We compared the effect of xymedon (100 mg/kg) and Mexidol (50 mg/kg) on morphometric parameters of erythrocytes and oxygen-transporting function of hemoglobin in rats with Walker-256 carcinoma treated with docetaxel (15 mg/kg once intraperitoneally on day 11 after tumor cells transplantation). Xymedon and Mexidol were injected intramuscularly for 10 days starting from day 11 of the experiment. The studied parameters were evaluated on experimental days 14 and 22. Similar to Mexidol, xymedon prevented changes in the erythrocyte geometric parameters induced by docetaxel and neoplastic process, but increased hemoglobin packing density in erythrocytes (by 32%) more effectively than Mexidol. Optimization of oxygen-transporting function of hemoglobin and normalization of its structural and functional parameters changed by docetaxel treatment (content of oxyhemoglobin, hemoglobin affinity for oxygen and its ability to bind and release oxygen, intensity of symmetric and asymmetric vibrations of pyrrole rings) in rats receiving xymedon took longer time than in case of Mexidol treatment, but the effects were similar.

Cancer pain is one of the most common symptoms in patients with advanced cancer. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of the -related gene C (MrgC) receptors on bone cancer pain. Mechanical withdrawal threshold (MWT) and thermal withdrawal latency (TWL) were measured after the inoculation of Walker 256 mammary gland carcinoma cells into the tibia of adult Sprague-Dawley rats.

While low-dose cannabinoid 2 (CB2) receptor agonists attenuate morphine tolerance in cancer pain models, chemokine ligand 12 (CXCL12)/chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) expression induces morphine tolerance. Whether CB2 receptor agonists attenuate morphine tolerance by modulating CXCL12/CXCR4 signaling or whether CXCL12/CXCR4 signaling affects the mu opioid receptor (MOR) in the development of morphine tolerance in cancer pain remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the attenuation of morphine tolerance by a non-analgesic dose of the CB2 receptor agonist AM1241, focusing specifically on the modulation of CXCL12/CXCR4 signaling and its effect on the MOR.

: this study investigates the efficacy, immunological impact, and preliminary safety of methotrexate (MTX) modified magnetic FeO nanoparticles in thermochemotherapy for mammary tumors in rats. : transmission electron microscopy images revealed that the MTX-modified magnetic FeO nanoparticles are nearly spherical, approximately 10 nm in diameter. Chemically co-precipitated PEI-modified magnetic nanoparticles were utilized for thermotherapy, while MTX-modified nanoparticles were employed for thermochemotherapy.
