Advances in the Therapeutic Potential of Inhibitors Targeting Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 in Inflammatory Diseases
In this study, we analyzed nearly 30 different small-molecule GSK3 inhibitors reported in the past 4 years and classified them into four categories (thiazole, pyridine, F-substituted benzene, and others) according to their structure to conduct further literature research. Moreover, we summarized the optimal compounds and described the process of transformation from the lead compound to the optimal compound. In addition, we aimed to summarize the role of GSK3 in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases, with insights into the recent progress in the discovery of GSK3 inhibitors.PMID:37055897 | DOI:10.2174/138955752366623041...

Lithium-Associated Generalized Ostraceous Psoriasis Treated with Adalimumab: A Case Report
Clin Cosmet Investig Dermatol. 2023 Apr 6;16:947-950. doi: 10.2147/CCID.S408245. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTOstraceous psoriasis is a rare variant of psoriasis, characterized by severe hyperkeratotic lesions resembling an oyster shell. Adalimumab is a biological agent that antagonizes tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and is used clinically in plaque psoriasis. Some medications such as lithium carbonate (LC) may aggravate or trigger psoriasis. Here, we describe a case of generalized ostraceous psoriasis associated with lithium carbonate, whose lesions completely improved after discontinuing lithium carbonate and using adalimumab.P...

Molecules, Vol. 28, Pages 2024: CO2 Capture Membrane for Long-Cycle Lithium-Air Battery
Xizheng Liu Lithium-air batteries (LABs) have attracted extensive attention due to their ultra-high energy density. At present, most LABs are operated in pure oxygen (O2) since carbon dioxide (CO2) under ambient air will participate in the battery reaction and generate an irreversible by-product of lithium carbonate (Li2CO3), which will seriously affect the performance of the battery. Here, to solve this problem, we propose to prepare a CO2 capture membrane (CCM) by loading activated carbon encapsulated with lithium hydroxide (LiOH@AC) onto activated carbon fiber felt (ACFF). The effect of the LiOH@AC loading amount on...

A rare case of fatal poisoning during long-term therapy with lithium carbonate - chronic poisoning, suicide or psychiatric malpractice?
Psychiatr Pol. 2022 Sep 7:152050. doi: 10.12740/PP/OnlineFirst/152050. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe study aims to present a case of atypical poisoning with lithium carbonate in a 57-year-old woman treated for bipolar affective disorder with lithium carbonate for about 30 years. The patient was admitted to the hospital with significant agitation. An important finding obtained from the family interview was the patient's significant weight loss over the past year. In the hospital, the patient received haloperidol and clonazepam. Laboratory tests showed a very high blood lithium concentration of 3.79 mmol/l [N: 0.6─1.2 ...

Lithium carbonate in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients homozygous for the C-allele at SNP rs12608932 in UNC13A: protocol for a confirmatory, randomized, group-sequential, event-driven, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial
Given the large genetic heterogeneity in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), it seems likely that genetic subgroups may benefit differently from treatment. An exploratory meta-analysis identified that patient... (Source: Trials)

Later onset of Childhood Disintegrative Disorder (CDD): a case report
We present a case report of an 11-year-old male who achieved normal development for up to 7 years followed by a deterioration of previously acquired linguistic, intellectual, and social skills. Following treatment with lithium carbonate combined with risperidone, the patient experienced a reduction in irritability and aggression. CDD is a rare condition; therefore, the data presented may be useful to investigate its characteristics of the onset, to improve the understanding of the aspects of differentiation from the Autism Spectrum Disorder and finally to propose the possibility of treatment.PMID:36369699 | DOI:10.1080/135...
