Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a composition containing acetylcysteine ​​and an antifoaming agent and its application in endoscopic examination. Background Technology

[0002] The prognosis of gastric cancer patients is closely related to the stage at diagnosis. The 5-year survival rate after surgery for advanced gastric cancer is less than 30%, while the 5-year survival rate for early-stage gastric cancer exceeds 90% after aggressive treatment. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment are key to treating gastric cancer. Gastroscopy screening in high-risk groups is an important measure to detect early gastric cancer, but foam and mucus in the stomach often affect the clarity of the endoscope, easily leading to missed diagnoses of early gastric cancer.

[0003] To improve clarity during endoscopic examinations and minimize missed diagnoses, oral defoaming and antimucus agents are particularly necessary before the procedure. The 2021 joint consensus of the Spanish Society of Gastroenterology (AEG), the Spanish Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (SEED), and the Spanish Society of Anatomical Pathology (SEAP) recommends: oral administration of 200 mg simethicone + 500 or 1000 mg acetylcysteine ​​before endoscopy to improve gastric mucosal visualization (high level of evidence; strongly recommended). The 2020 Japanese Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy's guidelines for the endoscopic diagnosis of early gastric cancer strongly recommend the use of antimucus agents and defoaming agents to improve mucosal clarity, specifically recommending streptomycin + NaHCO3 + simethicone or acetylcysteine ​​+ simethicone.

[0004] Both simethicone powder and methyl silicone oil have antifoaming properties, mainly due to their primary ingredient, methyl silicone oil. However, methyl silicone oil can only eliminate foam in the gastric cavity and cannot remove mucus adhering to the gastric mucosa. Streptomycin has a significant mucus-removing effect, but its antifoaming effect is relatively weak. Acetylcysteine ​​is also a mucus-removing agent; it can break the disulfide bonds of mucin in mucus, thereby decomposing the mucin and reducing the viscosity of the mucus. Using antifoaming agents or mucus-removing agents alone is insufficient to achieve ideal pre-endoscopic preparation results; clinical practice usually requires the combined use of multiple products.

[0005] Lumevis (trade name / brand name) is a CE-certified medical device from the European Union. It is a 50mL oral suspension containing water, silicone oil, acetic acid, acetylcysteine, fragrance, sodium hydroxide, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, xanthan gum, sucralose, etc. Lumevis has both defoaming and mucus-reducing effects, improving the clarity of the operating field and patient compliance. The acetylcysteine ​​and acetic acid in the formula have a synergistic mucus-reducing effect, while silicone oil primarily acts as a defoaming agent. Summary of the Invention

[0154] 4. Sample solution preparation: Dissolve one bag of sample from Example 9 in 25 ml of warm water to obtain sample solution 2; dissolve 1 g of sodium bicarbonate in 25 ml of warm water to obtain sample solution 3.

[0155] 5. Sample testing: Add 2.5 ml of sample solution 2 and 2.5 ml of sample solution 3 to the foam model and react under the condition of keeping warm at 37℃. Observe and record the foam situation in the beaker at 15 min and 30 min respectively.

[0156] 6. Blank control: Add 5 ml of warm water (blank control liquid 1) to the foam model and react under the condition of keeping warm at 37℃. Observe and record the foam situation in the beaker at 15 min and 30 min respectively.

[0157] 7. Experimental results: The amount of foam in the sample group decreased significantly after 15 minutes, and there was almost no foam in the beaker after 30 minutes; the amount of foam in the blank control group decreased.

[0158] 8. Experimental conclusion: In the mucin acidic liquid foam model, the sample of Example 9 has a defoaming effect.
