Pain due to experimental acidosis in human skin: evidence for non-adapting nociceptor excitation

Abstract

The mechanisms of acid pain induction by superfusion of a human blister base and by intradermal infusion of acid phosphate buffer are compared in this study. Superfusion of a freshly opened blister base with CO2-saturated 'synthetic interstitial fluid' (pH 6.1) led to pain that linearly faded away during 15 min. In contrast, the protein content of the blister effluate approached a very low basal level within the first 5 min of superfusion, irrespective of the pH applied, which suggests a progressive sealing of the blister base impeding macromolecular permeation first, and invasion of protons and CO2 later. In contrast, pressure infusion of an acidic buffer into the skin induced constant pain for as long as a flow rate was maintained. The time course and distribution of the intracutaneous pH changes induced were monitored at different distances to the infusion point using a pH-sensitive needle electrode. The continuous infusion produced a restricted area of cutaneous tissue acidosis where pH values were sufficiently low presumably to excite nociceptors. This area had relatively sharp borders, and in the border zone a steady-state of the local pH was reached within about 20 min (at an infusion rate of 40 ml/h) suggesting a balanc...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
