Due to the high number of anti-inflammatory drugs (AIMDs) used by the public health sector in Iraq and distributed all over the country and due to their toxicity, there is a need for an environmental-friendly technique to degrade any wasted (AIMD) present in aquatic ecosystem. The degradation of diclofenac sodium (DCF), ibuprofen (IBN), and mefenamic acid (MFA) in synthetic hospital wastewater were investigated utilizing locally-made Cu-coated TiO2 nanoparticles in a solar-irradiated reactor. Different key variables were studied for their effects on process efficiency, such as loadings of catalyst (C CU-TiO2 = 100–500 mg/L), AIMDs (100 µg/L), pH (4–9), and hydrogen peroxide (CH2O2 = 200–800 mg/L). The results revealed that degradation percentages of 96.5, 94.2, and 82.3%, were obtained for DCF, IBN, and MFA, respectively, using our Cu-coated TiO2 catalyst within 65 min at pH = 9, while other parameters were C CU-TiO2 = 300 mg/L, and CH2O2 = 400 mg/L. The experimental results revealed coupling photocatalysis with solar irradiation as a clean energy source could be utilized for the degradation of toxic pollutants in surface water.

The effects of piroxicam, tenoxicam, diclofenac sodium, acetylsalicylic acid and tiaprofenic acid on the chemotaxis and random migration of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes were investigated, using zymosan-activated serum as chemo-attractant, with a modified Boyden chamber technique. All five compounds significantly reduced chemotaxis. The random migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes was inhibited by piroxicam, diclofenac sodium and tiaprofenic acid but not by tenoxicam or acetylsalicylic acid. The inhibitory effect of these non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on polymorphonuclear leukocyte chemotaxis and on random migration was generally dose-dependent. The results suggest that the drugs studied may have a direct effect on polymorphonuclear leukocyte chemotaxis and that this activity may contribute to their anti-inflammatory properties.

Background: Post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis (PEP) is a serious disease. The role of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in the prevention of PEP is conflicting. Objectives: This review aimed to assess the preventive role of NSAIDs in PEP with special emphasis on the dose and route of administration. Methods: We searched PubMed and Google Scholar for relevant observational studies published in English during the period from January 2010 to January 2020. The terms post-ERCP pancreatitis, diclofenac sodium, indomethacin, NSAIDs, dose, route of administration were used. Results: Of the 179 identified, 19 full texts were screened and included in the review. Ten studies were from Europe, seven from Asia and two were published in the USA, the studies showed that NSAIDs were effective in preventing PEP when used rectally or intramuscularly, higher doses are more efficacious and the combination with stents was not superior, careful patients selection is needed in particular regarding the body mass index. Conclusion: NSAIDs were effective in PEP prevention; however, the evidence is weak due to the observational nature and the different methods used in the included studies. Randomized controlled studies are needed to solve the issue.

Bone fractures related to musculoskeletal disorders determine long-term disability in older people with a consequent significant economic burden. The recovery of pathologically impaired tissue architecture allows avoiding bone loss-derived consequences such as bone height reduction, deterioration of bone structure, inflamed bone pain, and high mortality for thighbone fractures. Actually, standard therapy for osteoporosis treatment is based on the systemic administration of biphosphonates and anti-inflammatory drugs, which entail several side effects including gastrointestinal (GI) diseases, fever, and articular pain. Hence, the demand of innovative therapeutic approaches for locally treating bone lesions has been increasing in the last few years. In this scenario, the development of injectable materials loaded with therapeutically active agents (i.e., anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, and peptides mimicking growth factors) could be an effective tool to treat bone loss and inflammation related to musculoskeletal diseases, including osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. According to this challenge, here, we propose three different compositions of injectable calcium phosphates (CaP) as new carrier materials of therapeutic compounds such as bisphosphonates (i.e., alendronate), anti-inflammatory drugs (i.e., diclofenac sodium), and natural molecules (i.e., harpagoside) for the local bone disease treatment. Biological quantitative analyses were performed for screening osteoinductive and anti-inflammatory properties of injectable drug-loaded systems. Meanwhile, cell morphological features were analyzed through scanning electron microscopy and confocal investigations. The results exhibited that the three systems exerted an osteoinductive effect during later phases of osteogenesis. Simultaneously, all compositions showed an anti-inflammatory activity on inflammation in vitro models.

Experimental Osteoarthritis

The article investigated changes in the level of C-reactive protein under the influence of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and paracetamol under experimental equivalents of hypothyroidism and osteoarthritis. There is a clear need to identify biomarkers that could predict a patient's response to osteoarthritis treatment, primarily in comorbid conditions. It is known that hypofunction of the thyroid gland leads to metabolic disorders that negatively affect the condition of bone and cartilage, causing the development of osteoarthritis. One manifestation of osteoarthritis is considered to be a pathological change in the subchondral bone, which responds to the disease by the formation of sclerosis, marginal bone growths and the formation of deformation of the joint surfaces due to the destruction of bone tissue. Although non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are effective in reducing pain and disability in patients with osteoarthritis, it is still unclear to what extent these drugs can affect joint metabolism and, therefore, joint structure, especially against the background of functional thyroid insufficiency. The purpose of the study was to research the pharmacological activity of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and paracetamol on the level of C-reactive protein in the serum of rats with experimental equivalents of hypothyroidism and osteoarthritis. Material and methods. The experiments were carried out on 70 white outbred rats of both sexes, which recreated osteoarthritis and hypothyroidism. Experimental osteoarthritis was performed by single intra-articular administration of 0.1 ml of monoacetic acid solution in the knee joint, which was prepared at a rate of 3 mg of the reagent on 50 μl of sterile physiological saline. Experimental hypothyroidism was reconstructed by enteral administration of a 0.02% solution of carbimazole, which was prepared at a rate of 5 mg per 250 ml of physiological solution and given with a drinking ration of animals for 6 weeks. The adequacy of the model was confirmed by the level of serum TSH, T3 and T4 in rats. Results and discussion. After the formation of experimental models on the 42nd day of the experiment, the animals were divided into 14 groups and drug administration began daily for 5 days. The quantitative level of C-reactive protein of blood serum was determined by competitive in vitro ELISA twice on 42 and 47 days of the experiment. Blood samples were obtained from the rat tail vein by puncture using a vacuum system at 42 and 47 days of the experiment. Statistical data processing was performed using the Statistica 6.1 software package (StatSoftInc., Serial number AGAR909E415822FA) and included calculations of arithmetic mean values (M) and their errors (± m). The probability of the difference between the arithmetic mean (p) values of the indices was made using non-parametric U-criterion Mann-Whitney. The determination of the probability of intragroup and intergroup differences was performed using the parametric t-criterion of the Student and the method of single-factor dispersion analysis (ANOVA). Differences were considered statistically significant at p≤0.05. Conclusion. The author found that determining the level of C-reactive protein allowed evaluating the anti-inflammatory activity non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on the background of experimental equivalents of osteoarthritis and hypothyroidism. The data obtained from rat’s serum C-reactive protein reflects the extent of the effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and paracetamol due to the interaction of drugs in experimental osteoarthritis and hypothyroidism. According to the degree of influence on degenerative-dystrophic processes in bone tissue the investigated drugs can be arranged as follows: diclofenac sodium > ibuprofen > nimesulide = meloxicam > celecoxib > paracetamol

The patient was a 36-year-old woman with sarcoidosis and Sjogren's syndrome, and had been prescribed slow-release diclofenac sodium and prednisolone for the treatment of pain associated with uveitis and erythema nodosum. She was admitted to our emergency center with abdominal pain and distention. A chest X-ray showed free air under the diaphragm on both sides, and an emergency laparotomy was performed for suspected panperitonitis associated with intestinal perforation. Laparotomy revealed several perforations on the antimesenteric aspect of the transverse colon. The resected specimen showed 11 punched-out ulcerations, many of which were up to 10 mm in diameter. The microscopic findings were non-specific, with leukocytic infiltration around the perforations. She showed good postoperative recovery, as evaluated on day 42. The present case highlights the need for exercising caution while prescribing slow-release nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs with corticosteroids to patients with autoimmune diseases, as such treatment may exacerbate intestinal epithelial abnormalities.

1. The effects of two non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, ibuprofen (20 mg day−1 kg−1) and diclofenac sodium (2.5 mg day−1 kg−1), on the severity of gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity were evaluated in rats. 2. Administration of gentamicin (100 mg day−1 kg−1) for 5 days resulted in a significant increase in renal cortical total phospholipids accompanied by a significant decrease in cortical Na+, K+-ATPase activity. These changes were associated with a significant decrease in body weight and increases in kidney weight, serum creatinine and urea nitrogen. 3. In rats treated simultaneously with both gentamicin and either ibuprofen or diclofenac sodium for 5 days, all the measured parameters of renal dysfunction were similar in magnitude to those observed in rats treated with gentamicin alone. 4. In contrast, rats treated with either ibuprofen or diclofenac sodium for 27 days and injected concurrently with gentamicin during the last 5 days of the treatment period had significantly higher kidney weight, lower renal cortical Na+, K+-ATPase activity and higher cortical phospholipid content, serum creatinine and urea nitrogen than did rats treated with gentamicin alone. A 27-day treatment with ibuprofen or diclofenac sodium alone resulted in no change in renal function. 5. These results demonstrate that gentamicin nephrotoxicity was potentiated after the long (27 days) but not after the short (5 days) period of treatment with ibuprofen and diclofenac sodium. Thus, prolonged administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should be considered as a risk factor that may increase the nephrotoxic potential of gentamicin.

Background: Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ OA) is a degenerative joint disease. The aim of this review was to present the general characteristics of orally administered nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and to present the efficacy of NSAIDs in the treatment of TMJ OA. Methods: PubMed database was analyzed with the keywords: “(temporomandibular joint) AND ((disorders) OR (osteoarthritis) AND (treatment)) AND (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug)”. After screening of 180 results, 6 studies have been included in this narrative review. Results and Conclusions: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are one of the most commonly used drugs for alleviation of pain localized in the orofacial area. The majority of articles predominantly examined and described diclofenac sodium in the treatment of pain in the course of TMJ OA. Because of the limited number of randomized studies evaluating the efficacy of NSAIDs in the treatment of TMJ OA, as well as high heterogeneity of published researches, it seems impossible to draw up unequivocal recommendations for the usage of NSAIDs in the treatment of TMJ OA. However, it is highly recommended to use the lowest effective dose of NSAIDs for the shortest possible time. Moreover, in patients with increased risk of gastrointestinal complications, supplementary gastroprotective agents should be prescribed.
