Decellularized matrix scaffold integrating hyaluronic acid-celecoxib modulates inflammation and promotes regenerative meniscus remodeling. (PubMed, Biomaterials)
At 12 weeks, it significantly enhanced tissue maturation and collagen arrangement in the defect area and mitigated cartilage degeneration. This strategy guides meniscus healing with a dual function by modulating the inflammatory environment while providing biomimetic structural support.

Comparative Metabolic Profiling and Anti-Inflammatory Evaluation of Ceiba speciosa and Ceiba insignis Flower Extracts. (PubMed, Biomed Chromatogr)
In response to lipopolysaccharide stimulation, both extracts had anti-inflammatory effects like those of the control medication celecoxib, which decreased 5-LOX and TNF-α expression by 0.3554-fold and 0.2263-fold, respectively. Molecular docking highlighted that dihydrosterculic acid showed the tightest fit within 5-LOX center revealing binding energy (∆G = -35.09 kcal/mol). Consequently, this study highlighted the relevance of the flowers of both Ceiba species in treating inflammatory disorders that in turn confirmed the traditional medicinal uses of these plants.

Administration of Aspirin and Aqueous Leaf Extract of Terminalia Catappa Reduces Leukocytosis with Risk of Developing Thrombocytosis in Diabetic Wistar Rats. (PubMed, Cardiovasc Hematol Agents Med Chem)
Extract of Terminalia catappa, in combination with aspirin, reduced WBC count but increased platelet indices. This indicates the potential of the extract to reduce inflammation in diabetes mellitus, but with the risk of thrombocytosis.

Meloxicam-1-d-MT Dual-Drug Hydrogel Serves as an Immunomodulator to Reverse Tumor Postoperative Recurrence and Metastasis. (PubMed, ACS Appl Mater Interfaces)
Here, we design and construct an in situ injectable therapeutic hydrogel encapsulating 1-methyl-d-tryptophan (1-d-MT), a small-molecule competitive inhibitor of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase, and meloxicam, a selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-2 (Ge1MT/Mel hydrogel) to prevent postoperative tumor metastasis and relapse. Importantly, the Ge1MT/Mel hydrogel markedly stimulates a potent antitumor immune response in the cancer lesion microenvironment, increasing antitumor immune cells including CD8+ T cells, as well as elevating antitumor cytokines such as interferon-γ. Overall, combination immunotherapy via the Ge1MT/Mel hydrogel after surgery represents a promising strategy to minimize residual tumor burden and reduce recurrence risk following tumor resection.

Identification of biomarkers related to amino acid metabolism in nonobstructive azoospermia by bioinformatics. (PubMed, Medicine (Baltimore))
Remarkably, sodium selenite, aflodac, and genistein were commonly predicted by the biomarkers...Ultimately, AKT1 and SHC1 were significantly upregulated in NOA. This study identified 3 biomarkers as being associated with NOA, providing valuable clues to help treat and predict NOA.

Celecoxib Mitigates Paclitaxel-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy Through Modulation of the COX-2/PGE2 Pathway in Rats. (PubMed, FASEB J)
Its effects were comparable to COX-2 gene silencing, with a favorable preclinical safety profile supporting long-term clinical use. These findings elucidate the neuroprotective mechanism of celecoxib, propose COX-2/PGE2 as a therapeutic target for CIPN, and lay a foundation for relevant combination therapy research, highlighting celecoxib's potential in CIPN management.

A retrospective study comparing oral celecoxib combined with flurbiprofen hydrogel patch versus oral celecoxib therapy for lateral epicondylitis: real-world analysis of the anti-inflammatory and analgesic efficacy and safety. (PubMed, Front Pharmacol)
The combined therapy also increases the overall efficacy rate, reduces the effecting time, without increasing systemic adverse events. The combined regimen represents an effective and safe treatment option to offer benefits for clinical application.
