P01.06. The effect of bee venom pharmacopuncture therapy in a neuropathic pain rat model

چکیده
Methods We performed BV pharmacopuncture therapy with different concentrations on neuropathic pain in a rat model on the 7th day after ligating the L5 nerve as suggested by Kim and Chung. Rats were divided into a control group (treated with normal saline), experimental group I (treated with constantly increased BV concentration, from 1.67×10mg/kg to 8.35×10mg/kg, total 3.22×10mg), and experimental group II (treated fixed high concentration, 3.58×10mg/kg, total 3.22×10mg). BV pharmacopuncture was injected to Huantiao (GB30) every other day for 18 days. To identify any therapeutic effect, foot withdrawal threshold to mechanical and thermal stimulation, nerve conduction velocity (NCV), and c-Fos immunological reactivity in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord were analyzed.

OBJECTIVES This study was designed to investigate the effect of four pharmacopuncture drugs (scolopendrid, Calculus Bovis-Fel Uris-Moschus (BUM), bee venom 25%, and sweet bee venom 10%) on the cerebral hemodynamics, including changes in the regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and in the mean arterial blood pressure (MABP). METHODS The changes in the rCBF and the MABP were determined by using ...
متن کاملMinocycline Effects on IL-6 Concentration in Macrophage and Microglial Cells in a Rat Model of Neuropathic Pain
Background: Evidence indicates that neuropathic pain pathogenesis is not confined to changes in the activity of neuronal systems but involves interactions between neurons, inflammatory immune and immune-like glial cells. Substances released from immune cells during inflammation play an important role in development and maintenance of neuropathic pain. It has been found that minocycline suppress...
متن کاملRepetitive Treatment with Diluted Bee Venom Attenuates the Induction of Below-Level Neuropathic Pain Behaviors in a Rat Spinal Cord Injury Model
The administration of diluted bee venom (DBV) into an acupuncture point has been utilized traditionally in Eastern medicine to treat chronic pain. We demonstrated previously that DBV has a potent anti-nociceptive efficacy in several rodent pain models. The present study was designed to examine the potential anti-nociceptive effect of repetitive DBV treatment in the development of below-level ne...
