As a widely used drug in clinical practice, aspirin has a large number of residual drugs and metabolites discharged into the environment during the pharmaceutical process or after taking the drug. Aspirin content and its metabolite, salicylic acid, have been reported and detected in several river water samples and municipal wastewaters. However, little is known about the toxicity mechanisms of this drug in aquatic invertebrates. Read More

Aims: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) used to treat chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) can cause cardiovascular adverse events. So far, the Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE) charts of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) have been used to identify cancer patients at increased cardiovascular risk. The primary aim of our study was to evaluate the usefulness of the new cardiovascular risk assessment model proposed by the Cardio-Oncology Study Group of the Heart Failure Association (HFA) of the ESC in collaboration with the International Cardio-Oncology Society (ICOS) to stratify the cardiovascular risk in CML patients, compared with SCORE risk charts.

Despite the availability of analytic data, little is known about the toxicity of salicylic acid (SA) on aquatic non-target organisms. The present study aimed at evaluating the impact of SA through a short-term exposure of the Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis to five environmentally relevant concentrations of SA. A set of suitable biomarkers was applied at selected time-points on mussel digestive glands, including histological observations and expression of oxidative stress related genes. Read More

Salinity reduces agricultural productivity majorly by inhibiting seed germination. Exogenous salicylic acid (SA) can prevent the harm caused to rice by salinity, but the mechanisms by which it promotes rice seed germination under salt stress are unclear. In this study, the inhibition of germination in salt-sensitive Nipponbare under salt stress was greater than that in salt-tolerant Huaidao 5. Read More

Objective: Pendrin is a transmembrane protein encoded by the SLC26A4 gene that functions in maintaining ion concentrations in the endolymph of the inner ear, most likely by acting as a chloride/bicarbonate transporter. Variants in the SLC26A4 gene are responsible for sensorineural hearing loss. Although pendrin localizes to the plasma membrane, we previously identified that 8 missense allele products of SLC26A4 were retained in the intracellular region and lost their anion exchange function.

Aspirin overdose is still a common cause of presentation to the emergency department and is commonly seen in the setting of one-time, accidental or intentional ingestion of large amounts of salicylate-containing compounds, though can occur with long-term ingestion of super-therapeutic doses of medications. Salicylate toxicity has a predictable progression from early respiratory alkalosis to late metabolic acidosis. We present the case of a 14-year-old girl who intentionally ingested a handful of Aspirin and despite appropriate therapy, developed transient proximal tubule dysfunction. Read More

Aspirin (also known as acetylsalicylic acid) is a drug intended to treat fever, pain, or inflammation. Treatment of moderate to severe cases of COVID-19 using aspirin along with dexamethasone has gained major attention globally in recent times. Thus, the purpose of this study was to use High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) to evaluate the in vitro inhibition of CYP3A2 enzyme activity using aspirin in rat liver microsomes (RLMs).

In this study, a 120-day whole-life cycle exposure and oviposition experiment on zebrafish with maternal and paternal mixed mating strategy was conducted to investigate the epigenetic mechanism of DNA methylation in ethylhexyl salicylate (EHS, 1, 10, 100 μg/L)-induced transgenerational effects. Results showed that EHS could induce the decrease of DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) activity and average global DNA methylation level in maternal parents and the increase of the above indexes in paternal parents, while the change of glycine N-methyltransferase activity was opposite to DNMT1. The average global DNA methylation levels were significantly increased in the offsprings of both parents exposed and father-only exposed to EHS, suggesting that EHS-induced epigenetic modifications may be stable and heritable.

Aberrant TGF‑β/Smad7 signaling has been reported to be an important mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the effects of a number of potential anti‑colitis agents on intestinal epithelial permeability and the TGF‑β/Smad7 signaling pathway in an experimental model of colitis. A mouse model of colitis was first established before anti‑TNF‑α and 5‑aminosalicyclic acid (5‑ASA) were administered intraperitoneally and orally, respectively. Read More

In general, paracetamol poisoning is associated with hepatotoxicity and very rarely with renal impairment in the absence of significant hepatic impairment. Paracetamol poisoning associated with renal impairment is rare, and it is mostly associated with hepatotoxicity. Most patients with acute renal impairment show a pattern of acute tubular necrosis or injury based on their blood, clinical presentation, and imaging. Read More

Although a number of therapeutic strategies have been applied in cancer therapy, treatment for cancer metastasis is challenging due to unsatisfactory cure rate and easy cancer recurrence. In our work, nanocomposites (NCs) based on polypyrrole-coated mesoporous TiO with a suitable size are prepared through a modified soft-templating strategy, which integrates double prodrugs (doxorubicin (DOX) prodrug and aspirin prodrug) with superior drug loading capacity. Under external stimulation of near-infrared (NIR) and ultrasound (US), the prepared nanocomposites have an excellent photothermal conversion efficiency (over 50. Read More

Most hyperaccumulator plants have little economic values, and therefore have not been widely used in Cd-contaminated soils. Rape species are Cd hyperaccumulators with high economic values. Black mustard seed (Brassica juncea) has a higher accumulation ability and a higher tolerance for Cd than oilseed rape (Brassica napus), but its biomass is relatively low and its geographical distribution is limited.
