Hyaluronic acid prevents tissue adhesion after different surgeries. Physical barriers and inflammatory regulation have been suggested to be involved in the mechanism of these clinical effects. However, the molecular mechanism by which hyaluronic acid prevents epidural adhesion has not yet been reported. ⋯ These results indicate that cross-linked hyaluronic acid gel can prevent epidural adhesion by inhibiting inflammatory factors, such as IL-6, and downregulating TGFβ1 and COL1A1 mRNA expression.

Various drugs are used to treat patients with neuropathic pain; however, optimal treatment using acetaminophen (A) and/or tramadol (T) remains unclear. The evidence supporting the drug choice and the timing of administration is insufficient. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of T and/or A on pain-related behavior in a nucleus pulposus (NP) rat model. ⋯ Combined administration of acetaminophen and tramadol maintained in the pain threshold in the rat NP model. These findings suggest that the combination of acetaminophen and tramadol might be a potential therapeutic modality for patients with lumbar disc herniation.
