Neurotrophins and neurotransmitters in human palatine tonsils: an immunohistochemical and RT-PCR analysis.
Lymphoid organs are supplied by many nerve endings associated with different kinds of cells and macrophages. The role of these neuromediators on the release of locally active molecules is still unknown. Here we focused our attention on the expression of some neurotrophins (NTs), their high- and low-affinity receptors and several neurotransmitters in human palatine tonsils. Light and electron mi...
متن کاملMicrovascular organization of human palatine tonsils.
We describe the three-dimensional organization of the microvasculature of human palatine tonsils as revealed by the vascular corrosion casting/scanning electron microscope method and light microscopy of sections. The tonsillar arteries travel in the connective tissue septa and give off many branches. They further branch into arterioles which in turn enter the follicle and the interfollicular re...
متن کاملQUANTITATIVE IMMUNOHISTOCHEMICAL INVESTIGATION OF IgA1 AND IgA2 IN NASOPHARYNGEAL AND PALATINE TONSILS
Localization of IgA1,2 positive objects has been studied quantitatively in the palatine and nasopharyngeal tonsils of 20 patients with pathological recurrent tonsillitis or adenoid hyperplasia. We found expression of IgA1 and IgA2 positive objects both in the tonsillar parenchyma and epithelium with predomination of the IgA1 subclass. An attempt was made to connect the morphological changes in ...
متن کاملPhysiological FDG uptake in the palatine tonsils.
In clinical F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) studies of the head and neck region, remarkable symmetric tonsillar FDG uptake is sometimes observed. We determined the incidence and degree of tonsillar FDG uptake and investigated the significance of tonsillar FDG uptake. Between June 1998 and August 1998, we obtained informed consent from 17 patients who were schedu...
متن کاملHidden Sepsis in the Palatine Tonsils
we get indications of its location and nature. We spend much of our time in looking for foci of infection, and their discovery and eradication often bring most gratifying results; conversely, overlooked foci produce many of the tragic and irreparable conditions that we frequently see in general practice. I refer to advanced cases of arthritis, cardiovascular disease, and patients with general d...
