Journal: Preoperative Pericapsular Nerve Group Block Results in Less Pain, Decreased Narcotic Use, and Quicker Discharge Time Than No Block in Patients Who Were Surgically Treated for Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 1, 2022 For patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for FAIS, the addition of a preoperative PENG block showed a significant decrease in initial PACU pain, PACU narcotic consumption, intraoperative fentanyl usage, and quicker time to discharge without complications when compared to a no block, post-free control group. III, retrospective cohort study.

Journal: Perioperative Outcomes of Immersive Virtual Reality as Adjunct Anesthesia in Primary Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 1, 2022 Acute perioperative outcomes, including 24-hour oral morphine equivalent (OME), first ambulation distance, length of stay, and 30-day complications, were also analyzed...When compared to non-IVR primary THAs and TKAs, those performed with IVR utilized significantly less intraoperative sedation (48 mg vs 708 mg of propofol; P .3) postoperative outcomes were noted in both cohorts' 24-hour OME use, distance at first ambulation, length of stay, and 30-day complications. The use of spinal anesthesia with the IVR adjunct to perform primary THAs and TKAs appears to be well-tolerated and associated with less intraoperative sedative medication usage than spinal anesthesia alone.

Journal: Clinical pharmacology of antiplatelet drugs. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 1, 2022 Key clinical drug-drug interactions of antiplatelet agents involve acetylsalicylic acid - ibuprofen, clopidogrel - omeprazole, and morphine - oral P2Y inhibitors, all of which lead to an attenuated antiplatelet effect...High on-treatment platelet reactivity presents a key problem in the acute management of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). A treatment strategy involving early initiation of an intravenous antiplatelet agent may be able to bridge the gap of insufficient platelet inhibition in high ischemic risk patients with STEMI.

Human Cancer Biopsies Elucidate Cancer Pain Targets (Grand Sonoran G) - Oct 31, 2022 - Abstract #ACNP2022ACNP_959; A syngeneic mouse oral cancer orthotopic transplant model was used to evaluate analgesic morphine on the tumor immune response as well as immune cell-mediated endogenous opioid expression...Conclusions Together these data suggest that exogenous opioids given for pain management may directly impair tumor immunosurveillance and weaken immune checkpoint immunotherapy (ICI) therapeutic efficacy. Alternatively, ICI may be employed to stimulate the immune response for endogenous opioid-mediated cancer pain treatment.

Targeting Immune Signaling in Genetic Models of Risk for Alcohol and Substance Abuse (Grand Sonoran G) - Oct 31, 2022 - Abstract #ACNP2022ACNP_958; (b) Terreic acid, pergolide, and apremilast significantly reduced nicotine (p’s<0.01) and morphine (p’s<0.01) intake in male and female HDID-1 and -2 mice. Conclusions Together, this work tells us that increasing anti-inflammatory signaling reduces excessive substance use in unique animal models that exhibit construct validity, face validity, and predictive validity for AUD and SUD.

Orally Administered Heteroaromatic Salvinorin a Analogue (AK-1402) Elicits Antinociceptive and Anxiolytic-Like Effects in Mice () - Oct 31, 2022 - Abstract #ACNP2022ACNP_876; Acute oral administration of AK-1402 (1, 3, or 10 mg/kg), morphine (MOR 5 mg/kg), diazepam (DZP 1 mg/kg), or vehicle 10 ml/kg in male and female Swiss mice [5-week-old with weight = 25 ± 3 g; n = 8 (4 mice per sex) randomly distributed into the treatment groups to the acetic acid-induced abdominal writhing, formalin-induced hind paw licking, the thermal reaction in the hotplate as well as aversive response in the elevated plus-maze (EPM), and light-dark box (LDB). The antinociceptive and anxiolytic-like effects of AK-1402 are promising and demand additional pharmacological characterizations.

Mechanism of Action of ITI-333, a Novel Modulator of Mu Opioid, Serotonin, and Dopamine and for the Treatment of Opioid Use Disorder (Grand Sonoran F) - Oct 31, 2022 - Abstract #ACNP2022ACNP_476; Results Cell-based assays demonstrate ITI-333 is a biased MOP receptor partial agonist, acting as an antagonist to block effects of high doses of morphine in pain and motor activity models; acting alone as an analgesic in acute and inflammatory pain models...ITI-333 (0.3, 1, and 3mg/kg, SC) dose-dependently suppresses signs of opioid withdrawal precipitated by naloxone injection in oxycodone-dependent mice (i.e., oxycodone dosed for 8 days; increasing daily doses of 9-33 mg/kg, n=10/group)...ITI-333 was safe and well-tolerated in a first-in-human safety study and continues in clinical development as a treatment for OUD. Conclusions Data support a role for ITI-333 in mitigating opioid withdrawal symptoms with no significant indications of abuse liability.

Physiological Changes in Noradrenergic Neurons in a Mouse Model of Opioid Use Disorder (Grand Saguaro) - Oct 31, 2022 - Abstract #ACNP2022ACNP_378; Our data here suggest that the MN model results in profound plasticity on glutamatergic synapses promotion the insertion of CP-AMPA receptors, and regulates the intrinsic excitability of these neurons. Future studies will explore these phenomena in male mice, and examine how long lasting and/or transient these changes are.

The novel Oprm1-Cre transgenic rat can be used to study the role of brain Oprm1-expressing cells in opioid addiction- and pain-related behaviors, as well as other opioid-mediated learned and innate behaviors.

Journal: Locus coeruleus input-modulated reactivation of dentate gyrus opioid-withdrawal engrams promotes extinction. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 29, 2022 Here, naloxone-precipitated conditioned place aversion (CPA) in morphine-dependent mice was mainly used as a pathological memory model...We also found that activating this circuit caused an increase in the ensemble size of DG engram cells activated during the extinction, which was confirmed by a cFos targeted strategy to label cells combined with immunohistochemical and in vivo calcium imaging techniques. Collectively, our data uncover that the recall experience is important for updating the memory during the reconsolidation window; they also suggest a promising neural circuit or target based on the recall-extinction procedure for weakening pathological aversion memory, such as opioid withdrawal memory and fear memory.

Journal, IO biomarker: Receptor Transporter Protein 4 (RTP4) in the Hypothalamus Is Involved in the Development of Antinociceptive Tolerance to Morphine. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 28, 2022 Next, we examined the mechanism of regulation of RTP4 and found that, in neuronal cells, Rtp4 induction is via Gi and MAPK activation, while, in microglial cells, the induction is via Toll-like receptor 4. Together, these studies highlight the role of MOR activity in regulating RTP4, which, in turn, plays an important role in modulating morphine effects in vivo.
