| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose was to investigate our hypothesis that among workers exposed to vibration, vasodilation of peripheral vessels is induced by vibration-induced direct effects and vasoconstriction, by its indirect effects mediated by autonomic nervous system. Analysis of frozen plasma samples collected 25 years ago from patients with typical vibration syndrome and age-matched healthy controls revealed characteristics of patients with vibration disorders for the biomarkers endothelin-1 and HS-CRP. However, we could not reveal desired results regarding Substance P, CGRP, and vWF due to insufficient precision and mutual interference of relevant ELISA kits. Our investigation on the concomitant changes and response patterns in finger vibrotactile perception and finger blood flow induced by acute exposure of healthy subjects to vibration revealed predominant role of Pacinian mechanoreceptors, and the responses did not follow the changes specified in the international standard ISO 5349-1 (2001).
