This study was conducted to investigate the influence of μ-opioid receptor gene (OPRM1) A118G polymorphism on dosage of morphine in advanced liver cancer patients. Seventy patients with advanced liver cancer at Changyi People's Hospital, Shandong Province, China, were included from February 2019 to December 2020. The dosage of morphine in patients with OPRM1 A118G different genotypes was compared. Thirty patients (42.86%) were of AA genotype, 35 (50.00%) were AG genotype and 5 (7.14%) were GG genotype. There was a significant difference in morphine dosage within the first 24 hours in patients with AA, AG and GG genotypes (all p <0.001), and morphine dosage in patients with GG genotype was the highest. In conclusion, OPRM1 A118G genotype may affect the dosage of morphine in advanced liver cancer patients. More dosages of morphine are needed for pain control in patients with G allele. Key Words: μ-opioid receptor gene (OPRM1), Gene polymorphism, Liver cancer, Morphine.

Knowledge about determinants of addiction in people taking addictive substances is poor and needs to be supplemented. The novelty of this paper consists in the analysis of innovative aspects of current research about relationships between determinants of addiction in Polish patients taking addictive substances and rare available data regarding the relationships between these factors from studies from recent years from other environments, mainly in Europe, and on the development of genetic determinants of physiological responses. We try to explain the role of the microelements Mn, Fe, Cu, Co, Zn, Cr, Ni, Tl, Se, Al, B, Mo, V, Sn, Sb, Ag, Sr, and Ba, the toxic metals Cd, Hg, As, and Pb, and the rare earth elements Sc, La, Ce, Pr, Eu, Gd, and Nd as factors that may shape the development of addiction to addictive substances or drugs.

Predictive Model for Opioid Use Disorder in Chronic Pain: A Development and Validation Study.

Biomedicines

September 2024

Pharmacogenetics Unit, Clinical Pharmacology Department, Alicante Institute for Health and Biomedical Research (ISABIAL), Diagnostic Center, Gray Building, 5th Floor, Avda Pintor Baeza, 12, 03010 Alicante, Spain.

Background/objective: There are several questionnaires for the challenge of anticipating opioid use disorder (OUD). However, many are not specific for chronic non-cancer pain (CNCP) or have been developed in the American population, whose sociodemographic factors are very different from the Spanish population, leading to scarce translation into clinical practice. Thus, the aim of this study is to prospectively validate a predictive model for OUD in Spanish patients under long-term opioids.

Tramdol is one of most popular opioids used for postoperative analgesia worldwide. Among Arabic countries, there are reports that its dosage is not appropriate due to cultural background. To provide theoretical background of the proper usage of tramadol, this study analyzed the association between several genetic polymorphisms (CYP2D6/OPRM1) and the effect of tramadol.

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a multisystem inflammatory disorder. Family history of RA is an important risk factor as it is strongly linked with the inherited HLA-DR4 (most specifically DR0401 and 0404). The aim of this study is to conduct the haplotype-based analysis of 6q24-25 and evaluate its association with RA.

Aim: Abundant data are available on the effect of the A118G (rs1799971) single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the μ-opioid receptor OPRM1 gene on morphine and fentanyl requirements for pain control. However, data on the effect of this SNP on intraoperative remifentanil requirements remain limited. We investigated the effect of this SNP on intraoperative remifentanil requirements.
