background: cyclooxygenase (cox) enzyme known as a regulatory factor in synaptic plasticity. it has been reported that synaptic plasticity is one of the mechanisms involved in learning and memory processes. in the current study peripheral injection's effects of sodium salicylate (as a non selective cox inhibitor) on spatial learning and memory have been investigated. methods: four groups of mal...

DRUGS AND UPTAKE OF 32p BY ERYTHROCYTES 533' 5. Sodium salicylate and sodium thiopentone depressed the 32p uptake of 2:3-diphosphoglycerate and adenosine triphosphate to a greater extent than they depressed the 32P exchange of inorganic phosphate and hexose monophosphate. These agents do not depress 32p uptake by inhibiting triose phosphate dehydrogenase, for neither drug had any effect on glyc...

The outer hair cell (OHC) is a hydrostat with a low hydraulic conductivity of Pf=3x10(-4) cm/s across the plasma membrane (PM) and subsurface cisterna that make up the OHC's lateral wall. The SSC is structurally and functionally a transport barrier in normal cells that is known to be disrupted by salicylate. The effect of sodium salicylate on Pf is determined from osmotic experiments in which i...

Forty-four adults with aspirin poisoning were treated with oral fluids only, standard forced alkaline diuresis, forced diuresis alone, or sodium bicarbonate (alkali) alone. Alkali alone was at least as effective and possibly more effective than forced alkaline diuresis in enhancing salicylate removal. Unlike the diuresis regimens it did not cause fluid retention or biochemical disturbances. The...

A new experimental method for in vitro release studies of poorly soluble drugs from polymeric micelle systems was developed using a hydrotropic agent, sodium salicylate. It is difficult to maintain a good sink condition for poorly water-soluble drugs, such as paclitaxel (PTX), because of their low aqueous solubility. In this study, a good sink condition for PTX was achieved by using aqueous sod...

The effects of neuroglobin (NGB) gene transfer in vivo mediated by GeneJamer on the hearing response properties of the inferior colliculus (IC) neurons in mice after administration of sodium salicylate were studied. Forty-eight Kunming mice were divided into 4 groups (n=12 in each group): Group A1 (negative control);Group A2 (positive control);Group B, sodium salicylate (450 mg/kg every day) + ...
