Blood velocity in the coronary artery circulation: relation to thromboxane A2 levels in coronary sinus in patients with angiographically normal coronary arteries.

In the present study, we report the finding that some patients with spontaneous typical angina and angiographically normal coronary arteries present an abnormal cardiocoronary capacity to produce thromboxane A2, both in basal conditions and after sympathetic stimulation. The levels of thromboxane A2 in coronary sinus are significantly correlated to the rate of clearance of contrast medium in coronary circulation. Such a finding might be useful in better understanding the interesting syndrome of angina with normal coronary arteries.

Neuronal structural proteins, transmitters, transmitter enzymes and neuropeptides in human Meissner's corpuscles: a reappraisal using immunohistochemistry.

The innervation of Meissner's corpuscles (Mc) is complex, consisting of different types of sensory nerve fibers. We investigated the neurochemistry of Mc in human digital skin by indirect immunofluorescence, using a wide panel of both general neuronal as well as neurotransmitter-related molecules. Structural proteins (protein gene product 9.5, neuron-specific enolase, neurofilament) were found to consistently label the entire neuronal component of Mc. Immunoreactivity for gamma-melanocyte stimulating hormone was detected in the large diameter fibers running spirally within the corpuscles, while a number of peptide transmitters (substance P, calcitonin gene-related peptide, neurokinin A, galanin, somatostatin) were found in the thin unmyelinated fibers in both intra- and extracorpuscular locations.
