缓解疼痛皮肤贴或摆脱副作用困扰
A clear skin patch called TEPI delivers the painkiller 1 ibuprofen right where it hurts. While pills can cause stomach upset,but not the patch. Scientists at the University of Warwick in England developed it and adhesive 2 infused with the painkiller.
一种名为TEPI的皮肤贴会将止痛药布洛芬直接送至痛处。而服用药片会引起胃部不适,但这种皮肤贴就不会产生这样的副作用。英国华威大学的科学家们研发了这种皮肤贴并且在其中加入了止痛药。
"Up to 30 percent of the adhesive will be the ibuprofen. And then, when that's placed on the skin just like an, then the drug will actually diffuse 3 across the skin into the body at the site of the pain, and then relieve the pain the same way as current gels and creams."
“粘合剂的30%的是止痛药布洛芬。而后，这样贴在皮肤上,药物就会沿着皮肤扩散直达身体疼痛处,就像现在的凝胶和乳膏一样减轻痛苦。”
The ibuprofen patch could deliver uninterrupted pain relief for up to 24 hours. The patch is being manufactured by Medherant, a bioadhesive company affiliated 4 with the University.
这种布洛芬贴能够提供不间断24小时的缓解疼痛。附属于这所大学的生物公司Medherant正准备将这种贴投入生产。
"We've been in the lab about 12 months,but in the 12 months, we've essentially 5 assessed about 90 percent of the drugs that are currently available as either creams or patches. We've tested them in our polymers with very good results."
“我们已经在实验室中进行了12个月的研究,但在这12个月中,我们已经对乳霜或止痛贴中90%的药物进行了基本评估。经我们测试，显示结果很好。”
