Popis: | OBJECTIVE To investigate the mechanisms underlying elemene-induced analgesia in rats with spared nerve injury (SNI). METHODS Sixty-five rats were equally divided into 5 groups using a random number table: naive group, sham group, SNI group, SNI + elemene (40 mg·kg-1·d-1) group and naive + elemene (40 mg·kg-1·d-1) group. An SNI rat model was established and the intervention were given respectively for 14 consecutive days. Von Frey filament tests and elevated plus-maze (EPM) tests were used to evaluate the effect of elemene on the mechanical threshold and anxiety, respectively. Immunoblotting and immunostaining were used to measure the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and NMYC downstream-regulated gene 2 (NDRG2) within the lumbar spinal dorsal horn (SDH). RESULTS The SNI rat model exhibited a significant decrease in paw withdrawal threshold and exploratory behaviour in the EPM (P |
