In the study of pre-treatment of A549 cells with Elaeagnus conferta Roxb leaves followed by TNFα caused the increased proportion of cells (20.78%) at apoptosis induced cell death, which was statistically significant (p< 0.001). The untreated A549 cells had minimal NF-kB expression (0.25± 0.01%). However, the approach of A549 cells with Elaeagnus conferta Roxb had induced NF-kB production many fold (11.50± 1.05%).

Based on the information currently available, WHO does not recommend the use of ibuprofen. the objective is to evaluate the inhibition of cyclooxygenase 2 by ibuprofen by validating molecular docking. Method The crystallographic structure of ibuprofen bound to cyclooxygenase-2 was obtained from the Protein Data Bank (PDB) at a resolution <3.00 Å. The receiver was visualized using Discovery Studio Visualizer version 2.5.5. It was efficiently prepared using AutoDock / Vina software. The 3D structure of Ligand (Ibuprofen) was downloaded from the Drugbak database (https://www.drugbank.ca/): Accession number DB01050 Results Molecular docking was chosen as the first-line discrimination of the ibuprofen-COX2 intercation for the in silico study of putative competitors. The complex formed by Ibuprofen-COX 2 from the experimental model gives a docking score (Affinity: -7.3 (kcal / mol) with a mean square deviation of (RMSD = 23.884). Conclusion The evaluation of the inhibition of cyclo-oxygenase 2 by ibuprofen was validated by molecular docking. Cardiovascular effects already reported in patients treated with traditional non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs and coxibs have been observed in patients with COVID 19.

The frequently seen subtypes of NSCLC in patients are adenocarcinoma, Squamous cell carcinoma and large cell carcinoma. Lung cancer, depending on the stage and kind, it may act differently in each individual. The usual symptoms may include cough, hemoptysis, fatigue, SOB, chest pain, loss of weight etc. and these symptoms differ depending on the site of metastasis. Tobacco smoking is known to the main aggravating risk factor of lung cancer. Other factors like occupational exposure to chemicals and ionizing radiation, passive smoking, genetics, air pollution, diet and alcohol may all contribute in developing of lung cancer in the individuals. Different mechanisms are involved in the development of the tumor in the body. Large number of diagnostic procedures are available to diagnose the lung cancer. Appropriate procedure for diagnosis is selected depending on the site, type, metastasis and size of the tumor. The fundamental basis for the management of cancer is the stage classification. Clinical stage in the patients can be determined by their laboratory results, bronchoscopy findings, imaging tests and by physical examination. Subsequently patients are staged between stage-1 to stage-4. Different types of treatment options are available for treating NSCLC which includes surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, palliative care. The main objective of this review is to provide the updated epidemiology, risk factors, diagnostic procedures, staging and treatments for NSCLC.","PeriodicalId":119953,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advances in Scientific Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123401233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The vast majority of the pharmacists (84%) wanted to join the pharmaceutical care pilot project. The main benefits of pharmaceutical care perceived by the respondents included a reduced number of medication errors, an increase in the prestige of the profession, and job satisfaction. Those who noticed more benefits from pharmaceutical care expressed more willingness to implement it (p<0.001). Conclusions. Pharmaceutical care, focused on improving the quality of pharmacotherapy, is essential for public health. Polish pharmacists are ready to implement pharmaceutical care in their pharmacies.
