Abstract
Nirmatrelvir/ritonavir is a promising option for preventing severe COVID-19 in solid organ transplant recipients with SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, concerns have arisen regarding potential drug interactions with calcineurin inhibitors (CNI). This two-phase multicentre retrospective study, involving 113 patients on tacrolimus and 13 on cyclosporine A, aimed to assess the feasibility and outcomes of recommendations issued by The French societies of transplantation (SFT) and pharmacology (SFPT) for CNI management in this context. The study first evaluated adherence to recommendations, CNI exposure, and clinical outcomes. Notably, 96.5% of patients on tacrolimus adhered to the recommendations, maintaining stable tacrolimus trough concentrations (C0) during nirmatrelvir/ritonavir treatment. After reintroduction, most patients experienced increased C0, with 42.9% surpassing 15 ng/mL, including three patients exceeding 40 ng/mL. Similar trends were observed in cyclosporine A patients, with no COVID-19-related hospitalizations. Moreover, data from 22 patients were used to refine the reintroduction strategy. Modelling analyses suggested reintroducing tacrolimus at 50% of the initial dose on day 8, and then at 100% from day 9 as the optimal approach. In conclusion, the current strategy effectively maintains consistent tacrolimus exposure during nirmatrelvir/ritonavir treatment, and a stepwise reintroduction of tacrolimus may be better suited to the low CYP3A recovery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the absence of liver transplantation, the natural history of acetaminophen-induced liver failure is characterized by a progressive increase of liver function tests, including bilirubin mainly as its conjugated form. The presence of high levels of unconjugated bilirubin is more unusual; its etiology is unclear and its prognostic factor has been poorly investigated. CASE REPORT A 52-year-old man with a history of chronic analgesics, alcohol, and illicit drug abuse developed acute liver failure in relationship with the ingestion of largely supra-therapeutic doses of acetaminophen over the days preceding admission. The patient received the classical N-acetylcysteine treatment regimen for acetaminophen overdose. Clinical course was characterized by a progressive worsening of the neurological condition, evolving to grade IV encephalopathy. Coagulation disorders persisted, with factor V level <10%. He fulfilled the criteria for liver transplantation, but this option was rejected after a careful psychiatric evaluation. Laboratory investigations revealed a progressive increase in serum unconjugated bilirubin until his death. As evidence for hemolysis was lacking, acquired deficit in bilirubin glucuronidation appeared likely and diagnosis of Gilbert's syndrome was excluded. CONCLUSIONS After the exclusion of other causes of high unconjugated bilirubin levels, the progressive increase in unconjugated bilirubin can reflect a persistent defect in bilirubin conjugation in relationship with liver centrilobular injury, but the relationship with acetaminophen-glucuronidation is not known and there are insufficient data to affirm that the ratio unconjugated/conjugated bilirubin could be used as a prognostic factor.

Abstract
A 56-year-old woman was transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU) two days after an allogeneic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) when she presented acute respiratory distress due to the relapse of a SARS-CoV-2 infection. Following that, she received two intravenous doses of 100 mg remdesivir. Subsequently, the patient developed multiple instances of diarrhea, progressing to oliguria and acute kidney injury, necessitating continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH). Despite the absence of signs of hypoxemia or cardiocirculatory failure requiring vasopressor intervention, a progressive lactic acidosis emerged. Two days after the onset of lactic acidosis, a significant rise in aminotransferases and lactate dehydrogenase occurred, in the absence of encephalopathy and coagulation disorders. Remdesivir therapy had been interrupted upon the initial signs of lactic acidosis. Despite an improvement in liver function tests and lactic acidosis, the patient's condition deteriorated, ultimately leading to her demise on day 29 due to newly arising hematological complications.

Abstract
Atorvastatin (ATV) and other statins are highly effective in reducing cholesterol levels. However, in some patients, the development of drug-associated muscle side effects remains an issue as it compromises the adherence to treatment. Since the toxicity is dose-dependent, exploring factors modulating pharmacokinetics (PK) appears fundamental. The purpose of this review aims at reporting the current state of knowledge about the singular genetic susceptibilities influencing the risk of developing ATV muscle adverse events through PK modulations. Multiple single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in efflux (ABCB1, ABCC1, ABCC2, ABCC4 and ABCG2) and influx (SLCO1B1, SLCO1B3 and SLCO2B1) transporters have been explored for their association with ATV PK modulation or with statin-related myotoxicities (SRM) development. The most convincing pharmacogenetic association with ATV remains the influence of the rs4149056 (c.521 T > C) in SLCO1B1 on ATV PK and pharmacodynamics. This SNP has been robustly associated with increased ATV systemic exposure and consequently, an increased risk of SRM. Additionally, the SNP rs2231142 (c.421C > A) in ABCG2 has also been associated with increased drug exposure and higher risk of SRM occurrence. SLCO1B1 and ABCG2 pharmacogenetic associations highlight that modulation of ATV systemic exposure is important to explain the risk of developing SRM. However, some novel observations credit the hypothesis that additional genes (e.g. SLCO2B1 or ABCC1) might be important for explaining local PK modulations within the muscle tissue, indicating that studying the local PK directly at the skeletal muscle level might pave the way for additional understanding.

Abstract
Clinical use of tacrolimus (TAC), an essential immunosuppressant following transplantation, is complexified by its high pharmacokinetic (PK) variability. The gut microbiota gains growing interest but limited investigations have evaluated its contribution to TAC PKs. Here, we explore the associations between the gut microbiota composition and TAC PKs. In this pilot cross-sectional study (Clinicaltrial.gov NCT04360031), we recruited 93 CYP3A5 non-expressers stabilized kidney transplant recipients. Gut microbiota composition was characterized by 16S rRNA gene sequencing, TAC PK parameters were computed, and additional demographic and medical covariates were collected. Associations between PK parameters or diabetic status and the gut microbiota composition, as reflected by α- and β-diversity metrics, were evaluated. Patients with higher TAC area under the curve AUC/(dose/kg) had higher bacterial richness, and TAC PK parameters were associated with specific bacterial taxa (e.g., Bilophila) and amplicon sequence variant (ASV; e.g., ASV 1508 and ASV 1982 (Veillonella/unclassified Sporomusaceae); ASV 664 (unclassified Oscillospiraceae)). Building a multiple linear regression model showed that ASV 1508 (co-abundant with ASV 1982) and ASV 664 explained, respectively, 16.0% and 4.6% of the interindividual variability in TAC AUC/(dose/kg) in CYP3A5 non-expresser patients, when adjusting for hematocrit and age. Anaerostipes relative abundance was decreased in patients with diabetes. Altogether, this pilot study revealed unprecedented links between the gut microbiota composition and diversity and TAC PKs in stable kidney transplant recipients. It supports the relevance of studying the gut microbiota as an important contributor to TAC PK variability. Elucidating the causal relationship will offer new perspectives to predict TAC inter- and intra-PK variability.

Abstract
Background The African Copperbelt is a site of intense artisanal and industrial mining and refining of copper and cobalt. Aim We aimed to investigate factors that are possibly associated with erectile dysfunction (ED) in metal miners in the former Katanga province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Methods In a cross-sectional study of 138 miners and 139 controls (bakers), we administered questionnaires to obtain sociodemographic and occupational data and to assess male sexual function (International Index of Erectile Function [IIEF]) and marital relation quality (Revised Dyadic Adjustment Scale). Furthermore, we measured trace metals in blood and urine, as well as testosterone and thyroid hormones in serum. Outcomes Outcomes included the prevalence of questionnaire-derived ED and the relation of ED with individual characteristics, serum testosterone, and environmental factors. Results Miners were on average 4 years older than bakers (mean ± SD, 37.5 ± 6.9 vs 33.3 ± 5.7 years). Miners had significantly lower scores than bakers on the IIEF (median [IQR], 66 [49-73] vs 73 [66-74]) and the 3 domains of the Revised Dyadic Adjustment Scale (consensus, satisfaction, cohesion). Free testosterone was significantly lower in miners than bakers (ng/dL; 8.11 [6.90-10.10] vs 10.52 [8.83-12.58]; P ˂ .001). In miners, sex hormone-binding globulin correlated positively with blood Pb and urinary Cd. In a multivariable analysis, mild to moderate ED or moderate ED (IIEF-erectile function score ≤18) was significantly associated with having a mining-related job (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 2.6; 95% CI, 1.3-5.3), work seniority ˃5 years (aOR, 2.3; 95% CI, 1.1-4.6), alcohol consumption (aOR, 2.8; 95% CI, 1.2-6.7), and aphrodisiacs use (aOR, 4.2; 95% CI, 2.2-8.0). Mediation analysis showed that marital relationship partially mediated the relation between work seniority >5 years in mining and ED. Clinical Implications The high prevalence of ED found in artisanal mine workers indicates that work-related factors should be considered as possibly contributing, directly or indirectly, to sexual dysfunction in men. Strengths and Limitations Strengths include being the first epidemiologic study documenting ED with validated questionnaires and its possible determinants, including exposure to toxic metals, among young artisanal miners vs a suitable control group. Limitations are the cross-sectional design with convenience sampling and absence of objective confirmation of ED. Conclusion As compared with controls, miners reported poorer sexual function and lower quality of their marital relationship, and they had lower free testosterone levels, which may be due to their high exposure to trace metals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Following solid organ transplantation, tacrolimus (TAC) is an essential drug in the immunosuppressive strategy. Its use constitutes a challenge due to its narrow therapeutic index and its high inter- and intra-pharmacokinetic (PK) variability. As the contribution of the gut microbiota to drug metabolism is now emerging, it might be explored as one of the factors explaining TAC PK variability. Herein, we explored the consequences of TAC administration on the gut microbiota composition. Reciprocally, we studied the contribution of the gut microbiota to TAC PK, using a combination of in vivo and in vitro models. RESULTS TAC oral administration in mice resulted in compositional alterations of the gut microbiota, namely lower evenness and disturbance in the relative abundance of specific bacterial taxa. Compared to controls, mice with a lower intestinal microbial load due to antibiotics administration exhibit a 33% reduction in TAC whole blood exposure and a lower inter-individual variability. This reduction in TAC levels was strongly correlated with higher expression of the efflux transporter ABCB1 (also known as the p-glycoprotein (P-gp) or the multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1)) in the small intestine. Conventionalization of germ-free mice confirmed the ability of the gut microbiota to downregulate ABCB1 expression in a site-specific fashion. The functional inhibition of ABCB1 in vivo by zosuquidar formally established the implication of this efflux transporter in the modulation of TAC PK by the gut microbiota. Furthermore, we showed that polar bacterial metabolites could recapitulate the transcriptional regulation of ABCB1 by the gut microbiota, without affecting its functionality. Finally, whole transcriptome analyses pinpointed, among others, the Constitutive Androstane Receptor (CAR) as a transcription factor likely to mediate the impact of the gut microbiota on ABCB1 transcriptional regulation. CONCLUSIONS We highlight for the first time how the modulation of ABCB1 expression by bacterial metabolites results in changes in TAC PK, affecting not only blood levels but also the inter-individual variability. More broadly, considering the high number of drugs with unexplained PK variability transported by ABCB1, our work is of clinical importance and paves the way for incorporating the gut microbiota in prediction algorithms for dosage of such drugs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although atorvastatin (ATV) is well-tolerated, patients may report muscle complaints. These are difficult to predict owing to high interindividual variability. Such side effects are linked to intramuscular accumulation of ATV. This study aimed to investigate the relative role of transporters expressed in muscle tissue in promoting or limiting drug access to cells. The impact of common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in SLCO2B1 coding for OATP2B1 and ABCC1 coding for MRP1 on ATV transport was also evaluated. METHODS HEK293 cells were stably transfected with plasmids containing cDNA encoding wild-type or variant SLCO2B1 and/or ABCC1 to generate single and double stable transfectant HEK293 recombinant models overexpressing variant or wild-type OATP2B1 (influx) and/or MRP1 (efflux) proteins. Variant plasmids were generated by site-directed mutagenesis. Expression analyses were performed to validate recombinant models. Accumulation and efflux experiments were performed at different concentrations. ATV was quantified by LC-MS/MS, and kinetic parameters were compared between single and double HEK transfectants expressing wild-type and variant proteins. RESULTS The results confirm the involvement of OATP2B1 and MRP1 in ATV cellular transport because it was demonstrated that intracellular accumulation of ATV was boosted by OATP2B1 overexpression, whereas ATV accumulation was decreased by MRP1 overexpression. In double transfectants, it was observed that increased ATV intracellular accumulation driven by OATP2B1 influx was partially counteracted by MRP1 efflux. The c.935G > A SNP in SLCO2B1 was associated with decreased ATV OATP2B1-mediated influx, whereas the c.2012G > T SNP in ABCC1 seemed to increase MRP1 efflux activity against ATV. CONCLUSIONS Intracellular ATV accumulation is regulated by OATP2B1 and MRP1 transporters, whose functionality is modulated by natural genetic variants. This is significant because it may play a role in ATV muscle side-effect susceptibility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The main cause for fluoropyrimidine-related toxicity is deficiency of the metabolizing enzyme dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD). In 2020, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) recommended two methods for pre-treatment DPD deficiency testing in clinical practice: phenotyping using endogenous uracil concentration or genotyping for DPYD risk variant alleles. This study assessed the DPD testing implementation status in Europe before (2019) and after (2021) the release of the EMA recommendations. METHODS The survey was conducted from 16 March 2022 to 31 July 2022. An electronic form with seven closed and three open questions was e-mailed to 251 professionals with DPD testing expertise of 34 European countries. A descriptive analysis was conducted. RESULTS We received 79 responses (31%) from 23 countries. Following publication of the EMA recommendations, 87% and 75% of the countries reported an increase in the amount of genotype and phenotype testing, respectively. Implementation of novel local guidelines was reported by 21 responders (27%). Countries reporting reimbursement of both tests increased in 2021, and only four (18%) countries reported no coverage for any testing type. In 2019, major implementation drivers were 'retrospective assessment of fluoropyrimidine-related toxicity' (39%), and in 2021, testing was driven by 'publication of guidelines' (40%). Although the major hurdles remained the same after EMA recommendations-'lack of reimbursement' (26%; 2019 versus 15%; 2021) and 'lack of recognizing the clinical relevance by medical oncologists' (25%; 2019 versus 8%; 2021)-the percentage of specialists citing these decreased. Following EMA recommendations, 25% of responders reported no hurdles at all in the adoption of the new testing practice in the clinics. CONCLUSIONS The EMA recommendations have supported the implementation of DPD deficiency testing in Europe. Key factors for successful implementation were test reimbursement and clear clinical guidelines. Further efforts to improve the oncologists' awareness of the clinical relevance of DPD testing in clinical practice are needed.

Abstract
A 53-year-old woman with a history of acute myeloid leukaemia received a second allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant and was prescribed, among other medications, acyclovir and letermovir (480-mg daily oral dose) for prophylaxis of, respectively, herpes simplex and cytomegalovirus infection. The patient was admitted in the intensive care unit for dyspnoea and oliguria. Laboratory investigations revealed acute kidney injury but also a severe and progressive lactic acidosis. Liver function tests were within normal range. The combination of lactic acidosis, hypoglycaemia and acylcarnitine profile in plasma raised the suspicion of mitochondrial toxicity. Letermovir therapy was interrupted, and determination of plasma letermovir pharmacokinetics revealed a prolonged terminal half-life (38.7 h) that was not significantly influenced by continuous venovenous haemofiltration. Exploration for genetic polymorphisms revealed that the patient was SLCO1B1*5/*15 (c.521T>C homozygous carrier and c.388A>G heterozygous carrier) with a predicted nonfunctional organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B1 protein. The relationship between letermovir accumulation and development of lactic acidosis requires further observations.

Abstract
AIMS Determining dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) activity by measuring patient's uracil (U) plasma concentration is mandatory before fluoropyrimidine (FP) administration in France. In this study, we aimed to refine the pre-analytical recommendations for determining U and dihydrouracil (UH2 ) concentrations, as they are essential in reliable DPD-deficiency testing. METHODS U and UH2 concentrations were collected from 14 hospital laboratories. Stability in whole blood and plasma after centrifugation, the type of anticoagulant and long-term plasma storage were evaluated. The variation induced by time and temperature was calculated and compared to an acceptability range of ±20%. Inter-occasion variability (IOV) of U and UH2 was assessed in 573 patients double sampled for DPD-deficiency testing. RESULTS Storage of blood samples before centrifugation at room temperature (RT) should not exceed 1 h, whereas cold (+4°C) storage maintains the stability of uracil after 5 hours. For patients correctly double sampled, IOV of U reached 22.4% for U (SD = 17.9%, range = 0-99%). Notably, 17% of them were assigned with a different phenotype (normal or DPD-deficient) based on the analysis of their two samples. For those having at least one non-compliant sample, this percentage increased up to 33.8%. The moment of blood collection did not affect the DPD phenotyping result. CONCLUSION Caution should be taken when interpreting U concentrations if the time before centrifugation exceeds 1 hour at RT, since it rises significantly afterwards. Not respecting the pre-analytical conditions for DPD phenotyping increases the risk of DPD status misclassification.

Abstract
Copper deficiency is an acquired condition that can lead to neurologic dysfunctions, such as myelopathy, motor neuron impairment, polyneuropathy, cognitive impairment, and optic nerve neuropathy. Associated biological findings are low serum copper and ceruloplasmin levels with low copper urinary excretion. We report the case of a previously healthy 59-year-old man who presented a complex neurological picture starting with symptoms and radiological signs consistent with degenerative myelopathy in the presence of persisting low serum copper and ceruloplasmin despite oral and intravenous copper supplementation. Over time, his symptoms evolved into a motor neuron disease evocating an amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) phenotype. The potential role of copper deficiency is discussed, together with the difficulties in biomonitoring copper supplementation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We report a case of acute respiratory distress associated with a histological pattern of acute fibrinous and organizing pneumonia, and discuss the possible responsibility of flecainide therapy. CASE PRESENTATION A 61-year-old African woman developed a rapidly progressive dyspnea and required admission in the intensive care unit for orotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation. Chest X-ray examination revealed bilateral infiltrates predominating in the basal part of both lungs. Lung computed tomography disclosed bilateral ground-glass opacities and septal thickening. After exclusion of the most common causes of infectious or immune pneumonia, a toxic origin was investigated and flecainide toxicity was considered. Lung biopsy was consistent with the unusual pattern of acute fibrinous and organizing pneumonia. Clinical and radiological improvement was noted after corticosteroid therapy, but the patient died from septic complications. CONCLUSION Flecainide-induced lung injury has rarely been reported in the literature and remains a diagnosis of exclusion. The histological pattern of acute fibrinous and organizing pneumonia has been previously observed with amiodarone. There are no firm guidelines for the treatment of acute fibrinous and organizing pneumonia, but some patients may positively respond to corticosteroids.

Abstract
Introduction The efficacy of nirmatrelvir-ritonavir (NR; Paxlovid, Pfizer, New York, NY) to decrease the risk of progression to severe COVID-19 in high-risk patients has been demonstrated. However, evidence in infected kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) is lacking. Moreover, NR has significant and potentially harmful interactions with calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs). Methods In this single-center retrospective study, we included all KTRs treated with NR from April 28 to June 3, 2022. A standard management strategy of CNI dose adaptation (discontinuation of tacrolimus 12 hours before the start of NR and administration of 20% of the cyclosporine dose) and laboratory follow-up was applied. Results A total of 14 patients were included. Compared with day-0 (day before NR initiation), day-7 plasma creatinine concentrations and SARS-CoV-2 viral loads were similar (P = 0.866) and decreased (P = 0.002), respectively. CNI trough concentrations at the end of the treatment were satisfactory, nonetheless, with high individual variability. After a median follow-up time of 34 days, no death or viral pneumonia were observed. Nevertheless, 2 patients experienced early SARS-CoV-2 infection relapses (at day-10 and day-21) associated with an increase in SARS-CoV-2 viral loads. Conclusion NR can be used in KTRs but requires a strict protocol of drug adaptation. We observed 2 cases of early relapse after NR treatment that need further investigations.

More than two years on, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to wreak havoc around the world and has battle-tested the pandemic-situation responses of all major global governments. Two key areas of investigation that are still unclear are: the molecular mechanisms that lead to heterogenic patient outcomes, and the causes of Post COVID condition (AKA Long-COVID). In this paper, we introduce the HYGIEIA project, designed to respond to the enormous challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic through a multi-omic approach supported by network medicine. It is hoped that in addition to investigating COVID-19, the logistics deployed within this project will be applicable to other infectious agents, pandemic-type situations, and also other complex, non-infectious diseases. Here, we first look at previous research into COVID-19 in the context of the proteome, metabolome, transcriptome, microbiome, host genome, and viral genome. We then discuss a proposed methodology for a large-scale multi-omic longitudinal study to investigate the aforementioned biological strata through high-throughput sequencing (HTS) and mass-spectrometry (MS) technologies. Lastly, we discuss how a network medicine approach can be used to analyze the data and make meaningful discoveries, with the final aim being the translation of these discoveries into the clinics to improve patient care.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Fluoropyrimidines such as 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU), capecitabine and tegafur are drugs that are often used in the treatment of maliginancies. The enzyme dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) is the first and rate limiting enzyme of 5-FU catabolism. Genetic variations within the DPYD gene (encoding for DPD protein) can lead to reduced or absent DPD activity. Treatment of DPD deficient patients with fluoropyrimidines can result in severe and, rarely, fatal toxicity. Screening for DPD deficiency should be implemented in practice. METHODS The available methods in routine to screen for DPD deficiency were analyzed and discussed in several group meetings involving members of the oncological, genetic and toxicological societies in Belgium: targeted genotyping based on the detection of 4 DPYD variants and phenotyping, through the measurement of uracil and dihydrouracil/uracil ratio in plasma samples. RESULTS The main advantage of targeted genotyping is the existence of prospectively validated genotype-based dosing guidelines. The main limitations of this approach are the relatively low sensitivity to detect total and partial DPD deficiency and the fact that this approach has only been validated in Caucasians so far. Phenotyping has a better sensitivity to detect total and partial DPD deficiency when performed in the correct analytical conditions and is not dependent on the ethnic origin of the patient. CONCLUSION In Belgium, we recommend phenotype or targeted genotype testing for DPD deficiency before starting 5-FU, capecitabine or tegafur. We strongly suggest a stepwise approach using phenotype testing upfront because of the higher sensitivity and the lower cost to society.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential clinical relevance of estimating the apparent clearance (CL/F) of atorvastatin through population pharmacokinetic (PopPK) modeling with samples collected in a real‐life setting in a cohort of ambulatory patients at risk of cardiovascular disease by using an opportunistic sampling strategy easily accessible in clinical routine. A total of 132 pharmacokinetic (PK) samples at a maximum of three visits were collected in the 70 included patients. The effects of demographic, genetic, and clinical covariates were also considered. With the collected data, we developed a two‐compartment PopPK model that allowed estimating atorvastatin CL/F relatively precisely and considering the genotype of the patient for SLCO1B1 c.521T>C single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). Our results indicate that the estimation of the CL/F of atorvastatin through our PopPK model might help in identifying patients at risk of myalgia. Indeed, we showed that a patient presenting a CL/F lower than 414.67 L h−1 is at risk of suffering from muscle discomfort. We also observed that the CL/F was correlated with the efficacy outcomes, suggesting that a higher CL/F is associated with a better drug efficacy (i.e., a greater decrease in total and LDL‐cholesterol levels). In conclusion, our study demonstrates that PopPK modeling can be useful in daily clinics to estimate a patient’ atorvastatin clearance. Notifying the clinician with this information can help in identifying patients at risk of myalgia and gives indication about the potential responsiveness to atorvastatin therapy.

Abstract
ABSTRACT When mycophenolic acid (MPA) was originally marketed for immunosuppressive therapy, fixed doses were recommended by the manufacturer. Awareness of the potential for a more personalized dosing has led to development of methods to estimate MPA area under the curve based on the measurement of drug concentrations in only a few samples. This approach is feasible in the clinical routine and has proven successful in terms of correlation with outcome. However, the search for superior correlates has continued, and numerous studies in search of biomarkers that could better predict the perfect dosage for the individual patient have been published. As it was considered timely for an updated and comprehensive presentation of consensus on the status for personalized treatment with MPA, this report was prepared following an initiative from members of the International Association of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring and Clinical Toxicology (IATDMCT). Topics included are the criteria for analytics, methods to estimate exposure including pharmacometrics, the potential influence of pharmacogenetics, development of biomarkers, and the practical aspects of implementation of target concentration intervention. For selected topics with sufficient evidence, such as the application of limited sampling strategies for MPA area under the curve, graded recommendations on target ranges are presented. To provide a comprehensive review, this report also includes updates on the status of potential biomarkers including those which may be promising but with a low level of evidence. In view of the fact that there are very few new immunosuppressive drugs under development for the transplant field, it is likely that MPA will continue to be prescribed on a large scale in the upcoming years. Discontinuation of therapy due to adverse effects is relatively common, increasing the risk for late rejections, which may contribute to graft loss. Therefore, the continued search for innovative methods to better personalize MPA dosage is warranted.

Abstract
CONTEXT The addition of silver (Ag) to food items, and its migration from food packaging and appliances results in a dietary exposure in humans, estimated to 70-90 µg Ag/day. In view of the well-known bactericidal activity of Ag ions, concerns arise about a possible impact of dietary Ag on the gut microbiota (GM), which is a master determinant of human health and diseases. Repeated oral administration of Ag acetate (AgAc) can also cause systemic toxicity in rats with reported NOAELs of 4 mg AgAc/b.w./d for impaired fertility and 0.4 mg AgAc/b.w./d for developmental toxicity. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate whether oral exposure to AgAc can induce GM alterations at doses causing reproductive toxicity in rats. METHODS Male and female Wistar rats were exposed during 10 weeks to AgAc incorporated into food (0, 0.4, 4 or 40 mg/kg b.w./d), and we analyzed the composition of the GM (α- and β-diversity). We documented bacterial function by measuring short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production in cecal content. Ferroxidase activity, a biomarker of systemic Ag toxicity, was measured in serum. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS From 4 mg/kg b.w./d onwards, we recorded systemic toxicity, as indicated by the reduction of serum ferroxidase activity, as well as serum Cu and Se concentrations. This systemic toxic response to AgAc might contribute to explain reprotoxic manifestations. We observed a dose-dependent modification of the GM composition in male rats exposed to AgAc. No impact of AgAc exposure on the production of bacterial SCFA was recorded. The limited GM changes recorded in this study do not appear related to a reprotoxicity outcome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Trace elements (TEs) from natural and anthropogenic sources are ubiquitous. Essential or not, their relevance for human health and disease is constantly expanding. Biological monitoring is a widely integrated tool in risk assessment both in occupational and environmental settings. However, the determination of appropriate and accurate reference values in the (specific) population is a prerequisite for a correct interpretation of biomonitoring data. This study aimed at determining the reference distribution for TEs (Al, As, Sb, Be, Bi, Cd, Co, Cu, Mn, Hg, Mo, Ni, Pb, Se, Tl, Sn, V, Zn) in the blood and/or plasma of the adult population in Belgium. METHODS Blood and plasma samples were analyzed for 178 males and 202 females, recruited according to an a priori selection procedure, by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). RESULTS Reference values were established with high confidence for AsT, Cd, Cu, HgT, Mn, Mo, Pb, Sn, Se, Tl and Zn. Compared to previously published data in the Belgian population, a decreasing time trend is observed for Zn, Cd and Pb. Globally, the results also indicate that the current exposure levels to TEs in the Belgian population are similar to those from other recent national surveys. CONCLUSIONS These reference values and limits obtained through validated analytical and statistical methods will be useful for future occupational and/or environmental surveys. They will contribute to decision-making concerning both public health policies but also exposure assessments on an individual scale.

Abstract
Background: Thousands of artisanal workers are exposed to mineral dusts from various origins in the African Copperbelt. We determined the prevalence of respiratory symptoms, pulmonary function, and urinary metals among artisanal stone-crushers in Lubumbashi. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 48 male artisanal stone-crushers and 50 male taxi-drivers using a standardized questionnaire and spirometry. Concentrations of trace metals were measured by Inductively Coupled - Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) in urine spot samples. Results: Urinary Co, Ni, As, and Se were higher in stone-crushers than in control participants. Wheezing was more prevalent (p = 0.021) among stone-crushers (23%) than among taxi-drivers (6%). In multiple logistic regression analysis, the job of a stone-crusher was associated to wheezing (adjusted Odds Ratio 4.45, 95% Confidence Interval 1.09–18.24). Stone-crushers had higher values (% predicted) than taxi-drivers for Forced Vital Capacity (105.4 ± 15.9 vs. 92.2 ± 17.8, p = 0.048), Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (104.4 ± 13.7 vs. 88.0 ± 19.6, p = 0.052), and Maximum Expiratory Flow at 25% of the Forced Vital Capacity (79.0.1 ± 20.7 vs. 55.7 ± 30.1, p = 0.078). Conclusion: Stone-crushers were more heavily exposed to mineral dust and various trace elements than taxi-drivers, and they had a fourfold increased risk of reporting wheezing, but they did not have evidence of more respiratory impairment than taxi-drivers.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In kidney transplantation, tacrolimus (TAC) is at the cornerstone of current immunosuppressive strategies. Though because of its narrow therapeutic index, it is critical to ensure that TAC levels are maintained within this sharp window through reactive adjustments. This would allow maximizing efficiency while limiting drug-associated toxicity. However, TAC high intra- and inter-patient pharmacokinetic (PK) variability makes it more laborious to accurately predict the appropriate dosage required for a given patient. AREAS COVERED This review summarizes the state-of-the-art knowledge regarding drug interactions, demographic and pharmacogenetics factors as predictors of TAC PK. We provide a scoring index for each association to grade its relevance and we present practical recommendations, when possible for clinical practice. EXPERT OPINION The management of TAC concentration in transplanted kidney patients is as critical as it is challenging. Recommendations based on rigorous scientific evidences are lacking as knowledge of potential predictors remains limited outside of DDIs. Awareness of these limitations should pave the way for studies looking at demographic and pharmacogenetic factors as well as gut microbiota composition in order to promote tailored treatment plans. Therapeutic approaches considering patients' clinical singularities may help allowing to maintain appropriate concentration of TAC.

Abstract
In the last decade, our knowledge about OTC drug intoxication has been expanded much further relative to previous years, though the absence of antidotes in some cases results in healthcare professionals using symptomatic treatment. This case report reminds the reader of the importance of clinical and toxicology laboratories in the management of acute salicylate intoxication in order to avoid hemodialysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Urinary lead (Pb) is generally considered to have limited use in biomonitoring environmental exposure to lead. Carbon load in airway macrophages (AM BC) is an internal marker to assess long-term exposure to combustion-derived aerosol particles. In urban environments, atmospheric Pb and black carbon may have common sources. We aimed to study the temporal change of urinary Pb (U-Pb) when exposure to outdoor air pollution changes, and the relationship between U-Pb and AM BC. METHODS A panel of 50 young healthy adults [mean (SD) 26.7 (5.2) years], including 17 long-term (>1 year) residents in Leuven, Belgium (BE), 15 and 18 newcomers (arrived <3 weeks) from low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) and high-income countries (HIC), respectively, underwent 8 repeated measurements at 6 weeks intervals. In urine spot samples obtained at 5 time points (T1, T2, T4, T6, T8), 24 trace elements were quantified by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. At each time point, AM BC was quantified as the median surface of black inclusions (in μm2) by means of image analysis of 25 macrophages obtained by induced sputum. Changes in urinary metal concentrations (with and without creatinine correction) and the relationship between U-Pb and AM BC were estimated using linear mixed models adjusted for covariates and potential confounders. RESULTS Only U-Pb differed between groups and exhibited significant time trends. Participants from the LMIC group had significantly higher initial U-Pb (1.18 μg/g creat) than the HIC group (0.44 μg/g creat) and BE group (0.45 μg/g creat). In the LMIC group, U-Pb decreased significantly with time by 0.061 μg/g creatinine per 30 days [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.034, 0.088]. U-Pb remained unchanged in the other two groups. An increase in AM BC of 1 μm2 was associated with an increase in U-Pb of 0.369 μg/g creat (95% CI: 0.145, 0.593). CONCLUSION This panel study demonstrates that U-Pb may be a valid alternative to blood Pb for biomonitoring changes in exposure to lead, at least at group level. In addition, we identified a positive association between U-Pb and AM BC, a biomarker of exposure to traffic-related air pollution, suggesting the existence of common sources of Pb and black carbon in urban environments.

Abstract
Blood lead levels (BLLs) have been falling steadily worldwide due to restricted use of lead (Pb) and its compounds. although they remain above preindustrial Pb levels. Elevated BLL can still be found in children living near secondary Pb smelters that represent around 50% of Pb production. There have been no studies on Pb exposure in children living in Serbia ever since the 1980s. The aim of this study was to evaluate the BLLs in children living in two villages in Serbia (Zajača, the location of a secondary lead smelter, and Paskovac, 5 km away), identify the primary determinants of children's BLLs, and investigate the impact of BLLs on children's health symptoms and school achievement. The study was conducted in 2011 on 127 children, aged 1-18 years, whose BLLs were measured using inductively coupled argon plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The median BLL in children was 12 μg/dl, with a significantly higher value of 17.5 μg/dl in Zajača, compared to 7.6 μg/dl in Paskovac. Only 1 out of 75 and 12 out of 52 children from Zajača and Paskovac, respectively, had BLLs below the CDC recommended 5 μg/dl level. Living near the smelter resulted in 19 times, and having a father who works in the plant 4 times higher odds of elevated BLLs. No significant effects of elevated BLLs health symptoms were seen in this study. BLLs of children living near a battery recycling plant in Serbia, an upper-middle income European country, were in the range and even higher than those of children living in developing countries. For the first time, the contribution of environmental and take-home lead exposure was quantified using mixed-effect modeling, and our results indicate a contribution of 25-40% of the take-home lead exposure to the BLLs of children living in the vicinity of a secondary lead smelter.

Abstract
Among parturient women in Lubumbashi, blood lead concentrations [geometric means (25th-75th percentiles)] were higher among 40 women with preeclampsia [6.66 µg/dL (5.16-79.4)] than among 39 control women matched for age and gestation duration [5.08 µg/dL (4.27-6.30)]. Blood lead exceeded 5 µg/dL in 33 (83%) preeclamptic women and 17 (44%) control women [odds ratio 6.1 (95%CI 2.1-17.1)]. In another study, we found high levels of lead in surface dust collected in front of homes in Lubumbashi (36/127 samples exceeding 120 µg lead/g dust). Our findings support the conclusions of a systematic review that increased blood lead level increases the likelihood of preeclampsia. Moreover, our study indicates that, as in other urban areas in Africa, exposure to lead is unacceptably high among pregnant women in Lubumbashi. Preventive measures are needed to protect mothers and children from the serious adverse effects of lead exposure.

Abstract
The sustainability of cobalt is an important emerging issue because this critical base metal is an essential component of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles. More than half the world's cobalt mine production comes from the Katanga Copperbelt in DR Congo, with a substantial proportion (estimated at 15-20%) being extracted by artisanal miners. Here we show, in a case study performed in the town of Kolwezi, that people living in a neighbourhood that had been transformed into an artisanal cobalt mine, had much higher levels of cobalt in urine and blood than people living in a nearby control area. The differences were most pronounced for children, in whom we also found evidence of exposure-related oxidative DNA damage. It was already known that industrial mining and processing of metals have led to severe environmental pollution in the region. This field study provides novel and robust empirical evidence that the artisanal extraction of cobalt that prevails in the DR Congo may cause toxic harm to vulnerable communities. This strengthens the conclusion that the currently existing cobalt supply chain is not sustainable.

Abstract
Direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) are substrates for the ABCB1 transporter (also called P-glycoprotein), an active efflux pump. ABCB1 polymorphisms have been previously reported to influence the pharmacokinetics of several drugs such as immunosuppressants and tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Recently, in vivo studies have suggested that genetic variants might contribute to the inter-individual variability in DOAC plasma concentrations. Therefore, we evaluated the in vitro effect of the most common coding ABCB1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP), 1236 C > T-2677G > T-3435C > T, and the coding ABCB1 1199 G > A SNP on the transport activity towards rivaroxaban. HEK293 cells were transfected to overexpress the ABCB1 wild-type (1236C-2677G-3435C, 1199 G) or variant proteins (1236C-2677G-3435T, 1236T-2677T-3435T or 1199 A). ABCB1 expression decreased the intracellular accumulation of rivaroxaban, when compared to control cells. This confirms the involvement of ABCB1 in the active transport of rivaroxaban. However, the ABCB1 1236 C > T-2677G > T-3435C > T and 1199 G > A SNPs had no significant influence on the intracellular accumulation of rivaroxaban when compared to the wild-type protein. These results suggest that the ABCB1 coding SNPs investigated in the present study are unlikely to contribute to the inter-individual variability in rivaroxaban plasma concentrations.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Several antiretroviral drugs used to treat infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are substrates of enzymes belonging to the cytochrome P450 (CYP) superfamily, which are polymorphically expressed. It may therefore be useful to take into account the genetic variation in these enzymes to predict the likelihood of anti-HIV treatment success, toxicity and the potential for drug-drug interactions. Areas covered: In this manuscript, the authors discuss the current state of knowledge regarding pharmacogenetic associations between CYP and all major antiretrovirals, as well as the importance of these associations. Expert opinion: While many pharmacogenetic associations for CYP have been described in the literature, replication studies are sometimes lacking. The implementation of this knowledge in clinical practice also remains difficult. Further efforts are required both to expand this field of knowledge and to enable its use in everyday clinical practice.

Abstract
Background Lead (Pb) exposure in shooting ranges has been reduced by various measures such as jacketed ammunition and lead-free primers. Nevertheless, this may lead to exposure to other metals, potentially resulting in adverse health effects. Methods In a cross-sectional study, 35 subjects from seven different shooting ranges were studied: four shooting instructors, 10 police officers, 15 Special Forces, and six maintenance staff members. Metals and metalloids were determined in blood and urine by inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry. Results The concentrations of most elements did not differ significantly between groups or compared to reference values, except for Sb and Pt in urine and Pb in blood. Mean values for Sb were considerably higher in urine from the Special Forces (0.34 μg/L), the maintenance staff (0.13 μg/L), and shooting instructors (0.32 μg/L) compared to the police officers before shooting (0.06 μg/L) and a Belgian reference value (0.04 μg/L). For Pt, the Special Forces showed higher mean urinary concentrations (0.078 μg/L) compared to a Belgian reference value (<0.061 μg/L). Mean values for blood lead were markedly higher in the Special Forces (3.9 μg/dL), maintenance staff (5.7 μg/dL), and instructors (11.7 μg/dL) compared to police officers (1.4 μg/dL). One instructor exceeded the biological exposure index for blood Pb (38.8 μg/dL). Conclusion Since both Pb and Sb were found to be higher in shooting range employees, especially among frequent shooters, it is advisable to provide appropriate protective equipment, education, and medical follow-up for shooting range personnel in addition to careful choice of ammunition.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of UGT1A1 polymorphisms on Raltegravir (RAL) and its metabolite RAL-glucuronide trough plasma concentrations ([RAL]plasma and [RAL-glu]plasma) and on the metabolic ratio (MR): [RAL-glu]plasma/[RAL]plasma. UGT1A1 genotyping was performed on 96 patients. 44% (n = 42) were homozygous UGT1A1*1/*1 while 50% (n = 48) and 6% (n = 6) were UGT1A1*28 and UGT1A1*36 carriers, respectively. The median concentration and interquartile range (IQR) of [RAL]plasma were 88.5 ng/ml (41.0-236), 168 ng/ml (85.8-318) and 92.5 ng/ml (36.4-316) for UGT1A1*1/*1, UGT1A1*28 and UGT1A1*36 carriers, respectively. Only the difference between UGT1A1*1/*1 and *28 carriers was statistically significant (p = 0.022). The median MR (IQR) were 5.8 (3-10), 2.9 (1.6-5.3) and 3.2 (1.7-5.9) for UGT1A1*1/*1, UGT1A1*28 and UGT1A1*36 carriers, respectively. Only the difference between UGT1A1*1/*1 and *28 carriers was statistically significant (p = 0.004) with an allele-dependent effect: UGT1A1*28 homozygous having lower MR than heterozygous carriers who show lower MR compared to *1/*1. Except for the sensation of fatigue, this PK effect did not correlate with clinical adverse events or biological abnormalities. In Conclusion, we demonstrate that UGT1A1*28 polymorphism has a significant impact on RAL metabolism: UGT1A1*28 carriers being characterized by higher [RAL]plasma and lower MR.

Abstract
Aim: To test the relevance of revisiting the genotype classification based on CYP3A5*3 solely by incorporating CYP3A4*22 information. Methods: Discriminant analysis of principal component was performed to evaluate the relevance of either the CYP3A (CYP3A5 + CYP3A4 genotypes) or CYP3A5*3 classification variables. This analysis was based on a linear combination of noncompartmental pharmacokinetics parameters. Results: Discriminant analysis of principal component gave better results with CYP3A compared with CYP3A5*3 clustering. The centroid means of the pharmacokinetics variables were significantly different with CYP3A genotype clustering (p = 0.04) but not with CYP3A5*3 solely (p = 0.06). Canonical plots reveal a better delimitation of clusters with CYP3A genotype compared with CYP3A5*3 and the reciever operating characteristic curves confirm this better discriminative power. Conclusion: We provide strong arguments of incorporating CYP3A4*22 genotype in practice to fine-tune the existing Clinical Phamacogenetics Implementation Consortium guidelines in the Caucasian population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies in children have reported associations of urinary cadmium (U-Cd), used as biomarker of Cd body burden, with renal dysfunction, retarded growth and impaired cognitive development in children. Little is known, however, about factors influencing U-Cd in children and likely to act as confounders. METHODS In a cross-sectional study involving 249 schoolchildren (mean age, 5.72 years; 138 boys), we measured the urine concentrations of cadmium, zinc, lead, albumin, alpha1-microglobulin (A1M), retinol-binding protein, β2-microglobulin and club cell protein (CC16). Determinants of U-Cd expressed per creatinine or adjusted to specific gravity were identified by multiple regression analyses. RESULTS Girls and boys had similar median concentrations of U-Cd (0.22 and 0.24 μg/L, 0.33 and 0.35 μg/g creatinine, respectively). When models were run without including creatinine or specific gravity among independent variables, urinary zinc, urinary A1M and age emerged as the strongest predictors of U-Cd expressed per g creatinine or adjusted to SG. When adding creatinine among predictors, urinary creatinine emerged as an additional strong predictor correlating negatively with U-Cd per g creatinine. This strong residual influence of diuresis, not seen when adding specific gravity among predictors, linked U-Cd to U-A1M or U-CC16 through secondary associations mimicking those induced by Cd nephrotoxity. CONCLUSIONS In young children U-Cd largely varies with diuresis, zinc metabolism and urinary A1M. These physiological determinants, unrelated to Cd body burden, may confound the child renal and developmental outcomes associated with low-level U-Cd.
