Abstract:
Objective To study the effect of intranasal(IN)delivery of nerve growth factor(NGF) on pyriform cortex of satin-poisoned rats.Methods Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with satin and atropine sulphate, pralidoxime to establish satin-poisoned rat model.Then NGF or saline was administered via the olfactory pathway.24 hours later, damaged and residual healthy neurons were estimated and quantified on pyriform cortex using hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining and neuronal nuclei antigen(NeuN) immunohistochemistry.Results A massive quantity of degenerating neurons were seen in the pyriform cortex of rats with intranasal saline.And compared to the normal rats, the number of neurons of rats with intranasal saline was significantly reduced by 39.44% [(404.75?25.17)/mm~2].But the number of neurons in rats with intranasal NGF [(651.94?36.02)/mm~2] didn't change significantly compared to the normal rats.Conclusion Intranasal delivery of NGF, reducing the degenerating neurons on pyriform cortex of satin-exposure rats, is a potential treatment for satin intoxication.
