| | Tumor Necrosis Factor and Neuropathy |
 | | Specifically, we employed well-characterized models of neuropathy that result in behaviors suggestive of neuropathic pain in humans; a freeze lesion of the sciatic nerve, termed sciatic cryoneurolysis, and a chronic constriction sciatic nerve injury. | | | To test the hypothesis that TNF plays a role in the vascular changes and the pain-related behavior in an experimental painful neuropathy in rats produced by tying loosely constrictive ligatures around one sciatic nerve, we investigated the effect of thalidomide, a selective blocker of TNF-production in activated macrophages. | | | Starting treatment with thalidomide at a time point when hyperalgesia was already present did not alter the course of the pain-related behavior. |

| | Their study, however, was limited to Japanese patients with a relatively benign course not requiring corticosteroid therapy. | | | Although Yamaguchi and colleagues provide no evidence that TNF genotypes predispose individuals to developing sarcoidosis, they justifiably contend that TNF polymorphism may influence the course of sarcoidosis in a selected group of Japanese patients. | | | In a study[4] of 16 families drawn from two international sarcoidosis clinics, the disease showed a preponderance of monozygous over dizygous twins, like-sex over unlike-sex pairs, and mother-child over father-child association. |

| | While the results in animals have been dramatic, it is questionable whether they will show the same degree of response in humans. | | | TNF is a regulator of both inflammation and immunity and is presently in clinical trials as an anticancer drug at a number of centers (2, 3). | | | The Irvine, CA scientists speculate that a successful response to chemotherapy "produces massive release and processing of tumor antigens." This in turn leads to a state in which the human immune system is primed to respond to such innovative drugs with "potent, specific antitumor effects" (7). |
