Uropathogens <em>Escherichia coli (UPEC), Proteus mirabilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae</em> and <em>Enterococcus faecalis</em>, antibiotic-resistant gram-negative bacteria, cause serious cases of prolonged UTIs, increasing healthcare costs and potentially even leading to the death of an affected patient. This review discusses current knowledge about the increasing resistance to currently recommended antibiotics for UTI therapy, as well as novel therapeutic options. Traditional antibiotics are still a part of the therapy guidelines for UTIs, although they are often not effective and have serious side effects. Hence, novel drugs are being developed, such as combinations of β-lactam antibiotics with cephalosporins and carbapenems. Siderophoric cephalosporins, such as cefiderocol, have shown potential in the treatment of individuals with significant gram-negative bacterial infections, as well as aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones and tetracyclines that are also undergoing clinical trials. The use of cranberry and probiotics is another potential curative and preventive method that has shown antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects. However, further studies are needed to assess the efficacy and safety of probiotics containing cranberry extract for UTI prevention and treatment. An emerging novel approach for UTI treatment is the use of immuno-prophylactic vaccines, as well as different nanotechnology solutions such as nanoparticles (NP). NP have the potential to be used as delivery systems for drugs to specific targets. Furthermore, nanotechnology could enable the development of nano antibiotics with improved features by the application of different NPs in their structure, such as gold and copper NPs. However, further high-quality research is required for the synthesis and testing of these novel molecules, such as safety evaluation and pharmacovigilance.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":402,"journal":{"name":"Pharmacology & Therapeutics","volume":"261 ","pages":"Article 108688"},"PeriodicalIF":12.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0163725824001086/pdfft?md5=04c16e2d669acf095ccda39eb8fb74ad&pid=1-s2.0-S0163725824001086-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141553851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evidence gathered from human atheroma plaques indicates that intraplaque neovascularization poses a risk to plaque stability and may lead to plaque hemorrhage. Hence, targeting the neovascularization within the atheroma plaque has the potential to mitigate the plaque's vulnerability. While neovascularization has been extensively explored in the context of cancer, research on pharmacological inhibition of this phenomenon in atherosclerosis remains limited. This systematic review aimed to comprehensively assess current and emerging pharmacological interventions for inhibiting intraplaque neovascularization in preclinical settings. Electronic databases (Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and Ovid) were searched from January 2013 until February 1, 2024. Preclinical studies reporting the effect of any pharmacological interventions targeting intraplaque neovascularization were included. A total of 10 articles involving in vivo animal studies were eligible for inclusion, with five of them incorporating in vitro experiments to complement their in vivo findings. The pharmacological interventions studied were axitinib, ghrelin, K5, rosuvastatin, atorvastatin, 3PO, everolimus, melatonin, Si-Miao-Yong-A, and protocatechuic aldehyde.

In this review, we will initially recapitulate clinical and preclinical evidence supporting the link between ELA and psychopathology and we will primarily discuss the main biological mechanisms that have been described as potential mediators of the effects of ELA on the psychopathologic risk, including the role for genetic factors as well as sex differences. The knowledge emerging from these studies may be instrumental for the development of novel therapeutic strategies aimed not only at correcting the deficits that emerge from ELA exposure, but also in preventing the manifestation of a full-blown psychopathologic condition. With this respect, we will specifically focus on adolescence as a key time frame for disease onset as well as for early therapeutic intervention. We believe that incorporating clinical and preclinical research data in the context of early life adversities can be instrumental to elucidate the mechanisms contributing to the risk for psychopathology or that may promote resilience.

The cutaneous physical barrier is dependent on a specific lipid matrix that surrounds terminally-differentiated keratinocytes in the <em>stratum corneum</em>. Sebum- and keratinocyte-derived lipids cover the skin's surface and support and regulate the skin microbiota. Meanwhile, lipids signal between resident and infiltrating cutaneous immune cells, driving inflammation and its resolution in response to pathogens and other threats. Lipids of particular importance include ceramides, which are crucial for <em>stratum corneum</em> lipid matrix formation and therefore physical barrier functionality, fatty acids, which contribute to the acidic pH of the skin surface and regulate the microbiota, as well as the <em>stratum corneum</em> lipid matrix, and bioactive metabolites of these fatty acids, involved in cell signalling, inflammation, and numerous other cutaneous processes. These diverse and complex lipids maintain homeostasis in healthy skin, and are implicated in many cutaneous diseases, as well as unrelated systemic conditions with skin manifestations, and processes such as ageing.
