ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Received on: 11/09/2018 Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide. We investigated the combined effects of celecoxib Accepted on: 22/01/2019 (CLX)–cepharanthine (CEP) on HT-29 human colorectal cancer cells. CLX at 5, 10, 20, or 40 µM in combination Available online: 18/04/2019 with CEP at 1.25, 2.5, or 5 µM displayed synergistic cytotoxic effects with a combination index <1. Combinations of 20 or 40 µM of CLX with 1.25 or 2.5 µM of CEP increased HT-29 cell accumulation at the G1 phase of the cell cycle. The combined treatments increased the levels of p21 mRNA and decreased the levels of cyclin-A2 mRNA. Their Key words: combined effect triggered significant apoptosis of HT-29 cells when compared with the effect of each drug alone. The Celecoxib, cepharanthine, apoptotic effects of the drugs were correlated with increases in the levels of mRNA for BAX and decreases in the colorectal cancer, apoptosis, levels of mRNA for Bcl-xL. The results from this study revealed that at concentrations that were sub-IC individually, cell cycle.

  • This Fact Sheet Provides Information to Patients with Eczema and Their Carers. About Topical Corticosteroids How to Apply Topic
    This fact sheet provides information to patients with eczema and their carers. About topical corticosteroids You or your child’s doctor has prescribed a topical corticosteroid for the treatment of eczema. For treating eczema, corticosteroids are usually prepared in a cream or ointment and are applied topically (directly onto the skin). Topical corticosteroids work by reducing inflammation and helping to control an over-reactive response of the immune system at the site of eczema. They also tighten blood vessels, making less blood flow to the surface of the skin. Together, these effects help to manage the symptoms of eczema. There is a range of steroids that can be used to treat eczema, each with different strengths (potencies). On the next page, the potencies of some common steroids are shown, as well as the concentration that they are usually used in cream or ointment preparations. Using a moisturiser along with a steroid cream does not reduce the effect of the steroid. There are many misconceptions about the side effects of topical corticosteroids. However these treatments are very safe and patients are encouraged to follow the treatment regimen as advised by their doctor. How to apply topical corticosteroids How often should I apply? How much should I apply? Apply 1–2 times each day to the affected area Enough cream should be used so that the of skin according to your doctor’s instructions. entire affected area is covered. The cream can then be rubbed or massaged into the Once the steroid cream has been applied, inflamed skin. moisturisers can be used straight away if needed.

  • New Rules Pertaining to the Banning of Anabolic Steroids in the Western Australian Harness Racing Industry to Be Introduced 1St September 2014
    NEW RULES PERTAINING TO THE BANNING OF ANABOLIC STEROIDS IN THE WESTERN AUSTRALIAN HARNESS RACING INDUSTRY TO BE INTRODUCED 1ST SEPTEMBER 2014 Notice is hereby given that the Board of Racing and Wagering WA have resolved that the RWWA Rules of Harness Racing 2004 be amended. In accordance with section 45 (1) (b) of the Racing and Wagering Western Australia Act 2003 the Board of Racing and Wagering WA on the 10th April 2014 resolved that these amendments be adopted accordingly into the RWWA Rules of Harness Racing. The Harness Racing Board had advised of these amendments and the RWWA Board has determined that these amendments will come into effect on 1st September 2014. The details of the relevant rules pertaining to this ban of anabolic steroids for reference can be found following this advice. There are many implications arising from the introduction of these rules, and to assist trainers and veterinarians to comply with the new rules the following explanatory statement has been prepared. Which steroids are banned under these rules? The new rules ban the use of "anabolic androgenic steroids" in Standardbred horses at any time from birth until retirement. "Anabolic androgenic steroids" include those that are currently registered in Australia by the APVMA for use in horses, such as boldenone, ethylestrenol (in Nitrotain), methandriol, nandrolone, stanozolol and testosterone. Exogenous anabolic androgenic steroids that are banned also include but are not limited to those listed in the WADA prohibited list, such as 1-androstenediol; 1-androstenedione;

  • Dorset Medicines Advisory Group
    DORSET CARDIOLOGY WORKING GROUP GUIDELINE FOR CALCIUM CHANNEL BLOCKERS IN HYPERTENSION SUMMARY The pan-Dorset cardiology working group continues to recommend the use of amlodipine (a third generation dihydropyridine calcium-channel blocker) as first choice calcium channel blocker on the pan-Dorset formulary for hypertension. Lercanidipine is second choice, lacidipine third choice and felodipine is fourth choice. This is due to preferable side effect profiles in terms of ankle oedema and relative costs of the preparations. Note: where angina is the primary indication or is a co-morbidity prescribers must check against the specific product characteristics (SPC) for an individual drug to confirm this is a licensed indication. N.B. Lacidipine and lercandipine are only licensed for use in hypertension. Chapter 02.06.02 CCBs section of the Formulary has undergone an evidence-based review. A comprehensive literature search was carried out on NHS Evidence, Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane Database, and UK Duets. This was for recent reviews or meta-analyses on calcium channel blockers from 2009 onwards (comparative efficacy and side effects) and randomised controlled trials (RCTs). REVIEW BACKGROUND Very little good quality evidence exists. No reviews, meta-analyses or RCTs were found covering all calcium channel blockers currently on the formulary. Another limitation was difficulty obtaining full text original papers for some of the references therefore having to use those from more obscure journals instead. Some discrepancies exist between classification of generations of dihydropyridine CCBs, depending upon the year of publication of the reference/authors’ interpretation. Dihydropyridine (DHP) CCBs tend to be more potent vasodilators than non-dihydropyridine (non-DHP) CCBs (diltiazem, verapamil), but the latter have greater inotropic effects.
