Oligodendrocyte selective vulnerability in gray matter area and the effect of subhypothermia after transient forebrain ischemia in gerbils / 临床神经病学杂志

Objective To explore oligodendrocyte selective vulnerability in gray matter area and the effect of subhypothermia after transient forebrain ischemia in gerbils.Methods The gerbils model of forebrain ischemia was induced by 15 min bilateral carotid occlusion.All gerbils were divided randomly into sham operation group,ischemic reperfusion group and subhypothermia treatment group (32.5?0.5℃).Immunohistochemistry for cell specific antigens (transferrin,TF) was used to identify oligodendrocyte.Results The density of TF positive oligodendrocyte in the cortex at 1～2 days reperfusion following ischemia decreased remarkably (P
