Study on fine carbon fiber powder injected into cranium of rabbits / 中国病理生理杂志

ABSTRACT

AIM: To study dynamically the effect on the rabbits after fine carbon fiber powder was transplanted into their cranium. METHODS: After fine carbon fiber powder was injected into subdural cavity of rabbits, examination of histopathology and EEG were carried out. RESULTS: General observation 1-104 weeks after injecting, no neuropathological changes concerning with the injecting of the carbon fiber powder were found in the rabbits of experimental group; Under optical microscopes 1-2 weeks after injecting, slight inflammatory reaction in meninx was found and disappeared generally 4 weeks after injecting, no obvious fiber membrane was found around the carbon fiber, no significant differences were showed between the experimental group (EG) and the control group (CG); Examination of EEG 1-2 weeks after injecting, slight abnormal changes of EEG in both two groups were showed, but no significant differences was found between them. 4 weeks after injecting, the EEG of the two groups was restored to their normal state before injecting. 1-8 weeks after injecting, no obvious epilepsy waves were showed. CONCLUSION: The fine carbon fiber powder showed excellent histocompatibility after injected into the subdural cavity of rabbits.
