Conventional alginate pellets underwent rapid drug dissolution and failed to exert colon targeting unless subjected to complex coating. This study designed coatless delayed-release oral colon-specific alginate pellets for ulcerative colitis treatment. Alginate pellets, formulated with
Tendon adhesion is acknowledged to be a function of both an overwhelming inflammatory response at the surgical site and the loss of physical separation that is normally present between the tendons and the synovial sheath. Adhesions bind the flexor tendons to each other and to surrounding structures,
The use of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)-based bone cement is popular in orthopedics for the fixation of artificial joints with bone. However, it has a major problem with prostheses loosening because of coverage by fibrous tissue after long-term implantation. Recently, a bioactive bone cement has
Cissus gum has been employed as polymer with sodium alginate in the formulation of diclofenac microbeads and the in vivo mucoprotective properties of the polymer in anti-inflammatory therapy assessed in rats with carrageenan-induced paw edema in comparison to diclofenac powder and commercial
BACKGROUND
Patients affected by end-stage renal disease (ESRD) demonstrate a very high cardiovascular risk mediated by traditional cardiovascular risk factors as well as abnormal mineral metabolism and a state of chronic inflammation. Sevelamer is a nonabsorbable non-calcium-based hydrogel with
It has been suggested that phosphate binders may reduce the inflammatory state of hemodialysis (HD) patients. However, it is not clear whether it has any effect on oxidative stress. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of sevelamer hydrochloride (SH) and calcium acetate (CA) on
BACKGROUND
Phosphate binders are the cornerstone of hyperphosphatemia management in dialysis patients. Ferric citrate is an iron-based oral phosphate binder that effectively lowers serum phosphorus levels.
METHODS
52-week, open-label, phase 3, randomized, controlled trial for safety-profile
OBJECTIVE
Hyperphosphatemia and subclinical endotoxemia are important sources of inflammation in HD. Proinflammatory cytokines are strong correlates of soluble CD14 (sCD14) concentrations, an independent predictor of mortality in this population. We evaluated the effects of calcium acetate and
Bioresorbable bone graft substitutes may significantly reduce the disadvantages associated with autografts, allografts and other synthetic materials currently used in bone graft procedures. We investigated the biocompatibility and osteointegration of a bioresorbable bone graft substitute made from
Hyperphosphatemia is a common and well-described complication of end-stage renal disease. Despite strict dietary constraints and compliance, phosphate binders such as calcium acetate and/or sevelamer carbonate are also needed to treat secondary hyperparathyroidism. This case vignette describes an
Bioresorbable bone graft substitutes could eliminate disadvantages associated with the use of autografts, allografts and other synthetic materials. We investigated a bioresorbable bone graft substitute made from the unsaturated polyester poly(propylene fumarate) which is crosslinked in the presence
In the present study, RGD peptide was coupled with ferulic acid (FA) liposomes for binding to monocytes and neutrophils in peripheral blood for brain targeting in response to leukocyte recruitment. Cholesterol (Ch) was esterified with succinic anhydride to introduce a carboxylic end group (Ch-COOH).
Introduction: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional bowel disease that is common in society, does not threaten life, impairs quality of life, and causes serious economic losses. Gastrointestinal system complaints and especially IBS are common in patients
Dietary restriction of phosphorus and current dialysis prescription are unable to maintain phosphorus levels within the recommended range (2.7-5.5 mg/dl) in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). Therefore, phosphate binders that limit the absorption of dietary phosphorus are commonly
Liposomes have been one of the most exploited drug delivery systems in recent decades. However, their large-scale production with low batch-to-batch differences is a challenge for industry, which ultimately delays the clinical translation of new products. We have investigated the effects of
