Synovial tissue, cartilage, bone, and less frequently extra-articular structures which in turn experience \u0000inflammatory changes. Paclitaxel's semi-synthetic equivalent, docetaxel, is an anti-neoplastic drug. Methotrexate is a treatment for early RA and may have a mildly negative impact on peptidyl arginine deiminase type 4 fluorescence test. However, 30% of patients fail to complete treatment within the first year due to resistance or side effects. The synovial membrane of Rheumatoid arthritis patient infiltrated with macrophages and neutrophils that express peptidyl arginine deiminase type 4 which their effect in rheumatoid arthritis pathogenesis lies in the generation of citrullinated neoepitopes that are Anti cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies-targeted. \u0000The purpose of this study: was to assess the anti-inflammatory effects of docetaxel and methotrexate on the joint structure. \u0000Methods: Five groups of eight rats were formed from the 40 male Wister rats. Complete Freund’s adjuvant was injected subcutaneously into rats to induce the disease. The first group is control group which was the only group consists of (healthy untreated) rats. Second group was received complete Freund’s adjuvant. 0.5ml of ordinary saline was intraperitoneally administered to both the control and induction groups. Based on a preliminary experiment, the third group was given intraperitoneally 1 mg/kg/on alternative day docetaxel. The fourth group was given intraperitoneally 1 mg/kg/week of Methotrexate.

Compound 4 and sodium azide were combined to create compound which has an azide group. Compound 5 was converted into 1,2,3-triazole derivatives by treatment with acetylene derivatives. FTIR, 1H-NMR, and Mass spectra have been used to confirm the chemical structures of various substances. By using a technique called well diffusion agar, the final products were examined in vitro to predict activity against two kinds of gram-positive bacteria and two kinds of gram-negative bacteria as well as the antifungal activity against Candida albicans fungus. All the final products exhibited moderate to potent activity compared to Trimethoprim and Fluconazole as reference antibacterial and antifungal drugs respectively.

Many complications associated with diabetes like peripheral neuropathy and vascular insufficiency can make patients more susceptible to infections. One of the sever complication of Covid-19 infection is, the cytokine storm, that result in excessive release of inflammatory cytokines (TNF-a, IL-6, IL-10), and this may be aggravated by the inflammatory process together with the hyper-coagulable condition in diabetic patients. In conclusion: Hyperglycemia is established as risk factor for increased morbidity and mortality in covid 19 infection.","PeriodicalId":7406,"journal":{"name":"Al Mustansiriyah Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences","volume":"61 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76417513","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}

Initial symptoms include fever, cough, and dyspnea. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain, GIT involvement is also possible. The COVID-19 outbreak has increased the need for alternative medicine administration routes, particularly in public places. Buccal, sublingual, and rectal administration are all considered transmucosal methods. They are self-administration options for non-invasive systemic distribution. In addition, they are great for use in palliative and end-of-life care because of their quick onset of action and decreased first-pass metabolism. A mucosal atomization device allows for the intranasal administration of a parenteral formulation through nasal spray. Rectal mucosal absorption is comparable to that of the oral route, making the rectal route an extremely versatile and useful method of drug administration for a wide variety of medications. Covid-19 illness is treated with a variety of drugs, including anti-malaria medication (hydroxychloroquine), glucocorticoids (dexamethasone), antibiotics (azithromycin), and antiviral medications (favipiravir).

There are several types of lung fibrosis as familial pulmonary fibrosis, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and others associated with non-specific \u0000  \u0000interstitial pneumonia. The most common type is idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis which is an unknown cause. Lung fibrosis causes changes in the histology of the lung by the disappearance of the lung parenchyma, replaced by an inflammatory infiltrate, and mild thickening of the pulmonary artery. The management of pulmonary fibrosis included Azathioprine, corticosteroid, and N-acetyl cysteinyl in 2011 but in 2014 this guideline was removed and replaced by nintedanib and pirfenidone. This study used Pirfenidone, as standard therapy for the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis, and montelukast is Cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLT) antagonist which binds to its receptor (CysLTE4) located on smooth muscle cells of the respiratory airway causing anti-inflammatory effect by inhibition of inflammatory markers as TGFβ1. Sixty male rats were divided into five groups,12 rats for each group where the control group received distilled water by gastric gavage, the induction group received bleomycin intratracheally as a single dose, the pirfenidone group received pirfenidone 50mg/kg, montelukast group received montelukast 20mg/kg and the combination group received a half dose of pirfenidone and montelukast. After twenty-eight days after the treatment with montelukast or pirfenidone sacrifice rats and collect the organ (lungs) from each group were then placed in buffer formalin 10% for histopathological study. After 14 days from bleomycin dose, results show that bleomycin cause massive disappearance of pulmonary parenchyma that was replaced by an inflammatory infiltrate and medial thickening of the pulmonary artery in all groups, but montelukast and pirfenidone show normal lung paranchyma and pulmonary artery after 28 days of treatment in pirfenidone, montelukast, and combination groups. \u0000In conclusion, that bleomycin changes the histology of the lung causing induction of lung fibrosis in all groups after 14 days except control group but pirfenidone, montelukast, and combination of half dose of pirfenidone with a half dose of montelukast return the lung to normal architecture after 28 days of treatment.","PeriodicalId":7406,"journal":{"name":"Al Mustansiriyah Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences","volume":"89 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76847218","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}

Some evidence indicated the development of periodontist in patients, although the pathogenesis is not well-defined. \u0000Aims: This study aimed to investigate the association of COVID-19 severity and role of matrix metalloproteinase 2 in development of periodontitis. \u0000Patients and Methods: This is a cross sectional study which included a total of 160 patients with COVID-19. Patients were categorized into severe and mild-moderated according to World Health Organization criteria. Periodontitis was diagnosed in those patients according to clinical criteria. Serum level of matrix metalloproteinase 2 was estimated in all patients using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Demographic and laboratory data were obtained from the patients’ records. \u0000Results: Forty-two patients (26.25%) had severe COVID-19. Demographically, older ages and the presence of comorbidities were significantly associated with COVID-19 severity. Besides the inflammatory markers, the median serum level of MMP-2 was higher in severe than mild-moderate COVID-19 cases (208.12 ng/ml vs. 196.33 ng/ml) with a significant difference. The PO rate in severe and mild-moderate COVID-19 was 23.81% and 10.17%, respectively, with a significant difference. The median serum MMP-2 in patients with PO was 228.5 ng/ml which was significantly higher than those without PO 193.81 ng/ml. \u0000Conclusions: These data indicate the significant association between COVID-19 severity and development of PO.
