Chronic neuropathic pain is a burden to millions of patients every day. Patients with neuropathic pain will also experience acute pain throughout their everyday lives adding to their nociceptive burden. Using nociceptive models in mice this study aimed to investigate the relationship between acute visceral pain and chronic neuropathic pain in spontaneous and affective behaviors. Neuropathic pain was induced by chronic constriction injury (CCI) of the sciatic nerve of C57BL/6J male mice and examined in assays of acetic acid (AA)-induced stretching or conditioned place aversion to assess nociceptive and aversive behaviors. Stretching induced by a low concentration (0.32%) of AA given intraperitoneally was significantly increased in CCI and paclitaxel-treated animals compared to control animals. A higher concentration (1.2%) of AA was able to induce stretching equally in both neuropathic and control mice. In the conditioned place aversion test, an AA concentration of 0.32% did not induce place aversion in either sham or CCI animals. However, the 1.2% concentration of AA-induced higher place aversion scores in CCI mice compared to sham mice. No difference in place conditioning was observed between paclitaxel and vehicle-treated mice. Overall, our results show that peripheral nerve injury and paclitaxel treatment induces hypersensitivity to AA-induced nociception and place aversion. Copyright (C) 2019 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.

Spousal autonomy support, need satisfaction, and well-being in individuals with chronic pain: A longitudinal study Uysal, Ahmet; ASCIGIL, Esra; TURUNC, Gamze (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-04-01) The present research examined the effect of spousal autonomy support on the need satisfaction and well-being of individuals with chronic pain. Married individuals with a diagnosed musculoskeletal chronic pain condition (N = 109) completed a baseline questionnaire and a follow-up questionnaire after a 6-month time period. Cross-lagged analyses indicated that spousal autonomy support predicted increases in basic need satisfaction, and need satisfaction predicted increases in well-being. Moreover, the analyses...
Fluoxetine, not donepezil, reverses anhedonia, cognitive dysfunctions and hippocampal proteome changes during repeated social defeat exposure Gottschalk, M. G.; Mortas, P.; Haman, M.; Özcan Kabasakal, Süreyya; Biemans, B.; Bahn, S. (Elsevier BV, 2018-01-01) While anhedonia is considered a core symptom of major depressive disorder (MDD), less attention has been paid to cognitive dysfunctions. We evaluated the behavioural and molecular effects of a selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor (SSRI, fluoxetine) and an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (AChEI, donepezil) on emotional-cognitive endophenotypes of depression and the hippocampal proteome. A chronic social defeat (SD) procedure was followed up by "reminder" sessions of direct and indirect SD. Anhedonia-relate...
HOW DYSFUNCTIONAL ARE THE DYSFUNCTIONAL ATTITUDES IN ANOTHER CULTURE SAHIN, NH; SAHIN, N (Wiley, 1992-03-01) The Dysfunctional Attitude Scale (DAS-A) has been used in many studies to measure depressogenic attitudes, vulnerability to depression and to assess the effectiveness of cognitive therapy. Despite its frequent use in research, no data have yet been reported on its item validity. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the item validity and psychometric properties of the DAS-A in the Turkish cultural context. The subjects were 345 university students. The locally adapted versions of the Beck ...
Weight Gain in Risperidone Therapy Investigation of Peripheral Hypothalamic Neurohormone Levels in Psychotic Patients Yanık, Tülin; Sutcigil, Levent; Ak, Mehmet (Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2013-10-01) The use of antipsychotic drugs has started a new era in the treatment of psychotic disorders. Nevertheless, they cause complications in the long-term treatment, which is mainly weight gain. In this study, we investigated circulating levels of hypothalamic neuropeptides, which are related to appetite regulation, neuropeptide Y (NPY), alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH), cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART), and leptin, in first-attack psychotic patients who were treated with an a...
Dysregulation of hypothalamic modulation in olanzapine treated male rats Sezlev-Bilecen, Deniz; AK, MEHMET; Yanık, Tülin (Elsevier BV, 2016-11-03) The mechanism of weight gain through application of olanzapine, a serotonin and dopamine receptor antagonist has not been fully understood. Weight gain and food intake are under the control of various neurohormones; POMC (proopiomelanocortin), CART (cocaine and amphetamine regulated transcript), AgRP (Agouti-related peptide) and NPY (neuropeptide Y) that are majorly synthesized and secreted from the arcuate nucleus (ARC) of hypothalamus. In this study, the alteration of the ARC neurohormone levels in rats w...
