The development of the human facial canal and the facial nerve of 229 temporal sides from 11 weeks fetuses to infancies were studied by histological method. The results showed that the facial canal was formed by the membranous ossification and by cartilaginous ossification. The lateral wall, inferior wall of the horizontal segment and the eminous segment, the superior wall of the labyrinthine segment of the facial canal were formed by the membranous ossification. The sequence of the membranous ossification had some regularities. The rest of the facial canal was ossified in the cartilaginous bone. The development of the facial nerve grew in advanced embrylogical age. The length and width diameters of the facial nerve in the facial canal were almost the largest in size before birth. The size of the facial nerve to that of the facial canal is kept in a more or less constant proportion. It was found that the facial norve was largest at the distal portion of the labyrinthine segment of the facial canal and smallest at the stylomastoid foramen.We put forward the conclusion that the disturbances of the membranous ossification in any portion of the facial canal and the anomalies of the pneumatization of the mastoid process were the main causes for the deficiency of the facial canal.

BACKGROUND:Stem cel transplantation is a new method for blinding eye disease. But there is a lack of research about the protective effect of retinal stem cel transplantation on retinal ganglion cel s in glaucoma. OBJECTIVE:To explore the protective effect of retinal stem cel transplantation on retinal ganglion cel s of rats with glaucoma. METHODS:Forty-five Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups (n=15 per group) including control, model and retinal stem cel transplantation groups. Rat models of glaucoma were prepared in the latter two groups, and at 7 days after modeling, rats in the three groups were given intravitreal injection of 1 mL retinal stem cel s (5x106 cel s), the same amount of PBS, and no treatment, respectively. Subsequently, relative indicators were detected at 2 weeks after transplantation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The expressions of brain-derived neurotrophic factor and insulin-like growth factor I protein as wel as the number of retinal ganglion cel s were the highest in the control group, fol owed by the retinal stem cel transplantation group model group, and the lowest in the model group (P<0.05). The number of apoptotic retinal ganglion cel s in model group was significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.05), and which in the retinal stem cel transplantation group was significantly lower than that in the model group (P<0.05), but higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). These results suggest that retinal stem cel transplantation for rat glaucoma can exert a protective effect on retinal ganglion cel s.
