Recently, H. pylori infection rate has decreased and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs including aspirin) induced ulcers have increased more and more with aging in Japan. Pathological and clinical conditions of NSAIDs ulcer are different from that of H. pylori-related peptic ulcer. In other words, main pathologic condition of NSAIDs ulcer is not only gastric acid secretion but also destruction of defense mechanisms of upper gastrointestinal mucosa, because NSAIDs inhibit both cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 and COX-2 which block production of prostaglandins, consequently resulting in impairing gastroduodenal protective factors. Moreover, it is not rare that NSAIDs ulcer has serious complications such as bleeding and/or perforation. These should be paid attention in NSAIDs users in routine practice.

Tolerance to the antinociceptive effects of opioids is a major concern. Studies have shown that chronic use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAIDs) causes significant tolerance and cross-tolerance to morphine. Chronic NSAIDs use can increase the risk of certain diseases, such as peptic ulcers, and exacerbate others, like heart failure.

Objectives: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common rheumatic disease in children. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and intra-articular corticosteroid injections are first-line therapy for oligoarticular JIA. NSAIDs Adverse events (AEs) include gastrointestinal ulcers/bleeding and impaired renal function.

Background: Anastomotic ulcers (AU) at the gastroenterostomy are a common postoperative complication after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB). Possible risk factors for ulcer formation include active smoking, the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, increased tension or ischemia at the anastomosis, or factors that increase the acid secretion of the gastric pouch. Therefore, a longer gastric pouch may increase risk of AU formation after LRYGB.

The 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) agents are first-line drugs for ulcerative colitis (UC). However, intolerance as well as other issues have been reported for these drugs, making it difficult to sustain this treatment; accordingly, the persistence of 5-ASA is an important indicator of UC treatment strategy. We aimed to analyze the persistence of 5-ASA in patients with UC in Japan.

Introduction: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are associated with severe gastrointestinal irritation upon prolonged use, largely due to their carboxylic (-- COOH) functional group.

Aim: To address this issue, we aimed to synthesize diclofenac conjugates with glucosamine and chitosan, converting the -COOH group into an amide (-CONH-) via a mechanochemical, environmentally friendly method.

Method: In this study, diclofenac acid was first converted to its acid chloride using thionyl chloride under mechanochemical conditions and subsequently reacted with glucosamine base and chitosan.
