The occurring frequency of 14 most common chemotherapy and anti-nausea drug side-effects was examined. The studies were performed on 29 women with ovarian cancer treated by total number of 125 chemotherapy courses (schedule PAC and Acy) and additionally, in order to eliminate nausea caused by the chemotherapy, by anti-nausea drugs (Zofran, Solu-Medrol, Droperidol, Metoclopramide + Fenactil, Torecan). Zofran caused the fewest number of side-effects, solu-medrol inhibited nausea and vomiting significantly, however it caused many side-effects such as flush on a face, restlessness, incitement and headaches. Torecan did not prevent patients from vomiting. The greatest number of side-effects was observed after droperidol and metoclopramide + fenactil treatment.

Pathology are still progressive and cumulative in the remission course of relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS), thus drug treatment during the remission period may play a great role for the regeneration of the myelin sheath. C57BL/6 mice were fed with cuprizone (CPZ, 0.2% w/w) for 5 weeks to induce acute demyelination and oligodendrocytes degeneration, after which CPZ was withdrawn to allow recovery. Icariin (ICA, 6.25, 12.5 and 25mg/kg/day), vehicle (0.5% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solution) or water was administrated orally to mice for 1 week after CPZ withdrawal. Luxol-fast blue (LFB), immunohistochemical or immunofluorescence staining was used to detect morphological and biological changes in the brains. CPZ administration for 5 weeks resulted in completely demyelination and remyelination occurred when CPZ was withdrawn. ICA treatment during the recovery period for 1 week significantly improved myelin restoration, enhanced NF200-positive axons repair, increased the number of APC+/Olig2+ mature oligodendrocytes and prevented neuron-derived neurotrophic factor such as nerve growth factor (NGF) loss. Our results demonstrated that ICA treatment during the recovery period promotes remyelination and axon rewrapped, at least, in part, by promoting oligodendrogenesis and neurotrophic factor production.
