Spinal cannabinoid receptor 2 activation alleviates neuropathic pain by regulating microglia and suppressing P2X7 receptor

238 views | Nov 19 2023

The study demonstrates that continuous activation of cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2R) with the specific agonist PM226 promotes a neuroprotective transition in microglia, attenuates neuropathic pain, and reduces proinflammatory P2X7 receptor content, offering a potential therapeutic avenue for managing neuropathic pain with low abuse potential.

Role of P2X7R in eosinophilic and non‑eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps

148 views | Oct 30 2023

The study found that P2X7R is overexpressed in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), and its activation mediates NLRP3 inflammasome activation, suggesting its potential role in the pathogenesis of CRSwNP. [Read the Full Post]

The purinergic receptors 2X3 on spiral ganglion neurons enhance the medial olivocochlear reflex in mice after long-term moderate noise exposure

225 views | Oct 07 2023

Long-term moderate noise exposure increases the expression of P2X3 receptors in spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) and enhances the medial olivocochlear (MOC) reflex, which can be downregulated by AF-353, a specific antagonist for P2X3 receptors. [Read the Full Post]

A Cardiologists' Survey on the Use of Anticoagulants and Antiplatelets in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and Acute Coronary Syndrome or Those Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in India

365 views | Apr 22 2023

The survey found that in India, the majority of cardiologists use triple therapy (NOAC + dual antiplatelet) or NOAC + single antiplatelet therapy to manage patients with AF and ACS or undergoing PCI, with NOACs being the preferred anticoagulant and ticagrelor and clopidogrel being the preferred P2Y12 inhibitors.

In Greece, one in ten patients experience a recurring cardiovascular event or death, mainly of ischemic origin, 1-3 years post myocardial infarction, according to results from the TIGREECE study. [Read the Full Post]

Roles of light transmission aggregometry and CYP2C19 genotype in predicting ischaemic complications during interventional therapy for intracranial aneurysms

335 views | Feb 19 2023

The study concluded that maximum platelet aggregation induced by ADP (ADP-MPA) can predict ischaemic events during endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms and patients with flow diverters require stronger antiplatelet medication than patients with traditional stents. [Read the Full Post]

A pilot study of chemotherapy combinations in rats: Focus on mammary cancer treatment in female dogs

511 views | Feb 17 2023

This study found that the bioavailability of carboplatin increased when combined with ivermectin and cyclophosphamide in rats, but with a higher increase in the latter, suggesting a slight reduction in carboplatin's dose when combined with cyclophosphamide to avoid increased adverse effects.
