Objective:To dynamically observe the pathological changes of the optic nerve in EAE.Methods:The animal model was established in Wistar rat.The experiment rats were randomly divided into 8
12
18
and 30day groups.The changes of optic nerve were observed using light and electron microscopes.Results:Under light microscope
the optic nerve fibers showed bulb-like degeneration
the axis irregularity swelling
phlegmonosis cell infiltrating
a quantity of glial cell and collagen tissue formed hyperplastic tissue.Under electron microscopy
the axons showed bulb-like degeneration
myelin sheaths were loose
microtubule and microfilament disappeared.Conclusion:Demyelination occurs in the optic nerve of EAE.By establishing the EAE animail model
we can see the pathological changes of the optic nerve in EAE
which can provide evidences for clinical threatment of this disease.
The suppessive effects of catalase and methylprednisolone sodium succinate on experimental demyelinating optic neuritis
Demyelination in the hippocampus and its correlation with altered behaviors of the cuprizone-induced mouse model of schizophrenia
