Clobetasol propionate solid lipid nanoparticles cream for effective treatment of eczema: formulation and clinical implications 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
In the present study clobetasol propionate (Cp) was loaded as solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN), incorporated it in suitable cream base and evaluated in vitro and its performance clinically against equivalent marketed formulation. Cp was incorporated into SLN by high-pressure homogenization technique and characterized for mean particle size, surface morphology and per cent drug entrapment. Drug permeation and skin uptake studies from Cp creams were carried out in a validated Franz static diffusion cell across human cadaver skin (HCS). Sixteen chronic eczema patients were enrolled in a controlled double blind clinical trial. Optimized Cp-SLN was smooth and spherical under scanning electron microscopy; with average particle size of 177 nm and per cent drug entrapment of 92.05%. In vitro permeation studies revealed lower mean flux value and higher skin uptake of Cp from Cp-SLN cream compared to marketed drug cream. Both formulations were found to be responsive to manifestations of chronic eczema, while Cp-SLN cream prepared in this investigation registered significant improvement in therapeutic response (1.9 fold; inflammation, 1.2 fold; itching) in terms of per cent reduction in degree of inflammation and itching against marketed cream. Further clinical trials are required to ascertain the efficiency of the present formulation. 相似文献

Seventy-six digital and periungual warts in 40 patients were treated topically with cantharidin, a potent blistering agent. The material, dissolved in equal parts of acetone and collodion, was applied directly to the warts. Occlusion facilitated blistering. No pretreatment was required. The warts were re-treated at weekly intervals until clinically cured.Fifty-six per cent of digital warts and 33 per cent of periungual warts cleared after a single application of cantharidin. Few required more than three treatments. Observation was continued for more than six months in more than half of the cases. Cure was lasting in about 70 per cent of the cases in which the long term result was known.Cantharidin ranks with liquid nitrogen in effectiveness, but it is painless to apply and does not cause scarring. For these reasons it is especially useful in children.The main disadvantage is pain and tenderness at the treated site for two to four days in some patients. This can be avoided by careful application of the drug. Occasionally new warts appear at the edge of the cantharidin blister. They are best treated by curettage and desiccation. 相似文献

A controlled study of 101 patients indicated that a combination of amphetamine and Rauwolfia was effective in the treatment of prepartum nausea and vomiting. Good to excellent results were obtained in 53 (83 per cent) of 64 patients who received the combination. Five patients reported fair results; six were not benefited by the treatment. Only five of a control group of 37 patients who received placebos reported good results. In addition to relief of the symptoms of nausea and vomiting, concomitant emotional disturbances, notably anxiety and depression, were alleviated by the drug combination. 相似文献

The author report clinical experience with 212 cases of mammary cancer metastatic to bone, in 186 of which radiotherapy was given, and in 26 steroid hormone therapy.At least 70 per cent of patients with bone metastasis from breast cancer were relieved of pain by adequate roentgen therapy, the relief lasting for most of the survival time in many instances.About 25 per cent of patients had recalcification or reossification of bony lesions with roentgen therapy; while dramatic, this is not always an indication that relief of pain will continue or that survival time will be lengthened.If and when adequate radiotherapy has not been effective or cannot be administered (for example, in a patient with extremely widespread metastasis, or one residing at a considerable distance from radiotherapeutic service) steroid hormone therapy in adequate dosage is frequently beneficial. From 40 per cent to 75 per cent of patients with bone metastases from breast cancer are relieved of pain by steroid hormone therapy. In about 15 per cent of cases recalcification of the lesion occurs.Effective roentgen therapy may usually be given in a relatively brief period of time (one to two weeks). Effective steroid hormone therapy usually requires from 12 to 24 weeks.Complications of steroid hormone therapy are numerous. Some patients are made considerably worse by such therapy. These complications may only be controlled by reduction or discontinuation of the hormones. For this reason, it is recommended that irradiation always be used as the initial method of palliation. 相似文献

A trial of methyldopa in hypertension was conducted in 60 patients for a mean time of 9.4 months. Initially, four different dosages of methyldopa were studied and blood pressure was significantly lowered in the supine and standing positions. Standing blood pressure was significantly reduced more than supine. An average of 5.2 visits passed before maintenance blood pressure was obtained. There was no significent evidence of deterioration during the duration of this study. Side effects were mild. Only two patients voluntarily requested discontinuance of this study. Tolerance to the drug occurred and approximately 50 per cent of the patients no longer had a significant blood pressure reduction to methyldopa alone by the end of the study. Methyldopa appears to be a significant addition to the drug therapy of hypertension. 相似文献

Long acting, single injection caudal anesthesia with mepivacaine was studied in 1,208 obstetrical cases.A 1 per cent solution was used in 671 patients and compared with a 1.5 per cent concentration in 537. No remarkable differences were found between the two groups. The 1 per cent solution provided relief of labor discomfort for from 60 to 180 minutes with an average of 110 minutes. In contrast, the 1.5 per cent solution provided an average of 115 minutes with a range of 80 to 210 minutes.A total volume of 30 ml of anesthetic agent yielded anesthesia to a level of the tenth thoracic vertebra or higher in 91 per cent of patients.Significant alterations in blood pressure were uncommon. About 1 per cent of patients required a vasopressor because of a drop in systolic blood pressure below 80 mm of mercury. Another 8 per cent had a drop of over 20 points in systolic pressure but from high enough levels that they did not require a vasopressor.Toxic effects similar to those of lidocaine were found in slightly more than 1 per cent of cases.This anesthesia requires a higher incidence of operative intervention for delivery. 相似文献

A flavored solution containing 80 mg. of theophylline and 3 cc. of ethyl alcohol per 15 cc. was given orally to 31 patients with acute asthma to terminate the attack. Thirty patients with moderate to severe chronic asthma were alternated for three or four weeks on daily multiple doses of either the theophylline solution or a placebo.In the acute cases three-second Vital Capacity increased by 33.8 per cent and Maximal Breathing Capacity by 30.2 per cent in one hour after taking 60 cc. to 75 cc. of the theophylline solution. When placebos were given, both measures of lung function declined during the first half hour.Seventy-one and a half per cent of patients with acute cases felt moderate to complete relief of symptoms. In persons with chronic asthma the regular use of the theophylline solution did not change the frequency of asthma in most cases, but it decreased the severity in 59 per cent of cases. The values for three-second Vital Capacity and Maximal Breathing Capacity rose only a little.Gastric irritation was noted in one-third of the chronic cases and one-fourth of the acute cases. This could be reduced by appropriate measures. 相似文献

Clinical and bacteriological efficacies of vancomycin (Edicin, LEK) in the treatment of 17 patients with wound infection and 13 patients with thermal affections were studied. The clinical efficacy in the group of the patients with purulent wounds of the soft tissues amounted to 94.1 per cent and that in the patients with thermal affections was 92.3 per cent. The bacteriological effect was recorded in 86.6 per cent of the patients with purulent wounds of the soft tissues and in 69.3 per cent of the patients with burn infections. The drug intolerability was observed in two cases. 相似文献

In over 400 treatments with procaine intravenously, moderate to good improvement was noted in about 60 per cent of patients with osteoarthritis and radiculitis. Definite improvement after a single treatment was noted occasionally, but more often relief was not obtained until six to eight treatments had been given. Symptoms due to osteoarthritic changes in peripheral joints did not respond as well as did those due to spinal arthritis.Curare relieves some of the pain of arthritis due to muscle spasm, but does not bring improvement in motion of the small joints, such as those of the fingers.Preliminary experience with a new synthetic drug, 3-ortho-toloxy-1, 2-propanediol (Tolserol®), which produces muscular relaxation differing from that induced by curare, suggests further clinical trial.Intra-articular acidification by injection relieved pain in about 50 per cent of patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. 相似文献

A new skeletal muscle relaxant, methocarbamol, was used in the treatment of 38 patients with a variety of severe neurological disorders and skeletal muscle spasm states.Eighty-two per cent of the patients studied obtained a beneficial result ranging from excellent to fair.Mild side effects such as drowsiness were observed in five patients, mild weakness in three patients and excessive perspiration in one. In two of the five patients who complained of drowsiness, it disappeared upon reduction of dosage and did not reappear when original dosage was reinstituted. 相似文献

A clinical evaluation of phenylbutazone and Butapyrin(R) (a mixture of phenylbutazone and aminopyrine) was made in 409 patients who had a variety of rheumatic diseases. Preliminary European claims were substantiated.In gout a specific favorable effect was brought about by phenylbutazone alone. Effects equivalent to the previously reported favorable response to Butapyrin (Irgapyrin) were observed when its constituent phenylbutazone was used alone. The drug had a suppressive effect in a high percentage of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, arthritis with psoriasis and mixed arthritis (rheumatoid arthritis plus osteoarthritis). Favorable effect in peritendinitis of the shoulders, osteoporosis of the spine and acute lumbosacral strain also was noted. Toxicity resulted in discontinuance of medication in 10 per cent of patients with each drug. Manifestations of toxicity generally included fluid retention, nausea and rash, but there were several instances of transitory leukopenia and anemia. There was one instance of agranulocytosis with Butapyrin but none with phenylbutazone.dagger Aggravation of peptic ulcer occurred in ten patients with hemorrhage in two. Generally the toxicity was of a low order as compared with that of other drugs having an antirheumatic effect. 相似文献

Treatment of infectious complications with ciprofloxacin in 65 patients provided good and satisfactory results in 67.7 and 20.0 per cent of the cases, respectively. The drug was efficient in sepsis, urogenital infections, respiratory infections and postoperative purulent complications. Ciprofloxacin showed a broad antibacterial spectrum. 96.3 per cent of the isolates belonging to aerobic organisms causing purulent inflammatory processes, including those with high antibiotic resistance levels, such as Pseudomonas spp., Proteus spp., Klebsiella tribe and Staphylococcus aureus were sensitive to the drug. In its antibacterial spectrum ciprofloxacin was similar to ofloxacin. The advantage of ciprofloxacin is its possible use not only orally but also intravenously. Adverse reactions to ciprofloxacin were observed in 5 (7.7 per cent) out of the 65 patients. In two cases discontinuation of the drug use was required. The use of ciprofloxacin in treatment of infectious complications in oncological patients is promising. 相似文献

It is possible to safely lower the basal metabolism of patients suffering from severe cardiac disease by administering multiple small doses of radioiodine in order to achieve symptomatic relief.From the present study, multiple small doses of I131 appeared to be as effective as single or multiple large doses of this material and complications such as thyroiditis, temporary thyrotoxicosis and bone marrow depression were almost always avoided. No damage to the parathyroid glands or the recurrent laryngeal nerve was observed. No radiation sickness developed after therapy.A scintigram of the thyroid gland was useful in determining the size, shape and function of the thyroid gland before and during radioiodine treatment and helped to determine the need for additional treatment. In order to prevent the distressing symptoms of the myxedema state, desiccated thyroid was administered when necessary.In the series of 278 euthyroid patients with severe cardiac disease who were treated with radioactive iodine, results were excellent in 35 per cent of cases and good in 44 per cent. In 21 per cent there was no improvement. 相似文献

The results of administration of cholestyramine to 19 patients for periods of two to 21 months are reported.All patients consistently taking the drug obtained a significant reduction in the serum cholesterol. The average reduction was 26 per cent and the range was from 16 to 52 per cent.Cholestyramine acts as a bile acid sequestering resin, causing an increased loss of bile salts (cholates) in the stool. The drug acts by increasing the normal excretory pathway for cholesterol. 相似文献

The efficacy of bleomycetin or bleomycin A5 was studied in 128 patients with different malignant neoplasms. The antibiotic was used as a systemic or intracavitary chemotherapeutic agent. Bleomycetin was effective in 75-80, 81.8, 58.3, 70 and 50 per cent of the cases with disseminated derminogenic tumor of the testicle, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, cancer of the penis, carcinoma of the skin and lymphogranulomatosis, respectively. When used intracavitarily the drug was effective in 41.2 per cent of the patients with cancer of the ovaries and lungs, teratoblastoma of the ovaries, cancer of the mammary gland and sarcoma of the soft tissues. Hyperthermia and focal hyperkeratosis as the adverse reactions were observed in 40.6 and 5.4 per cent of the patients, respectively. No toxicity with respect to the lungs was registered. 相似文献

A harmless acid detergent douche solution based on known physiologic and chemical factors was used in clinical trial on 104 patients having leukorrhea of various causes.When used alone or as an adjunct to other forms of therapy there was a favorable response in 81 per cent of patients with infections who were followed.In non-infectious leukorrhea there was probably no shortening of healing; however, there was effective relief of symptoms in 84 per cent of those who were followed.This acid detergent douche solution may have a wide range of use. 相似文献

A study was made of records of the 232 reported cases of tetanus in California, from 1953 through 1958. Cases occurred in 30 of California's 58 counties. Two-thirds of the patients lived in suburban and urban areas. Two-thirds of the cases occurred in persons over the age of 20 years. The incidence was twice as high in males as in females. Forty-seven per cent of the patients died, with the highest death rates being in persons over the age of 40 years.Sixty-three per cent of the injuries associated with these 232 cases occurred in the home environment and 17 per cent at the place of employment.Ninety-one per cent of the patients had never been immunized with tetanus toxoid, or if they had been immunized, had not received the booster injections necessary to maintain effective immunity. Nine per cent gave a history of having had one or more injections of tetanus toxoid within five years. 相似文献
