Objective: This study compares the effectiveness of tiaprofenic acid with diclophenac sodium over a 7-day period with respect to pain, facial swelling, and trismus.
Study Design: Sixty patients who required general anesthesia for removal of bilateral impacted third molar teeth were included. Intraoperatively, they received intramuscular injections of either tiaprofenic acid or diclophenac sodium followed respectively by tiaprofenic acid tablets for 5 days and placebo for an additional 2 days or diclophenac sodium tablets for the full 7 days. Surgical and anesthetic techniques were standardized. Pain levels were compared hourly for 4 hours postoperatively and thereafter twice daily for 7 days. Changes in facial swelling and trismus were compared on days 2 and 7 postoperatively.
Results: No statistically significant difference was found between the two treatment groups with respect to pain or facial swelling. Only with respect to recovery in mouth-opening ability (trismus) from day 2 to day 7 did diclophenac sodium reveal a statistically significant advantage (p = 0.0452).

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of 's subcutaneous needling based on "multi-joint muscle spiral balance chain" theory for cervical vertigo (CV) and its effect on blood flow velocity of vertebral artery.
Methods: A total of 60 patients with CV were randomized into a Fu's subcutaneous needling group and a medication group, 30 cases in each one. In the Fu's subcutaneous needling group, 's subcutaneous needling was delivered at Dazhui (GV14), the flexible tube was retained for 5 min after sweeping manipulation, and the treatment was given once every other day, 3 times a week for 3 weeks.
In vitro evaluation of anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant activity of pomegranate peel extract mediated calcium sulfate nano particles.

Introduction: Pomegranate peel is considered a reservoir of biologically active compounds, the presence of which provides anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties to peel extracts. Calcium sulfate is considered an ideal boneaugmenting material, and in the present study, pomegranate peel extract-mediated calcium sulfate nano particles (PPE CaSo4 NPs) were synthesized and their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties were evaluated. This study aimed to evaluate the biological effects of PPE CaSo4 NPs, with a focus on their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Background/objectives: Films in the mouth offer a promising alternative drug delivery system for oral administration, with several advantages over traditional oral formulations. Furthermore, their non-invasive nature and easy administration make them conducive to increasing patient compliance. The use of active agents in these films can further improve their drug delivery properties, making them an even more useful drug delivery system.
