Neuroimaging for differential diagnosis of transient neurological attacks

Brain and Behavior, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Background Rapid yet comprehensive neuroimaging protocols are required for patients with suspected acute stroke. However, stroke mimics can account for approximately one in five clinically diagnosed acute ischemic strokes and the rate of thrombolyzed mimics can be as high as 17%.

Molecular Pharmacology of δ-Opioid Receptors

Pharmacological Reviews, 2016
Opioids are among the most effective analgesics available and are the first choice in the treatment of acute severe pain. However, partial efficacy, a tendency to produce tolerance, and a host of ill-tolerated side effects make clinically available ...

Pharmacological Profiles of Oligomerized μ-Opioid Receptors

Cells, 2013
Opioids are widely prescribed pain relievers with multiple side effects and potential complications. They produce analgesia via G-protein-protein coupled receptors: μ-, δ-, κ-opioid and opioid receptor-like 1 receptors.

In Vitro Analyses of Spinach-Derived Opioid Peptides, Rubiscolins: Receptor Selectivity and Intracellular Activities through G Protein- and β-Arrestin-Mediated Pathways

Molecules, 2021
Activated opioid receptors transmit internal signals through two major pathways: the G-protein-mediated pathway, which exerts analgesia, and the β-arrestin-mediated pathway, which leads to unfavorable side effects. Hence, G-protein-biased opioid agonists

Interleukin 6/gp130 axis promotes neural invasion in pancreatic cancer

Cancer Medicine, Volume 11, Issue 24, Page 5001-5012, December 2022., 2022
Nerve invasion (N‐inv) is an important prognostic factor in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). To elucidate circulating stimulators for nerve invasion, the authors evaluated the stimulant activity and the inhibitory effects of IL‐6/gp130 axis. Biological activity of IL‐6/gp130 axis promoted nerve invasion in murine model and was upregulated in ...

Peripheral sensitization increases opioid receptor expression and activation by crotalphine in rats.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Inflammation enhances the peripheral analgesic efficacy of opioid drugs, but the mechanisms involved in this phenomenon have not been fully elucidated. Crotalphine (CRP), a peptide that was first isolated from South American rattlesnake C.d.

Machine-learning Repurposing of DrugBank Compounds for Opioid Use Disorder [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Opioid use disorder (OUD) is a chronic and relapsing condition that involves the continued and compulsive use of opioids despite harmful consequences. The development of medications with improved efficacy and safety profiles for OUD treatment is urgently needed.

Dose of intra‐operative opioids has no impact on recurrence or survival in primary liver cancer

Cancer Medicine, Volume 11, Issue 24, Page 4927-4934, December 2022., 2022
Kaplan‐meier curves for recurrence‐free and overall survial of high‐dose and low‐dose groups. No significant difference in recurrence‐free survial (A) or overall survial (B) after surgery was noted when comparing high‐dose with low‐dose groups. Abstract Background Intra‐operative use of opioid analgesics might have an impact on cancer recurrence and ...
