Although myentric nerve plexus preparations technique was reported very early. But we have done experiment over and over during our research work in order to improve this traditional method and to meet the needs of our research work, we made some progresses in regular mount preparations after many experiments, which helped offer better situation in observing myentric nerve plexus. Methods: Five healthy male adult Kunming mice (20-30 g in weight) were used in this study. After intraperitoneal injection of muscle relaxant, with dislocation of cervical vertebra method, the abdominal cavity was exposed through abdominal median incision. After several steps of mount preparations the mucous layer and longitudinal muscle layer mount preparations with myentric nerve plexus were stripped under anatomical microscope. Immunohistochemical staining was also used in our study. Results: The mount preparation samples with myentric nerve plexus from intestines of mice showed positive SP immunoreaction. The positive cells were dark brown. Many of the cytons appeared circular and oval, while some appeared triangular or irregular. Conclusion: Our improved method is really a good method to show enteric nerve plexus. The method has many advantages and is particularly applied to small animals such as Kunming mice and BALB/c mice, weighing from 20 g to 30 g.展开更多

METHODS Dissections of 8 Sprague-dawley rats were performed to examine the intercostobrachial nerve. Fifteen dissections were successful. The position of the nerve, origin, termination, length and diameter were measured and recorded. RESULTS 1) 80% of the nerves originated from the second intercostal space and 20% from the first intercostal space; 2) 60% of the nerves terminated in the latissimus dorsi and 40% in the axillary skin 3) the branches of the nerves only were divided into 2 types, single and double; 4) the length of the nerves ranged from 2.4 to 3.4 cm with an average of 2.97±0.90 cm; 5) the diameter of the nerves was thicker at their origin compared to their termination. CONCLUSION The intercostobrachial nerve is simple in rats with 60% terminating in the latissimus dorsi.展开更多

Methods: we opened the thorax of the dog and exposed the aorta. The descending aorta right below the left innominated artery was damped. The median was cut 1/3 in depth and 1/3 in circumference. Then the head of the ballcon was put into the interspace of the median, the balloon was dilated after putting forward the tube, the normal saline was instilled into the interspace and a suit pressure was kept. The balloon proceeded alongside the separation of the median. After that the elasticity Protease was instilled into the separation maintained for 2 hours. The balloon was put out, the other 2/3 of the median in depth and the intima were cut. The external 1/3 part of the median and the adventitia were sutured. At last the chest wall was dosed. Results: TAD model was established instantly, proved by angiography, MRI and autopsy. Conclusion: it is applicable to construction of a canine TAD model by this procedure.展开更多
