Both CB1 receptor antagonism and agonism, in particular by 2-arachidonyl glycerol (2-AG), have been shown to reduce somatic symptoms of morphine withdrawal (MWD). Here we evaluated the effects of both systemic pretreatment with the monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) inhibitor MJN110 (which selectively elevates 2-AG) and central administration of both MJN110 and the CB1 antagonist (AM251) on the affective properties of MWD. Acute MWD induced place aversion occurs when naloxone is administered 24 h following a single exposure to a high dose of morphine. Systemic pretreatment with the MAGL inhibitor, MJN110, prevented the aversive effects of acute MWD by a CB1 receptor-dependent mechanism. Furthermore, in a double dissociation, AM251 infusions into the central amygdala, but MJN110 infusions into the basolateral amygdala, interfered with the naloxone-precipitated MWD induced place aversion. As well, MJN110, but not AM251, infusions into the interoceptive insular cortex (a region known to be activated in acute MWD) also prevented the establishment of the place aversion by a CB1 mechanism of action. These findings reveal the respective sites of action of systemically administered MJN110 and AM251 in regulating the aversive effects of MWD.

Beat-AML 2024 ELN-refined risk stratification for older adults with newly diagnosed AML given lower-intensity therapy.
Blood Adv
October 2024
Department of Internal Medicine, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX.
Article Synopsis
- The 2022 European LeukemiaNet (ELN) classification predicts outcomes for younger acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients but was tested for those aged 60 and older receiving lower-intensity treatment (LIT), involving 595 patients with varying risk levels.
- Results showed that while ELN risk is predictive of overall survival, it fails to distinguish between favorable and intermediate risks, prompting further exploration into adverse-risk patients' molecular abnormalities.
- A new "Beat-AML" risk classification was developed, combining favorable and intermediate risks and integrating mutation scoring, leading to better survival predictions for older AML patients and aiding treatment decisions with clear risk group delineations.

Background: Emergency department (ED) pediatric readiness has been associated with lower mortality for injured children but has historically been suboptimal in nonpediatric trauma centers. Over the past decade, the National Pediatric Readiness Project (NPRP) has invested resources in improving ED pediatric readiness. This study aimed to quantify current trauma center pediatric readiness and identify associations with center-level characteristics to target further efforts to guide improvement.

Article Synopsis
- Early cardiac rehabilitation is essential for recovery in STEMI patients post-PCI, and this study examined the impact of sitting Baduanjin exercises on their rehabilitation process.
- The study involved a quasi-experimental design where one group received Baduanjin exercises alongside standard rehabilitation, while the control group only received the standard exercises.
- Results showed that the intervention group had better heart rate variability, lower anxiety and depression scores, and improved exercise capacity compared to the control group, indicating the effectiveness of Baduanjin exercises in enhancing recovery.
Efficacy of acupuncture as an adjunctive treatment to patients with stable COPD: a multicenter, randomized, sham-controlled trial protocol.
BMC Complement Med Ther

Acupuncture and Tuina School, Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, No. 37, Shi'er Qiao Road, Jinniu District, Chengdu, 610075, Sichuan, China.
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common respiratory disease and the third leading cause of death worldwide. Previous evidence has shown that acupuncture may be an effective complementary alternative therapy for stable COPD. However, large-sample, rigorously designed long-term follow-up studies still need to be completed.
