大鼠延髓外周橄榄腹外侧核在中枢化学感受中的作用

本工作采用微量注射、电损毁、电刺激和微电泳的方法，探讨了大鼠延髓外周橄榄腹外侧核（ＬＶＰＯ）的否真正参与中枢化学感受功能。实验在３８只雄性ＳＤ大鼠上进行。结果表明：（１）微量注射酸化人工脑脊液于ＬＶＰＯ可引起隔神经放电活动明显加强。（２）微电泳给予Ｈ＾＋对ＬＶＰＯ的自发放电单位主要引起兴奋反应，微电泳给予Ｈ＾＋引起兴奋反应的部分单位也可被腹外侧表面微量注射酸化人工ＣＳＦ所兴奋。（３）损毁ＬＶＰＯ后

ROLE OF THE LATEROVENTRAL PERIOLIVARY NUCLEUS IN THE CENTRAL CHEMORECEPTION OF RESPIRATION IN RATS

Using the methods of microinjection, microiontophoresis, electrolytic destruction and electric stimulation, the present work was undertaken to investigate whether the lateroventral periolivary nucleus (LVPO) might play a role in the central mechanism of chemoreception on respiration. Experiments were performed on 38 chloralose-urethane anesthetized Sprague-Dawley rats. The results were as follows: (1) Bilateral microinjection of acidified mock CSF into the LVPO region, evoked an enhancement in respiratory activities. (2) Microiontophoretic application of H caused mainly excitatory effeets on the spontaneously discharging units in LVPO region, and some of the excitatory units were also responsible to microinjection of acidified mock CSF to the ventrolateral medullary surface. (3) After the electrolytic destruction of bilateral LVPO region in carotid body denervated rats, respiratory response to inhaled CO2 was attenuated significantly.(4) Electric stimulation of LVPO region caused an increase in discharging frequency of some units in the NTS and NRA regions. The above results indicate that LVPO plays a significant role in the central mechanism of chemoreception.
