Background: Oxidative stress is an inevitable process that occurs during life activities, and it can participate in the development of inflammation. Although great progress has been made according to research examining analgesic drugs and therapies, there remains a need to develop new analgesic drugs to fill certain gaps in both the experimental and clinical space.
Purpose: This review reports the research and preclinical progress of this class of analgesics by summarizing known nuclear factor E-2-related factor-2 (Nrf2) pathway-modulating substances.
Study Design: We searched and reported experiments that intervene in the Nrf2 pathway and its various upstream and downstream molecules for analgesic therapy.
Methods: The medical literature database (PubMed) was searched for experimental studies examining the reduction of pain in animals through the Nrf2 pathway, the research methods were analyzed, and the pathways were classified and reported according to the pathway of these experimental interventions.
Results: Humans have identified a variety of substances that can fight pain by regulating the expression of Nrf2 and its upstream and downstream pathways.
Conclusion: The Nrf2 pathway exerts anti-inflammatory activity by regulating oxidative stress, thereby playing a role in the fight against pain.

Department of Orthopedics, Dongtai People's Hospital, 224200 Yancheng, Jiangsu, China.
Aim: To evaluate the postoperative analgesic efficacy and safety of ketorolac tromethamine in tibial plateau fracture (TPF) patients undergoing open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) surgery.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 194 TPF patients treated at Dongtai People's Hospital between October 2022 and March 2024. Patients meeting the inclusion criteria were divided into two groups: the ketorolac tromethamine group (n = 104), who received ketorolac tromethamine combined with imrecoxib, and the control group (n = 90), who received imrecoxib alone after ORIF.
Non-Opioid Analgesics for Postoperative Pain Management Following Total Joint Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

McMaster University, Department of Surgery, Division of Orthopaedic Surgery, Hamilton, ON, Canada.
Background: Hip and knee arthroplasty are a fundamental part of modern orthopaedic practice. These procedures often require extensive postoperative analgesia, including opiate painkillers that are frequently associated with adverse side effects and risk of abuse. This review, therefore, investigated how postoperative administration of non-opioid co-analgesics (e.

This study explores the effect of aspirin on preeclampsia (PE) and analyzes the influencing factors of PE in high-risk pregnant women. We encompassed 110 high-risk pregnant women receiving prenatal examination at Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Yichang City between January 2022 and December 2023, categorized them into the intervention group (n=58,received aspirin therapy), and the control group (n=52, didn't receive pharmaceutical prophylaxis). Clinical and laboratory parameters were compared between groups, with logistic regression performed.

To explore the therapeutic efficacy of L-glutamine (L-Gln) on pathological progression and clinical symptoms of osteoarthritis (OA), and compare with glucosamine sulfate (GS), and celecoxib (CXB). Rats were administered sodium chloride, L-Gln, GS, or CXB via gavage for eight weeks starting from the fifth week after sham operation or Anterior Cruciate Ligament Transection (ACLT) + Medial Meniscectomy (MMx). Then the severity of knee OA in rats was evaluated by serological analysis, histological examination and imaging examination.
