Methods: Adult Wistar rats underwent splenectomy and splenic autotransplantation, or sham-operation. On day 7, 14, 30, 60, 90, 120, and 180 after surgery, the density of GAP-43+ nerve fibers in spleen tissues were measured with the immunohistochemistry followed by computer image analysis. The expressions of GAP-43, NGF and TrkA were determined with in situ hybrdization, and their mRNA levels were detected with RT-PCR and image analysis qualification. Results: (1) The GAP-43+ nerve fibers began their regeneration on 30 d after operation and extended from greater omentum into splenic autotransplants. Density of the nerve fibers gradually became greater and almost normal 180 d after operation. (2) In splenic autografts, the mRNA expression of GAP-43, NGF and TrkA appeared on day 30 after the operation, gradually reached the peak on day 90. Conclusion: The renascent GAP-43+ nerve fibers may come from the greater omentum packaging the splenic autografts and NGF and TrkA can promote the nerval regeneration in the autotransplant spleen tissues.展开更多

Methods: Eighty adult Wistar rats were randonjy divided into experimental and control groups.The formers underwent splenotomy and a half splenie slice was transplanted into greater omentum. The latter only moved. After 6 months, examination was made as follows: ① After injection of 0.4% carbon particles by vein, spleme tissues were taken out at different times for estimating phagocytosis by light microscope. ② When splenic tissues had been intubated into left ventricle under total anesthesia, animals were perfused by formalin and India ink mixture suspension. Splenic tissues were taken out for making sections for measurement of area density of blood vessels.③ Immunohistochemical procedure was used for detecting neuropeptide Y(NPY). Results: Phagocytie functions had no difference between two groups, hut the area density of blood vessels and NPY-positive fibers re-dued (P<0.01) in experimental group. Conclusion:Autotransplanted splenic tissues show good innate immunity though regeneration of blood vessels and nerves do not reach normal level.展开更多
