9972) with the lower limit of quantitation of 5 ng/mL. The intraday and interday precisions were below 12.1% for all the analytes in terms of relative standard deviation, and the accuracy was within ±11.5% in terms of relative error. The extraction recovery, matrix effect and stability were satisfactory in rat plasma. The validated method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study of ferulic acid, paeoniflorin, and albiflorin after oral administration of Danggui-Shaoyao-San to rats. © 2020 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

In mass production of T. dendrolimi using Antheraea pernyi eggs as substitutive hosts, which are large in size, as clutch size is a parameter of importance to produce high quality parasitoids. Here, we aimed to determine the optimal clutch size for the bisexual Wolbachia-uninfected line (TdB) and Wolbachia-infected thelytokous line (TdT) of T. Nintedanib VEGFR inhibitor dendrolimi reared on A. pernyi eggs. RESULTS A medium clutch size of 42.75 to 62.27 for TdB and 52.93 to 57.14 for TdT was optimal to maximize fitness-correlated traits of parasitoid individual. The optimal clutch sizes with maximized parameters included adult emergence rate, adult body size, adult longevity, fecundity, and sum of fecundity of all females per brood were 58.31 (86.00%), 42.75 (231.11 μm), 50.92 (2.69 days), 62.27 (150.89 eggs), and 83.25 (7926.33 eggs) for TdB and 57.14 (94.54%), 52.93 (236.97 μm), 53.64 (2.62 days), 56.80 (161.01 eggs), and 70.10 (8579.71 eggs) for TdT. The TdT had a shorter adult longevity, longer development time, and higher adult emergence rate than did its non-infected bisexual counterpart. CONCLUSION A medium brood size in a A. pernyi egg host was optimal to produce offspring parasitoids with higher fitness parameters for both bisexual Wolbachia-uninfected and thelytokous Wolbachia-infected lines of T. dendrolimi. The determination of optimal clutch size for T. dendrolimi will provide the reference for the quality control of T. dendrolimi production and improvement of the field performance of the wasps. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.Streptokinase is used worldwide as a cost-effective treatment for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Manufacturers use the WHO International Standard (IS) for Streptokinase to potency label their products, ensuring consistent, safe, and effective dosing. Stocks of the 3rd IS for Streptokinase (coded 00/464) are running low, and an international collaborative study was organised to calibrate a replacement. A total of 15 laboratories from 9 countries took part, using chromogenic and/or fibrin clot lysis methods to determine the potency of two candidate preparations, coded 16/356 (sample B) and 16/358 (sample C), relative to the 3rd IS (00/464). A third sample (88/824, sample A) which was used in the collaborative studies to establish the 2nd and 3rd IS, was also included. There was good agreement in potency estimates from different assay methods, and low variability both within and between laboratories. Long-term stability modelling indicated the candidates are very stable. Comparison of potency estimates for 88/824 (sample A) with potencies calculated in previous studies revealed a variability of only 1.9 % over the course of three collaborative studies spanning 30 years and more than 50 years of Streptokinase standardisation. This indicates excellent continuity of the International Unit (IU) and assay methods. Following agreement by study participants and Scientific and Standardization Committee (SSC) experts of the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH), the WHO Expert Committee on Biological Standardization (ECBS) established 16/358 (sample C) as the 4th IS for Streptokinase with a potency of 1013 IU per ampoule, in October 2019.

Granulocyte colony stimulating factors (e.g., filgrastim) stimulate proliferation of neutrophil precursors and enhance mature neutrophil function. Owing to ethical constraints on conducting clinical research in lethally irradiated humans, we developed a model-based strategy to integrate preclinical experience in irradiated non-human primates (NHP) and other clinical myelosuppressive conditions to inform filgrastim dosing to treat hematopoietic syndrome of acute radiation syndrome. Models predicting neutrophil counts and overall survival based on drug exposures were calibrated and scaled from NHPs to adult and pediatric human subjects. Several scenarios were examined investigating variations in filgrastim doses, dose frequency, treatment initiation, and duration, as well as the effect of age and radiation dose rate. Model-based simulations and established safety profiles supported that a subcutaneous filgrastim dose of 10 µg/kg once daily provides a significant survival benefit (50%) over placebo in both adults and children, provided that the treatment is initiated within 1 to 14 days after radiation exposure and lasts 2 to 3 weeks. For treatment durations of longer than 3 weeks, filgrastim treatment is not expected to provide significantly greater benefit. This survival benefit is expected to hold for the wide range of radiation doses and dose rates (0.01 to 1000 Gy/h) examined. This article is protected by copyright.

METHODS Patient and liver transplant survival between 1998 and 2017 were analysed. Patients after AIH-LT (n=2,515) were compared with patients receiving LT for the other autoimmune liver diseases primary biliary cholangitis (PBC-LT, n=3,733) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC-LT, n=5,155) and for alcoholic liver cirrhosis (ALC-LT, n=19,567). RESULTS After AIH-LT, patient survival was 79.4%, 70.8% and 60.3% and graft survival 73.2%, 63.4% and 50.9% after 5, 10 and 15 years of follow-up. Overall patient survival was similar to patients after ALC-LT (P=0.44), but worse than after PBC-LT (hazard ratio [HR]=1.48, P less then 0.001) and PSC-LT (HR=1.19, P=0.002). AIH-LT patients were at increased risk for death (HR=1.37-1.84, P less then 0.001) and graft loss (HR=1.35-1.80, P less then 0.001) from infections compared to all other groups and had a particularly increased risk for lethal fungal infections (HR=3.
