Biokompatibilne nanočestice s povećanom terapeutskom efikasnošću flavonoida

2016

U okviru ovog rada provedena je fizičko-kemijska i morfološka karakterizacija magnetskih mezoporoznih čestica uzoraka sljedećim tehnikama: UV/Vis spektrofotometrijom, infracrvenom spektroskopijom s Fourierovom transformacijom (FTIR), skenirajućom elektronskom mikroskopijom (SEM) i dinamičkim raspršenjem svjetlosti (DLS). Provedena su istraživanja s trima različitim flavonoidima (kvercetin, miricetin i miricitrin) koji su otopljeni u smjesi EtOH/H2O i ugrađeni u Fe3O4 nanočestice. Količina ugrađenih flavonoida u nanočestice određena je spektrofotometrijskim mjerenjima supernatanta pomoću UV/Vis spektrometra. Nakon ugradnje flavonoida u nanočestice, praćeno je njihovo otpuštanje iz nanočestica pri normalnim uvjetima, pod utjecajem permanentnog i oscilirajućeg magnetskog polja korištenjem UV/Vis spektrofotometrije Karakterizacija praznih i napunjenih magnetskih nanočestica kao i morfologija i distribucija veličine nanočestica je provedena FTIR analizom, SEM i DLS mjerenjima. SEMom se uslijed promjena hrapavosti površine magnetskih nanočestica nakon ugradnje flavonoida potvrdila ugradnja flavonoida na samoj površini nanočestica. Zbog niske koncentracije ugrađenih flavonoida, nije bilo moguće kvantitativno odrediti koncentraciju i prirodu veze između nanočestica i flavonoida pomoću FTIR analize. U radu istražena je stabilnost praznih Fe3O4 nanočestica i nanočestica napunjenih s flavonidom u PBS puferu metodom dinamičkog raspršenja svjetlosti tijekom 96 sati.

Effect of intravenous continual vs. Bolus doses of tramadol and metamizol sodium combination in acute pain management: Continual vs. Bolus doses of tramadol and metamizol combination: Pilot study

Serbian Journal of Anesthesia and Intensive Therapy, 2016

Uvod: Tramadol i metamizol se često primenjuju u terapiji akutnog postoperativnog bola (bolus doze). Kombinovana intravenska primena tramadola/metamizola predstavlja bezbedan i efikasan analgetski metod, a u kliničkoj praksi nisu dokazane farmakokinetske i farmakodinamske interakcije. Morfin-sulfat je najčešće korišćen analgetik na zahtev. Metodologija: Nakon dobijanja saglasnosti od strane lokalnog etičkog odbora i saglasnosti pacijenata, sprovedena je prospektivna kohortna pilot-studija koja je obuhvatila pacijente podvrgnute radikalnoj nefrektomiji pristupom putem lumbotomije. Pacijenti normalnog Mini-Mental skora i ASA I i II grupe su uključeni u studiju. Iz studije su izuzeti pacijenti oboleli od dijabetes melitusa, depresije, sa bubrežnom slabošću, sa hematološkim poremećajima, peptičkim ulkusom, sa istorijom zloupotrebe medikamenata ili hroničnom upotrebom opioida, sa alergijskim reakcijama na neki od lekova. Svi pacijenti su primili istu premedikaciju i bili su podvrgnuti operativnom zahvatu u opštoj endotrahealnoj anesteziji. Indukcija anestezije je izvedena propofolom 2 mg/kg i fentanilom (0,005 mg/kg), a održavana sevofluranom (1 MAC) i rokuronijumom. Nisu zabeležene komplikacije hirurške procedure. Postoperativno, pacijenti su bili podeljeni u 2 grupe. Grupa I je primala i.v. infuziju 100 mg tramadola na 6 sati i infuziju metamizola 2500 mg na 12 sati, naizmenično. Analgetska sekvenca je započeta tramadolom, a nastavljena metamizolom kroz 2 sata. Grupa II je primila tramadol 400 mg (0,8 mg/ml) i metamizol 5000 mg (10 mg/ml) rastvorene Sumarry Introduction: Tramadol and metamizol are very commonly used postoperatively for acute pain (bolus doses). Combined iv infusion tramadol/metamizol provide safe and effective acute pain relief and there is no evidence for pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic side effects in clinical practice. Morphine sulfate seems to be the best rescue analgesic for patients receiving this infusion. Methods: After approval of local ethic committee and written ICF, the prospective cohort pilot study included all patients undergoing surgery (radical nephrectomy with lumbotomy approach). ASA physical status I to III and normal minimental score patients were included. Patients suffered from diabetes melitus, depressive disorders, advanced renal failure, hematology disease, peptic ulcer, drug abuse or chronic opioid use, medicament allergic reaction were excluded. All patients who underwent surgery under general anesthesia recieved the same premedication. Anaesthesia induction was made with propofol in dose 2 mg/ kg followed by sevoflurane (1MAC), fentanyl (0,005 mg/ kg) and rocuronium 0,6 mg/kg for intubation. Complications of surgical procedures have not occurred. Postoperatively, patients were randomized into two groups. Group I received iv infusion of tramadol 100 mg qd and metamizol-Na 2500 mg bid in bolus doses. Analgesia started with tramadol 100 mg followed by metamizol 2500 mg after 120 minutes. Group II received the solution tramadol 400 mg (0,8 mg/ml) and metamizol 5000 mg (10 mg/ml) in 500 ml normal saline. Infusion rate was 200 ml/h first 30 minutes

Klinička primjena nesteroidnih protuupalnih lijekova u pasa

This graduation thesis presents an overview of clinical use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in dogs. NSAID-s are widely used in veterinary orthopedic patients, most commonly in postoperative period as well as in long-term treatment of osteoarthritis. The adverse effects of this particular group of drugs are mainly associated with either direct or indirect damaging effects on digestive system, kidneys or liver. With the development of new COX-2 selective NSAID-s the above mentioned adverse effects are largely minimalized.

Farmaceutici i metode obrade otpadne vode iz farmaceutske industrije

The consumption of pharmaceuticals for human and veterinary uses shows an upward trend, as well as their release into the environment. Pharmaceuticals are found in discharges after wastewater treatment, in surface waters, soil and tap water. Although these concentrations are generally low, there is a growing concern about the possible long-term effects on humans and aquatic organisms due to a prolonged exposure to these compounds. The treatment of such water is very specific and complex, and regularly requires a combination of different treatment methods to render such water harmless and fulfil the legislative criteria for discharges into the environment. The paper lists the sources and potential adverse effects of pharmaceuticals on the environment and includes data about the composition of wastewater generated in the production of pharmaceuticals in the process of chemical synthesis, with indications of exact phases in the process when they are generated. An overview of convention...

3D-QSAR modeling and pharmacophore study of serotonin 5HT-₂A receptors antagonists

Arhiv za farmaciju

Creation of a statistically reliable 3D-QSAR (Quantitative Structure Activity Relationships) model enables definition of the structure of the pharmacophore for antagonists of serotonin 5-HT 2A receptors and selection of the key molecular determinants for the design of new antagonists. A 3D-QSAR study was applied on a series of 50 antagonists of 5-HT 2A receptors. The data set is divided into the training set, composed of 33 compounds, and test set containing 14 molecules. The training set was used to build the 3D-QSAR model, while test set was used for model validation. This 3D-QSAR study was performed by use of the Pentacle 1.07 programs. Obtained statistical and validation parameters for training set (R²= 0.96; Q²=0.75, RMSEE= 0.211); and for test set (R²pred=0.51; RMSEP= 0.558); indicate on reliability and good predictive potential of the 3D-QSAR model. Based on the most influential variables of the selected 3D-QSAR model, the molecular determinants for the antagonistic effect on the 5-HT 2A receptors were selected: hydrogen bond acceptor and hydrogen bond donor at a distance of 10.4A-10.8A (v495: O-N₁); carbonyl oxygen and a steric hot spot at a distance of 14.8A-15.2A (v640: N₁-TIP); hydrophobic domain and hydrogen bond acceptor at a distance of 3.2A-3.6A (v276: DRY-O); two steric hot spots at a distance of 18.8A-19.2A (v248: TIP-TIP) .

[Initial Experience with Topical Negative Pressure Therapy in the Treatment of Pediatric Burns]

PubMed, 2016

We are presenting the experience of the Referral Centre for Pediatric Traumatism of the Croatian Ministry of Health in the usage of topical negative pressure therapy (TNP) method for the treatment of pediatric burns. In the period of 20 months we have used negative pressure wound therapy method in eight children aged between 1.5 and 10 years. Burn injuries total body surface area ranged between 3% and 30%. TNP was used either for the wound bed conditioning or for the fixation of skin grafts. Average skin graft „take” was 86% eight days after surgery according to the evaluation by the senior author. Based on our initial experience, we can confirm that TNP is a very useful tool which enables good wound bed conditioning as well as a good fixation tool for skin grafts if the burned area does not exceed 30% of total body surface area.
