A two-site enzyme immunoassay was used to determine the nerve growth factor (NGF) contents of sympathetic ganglia and their corresponding target tissues in adult rats. The destruction of sympathetic nerve terminals by 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) and the blockade of axonal transport by colchicine resulted in a rapid increase in the NGF levels of sympathetically innervated organs and a rapid decre...

Lectin binding histochemistry was performed on the developing sympathetic ganglionic cells to investigate the distribution and density of defined carbohydrate terminals on the cell surface glycoproteins during autonomic system morphogenesis. Sprague-Dauley rat embryos from 9th gestational day to birth were fixed and paraffinized. Serial sections of these specimens were incubated with different ...

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com Pelvic and perineal pain are common in patients with malignancy of pelvic organs. Neoplastic invasion of neural tissues and infiltration of organs and sphinters results in severe pain whose treatment requires high doses of medications and often results in unsatisfactory pain relief [1]. Ganglion impar neurolysis is a well documented technique to red...
