ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the effectiveness of preemptive analgesia with imrecoxib on analgesia after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.@*METHODS@#A total of 160 patients with ACL injuries who met the selection criteria and were admitted between November 2020 and August 2021 were selected and divided into 4 groups according to the random number table method (n=40). Group A began to take imrecoxib 3 days before operation (100 mg/time, 2 times/day); group B began to take imrecoxib 1 day before operation (100 mg/time, 2 times/day); group C took 200 mg of imrecoxib 2 hours before operation (5 mL of water); and group D did not take any analgesic drugs before operation. There was no significant difference in gender, age, body mass index, constituent ratio of meniscal injuries with preoperative MRI grade 3, constituent ratio of cartilage injury Outerbridge grade 3, and visual analogue scale (VAS) score at the time of injury and at rest among 4 groups (P>0.05). The operation time, hospitalization stay, constituent ratio of perioperative American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grade 1, postoperative opioid dosage, and complications were recorded. The VAS scores were used to evaluate the degree of knee joint pain, including resting VAS scores before operation and at 6, 24, 48 hours, and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after operation, and walking, knee flexion, and night VAS scores at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after operation. The knee injury and osteoarthritis score (KOOS) was used to evaluate postoperative quality of life and knee-related symptoms of patients, mainly including pain, symptoms, daily activities, sports and entertainment functions, knee-related quality of life (QOL); and the Lysholm score was used to evaluate knee joint function.@*RESULTS@#All patients were followed up 1 year. There was no significant difference in operation time, hospitalization time, or constituent ratio of perioperative ASA grade 1 among 4 groups (P>0.05); the dosage of opioids in groups A-C was significantly less than that in group D (P<0.05). Except for 1 case of postoperative fever in group B, no complications such as joint infection, deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities, or knee joint instability occurred in each group. The resting VAS scores of groups A-C at 6 and 24 hours after operation were lower than those of group D, and the score of group A at 6 hours after operation was lower than those of group C, and the differences were significant (P<0.05). At 1 month after operation, the knee flexion VAS scores of groups A-C were lower than those of group D, the walking VAS scores of groups A and B were lower than those of groups C and D, the differences were significant (P<0.05). At 1 month after operation, the KOOS pain scores in groups A-C were higher than those in group D, there was significant difference between groups A, B and group D (P<0.05); the KOOS QOL scores in groups A-C were higher than that in group D, all showing significant differences (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between groups A-C (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in VAS scores and KOOS scores between the groups at other time points (P>0.05). And there was no significant difference in Lysholm scores between the groups at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after operation (P>0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#Compared with the traditional analgesic scheme, applying the concept of preemptive analgesia with imrecoxib to manage the perioperative pain of ACL reconstruction can effectively reduce the early postoperative pain, reduce the dosage of opioids, and promote the early recovery of limb function.

Objective: To observe the effect of Yaotongning Capsules combined with Imrecoxib Tablets in the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis with cold-dampness and blood-stasis syndrome. Methods: A total of 120 cases with ankylosing spondylitis were randomly divided into two groups: treatment group and control group, with 60 patients in each group. The control group was given Imrecoxib Tablets, and the treatment group was given Imrecoxib Tablets and Yaotongning Capsules. The levels of ESR, CRP, and the scores of BASDAI, BASFI, TCM syndrome were compared before and after treatment, the treatment effect of two groups were evaluated. Results: There was no significant difference in the levels of ESR, CRP and the scores of BASDAI, BASFI, TCM syndrome between two groups before treatment. After treatment, the levels of ESR, CRP and the scores of BASDAI, BASFI, TCM syndrome of the two groups were decreased (P < 0.05), and all the indexes in treatment group were lower than those in control group (P < 0.05), the total effective rate in treatment group (86.67%) was better than that in control group (65.00%) (P < 0.01). Conclusion: Yaotongning Capsules can effectively improve TCM syndrome and functional activity indexes, reduce inflammatory indexes and disease activity, has definite clinical effect on ankylosing spondylitis.
ABSTRACT
Background and purpose:Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) participates in angiogenesis and lymph node metastasis of lung cancer. COX-2 inhibitors could inhibit invasion and metastasis of lung cancer. This study aimed to investigate the inhibition of invasion and metastasis by COX-2 inhibitor imrecoxib in xenograft tumor of lung adenocar-cinoma A549 cell in nude mice and to explore its possible mechanisms, in addition, to observe the efficacy of imrecoxib combined with lobaplatin.Methods:Thirty male BALB/c nude mice were injected subcutaneously with A549 cells into the right axillary region to establish xenograft models. Twenty-nine successfully modeled mice were randomly divided into four groups: control group (n=7), imrecoxib group (n=8), lobaplatin group (n=7), imrecoxib combined with lobaplatin group (n=7). The control group was treated with the same amount of sterile distilled water and injected with the same amount of 0.9% sodium chloride solution via caudal vein. The treatment group was treated with imrecoxib tablets 40 mg/kg per day through gavage and injected with lobaplatin 7.5 mg/kg per week via caudal vein respectively. The diet, physical activity and other normal conditions of nude mice were observed everyday. After 6 weeks, 29 mice were sacrificed and transplanted tumor tissues were cut off. The expression of PTEN, cortactin protein and mRNA were detected by immunohistochemistry and real-time PCR. The data were analyzed with one-way anova and non-parametric test.Results:In the last week, the diet and physical activity of all nude mice were less than before, and they became thinner, which were more obvious among the mice in lobaplatin group and imrecoxib combined with lobaplatin group. Compared with the control group, the expression of PTEN protein and mRNA were significantly increased in imrecoxib group and imrecoxib combined with lobaplatin group (P<0.001, respectively). Compared with the control group, the expression of cortactin protein and mRNA were significantly decreased in imrecoxib group and imrecoxib combined with lobaplatin group (P<0.001, respectively). PTEN and cortactin protein, PTEN and cortactin mRNA had significantly negative correlation (r=-0.660, -0.983,P<0.001, respectively). Conclusion:Imrecoxib can inhibit non-small cell lung cancer invasion and metastasis which may be involved in upregu-lating PTEN protein and reducing cortactin protein. Imrecoxib could enhance the effect of lobaplatin chemotherapy.
ABSTRACT
Objective To assess the efficacy of rociverine tablets combined with imrecoxib tablets and comfortable nursing in the control of bladder spasm after transurethral laser resection of prostate.Methods According to the digital table,120 patients who diagnosed as benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) were randomly divided into four groups.The patients in combined drug group (group A) were administered rociverine tablets(10mg tid) and imrecoxib tablets (100mg bid) from the day of surgery to the day of catheter removal.The patients in rociverine tablets group (group B) were treated with rociverine tablets (10rag tid),and the patients in imrecoxib tablets group (group C) were administered imrecoxib (100mg bid) from the day of surgery to the day of catheter removal.The patients in group D were administered indometacin suppositories in anus when they felt pain.All patients were given comfortable nursing.The frequency and duration of bladder spasm,the time of bladder irrigation,time needed for washing solution to turn clear,and the time of catheter indwelling in the four groups were observed and compared.Results Compared with group D,group A,group B and group C all had statistically significant differences in the frequency and duration of bladder spasm,the time of bladder irrigation,time needed for washing solution to turn clear,and the time of catheter indwelling (Fa =9.469,Fb =13.443,Fo =12.157,Fd =26.609,Fe =33.717,Ff =30.524,Fs =100.836,Fh =89.985,P3 ＜ 0.001).These parameters were lower in group A than those in group B and group C,and the differences were statistically significant (P1 =0.030,0.002,0.012,0.003,＜ 0.001,＜ 0.001,＜ 0.001,＜ 0.001;P2 =0.030,0.004,0.035,0.001,＜ 0.001,＜ 0.001,＜ 0.001,＜ 0.001).There were no statistically significant differences between group B and group C (all P4 ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Rociverine tablets combinined with imrecoxib tablets for the prevention and treatment of bladder spasm after transurethral laser resection of prostate was effective,which was worthy of clinic application.
