Pain is the most common and feared symptom for patients, especially those with cancer. Treatment of chronic pain with conventional ways of medication usually fails with increasing severity of the pain. New approaches enabling the prolonged provision of pain relievers are required. We designed a controlled release system of pain relievers, mainly for opioids (morphine, M, codeine, C, and hydromorphone, HM), and a local anesthetic (bupivacaine, BP) in the form Of poly(L-lactide-colycolide) (PLGA) rods. The efficacy of these rods implanted alone or in combination in relieving chronic pain in rats caused by the ligation of the sciatic nerve of their right hind limbs was studied. The two most common tests for measuring analgesia, i.e. tail-flick tests, that show analgesia at sites other than the site of injury, were used to study the degree of systemic distribution of the drugs and paw-withdrawal tests were used to study the analgesia at the site of injury.

Assessment of biodegradable controlled release rod systems for pain relief applications
Sendil, D; Wise, DL; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2002-01-01)
Control of chronic, severe pain is a difficult and important clinical problem for most patients, especially those with cancer, Although current applications are insufficient for a satisfactory solution to this problem, the rate of disease incidence is increasing worldwide, thus making the problem more apparent. Based on this fact, this study was designed with the ultimate goal of formulating a controlled release system of pain relievers, mainly opioids, for the local treatment of pain to achieve satisfactor...
Prolonged cytotoxic effect of colchicine released from biodegradable microspheres
Muvaffak, A; Gurhan, I; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2004-11-15)
One the main problems of cancer chemotherapy is the unwanted damage to normal cells caused by the high toxicities of anticancer drugs. Any system of controlled drug delivery that would reduce the total amount of drug required, and thus reduce the side effects, would potentially help to improve chemotherapy. In this respect, biodegradable gelatin microspheres were prepared by water/oil emulsion polymerization and by crosslinking with glutaraldehyde (GTA) as the drug-carrier system. Microspheres were loaded w...
Tailoring magnetic PLGA nanoparticles suitable for doxorubicin delivery
Tansik, Gulistan; YAKAR, ARZU; Gündüz, Ufuk (2013-12-07)
One of the main problems of current cancer chemotherapy is the lack of selectivity of anti-cancer drugs to tumor cells, which leads to systemic toxicity and adverse side effects. In order to overcome these limitations, researches on controlled drug delivery systems have gained much attention. Nanoscale-based drug delivery systems provide tumor targeting. Among many types of nanocarriers, superparamagnetic nanoparticles with their biocompatible polymer coatings can be targeted to an intented site by an exter...
Characterization of liposomal celecoxib formulation as a drug delivery system in colorectal cancer cell lines
Erdoğ, Aslı; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Department of Biotechnology (2012)
Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is one of the most common cancers and is the leading cause of cancer deaths in much of the developed world. Owing to the high incidence of drug resistance and potential toxic effects of chemotherapy drugs, much research is currently underway to design better strategies for smart drug delivery systems. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) pathway is associated with poor prognosis in colon carcinomas. The selective COX-2 inhibitor drug Celecoxib (CLX) has been shown to posses COX-2 independent ...
ACTIVE LEARNING BASED SYNTHETIC SAMPLE SELECTION FOR ENDOSCOPIC IMAGE CLASSIFICATION
İnci, Alperen; Temizel, Alptekin; Department of Modeling and Simulation (2022-9-2)
Many people suffer from Ulcerative Colitis (UC), which is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease. UC exhibits itself as ulcers, inflammation, and sores in the colon. In order to provide proper treatment, an expert physician needs to assess the severity of the disease. However, physicians have disagreements on the severity of the disease in terms of the widely used Mayo scoring. This brings in the need for reliable and au- tomated methods. Even though automated disease diagnosis using medical imaging has becom...
