Blocking group 2 innate lymphoid cell activation and macrophage M2 polarization: potential therapeutic mechanisms in ovalbumin-induced allergic asthma by calycosin
CONCLUSIONS: Collectively, this study showed that calycosin might attenuate OVA-induced airway inflammation and remodeling in asthmatic mice via preventing ILC2 activation and macrophage M2 polarization. Our study might contribute to further study of asthmatic therapy.PMID:38650035 | PMC:PMC11036756 | DOI:10.1186/s40360-024-00751-9 (Source: BMC Pharmacology and Toxicology)

Treatment for Covid-19 with SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody BRII-196(Ambavirumab) plus BRII-198(Lomisivir): a retrospective cohort study
CONCLUSION: The neutralizing antibody therapy, BRII-196 plus BRII-198 could shorten LOS and interval of Covid-19 nucleic acid from positive to negative. However, it didn't show efficacy for improving clinical outcomes among severe or critical cases.PMID:38641625 | PMC:PMC11027409 | DOI:10.1186/s40360-024-00753-7 (Source: BMC Pharmacology and Toxicology)

Determination of drug-related problems according to PAIR criteria in dialysis patients: a cross-sectional study in tertiary care hospital
CONCLUSIONS: As a result, PAIR criteria can identify clinically relevant DRPs in patients with CKD and is a new, validated tool to be used in Turkey, but may not be adequate for patients receiving dialysis. Therefore, it needs to be reviewed and updated for dialysis patients.PMID:38637817 | PMC:PMC11025200 | DOI:10.1186/s40360-024-00754-6 (Source: BMC Pharmacology and Toxicology)

Effects of nicotine on microRNA-124 expression in bile duct ligation-induced liver fibrosis in rats
CONCLUSION: Considering that miRNA-124 is an anti-inflammatory miRNA, it can be concluded that the decrease in its expression due to nicotine exposure leads to an increase in inflammatory processes and subsequently to an increase in liver fibrosis.PMID:38549169 | PMC:PMC10976767 | DOI:10.1186/s40360-024-00749-3 (Source: BMC Pharmacology and Toxicology)
