Background: Pancreatic extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (P-ESWL) is the first-line therapy for large pancreatic duct stones. Although it is a highly effective and safe procedure for the fragmentation of pancreatic stones, it is still not complication-free. Just like endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), pancreatitis is the most common complication. To date, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have proven to be the only effective prophylactic medication for post-ERCP pancreatitis and the European, American and Japanese Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy guidelines have recommended prophylactic rectally administered indomethacin for all patients undergoing ERCP. Given the little research about effective prevention for post P-ESWL pancreatitis, we aim to determine whether rectally administered indomethacin can reduce post-ESWL-pancreatitis.
Methods/design: The RIPEP study is a prospective, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial. One thousand three hundred and seventy patients with chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic stones (>5 mm in diameter) treated with P-ESWL at Changhai Hospital will be randomly allocated to rectally administered indomethacin or placebo therapy before the procedure. The primary endpoint is the incidence of post-ESWL pancreatitis. Secondary endpoints include the severity of pancreatitis, occurrence rate of asymptomatic hyperamylasemia and other complications.
Discussion: The RIPEP trial is designed to show that rectally administered indomethacin reduces the development and severity of post-ESWL pancreatitis and benefits patients treated with P-ESWL.

: Sodium aescinate (SA) is commonly used topically due to its anti-inflammatory, anti-edematous, and anti-swelling properties. However, the clinical application of SA is limited by strong irritation, and cannot be used on the damaged skin and mucous membrane. This study aimed to investigate whether arginine hydrochloride (Arg·HCl) could reduce the rectal mucosal irritation of SA through the formation of a gel.

Background And Purpose: The study explores basil seed mucilage as a bioadhesive carrier for naproxen sodium, demonstrating its ability to enhance solubility when administered rectally. The mucilage, derived from seeds, showed bioadhesive properties and thermal stability, as confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis.
Experimental Approach: Microspheres were prepared using a double emulsion solvent evaporation technique, varying polymer ratios to optimize drug delivery.

Diversion colitis is a common phenomenon affecting patients after defunctioning ileostomy. We present a complex case of diversion colitis where the patient was deemed unsuitable for restorative surgery due to multiple areas of stricturing in a long defunctioned colonic segment. Despite initial treatments with rectally administered topical mesalazine, butyrate enemas and topical steroid therapy, the patient remained symptomatic with rectal bleeding and mucus discharge.
