The effects of a number of 5-HT receptor ligands were examined on nonopioid defensive analgesia in male DBA/2 mice. MDL 73005EF (0.05-1.0 mg/kg), a selective 5-HT1A receptor agonist, potently and dose-dependently inhibited the analgesic consequences of social defeat. CGS 12066B (0.5-10.0 mg/kg) and MK-212 (0.3-10.0 mg/kg), selective agonists for 5-HT1B and 5-HT1C sites, respectively, failed to influence this particular form of adaptive pain inhibition. Two 5-HT2/1C receptor antagonists, ritanserin (0.05-10.0 mg/kg) and ICI 169.369 (0.3-10.0 mg/kg), were also devoid of specific effects upon defensive analgesia. Both ritanserin and ICI 169,369 were found to have intrinsic analgetic efficacy and to induce behavioural changes indicative of increased defensiveness. These data, together with previous findings, confirm the specific involvement of 5-HT1A receptor mechanisms in the analgesic consequences of social defeat in male mice. Results are discussed in relation to the role of anxiety in adaptive pain inhibition.

The current opioid crisis urgently calls for developing non-addictive pain medications. Progress has been slow, highlighting the need to uncover targets with unique mechanisms of action. Extracellular adenosine alleviates pain by activating the adenosine A1 receptor (A1R).

Fear-induced antinociception (FIA), an instinctive defensive response producing pain suppression in stressful and/or dangerous situations, has been the subject of extensive research to elucidate the mechanisms involved in triggering and controlling pain during emotional disorders. In this systematic review, we synthesized pre-clinical studies that demonstrated the neural hodology and the neurochemical bases of FIA in laboratory animals. The literature search in PubMed, Web of Science, Science Direct, and Scopus, from inception up to July 2022, retrieved 797 articles from which 50 studies were included in this review.

Activation of the ion channel transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), which is integral to pain perception, leads to an expansion of channel width, facilitating the passage of cations and large organic molecules. However, the permeability of TRPV1 channels to water remains uncertain, owing to a lack of suitable tools to study water dynamics. Here, using upconversion nanophosphors to discriminate between HO and DO, by monitoring water permeability across activated TRPV1 at the single-cell and single-molecule levels, and by combining single-channel current measurements with molecular dynamics simulations, we show that water molecules flow through TRPV1 and reveal a direct connection between water migration, cation flow and TRPV1 functionality.

Article Synopsis
- - Hemorrhage is the main cause of preventable death in trauma situations, leading to military and civilian advancements in medical practices, particularly through the use of tourniquets to manage extremity bleeding and save lives.
- - While tourniquets have significantly decreased deaths from bleeding in military settings, noncompressible hemorrhage still poses a major risk, especially before patients receive definitive medical care.
- - The study explores using a small, disposable pressure monitor during resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) to enhance blood pressure monitoring, facilitate better resuscitation practices, and reduce the need for blood products in extreme environments.

Study Objective: Peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs) are widely used for postoperative analgesia, but rebound pain following block resolution poses a significant clinical challenge. Dexamethasone, administered either intravenously (IV) or perineurally, has shown promise in reducing rebound pain incidence, but the optimal route remains unclear. This network meta-analysis (NMA) aims to compare the effectiveness of different routes of dexamethasone administration, including IV, perineural, and control, in reducing the incidence of rebound pain following PNBs.
