초록

통각정보나 과탄산증이 내재진통계를 활성화 시켜서 진통효과를 가져온다는 것은 잘 알려져 있다. 이 러한 일련의 과정에서 중추신경세포의-역활에 대한 체계적인 연구가 요구되는 바, 16마리의 성숙한 고 양이를 u-chloralose로 마취한 후 연수 및 좌골신경을 노출시켜, 상부연수의 복외측부(rostral ventrolateral medulla, 이후 RVLM으로 칭함)세포활동이 탄산가스분압의 변동에 어떠한 영향을 받는 지를 관찰하였다. RVLM에서 세포의 기록법으로 그 변화를 관찰한 바, 총 53개의 세포에서 자발적 인 활동을 보였고, 이 중 28개는 심맥관계 세포, 16개는 호흡관련 세포, 2개는 심맥관계-호흡 동시 관련 세포이었으며, 7개는 자발적 활동은 보이나 심 장주기나 호흡주기와 무관 하였다. 28개의 심맥관계 세포중 11개에서는 동맥혈내 탄산가스분압이 상승하였을때 세포 활동이 증가하고, 13개 세포에서는 반대로 감소하였으며, 나머지 4개 에서는 특별한 변화가 없었다. 16개의 호흡관련 세포중 9개에서는 동맥혈내 탄산가스분압이 상승하였을때 활동이 증가하고, 6개에 서는 감소하였으며 1개는 특별한 변화가 없었다 B개의 심맥관계-호흡관련 세포에서는 탄산\ulcorner스 분압의 상승에 큰 영향을 받지 않았다. 심 장 혹은 호흡주기와 무관하였던 7개의 세포중 4개는 동맥 혈 탄산가스 분압이 상승하였을때 세포 활 동이 감소하였고, 2개는 상승하였으며 1개는 큰 영향을 받지 않았다 말초신경 자극과 동시에 탄산가스분압을상승시켰을 때 심먹관계 세포의 A반응은큰 영향이 없었으 나 C반응은 상승하였다. 결론적으로 RVLM에는 동맥혈 탄산가스 분압이 상승하였을 때 활동이 증가하는 세포들이 존재하고, 이때 말초화학 감수기의 영 향보다는 탄산가스가 중추에 직접 작용할 가능성이 크며 과탄산증에 의한 내 재진통작용도 RVLM을 통하지는 않는다고 생각된다.

Endogenous analgesic systems are known to be activated by peripheral noxious stimulation as well as arterial carbon dioxide elevation. In the present study, neuronal Activities in the rostral ventrolateral med- ulla were identified and classified in according to their rhythmic activities, and their responses to noxious peripheral nerve stimulations before and after elevating the arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure were investigated Using extracellular recording technic, a total of 53 spontaneously active neurons were recorded from the rostral ventrolateral medulla in u-chloralose anesthetized cats. These were classified as cardiovascular (28), respiratory (16), both cardiovascular and respiratory (2) and noncardiovascular - nonrespiratory (7). - Among the 28 cardiovascular neurons eleven showed increased activities during arterial hypercapnia, thirteen showed decreased responses, and four showed no change. Nine respiratory neurons showed increased responses to arterial hypercapnia, six showed decreased responses and one showed no change. neither of the cardiovascular and respiratory neurons showed significant change in its activity during ar- terial hypercapnia, however, four of the noncardiovascular - nonrespiratory neurons exhibited decreased their activities in response to arterial hypercapnia while two exhibited increased activities. Arterial hypercapnia increased the responses of cardiovascular neurons to peripheral nerve stimulation with C-inteniity, while not changing the responses to Ak_stimulation significantly . From the above results it was conclllded that during arterial hypercapnia, some cardiovascular neurons and respiratory neurons have increased activities as well as increased reponses to C-Hber stimulation.
