Animals (<i>n</i> = 20) were randomly assigned into two groups: Group I served as a negative control while Group II was treated with amoxicillin every alternative week for 10 weeks. At the end of the experiment period, five animals (<i>n</i> = 05) from each group were euthanised, blood and tissue samples were utilised for further analysis, and the remaining five (<i>n</i> = 05) animals per group were utilised to assess the fertility index. Ultrastructural and sperm parameter analyses and histomorphology assessment of the testis revealed significant impairments (<i>p</i> < 0.05) following amoxicillin exposure. Amoxicillin exposure also caused significant elevation of oxidative stress and double strand DNA breaks in testicular cells as demonstrated by increased level of 8-OHdG and γ-H2AX positive cells in the testis (<i>p</i> < 0.001). To summarise, this study indicated that recurrent exposure to amoxicillin can induce reproductive toxicity through oxidative stress and genotoxic mechanisms, compromising sperm integrity and fertility potential in male mice.

Our research investigates the impact of drugs on CYP3A4 enzyme activity and protein expression, and that CYP3A4 inhibition induced by drugs may exacerbate under hypoxia. Molecular docking has found that the drug has binding sites with amino acid residues in the active region of CYP3A4, which may affect the ability of the CYP3A4 enzyme to metabolize drugs. Twenty male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into two groups: control (FiO<sub>2</sub>: 21%), hypoxia (FiO<sub>2</sub>: 10%) for 14 days. Liver microsomes from hypoxic and normoxic rats were used for in vitro experiments by high-performance liquid chromatography. Drug concentration in blood in vivo was measured by LC–MS/MS. Further studies have revealed that drugs mediate the degradation of CYP3A4 ubiquitination-proteasome pathway through E3 ubiquitin ligase gp78 by immunoprecipitation, which may exacerbate the CYP3A4 inhibition under hypoxic conditions.

Rodgers' (1989) evolutionary framework of concept analysis was employed, alongside qualitative data collection, to examine the extent to which people with intellectual disability, their family members and health professionals have similar beliefs about appropriate psychotropic use and shared decision making processes. This study found that the justification for psychotropic use ranges from maintaining mood and safety according to service users and service providers; however, only service providers spoke about the use of medication as a last resort or legacy use. We identified organisational and health system factors, as well as professional, cultural, and relational factors stemming from diverging perceptions of psychotropic risk and power imbalances that influence psychotropic use. This suggests that there are gaps in understanding how to support decision making among people with intellectual disability about their medications.

To explore pharmacists' and physicians' insights, qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted via Microsoft Teams with physicians and pharmacists involved in a pharmacist-led deprescribing. The interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed abductively. A total of four pharmacists and four physicians from four health centres participated in this study. Pharmacist-led deprescribing was perceived as having positive outcomes and as being efficient, particularly in saving physicians' time and resources. Various patient-related facilitators and barriers were identified, with patient motivation and willingness being the most cited. Suggestions for improvement included establishing clear criteria for deprescribing, clarifying the roles in the process flow, providing enhanced deprescribing guidance and educational materials and enhancing the patient-centred approach by actively involving patients in the decision-making process and considering the patient's overall situation.

Using a monocrotaline (MCT)-induced pulmonary hypertension (PH) rat model, we performed a detailed molecular analysis of AFC transporter expression at different disease stages, both before and after PH development.

Conversely, RIO showed trends towards fluid accumulation, indicated by perivascular oedema in control animals and reduced oxygen saturation in MCT-treated rats.
