Efficacy of lumiracoxib in relieving pain associated with knee osteoarthritis: a 6‐week,randomized, double‐blind,parallel‐group study

Aim: The aim of the current study was to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of lumiracoxib 200 mg once daily (o.d.) in relieving osteoarthritis (OA) knee pain in patients in China, Taiwan, and South Korea. Methods: Patients of either sex (aged ≥ 18 years) with symptomatic, primary OA of the knee for ≥ 3 months were eligible for inclusion if they had OA pain intensity of ≥ 40 mm (100 mm visual analogue scale [VAS]) in the target knee joint during the previous 24 h. Patients were required to undergo regular non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drug therapy for ≥ 6 weeks. After 3–7 days of screening, patients were randomized (1 : 1) to receive either lumiracoxib 200 mg o.d. or celecoxib 200 mg o.d. The primary efficacy comparison between the study groups was overall OA pain intensity (VAS) in the target knee after 6 weeks of treatment. Results: The mean overall OA pain intensity (VAS) in the target knee after 6 weeks decreased from 60.6 mm to 35.7 mm and 60.5 mm to 36.1 mm in the lumiracoxib and celecoxib groups, respectively. Both study groups showed similar results in terms of improvement in both patient's and physician's global assessment of disease activity and functional health status. The percentage of adverse events (AEs) in the lumiracoxib and celecoxib groups (40.3% and 37.9%, respectively) was similar, as was the proportion of treatment‐related AEs (21.0% and 18.2%, respectively). Conclusions: Lumiracoxib 200 mg o.d. provided effective and well‐tolerated pain relief similar to that achieved with celecoxib 200 mg o.d. in knee OA patients.

Abnormal Nuclear Factor (NF)-κB Signal Pathway and Aspirin Inhibits Tumor Necrosis Factor α–Induced NF-κB Activation in Keloid Fibroblasts

BACKGROUND: Keloid is characterized with disproportionate extracellular matrix accumulation and fibroblast proliferation. Rel/nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) signal transduction pathway may play an important role in keloid pathogenesis. OBJECTIVE: To examine the effect of aspirin on the tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha-induced NF-kappaB activation in keloid fibroblasts. METHODS: Primary cultured fibroblasts were pretreated with aspirin and then stimulated with TNF-alpha. Proliferation and apoptosis were measured by MTT reduction and flow cytometry. Expression of DNA-binding activity of NF-kappaB p65 and cytoplasmic IkappaBalpha/p- IkappaBalpha protein levels were determined by Trans AM NF-kappaB/p65 kit and Western blot, respectively. Subcellular localization of NF-kappaB p65 and IkappaBalpha were observed with immunofluorescence assay. RESULTS: In this study, we demonstrate that TNF-alpha induced NF-kappaB activation in keloid fibroblasts, which show more sensitively than the normal skin fibroblasts. Aspirin pretreatment can inhibit TNF-alpha-induced activation of NF-kappaB in a dose-dependent manner by preventing the phosphorylation and degradation of IkappaBalpha and nuclear translocation of NF-kappaB. Moreover, aspirin may inhibit keloid fibroblasts proliferation and sensitize keloid fibroblasts to apoptosis. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that aspirin could help in developing therapeutic interventions for the treatment of keloid scarring.     

基于快速节律性运动的皮层脑电分析

节律运动是人们生活中一种基本的运动形式,与单次运动相区别,快速节律运动在脑电中有特殊的表现形式.本文以两位植入皮层电极的癫痫病人作为受试,在1Hz与2Hz听觉节拍器提示下进行手指节律运动,同时记录皮层脑电数据.对脑电数据的能量和相关性进行离线分析,结果显示节律运动中运动感觉皮层脑电的能量在特定频段上呈下降趋势,相干性呈上升趋势,且运动相关能量与相干性在不同的运动速度下具有明显的统计性差异.对不同功能区之间相干性的分析表明辅助运动区可能是与运动速度有关的皮层功能区.

Abstract：

Objective To investigate the correlation of the type of hypospadias and external genital system malformations. Methods From Jan 2000 to Oct 2009, the data of 632 patients diagnosed with hypospadias was analyzed retrospectively. The proportion of all types of hypospadias and the frequency of external genital system malformations were statistically analyzed. Results Among all cases, 12.6% exhibited mild hypospadias, 22. 8% moderate, 43. 2% severe and 21.4% had extremely severe hypospadias. One hundred and eighty-four cases with external genital system malformations were classified into penoscrotal transposition, cryptorchidism, hydrocele of tunica vaginalis,concealed penis and pseudovagina. The probability was about 24.8% (157 cases) of 632 patients with hypospadias. There was significant difference and a positive correlation among the type of hypospadias with total malformations, penoscrotal transposition, cryptorchidism. Conclusions In this patient cohort, moderate and severe hypospadias accounted for the majority of hypospadias. Penoscrotal transposition was the most frequent external genital system malformation in hypospadias, followed by cryptorchidism and hydrocele of tunics vaginalis. More severe hypospadias is accompanied with a higher probability of the external genital system malformations, penoscrotal transposition and cryptorchidism.
