We used enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA), immunohistochemistry (IHC), and quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to determine whether interleukin (IL)-10 protein is changed after unilateral crush or chronic constriction injury (CCI) of mouse or rat sciatic nerve and whether IL-10 protein and mRNA are differentially regulated. In the mouse sciatic nerve, IL-10 protein declined rapidly to 10-20% of baseline early after crush or CCI, while the IL10 mRNA was up-regulated with a maximum on Days 1 and 3. In the rat sciatic nerve, IL-10 protein was significantly reduced on Day 3 after CCI, and IL-10 mRNA was up-regulated in both models. These results suggest that changes of the local cytokine network during wallerian degeneration include an early deficiency of the antiinflammatory cytokine IL-10 despite up-regulation at the mRNA level.

Background: Neuropathic pain (NP) is a debilitating condition caused by lesion or dysfunction in the somatosensory nervous system. Accumulation of advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) is implicated in mechanical hyperalgesia. However, the effects of AOPPs on NP remain unclear.

: We previously demonstrated that the intranasal administration of cell-penetrating Tat peptide-modified carrier, PEG-PCL-Tat, improves drug delivery to the central nervous system. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of the post-onset intranasal administration of -acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) combined with PEG-PCL-Tat (NAC/PPT) for neuropathic pain. : Neuropathic pain was induced by partial sciatic nerve ligation (PSNL) in mice.

The development of novel long-acting injectables for local anesthetics is necessary to effectively manage the acute postoperative pain. The aim of this study was to prepare an injectable oil-based formulation of ropivacaine (ROP) prodrug (ropivacaine stearoxil, ROP-ST) and to investigate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics after injectable administration. A novel -acyloxymethyl prodrug of ROP, i.

Endometriosis is a widely spread disease that affects about 8% of the world's female population. This condition may be described as a spread of endometrial tissue apart from the uterine cavity, but this process's pathomechanism is still unsure. Apart from classic endometriosis symptoms, which are pelvic pain, infertility, and bleeding problems, there are neuropsychiatric comorbidities that are usually difficult to diagnose.

The anatomy of the sciatic nerve allows it to be blocked at different levels using various anesthetic approaches. However, for several reasons, performing these approaches may be challenging or disadvantageous in specific categories of patients, particularly in obese patients. The objective of this brief technical report is to describe a new technical approach to sciatic nerve block, designed to simplify the procedure for certain categories of patients and less experienced practitioners.
