    Abstract Whole-exome sequencing (WES) is widely used in clinical settings; however, the exploration of its use in pharmacogenomic analysis remains limited. Our study compared the variant callings for 28 core absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination genes by WES and array-based technology using clinical trials samples. The results revealed that WES had a positive predictive value of 0.71-0.92 and a sensitivity of single-nucleotide variants between 0.68 and 0.95, compared with array-based technology, for the variants in the commonly targeted regions of the WES and PhamacoScan™ assay. Besides the common variants detected by both assays, WES identified 200-300 exclusive variants per sample, totalling 55 annotated exclusive variants, including important modulators of metabolism such as rs2032582 (

    Abstract Bintrafusp alfa, a first-in-class bifunctional fusion protein composed of the extracellular domain of TGF-βRII (a TGF-β "trap") fused to a human IgG1 mAb blocking PD-L1, is being evaluated for efficacy and safety in solid tumor indications as monotherapy and in combination with small-molecule drugs. We evaluated the perpetrator drug-drug interaction (DDI) potential of bintrafusp alfa via cytochrome P4503A4 (CYP3A4) enzyme modulation, which is responsible for the metabolism of a majority of drugs. The holistic approach included (1) evaluation of longitudinal profiles of cytokines implicated in CYP3A4 modulation and serum 4β-hydroxycholesterol, an endogenous marker of CYP3A4 activity, in a phase I clinical study, and (2) transcriptomics analysis of the CYP3A4 mRNA levels vs the TGFB gene expression signature in normal hepatic tissues. Bintrafusp alfa was confirmed not to cause relevant proinflammatory cytokine modulation or alterations in 4β-hydroxycholesterol serum concentrations in phase I studies. Transcriptomics analyses revealed no meaningful correlations between TGFB gene expression and CYP3A4 mRNA expression, supporting the conclusion that the risk of CYP3A4 enzyme modulation due to TGF-β neutralization by bintrafusp alfa is low. Thus, bintrafusp alfa is not expected to have DDI potential as a perpetrator with co-administered drugs metabolized by CYP3A4; this information is relevant to clinical evaluations of bintrafusp alfa in combination settings.

    Abstract Dual toll-like receptor (TLR) 7 and TLR8 inhibitor enpatoran is under investigation as a treatment for lupus and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia. Population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PopPK/PD) model-based simulations, using PK and PD (inhibition of ex vivo-stimulated interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interferon-α (IFN-α) secretion) data from a phase I study of enpatoran in healthy participants, were leveraged to inform dose selection for lupus and repurposed for accelerated development in COVID-19.

    Abstract Background: Prior work has shown that burnout among breast surgeons is prevalent and highest in those earlier in their clinical practice career. Therefore, we sought to better understand and identify specific contributors to early-career breast surgeon burnout.
    Methods: We analyzed data from our 2017 survey of members of the American Society of Breast Surgeons. The 16-items of the Professional Fulfillment Index were used in determining overall burnout and professional fulfillment scores. Multivariable regressions were performed to evaluate factors related to overall burnout and professional fulfillment.
    Results: The mean overall burnout score was 1.23 (0-4 scale; higher score unfavorable) for surgeons in practice < 5 years, compared with 1.39 for surgeons in practice 5-9 years and 1.22 for those in practice ≥ 10 years. The mean professional fulfillment score was 2.71 (0-4 scale; higher score favorable) for surgeons in practice < 5 years, 2.66 for surgeons in practice 5-9 years, and 2.67 for surgeons in practice ≥ 10 years. Multivariable analysis showed that burnout was positively correlated with ≥ 60 work hours per week in the group practicing for < 5 years, and dedicating less than full time to breast surgery in the group in practice 5-9 years. Professional fulfillment was negatively associated with single relationship status in surgeons practicing < 5 years, and dedicating less than full time to breast surgery for those in practice 5-9 years.
    Conclusion: Our study suggests that breast surgeons who have been in practice for 5-9 years have particularly high overall burnout rates and additional support focused on this group of breast surgeons may be needed.

    Abstract Benoxaprofen (BNX), a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that was withdrawn because of hepatotoxicity, is more toxic than its structural analog flunoxaprofen (FLX) in humans and rats. Acyl glucuronides have been hypothesized to be reactive metabolites and may be associated with toxicity. Both time- and concentration-dependent glucuronidation and covalent binding of BNX, FLX, and ibuprofen (IBP) were determined by exposing sandwich-cultured rat hepatocytes to each NSAID. The levels of glucuronide and covalent protein adduct measured in cells followed the order BNX > FLX > IBP. These results indicate that 1) BNX-glucuronide (G) is more reactive than FLX-G, and 2) IBP-G is the least reactive metabolite, which support previous in vivo studies in rats. The proportional increases of protein adduct formation for BNX, FLX, and IBP as acyl glucuronidation increased also support the hypothesis that part of the covalent binding of all three NSAIDs to hepatic proteins is acyl glucuronide-dependent. Moreover, theses studies confirmed the feasibility of using sandwich-cultured rat hepatocytes for studying glucuronidation and covalent binding to hepatocellular proteins. These studies also showed that these in vitro methods can be applied using human tissues for the study of acyl glucuronide reactivity. More BNX-protein adduct was formed in sandwich-cultured human hepatocytes than FLX-protein adduct, which not only agreed with its relative toxicity in humans but also was consistent with the in vitro findings using rat hepatocyte cultures. These data support the use of sandwich-cultured human hepatocytes as an in vitro screening model of acyl glucuronide exposure and reactivity.

    Abstract Background: The level of breastfeeding knowledge of nursing students may influence their ability to support breastfeeding families. However, to date, it has not been possible to measure this accurately due to the lack of existence of a validated tool in Chinese.
    Objectives: To translate the Comprehensive Breastfeeding Knowledge Scale (CBKS) into Chinese, and then evaluate its psychometric properties among Chinese undergraduate nursing students in order to inform and evaluate a nursing breastfeeding education programme.
    Methods: The Brislin translation model was followed, and a three-phase process (translation, back-translation and cultural adaptation) was used to sinicize the CBKS and evaluate its content validity. Construct validity was evaluated with exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and the reliability of internal consistency of the Chinese version of the CBKS was tested by calculating Cronbach's alpha coefficient and the half reliability coefficient.
    Settings: Two nursing schools in Beijing and Nanjing, China.
    Participants: Four hundred and thirty-nine undergraduate nursing students (257 from Beijing and 182 from Nanjing).
    Results: Five experts rated the content validity of the Chinese version of the CBKS as excellent. EFA showed that the Chinese version of the CBKS had three subscales and 23 items. Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the Chinese version of the CBKS and the half reliability coefficient were 0.70 and 0.73, respectively. Students who had completed an obstetrics or paediatric nursing course had significantly higher total scores and mean scores for most items compared with those who had not taken a course. Most of the indictors of EFA met the standards of construct validity, and some were very close to the cut-off.
    Conclusion: Overall, the 23-item Chinese version of the CBKS is an acceptable tool to measure the level of breastfeeding knowledge among undergraduate nursing students. This scale can be used to inform the design and evaluation of breastfeeding education materials for nursing students or other health profession students.
