Objective To summarize the research progress in antitumor mechanism of non-steroidal anti-inflam-matory drugs. Methods The domestic and international published literatures about antitumor mechanism of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in recent years were reviewed. Results The antitumor mechanism of non-steroidal anti-inflam-matory drugs was multistrata and multidigit. Conclusion Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be used to prevent the development of colorectal cancer and also be a adjuvant therapy after radical operation for colorectal cancer.
Objective To improve the knowledge of epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of aspirin induced asthma ( AIA) in China. Methods Thirty-six cases with AIA who were reported in 30 papers in recent 10 years were analyzed retrospectively. Results The drugs which induced AIA in China mainly included acetylsalicylic acid ( aspirin) , ibuprofen ( Fenbid, ibuprofen) , while acetaminophen ( paracetamol,Bufferin, Tylenol ) , phenylpropanoid thiazide ( Piroxicam) , methoxy-naphthalene C acid ( naproxen) ,diclofenac in rare cases. 28. 6% ( 8 /28) of AIA patients were complicated with nasal disease . AIA could occur at all ages, especially for those over 40 years ( 72. 2% , 26 /36) . No significant difference of prevalencein male and female. The onset time of AIA was less than 60min in 71. 4% and gt;120min in 38. 6% . Most patients took the medications by oral ( 83. 3% ,30/36) , but the AIA onset time was not different by different administration route. Conclusions The incidence of AIA increases in recent years because of widely use of NSAIDs. However, no awareness of NSAIDs induced asthma is common in patients and physicians. For asthma patients it must be caution to take antipyretic analgesic anti-inflammatory drugs. If necessary,methoxy-naphthalene C acid ( naproxen) and diclofenac could be better choice.
ObjectiveTo compare the effect of bromfenac sodium hydrate ophthalmic solution and fluorometholone following sub-bowmans keratomileusis (SBK) from the aspects of subjective visual perception, ophthalmic signs and intraocular pressure. MethodsFifty myopic patients (94 eyes) who underwent SBK from April to May 2013 were divided into two groups according to the different postoperative drug treatment. Patients in group A were treated with bromfenac sodium hydrate (51 eyes), and patients in group B were treated with fluorometholone (43 eyes). To compare the effects of two kinds of drugs after SBK, results of the routine examination were recorded including uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), refractive status, visual symptoms and signs, intraocular pressure (IOP) and Haze under Corneal Epithelium (HAZE) on pre-operational and postoperative day 1, 7, and 30. ResultsOn the 30th day, IOP in group A and group B were (9.88±2.34) mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa) and (11.00±2.27) mm Hg, respectively, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05), but there were no statistically significant differences at other time points. There was no statistically significant difference in UCVA, refractive status, visual symptoms and signs, and corneal epithelial staining between the two groups (on day 1, 7, and 30). ConclusionBromfenac sodium and fluorometholone have the same effect in the control of postoperative visual acuity and ophthalmic inflammation. Bromfenac sodium has greater advantages in IOP control. Therefore, bromfenac sodium can substitute fluorometholone in resisting inflammation after SBK.
ObjectiveTo observe the efficacy and safety of etofenamate gel (foscavir+tramadoli hydrochloridum+gabapentin) in the treatment of acute herpes zoster. MethodsForty patients with acute herpes zoster neuralgia treated between January 2013 and June 2014 were randomly divided into two groups:control group and treatment group, with 20 in each. The patients had a visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score of seven or higher. Patients in the control group accepted conventional treatment, while those in the treatment group were treated with conventional treatment combined with etofenamate gel. Two weeks after treatment, VAS score, quality of life and sleep score, and the degree of improvement in skin paresthesia were evaluated and compared between the two groups. ResultsThe VAS score decreased significantly in both the two groups after treatment (P < 0.05), and the decrease in the treatment group was significantly more obvious (P < 0.05). The quality of life, sleep score and the degree of improvement in skin paresthesia were ameliorated significantly after treatment (P < 0.05), and the amelioration in the treatment group was significantly greater (P < 0.05). ConclusionThe early application of Ordofen can strengthen analgesia effect of the conventional treatment, improve the quality of life and sleep, and reduce skin paresthesia.
