The evoked expression of the immediate early gene-encoded proteins c-Fos and Krox-24 was used to study activation of hindbrain neurons as a function of the development of cyclophosphamide (CP) cystitis in behaving rats. CP-injected animals received a single dose of 100 mg/kg i.p. under transient
OBJECTIVE
To develop a model of visceral pain in rats using a behavioral approach. Cyclophosphamide (CP), an antitumoral agent known to produce toxic effects on the bladder wall through its main toxic metabolite acrolein, was used to induce cystitis.
METHODS
CP was administered at doses of 50, 100
The evoked expression of the immediate early gene (IEG)-encoded proteins c-Fos and Krox-24 was used to monitor spinal visceronociceptive processing that results from cyclophosphamide cystitis in behaving rats. Animals received a single dose of 100 mg/kg i.p. of cyclophosphamide and survived for 30
OBJECTIVE
To analyze gene expression profiles in an experimental pancreatitis and provide functional reversal of hypersensitivity with candidate gene endothelin-1 antagonists.
METHODS
Dibutyltin dichloride (DBTC) is a chemical used as a polyvinyl carbonate stabilizer/catalyzer, biocide in
To clarify potential relationships between chief complaints of patients and laboratory data with a focus on aging-related changes, we retrospectively analyzed the data of 843 patients who visited a general medicine department for the first time. Their chief complaints were classified into 8 major
OBJECTIVE
We previously described the visceral antinociceptive property of alpha, beta-amyrin in a mouse model of cystitis induced by cyclophosphamide (CPM). This study examined the contribution of vanilloid-1 (TRPV1), peripheral NK1 receptors to CPM-evoked nociceptive behaviors and bladder edema,
Laser acupuncture is defined as the stimulation of traditional acupuncture points with low-intensity, non-thermal laser irradiation. We explored the clinical efficacy of a very low level diode laser wavelength 670 nm (Biolite LP020, RGM, Genoa, Italy), used to stimulate acupoints ST36 Zu San Li and
Uncaria tomentosa is widely used in folk medicine for the treatment of numerous diseases, such as urinary tract disease. Hemorrhagic cystitis (HE) is an inflammatory condition of the bladder associated with the use of anticancer drugs such as cyclophosphamide (CYP). Sodium 2-mercaptoethanesulfonate
BACKGROUND
Eugenia brasiliensis Lam. (Myrtaceae) is a Brazilian tree distributed throughout Atlantic rain forest, since Bahia until Santa Catarina state, and is popularly known as "grumixaba, grumixameira, cumbixaba, ibaporoiti, and cereja-brasileira". The bark and leaves of Eugenia brasiliensis are
OBJECTIVE
Belamcanda chinensis has been used in oriental medicine for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. Tectorigenin is a main compound in B. chinensis and possess inhibitory activity against inflammatory responses. Thus, the current study aimed at evaluating toxicity as well as analgesic and
Pain intensity in chronic venous disease varies with the stage in the clinical-etiologic-anatomic-pathophysiologic (CEAP) classification but also with patient perception, pain being by definition subjective. The venous hypertension responsible for the varicose veins and trophic changes in CVD has a
This work reports the purification of new potent scorpion neuropeptide, named BotAF, by an activity-guided screening approach. BotAF is a 64-residue long-chain peptide that shares very high similarity with the original β-like scorpion toxin group, in which several peptides have been characterized to
High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), one of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), plays roles in not only inflammation but also processing of somatic pain. Given that no evidence for roles of HMGB1 in visceral pain signaling is available, we asked if HMGB1 participates in bladder pain
Gabapentin, a drug used to treat neuropathic pain, was evaluated in models of acute nociceptive pain, in instances of haloperidol-induced catalepsy, carrageenan-induced paw edema, gastric lesions caused by indomethacin or ethanol, and gastric acid secretion in rats. Reaction time in a hot plate
Interstitial cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome (IC/BPS) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by visceral pain and voiding symptoms. IC/BPS is still an unsolved enigma with ineffective diagnosis criteria and treatment. A main limitation in IC/BPS understanding is the lack of appropriate
