Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 antibody attenuates thermal hyperalgesia in the dorsal root ganglion: Neurochemical changes and behavioral studies after sciatic nerve-pinch injury

Oxidative stress is generated in several peripheral nerve injury models.Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is activated to have a role in antioxidant effect. After nerve injury, the severely painful behavior is also performed. However, little has been explored regarding the function of Nrf2 in this painful process. Therefore, in this study, we compared the effects of Nrf2 antibody administration following sciatic nerve-pinch injury on painful behavior induced in young mice and neurochemical changes in dorsal root ganglion neurons. After pinch nerve injury, we found that the magnitude of the thermal allodynia was significantly decreased after application of Nrf2 antibody (5ul, 1 mg/ml) in such injured animals and phosphorylated ERK(p-ERK) as well as the apoptotic protein (i.e., Bcl-6) in DRG neurons were also down-regulated in the anti-Nrf2-treated injured groups compared to the saline-treated groups. Taken collectively, these data suggested that the Nrf2 antibody reduced thermal hyperalgesia via ERK pathway and the down regulation of Bcl-6 protein from the apoptosis pathway might be protecting against the protein deletions caused by anti-Nrf2 effect and suggested the new therapeutic strategy with Nrf2 inhibitor following nerve injury.     

Inferior alveolar and mental nerve injuries associated with open reduction and internal fixation of mandibular fractures: A Seven Year retrospective study

PurposeTo document adverse neurosensory changes in the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) and mental nerve (MN) after surgical mandibular fracture treatment and to identify risk factors associated with these changes.Materials and methodsA retrospective study of patients surgically treated for mandibular fractures. The primary study variable was the postoperative change in IAN/MN neurosensory examination after fracture fixation. Risk factors were categorized as demographic, anatomic, experience of the operator, fracture displacement and number of miniplates placed at each fracture site. Appropriate statistics were computed.Results209 patients with 293 fractures were analysed. One hundred twenty fractures (41%) were located between the lingula and mental foramen, and 173 fractures (59%) were located distal to the mental foramen. Two hundred seventeen (41%) were displaced by 5 mm or more. In 38 fractures (13%), the IAN/MN neurosensory status worsened after treatment. In a multivariate model, fracture displacement, operator inexperience and two plate fixation were associated with a statistically significant risk (P ≤ 0.05) for postoperative deterioration of IAN/MN sensation.ConclusionFixation with two miniplates, fracture displacement of 5 mm or more and operator inexperience were associated with an increased risk for deterioration of the IAN/MN neurosensory status after treatment of mandibular fractures.     

通过调整脊柱治疗臀上皮神经综合征的临床观察

目的观察通过调整脊柱的方法来治疗臀上皮神经综合征的疗效。方法将65例臀上皮神经综合征患者按就诊顺序随机分为对照组(32例)和治疗组(33例)。对照组患者给予基本手法治疗,治疗组在对照组基础上再给予调整脊柱法。两组均以10次为1个疗程,共2个疗程,治疗结束后比较两组疗效。结果治疗组治愈率为93.94%,对照组为56.25%,治疗组疗效明显高于对照组,且治疗组起效时间明显快于对照组,不易复发。结论通过调整脊柱治疗臀上皮神经综合征疗效明显、安全可行。     

Sonography guided lumbar nerve and facet blocks: The first report of clinical outcome from Iran

IntroductionNerve root block (NRB) and facet block (FB) are viable options for pain arising from facet and lumbar disc herniation (LDH) not responding to conservative therapy but still not suitable for surgery. Classically, they are performed under fluoroscopy and computed tomography (CT) guidance, which have the disadvantages of radiation exposure and limited accessibility. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of US guided FB and NRB in patients suffering from facet arthropathy and LDH.Methods14 patients were involved in the study. After defining nerve root (for NRB) or facet joints (for FB) under a standard US investigation, real-time injection of methylprednisolone and bupivacaine was performed. Pain was measured before and after procedure by VAS.ResultsTen patients underwent FBs (8 bilateral and 2 unilateral) and 4 underwent NRBs (2 bilateral and 2 unilateral). 11/14 (79%) patients improved after the block (8 in FB, 3 in NRB) and the VAS had significantly decreased 1 week after procedure (mean [range] −1.7 [−6 to 0]). For the 11 patients that improved after FB or NRB, the effect lasted for a mean of 59 days (range: 30–130 days). Analysis showed that neither block procedure (NRB vs. FB) nor block level (L4L5 vs. L5S1) had an effect on result.ConclusionsResults of our preliminary study shows that in appropriately selected patients, nerve root and facet blocks can be effectively performed under ultrasonography guidance without notable complications, with effects lasting for a mean 2 months.     

Can we reduce morphine use in elderly,proximal femoral fracture patients using a fascia iliac block?

Proximal femoral fractures are becoming increasingly common with an ageing population. Many patients have multiple comorbidities increasing their risk of opiate complications. 40 consecutive patients presenting with a proximal femoral fracture to a trauma centre in the UK were given either a Fascia Iliaca Block (FIB) with oral analgesia or just oral analgesia to control their pre-operative pain. Numeric pain scores and morphine consumption were used as outcome measures. Patients receiving a FIB had significant reduction in their pain scores compared to patients only receiving oral pain relief. There was also a significant reduction in both the actual oral morphine taken and the renal calculated level of morphine products in the group receiving the FIB. Patients undergoing a FIB required almost 50 mg less oral morphine pre-operatively. Nerve blocks should be used routinely to help pre-operative pain in proximal femoral fracture patients and to reduce the amount of morphine products prescribed. This prevents potential opiate complications in a highly susceptible cohort of patients often suffering with impaired renal function as a co-morbidity.
