An Experimental Study on the Protective Effect of Memantine in Noise‐Induced Hearing Loss

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study examined the potential protective effects of memantine, an N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, against acoustic trauma (AT) in guinea pigs, using electrophysiological and histopathological analyses. Methods Thirty guinea pigs with normal hearing were divided into six groups (n = 5 per group): Group 1 (control),

Chronic memantine administration prevents ouabain-induced hyperactivity in mice via maintenance of Na+, K+-ATPase activity in the hippocampus

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2019
We have previously reported that mice received intracerebroventricular injection of ouabain, an inhibitor of Na+, K+-ATPase, exhibited hyperactivity via overactivation of glutamatergic neurons.

Cancer pain: current practice and emerging targets

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cancer pain (CP) arises from a complex interplay between the tumour and its microenvironment. Many patients experience a mixed pain phenotype that encompasses nociceptive, neuropathic and neuroinflammatory mechanisms, and vary across tumour type and disease stage. Despite decades of intensive research, the mainstay of cancer pain treatment is still non‐
