Abstract
INTRODUCTION Gastrointestinal hospitalisations in the USA cause over US$130 billion in expenditures, and acute pancreatitis is a leading cause of these hospitalisations. Adequate pain control is one of the primary treatment goals for acute pancreatitis. Though opioids are commonly used for analgesia in these patients, there have been concerns about short-term and long-term side effects of using opioids. Recently, non-opioid medications have been studied to treat pain in patients with acute pancreatitis. This systematic review and network meta-analysis aims to assess the comparative efficacy of analgesic medication for non-severe, acute pancreatitis. METHODS AND ANALYSIS We will search multiple electronic databases for randomised controlled trials that study pain management in patients with non-severe, acute pancreatitis. The intervention will be any analgesic for acute pancreatitis in the hospital setting. The comparison group will be patients who received a placebo or other active interventions for pain management. The primary outcomes of interest include pain scores and the need for supplementary analgesia. The secondary outcomes will be serious adverse events, local complications, progression to severe pancreatitis, transfer to the intensive care unit, length of hospitalisation, time to start enteral feeds, 30-day all-cause mortality and Quality of Life Scale scores. If sufficient homogeneity exists among included studies, the findings will be pooled using a traditional pairwise and network meta-analysis. The risk of bias in randomised control trials will be evaluated using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool 2.0. The Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation approach will be used to report the certainty of evidence. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This systematic review will not involve direct contact with human subjects. The findings of this review will be published in a peer-reviewed journal. They will give healthcare providers a better awareness of the optimal analgesic medication for pain treatment in non-severe, acute pancreatitis.

Buprenorphine Versus Diclofenac for Pain Relief in Acute Pancreatitis: A Double-Blinded Randomized Controlled Trial. Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol 2024; 22:532-541.e8. [PMID: 37924855 DOI: 10.1016/j.cgh.2023.10.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2023] [Revised: 10/08/2023] [Accepted: 10/20/2023] [Indexed: 11/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although both nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and opioids are used for analgesia in acute pancreatitis (AP), the analgesic of choice is not known. We compared buprenorphine, an opioid, and diclofenac, an NSAID, for analgesia in AP. METHODS In a double-blind randomized controlled trial, AP patients were randomized to receive intravenous diclofenac or intravenous buprenorphine. Fentanyl was used as rescue analgesia, delivered through a patient-controlled analgesia pump. Primary outcome was the difference in the dose of rescue fentanyl required. Secondary outcomes were the number of effective and ineffective demands of rescue fentanyl, pain-free interval, reduction in visual analogue scale (VAS) score, adverse events, and organ failure development. RESULTS Twenty-four patients were randomized to diclofenac and 24 to buprenorphine. The 2 groups were matched at baseline. The total amount of rescue fentanyl required was significantly lower in the buprenorphine group:130 μg, interquartile range (IQR), 80-255 vs 520 μg, IQR, 380-1065 (P < .001). The number of total demands was 32 (IQR, 21-69) in the diclofenac arm vs 8 (IQR, 4-15) in the buprenorphine arm (P < .001). The buprenorphine group had more prolonged pain-free interval (20 vs 4 hours; P < .001), with greater reduction in the VAS score at 24, 48, and 72 hours compared with the diclofenac group. These findings were confirmed in the subgroup of moderately severe/severe pancreatitis. Adverse events profile was similar in the 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS Compared with diclofenac, buprenorphine appears to be more effective and equally safe for pain management in AP patients, even in the subcohort of moderately severe or severe pancreatitis (Trial Registration number: CTRI/2020/07/026914).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pain is the most common symptom of acute pancreatitis (AP), and opioids have been utilized as the cornerstone of treatment. Despite the adverse effects of opioids, data on effective analgesia in children with AP is lacking. We aimed to evaluate analgesia prescribing patterns in pediatric AP, identify factors associated with opioid administration, and test the associations between opioid administration and hospital length of stay (LOS). METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study of pediatric AP hospitalizations in a single institution from 2010 to 2020. Opioid administration was calculated for the first 48 hours of admission (morphine milligram equivalent; MME48). Data on multimodal analgesia [defined as the administration of acetaminophen and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)] during hospitalization was captured. RESULTS The sample included 224 patients, mean age 12.0 years (standard deviation = 4.9) and 58.9% female. Median LOS was 4 days (interquartile range 2-9). Most patients (71.4%) were prescribed opioids, 77.7% acetaminophen, 40.2% NSAIDs, and 37.5% multimodal analgesia. Opioid administration decreased over the study period; in contrast, there was an increase in multimodal analgesia administration. Opioid administration did not differ by sex, age, biliary versus non-biliary etiology, or race/ethnicity. In a multivariate regression model, lower albumin values ( P < 0.01) and younger age ( P < 0.05) were significant predictors of increased LOS, while MME48 was not associated with increased LOS. CONCLUSIONS Opioids were commonly administered; only 37.5% of children were administered multimodal analgesia during their hospitalization for AP. Opioid administration was not associated with increased LOS. Prospective studies are needed to determine optimal pain management for pediatric AP.

Abstract
This review summarized the current controversies in the management of acute pancreatitis (AP). The controversies in management range from issues involving fluid resuscitation, nutrition, the role of antibiotics and antifungals, which analgesic to use, role of anticoagulation and intervention for complications in AP. The interventions vary from percutaneous drainage, endoscopy or surgery. Active research and emerging data are helping to formulate better guidelines. The available evidence favors crystalloids, although the choice and type of fluid resuscitation is an area of dynamic research. The nutrition aspect does not have controversy as of now as early enteral feeding is preferred most often than not. The empirical use of antibiotics and antifungals are gray zones, and more data is needed for conclusive guidelines. The choice of analgesic is being studied, and the recommendations are still evolving. The position of using anticoagulation is still awaiting consensus. The role of intervention is well established, although the modality is constantly changing and favoring endoscopy or percutaneous drainage rather than surgery. It is evident that more multicenter randomized controlled trials are required for establishing the standard of care in these crucial management issues of AP to improve the morbidity and mortality worldwide.

Abstract
Background Most patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) suffer from abdominal pain that requires immediate pain relief, and there are various medication choices available, with opioids being the most prescribed analgesics. Objective Our objective is to compare the use of opioids with other medications in emergency settings for managing pain in patients with AP. Methods A systemic search was conducted in electronic databases (PubMed/Medline, Cochrane Library, Embase and Google Scholar) from inception to Feb 2023. All statistical analyses were conducted in Review Manager 5.4.1. The study's inclusion criteria was then selected. Only those Randomized Controlled Trials were involved that included patients having AP in an emergency setting. A random-effect model was used when heterogeneity was seen to pool the studies, and the result was reported in the Odds Ratio (OR) and Mean Difference (MD) along with the corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI). Narrative analysis was conducted for those variables which did not have sufficient data be included in the quantitative analysis. Results We include eight Randomized Controlled Trials in our study. The Pooled result showed non-significant differences in adverse effects between the two interventions (OR 1.42 [95% CI 0.62, 3.23]; p value= 0.40; I2= 20%). While overall, significantly additional drugs were used in the control group (OR 0.22 [95% CI 0.06, 0.85]; p value= 0.03; I2= 72%). Pain score and severity levels were also analyzed. We used a narrative approach to analyze the length of stay, mean time to reach significant decrease in pain, and mortality, which were all non-conclusive. We also narratively assessed the Pediatric population. Conclusion Opioids do not provide significant superiority over other medications and should be avoided due to their addictive nature.

Abstract
Background: Hydromorphone patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) provides satisfactory postoperative pain therapy, but its effect has not been assessed in acute pancreatitis (AP).Aim: To assess the safety and efficacy of intravenous hydromorphone PCA for pain relief in AP.Methods: This open-label trial included AP patients admitted within 72 h of symptom onset, aged 18–70 years old, and with Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain intensity ≥5. They were randomized to receive intravenous hydromorphone PCA (0.05 mg/h with 0.2 mg on-demand) or intramuscular pethidine (50 mg as required) for three consecutive days. Intramuscular dezocine (5 mg on demand) was the rescue analgesia. The primary outcome was the change of VAS score recorded every 4 h for 3 days. Interim analysis was conducted by an Independent Data and Safety Monitoring Committee (IDSMC).Results: From 26 July 2019 to 15 January 2020, 77 patients were eligible for the intention-to-treat analysis in the interim analysis (39 in the hydromorphone group and 38 in the pethidine group). Baseline parameters were comparable between groups. No difference in VAS between the two groups was found. Hydromorphone PCA was associated with higher moderately severe to severe cases (82.1% vs. 55.3%, p = 0.011), acute peripancreatic fluid collections (53.9% vs. 28.9%, p = 0.027), more cumulative opioid consumption (median 46.7 vs. 5 mg, p < 0.001), higher analgesia costs (median 85.5 vs. 0.5 $, p < 0.001) and hospitalization costs (median 3,778 vs. 2,273 $, p = 0.007), and more adverse events (20.5% vs. 2.6%, p = 0.087). The per-protocol analysis did not change the results. Although a sample size of 122 patients was planned, the IDSMC halted further recruitment as disease worsening or worse clinical outcomes between the groups in the interim analysis.Conclusion: Hydromorphone PCA was not superior to pethidine in relieving pain in AP patients and might have worse clinical outcomes. Therefore, its use is not recommended.Clinical Trial Registration: Chictr.org.cn. ChiCTR1900025971

Abstract
In this project, algorithm-based image processing methods in 3D endoscopic image processing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) were analyzed. To enhance local information of images, an adaptive histogram equalization method with limited contrast is introduced. The influences of the algorithm on 3D endoscopic image peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), image discrete information entropy (DE), and average mean brightness error (AMBE) of images before and after the optimization before were compared. A total of 92 patients receiving ERCP at Yuhuangding Hospital between December 2019 and December 2021 were selected and divided into the control group (fentanyl+propofol) and the observation group (remimazolam benzenesulfonate+esketamine). Mean arterial pressure heart rate (HR), oxygen saturation (SpO2), and respiratory rate (RR) of the patients at each time point including the entry into the operation room (T0), 2 minutes after the beginning of medication (T1), after endoscopy (T2), endoscopy withdrawal (T3), and postoperative awakening (T4) were recorded. The comparison of MAP between T1, T2, T3, and T4 and T0 among patients in the observation group and the control group showed statistical differences (P < 0.05). Besides, HR and RR at T4 in the observation group were obviously higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The comparison of SpO2 at T3 and T4 and that at T0 both showed statistical differences (P < 0.05). Awakening time and VAS scores in the observation group were obviously lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The incidence of bradycardia, nausea, vomiting, and chill in the observation group was all lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). The results indicated that an effective endoscopic image processing method was established based on an image enhancement algorithm, and the combination of remimazolam benzenesulfonate and esketamine showed high safety and efficacy in ERCP.

Association between Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Use and the Risk of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Nationwide Retrospective Cohort Study. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11113186. [PMID: 35683572 PMCID: PMC9181422 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11113186] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2022] [Revised: 05/26/2022] [Accepted: 05/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Although the link between non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and tramadol and symptomatic hypoglycemia has been documented, there is a limited understanding of the associations of NSAIDs and tramadol with the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study was established to evaluate the association between the clinical use of NSAIDs and the risk of T2DM. Patients and methods: A historical cohort study was conducted using the National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan dated from 2000 to 2013. Patients who received NSAIDs for at least 3 prescription orders and without co-treatment of tramadol in the exposure period (from 2000 to 2005) were considered as the exposed cohort (n = 3047). In comparison, patients who received tramadol for at least 3 prescription orders and without concomitant use of NSAIDs in the exposure period were considered as the comparison cohort (n = 9141). The primary outcome was the occurrence of T2DM. Multivariable hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) derived from the Cox proportional hazard models were applied to determine the association between NSAIDs use and the risk of T2DM. Results: In the average follow-up period of 9.56 years, there were 159 newly diagnosed T2DM, with an incidence rate of 56.96 per 10,000 person years in the exposed cohort. Comparatively, there were 1737 incident T2DM cases, with an incidence rate of 161.23 per 10,000 person years in the comparison cohort. Compared to the comparison cohort, the NSAIDs cohort showed a significantly reduced risk of T2DM with an adjusted HR of 0.31 (95% CI, 0.26–0.36). Conclusions: Our cohort study provides longitudinal evidence that the use of NSAIDs was associated with a reduced risk of T2DM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To provide guidelines for the management of the intensive care patient with severe acute pancreatitis. DESIGN A consensus committee of 22 experts was convened. A formal conflict-of-interest (COI) policy was developed at the beginning of the process and enforced throughout. The entire guideline construction process was conducted independently of any industrial funding (i.e. pharmaceutical, medical devices). The authors were required to follow the rules of the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE®) system to guide assessment of quality of evidence. The potential drawbacks of making strong recommendations in the presence of low-quality evidence were emphasised. METHODS The most recent SFAR and SNFGE guidelines on the management of the patient with severe pancreatitis were published in 2001. The literature now is sufficient for an update. The committee studied 14 questions within 3 fields. Each question was formulated in a PICO (Patients Intervention Comparison Outcome) format and the relevant evidence profiles were produced. The literature review and recommendations were made according to the GRADE® methodology. RESULTS The experts' synthesis work and their application of the GRADE® method resulted in 24 recommendations. Among the formalised recommendations, 8 have high levels of evidence (GRADE 1+/-) and 12 have moderate levels of evidence (GRADE 2+/-). For 4 recommendations, the GRADE method could not be applied, resulting in expert opinions. Four questions did not find any response in the literature. After one round of scoring, strong agreement was reached for all the recommendations. CONCLUSIONS There was strong agreement among experts for 24 recommendations to improve practices for the management of intensive care patients with severe acute pancreatitis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Basic science studies suggest that opioids aggravate disease severity and outcomes in acute pancreatitis. We sought to determine the association of opioid use and opioid type with the clinical course and outcome of acute pancreatitis. METHODS In this retrospective single-center observational study, we included all adult patients admitted with acute pancreatitis between 2008 and 2021. Patients were classified into 3 groups based on analgesia type: morphine, noonmorphine opioid, and nonopioid. RESULTS We included 2308 patients. Of the patients, 343 (14.9%) were treated with morphine, 733 (31.8%) were treated with nonmorphine opioids, and 1232 (53.4%) patients were in the nonopioid group. The incidence of 30-day mortality did not differ significantly between study groups: 3.9%, 2.9%, and 4.4% in the nonopioid, nonmorphine-opioid, and morphine groups, respectively ( P = 0.366).In multivariate analysis, the composite end point consisting of 30-day mortality, invasive ventilation, emergent abdominal surgery, and need for vasopressors was significantly more likely to occur in the morphine group than in the nonopioid group (adjusted odds ratio, 1.69; 95% confidence interval, 1.1-2.598; P = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Mortality among acute pancreatitis patients did not differ significantly between patients receiving morphine, nonmorphine opioids, and nonopioids. However, morphine treatment was associated with higher rates of some serious adverse events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal analgesic strategy for patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) remains unknown. OBJECTIVE The present systematic review and meta-analysis aims to compare the efficacy of different analgesic modalities trialled in AP. METHODS A systematic search of PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL, SCOPUS and Web of Science conducted up until June 2021, identified all randomised control trials (RCTs) comparing analgesic modalities in AP. A pooled analysis was undertaken of the improvement in pain scores as reported on visual analogue scale (VAS) on day 0, day 1 and day 2. RESULTS Twelve RCTs were identified including 542 patients. Seven trial drugs were compared: opiates, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs), metamizole, local anaesthetic, epidural, paracetamol, and placebo. Across all modalities, the pooled VAS scores showed global improvement from baseline to day 2. Epidural analgesia appears to provide the greatest improvement in VAS within the first 24 h but is equivalent to opiates by 48 h. Within 24 h, NSAIDs offered similar pain-relief to opiates, while placebo also showed equivalence to other modalities but then plateaued. Local anaesthetics demonstrated least overall efficacy. VAS scores for opiate and non-opiate analgesics were comparable at baseline and day 1. The identified RCTs demonstrated significant statistical and methodological heterogeneity in pain-relief reporting. CONCLUSIONS There is remarkable paucity of level 1 evidence to guide pain management in AP with small datasets per study. Epidural administration appears effective within the first 24 h of AP although infrequently used and featured in only a single RCT. NSAIDs are an effective opiate sparing alternative during the first 24 h.

Abstract
Background: Pain management is an important priority in the treatment of acute pancreatitis (AP). Current evidence and guideline recommendations are inconsistent on the most effective analgesic protocol. This systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) aimed to compare the safety and efficacy of analgesics for pain relief in AP. Methods: A literature search was performed to identify all RCTs assessing analgesics in patients with AP. The primary outcome was the number of participants who needed rescue analgesia. Study quality was assessed using Jadad score. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) or weighted mean differences (WMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were analysed using a random-effects model. Results: Twelve studies comprising 699 patients with AP (83% mild AP) were analysed. The tested analgesics significantly decreased the need for rescue analgesia (3 studies, OR.36, 95% CI 0.21 to 0.60) vs. placebo or conventional treatment. The analgesics also improved the pain score [Visual Analogue Scale (Δ-VAS)] at 24 h (WMD 18.46, 0.84 to 36.07) and by the 3rd to 7th days (WMD 11.57, 0.87 to 22.28). Opioids vs. non-opioids were associated with a decrease in the need for rescue analgesia (6 studies, OR 0.25, 95% CI 0.07 to 0.86, p = 0.03) but without significance in pain score. In subgroup analyses, opioids were similar to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) regarding the primary outcome (4 studies, OR 0.56, 95% CI 0.24 to 1.32, p = 0.18). There were no significant differences in other clinical outcomes and rate of adverse events. Other studies, comparing epidural anaesthesia vs. patient-controlled analgesia and opioid (buprenorphine) vs. opioid (pethidine) did not show significant difference in primary outcome. Study quality issues significantly contributed to overall study heterogeneity. Conclusions: NSAIDs and opioids are equally effective in decreasing the need for rescue analgesia in patients with mild AP. The relative paucity of trials and high-quality data in this setting is notable and the optimal analgesic strategy for patients with moderately severe and severe AP still requires to be determined.

Yersinia enterocolitica and Lactobacillus fermentum induces differential cellular and behavioral responses during diclofenac biotransformation in rat gut. Toxicol Appl Pharmacol 2021; 431:115741.

Abstract
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can induce small-intestinal injuries through inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis. Gut has an important role in building and maintaining the barriers to avoid the luminal gut microbiota from invading the host, and cytoskeleton plays a crucial role in the maintenance of cellular barrier. The recent advances suggest a bi-directional interaction between the drugs and gut microbiota, where gut microbes can metabolize the drugs, and in response drugs can alter the composition of gut microbiota. In the present study, we evaluated the effect of diclofenac on rat gut, when co-administrated with either Yersinia enterocolitica strain 8081 (an enteropathogen) or Lactobacillus fermentum strain 9338 (a probiotic). The LC-MS/MS based label-free quantitation of rat gut proteins revealed 51.38% up-regulated, 48.62% down-regulated in diclofenac-Y. enterocolitica strain 8081 (D*Y), and 74.31% up-regulated, 25.69% down-regulated in diclofenac-L. fermentum strain 9338 (D*L) experiments. The identified proteins belonged to cytoskeleton, metabolism, heme biosynthesis and binding, stress response, apoptosis and redox homeostasis, immune and inflammatory response, and detoxification and antioxidant defence. Further, the histopathological and biochemical analysis indicated more pronounced histological alterations and oxidative stress (enhanced malonaldehyde and altered antioxidant levels) in D*Y rats than D*L rats, compared to control rats. Elevated plus maze (EPM) test performed to determine the behavioral changes, suggested increased anxiety in D*Y rats than D*L rats, compared to control rats. These results together suggest the differential role of either bacterium in biotransformation of diclofenac, and inflammatory and cellular redox response.

Analysis of Animal Well-Being When Supplementing Drinking Water with Tramadol or Metamizole during Chronic Pancreatitis. Animals (Basel) 2020; 10:ani10122306. [PMID: 33291366 PMCID: PMC7762076 DOI: 10.3390/ani10122306] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2020] [Revised: 11/30/2020] [Accepted: 12/01/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Pain management during in vivo experiments can considerably improve the wellbeing of animals. However, often it is not clear, which drugs are best for the animals and how to apply these drugs without causing stress. In this study, we evaluated mice when metamizole or tramadol was provided via drinking water. Neither of these two drugs reduced the amount of consumed water or body weight in healthy mice or influenced their natural behavior, such as nest building or burrowing activity. Both analgesics were then given to mice suffering from chronic pancreatitis. Mice drinking tramadol supplemented water, at some time-points, experienced less loss in body weight and consumed more water than mice drinking metamizole. However, no major differences in other methods measuring wellbeing of mice was observed. In conclusion, both analgesics can be used during chronic pancreatitis, but tramadol seems to be moderately advantageous when compared to metamizole. Abstract Pain management during in vivo experiments is an animal welfare concern and is in many countries also legally required. In this study, we evaluated C57Bl/6J mice when 3 g/L metamizole or 1 g/L tramadol was provided via drinking water, before and during cerulein-induced chronic pancreatitis. Supplementation of drinking water with metamizole or tramadol did not significantly reduce the amount of consumed water. In order to evaluate the wellbeing of mice, a distress score, burrowing activity, nesting behavior, and body weight was assessed. Before induction of pancreatitis, neither tramadol nor metamizole influenced these readout parameters. Chronic pancreatitis caused a significantly increased distress score, decreased burrowing activity and a reduction in body weight. Mice drinking tramadol-supplemented water experienced less loss in body weight and consumed more water than mice drinking metamizole, at a few time-points during chronic pancreatitis. Pancreatic atrophy, a characteristic feature of chronic pancreatitis was not differentially influenced by either analgesic. In conclusion, both analgesics can be used during 33 days of chronic pancreatitis, but tramadol seems to be moderately advantageous when compared to metamizole.

Poly(vinyl alcohol boric acid)-Diclofenac Sodium Salt Drug Delivery Systems: Experimental and Theoretical Studies. J Immunol Res 2020; 2020:3124304.

Abstract
The main aim of the paper was to simulate the drug release by a multifractal theoretical model, as a valuable method to assess the drug release mechanism. To do this, drug delivery films were prepared by mixing poly(vinyl alcohol boric acid) (PVAB) and diclofenac (DCF) sodium salt drug in different mass ratios from 90/10 to 70/30, in order to obtain drug delivery systems with different releasing rates. The different drug content of the three systems was confirmed by energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDAX) analysis, and the encapsulation particularities were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and polarized optical microscopy (POM) techniques. The ability of the PVAB matrix to anchor the DCF was assessed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The in vitro release of the diclofenac sodium salt from the formulations was investigated in biomimetic conditions (pH = 7.4 and 37°C) by UV-Vis spectroscopy, measuring the absorbance of the drug at 275 nm and fitting the results on a previously drawn calibration curve. An estimation of the drug release kinetics was performed by fitting three traditional mathematical models on experimental release data. Further, the drug delivery was simulated by the fractal theory of motion, in which the release dynamics of the polymer-drug complex system is described through various Riccati-type "regimes." To explain such dynamics involved multifractal self-modulation in the form of period doubling, quasiperiodicity, intermittency, etc., as well as multifractal self-modulation of network type. Standard release dynamics were explained by multifractal behaviors of temporary kink type. The good correlation between the traditional mathematical models and the new proposed theoretical model demonstrated the validity of the multifractal model for the investigation of the drug release.
