Pacinian corpuscles hyperplasia--an uncommon cause of digital pain.
The authors present two cases of hyperplasia of Pacinian corpuscles, one in the hand and another in the foot. In the hand the corpuscles were located along the radial border of the pulp of the little finger and presented with localised sharp pain. In the foot, it presented as metatarsalgia in association with Morton's neuroma of the second web space. Both patients underwent exploration and exci...
متن کاملLectin and proteoglycan histochemistry of feline pacinian corpuscles.
We studied carbohydrate residues of glycoproteins and proteoglycans (PGs) in peritoneal Pacinian corpuscles of five adult cats. Terminal monosaccharides of glycoproteins and related polysaccharides were identified by lectin histochemistry and the PGs and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) by specific antibodies. The most intensive lectin staining reactions indicated an abundance of glycoconjugates with ...
متن کاملGABAergic/glutamatergic-glial/neuronal interaction contributes to rapid adaptation in pacinian corpuscles.
Pacinian corpuscles (PCs) are tactile receptors composed of a nerve ending (neurite) that is encapsulated by layers of lamellar cells. PCs are classified as primary mechanoreceptors because there is no synapse between the transductive membrane and the site of action-potential generation. These touch receptors respond in a rapidly adapting manner to sustained pressure (indentation or displacemen...
متن کاملPacinian Corpuscles in the Digits of the House Musk Shrew (Suncus murinus)-Preliminary note-
The distribution and morphology of the digital Pacinian corpuscles in the laboratory house musk shrew, Suncus murinlls, were examined by light and electron microscopes. The Pacinian corpuscles occurred bilaterally along the digital nerves in the 'connective tissue between the flexor digitorum tendons and palmar aspects of the phalanges. They were oval or ellipsoidal in shape and were small, bea...
متن کاملFine Structure of Pacinian Corpuscles in the Mesentery of the Cat
Pacinian corpuscles in the mesentery of adult cats were fixed with either glutaraldehyde, osmium tetroxide or permanganate solutions by close intra-arterial injection through the mesenteric artery, and were processed, after electron staining and Epon embedding, for electron microscopy. Better resolution of the corpuscle's ultrastructure was obtained than available heretofore. The myelinated seg...
