Paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy is a common adverse effect during paclitaxel treatment resulting in sensory abnormalities and neuropathic pain chemotherapy cancer survivors. Conventional therapies are usually ineffective possess effects. Here, we examined the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) on rat model paclitaxel-induced related mechanisms. EA robustly persistently alleviated hypersensitivities. Mechanistically, TLR4 (Toll-Like Receptor 4) downstream signaling MyD88 (Myeloid...

Chronic pain, such as neuropathic causes anxiety and other negative emotions, which aggravates the pain sensation increases risk of chronic over time. Dopamine receptor D1 (DRD1) dopamine D2 (DRD2) in basolateral amygdala (BLA) have been implicated mediating anxiety-related behaviors, but their potential roles BLA pain-induced not examined. Electroacupuncture (EA) is commonly used to treat emotional disorders, it still unclear whether EA plays a role analgesia relief through DRD1 DRD2 BLA....

Abstract Background Complex regional pain syndrome type-I (CRPS-I) causes excruciating that affect patients’ life quality. However, the mechanisms underlying CRPS-I are incompletely understood, which hampers development of target specific therapeutics. Methods The mouse chronic post-ischemic (CPIP) model was established to mimic CRPS-I. qPCR, Western blot, immunostaining, behavioral assay and pharmacological methods were used study neuroinflammation in spinal cord dorsal horn (SCDH) CPIP...

Abstract Aims Epidemiological studies in patients with neuropathic pain have demonstrated a strong association between and psychiatric conditions such as anxiety. Preclinical clinical work has that electroacupuncture (EA) effectively alleviates anxiety‐like behaviors induced by chronic pain. In this study, potential neural circuitry underlying the therapeutic action of EA was investigated. Methods The effects stimulation on mechanical allodynia animal models spared nerve injury (SNI) were...

Modulation and suppression of the immune response host by nematode parasites have been reported extensively cysteine protease inhibitor (CPI or cystatin) is identified as one major immunomodulators. In present study, we cloned produced recombinant CPI protein from murine parasite Heligmosomoides polygyrus (rHp-CPI) investigated its immunomodulatory effects on dendritic cell (DC) function responses in mice. Bone-marrow-derived CD11c(+) DC (BMDC) that were exposed to rHp-CPI during...

Abstract Background Complex regional pain syndrome type-I (CRPS-I) is a progressive and devastating condition. The mechanisms of CRPS-I still remain poorly understood. We aim to explore expression profiles genes relevant neuroinflammation involved in CRPS-I. Methods rat chronic post-ischemic (CPIP) model that mimics human was established. RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq), qPCR, Western blot, immunostaining, pharmacological studies were used for profiling gene changes ipsilateral spinal cord dorsal...

Abstract Background Gout results from disturbed uric acid metabolism, which causes urate crystal deposition in joints and surrounding tissues. pain management is largely limited to colchicine nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Constant usage of these medications leads severe side effects. We previously showed electroacupuncture (EA) effective for relieving animal model gout arthritis. Here we continued study the mechanisms underlying how EA alleviates pain. Methods Monosodium was injected...

Excessive deposition of monosodium urate (MSU) crystal in the joint results gout arthritis, which triggers severe pain and affects life quality. Oxidative stress is a pivotal mechanism that contributes to etiology inflammation. Here we investigated whether activating Nrf2, plays important roles regulating endogenous antioxidant response, would attenuate arthritis via promoting signaling tissues. Gout model was established by intra-articular injection MSU (500 μg/ankle) into right ankle...

The gut microflora play a very important role in the life of animals. Although an increasing number studies have investigated microbiota birds recent years, there is lack research work on wild birds, especially carnivorous raptors, which are thought to be pathogen vectors. There also focused dynamics during development raptors. In this study, 16S rRNA gene amplicon high-throughput sequencing was used analyze community composition medium-sized raptor, Eurasian Kestrel ( Falco tinnunculus ),...
