Aim: To explore the effects of intrathecal injection of selective cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) inhibitor, SC-560, on mechanical allo dynia and spinal ERK protein expression in rats with postoperative pain.
Methods: Rats were divided into 4 groups: control group, postoperative pain group, SC-560 group and DMSO group. Mechanical withdrawal threshold (MWT), immunohistochemical and Western blotting technique were used to evaluate mechanical hypersensitivity and the expression of phospho-ERK in the spinal cord, respectively.
Results: (1) Behavior test rats developed allodynia 1 h after operation and SC-560 100 microg administrated intrathecally demonstrated a significant reduction in postoperative hypersensitivity. (2) Immunohistochemical staining Phospho-ERK positive neurons in the rat superficial spinal dorsal horn increased significantly 1 h after incision compared with that of non-incision group. Intrathecal administration of SC-560 preoperatively could significantly reduce the number of phospho-ERK positive neurons. (3) Western blot expression of phospho-ERK1/2 protein in the lumbar spinal cord increased significantly 1 h after incision and decreased by intrathecal injection of SC-560.
Conclusion: SC-560 administrated intrathecally can inhibit mechanical hypersensitivity induced by postoperative pain in rats and this anti-allodynic process may mediated by spinal ERK.

Complete spinal cord injury (SCI) causes permanent locomotor, sensory and neurological dysfunctions. Targeting complex immunopathological microenvironment at SCI sites comprising inflammatory cytokines infiltration, oxidative stress and massive neuronal apoptosis, the conductive oriented nanofiber felt with efficient ROS clearance, anti-inflammatory effect and accelerating neural regeneration is constructed by step-growth addition polymerization and electrostatic spinning technique for SCI repair. The formation of innovative Fe-PDA-PAT chelate in nanofiber felt enhances hydrophilic, antioxidant, antibacterial, hemostatic and binding factor capacities, thereby regulating immune microenvironment of SCI.

Chronic itch which is primarily associated with dermatologic, systemic, or metabolic disorders is often refractory to most current antipruritic medications, thus highlighting the need for improved therapies. Oxidative damage is a novel determinant of spinal pruriceptive sensitization and synaptic plasticity. The resolution of oxidative insult by molecular hydrogen has been manifested.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a common neurological trauma that cannot be completely cured with surgical techniques and medications. In this study, we established a mouse SCI model and used an adeno-associated virus (AAV) to achieve the high expression of sonic hedgehog (Shh) at the injury site to further investigate the therapeutic effect and mechanism of Shh on SCI. The results of the present study show that Shh may promote motor function recovery.

Pain is a major non-motor symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD). The relationship between hyperalgesia and neuropeptides originating from paraventricular nucleus (PVN) in 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) rats has already been investigated for oxytocin (OXT), but not yet for arginine vasopressin (AVP) and corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH). The present study aimed to investigate the alterations in these neuropeptides following nociceptive stimulation in PD model rats and to examine the mechanisms of hyperalgesia.

The surge in spinal cord injuries (SCI) attracted many neurobiologists to explore the underlying complex pathophysiology and to offer better therapeutic outcomes. The multimodal approaches to therapy in SCI have proven to be effective but to a limited extent. The clinical basics involve invasive procedures and limited therapeutic interventions, and most preclinical studies and formulations are yet to be translated due to numerous factors.
