β-Arrestin2 recruitment to μ-receptors may contribute to the development of opioid side effects. This possibility led to the development of TRV130 and PZM21, opioids reportedly biased against β-arrestin2 recruitment in favour of G-protein signalling. However, low efficacy β-arrestin2 recruitment by TRV130 and PZM21 may simply reflect partial agonism overlooked due to overexpression of μ-receptors.

Efficacies and apparent potencies of DAMGO, morphine, PZM21 and TRV130 as stimulators of β-arrestin2 recruitment and inhibitors of cAMP accumulation were assessed in CHO cells stably expressing μ-receptors. Receptor availability was depleted through prior exposure of cells to the irreversible antagonist, β-FNA. We also examined whether μ-receptor availability influences TRV130 anti-nociception and/or tolerance using the tail withdrawal assay in wild-type C57BL/6 and μ+/- mice.

Morphine, PZM21 and TRV130 were partial agonists in the β-arrestin2 recruitment assay. Only TRV130 exhibited partial agonism in the cAMP assay. Exposure to β-FNA to reduce μ-receptor availability further limited the efficacy of TRV130 and revealed morphine and PZM21 to be partial agonists. Despite having partial efficacy in vitro, TRV130 caused potent anti-nociception (ED
0.33 mg·kg
) in wild-type mice, without tolerance after daily administration for 10 days. TRV130 caused similar anti-nociception in μ+/- mice, with marked tolerance on day 4 of injections.

Our findings emphasise the importance of receptor reserve when characterising μ-receptor agonists. Reduced receptor availability reveals that TRV130 is a partial agonist capable of tolerance, despite having limited efficacy for β-arrestin2 recruitment to the μ-receptor.

We aimed to use speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) to quantify circumferential aortic strain of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) with different size.

A total of 87 AAA patients were included. The morphological variables, including aortic maximum diameter (MD), end systolic area (ESA), end diastolic area (EDA), and thickness and area of intraluminal thrombus (ILT), were measured by ultrasound. STE was applied to calculate circumferential strain (CS) at 6 equally divided segments of the aorta at MD. We evaluated the mean value of peak strain along the 6 segments as global circumferential strain (GCS).

Large AAA (≥5.5 cm) patients had higher MD, ESA, EDA, AAA length, ILT thickness, and area, but lower fractional area change, GCS, and segmental CSs than small AAA (<5.5 cm) subjects (all P < .05). Compared with AAA <4.5 cm group, AAA patients ≥4.5 cm possessed increased MD, ESA, EDA, AAA length, ILT thickness, and area, which results were also reflected in the comparison between AAA <6.5 and ≥6.5 cm group. In small AAA patients, GCS and regional strains in CS1, CS3, and CS5 segments were lower in AAA subjects ≥4.5 cm than those <4.5 cm (all P<.05). However, no significant differences in the GCS and regional CS between ≥6.5 and <6.5 cm group were found. Correlation analysis revealed a significant negative association of GCS with MD, ESA, and EDA, even after adjusting the potential confounding factors (all P < .05).

Our findings may yield insight into the structural strain characteristics of AAA wall with different size, which adds the benefit of using simple echocardiography-derived biomechanics to stratify AAA patients.

To assess whether asthma medication use during pregnancy differs in women newly diagnosed with asthma early in pregnancy (first 19weeks of pregnancy) compared to those newly diagnosed up to 2years pre-pregnancy.

A retrospective population-based cohort study.

To conduct this study, we used the Quebec Asthma and Pregnancy Database (QAPD) constructed by linking two administrative health databases from the province of Quebec (Canada) the Régie de l'Assurance Maladie du Québec and Maintenance et Exploitation des Données pour l'Étude de la Clientèle Hospitalière databases.

A cohort comprising pregnant women newly diagnosed with asthma at any time in the 2 years prior to pregnancy or during the first 19 weeks of pregnancy was selected from the QAPD.

We assessed the number of filled prescriptions of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS), ICS/long-acting β2 agonists(LABA), and short-acting β2 agonists (SABA), as well as the number of days' supply of oral corticosteroid (OCS) from the 20
week of pregnancy until del phenotype caused by pregnancy-triggered hormonal changes.
Ageing is associated with progressive metabolic dysregulation. Rutin is a metabolic regulator with a poor solubility. Using soluble sodium rutin we investigating the effect and mechanisms of rutin in ageing process.

Wild type male mice were treated with or without sodium rutin ( 0.2 mg·ml
in drinking water from 8-month-old until end of life. Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used for lifespan assay, ageing-related histopathology analysis and metabolic analysis were performed to determine the effects of chronic sodium rutin on the longevity. Serological test, liver tissue metabolomics and transcriptomics were used for liver function assay. SiRNA knockdown Angptl8 and autophagy flux assay in HepG2 cell lines explored the mechanism through which sodium rutin might impact the function of hepatocyte.

Sodium rutin treatment extends the lifespan of mice by 10%. Sodium rutin supplementation alleviates ageing-related pathological changes and promotes behaviour performance in ageing mice. Sodium rutin supplementation altered the whole-body metabolism in mice, which exhibited increased energy expenditure and lower respiratory quotient.
