Purpose: Chronic inflammatory pain is usually treated with oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). However, oral NSAIDs can cause some adverse events, and local preparation is an important alternative drug. Currently, small sample clinical studies show that loxoprofen sodium hydrogel patch (LX-P) has good analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects; however, there is a lack of real-world clinical research data.

Patients And Methods: This study included 60 patients with chronic inflammatory pain. They were treated with LX-P without affecting their real-world treatment for two weeks.

Results: After 2 weeks of continuous medication, 93.33% of the patients stated that the treatment was effective. Only 3.33% of the patients had a relapse after 4 weeks. Moreover, the swelling range and degree of swelling decreased markedly and the dysfunction of the pain site was markedly alleviated. The total satisfaction of patients after treatment reached 90.00%.

Conclusion: In this real-world observational study, LX-P showed good efficacy and safety in patients with chronic inflammatory pain.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a prevalent chronic inflammatory airway disease with high incidence and significant disease burden. R-loops, functional chromatin structure formed during transcription, are closely associated with inflammation due to its aberrant formation. However, the role of R-loop regulators (RLRs) in COPD remains unclear.

IL-33, a neutrophil extracellular trap-related gene involved in the progression of diabetic kidney disease.

Inflamm Res

January 2025

Department of Nephrology, First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University, Shanghai Changhai Hospital, Shanghai, China.

Background: Chronic inflammation is well recognized as a key factor related to renal function deterioration in patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) play an important role in amplifying inflammation. With respect to NET-related genes, the aim of this study was to explore the mechanism of DKD progression and therefore identify potential intervention targets.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an age-related chronic inflammatory disease which may include accelerated biological ageing processes in its pathogenesis. To determine if increased biological age is associated with risk of RA and/or is present once disease is established. We used DNA methylation to compare biological age (epigenetic age) of immune cells in adults at risk of RA and those with confirmed RA, including twins discordant for RA.

Purpose: Sarcopenia is an age-related disease that is related to nutritional intake and chronic low-grade inflammation. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of dietary intake, inflammatory markers and sarcopenia among the community-dwelling older adults.

Methods: A total of 1001 older adults aged 60 and above were recruited.

Objective: The presence of microorganisms in a wound may lead to the development of pathologically extensive inflammation, and either delay or prevent the healing of hard-to-heal (chronic) wounds. The aim of this case series is to explore the use of topical gentamicin ointment, an aminoglycoside with activity against aerobic Gram-negative bacteria, as an option to address hard-to-heal wounds.

Method: We present a retrospective case series of patients with hard-to-heal wounds of varying pathophysiologies treated with topical gentamicin.
