The Breuer-Hering reflex (BHR) reappears 12-14 wk after surgical lung denervation in beagle dogs (J. Appl. Physiol. 54: 1451-1456, 1983). To demonstrate that this is due to reinnervation of pulmonary stretch receptors, we recorded nerve activity from regenerated branches of the left vagus nerve in five beagle dogs. Ten days postdenervation the BHR was absent, whereas by 19 mo it was clearly present. Multifiber pulmonary afferent activity was observed in all five dogs with single-fiber activity observed in three. Sectioning the right vagus nerve did not alter the BHR, but sectioning all the regenerated branches of the left vagus abolished the reflex. In two additional dogs studied 17 mo postsurgery, recordings were made from few fiber nerve bundles of the left cervical vagus. Nerve activity was increased during gentle stroking of the surface of the left upper and lower lobes, indicating receptive fields in both lobes. These data demonstrate that reinnervation of pulmonary stretch receptors does occur and provides evidence that reinnervation of these receptors is responsible for return of the BHR after pulmonary denervation. 相似文献

本文旨在研究电刺激家兔迷走神经诱导的黑-伯(Hering-Breuer,HB)反射中的学习和记忆现象。选择性电刺激家兔迷走神经中枢端(频率10~100Hz,强度20~60μA,波宽0.3ms,持续60s),观察对膈神经放电的影响。以不同频率电刺激家兔迷走神经可模拟HB反射的两种成分,即类似肺容积增大所致抑制吸气的肺扩张反射和类似肺容积缩小所致加强吸气的肺萎陷反射。(1)长时高频(≥40Hz,60s)电刺激迷走神经可模拟呼吸频率减慢,呼气时程延长的肺扩张反射。随着刺激时间的延长,膈神经放电抑制的程度逐渐衰减,表现为呼吸频率的减慢(主要由呼气时程延长所致)在刺激过程中逐渐减弱或消失,显示为适应性或“习惯化”的现象;刺激结束时呼吸运动呈现反跳性增强,表现为一过性的呼气时程缩短,呼吸频率加快,然后才逐渐恢复正常。长时低频(〈40Hz,60s)电刺激迷走神经可模拟呼吸频率加快、呼气时程缩短的肺萎陷反射。随着刺激时间的延长,膈神经放电增强的程度逐渐衰减,同样表现出“习惯化”现象;刺激结束后,膈神经放电不是突然降低,而是继续衰减,表现为呼气时程逐渐延长,呼吸频率逐渐减慢,直至恢复到前对照水平,表现了刺激后的短时增强效应。(2)HB反射的适应性或“习惯化”程度反向依赖于刺激强度和刺激频率,表现为随着刺激强度和频率的增加,膈神经放电越远离正常基线水平,即爿惯化程度减弱。结果表明,家兔HB反射具有“习惯化”这一非联合型学习现象,反映与其有关的呼吸神经元网络具有突触功能的可翅性,呼吸的中枢调控反射具有一定的适应性。 相似文献

BackgroundVagus nerve stimulation is increasingly applied to treat epilepsy, psychiatric conditions and potentially chronic heart failure. After implanting vagus nerve electrodes to the cervical vagus nerve, side effects such as voice alterations and dyspnea or missing therapeutic effects are observed at different frequencies. Cervical vagus nerve branching might partly be responsible for these effects. However, vagus nerve branching has not yet been described in the context of vagus nerve stimulation.ResultsCervical vagus nerve branching was observed in 29% of all cases (26% unilaterally, 3% bilaterally) and proven histologically in all cases. Right-sided branching (22%) was more common than left-sided branching (12%) and occurred on the level of the fourth and fifth vertebra on the left and on the level of the second to fifth vertebra on the right side. Vagus nerves without branching were significantly larger than vagus nerves with branches, concerning their diameters (4.79 mm vs. 3.78 mm) and cross-sections (7.24 mm2 vs. 5.28 mm2).DiscussionCervical vagus nerve branching is considerably more frequent than described previously. The side-dependent differences of vagus nerve branching may be linked to the asymmetric effects of the vagus nerve. Cervical vagus nerve branching should be taken into account when identifying main trunk of the vagus nerve for implanting electrodes to minimize potential side effects or lacking therapeutic benefits of vagus nerve stimulation. 相似文献

Recovery from respiratory inhibition produced by the lung inflation reflex was studied in anesthetized dogs, paralyzed and ventilated with a respiratory pump. During constant ventilation the lungs were periodically inflated using positive end-expiratory pressure, while the respiratory motor output was monitored in the phrenic nerve. Inhibition of the phrenic discharge was followed by gradual recovery throughout 8-min inflation periods despite constant blood gases. Recording afferent potentials in a vagus nerve indicated that adaptation of pulmonary stretch receptors contributed to the initial recovery of the phrenic discharge, but this recovery continued after the receptor discharge had stabilized. The phrenic discharge also recovered after initial inhibition in two situations which avoided stretch receptor adaptation: a) when the stretch receptor discharge from the separate lungs was alternated in an overlapping manner by asynchronous pulmonary ventilation, and b) during continuous electrical stimulation of a vagus nerve. Phrenic activity was temporarily increased above its control value after periods of lung inflation, asynchronous ventilation and vagal stimulation. It is concluded that the lung inflation reflex gradually attenuates during prolonged stimulation due to both stretch receptor adaptation and changes within the central pathways. 相似文献

Slowly adapting lung stretch receptors (SARs) and their vagal afferents are considered to play an important role in the mediation of numerous respiratory reflexes. The understanding of such reflexes has been facilitated by altering the discharge properties of SARs or by preventing the conduction of SAR-generated impulses to the brain stem. In a number of naturally occurring diseases of the peripheral nervous system, the vagus nerve and vagal reflexes are damaged. We have studied the function of SARs in anesthetized dogs with acrylamide neuropathy, a distal axonopathy that has been used as a model of naturally occurring neuropathies. There was a marked increase in threshold and decrease in firing rate of SARs in dogs with moderate neuropathy. Abnormal SAR discharge patterns were observed, and there was a depletion of those units innervated by the fastest conducting vagal afferent fibers in treated animals. Acrylamide induced degeneration of myelinated fibers in bronchial branches of the vagus nerve. These abnormalities were partially reversed upon withdrawal of the neurotoxin. Acrylamide may be a useful agent in the study of vagally mediated respiratory reflexes. SAR function is likely to be abnormal in diseases of the peripheral nervous system. 相似文献

Complex examination of lungs in 24 healthy guinea pigs in different periods of day using physicochemical, biochemical and electron-microscopic methods has revealed that the highest surface activity of the pulmonary surfactant (PS) is observed in the evening and at night, as phospholipids contain the highest amount of a surfactant of the phosphatidylcholine fraction the most active in the surface-active respect. An increase in the content of PS phospholipids in this period of the day appears to be a consequence of synthesis and secretion intensification in the second-type alveolocytes, that may be due to an increased effect of the vagus nerve. 相似文献

Pulmonary vascular congestion or pulmonary embolism in humans produces shallow tachypnea, and indirect experimental evidence suggests that this characteristic breathing pattern may result from activation of vagal unmyelinated afferents from the lung. We have investigated, in decerebrate cats, reflex changes in breathing pattern and in the activation of the diaphragm, posterior cricoarytenoid, and thyroarytenoid muscles caused by activating C-fiber afferents in the vagus nerve. The right vagus nerve was sectioned distal to the origin of the recurrent laryngeal nerve, eliminating vagal afferent traffic although preserving motor innervation of the larynx on that side. The left cervical vagus was stimulated electrically, and efferent activation of the laryngeal muscles was avoided by cutting the left recurrent laryngeal nerve. Transmission to the brain of vagal afferent traffic resulting from this stimulation was controlled by graded cold block of the nerve cranial to the site of application of the stimulus. Activation of C-fibers, when A-fibers were blocked, significantly decreased respiratory period and amplitude of diaphragm inspiratory burst. In addition, this selective activation of vagal C-fibers augmented postinspiratory activity of the diaphragm and recruited phasic expiratory bursts in the thyroarytenoid. We conclude that, in unanesthetized decerebrate cats, afferent traffic of vagal C-fibers initiates a pontomedullary reflex that increases respiratory frequency, decreases tidal volume, and augments braking of expiratory airflow. 相似文献

A procedure to isolate the sympathetic nerve supply to the lung has been developed in the rabbit. Electrical stimulation (50V, 1ms, 10Hz) of these nerves released norepinephrine (NE) which could be measured in the outflows from lungs perfused via the pulmonary artery. On the average 19 ng NE/stimulation period were found in the perfusates. The release of NE from the lung by nerve stimulation is thereby demonstrated by direct measurement of the amine. Infusion of methacholine (1 or 10 ug/ml) and excitation of the vagus nerves inhibited the output of NE. These data suggest existence of a sympathetic-parasympathetic presynaptic balance in the lung. 相似文献

Abstract— Rat sympathetic ganglia, vagus nerve and sciatic nerve were each incubated with inorganic 32 P for various lengths of time and the resultant labelling of their inositol lipids was measured.
At all times up to 3 hr phosphatidylinositol was the most highly labelled lipid of ganglia, while triphosphoinositide was the most active lipid of vagus and sciatic nerves. Removal of calcium ions from the incubation media had no significant effect on the incorporation of phosphate into any of the inositol lipids of sympathetic ganglia. 相似文献

A previous study in our laboratory demonstrated that the stimulation with microinjection of DL-homocysteic acid of cell bodies in the rostral portion of the external formation of the nucleus ambiguus (Aext) increased total lung resistance in dogs. In the present study anatomic experiments were conducted in dogs to determine if the rostral Aext contains vagal preganglionic cell bodies that give rise to axons in the pulmonary branches of the vagus nerve. The application of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) to either the pulmonary branches or the vagus at a point between the pulmonary branches and the cardiac branches resulted in retrograde labeling of cell bodies in both rostral Aext and the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (DMN). On the other hand, application of HRP to the vagus at a point below the pulmonary branches did not result in any retrogradely labeled cell bodies in rostral Aext but did result in labeled cell bodies in DMN. In another series of experiments DL-homocysteic acid (2.5 nmol in 25 nl) was microinjected at sites in rostral Aext and DMN. As we previously reported the injection of DL-homocysteic acid in rostral Aext increased total lung resistance. In contrast, in the same animals, the injection of DL-homocysteic acid in DMN did not change total lung resistance. We conclude that bronchomotor vagal preganglionic cell bodies are located in rostral Aext but not in DMN. The functional significance of vagal preganglionic cell bodies in DMN whose axons contribute to the pulmonary branches of the vagus nerve remains to be determined. 相似文献

Inhibition of norepinephrine re-uptake by angiotensin in brain 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
—A method for perfusion of rat brain ventricles accompanied by electrical stimulation of right vagus nerve was used in the study of the re-uptake mechanism of norepinephrine in rat brain. Tritiated norepinephrine was injected into the left lateral brain ventricle. After a 1-hr equilibration period, the brain was perfused, and effluent was collected and assayed for norepinephrine, normetanephrine and acid metabolites by means of column chromatography and liquid scintillation counting. Electrical stimulation of central end of right vagus nerve produced a significant release of norepinephrine and decrease of acid metabolites; this indicates a shift of catecholamines to extracellular sites. Angiotensin (200 ng/min) added to the perfusion fluid potentiated the effect of nerve stimulation. Cocaine, desmethylimipramine and phenoxybenzamine greatly reduced the release of norepinephrine from brain tissue. None on these drugs potentiated the effect of angiotensin. It is concluded that angiotensin prevents re-uptake of norepinephrine released by nerve stimulation. As a naturally occurring, physiologically active peptide, angiotensin seems to be highly specific in modulation of adrenergie neurotransmission, allowing increased extraneuronal accumulation of neurotransmitter. 相似文献

The respiratory response to hypercapnia has been investigated in 10 anesthetized rabbits by use of a rebreathing technique. The responses were obtained in three situations: with one intact vagus nerve (control), during differential block of conduction, and after vagotomy. Differential block was achieved using anodal hyperpolarization by application of a direct current to the cervical vagus nerve. Great care was taken during the differential block to establish that all impulse conduction in myelinated fibers of the cervical vagus nerve was abolished but that the nonmyelinated fibers conducted normally. Additionally, in five more rabbits the nature of the differential block was confirmed from single-fiber recordings of activity in both myelinated and nonmyelinated fibers. The same increase in tidal volume in response to hypercapnia was present in all three experimental situations, indicating that it was not vagally mediated. The increase in frequency in response to hypercapnia in the control state was abolished by vagotomy but preserved when only the nonmyelinated fibers were functioning during the differential block. This increased frequency response, attributable to decreases in both inspiratory and expiratory durations, was usually enhanced during the differential block, despite the slower deeper pattern of breathing attributed to loss of activity in myelinated fibers. The implications of this reflex increase in frequency in response to hypercapnia, mediated by nonmyelinated vagal endings in the lung, are discussed. 相似文献

Major depressive disorder is a common global disease that causes a significant societal burden. Most interventional studies of depression provide a limited assessment of the interventions on mortality and suicide risks. This study utilizes data from an observational registry of patients with major depressive disorder to determine the impact of intervention (vagus nerve stimulation or standard pharmacological/non-pharmacological therapy) and a latent factor, patient trajectory toward response, on mortality, suicide and suicidal ideation. A total of 636 patients were available for an intent-to-treat analysis of all-cause mortality, suicide and suicidal ideation. Patients treated with vagus nerve stimulation in addition to standard therapies experienced lower, but not statistically significant, all-cause mortality (vagus nerve stimulation 4.93 per 1,000 person-years vs. 10.02 per 1,000 patient years for treatment as usual) and suicide rates (vagus nerve stimulation 0.88 per 1,000 person-years vs. 1.61 per 1,000 patient years for treatment as usual). Treatment with vagus nerve stimulation produced a statistically lower relative risk of suicidal ideation 0.80, 95% confidence interval (0.68,0.95). Further, patients that responded to either treatment saw a 51% reduction in relative risk of suicidal behavior; relative risk and 95% confidence interval of 0.49 (0.41,0.58). In summary, we find that treatment with adjunctive vagus nerve stimulation can potentially lower the risk of all-cause mortality, suicide and suicide attempts. 相似文献

The present study evaluates the participation of the vagus nerve in pre-pubertal rats with unilateral ovariectomy on puberty
onset, and on progesterone, testosterone and estradiol serum levels, and the compensatory responses of the ovary. Unilateral
vagotomy did not modify the onset of puberty in unilaterally ovariectomized rats. Ovulation rates of animals with the left
vagus nerve sectioned and the left ovary in-situ was lower than in rats with only unilateral ovariectomy. Sectioning the left
vagus to 32-day old rats with the left ovary in-situ resulted in lower compensatory ovarian hypertrophy than in rats with
right unilateral ovariectomy. Twenty-eight or 32-day old animals with sectioning of the right vagus nerve and the right ovary
in situ showed higher compensatory ovulation. Twenty-eight -day old rats with the right ovary in situ had higher progesterone
and testosterone levels than animals of the same age with the left ovary in-situ. Compared to animals with the right ovary
in situ, animals treated at 32-days of age, sectioning the ipsi-lateral vagus nerve resulted in higher progesterone levels.
Higher progesterone levels were observed in 28- and 32 days old rats with the left ovary in situ and left vagus nerve sectioned.
Thirty-two day old animals with the right ovary in situ and right vagus nerve sectioned had higher progesterone levels than
rats of the same age with the left ovary in situ and left vagus nerve sectioned. Left vagotomy to 28-day old rats with the
left ovary in situ resulted in higher testosterone levels, a reverse response to that observed in animals with sectioning
of the right vagus and the right ovary in situ. Thirty-two day old rats with the left ovary in situ and left vagus nerve sectioned
showed lower testosterone levels than animals without vagotomy and with the left ovary in situ. 相似文献

Using multiple-site optical recording with the voltage-sensitive dye, NK2761, we found that vagus nerve stimulation in the
embryonic chick brainstem elicits postsynaptic responses in an undefined region on the contralateral side. The characteristics
of the contralateral optical signals suggested that they correspond to the monosynaptic response that is related to the vagal
afferent fibers. The location of the contralateral response was different from the vagal motor nucleus (the dorsal motor nucleus
of the vagus nerve) and sensory nucleus (the nucleus of the tractus solitarius), and other brainstem nuclei that receive primary
vagal projection. These results show that the vagus nerve innervates and makes functional synaptic connections in a previously
unreported region of the brainstem, and suggest that sensory information processing mediated by the vagus nerve is more complex
than expected. 相似文献

The functional modulation of lymphatic vessels may be closely associated with intact structures of the vagus nerve. In the present study, the vagotomy was done in Wistar rat to investigate the effect of vagus nerves on dynamic changes of mesenteric lymphatic vessels. After denervation, the mesenteric lymphatics showed significant decreases in contraction rate, diameter in the static state and overall contractile activity under a microscopic observation. The lymphatic contraction rhythm and valve movement became irregular and inconsistent. These findings indicated that the lymphatic innervation might be an important factor for active lymph formation and transportation. 相似文献

1 We have studied the unit activity of 88 pulmonary stretch receptors (RPI) in the vagus nerve of the cat by using the single fibre technique. 2 In spite of a 38% decrease in tidal volume, the discharge frequency of RPI is statistically unchanged during polypnea, However, RPI are recruited earlier, but their discharge overlaps expiration. 3 Individual influences of tidal volume, temperature, and FACO2 on RPI activities are tested. During polypnea, the excitatory influences of hyperthermia and hypocapnia act against the depressing action of tidal volume reduction: RPI are still active. 4 During polypnea, respiratory rhythm and tidal volume are unchanged after bivagotomy. RPI activity seems functionally insignificant. This result suggests that the thermally induced respiratory response is mediated by structures in the upper brain stem (probably the preoptic anterior hypothalamus) and is not dependent on the integrity of the vagus nerve. 相似文献

Accumulations of the neuropeptides substance P (SP), somatostatin (ST), and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) proximal to a crush in the cervical vagus nerve of the rat have been measured using sensitive radioimmunoassays. Each of the peptides was rapidly transport towards the peripheral terminals of vagal afferent fibres, with average rates of flow ranging from 0.8 to 2.7 mm h-1. In the rabbit vagus nerve, SP was transported with an average rate of 4 mm h-1, which is more than double the rate for this peptide in the rat. Double crush experiments in rabbit vagus nerves indicated that the rapidly transported proportion of the total content of SP in the nerve free was about 34%. From this, the rate of transport of SP in the rapidly transported pool in the rabbit vagus nerve can be calculated to be 12 mm h-1 (280 mm day-1). Since such double crush experiments were not possible in the rat, it is not clear whether the different average rates of transport of SP in the rat and the rabbit reflect real differences in the rate of rapid transport in the two species. In common with rapid axonal transport of other neurotransmitters, the transport of SP and ST in the rat vagus nerve was blocked by colchicine, a drug that disrupts microtubules. 相似文献

Neuropeptides as central integrators of autonomic nerve activity: effects of TRH, SRIF, VIP and bombesin on gastric and adrenal nerves 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The nerve activity of the gastric ramus of the splanchnic (sympathetic) nerve, gastric ramus of the vagus, adrenal ramus of the splanchnic nerve and the superior laryngeal nerve (laryngeal ramus of vagus) were assessed before and after i.c.v. injection of neuropeptides in the rat. TRH stimulated the vagal branch but attenuated the sympathetic outflow to the stomach. In contrast, the sympathetic outflow to the adrenal was enhanced by TRH. SRIF suppressed the activity of all the nerves studied. VIP did not affect the sympathetic outflow to the stomach while suppressing the gastric branch of the vagus. The adrenal sympathetic branch as well as the superior laryngeal nerve was stimulated by VIP. Bombesin suppressed both vagal and sympathetic outflow to the stomach but markedly stimulated the laryngeal branch of the vagus. The adrenal sympathetic nerve was either stimulated or attenuated slightly by bombesin. These results indicate that centrally administered neuropeptides produce reactions specific for each nerve. 相似文献
