Morphological and ultrastructural changes of the neuro-endocrine-immune network in the tumor transplantation animal model of abnormal Savda syndrome / 中华中医药杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:Abnormal Savda syndrome transplantation tumor model was established on the basis ofabnormal Savda syndrome model in order to study the relevance between the abnormal Savda syndrome tumor and the disorder ofthe neuroendocrine-immune network by analyzing morphological and ultrastructural changes ofthe hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis(HPAA).Methods:120 ICR mice were divided randomly into four groups(control, tumor model, abnormal Savda syndrome model, and abnormal Savda syndrome tumor transplantation model).The structural changes in hypothalamus, pituitary and adrenal glands were analyzed by bright-field and electron microscopy.Results:First, in abnormal Savda syndrome, the rate oftumor transplantation was increased significantly than in the normal state(93.3% and 56.7%, respectively, P
