Studies suggest that astrocytes and microglia in the spinal cord are involved development of persistent pain induced by tissue inflammation nerve injury. However, role glial cells bone cancer is not well understood. The present study evaluated activation a novel rat model produced injecting AT-3.1 prostate into unilateral tibia male Copenhagen rats. structural damage to was monitored radiological analysis. thermal hyperalgesia, mechanical hyperalgesia allodynia, spontaneous flinch were...
Although it has been shown that pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) facilitate perception of noxious inputs at the spinal level, mechanisms have not understood. This study determined cell type produces IL-1beta, co-localization IL-1 receptor I (IL-1RI) and Fos NR1 in cord, effects antagonist (IL-1ra) on phosphorylation hyperalgesia a rat model inflammatory pain. Phosphorylation NR1, an essential subunit NMDA (NMDAR), is known to modulate NMDAR activity...
This purpose of this article is to contrast the analgesic efficacy acupuncture following dental surgery with effects based on expectation benefit in two independently conducted placebo-controlled trials evaluating as an adjunctive therapy for surgery. Both used pain outcome variable, and both included a blinding check ascertain patients’ beliefs regarding which treatment they were receiving.

Loss of synapses has been correlated with dementia in Alzheimer's disease (AD) as an early event during the progression. Hence, synaptogenesis and neurogenesis adulthood could serve a therapeutic target for prevention treatment AD. Recently, we have demonstrated enhanced hippocampal by oral administration Ginkgo biloba extract (EGb 761) to mouse model This study aims identify constituents that contribute EGb 761-induced neurogenesis. Among tested, bilobalide quercetin significantly increased...
