摘要
目的探讨通过micro-CT扫描新西兰大白兔坐骨神经标本,利用三维可视化软件Mimics17.0重建兔坐骨神经内部显微三维结构。方法取6只成年新西兰大白兔坐骨神经组织标本分成A、B组(n=3),分别用1%、5%Lugol液对两组标本染色,于染色0.5、1.0、1.5、2.0、2.5、3.0、3.5 h时,行光镜及micro-CT观察两组标本的显像变化,将显像良好的micro-CT图像序列导入Mimics软件,采用三维重建工具重建兔坐骨神经神经显微三维结构。结果 A组标本在染色2.5 h、B组标本在染色1.5 h时,经光镜及micro-CT观察可获得较为清晰的显微三维结构图像。图像显示新西兰大白兔的坐骨神经主要分3组神经束,且各神经束立体行径相对固定,Mimics软件测量各神经束横截面积分别为(0.425±0.013)、(0.038±0.007)、(0.242±0.026)mm~2,生成的数字化三维模型可在任意横断面观察坐骨神经内部显微结构。结论应用micro-CT可清晰真实显示兔坐骨神经显微三维结构,为建立大样本量周围神经显微解剖学数据库提供了可靠方法。
Objective To realize the visualization of three-dimensional microstructure of rabbit sciatic nerve bundles by micro-CT and three-dimensional visualization software Mimics17.0. Methods The sciatic nerve tissues from 6 New Zealand rabbits were divided into 2 groups(n=3), and the sciatic nerve tissues were stained by 1%(group A) and 5%(group B) Lugol solution respectively. After staining for 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, and 3.5 hours, the imaging changes of specimens were observed by light microscope and micro-CT. The clear micro-CT images were exported to the Mimics software to complete the visualization of three-dimensional microstructure of rabbit sciatic nerve according to threedimensional reconstruction tool. Results The clear three-dimensional microstructure images could be observed in group A at 2.5 hours after staining and in group B at 1.5 hours after staining by light microscope and micro-CT. The sciatic nerve of New Zealand rabbits were divides into 3 bundles and each of them was relatively fixed. There was no obvious crossing or mergers between each bundle. The cross-sectional area of each bundle was(0.425±0.013),(0.038±0.007), and(0.242±0.026) mm~2 respectively. The digital model could clearly reflect the microstructure of the sciatic nerve at all cross sections. Conclusion The internal structure of New Zealand rabbits sciatic nerve can be clearly reflected by micro-CT scanning. It provides a reliable method for establishing a nerve microstructure database with large amount specimens.
