Dose-individualization Efficiently Maintains Sufficient Exposure to Methotrexate without Additional Toxicity in High-dose Methotrexate Regimens for Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Methotrexate (MTX) can be safely administered to most patients but may cause severe toxicity in others. This study aimed to summarize the characteristics of high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) chemotherapy and to ...

A New Immunosuppressive Therapy for Very Severe Aplastic Anemia in Children with Autoantibodies
At present, a number of very severe aplastic anemia (VSAA) patients cannot receive hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) or standard immunosuppressive therapy (IST) due to the high cost of therapy, sh...

Short-chain fatty acids exert opposite effects on the expression and function of p-glycoprotein and breast cancer resistance protein in rat intestine
P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) are involved in intestinal barrier. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) play important roles in maintaining intestinal barrier. In this study we ex...

Physiologically based pharmacokinetic–pharmacodynamic modeling for prediction of vonoprazan pharmacokinetics and its inhibition on gastric acid secretion following intravenous/oral administration to rats, dogs and humans
Vonoprazan is characterized as having a long-lasting antisecretory effect on gastric acid. In this study we developed a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK)-pharmacodynamic (PD) model linking to stomac...

Acute liver failure enhances oral plasma exposure of zidovudine in rats by downregulation of hepatic UGT2B7 and intestinal P-gp
HIV infection is often associated with liver failure, which alters the pharmacokinetics of many drugs. In this study we investigated whether acute liver failure (ALF) altered the pharmacokinetics of the first-...

Unconjugated bilirubin elevation impairs the function and expression of breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) at the blood-brain barrier in bile duct-ligated rats
Liver failure is associated with dyshomeostasis of efflux transporters at the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which contributes to hepatic encephalopathy. In this study we examined whether breast cancer resistance ...
