The discovery of a specialized neuronal pathway for itch has markedly improved our understanding of itch processing under physiological conditions. However, the complex interactions of pain and itch are only partly understood. This review focuses on the neurophysiological mechanisms involved in clinical and experimental itch conditions. There is emerging evidence that similar patterns of peripheral and central sensitization occur in chronic pain and chronic itch conditions. It will be of major interest to reveal whether the underlying mechanism for sensitization in the itch and pain pathways are also similar, as this might have major implications for therapy. 相似文献

The antipruritic effect of a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist (tropisetron) is dependent on mast cell depletion – an experimental study 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The background of this study is that 5-HT3 receptor antagonists are reported to have an antipruritic effect in uremic and cholestatic pruritus. Recently, we could not confirm such an effect in healthy subjects under experimental conditions. Therefore, it was the aim of the present study to further evaluate a possible antipruritic effect of a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist (tropisetron) on serotonin- and histamine-induced itch before and after skin mast cell depletion in 10 healthy subjects. The results were compared to serotonin and histamine iontophoresis in non-pretreated and pretreated skin with an orally applied antihistamine (cetirizine). Skin mast cell depletion was performed by iontophoretical application of compound 48/80. Wheals and flares were planimetrically evaluated. Itching and burning sensations were rated on an analog scale over a 24-min period. The test protocol also comprised alloknesis, defined as induction of perifocal itch sensations by a mechanical stimulus. When serotonin was iontophoretically applied after mast cells had been depleted before, oral tropisetron resulted not only in significantly lower whealing, itching and alloknesis but also reduced flares. In contrast, after oral pretreatment with tropisetron histamine-induced reactions before and after mast cell depletion did not significantly change. Our study demonstrates that in this model, tropisetron as a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist does not effect histamine-induced itch but has a measurable effect in serotonin-induced reactions when mast cells were depleted before. From these data evidence now exists why tropisetron is to some extent effective in certain types of pruritus such as uremic pruritus, known for increased histamine liberation and increased serotonin levels as well as degranulated and diffusely spread mast cells in the skin. 相似文献

特应性皮炎是一种慢性炎症性皮肤病,以瘙痒为主要表现。微小刺激即可诱发患者亢进的搔抓欲望,表现出痒觉敏化。痒觉敏化包括痒觉超敏及痒觉异化,痒觉敏化的发生主要是神经、免疫及皮肤屏障共同作用的结果,本文综述了近年来特应性皮痒觉敏化机制的研究进展。 相似文献
