The mesentery nerve fiberswere as well developed as shown in their normallittermates. Abundant proliferation of PGP 9.5positive nerve fibers was revealed in thestenosed segment of HD colon.CONCLUSION Trisomy 16 mice could serve asaganglionic bowel in the distal part of colon.Abundant proliferation of PGP 9.5 positive fibersresulted from extrinsic nerve compensation,since no ganglionic cells were observed in thestenosed segment of the colon in HD. HD has agenetic tendency.展开更多
