    Notes: Abstract Electromagnetic fission of238U projectiles at E/A =600 and 1000 MeV was studied with the ALADIN spectrometer at the heavy-ion synchrotron SIS. Seven different targets (Be, C, Al, Cu, In, Au and U) were used. By considering only those fission events where the two charges added up to 92, most of the nuclear interactions were excluded. The nuclear contributions to the measured fission cross sections were determined by extrapolating from beryllium to the heavier targets with the concept of factorization. The obtained cross sections for electromagnetic fission are well reproduced by extended Weizsäcker-Williams calculations which include E1 and E2 excitations. The asymmetry of the fission fragments' charge distribution gives evidence for the excitation of the double giant-dipole resonance in uranium.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung C-Faser Nozizeptoren haben neben ihrer afferenten auch lokale efferente Funktionen, wie Vasodilatation, Plasmaextravasation und die Modulation neuronaler Aktivität, die durch Freisetzung der Neuropeptide Substanz P, Neurokinin A und Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (CGRP) an der peripheren Endigung ausgelöst werden. In der Haut der Säugetiere (einschließlich Mensch) ist CGRP der wichtigste Mediator der Flarereaktion. Die Vasodilatation wird beim Schwein durch Aktivierung von spezifischen Hitzenozizeptoren induziert. Bei der Taube wird die antidrome Vasodilatation durch intrinsisch freigesetztes Galanin gehemmt. Plasmaextravasation kann beim Schwein in Hautblasen und mit der Mikrodialyse durch Histaminsuperfusion, nicht aber durch elektrische Stimulation und Capsaicin, ausgelöst werden. Die neurogene Komponente der Histaminantwort (64%) wird durch NK2-Rezeptoren vermittelt und kann durch CGRP moduliert werden. Die genannten Neuropeptide können zur Sensibilisierung und unter bestimmten Bedingungen zur Stimulation von Nozizeptoren führen. Die erhöhte Sensitivität der Flarereaktion bei Fibromyalgiepatienten deutet auf eine veränderte Funktion der C-Faser Nozizeptoren hin.
    Notes: Summary C-fiber nociceptors not only serve afferent but also local efferent functions. The local efferent functions, such as vasodilatation, axon reflex flare reaction, plasma extravasation, and modulation of neuronal activity, are mediated via a local release of substance P, neurokinin A, and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) from the peripheral ending. CGRP is the main mediator of the capsaicin-induced flare reaction in the mammalian skin (including humans). In the pig skin the vasodilatation is due to activation of specific heat nociceptors. In the pigeon, antidromic vasodilatation is markedly inhibited by intrinsic galanin. Plasma extravasation in the pig skin blister base or using microdialysis can be evoked by histamine, but not by electrical stimulation or capsaicin. The neurogenic component of the histamine response (64%) appears to be mediated via NK2 receptors and can be modulated by CGRP. There is some evidence that the neuropeptides can also sensitize or stimulate nociceptors. Since in the fibromyalgia syndrome an increased sensitivity of the flare reaction has been observed, the hyperalgesia might be partly due to altered functions of C-fiber nociceptors.
