Objectives : The purpose of this study is to examine if Bee Venom Acupuncture may be effective to the neuropathic pain(mechanical allodynia, cold allodynia) in a rat model of neuropathic pain. Methods : To produce the model of neuropathic pain, under isoflurane 2.5% anesthesia, tibial nerve and sural nerve was resected. After the neuropathic surgery, the author examined if the animals exhibited the behavioral signs of allodynia. The allodynia was assessed by stimulating the medial malleolus with von Frey filament and acetone. Three weeks after the neuropathic surgery, Bee Venom Acupuncture was injected at Hwando(GB30) one time a day for one week. After that, the author examined the withdrawl response of neuropathic rats' legs by von Frey filament and acetone stimulation. And also the author examined c-Fos in the midbrain central gray of neuropathic rats and the change of WBC count in the blood of neuropathic rats. Results : The Bee Venom Acupuncture injected Hwando(GB30) decreased the withdrawl response of mechanical allodynia in BV-2, BV-3 group as compared with control group. The Bee Venom Acupuncture injected Hwando(GB30) decreased the withdrawl response of chemical allodynia(cold allodynia) in BV-2, BV-3 group as compared with control group. The Bee Venom Acupuncture injected Hwando(GB30) showed the significant difference between control group and BV-2 group, control group and BV-3 group in the c-Fos expression and WBC count. Conclusion : We have noticed that Bee Venom Acupuncture at Hwando(GB30) decreased mechanical allodynia and cold allodynia in the model of neuropathic pain compared with the control group. C-Fos expression in the central gray of that group was also decreased compared with the control group. Pain control using Bee Venom Acupuncture was accumulated as time goes by. This study can be used as a basic resource on a study and a treatment of pain.

Objective : This study was intended to investigate the analgesic effects of electroacupuncture(EA) on mechanical allodynia according to the frequency and intensity of EA. Also to know if mechanical allodynia and the analgesic effects of EA is related to the sympathetci nervous system and/or the purinergic system. Methods : mechanical allodynia-induced rats were produced by resecting S1-S2 nerve. The zusanli(ST36) was used for acupoint and the rats were divided into 4 groups. Each group was given different stimuli[low frequency low intensity-EA(LFLI-EA), low frequency high intensity-EA(LFHI-EA), high frequency low intensity-EA(LFHI-EA), high frequency high intensity-EA(HFHI-EA)]. Futhermore, to make sympathectomy6-OHDA and phentolamine were administered intraperitonially and the concentration of norepinephrine(NE) were measured. As a ATP blocker, suramin was applied for this study. Results : Comparing to control group, each of the 4 groups(LFLI-EA, LFHI-EA, HFLI-EA, HFHI-EA) showed a significant reduction of response frequency of mechanical allodynia. LFHI-EA was more effective than that of LFLI-EA. The LFHI-EA group also had longer lasting effects from the stimulation than the other groups. Sympathectomy didn't show any reduction of response frequency of mechanical allodynia.(Each n=6, n=4). Nor did both sympathectomy and ATP block. The response frequency wasn't reduced by sympathectomy or by sympathectomy and ATP block, but was significantly reduced with LFHI-EA Conclusions : These results suggest that EA has a significant analgesic effect on mechanical allodynia which has no connection with NE and/or ATP.

Objective : Neuropathic pain can be caused by a partial peripheral nerve injury. This kind of pain is usually accompanied by spontaneous burning pain, allodynia and hyperalgesia. It is not clear that scolopendrid aqua-acupuncture can control neuropathic pain effectively. The purpose of this study is to examine if scolopendrid aqua-acupuncture may be effective to the neuropathic pain (mechanical allodynia, cold allodynia) in a rat model of neuropathic pain. Methods : To produce the model of neuropathic pain, under isoflurane 2.5% anesthesia, tibial nerve and sural nerve was resected. After the neuropathic surgery, the author examined if the animals exhibited the behavioral signs of allodynia. The allodynia was assessed by stimulating the medial malleolus with von Frey filament and acetone. Three weeks after the neuropathic surgery, scolopendrid aqua-acupuncture was injected at Hwando(GB30) one time a day for one week. After that the author examined the withdrawl response of neuropathic rats' legs by von Frey filament and acetone stimulation. And also the author examined c-fos in the midbrain central gray of neuropathic rats and the change of WBC count in the blood of neuropathic rats. Results & Conclusion : 1. The scolopendrid aqua-acupuncture injected at Hwando(GB30) decreased the withdrawl response of mechanical allodynia in SHA-1, SHA-2 and SAH-3 group as compared with control group. 2. The scolopendrid aqua-acupuncture injected at Hwando(GB30) decreased the withdrawl response of chemical allodynia(cold allodynia) in SHA-1, SHA-2 and SAH-3 group as compared with control group. 3. The scolopendrid aqua-acupuncture injected at Hwando(GB30) showed the significant difference between sham group and control group(p=0.01), sham and SHA-3 group(p=0.026), control group and SHA-1 group(p=0.01), control group and SHA-2 group(p=0.024) in the c-fos expression. 4.

Effect of Administering Freund`s Complete Adjuvant to Spinal Nerves on the Development of Allodynia in the Rat

Jong Yeon Park,Jai Hyun Hwang 대한마취과학회 2007 Korean Journal of Anesthesiology Vol.53 No.6

Background: Spinal nerve ligation injury causes a neuropathic pain syndrome that includes allodynia. Neuropathic pain is also induced by Freund`s complete adjuvant (FCA)-induced inflammation. This study was designed to examine the development of mechanical and cold allodynia after FCA administration at the L4/L5 spinal nerves and to compare it with the effects of spinal nerve ligation at the same site. Methods: Rats were randomly allocated into three groups: (i) treatment with tight ligation of the left L5/L6 spinal nerves, (ii) wrapping of the L5/L6 spinal nerves with Spongostan(R) soaked in FCA, or (iii) wrapping of the L5/L6 spinal nerves with Spongostan(R) soaked in saline. Mechanical and cold allodynia were measured by applying von Frey filaments or acetone in both hind paws. To examine the development of allodynia, the frequencies of hind paw withdrawal to each type of stimulus were measured. Results: Both FCA administration and nerve ligation injury caused a marked mechanical and cold allodynia in the lesioned hind paw compared to saline treatment (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the frequencies of response of the lesioned hind paw to both types of stimulus were significantly greater than those on the contralateral side. Conclusions: These results suggest that administration of FCA to the spinal nerves can produce a mechanical and cold allodynia with a similar profile of pain facilitation as nerve ligation.

Relieving effects of electroacupuncture on mechanical allodynia in neuropathic pain model of inferior caudal trunk injury in rat : mediation by spinal opioid receptors

Kim, Ji Hoon,Min, Byung-Il,Na, Heung Sik,Park, Dong Suk WHO COLLABORATING CENTRE FOR TRADITIONAL MEDICINE 2003 東西醫學硏究所 論文集 Vol.2003 No.-

The relieving effects of electroacupuncture (EA) on mechanical allodynia and its mechanism related to the spinal opioid system were investigated in a rat inodel of neuropathic pain. To produce neuropathic pain in the tail, the right superior caudal trunk was resected between the S1 and S2 spinal nerves. Two weeks after the surgery, EA stimulation (2 or 100 ㎐, 0.3ms 0.2 - 0.3 ㎃) was delivered to Zusanli (ST36) for 30 min. The degree of mechanical allodynia was evaluated quantitatively by touching the tail with von Frey hair (2.0g) at 10 min intervals. These rats were then subjected to an i.t. injection with one of the three specific opioid agonists in successive ways: the mu agonist (DAMGO 25, 50 and 100 pmol), the delta agonist (DADELT Ⅱ 0 5, 1 and 2 nmol), and the kappa agonist (U50488H 5, 10 and 20 nmol) separated by 10 min in cumulative doses. During 30 min of EA stimulation, specific opioid antagonists were subjected to i.t. injection: the mu antagonist (β-FNA 5, 10 and 20 nmol), the delta antagonist (naltrindole 5, 10 and 20 nmol), and the kappa antagonist (nor-BNI 3, 6 and 12 nmol) separated by 10 min in cumulative doses. As a result, EA reduced the behavioral signs of mechanical allodynia. Two ㎐ EA induced a robust and longer lasting effect than 100㎐. All three opioid agonists also showed relieving effects on mechanial allodynia. However, nor-BNI could not block the EA effects on mechanical allodynia, whereas β-FNA or naltrindole significantly blocked EA effects. These results suggest that the mu and delta, but not kappa opioid receptors in the spinal cord of the rat, play important roles in mediating relieving effects on mechanical allodynia induced by 2 ㎐ EA.

To produce neuropathic pain in the tail, the right superior caudal trunk was resected between the S1 and S2 spinal nerves. Two weeks after the surgery, EA stimulation (2 or 100 Hz, 0.3 ms, 0.2~0.3 mA) was delivered to Zusanli (ST36) for 30 min. The degree of mechanical allodynia was evaluated quantitatively by touching the tail with von Frey hair (2.0 g) at 10 min intervals.

As a result, EA reduced the behavioral signs of mechanical allodynia. Two Hz EA induced a robust and longer lasting effect than 100 Hz. All three opioid agonists also showed relieving effects on mechanical allodynia.

These results suggest that the mu and delta, but not kappa, opioid receptors in the spinal cord of the rat, play important roles in mediating relieving effects on mechanical allodynia induced by 2 Hz EA.

Kim, Sun Kwang,Park, Jung Hyuk,Bae, Sang Jin,Kim, Ji Hoon,Hwang, Byung Gil,Min, Byung Il,Park, Dong Suk,Na, Heung Sik KYUNG HEE UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER 2006 고황의학상 수상논문집 Vol.21-22 No.-

The present study was performed to examine the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) on cold allodynia and its mechanisms related to the spinal adrenergic and serotonergic systems in a rat model of neuropathic pain. For the neuropathic surgery, the right superior caudal trunk was resected at the level between S1 and S2 spinal nerves innervating the tail. Two weeks after the nerve injury, EA stimulation (2 or 100 Hz) was delivered to Zusanli (ST36) for 30 min. The behavioral signs of cold allodynia were evaluated by the tail immersion test [i.e., immersing the tail in cold water (4℃) and measuring the latency to an abrupt tail movement] before and after the stimulation. And then, we examined the effects of intrathecal injection of prazosin (α_(1)-adrenoceptor antagonist, 30 ㎍), yohimbine (α_(2)-adrenoceptor antagonist, 30 ㎍), NAN-190 (5-HT_(1A) antagonist, 15 ㎍), ketanserin (5-HT_(2A) antagonist, 30 ㎍), and MDL-72222 (5-HT_(3) antagonist, 12 ㎍) on the action of EA stimulation. Although both 2 Hz and 100 Hz EA significantly relieved the cold allodynia signs, 2 Hz EA induced more robust effects than 100 Hz EA. In addition, intrathecal injection of yohimbine, NAN-190, and MDL-72222, but not prazosin and ketanserin, significantly blocked the relieving effects of 2 Hz EA on cold allodynia. These results suggest that low-frequency (2 Hz) EA is more suitable for the treatment of cold allodynia than high-frequency (100 Hz) EA, and spinal α_(2)-adrenergic, 5-HT_(1A) and 5-HT_(3), but not α_(1)-adrenergic and 5-HT_(2A), receptors play important roles in mediating the relieving effects of 2 Hz EA on cold allodynia in neuropathic rats.

Sigma-1 Receptor Antagonist BD1047 Reduces Allodynia and Spinal ERK Phosphorylation Following Chronic Compression of Dorsal Root Ganglion in Rats

손지선,권영배 대한약리학회 2010 The Korean Journal of Physiology & Pharmacology Vol.14 No.6

Many therapeutic roles have been proposed for sigma-1 receptor (Sig-1R), but the involvement of Sig-1R in neuropathic pain has currently not been well explored. The present study aimed to evaluate the anti-nociceptive effect of Sig-1R antagonist (BD1047) in a rat model of chronic compression of the dorsal root ganglion (CCD), which is a model of human foraminal stenosis and radicular pain. When stainless steel rods were inserted into the intervertebral foramen of lumbar vertebrae 4 and 5, the CCD developed reliable mechanical (from 3 day) and cold allodynia (from 1 day) as compared with the sham operation group. The spinal expressions of Sig-1R and phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (pERK) were significantly increased from day 3 to day 14 after CCD surgery, as is consistent with the manifestation of allodynia. The BD 1047 (10, 30, 100 mg/kg) administered on postoperative days 0∼5 dose-dependently suppressed both the induction of allodynia and the elevation of the spinal pERK expression in a manner comparable with that of gabapentin (100 mg/kg). At 7 days post-CCD surgery, BD1047 (10, 30, 100 mg/kg) administration also produced anti-nociceptive effects on the mechanical and cold allodynia similar with those of gabapentin (100 mg/kg). Therefore, this data suggested that Sig-1R may play an important role in both the development and maintenance of CCD-induced neuropathy.
