Ketoprofen (KET), as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug frequently detected in aqueous environments, is a threat to human health due to its accumulation and low biodegradability, which requires the transformation and degradation of KET in aqueous environments. In this paper, the reaction process of ozone-initiated KET degradation in water was investigated using density functional theory (DFT) method at the M06-2X/6-311++g(3df,2p)//M06-2X/6-31+g(d,p) level. The detailed reaction path of KET ozonation is proposed. The thermodynamic results show that ozone-initiated KET degradation is feasible. Under ultraviolet irradiation, the reaction of ozone with water can also produce OH radicals (HO·) that can react with KET. The degradation reaction of KET caused by HO· was further studied. The kinetic calculation illustrates that the reaction rate (1.99 × 10-1 (mol/L)-1 sec-1) of KET ozonation is relatively slow, but the reaction rate of HO· reaction is relatively high, which can further improve the degradation efficiency. On this basis, the effects of pollutant concentration, ozone concentration, natural organic matter, and pH value on degradation efficiency under UV/O3 process were analyzed. The ozonolysis reaction of KET is not sensitive to pH and is basically unaffected. Finally, the toxicity prediction of oxidation compounds produced by degradation reaction indicates that most of the degradation products are harmless, and a few products containing benzene rings are still toxic and have to be concerned. This study serves as a theoretical basis for analyzing the migration and transformation process of anti-inflammatory compounds in the water environment.

Psoriatic disease, encompassing both psoriasis (Pso) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA), is closely intertwined with a significantly elevated risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. This connection is further compounded by a higher prevalence of cardiometabolic comorbidities, including type 2 diabetes, obesity, insulin resistance, arterial hypertension, and dysregulated lipid profiles. These comorbidities exceed the rates seen in the general population and compound the potential for increased mortality among those living with this condition. Recognizing the heightened cardiometabolic risk inherent in psoriatic disease necessitates a fundamental shift in the treatment paradigm. It is no longer sufficient to focus solely on mitigating inflammation. Instead, there is an urgent need to address and effectively manage the metabolic parameters that have a substantial impact on cardiovascular health. Within this context, apremilast emerges as a pivotal treatment option for psoriatic disease. What sets apremilast apart is its dual-action potential, addressing not only inflammation but also the critical metabolic parameters. This comprehensive treatment approach opens up new opportunities to improve the well-being of people living with psoriatic disease. This review delves into the multifaceted aspects involved in the development of cardiovascular disease and its intricate association with psoriatic disease. We then provide an in-depth exploration of the pleiotropic effects of apremilast, highlighting its potential to simultaneously mitigate metabolic complications and inflammation in individuals affected by these conditions.

BACKGROUND: Metamizole is banned in some countries because of its toxicity, although it is widely used in some European countries. In addition, there is limited information on its safety profile, and it is still debated whether it is toxic to the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and stomach. AIMS: Our study investigated the effects of metamizole on the heart, lung, liver, kidney, and stomach tissues of rats. METHODS: Eighteen rats were divided into three groups, wassix healthy (HG), 500 mg/kg metamizole (MT-500), and 1000 mg/kg metamizole (MT-1000). Metamizole was administered orally twice daily for 14 days. Meanwhile, the HG group received pure water orally. Biochemical, histopathologic, and macroscopic examinations were performed on blood samples and tissues. RESULTS: Malondialdehyde (MDA), total glutathione (tGSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT) in the lung and gastric tissues of MT-500 and MT-1000 groups were almost the same as those of the HG (p > 0.05). However, MDA levels in the heart and liver tissues of MT-500 and MT-1000 groups were higher (p < 0.05) compared to the HG, while tGSH levels and SOD, and CAT activities were lower (p < 0.05). MDA levels of MT-500 and MT-1000 groups in the kidney tissue increased the most (p < 0.001), and tGSH levels and SOD and CAT activities decreased the most (p < 0.001) compared to HG. Metamizole did not cause oxidative damage in the lung and gastric tissue. While metamizole did not change troponin levels, it significantly increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and creatinine levels compared to HG. Histopathologically, mild damage was detected in heart tissue, moderate damage in liver tissue, and severe damage in renal tissue. However, no histopathologic damage was found in any groups' lung and gastric tissues. CONCLUSION: Metamizole should be used under strict control in patients with cardiac and liver diseases and it would be more appropriate not to use it in patients with renal disease.

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to understand profiles of topical Voltaren gel diclofenac (VGD) 2.32 and 1.16% consumers through analyzing prescription patterns and to characterize treatment satisfaction, functional impairment, and pain relief after over-the-counter (OTC) VGD use in Sweden under real-world conditions. METHODS: This observational, real-world study conducted in Sweden had retrospective and prospective segments. The retrospective secondary data segment utilized 12-month diclofenac gel prescription data from the Swedish eHealth Agency (E-hälsomyndigheten). The prospective segment included electronic surveys completed at baseline and weeks 4 and 12 by adult consumers who purchased OTC VGD to treat their pain. RESULTS: Secondary data analyses (n = 12,145) showed that 56.7% of patients receiving diclofenac gel were females ≥70 years old. Most patients did not switch pain treatments; the mean time between diclofenac gel refills was about 2.5 months. From the surveys (n = 264), VGD provided pain relief, indicated by improvement in 11-point pain numeric rating scale scores. Average pain severity at baseline was 5.8 - improving by a mean of 1.3 and 1.9 points at weeks 4 and 12, respectively. The majority of consumers reported improvement in daily functioning (i.e., health-related quality of life [HRQoL]), and most were at least somewhat satisfied with VGD treatment results. CONCLUSIONS: This real-world study provides important insights into the prescription patterns of diclofenac gel and the consumer experience with OTC VGD in Sweden. Patients rarely switched to other topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and VGD consumers reported pain relief and improved HRQoL compared to baseline - resulting in treatment satisfaction.

While neurosurgical interventions are frequently used in laboratory mice, refinement efforts to optimize analgesic management based on multimodal approaches appear to be rather limited. Therefore, we compared the efficacy and tolerability of combinations of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug carprofen, a sustained-release formulation of the opioid buprenorphine, and the local anesthetic bupivacaine with carprofen monotherapy. Female and male C57BL/6J mice were subjected to isoflurane anesthesia and an intracranial electrode implant procedure. Given the multidimensional nature of postsurgical pain and distress, various physiological, behavioral, and biochemical parameters were applied for their assessment. The analysis revealed alterations in Neuro scores, home cage locomotion, body weight, nest building, mouse grimace scales, and fecal corticosterone metabolites. A composite measure scheme allowed the allocation of individual mice to severity classes. The comparison between groups failed to indicate the superiority of multimodal regimens over high-dose NSAID monotherapy. In conclusion, our findings confirmed the informative value of various parameters for assessment of pain and distress following neurosurgical procedures in mice. While all drug regimens were well tolerated in control mice, our data suggest that the total drug load should be carefully considered for perioperative management. Future studies would be of interest to assess potential synergies of drug combinations with lower doses of carprofen.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease commonly seen in middle-aged and elderly people. Multiple cytokines are involved in the local tissue damage in OA. Currently, non-pharmacologic and surgical interventions are the main conventional approaches for the treatment of OA. In terms of pharmaceutical drug therapy, NSAIDs and acetaminophen are mainly used to treat OA. However, it is prone to various adverse reactions such as digestive tract ulcer, thromboembolism, prosthesis loosening, nerve injury and so on. With the in-depth study of OA, more and more novel topical drug delivery strategies and vehicles have been developed, which can make up for the shortcomings of traditional dosage forms, improve the bioavailability of drugs, and significantly reduce drug side effects. This review summarizes the immunopathogenesis, treatment guidelines, and progress and challenges of topical delivery technologies of OA, with some perspectives on the future pharmacological treatment of OA proposed.

Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic acid, ASA), one of the widely used non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs can easily end up in sewage effluents and thus it becomes necessary to investigate the effects of aspirin on behaviour of aquatic organisms. Previous studies in mammals have shown ASA to alter fear and anxiety-like behaviours. In the great pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis, ASA has been shown to block a 'sickness state' induced by lipopolysaccharide injection which upregulates immune and stress-related genes thus altering behavioural responses. In Lymnaea, eliciting physiological stress may enhance memory formation or block its retrieval depending on the stimulus type and intensity. Here we examine whether ASA will alter two forms of associative-learning memory in crayfish predator-experienced Lymnaea when ASA exposure accompanies predator-cue-induced stress during the learning procedure. The two trainings procedures are: 1) operant conditioning of aerial respiration; and 2) a higher form of learning, called configural learning, which here is dependent on evoking a fear response. We show here that ASA alone does not alter homeostatic aerial respiration, feeding behaviour or long-term memory (LTM) formation of operantly conditioned aerial respiration. However, ASA blocked the enhancement of LTM formation normally elicited by training snails in predator cue. ASA also blocked configural learning, which makes use of the fear response elicited by the predator cue. Thus, ASA alters how Lymnaea responds cognitively to predator detection.

INTRODUCTION: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are currently the most widely used anti-inflammatory medications, but their long-term use can cause damage to the gastrointestinal tract(GIT). One of the risk factors for GIT injury is exposure to a high-altitude hypoxic environment, which can lead to damage to the intestinal mucosal barrier. Taking NSAIDs in a high-altitude hypoxic environment can exacerbate GIT injury and impact gut microbiota. The aim of this study is to investigate the mechanisms by which resveratrol (RSV) intervention alleviates NSAID-induced intestinal injury in a high-altitude hypoxic environment, as well as its role in regulating gut microbiota. METHODS: Aspirin was administered orally to rats to construct a rat model of intestinal injury induced by NSAIDs. Following the induction of intestinal injury, rats were administered RSV by gavage, and the expression levels of TLR4, NF-κB,IκB as well as Zonula Occludens-1 (ZO-1) and Occludin proteins in the different treatment groups were assessed via Western blot. Furthermore, the expression of the inflammatory factors IL-10, IL-1ß, and TNF-α was evaluated using Elisa.16sRNA sequencing was employed to investigate alterations in the gut microbiota. RESULTS: The HCk group showed elevated expression of TLR4/NF-κB/IκB pathway proteins, increased expression of pro-inflammatory factors IL-1ß and TNF-α, decreased expression of the anti-inflammatory factor IL-10, and expression of intestinal mucosal barrier proteins ZO-1 and Occludin. The administration of NSAIDs drugs in the plateau hypoxic environment exacerbates intestinal inflammation and damage to the intestinal mucosal barrier. After treatment with RSV intervention, the expression of TLR4/NF-κB/IκB signaling pathway proteins would be reduced, thereby lowering the expression of inflammatory factors in the HAsp group. The results of HE staining directly show the damage to the intestines and the repair of intestinal mucosa after RSV intervention. 16sRNA sequencing results show significant differences (P<0.05) in Ruminococcus, Facklamia, Parasutterella, Jeotgalicoccus, Coprococcus, and Psychrobacter between the HCk group and the Ck group. Compared to the HCk group, the HAsp group shows significant differences (P<0.05) in Facklamia, Jeotgalicoccus, Roseburia, Psychrobacter, and Alloprevotella. After RSV intervention, Clostridium_sensu_stricto bacteria significantly increase compared to the HAsp group. CONCLUSION: Resveratrol can attenuate intestinal damage caused by the administration of NSAIDs at high altitude in hypoxic environments by modulating the TLR4/NF-κB/IκB signaling pathway and gut microbiota composition.

Diclofenac (DF), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, is commonly used to relieve pain and inflammation. High doses of DF might induce acute kidney injury (AKI), particularly in elderly, a known vulnerable population. AIM: We aimed to assess the protective role of melatonin (Mel) on DF-induced AKI in aged rats and to highlight the underpinning mechanisms include, oxidative stress and inflammation focusing on microRNA-34a (miR-34a), nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor-2/hemeoxygenase-1 (Nrf2/HO-1) and NLR family-pyrin domain containing-3 (NLRP3) inflammasome pathways, and to elucidate the possibility of epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) involvement. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty old male Wistar rats were allocated randomly into 3 groups: Control, DF and Mel-DF groups. KEY FINDINGS: Melatonin provided nephroprotective effects against DF-induced AKI via attenuating the expression of renal miR-34a and subsequently promoting the signaling of Nrf2/HO-1 with elevation of the antioxidant defense capacity and suppressing NLRP3 inflammasomes. Melatonin alleviated DF-induced hypernatremia via decreasing the ENaC expression. Renal histopathological examination revealed significant reduction in vascular congestion, mononuclear infiltration, glomerulo-tubular damage, fibrosis and TNF-α optical density. SIGNIFICANCE: It can be assumed that melatonin is a promising safe therapeutic agent in controlling DF-induced AKI in elderly.

The escalating levels of hazardous pharmaceutical contaminants, specifically nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), in groundwater reservoir surfaces and surface waterway systems have prompted substantial scientific interest regarding their potential deleterious effects on both aquatic ecosystems and human health. Extraction of those pollutants from wastewater is quite challenging. Hence, the development of economic, sustainable, and scalable techniques for capturing and removing those pollutants is crucial to ensure water safety. Herein, we demonstrate a physicochemically stable, reusable, porous Hf(IV)-based cationic metal-organic framework (MOF), namely, 1'@MeCl for the aqueous phase adsorption-based removal of NSAIDs (diclofenac, naproxen, ibuprofen) from the wastewater environment. The highly positively charged surface of the 1'@MeCl MOF enables it to selectively extract more than 99% of diclofenac, naproxen, and ibuprofen contaminants within less than 30 s. With fast adsorption kinetics, very high adsorption capacities (Qe) were achieved at neutral pH for diclofenac (482.9 mg/g), naproxen (295.9 mg/g), and ibuprofen (219.5 mg/g). Moreover, the influence of changes in pH and coexisting anions on the adsorption property of the 1'@MeCl MOF was studied. Furthermore, the adsorption efficiency of 1'@MeCl in different real water environments was ensured by performing diclofenac, naproxen, and ibuprofen adsorption from tap, river, and lake water. Moreover, a 1'@MeCl-anchored cellulose acetate-chitosan membrane was developed successfully to demonstrate the membrane-based extraction of diclofenac, naproxen, and ibuprofen from contaminated water. Furthermore, a molecular-level mechanistic study was performed through experimental and computational study to propose the plausible adsorption mechanisms for diclofenac, naproxen, and ibuprofen over the surface of 1'@MeCl.

Terminal ileal ulcers can have various etiologies, including Crohn's disease (CD), infections, and medication-related causes. This study aims to investigate the incidence of terminal ileal ulcers detected during colonoscopies, explore their underlying causes, and analyze their clinical, endoscopic, and histopathological characteristics. Additionally, the study aims to identify predictive factors that indicate the need for follow-up. Medical records of all patients who underwent colonoscopies, between 2009 and 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with terminal ileal ulcers, with or without ileocecal valve involvement, were included in the study. Demographic information, medication usage, symptoms, colonoscopy findings, and histopathological data of these patients were analyzed. A total of 398 patients were included in the study. Histopathological examination revealed that 243 patients (61%) had active ileitis, and 69 patients (17.4%) had chronic active ileitis. The final diagnoses for ulcers were: nonspecific ulcers in 212 patients (53.3%), CD in 66 patients (16.6%), and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug-induced ulcers in 58 patients (14.6%). In the multivariate analysis, the parameters predicting CD included the presence of 10 or more ulcers (odds ratio (OR) = 7.305), deep ulcers (OR = 7.431), and edematous surrounding tissue (OR = 5.174), all of which were statistically significant (P < .001). Upon final evaluation, only 66 patients (16.6%) were diagnosed with CD, while 212 patients (53.3%) had nonspecific ulcers. The majority of patients with healed ulcers exhibited pathological findings consistent with active ileitis. Therefore, it can be concluded that not all terminal ileal ulcers are indicative of CD. In those cases with active ileitis, repetitive colonoscopies should be reconsidered.

Inflammation may contribute to postoperative cardiac complications and ketorolac, an anti-inflammatory agent inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX), shows promise in enhancing cardiac graft patency by suppressing endothelial cell proliferation in animal studies. However, the safety of postoperative ketorolac use remains controversial. This study investigates the association between early ketorolac application and complications following cardiac surgery. Data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV (MIMIC-IV) database fueled this retrospective cohort study. The primary outcome is a composite of mortality, pulmonary insufficiency, severe acute kidney injury (AKI), hemorrhage or hematoma, infection, cardiogenic shock, and cerebrovascular infarction postcardiac surgery. Propensity score matching (PSM; 1:1 match, caliper 0.2), multivariate logistic regression, interaction stratification analysis, pairwise algorithmic, and overlap weight model analyses were employed. Following inclusion and exclusion criteria, 7143 patients who underwent valvular surgery or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) were included. PSM created a balanced cohort of 3270 individuals (1635 in the ketorolac group). The matched cohort exhibited an 8.1% overall rate of postoperative complications, with a lower composite outcome rate in patients receiving ketorolac within 48 h of surgery compared with those without (PSM, OR 0.70 [95% CI, 0.54-0.90]). Consistent associations were observed in total cohort analyses, sensitivity, and subgroup analyses. Early ketorolac use within 48 h post-CABG or valvular procedures in adults is independently associated with a lower incidence of composite postoperative adverse events. Prospective trials are warranted to assess causality.

Drug use during pregnancy is an important issue that must be investigated due to its adverse effects on maternal and foetal health. This study aimed to determine the embryotoxic and teratogenic effects of in-ovo administered metamizole (dipyrone), which can be used when needed during pregnancy and has potent analgesic, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, and long bone (tibia and femur) effects. This study used 240 fertile eggs from Atak S breed chickens, divided into eight equal groups: control, vehicle control, and 15.62, 31.25, 62.5, 125, 250 and 500 mg/kg metamizole. The eggs were hatched on the 21st day of incubation, and the chicks' body weights and mortality rates were determined. The right and left femur and tibia bones were resected from the chicks. Anatomical reference points were determined after removing the soft tissues of the bones, and necessary morphometric measures were taken from these points with a 0.01 mm precision using digital callipers. The 100% lethal dose (LD100) was identified in the highest examined dose (500 mg/kg) in the Chicken Embryotoxicity Screening Test (CHEST)-I stage. The CHEST-II stage determined the 50% lethal dose (LD50). High-dose metamizole affected skeletal development, significantly decreasing tibia and femur lengths and corpus thicknesses and increasing mortality.

Pemphigus foliaceus (PF) is a superficial form of pemphigus. Treatment options for PF resemble pemphigus vulgaris, including glucocorticosteroids, immunosuppressive agents and rituximab et al. These treatment approaches can effectively improve the condition but may also be accompanied by high risks of side effects. Therefore, it is crucial to find a safe and effective treatment options for patients with PF. It will not only benefit/be necessary for patients who refuse glucocorticosteroids or immunosuppressive agents treatments, but also for patients who cannot be treated with glucocorticosteroids or immunosuppressive agents. Herein, we reported a case of PF that was treated with apremilast without systemic glucocorticosteroids or immunosuppressive agents. A 54-year-old woman presented with itchy erythema and erosions on the trunk for more than 1 month. The patient applied mometasonefuroate cream without improvement for a duration of two weeks. The past history of diabetes mellitus and atrophic gastritis was reported. Physical examination revealed scattered erythematous macules and erosions on the trunk. No mucosal involvement was observed. The condition was assessed by the pemphigus disease area index and numerical rating scale, with baseline scores of 7 and 8, respectively. Histopathological examination showed acantholysis and intraepithelial blister. Direct immunofluorescence revealed the presence of IgG and Complement 3 deposition between the acanthocytes with the reticular distribution. Based on enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay results, the levels of Dsg1 and Dsg3 antibodies were 28.18 and 0.26 kU/L respectively. The diagnosis of PF was made. This patient was successfully treated with apremilast without systemic glucocorticosteroids or immunosuppressive agents. The patient has continued with apremilast 30mg once daily for maintenance and no adverse events related to apremilast such as gastrointestinal side effects were observed during the 9-month follow-up period. In conclusion, apremilast therapy without systemic glucocorticosteroids nor immunosuppressive agents might provide an effective alternative to management of mild PF without obvious side effect.

OBJECTIVE: This study analyzed, using an umbrella review, existing systematic reviews on medications to prevent and control postoperative endodontic pain to guide professionals in choosing the most effective drug. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An electronic search in the PubMed (MEDLINE), LILACS, SciELO, EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Reviews, and Data Archiving and Networked Services (DANS) databases retrieved 17 systematic reviews. The study included only systematic reviews of clinical trials with or without meta-analyses evaluating effectiveness of medications in reducing pain after non-surgical endodontic treatment. RESULTS: The evidence showed that steroidal and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and opioids effectively controlled pain within six to 24 h. CONCLUSIONS: Dexamethasone, prednisolone, paracetamol, and mainly ibuprofen provided higher postoperative pain relief. The quality of evidence of the reviews ranged from very low to high, and the risk of bias from low to high, suggesting the need for well-designed clinical trials to provide confirmatory evidence. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This review emphasizes the efficacy of developing protocols for pain control after endodontic therapy.

OBJECTIVES: To assess the potential impact of targeted therapies for psoriatic arthritis (PsA) on symptomatic treatments (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, opioid analgesics), methotrexate and mood disorder treatments and on hospitalisation and sick leave. METHODS: Using the French health insurance database, this nationwide cohort study included adults with PsA who were new users (not in the year before the index date) of targeted therapies for ≥9 months during 2015-2021. Main endpoints were difference in proportion of users of associated treatments, hospitalisations and sick leaves between 3 and 9 months after and 6 months before targeted therapy initiation. Logistic regression models adjusted for sex, age, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease and Charlson Comorbidity Index compared the impact of biologics initiation (tumour necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi)/interleukin 17 inhibitor (IL17i)/IL12/23i) on associated treatment discontinuation. RESULTS: Among 9793 patients initiating targeted therapy for PsA (mean age: 51±13 years, 47% men), 62% initiated TNFi, 14% IL17i, 10% IL12/23i, 1% Janus kinase inhibitor, 12% phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor. After treatment initiation, the proportion of treatment users was significantly reduced for NSAIDs (-15%), opioid analgesics (-9%), prednisone (-9%), methotrexate (-15%) and mood disorder treatments (-2%), along with decreased hospitalisations (-12%) and sick leaves (-4%). TNFi had a greater sparing effect on NSAIDs and prednisone use than IL17i (ORa=1.04, 95% CI=1.01 to 1.07; 1.04, 1.02 to 1.06) and IL12/23i (1.07, 1.04 to 1.10; 1.06, 1.04 to 1.09). Odds of methotrexate discontinuation was reduced with TNFi versus IL17i (0.96, 0.94 to 0.98) and IL12/23i (0.94, 0.92 to 0.97). CONCLUSIONS: Targeted therapy initiation for PsA reduced the use of associated treatment and healthcare, with TNFi having a slightly greater effect than IL17i and IL12/23i, except for methotrexate discontinuation.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: This study aimed to investigate the possible positive effects of arbutin in a trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)- induced experimental colitis model, to compare it with mesalazine, which is used in treating inflammatory bowel disease and to observe the effect of its concomitant use. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty Wistar albino species male rats were randomized into 5 groups as control, colitis, colitis+arbutin (Arb), colitis+mesalazine (Mes), and colitis+mesalazine+arbutin (M+A). Proinflammatory cytokines [interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1ß, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α)] and oxidant/antioxidant parameters [malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase inhibition (SOD) inhibition, myeloperoxidase (MPO), and catalase, glutathione peroxidase (GPx)] were processed from the samples. Histopathological evaluation evaluated goblet cell reduction, cellular infiltration, and mucosal loss. RESULTS: When the treatment groups and the TNBS group were compared, statistical significance was achieved in MDA, MPO, SOD inhibition, GPx values, IL-6, IL-1ß and TNF-α levels. Histopathological evaluation revealed a statistically significant decrease in the mucosal loss value in the group where mesalazine and arbutin were used together compared to the TNBS group. CONCLUSION: Our study's results elaborated that using arbutin alone or in combination with mesalazine produced positive effects in colitis-induced rats.

Background: Aspirin is a representative non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs) and has been commonly used for the treatment of tendinopathy in clinical practice. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the biomechanical and histological healing effects of aspirin on the healing of the tendon-to-bone interface after rotator cuff tear repair. Methods: A total of 20 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into two groups of 10 rats each. Group-C performed repaironly, and group-aspirin treated with aspirin after tendon repair. Group-aspirin rat were intraperitoneally injected with aspirin at 10 mg/kg every 24 h for 7 days. Eight weeks after surgery, the left shoulder of each rat was used for histological analysis and the right shoulder for biomechanical analysis. Results: In the biomechanical analysis, there was no significant difference in load-to-failure (group-C: 0.61 ± 0.32 N, group-aspirin: 0.74 ± 0.91 N; p = .697) and ultimate stress (group-C: 0.05 ± 0.01 MPa, group-aspirin: 0.29 ± 0.43 MPa; p = .095). For the elongation (group-C: 222.62 ± 57.98%, group-aspirin: 194.75 ± 75.16%; p = .028), group-aspirin confirmed a lower elongation level than group-C. In the histological evaluation, the Bonar score confirmed significant differences in collagen fiber density (group-C: 1.60 ± 0.52, group-aspirin: 2.60 ± 0.52, p = .001) and vascularity (group-C: 1.00 ± 0.47, group-aspirin: 2.20 ± 0.63, p = .001) between the groups. Conclusions: Aspirin injection after rotator cuff tear repair may enhance the healing effect during the early remodeling phase of tendon healing.
