Translational neuroimaging techniques are needed to address the impact of opioid tolerance on brain function and quantitatively monitor the impaired neuropharmacological response to opioids at the CNS level. A multiparametric PET study was conducted in rats. Rats received morphine daily to induce tolerance (15 mg/kg/day for 5 days), followed by 2-day withdrawal.

Opioid use disorder is heritable, yet its genetic etiology is largely unknown. C57BL/6J and C57BL/6NJ mouse substrains exhibit phenotypic diversity in the context of limited genetic diversity which together can facilitate genetic discovery. Here, we found C57BL/6NJ mice were less sensitive to oxycodone (OXY)-induced locomotor activation versus C57BL/6J mice in a conditioned place preference paradigm.

The alternative splicing of a gene results in distinct transcript isoforms that can result in proteins that differ in function. Alternative splicing processes are prevalent in the brain, have varying incidence across brain regions, and can present sexual dimorphism. Exposure to opiates and other substances of abuse can also alter the type and incidence of the splicing process and the relative abundance of the isoforms produced.

Biased µ-opioid receptor (MOR) agonists enhance pain relief by selectively activating G protein-coupled receptor signaling and minimizing β-arrestin-2 activation, resulting in fewer side effects. This multicenter Phase II/III trial evaluated the optimal dosage, efficacy, and safety of SHR8554, a biased MOR agonist, for postoperative pain management following orthopedic surgery. In Phase II, 121 patients were divided into four groups to receive varying patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) doses of SHR8554 or morphine.

Background/objective: Adequate postoperative analgesics are an essential element in the recovery and rehabilitation of large joint lower-limb arthroplasty patients in their acute postoperative phase. In this study, we will establish that strong opioids like morphine should be included as postoperative analgesics to improve patient satisfaction. Material: This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted in the Arthroplasty Ward, Trauma, and Orthopaedics Department in a district general hospital of the United Kingdom.
