Comparing the efficacy of dextrose, mannitol, and saline solutions in male rabbits' chemical castration

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Our study demonstrated that a single bilateral intra‐testicular injection of 50% dextrose (Group A) and 20% mannitol (Group B) solutions cannot serve as chemical sterilizing agents in male rabbits. However, intra‐testicular injection of 0.9% saline (Group C) significantly reduced the seminiferous tubule quality (STQ), seminiferous tubule maturity (STM),

Oral vancomycin solution is superior to capsule in inducing clinical biomarker and endoscopic remission in children with atypical ulcerative colitis

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Atypical colitis (presenting reverse gradient colitis, backwash ileitis or rectal sparing) is associated with primary sclerosing cholangitis–ulcerative colitis (PSC). Oral vancomycin has been used to manage paediatric atypical colitis with/without confirmed PSC. Different preparations had shown different efficacy.
