To compare acute pain after uterine artery embolization (UAE) with tris-acryl gelatin microspheres (TAGM) versus gelatin sponge particles (GS) for leiomyoma. This was a single-institution, retrospective study. Between July 2008 and November 2016, 101 consecutive patients with symptomatic uterine leiomyoma

We previously proposed that direct cytotoxicity of NSAIDs due to their membrane permeabilization activity, together with their ability to decrease gastric prostaglandin E(2), contributes to production of gastric lesions. Compared to loxoprofen (LOX), fluoro-loxoprofen (F-LOX) has much lower membrane permeabilization

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) achieve their anti-inflammatory actions through an inhibitory effect on cyclooxygenase (COX). Two COX subtypes, COX-1 and COX-2, are responsible for the majority of COX activity at the gastrointestinal mucosa and in tissues with inflammation, respectively. We
