AbstractBackground and ObjectivesTo observe the effect of Pentoxifylline for 1 year on hepatic histological activity and fibrosis of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).Materials and MethodsA single center, open label Randomized Control Trial. Patients were included if they had ultrasonographic evidence of fatty liver and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease activity score (NAS) ≥ 5 on liver histology. A total of 35 patients were selected; 25 of PL (Experimental) group and 10 of L (Control) group. PL group received 400 mg pentoxifylline thrice daily along with lifestyle modification and there was only lifestyle modification for the L group. After one year, NAS and fibrosis was compared in both groups.ResultsIn PL group, NAS improved 2.10 ± 1.07; whereas in L group, NAS was 0.90 ± 0.99 (P = 0.006). As per the protocol analysis, NAS ≥ 2 improved in 15/20 (75%) in PL group and in 3/10 (30%) in L group (P = 0.018). In PL group, the individual component of NAS, steatosis improved from 2.30 ± 0.66 to 0.95 ± 0.76 (P = 0.000), lobular inflammation from 1.65 ± 0.59 to 1.05 ± 0.51 (P = 0.002) and hepatocyte ballooning from 1.50 ± 0.51 to 1.30 ± 0.57 (P = 0.258). In L group, steatosis improved from 2.30 ± 0.68 to 1.40 ± 1.08 (P = 0.01), lobular inflammation and hepatocyte ballooning did not improve. The fibrosis score did not improve in any group. In PL group, NAS improved significantly (P = 0.027; OR=22.76, CI=1.43-362.40) independent of weight reduction.ConclusionPentoxifylline for 1 year improves the hepatic histological activity but not fibrosis of NASH patients.

Aim. We aimed to assess the efficacy of MLC601 on functional recovery in patients given MLC601 after an ischemic stroke.Methods. This is a retrospective cohort study comparing poststroke patients given open-label MLC601 (; 9 female) for three months and matching patients who did not receive MLC601 from our Stroke Data Bank. Outcome assessed was modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at three months and analyzed according to: (1) achieving a score of 0-2, (2) achieving a score of 0-1, and (3) mean change in scores from baseline.Results. At three months, 21 patients on MLC601 became independent as compared to 17 patients not on MLC601 (OR 1.79; 95% CI 0.62–5.2; ). There were twice as many patients () on MLC601 who attained mRS scores similar to their prestroke state than in the non-MLC601 group () (OR 3.14; 95% CI 1.1–9.27; ). Mean improvement in mRS from baseline was better in the MLC601 group than in the non-MLC601 group (−1.7 versus −0.9; mean difference −0.73; 95% CI −1.09 to −0.38; ).Conclusion. MLC601 improves functional recovery at 3 months postischemic stroke. An ongoing large randomized control trial of MLC601 will help validate these results.

Aim of the study: The aim of the study was to conduct a randomized control trial to compare the effectiveness of high and low intensity rehabilitation programme in chronic phase of GBS patient. Methodology: 20 Patients were included in the study as per inclusion and exclusion criteria. A written informed consent was signed by the subjects in their native language. The subjects were divided into two groups by simple random sampling. Group (A) Experimental Group (N=10): got treatment with High intensity rehabilitation exercises and Group (B) Control Group (N=10): got treatment with Low intensity rehabilitation exercises. Total rehabilitation program was for 12 months. The outcome measures for the both groups were Functional Independence Measure (FIM), World health Organization Quality of Life Scale (WHOQOL-BREF), Perceived Impact of Problem Profile (PIPP). Results: Intention to treat analysis of data from 20 patients (experimental n=10, control n=10) showed reduced disability in the treatment group in post-treatment FIM domains (self- care, sphincter control, transfers, locomotion; all p<0.001) and WHOQOL-BREF domains (quality of life; all p<0.001) and PIPP domains (self-care, mobility; all p<0.001). The treatment group compared with control group showed significant improvement in function (FIM scores): 72% vs. 50%. Conclusion: High intensity rehabilitation programme compared with Low intensity low intensity rehabilitation programme is effective in reducing motor disability (mobility, self-care, continence) in chronic phase of GBS patients. <p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0720/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
