Article Abstract
We describe the case of a 14-year-old girl with osteosarcoma who was treated with high-dose methotrexate (12 g/m). Twenty-four hours after the infusion, her plasma methotrexate concentration was elevated at 937 μmol/L (normal < 10 µmol/L). She exhibited severe signs of methotrexate toxicity, including encephalopathy, acute liver failure (ALF), and acute kidney injury. In this case report, we highlight the severe and rare adverse effects secondary to methotrexate administration and the efficacity of molecular adsorbent recirculating system and continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration to recover from multiple organ failure.

Objective: We previously documented that exposure to a spectrum of elements is associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, there is a lack of mechanistic understanding as to how elemental mixtures contribute to the ASD development.
Materials And Methods: Serum and urinary concentrations of 26 elements and six biomarkers of ASD-relevant pathophysiologic pathways including serum HIPK 2, serum p53 protein, urine malondialdehyde (MDA), urine 8-OHdG, serum melatonin, and urine carnitine, were measured in 21 ASD cases and 21 age-matched healthy controls of children aged 6-12 years.

Cyanobacteria played a pivotal role in shaping Earth's early history and today are key players in many ecosystems. As versatile and ubiquitous phototrophs, they are used as models for oxygenic photosynthesis, nitrogen fixation, circadian rhythms, symbiosis, and adaptations to harsh environments. Cyanobacterial genomes and metagenomes exhibit high levels of genomic diversity partly driven by gene flow within and across species.

Frequent emergence of respiratory viruses with pandemic potential, like SARS-CoV-2 or influenza, underscores the need for broad-spectrum prophylaxis. Existing vaccines show reduced efficacy against newly emerged variants, and the ongoing risk of new outbreaks highlights the importance of alternative strategies to prevent infection and viral transmission. As respiratory viruses primarily enter through the nose, formulations targeting the nasal epithelium are attractive candidates to neutralize pathogens and thus prevent or minimize infection.

Ion channels are integral membrane proteins which facilitate rapid transport of small ions into and out of the cell and between organelles and cytosol. Cytolytic lymphocytes including natural killer (NK) cells principally kill virus-infected and cancer cells by releasing cytolytic granules within the immunological synapse, formed between target and effector cells. This process strongly depends on Ca2+ signaling, which in human NK cells is controlled by the phospholipase C (PLCγ)/inositol-1,4,5-triphospate receptor (IP3R)/calcium release-activated calcium channel (CRAC) axis.

Somatic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations are frequently observed in tumors, yet their role in pediatric cancers remains poorly understood. The heteroplasmic nature of mtDNA-where mutant and wild-type mtDNA coexist-complicates efforts to define its contribution to disease progression. In this study, bulk whole-genome sequencing of 637 matched tumor-normal samples from the Pediatric Cancer Genome Project revealed an enrichment of functionally impactful mtDNA variants in specific pediatric leukemia subtypes.
