Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of subcutaneous morphine for managing pain crises resulting from various causes in cancer patients attended by the Pain Clinic in the immediate care area of the National Cancer Institute in Mexico City. Materials and Methods: This study was analytical, observational, retrospective, and descriptive. The oncology patients treated in the immediate care area for pain crises between August 1, 2020, and July 1, 2023, made up our study population. We documented the management of pain crises for patients who needed subcutaneous morphine treatment. Results: Considering a reduction in Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) score >30% as effective and a reduction <30% as ineffective, 566 patients didn’t require an additional dose of subcutaneous morphine to control the pain crisis; 11 patients reported a decrease of <30%. A total of 24 patients needed a second rescue. Among this group, only 5 responded well to the second morphine rescue; in the remaining 19 patients, the rescue was deemed ineffective if the NRS decreased by at least 30%. Only 5 individuals experienced moderate pain, and only one patient reported severe pain. The variables were compared using the non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test with significance <0.05. Consequently, it may be said that there is a statistically significant difference between the first and subsequent NRS values obtained. Conclusion: For oncology patients treated by the Pain Clinic in the immediate care section of the National Cancer Institute in Mexico City, subcutaneous morphine is beneficial in managing pain crises of different origins. Keywords: Morphine, Subcutaneous Pain crises, Efficacy, Numeric rating scale

Many diseases suffer from drug resistance and nucleic acid cargo delivery. To optimize pharmaceutics and to enhance their efficiency of cellular uptake, DNA nanomaterial tetrahedrons, owing to their precise control in size, shape, excellent biocompatibility and cellular permeability, reduced cytotoxicity, good stability, ease synthesis and multiple sites for targeting design, have attracted attention for targeting cargos delivery. Their nanostructural binding efficiency with many cargos depends on their electrostatic attractions among free electrons of phosphate oxygen, sugar and base nitrogen. Self-assembled DNA tetrahedrons (DTs) alone also can regulate cellular processes to some extent, especially, on migration, differentiation, proliferation and autophagy, and their modifications with the attachment of aptamers, peptides, nucleic acids, antibodies, different low-molecular-weight drugs and other components, make them a novel targeted delivery system as effective nanomedicine. This review demonstrates the current progress of DTs towards their synthesis, characterization, biomedical applications, biodistribution, elimination and toxicity as possible nanoparticulated delivery system.

Introduction: The cholesterol hypothesis had been kept alive for decades by reviewers who used statistics that excluded the results from unsuccessful trials and ignored numerous contradictory observations. High dietary cholesterol intake had been associated with development of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and mortality, for over several decades, without a direct link between the CVD and high serum cholesterol level. Hence, people avoided healthy cholesterol-rich diets due to the fear of developing CVD. The relationship between elevated plasma cholesterol and CVD and criteria for appropriate methods for screening patients with elevated cholesterol had remained a source of medical debates. Lack of decrease in overall mortality rates in patients without clinical coronary disease in whom aggressive lowering of cholesterol was achieved might have contributed to the lack of consensus on this most important issue. Methodology: With information derived from search engines, such as Elsevier, Springer, PubMed, Science Direct, Medline, Google Scholar and a library search for articles published in peer-reviewed journals. Results: Several research results showed that association between total serum cholesterol, its components and CVD is weak, absent or inverse implying that consuming healthy high cholesterol diets may not be harmful to health. Conclusion: This review provides evidence contrasting the links between elevated plasma cholesterol and CVD, and demonstrated that elevated cholesterol concentrations, rather, improve quality of life and life expectancy. In addition, most prevalent methods for cholesterol quantification in biological samples and foods, utilizing new technologies, such as Ambient Ionization Mass Spectrometry are summarized, along with other components of cholesterol. Keywords: Cholesterol, CVD, Quantification

Feretia apodanthera (Rubiaceae) is used in traditional medicine for the treatment of various pathologies. Its leaves are chewed and swallowed to treat stomach aches, sleep disorders, etc. With the aim of improving the extraction method in order to obtain high contents of phytochemical compounds and good antioxidant activity, this study aimed to highlight the extraction and lyophilization conditions of two extracts (aqueous and hydro-ethanolic) leaves of Feretia apodanthera. An aqueous and hydro-ethanolic extraction was carried out from the leaf powder of Feretia apodanthera, after a maceration plan (mass/volume ratio and extraction time). The extracts obtained were freeze-dried (flask size, filling volume and freeze-drying time) in order to determine the optimal extraction conditions. A phytochemical screening of the extracts with extreme yields of different solvents was carried out by TLC, which led to the determination of certains compounds of interest and the evaluation of the antioxidant activity by the DPPH and FRAP method. The optimal maceration conditions were 02 hours and m/V ratio of 1/20 for the aqueous extract and those of the ethanolic extract were 30 min and m/V ratio of 1/20. The optimal freeze-drying conditions were 60h and a 500ml flask 1/3 filled. The presence of flavonoids, tannins, saponosides, coumarins, triterpenes and sterols has been highlighted. The phenolics compounds contents of hydro-ethanolic lyophilisates were higher than those of aqueous lyophilisates. There was no statistical difference between the antioxidant activity of the different extracts. The optimal conditions will serve as a standard for the production of the extract necessary for the formulation.

Dyslipidemia is closely related to the process of lipid peroxidation. In the non-enzymatic peroxidation process of arachidonic acid, an esterification process occurs and produces a metabolite in the form of isoprostane. The most common isoprostane found is F2-isoprostane. In traditional medicine, breadfruit leaves (Artocarvus altilis) have been widely used due to their antioxidant compounds, such as flavonoids, phenols, tannins, saponins, and other secondary metabolites. This study aims to evaluate the activity of breadfruit leaf ethyl acetate extract in improving the lipid profile and F2-isoprostane in dyslipidemia-induced Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus). This study was an experimental study with a pretest-posttest control group design with two treatment groups: fenofibrate 1.65 mg (P1) and breadfruit leaf ethyl acetate extract (760 mg) (P2) for 28 days. Total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL, LDL, and F2-isoprostane levels were measured before and after treatment expressed in mg/dL. The data were analyzed using a parametric t-paired and t-unpaired test with a 95% confidence level. The study found that breadfruit leaf extract was better than fenofibrate at lowering total cholesterol (pre 172.41 ± 4.93; post 101.24 ± 2.09), triglycerides (pre 172.41 ± 4.93; post 101.24 ± 2.09), LDL (pre 95.78 ± 8.00; post 12.03 ± 10.06), F2-Isoprostane (pre 924.86±10.40; post 432.99±14.17), and raising HDL (pre 102.29 ± 10.40; post 143.89 ± 5.99).

血脂异常与脂质过氧化过程密切相关。在花生四烯酸的非酶过氧化过程中,会发生酯化反应,产生异前列烷形式的代谢物。最常见的异前列烷是 F2-异前列烷。在传统医学中,面包果叶(Artocarvus altilis)因其抗氧化化合物(如类黄酮、酚、单宁、皂苷和其他次生代谢物)而被广泛使用。本研究旨在评估面包树叶乙酸乙酯提取物在改善血脂异常诱导的 Wistar 大鼠(Rattus norvegicus)血脂状况和 F2-异前列腺素方面的活性。本研究是一项实验研究,采用前测-后测对照组设计,分为两个治疗组:非诺贝特 1.65 毫克(P1)和面包树叶乙酸乙酯提取物(760 毫克)(P2),为期 28 天。测量治疗前后的总胆固醇、甘油三酯、高密度脂蛋白、低密度脂蛋白和 F2-异前列腺素水平,单位为毫克/分升。数据采用参数 t 配对检验和 t 非配对检验进行分析,置信度为 95%。研究发现,在降低总胆固醇(治疗前为 172.41 ± 4.93;治疗后为 101.24 ± 2.09)、甘油三酯(治疗前为 172.41 ± 4.93; post 101.24 ± 2.09), LDL (pre 95.78 ± 8.00; post 12.03 ± 10.06), F2-Isoprostane (pre 924.86 ± 10.40; post 432.99 ± 14.17), and raise HDL (pre 102.29 ± 10.40; post 143.89 ± 5.99).总之,在血脂异常引起的动物试验中,乙酸乙酯提取物在改善血脂状况和降低F2-异前列腺素方面优于非诺贝特。关键词:面包树叶;血脂异常;F2-异前列烷;非诺贝特;血脂概况;总胆固醇

In the non-enzymatic peroxidation process of arachidonic acid, an esterification process occurs and produces a metabolite in the form of isoprostane. The most common isoprostane found is F2-isoprostane. In traditional medicine, breadfruit leaves (Artocarvus altilis) have been widely used due to their antioxidant compounds, such as flavonoids, phenols, tannins, saponins, and other secondary metabolites. This study aims to evaluate the activity of breadfruit leaf ethyl acetate extract in improving the lipid profile and F2-isoprostane in dyslipidemia-induced Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus). This study was an experimental study with a pretest-posttest control group design with two treatment groups: fenofibrate 1.65 mg (P1) and breadfruit leaf ethyl acetate extract (760 mg) (P2) for 28 days. Total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL, LDL, and F2-isoprostane levels were measured before and after treatment expressed in mg/dL. The data were analyzed using a parametric t-paired and t-unpaired test with a 95% confidence level. The study found that breadfruit leaf extract was better than fenofibrate at lowering total cholesterol (pre 172.41 ± 4.93; post 101.24 ± 2.09), triglycerides (pre 172.41 ± 4.93; post 101.24 ± 2.09), LDL (pre 95.78 ± 8.00; post 12.03 ± 10.06), F2-Isoprostane (pre 924.86±10.40; post 432.99±14.17), and raising HDL (pre 102.29 ± 10.40; post 143.89 ± 5.99).

The use of antibiotic molecules on poultry farms, while justified by their efficacy, must be carried out rationally, as their uncontrolled use modifies the ecology of bacteria and thus contributes to the selection of multi-resistant bacteria. The aim of this study was to carry out a descriptive survey of antibiotic use on laying hen farms in the sub-prefecture of Friguiagbé (Kindia). To achieve this, surveys were carried out among veterinary service managers, poultry farmers and sales outlets. At the end of our work, we identified the existence of two (2) veterinary pharmaceutical supply establishments. Establishments selling veterinary medicines revealed that Tetracycline is the most widely marketed antibiotic family. The most widely used antibiotic molecules are Tetracolivit and Oxytetracycline (26%); Neoxyvital (13%); Alfaceryl and Panteryl (8%); Limoxin (5%); Enrofloxacin, TTS, Colisol and Amoxillin (3%), which are used either for preventive or curative purposes.
