Objective:In this experiment we used pain-related neurons of Hb unit discharges recording asa standard to observe the effects of prostaglandin E2 (i. p. ) on Hb unit discharges. Methods :The methodsof unit discharges recording and radiant heat induced tail flick responce were used. Results :The dischargesof pain-excited neurons increased after the addition of PGE2 (i. p. ). The discharges of pain-inhibited neu-rons dec reased after the addition of PGE2(i. p. );PGE2(i. p. ) caused the pain threshold to drop after sym-pathetic nerves were destroyed by 6-OHDA. There were no changes of the pain threshold in undestroyedgroup (P＞0.05). The percentage changes of Hb neurons dropped compared with that of undestroyedgroup (P＜0. 05). Conclusion: The PGE2 could change the discharges of pain-related neurons in Hb, inwhich the sympathetic system might participate in the process.
