简介:客观:为了探索颈的方面关节的神经分布的模式并且从方面关节决定小径到背面的根中心(DRG)以便澄清,膜弥漫的颈疼痛,头疼,和肩膀疼痛使用。方法:42男Sprague-Dawleyrats,称250-300g,随机被划分成三个组:组A(n=18),组B(n=18),和组C(n=6)。在有intraperitonealpentobarbital钠(45mg/kg身体重量)的麻醉下面,背面的纵的切口在颈的脊骨上被做在一台显微镜下面暴露所有老鼠的左颈的方面关节囊的一条中线。在组A的老鼠在组B和组C经历了交感神经切除术,而是老鼠没经历交感神经切除术。然后,0.6μl5%bisbenzimide(Bb)被注入C_(1-2),C_(3-4)和方面在组A和组B分别地6只老鼠连接的C_(5-6)。洞立即与矿物质蜡被封上阻止Bb和扁带的漏,皮被闭上。但是在组C,0.9%正常盐被注入相应的联合的囊。然后在有intraperitonealpentobarbital钠(45mg/kg身体重量)的深重新麻醉下面,在所有老鼠的C_1-C_8左DRG和在组B的同情的中心被获得,标记的神经原的数字是坚定的。结果:用Bb标记的神经原在组B在在组A和组B,和同情的中心的C_1-C_8DRG是在场的。在C_(1-2)和C_(3-4)亚群,标记的神经原从C_1toC_8DRG是在场的,当在C_(5-6)亚群他们从C_3到C_8时。没有交感神经切除术,在交感神经切除术以后的Bb(+)神经原的数字不在从那的注射水平是显著地不同的。但是在其它铺平,在交感神经切除术以后的Bb(+)神经原的数字是显著地不到那没有交感神经切除术。结论:颈的方面关节的神经分布从感觉、同情的神经系统被导出,并且DRG在中央神经系统外面通过神经纤维与同情的中心被联系。
