Sodium Houttuyniae attenuates ferroptosis by regulating TRAF6-c-Myc signaling pathways in lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury (ALI).
The impact of Sodium Houttuyniae (SH) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI has been investigated extensively. However, it remains ambiguous whether ferroptosis participates in this process. This study aimed to find out the impacts and probable mechanisms of SH on LPS-induced ferroptosis. A rat ALI model and type II alveolar epithelial (ATII) cell injury model were treated with LPS. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, and Giemsa staining were executed to ascertain the effects of SH on LPS-induced ALI. Moreover, Transmission electron microscopy, Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8), ferrous iron colorimetric assay kit, Immunohistochemistry, Immunofluorescence, Reactive oxygen species assay kit, western blotting (Wb), and qRT-PCR examined the impacts of SH on LPS-induced ferroptosis and ferroptosis-related pathways. Theresults found that by using SH treatment, there was a remarkable attenuation of ALI by suppressing LPS-induced ferroptosis. Ferroptosis was demonstrated by a decline in the levels of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), FTH1, and glutathione (GSH) and a surge in the accumulation of malondialdehyde (MDA), reactive oxygen species (ROS), NOX1, NCOA4, and Fe2+, and disruption of mitochondrial structure, which were reversed by SH treatment. SH suppressed ferroptosis by regulating TRAF6-c-Myc in ALI rats and rat ATII cells. The results suggested that SH treatment attenuated LPS-induced ALI by repressing ferroptosis, and the mode of action can be linked to regulating the TRAF6-c-Myc signaling pathway in vivo and in vitro.

The subchronic toxicity of higher olefins in Han Wistar rats.
Higher olefins (HO) are a category of unsaturated hydrocarbons widely used in industry applications to make products essential for daily human life. Establishing safe exposure limits requires a solid data matrix that facilitates understanding of their toxicological profile. This in turn allows for data to be read across to other members of the category, which are structurally similar and have predictable physico-chemical properties. Five independent subchronic oral toxicity studies were conducted in Wistar rats with Oct-1-ene, Nonene, branched, Octadec-1-ene, Octadecene and hydrocarbon C12-30, olefin-rich, ethylene polymn. by product, at doses ranging from 20 to 1000 mg/kg bw. These HO were selected considering gut absorption, carbon chain length, double-bond position and carbon backbone structural variations. Generally, limited and non-adverse toxicity effects were observed at the end of the treatment for short carbon chain HO. For instance, alpha 2u-globulin nephropathy in the male rats and liver hypertrophy. No clear trend in systemic toxicity was linked to the double-bond position. Key factors for hazard assessment include absorption, carbon chain length, and branching, with Nonene, branched, identified as the worst-case substance. Taken together, the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) of each HO in these subchronic studies was set at the highest dose tested.

Appropriate use of triazolam in elderly patients considering a quantitative benefit-risk assessment based on the pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic modeling and simulation approach supported by real-world data.
Triazolam is a typical drug commonly used in the elderly; however, there have been concerns about its adverse events resulting from age-related changes in physiological function and drug interactions with concomitant drugs. Thus, updated information contributing to the appropriate use based on the latest pharmacokinetic and post-marketing surveillance methods is needed. In this study, we evaluated the appropriate use of triazolam in the elderly by integrating real-world data with a modeling and simulation approach. The occurrence risk of adverse events in the elderly was evaluated using the spontaneous adverse event reporting regulatory databases from Japan and the United States. Information on drug concentrations and reactions was extracted from previous publications to estimate the threshold for plasma triazolam concentrations that cause adverse events. The pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) model was then constructed, and the dose and administration were evaluated in various situations anticipated in medical practice. Among all prescriptions, 25.4% were prescribed to individuals aged 80 years or above, and 51.8% were for those aged 70 years or above. A majority of cases involved CYP3A-metabolized drug combinations, accounting for 85.6%. Elderly individuals were at a higher risk of developing delirium and fall-fracture. Based on the constructed PK/PD model, the risk of adverse events increased when the plasma concentration of triazolam exceeded the calculated threshold of 0.44 ng/mL at approximately 6 h after administration. Administering 0.125 mg of triazolam, is half the approved dose for the elderly in Japan was deemed appropriate. Moreover, there was a substantial risk of adverse events even at a dosage of 0.0625 mg in combination with a moderate or strong inhibitor of cytochrome P450 3 A. Analyzing large-scale databases and existing research publications on PK/PD can practically contribute to optimizing triazolam drug therapy for the elderly in the daily clinical setting.

Comparison of the efficacy and adverse effects of oral ferrous succinate tablets and intravenous iron sucrose: a retrospective study.
To analyse the clinical efficacy and adverse drug reactions (ADRs) of iron preparations. A total of 374 patients with iron deficiency anaemia admitted to our hospital between 1 January and 31 December 2020 were included in this study. They were divided into 2 groups based on their medication regimens: Group A (n = 187) took oral ferrous succinate tablets, and Group B (n = 187) received intravenous iron sucrose. The remission of major symptoms, laboratory test results, ADRs and other related data were collected after 4 weeks of treatment. Compared with the pre-treatment baseline, haemoglobin (Hb), serum iron (SI), serum ferritin (SF) and the mean corpuscular volume (MCV) increased in both groups at 4 weeks of treatment (P < 0.05). After treatment, Group A had lower levels of Hb (108.41 ± 8.39 vs. 122.31 ± 6.04 g/L, t = 6.293, P < 0.001), SI (9.72 ± 4.24 vs. 15.62 ± 5.41 µmol/L, t = 5.482, P < 0.001) and SF (27.1 ± 10.82 vs. 39.82 ± 10.44 ug/L, t = 6.793, P < 0.001) compared with Group B. In contrast, there was no significant difference in the post-treatment level of MCV (P > 0.05). The overall response rate significantly differed between the 2 groups (78.61% vs. 90.91%, χ2 = 10.949, P < 0.001). The incidence of ADRs of both groups were similar, and the difference was not statistically significant (χ2 = 0.035, P = 0.851). Iron sucrose demonstrates favourable efficacy and safety in treating iron deficiency anaemia.

Drug-induced liver injury associated with atypical generation antipsychotics from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS).
Recent studies have shown that liver enzyme abnormalities were not only seen with typical antipsychotics (APs) but also with atypical antipsychotics (AAPs). During the last 20 years, the hepatotoxicity of various antipsychotics received much attention. However, systematic evaluations of hepatotoxicity associated with APs are limited. All drug related hepatic disorders cases were retrieved from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database using standardized MedDRA queries (SMQ) from the first quarter of 2017 to the first quarter of 2022. Patient characteristics and prognosis were assessed. In this study, a case/non-case approach was used to calculate reporting odds ratio (RORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). We calculated the drug-induced liver injury (DILI) RORs for each AAPs. A total of 408 DILI cases were attributed to AAPs during the study period. 18.6% of these were designated as serious adverse event (SAE), which include death (19.74%), hospitalization (68.42%), disability (2.63%), and life-threatening (9.21%) outcomes. The RORs values in descending order were: quetiapine (ROR = 0.782), clozapine (ROR = 0.665), aripiprazole (ROR = 0.507), amisulpride (ROR = 0.308), paliperidone (ROR = 0.212), risperidone (ROR = 0.198), ziprasidone (0.131). The result found in our study was that all AAPs didn't have a significant correlation with increased hepatotoxicity. Future analysis of the FAERS database in conjunction with other data sources will be essential for continuous monitoring of DILI.
