用相关分析法研究家兔两类膈神经单位电活动差异的起源

家兔25只,乌拉坦静脉麻醉(1g/kg),三碘季铵酚制动,人工通气,切断双侧颈迷走神经干。分离双侧膈神经,右侧记录神经干放电;左侧分离细束,同时记录一对单位的放电。共记录到36对单位。神经电活动经放大后输入磁带记录仪,备作脱机处理;或将信号放大、限幅后输入计算机,作连机处理。单纤维根据其放电时程同神经干放电的关系分为时相性单位(PU)和紧张性单位(TU)。分别在TU同TU之间、PU同PU之间、PU同TU之间作相关分析。 在总共36对膈运动神经单位对中,有21对的互相关直方图上出现有显著意义的中心峰,表明它们之间存在着同步化活动,是接受共同的中枢传入所致。其中8对为2PU,,11对为2TU,2对为1PU和1TU。同步化活动的类型有短时程同步化、宽峰同步化和高频振荡同步化三种。在同类单位对(2PU或2TU)与不同类单位对(1PU和1TU)出现同步化的频数之间作x~2检验,结果表明同类单位对中出现同步化的比例显著高于不同类的单位对。 据此,我们认为膈运动神经元紧张性单位和时相性单位放电特性的不同可能是由于它们接受不同的中枢支配所致。

STUDIES ON THE ORIGIN OF DIFFERENT DISCHARGH PATTERN OF THE TWO TYPES OF PHRENIC MOTONEURONES BY CROSS-CORRELATION ANALYSIS

Experiments were performed on twenty five anesthetized, paralyzed, vagotomized and artificially ventilated rabbits. Discharges of single phrenic nerve fibers were recorded. According to their discharge patterns, phrenic motoneurones were divided into two types: tonic units (TU) and phasic units (PU). A crosscorrelation analysis was done between TU and TU, PU and PU, or TU and PU.In 21/36 pairs of phrenic motoneurones, the cross-correlation histogram showed a significant central peak, which represented synchronization of the pair of units resulting from a common input. There were three types of synchronization: shortterm, broad peak and high frequency-oscillatory synchronization. The difference in synchronization number between heterogeneous pairs (1 TU and 1PU, 2/10 showing synchronization) and homogeneous pairs (2 TU or 2 PU, 19/26 showing synchronization) was statistically significant (x~2-test, P<0.05). These results suggest that TU and PU have different central inputs, which result in their different discharge patterns between the TU and PU.
