Celastrol nanoparticles inhibit corneal neovascularization induced by suturing in rats

PURPOSE Celastrol, a traditional Chinese medicine, is widely used in anti-inflammation and anti-angiogenesis research. However, the poor water solubility of celastrol restricts its further application. This paper aims to study the effect of celastrol nanoparticles (CNPs) on corneal neovascularization (CNV) and determine the possible mechanism. METHODS To improve the hydrophilicity of celastro...

Analgesic efficacy of single-dose parecoxib for corneal suturing in children.

EDITOR: Corneal injuries in children are still common in developing countries. Suturing of corneal perforations is undertaken under general anaesthesia utilizing opioids. The efficacy of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) has not been evaluated for this procedure. We conducted this randomized, double-blind study to assess whether a single dose of parecoxib could be a satisfactory al...
