Effects of analgesic delivery on pelvic floor function of primiparous women.

This was an original article, and the objective of this study was to clarify the short-term effects of analgesic delivery on the pelvic floor function of primiparous women. Three hundred primiparas who delivered vaginally in The Affiliated Hospital of Kangda College of Nanjing Medical University from January 2022 to July 2022 were enrolled, and were divided into control and intervention groups. The control accepted traditional delivery without special analgesic intervention, while the intervention group accepted intraspinal block analgesia at the time of delivery.

The Global Bioequivalence Harmonisation Initiative (GBHI): Report of EUFEPS/AAPS fourth conference.

This report provides a summary of the 4 International Conference on Global Bioequivalence Harmonisation Initiative (GBHI) that was co-organised by the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Sciences (EUFEPS) and the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS). The goal of the GBHI conference is to offer the most informative and up to date science and regulatory thinking of bioequivalence (BE) in global drug development to support the intended process of a scientific global harmonisation. The workshop provided an open forum for pharmaceutical scientists from academia, industry and regulatory agencies to discuss three BE topics of interest, (a) BE assessment for long-acting injectables and implants, (b) necessity of fed BE studies for immediate-release products and (c) procedures to demonstrate equivalence of orally inhaled products.

Evaluation of Aspirin and Clopidogrel resistance in patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome by using Adenosine Diposphate Test and Aspirin Test.

Objectives: To evaluate Aspirin and Clopidogrel resistance/non-responders in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) by using adenosine diposphate and aspirin tests.

Methodology: In the study patients with ACS loaded with 300 mg of clopidogrel and 300 mg aspirin and patients on stable daily dose of 75 mg of clopidogrel (more than 3 days) underwent PCI. Response to clopidogrel and Aspirin was assessed by Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP) Test (20 µmol/L) and Aspirin Test (Acetyl Acid) (ASP) 20 µmol/L, respectively, using the Multiplate Platelet Function Analyzer (Dynabyte Medical, Munich, Germany).

Effects of resveratrol on endothelial progenitor cells and their contributions to reendothelialization in intima-injured rats.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of resveratrol on endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) activities in vitro and on the mobilization of circulating EPCs, and reendothelialization in balloon-injured aorta of rats. After being isolated, cultured, and characterized, human EPCs were stimulated with resveratrol. We found that a low concentration of resveratrol (1 microM) led to significant enhanced activities of proliferation, migration, and adhesion, as well as promoting endothelial nitric acid synthetase (eNOS) expression in EPCs, whereas a high concentration (60 microM) inhibited the aforementioned functions and eNOS expression.
