Nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus in children with grass pollen-induced allergic rhinitis and the effect of polyvalent mechanical bacterial lysate immunostimulation on carriage status: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: Numerous studies indicate that Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) colonizing the nasal cavity plays a role in the pathogenesis of allergic rhinitis (AR). This bacterium is able to produce a variety of toxins with superantigenic properties that can exacerbate allergic inflammation.

Polyvalent Mechanical Bacterial Lysate Administration Improves the Clinical Course of Grass Pollen-Induced Allergic Rhinitis in Children: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Recent studies highlight the immunoregulatory potential of bacterial lysates, indicating their potential use in the prevention and treatment of allergic diseases.

Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of polyvalent mechanical bacterial lysates (PMBLs) in children with grass pollen-induced allergic rhinitis.

Methods: Seventy children with seasonal allergic rhinitis were enrolled to this study and were randomly assigned to the PMBL and placebo groups.

Bioaccessibility of phenolic compounds, lutein, and bioelements of preparations containing in artificial digestive juices.

Beijerinck is a spherical, green alga belonging to the genus and family Chlorellaceae. It has high nutritional value and shows multiple biological effects. Dietary supplements that contain extracts of are sold in the form of tablets, capsules, powders, and aqueous solutions.

THE PROCESS OF MASS TRANSFER ON THE SOLID-LIQUID BOUNDARY LAYER DURING THE RELEASE OF DICLOFENAC SODIUM AND PAPAVERINE HYDROCHLORIDE FROM TABLETS IN A PADDLE APPARATUS.

The release study of diclofenac sodium (DIC) and papaverine hydrochloride (PAP) from two formulations of the tablets in the paddle apparatus using different rotation speeds to characterize the process of mass transfer on the solid-liquid boundary layer was carried out. The dissolution process of active substances was described by values of mass transfer coefficients, the diffusion boundary layer thickness and dimensionless numbers (Sh and Re). The values of calculated parameters showed that the release of DIC and PAP from tablets comprising potato starch proceeded faster than from tablets containing HPMC and microcrystalline cellulose.

DISSOLUTION PROPERTIES AND KINETIC STUDY OF SULFADIMIDINE AND TRIMETHOPRIM TABLETS CONTAINING FOUR DIFFERENT SUPERDISINTEGRANTS.

The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the effect of four superdisintegrants such as croscarmellose sodium (Ac-Di-Sol), crospovidone (Kollidon CL and with smaller particle sizes Kollidon CL-F), sodium starch glycolate (Explotab) in combination with β-lactose and microcrystalline cellulose (Avicel PH-102) as base excipients exhibiting properties of directly compressed tablets and increasing the disintegration and the dissolution rate of sulfadimidine sodium (SDD-Na) and trimethoprim (TMP). All tablets were prepared by direct compression method and superdisintegrants were used at 2% for all formulations. The tablets were evaluated with regard to uniformity of weight, hardness, friability, drug content, disintegration time and dissolution properties.

PHARMACOKINETICS OF DICLOFENAC SODIUM AND PAPAVERINE HYDROCHLORIDE AFTER ORAL ADMINISTRATION OF TABLETS TO RABBITS.

Non-compartmental pharmacokinetic analysis of diclofenac sodium (DIC) and papaverine hydrochloride (PAP) after oral administration of composed tablets to rabbits was developed. HPLC method for determination of DIC and PAP in rabbit plasma was developed and validated. Chromatographic separation of DIC, PAP and the IS was achieved on a Zorbax SB C18 5-µm column (150 mm x 4.

[Production and assessing release of imipramine and magnesium from tablets].

Background: In the pharmaceutical technology there is a trend to produce tablets composed of several medicinal substances to increase therapeutic effect and reduce the frequency of drug administration. In the literature there are reports concerning pharmacological studies in which a potentiation of the effects has been observed after a co-administration of antidepressant imipramine and magnesium. Currently, there is no formulation on the market comprising imipramine and magnesium, therefore, it was decided to produce uncoated tablets.

[Application of β-cyclodextrin in the formulation of ODT tablets containing ibuprofen].

Background: Oral disintegrating tablet (ODT) dissolves or disintegrates in saliva and then it is swallowed. Diluent in direct compression formulation has a dual role: it increases bulk of the dosage form and it promotes binding of the constituent particles of the formulation. Hence, selection of diluent is important in tablets produced by direct compression method.

Release kinetics of papaverine hydrochloride from tablets with different excipients.

The influence of excipients on the disintegration times of tablets and the release of papaverine hydrochloride (PAP) from tablets were studied. Ten different formulations of tablets with PAP were prepared by direct powder compression. Different binders, disintegrants, fillers, and lubricants were used as excipients.

[Modern polymers in matrix tablets technology].

Matrix tablets are the most popular method of oral drug administration, and polymeric materials have been used broadly in matrix formulations to modify and modulate drug release rate. The main goal of the system is to extend drug release profiles to maintain a constant in vivo plasma drug concentration and a consistent pharmacological effect. Polymeric matrix tablets offer a great potential as oral controlled drug delivery systems.

The effect of excipients on the release kinetics of diclofenac sodium and papaverine hydrochloride from composed tablets.

For increased analgesic effect, new composed tablets containing diclofenac sodium (DIC) with an addition of papaverine hydrochloride (PAP) were prepared to investigate the mechanism of release of the active substances from tablets with different excipients in eight different formulations. To detect the possible interactions between active substances and excipients differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used. A shift of the melting point and enthalpy values of the physical mixtures of tablets components suggested a kind of interaction between components in certain formulations, however, the tabletting process was not disturbed in any of them.

Polysaccharide formulation for improvement of racemic vitamin E bioavailability.

The relative bioavailability of polysaccharide--racemic vitamin E preparation in comparison with a commercial product was assessed in a kinetic study of plasma alpha-tocopherol in rabbits. Six male rabbits were used in a cross-over design. Alpha-Tocopherol levels were determined by the fluorometric method.
