Histochemical study on the change in lymphatic motion and nitric oxide synthase in the early phase of acute rat endotoxemia / 中国病理生理杂志

AIM:To study the changes in lymphatic motion and histochemical stain of nitric oxide synthase(NOS) in the early phase of acute rat endotoxemia and explore their relationship. METHODS: After lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was injected into femoral vein, rats' mesenteric lymphatic were inspected within two hours. Paraffin section was stained by HE, frozen section by NADPH diaphorase histochemistry. RESULTS: In LPS group, the mesenteric lymphatic diameter was greater than that in the control and contractile frequency was decreased, the villi central lacteal and submucosal microlymphatics of small intestine was extremely dilated under microscope. In LPS and control group, NOS was positive in lymphatic endothelia and the nerve fibers in the vessels' wall. CONCLUSION: In the early stage of acute endotoxemia, the lymphatic vessles dilated and contractile activity diminished, NOS may play an important role in these changes.

OBSERVATION ON MORPHOLOGICAL TYPES OF THE ARTERIOVENOUS ANASTOMOSES AND THE BEHAVIOUR OF CUTANEOUS ARTERIOVENOUS ANASTOMOSES AFTER THERMAL STIMULATION OF THE INTRAVERTEBRAL CANAL / 解剖学报

Using inverted microscopy and circuit TV, the morphological type, diameter of arteriovenous anastomoses (AVAs) in 11 rabbit's ear chambers were observed. According the joining forms with arterioles and venules in 68 AVAs, there were 4 types: type Ⅰ 58.8％, type Ⅱ 19.4％, type Ⅲ 11.1％, type ⅣV 10.7％. The inner diameters of the AVAs when dialated, measured 36.6?1.67?m at their arterial ends, 16+0.6?m at their narrow points, 66?4?m at their venous ends.This study showed that dilation of AVAs in the rabbit's ear is a graded response which correlates with the rise in intravertebral canal temperature. Some AVAs have multiple venous segments which vary in diameters. It was observed that the behaviour were different after intravertebral canal warming.
