Article Synopsis
  • - The study explores how Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells affect pain perception in mice by inoculating them in different areas, focusing on their impact on pain behavior and spinal Fos expression.
  • - Results showed that higher doses of LLC cells increased pain responses and spinal Fos levels compared to control mice, indicating a significant effect of cancer cells on pain pathways.
  • - Ibuprofen treatment reduced the enhanced pain behavior and spinal Fos expression, suggesting that inflammatory factors and LLC cell signals play major roles in developing pain early in lung cancer.

The administration of diluted bee venom (DBV) into an acupuncture point has been utilized traditionally in Eastern medicine to treat chronic pain. We demonstrated previously that DBV has a potent anti-nociceptive efficacy in several rodent pain models. The present study was designed to examine the potential anti-nociceptive effect of repetitive DBV treatment in the development of below-level neuropathic pain in spinal cord injury (SCI) rats.

This study was designed to determine the antinociceptive effect and related neuronal mechanism of electroacupuncture (EA) on paclitaxel (PTX)-induced neuropathic pain in mice. PTX (4 mg/kg, i.p.
