A total of 40 patients with various ocular diseases were treated with nimesulide 200 mg/day or ketoprofen 150 mg/day for 7 days after laser therapy. The incidence of ocular complications was lower in patients treated with nimesulide than with ketoprofen. With regard to posterior segment changes, retinal oedema was reduced in patients treated with nimesulide. After laser treatment, anterior segment changes were modest. These preliminary results stress the efficacy of nimesulide in preventing oedema and also its anti-inflammatory effects on the retina after ocular laser therapy.

One of the intensively developed tools for cancer therapy is drug-releasing matrices. Polyamidoamine dendrimers (PAMAM) are commonly used as nanoparticles to increase the solubility, stability and retention of drugs in the human body. Most often, drugs are encapsulated in PAMAM cavities or covalently attached to their surface.

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of joint diseases, with hallmark of cartilage degeneration. Recent studies have shown that the pathogenesis of OA is associated with chondrocyte necroptosis.

Methods: In this study, we used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and bulk RNA sequencing data to analyze necroptosis regulation in OA chondrocytes.
