OBSERVATION ON THE IMMUNOHISTOCHEMICAL LABELLING OF Fos PROTEIN AND OX_(42) ON THE MVZ IN RAT FOLLOWING STOMACHIC NOCICEPTION / 解剖学报

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the distribution relationship of microglia and neuron in rat medullary visceral zone(MVZ) after stomatic nociception. Methods After 2ml formalin(2.5%)injection in rat stomach by tiny plastic tube,Anti-Fos protein(labeling neuron)and anti-OX 42(labeling microglia)single and double immunohistochemical ABC method staining on model medulla oblongata sections in different time point(0.5h,1h,2h and 3h) were used. Results 1.After wakefulness,the animal models appear restlessness and agitation in 1-2h.2.We found hemorrhage and exfoliation in model's gastric mucosa.3.Fos positive neurons and OX 42 positive microglias were observed in MVZ,whose distribution was congruous and appeared clearly character of locations.4.The results of immunochemical diplex staining indicate that many Fos positive neurons were surrounded by intensive OX 42positive microglias.5.OX 42 positive microglia showed a tendency,which increased in 0.5-2h and decreased in 3h.Conclusion Neurons and microglia in MVZ may be involved in visceral nociception transfer and adjustment function.
