  • - Recent research has identified a SARS-CoV-2-related virus, PCoV-GX/P2V, in pangolins, raising concerns about its potential to infect humans.
  • - PCoV-GX/P2V can effectively replicate in human cells and causes serious lung issues in mice, indicating its pathogenicity.
  • - Current immunity from SARS-CoV-2 may not protect against PCoV-GX/P2V, emphasizing the need for close monitoring to prevent cross-species transmission.

Objective: To investigate the expressions of NF-kappaB and TNF-alpha in lumbar spinal cord in a rat model of chronic constrictive injury (CCI).

Methods: Seventy-six male SD rats were randomly divided into 2 groups (n = 38 each): CCI group receiving chronic constriction injury and sham group receiving sham operation as control. The mechanical and thermal nociceptive thresholds were assessed with paw withdrawal latency (PWL) to von Frey filaments and radiant heat at different time points.
