摘要: Substance P and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) immunohistochemistry was applied to the medulla of neonatal infants who died sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). A quantitative analysis cells demonstrating immunoreactivity GFAP substance in 15 SIDS cases revealed increased reticular formation, dorsal vagal nucleus, solitary nucleus an increase spinal trigeminal as compared with that age-matched controls. immunopositivity suggests astrogliosis which implies a pathologic insult neurons area astrogliosis. The failure these sites show enhanced may indirectly indicate altered neurons. Further study prenatal events be importance clarifying pathogenesis SIDS.
