Asthma Search Strategies Appendix F National Clinical Guidelines Centre Draft Asthma Search strategies appendix F Clinical guideline Appendix F 19 November 2014 Draft for consultation Commissioned by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence Asthma Contents Disclaimer Healthcare professionals are expected to take NICE clinical guidelines fully into account when exercising their clinical judgement. However, the guidance does not override the responsibility of healthcare professionals to make decisions appropriate to the circumstances of each patient, in consultation with the patient and/or their guardian or carer.

Any studies added to the databases after this date (even those published prior to this date) were not included unless specifically stated in the text. We do not routinely search for electronic, ahead of print or “online early” publications . Where possible searches were limited to retrieve material published in English. Table 1: Database date parameters Database Dates searched Medline 1946—1 October 2014 Embase 1980 – 1 October 2014 (week 39) The Cochrane Library Cochrane Reviews to 2014 Issue 10 of 12 CENTRAL to 2014 Issue 9 of 12 DARE, HTA and NHSEED to 2014 Issue 3 of 4 Searches for the clinical reviews were run in Medline (OVID), Embase (OVID) and the Cochrane Library (Wiley). Searches for intervention and diagnostic studies were usually constructed using a PICO format where population (P) terms were combined with Intervention (I) and sometimes Comparison (C) terms. An intervention can be a drug, a procedure or a diagnostic test. Outcomes (O) are rarely used in search strategies for interventions. Search filters were also added to the search where appropriate. Searches for prognostic studies were usually constructed combining population terms with prognostic variable terms and sometimes outcomes. Search filters were added to the search where appropriate. Searches for the health economic reviews were run in Medline (OVID), Embase (OVID), the NHS Economic Evaluations Database (NHS EED), the Health Technology Assessment (HTA) database and the Health Economic Evaluation Database (HEED). Searches in NHS EED and HEED were constructed using population terms only. For Medline and Embase an economic filter (instead of a study type filter) was added to the same clinical search strategy.

  • Enzyme Mediated Inflammation: Epidemiology and Therapeutic Implications Parteek Prasher*
    Available online www.jocpr.com Journal of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Research, 2016, 8(9):89-100 ISSN : 0975-7384 Review Article CODEN(USA) : JCPRC5 Enzyme Mediated Inflammation: Epidemiology and Therapeutic implications Parteek Prasher* Assistant Professor of Chemistry, University of Petroleum and Energy Study, Energy acres, Uttrakhand, India ___________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT The identification of various enzymes participating in the arachidonic acid metabolism and recognition of inflammatory metabolites led to systematic studies for the development of anti-inflammatory drugs. Starting with the stimulatory role of phospholipases to release arachidonic acid from phospholipids, over-expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and lipoxygenase (LOX) enzymes cause more than normal production of the respective metabolites. Excessive production of prostaglandins and leukotrienes leads to the manifestation of acute to chronic inflammation in humans. The consequent ailments are expressed in the form of asthma, atherosclerosis, irritable bowel syndrome, arthritis and cancer. Targeting the induced isoform of cyclooxygenase viz. cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and 5-LOX enzyme has opened new aspects for capping the enzyme mediated inflammation. A number of such aspects have been discussed in this comprehensive review. Keywords: COX; Cyclooxygenase; LOX; Lipoxygenase; Arachidonic acid ___________________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION According to a recent survey of the World Health Organization (WHO), cancer causes around 13% of the total deaths worldwide and if it continues rising, it is estimated to cause 13.1 million deaths in 2030 [1]. Moreover, the reason for about 15% of the total cancer deaths has been reported [2] to be associated with chronic inflammation. Hence, an obvious way out to minimize cancer deaths is to put control over the inflammatory conditions.

  • Cyclooxygenase
    COX Cyclooxygenase Cyclooxygenase (COX), officially known as prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase (PTGS), is an enzyme that is responsible for formation of important biological mediators called prostanoids, including prostaglandins, prostacyclin and thromboxane. Pharmacological inhibition of COX can provide relief from the symptoms of inflammation and pain. Drugs, like Aspirin, that inhibit cyclooxygenase activity have been available to the public for about 100 years. Two cyclooxygenase isoforms have been identified and are referred to as COX-1 and COX-2. Under many circumstances the COX-1 enzyme is produced constitutively (i.e., gastric mucosa) whereas COX-2 is inducible (i.e., sites of inflammation). Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), such as aspirin and ibuprofen, exert their effects through inhibition of COX. The main COX inhibitors are the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). www.MedChemExpress.com 1 COX Inhibitors, Antagonists, Activators & Modulators (+)-Catechin hydrate (-)-Catechin Cat.
