Effect of Stenochlaena palustris extract on circulating endothelial cellsMarmota caligata induced fever
Fever is increased temperature regulation of the body. In the process is according indirect which increased of free radicals, as anion superoxide (•O2) and will trigger oxidative stress happened. Oxidative stress will effect in endothelial damaged. A celluler marker of damage the endothelium is increased number of Circulating Endothelial Cells (CEC). The aim of this research is to valuated the influence of watery plant kalakai extract (Stenochlaena palustris)to number of Circulating Endothelial Cells in Marmota caligata had been fever and to calculated the average of CEC. The research is true experimental study, with Posttest-Only with Control Group Design, with 2 control group and 5 treatments group of each 4 Marmota caligata. The CEC is measured by Hladovec method. Data was analyzed by using Kruskal-Wallis test with confidence rate at 95 %. The analyzed results got p = 0.001 (p < 0.05) means there be a significant different between treatment group. From the result, can be conclude that the present of watery plant kalakai extract is decreasing CEC in plasma of Marmota caligatafever induced.Key words: Fever, Circulating Endothelial Cells, Stenochlaena palustri
Cox selectivity and chemical subgroup of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and frequency of spontaneous reporting of hypersensitivity reactions
Background/Introduction: Use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) has been associated with many adverse events, including hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs), such as angioedema and urticaria. However, no studies have investigated whether cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme selectivity and/or chemical subgroups are associated with a difference in HSRs. Objective/Aim: to describe and compare the frequency of HSRs among NSAIDs based on cyclooxygenase selectivity and chemical subgroups. Methods: A case/non-case study was performed using data from the World Health Organization global database of Individual Case Safety Report (ICSR), VigiBase, containing over 13 million ICSRs submitted by the participating member states enrolled under WHO's international drug monitoring program by June 2016. This study was nested among ICSRs where NSAIDs were a suspected drug. Cases were ICSRs mentioning HSRs (urticaria, angioedema, anaphylactic shock, anaphylactic reaction, anaphylactoid shock, and anaphylactoid reaction), whereas non-cases were all ICSRs without HSRs. Based on the ratio of inhibitory concentration 80% of COX-1/COX-2, NSAIDs were categorized into coxibs, non-coxib NSAIDs with COX-2 preference, NSAIDs with poor selectivity, and NSAIDs with unknown selectivity. Only ICSRs with complete information on age and sex, and NSAIDs with first market authorization from 1978 onward were included. RORs and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) to assess the association between NSAIDs and the reporting of HSRs were calculated using logistic regression analysis. Results: We identified 16,289 HSR cases and 160,319 non-cases among ICSRs involving NSAIDs. Non-coxib NSAIDs with COX-2 preference, NSAIDs with poor selectivity, and NSAIDs with unknown selectivity were all associated with an increased reporting of HSRs (age- and sexadjusted ROR 1.70, 95% CI 1.61-1.79, age- and sex-adjusted 2.19, 95% CI 2.11-2.77, and age- and sex-adjusted 1.26, 95% CI: 1.03-1.54, respectively) compared to coxibs. Conclusion: HSRs were more often reported for NSAIDs with poor selectivity, non-coxib NSAID with COX-2 preference, and NSAIDs with unknown selectivity compared to coxibs
