The aim of this study was to evaluate the biocompatibility of composites of poly-lactic acid polymer (PLA) and copolymer of lactic and glycolic acid (PLGA), dispersed in a bioceramic matrix, Osteosynt (BC), to which tetracycline (TC) was added. The in vitro test used direct contact test (ASTM F-813)
Many advances have improved the care of critically ill patients, but only a few have been through the use of pharmaceutical agents. Recently, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drotrecogin alfa (activated), or recombinant human activated protein C, for the treatment of patients with
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including aspirin, have been associated with the damage to the gastrointestinal tract. One proposed mechanism of injury to the gastrointestinal mucosa by NSAIDs is oxygen radical-dependent microvascular injury. There is reasonable evidence to support
Curvularia sp. IFB-Z10, a white croaker-associated fungus, generates a skeletally unprecedented indolizine alkaloid named curindolizine (1), which displays an anti-inflammatory action in lipopolyssacharide (LPS)-induced RAW 264.7 macrophages with an IC50 value of 5.31 ± 0.21 μM. The enzymatic
OBJECTIVE
Infertility after murine chlamydial salpingitis can be prevented by tetracycline treatment given before or at the time of infection. This study evaluates the efficacy and timing of tetracycline treatment and anti-inflammatory agents in the prevention of inflammation and subsequent
Microbial stimulation of lymphocytes of patients suffering from meningococcus infection increased primarily under the effect of antiphlogistic preparations in vitro; more rarely it was inhibited. In experiments with lymphocytes of the patients this increase was more than 5-fold, and with those of
In 1989, Larsen et al. at Merck discovered that the addition of chiral alcohols to ketenes provided enantiomerically enriched aryl propionic acids, compounds valued for their therapeutic antiinflammatory properties. The high 1,4-asymmetric induction observed (>99:1 dr in the addition, and up to 99%
OBJECTIVE
Resveratrol has been shown to exert anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, while sodium alginate is a common pharmaceutic adjuvant with antioxidative and immunomodulatory properties. We performed an animal study to investigate the effect of sodium alginate addition to resveratrol on
BACKGROUND
Adiponectin is an adipose tissue-derived anti-inflammatory protein that is down-regulated in obesity. The effects of caloric restriction and exercise-induced weight loss on adiponectin are not clear.
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether addition of aerobic exercise training to caloric
Hypercholesterolemia initiates the atherogenic process; however, chronic inflammation promotes atherogenesis. Monascus spp. fermented products are recognized for their anti-hypercholesterolemic effect, but their anti-inflammatory activity is not as significant as that of many plant-derived foods. To
BACKGROUND
Statins have been studied in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) but the history, pharmacology, and studies have not been reviewed recently.
METHODS
The development of statins as well as their biological effects and pharmacology are reviewed. Recent clinical studies in
Fiber intake is associated with a reduction in the occurrence of cardiovascular events and diabetes.
To investigate whether the addition of fiber to a high-fat, high-calorie (HFHC) meal prevents proinflammatory changes induced by the HFHC meal.
Ten normal fasting subjects consumed an HFHC meal with
BACKGROUND
Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and long-acting beta-2 agonists (LABA) are thought to enhance the pharmacologic action of one another by a synergistic effect.
OBJECTIVE
We compared a group of patients who used ICS monotherapy with a group treated with ICS/LABA combination and evaluated the
An anomalous Ullman reaction with 2-chloronicotinic acid is described. The resulting product 2',6'-di-methyl-anilide of 2-pyridone-3-carboxylic acid (isonixine) presents very interesting pharmacological properties as a potential analgesic-anti-inflammatory agent. Chemical and pharmacological data
