ANALGESIC ACTIVITY OF DIFFERENTS NONVOLATILS EXTRACTS OF NEPETA ATLANTICA BALL AND NEPETA TUBEROSA L. SSP. RETICULATA (DESF.) MAIRE: Different extracts of Nepeta atlantica Ball and Nepeta tuberosa L. ssp. reticulata (Desf.) Maire contain mainly a secondary metabolites with iridoïd lactonic and glucosidic type, also with triterpine lupan type. The aerial part of each species is crushed, then extracted in methanol by cold maceration, called global extracts. The global extracts will be extracted trough various solvents: initially by hexan then by the dichloromethan after that by the ethyl acetate and at the end by the buthanol. Each one of obtained extracts will be used for the following trials: i) Tail flick trial on the rat for the central morphine like analgesic activity; ii) Koster trial on the mouse for the peripheral analgesic activity. The evaluation of the central and peripheral analgesic activities for the pre cited extracts was realized after optimal doses determination of the global extracts activities for both species. The peripheral analgesic activity test on the mouse showed that, for 60 mg/kg intra peritoneum (IP), the hexanic, dichloromethanic, ethyl acetate and butanic extracts have a protection power against abdominal cramp respectively around 89.78%, 81.73%, 70.9% et 69.05% for Nepeta atlantica Ball, and arround 89.16%, 82.98%, 71.52% et 70.27% for Nepeta tuberosa L. ssp. reticulata. Central morphine like analgesic activity on the rat showed that, for both spices under 60 mg/kg IP, the central analgesic activity effect is significatly for two extracts only: dichloromethan and ethyl acetate.

Opioid medications are commonly employed for perioperative and postoperative pain management. However, these medications can negatively impact the body's innate pain management system, specifically the action of beta-endorphins. By impairing the function of mu-opioid receptors and inhibiting the release of beta-endorphin, opioids may exacerbate and prolong postoperative pain.

The dynamics of CD4+ T cell proliferation and regulation.

We use mathematical modeling to study the proliferation dynamics of CD4+ T cells within an immune response. This proliferation is driven by the autocrine reaction of helper T cells and interleukin-2 (IL-2), and regulated by natural regulatory T cells (nTregs). Previous studies suggested that a fratricidal mechanism is necessary to eliminate helper T cells post-infection.

Background: Pain is a major challenge for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), with many people suffering chronic pain. Current RA management guidelines focus on assessing and reducing disease activity using disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). Consequently, pain care is often suboptimal, with growing evidence that analgesics are widely prescribed to patients with RA, despite potential toxicities and limited evidence for efficacy.
