Depression is a relatively common psychiatric disorder at this stage. Focusing on the clinical treatment methods of adolescent depression, this review summarizes and discusses the progress of psychotherapy, the progress of medication, and other physical therapy methods applied in todays clinic for treating adolescent patients with depression and finds that the psychotherapeutic method that is applied more in todays clinic is cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT); medications such as fluoxetine are mostly used, but it is difficult to guarantee the safety of medication use, and the combination of Chinese and Western medications is often used in China. In China, a combination of Chinese and Western medicines is often used; at the same time, repetitive transcranial magnetic therapy is often used, and electroconvulsive therapy is occasionally used. At the same time, the combination of multiple therapies has a better effect.","PeriodicalId":489336,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical and Natural Science","volume":"165 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139629040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus contributes to the development of artificial hearts, which can be created to substitute the old, the ill heart without waiting for transplantable hearts. Nowadays, this paper shows the public the artificial hearts. Through the extensive literature, it is clear that the development of artificial hearts. Dating back to the fifties of the last century, scientists began studying artificial hearts. Till now, China has created four generations of artificial hearts. They became more and more strong. The importance of the heart goes without saying, however, every year there are more and more heart failure patients. Paying more attention to the artificial hearts helps reduce the death rate of heart failures. Actually, although the patients can get the heart donors, they may not tolerate rejection. So research into artificial hearts more suitable for patients is imminent. This paper mainly introduces the fourth-generation artificial hearts (in fact, it is an improved version of the third generation), the magnetic levitation artificial heart attracts much more attention, and its composition and function have been greatly improved, reducing the difficulty of surgery. It is hoped that people can know much more about artificial hearts, and prospects for better methods to make better artificial hearts, and promote heart transplantations.","PeriodicalId":489336,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical and Natural Science","volume":"80 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139629505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several studies have proved that a healthy lifestyle can effectively improve the health of the elderly. However, a series of factors, such as poor sleep quality, continue to harm the health of the elderly, resulting in reduced quality of life. With the large scale and rapid aging, the proportion of the elderly in the population is also increasing. In an aging society, the biggest problems plaguing the elderly are the loss of sleep quality and the loss of memory and concentration. People may have sleep disorders as they get older, and sleep problems will affect memory. This study used literature research to summarize the relationship between population aging and sleep. Compared with previous studies, this paper is more targeted and comprehensive in explaining the relationship between the three from micro and macro perspectives: aging leads to changes in sleep structure and duration, which further affects memory ability.","PeriodicalId":489336,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical and Natural Science","volume":"44 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139535214","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Monitoring child growth is crucial for the early identification of growth-related disorders. One such condition is the underperformance of the pituitary gland, which can lead to a deficiency in growth hormone, manifesting as short stature. Therapeutic interventions, such as growth hormone therapy and low-dose androgen therapy, have proven effective. These treatments utilize synthetic hormones to foster normal growth. Prompt and accurate diagnosis, coupled with precise treatment, is critical to empower individuals to reach their maximum growth potential and alleviate associated health concerns. Future research should aim to deepen our understanding of the interplay between pituitary cells, uncover additional genetic factors contributing to short stature, and enhance growth hormone replacement therapies. Such progress will significantly bolster the diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for children with growth impairments.","PeriodicalId":489336,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical and Natural Science","volume":"147 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139629123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many medications targeting these illnesses remain challenged due to efflux transporters forming a blood-brain barrier (BBB). To combat such challenges, elacridar shown promise at inhibiting such transporters, such as P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), therefore improving brain penetration. However, as an early clinical candidate, many remain unknown about elacridars pharmacokinetic (PK) properties in the human body. This paper aims to obtain a better understanding of elacridars pharmacokinetic profile and predict the optimal dose and dose interval for its application in the clinic. To begin with, a series of basic PK models were created using fundamental PK equations and the models were fit to elacridar clinical data to obtain elacridar-specific PK parameters. Next, elacridar preclinical PK as well as in vitro inhibition assay were used to determine the therapeutic window. Our final, multiple-dose extravascular PK model reveals that the most convenient and effective dose regimen is 900 mg BID (bis in die; twice per day). With this elacridar PK model, researchers can leverage elacridar human PK to improve clinical outcomes.","PeriodicalId":489336,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical and Natural Science","volume":"3 s4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139628699","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
