    Description: mu-Opioid receptor (MOR) agonists represent the gold standard for the treatment of severe pain but may paradoxically also enhance pain sensitivity, that is, lead to opioid-induced hyperalgesia (OIH). We show that abrupt withdrawal from MOR agonists induces long-term potentiation (LTP) at the first synapse in pain pathways. Induction of opioid withdrawal LTP requires postsynaptic activation of heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding proteins and N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors and a rise of postsynaptic calcium concentrations. In contrast, the acute depression by opioids is induced presynaptically at these synapses. Withdrawal LTP can be prevented by tapered withdrawal and shares pharmacology and signal transduction pathways with OIH. These findings provide a previously unrecognized target to selectively combat pro-nociceptive effects of opioids without compromising opioid analgesia.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Drdla, Ruth -- Gassner, Matthias -- Gingl, Ewald -- Sandkuhler, Jurgen -- P 18129/Austrian Science Fund FWF/Austria -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2009 Jul 10;325(5937):207-10. doi: 10.1126/science.1171759.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Neurophysiology, Center for Brain Research, Medical University of Vienna, Spitalgasse 4, 1090 Vienna, Austria.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19590003" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Notes: The melting, crystallization and dynamic mechanical behaviour of blends of bacterially produced poly[D(-)-3-hydroxybutyrate] (PHB) and poly[D(-)-3-hydroxyvalerate] (PHV) have been investigated. Results showed that melt-pressed PHB-PHV blends contained phase-separated domains in the melt which subsequently crystallized as PHB and PHV type spherulites respectively. The two melting regions detected by DTA related to separate melting of PHB and PHV crystallites, which were almost unaffected by the blend composition. The mechanical behaviour of a random copolymer of PHB/HV was compared with that of a blend of almost the same composition, and found to be markedly different.

    Notes: New dumb-bell-type fullerene adducts 2, 4, and 8a-b could be synthesized via bifunctional nitrile oxides. The [60]fullerene derivative 16 of this type was synthesized by twofold esterification with an isoxazolo[60]fullerenecarboxylic acid derivative. In the latter case the reaction was used to link the archimedic polyhedron fullerene with the platonic element cubane. When a bulky spacer between the fullerene units was used, atropisomeres 8a-b occurred. The fullerene derivative 11 with an anthracene moiety exhibited axial chirality.
