牵拉膀胱对脊髓背角躯体反应神经元的效应

实验用脊髓大白鼠,电刺激左侧腓肠神经,玻璃微电极在脊髓背角记录到157个反应神经元;记录的神经元单位放电稳定后,采用牵拉膀胱的方法,发现其中32个神经元对内脏传入也发生反应,称之为躯体——内脏会聚神经元(somatovisceral Convergent neuron SVCN)。根据传导速度推算,本实验兴奋的内脏传入属N类纤维。实验发现牵拉膀胱,引起9个WDR神经元躯体传入晚成分增加。另外记录到15个有自发放电的神经元,牵拉膀胱,13个自发放电增多,2个减少。本文为躯体、内脏传入在脊髓背角的会聚增添了新资料,并为膀胱疾患牵涉痛的中枢机制提供了实验依据。

EFFECTS OF STRETCHING URINARY BLADDER ON DORSAL HORN NEURONS IDENTIFIED BY SOMATIC AFFERENTS

Single unit activity were recorded from 157 dorsal horn neurons in the spinal rats by stimulation of left surat nerves. Stretching urinary bladder were performed after the neurons were identified by somatic afferents. 32 out of the 157 could also be activated by stretching urinary bladders. These recorded dorsal horn neurons which responded to both somatic and visceral inputs are called somatovisceral convergent neurons (SVCN). The afferent visceral fibers were N group according to conductive velocity in our experiment. It has been shown that C-fiber component in 9 WDR neurons were incresed by stimulating the left sural nerves after stretching urinary bladders. 15 spontaneous- discharge WDR neurons were recorded and 13 out of them were excited, meanwhile, 2 out of them were inhibited after urinary bladders were stretched. The study provides the new data for the convergence from the somatic and visceral afferents in the dorsal horn of spinal cord and supplies the first evidence for central mecha nism of visceral referred pain.
