切断大白鼠的颈部脊髓,可以保护该鼠免罹四氯化碳所造成的急性肝坏死。由于接受此种手术的大白鼠有极其显著的体温下降,从而使人联想到降低体温可能为保护肝脏免遭损伤的真正机制。本文在从事切断颈部脊髓对四氯化碳性肝损伤的影响观察以后,又观察了人工冬眠对这种肝损伤的发生情况,并与切断颈部脊髓的动物相比较。实验方法1.以重250克左右的大白鼠进行实验, Severing the rat’s cervical spinal cord can protect the rat from acute liver necrosis caused by carbon tetrachloride. As the rats undergoing this type of surgery have a markedly decreased body temperature, they are reminded of the fact that reducing body temperature may be the true mechanism for protecting the liver from damage. After observing the effect of severing the cervical spinal cord on carbon tetrachloride-induced liver injury, this article also observed the incidence of artificial liver hibernation on this type of liver injury, and compared it with animals that had severed the cervical spinal cord. Experimental method 1. The experiment was performed on rats weighing about 250 grams.
