摘要
Experimental high-velocity missile injuries were produced on both hind legs of 15 dogs.It was found that the concentration of vasoactive intestinal peptide-like immunoreactivity(VIP-LI)significantly elevated in both plasma and brain at the early stage after injuries.However,thechanges of VIP-LI concentration in the plasma and brain did not coincide with each other.The re-sults suggest that VIP-LI may participate in the post-traumatic general reaction.The significanceand machanism of the elevation of cerebral VIP-LI level after a severe non-cerebral trauma remainto be clarified.
