Should cocaine-abusing, buprenorphine-maintained patients receive auricular acupuncture?
These preliminary findings are consistent with the interpretation that buprenorphine does not block auricular acupuncture, supporting the provisional recommendation that cocaine-abusing patients maintained on buprenorphine should not be excluded from receiving auricular acupuncture or from participating in clinical studies of this treatment modality. Further, controlled research on this issue, with clinical outcomes, is needed.
We found that aplysin can enhance the effect of TMZ on glioma cells by increasing miR-181 expression.
