چکیده

BACKGROUND Animal models of visceral pain have gained much attention as an important tool to elucidate the possible mechanisms underlying functional gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. Here we report the development of a new, minimally invasive behavioral model of abdominal pain induced by ip administration of neostigmine in mice. METHODS Spontaneous behavioral responses evoked by ip injection of neostigmine were compared to pain-related behaviors induced by acetic acid solution (ip), mustard oil (MO) and capsaicin (both ic). Pain behaviors were quantified by assessment of defined postures (licking of the abdomen, stretching, squashing of the abdomen and abdominal contractions). Neuronal activation of spinal cord was measured by determining the number of c-Fos-positive cells. RESULTS Neostigmine (2.5 μg/kg, ip), acetic acid solution (ip), MO and capsaicin (both ic) induced spontaneous behavioral responses in mice, which were blocked by morphine (3 mg/kg, ip), suggesting the involvement of pain signaling pathways. Injection of neostigmine enhanced c-Fos expression in spinal cord neurons. CONCLUSION The neostigmine model represents a new minimally invasive mouse model to study visceral pain. Based on the neuronal activation pattern in the spinal cord we suggest that this model may be used to study abdominal pain signaling pathways in the GI tract.

Neostigmine for treatment of acute colonic pseudo- obstruction

Free full text available from www.ijccm.org A b st ra ct Acute colonic pseudo-obstruction is managed with bolus neostigmine as shown in a recent prospective, double blind, placebo-controlled study. Parasympathetic stimulation with neostigmine leads to abdominal pain, salivation, and symptomatic bradycardia. We submit a more effective method may involve use of neostigmine infusion to reduce comp...

Introduction: Pain is a complex medical problem that its postoperative inadequate control can produce adverse effects on patients’ physiological, metabolic and mental states. Adding new supplements can lead to an increased duration of analgesia. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the addition of neostigmine and ketamine to 0.25% -bupivacaine for epidural analgesia in increasing duration of...

Non-Specific Abdominal Pain and Air Pollution: A Novel Association

BACKGROUND We studied whether short-term exposure to air pollution was associated with non-specific abdominal pain in epidemiologic and animal studies. METHODS Patients visiting the emergency department with non-specific abdominal pain were identified in Edmonton (1992 to 2002, n = 95,173) and Montreal (1997 to 2002, n = 25,852). We calculated the daily concentrations for ozone (O(3)), nitrog...
