Trigeminal neuralgia and dental malocclusions.

Out of 39 patients with intractable trigeminal neuralgia seven have had continuing relief for over three years after dental treatment. Five out of six recent consecutive edentulous patients had immediate improvement. More radical treatment, such as ganglion injection or nerve root section, has been at least postponed.

[The effect of estradiol on histamine distribution in the uterine structures of the normal rat and after the experimental administration of the hormone].

Estradiol levels were radioimmunoassayed and histamine levels histochemically measured by Cross', Ewen's, and Rost's methods in intact rats. Estradiol was shown to increase sharply the absorption of exogenous histamine by uterine structures. Estradiol effects were interpreted by the authors as activation of the histamine receptors in uterine structures by the hormone, and an estradiol-induced decrease in a histamine level in macrophages was explained by histamine release from macrophages for passing to other structures.

[Seasonal changes in the cytochemical properties of the peritoneal mast cells in rats].

Contents of histamine, 5-hydroxytryptamine, functional state of heparinic proteoglycan have been studied in the rat peritoneal mast cells during various seasons of the year (January-February, May-June, July). In winter the mast cells have a high content of histamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine, heparinic proteoglycan of their granules is stained with both alcian blue and safranin. In summer (July) content of histamine in the mast cells is sharply decreased in comparison with that of 5-hydroxytryptamine and in May-June the content of both amines is decreased nearly to background values. Both during spring and summer periods heparinic proteoglycan of the mast cell granules is stained only with alcian blue and does not take safranin. A suggestion is made on independence of the seasonal changes of annual rhythmical pattern of histamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine contents in the mast cells. A conclusion is made concerning possible participation of the mast cell system of organs and tissues in the seasonal changes of biogenic amine levels in them.
