Jpn., 76(6): , March, 2000 Unmyelinated Nerve Fibre Analysis of the Human Lesser Splanchnic Nerve By Kazumasa SUZUKI, Naoki SHIRAISHI, Noboru GOTO, Masataka SUZUKI and Naoko NONAKA Department of Anatomy, Showa University School of Medicine, 5-8, Hatanodai 1, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo , Japan -Received for Publication, August 12, Key Words: Splanchnic nerve, Unmyelinated nerve fibre, Axon, Morphometry, Autonomic nerve Summary: The aim of the present study is to analyse unmyelinated nerve fibres of the human lesser splanchnic nerve in relation to the ageing process. With the help of an image-analyser, we examined 30 human lesser splanchnic nerves. The analysis was conducted with the use of a new staining method that makes it possible to discriminate various structures of the nervous tissue. Our report provides for the first time information on the ageing process of the human lesser splanchnic nerve fibres. The results indicate that a decrease in transverse area and perimeter of unmyelinated axons is one of the important changes occurring in the human lesser splanchnic nerve during the ageing process. The autonomic nervous system affects the functions of all other systems and thus exerts great influence on human behaviour. It is not surprising, therefore, that clinical manifestations of any illness are influenced by the autonomic nervous system which also affects interactions of individuals with their surroundings1-6). As the nervous system is the most important one in the human body, changes with age in this particular system should be studied in detail. Up to now, several studies on the splanchnic nerve have been performed7'"). To our knowledge, however, few reports have been published on the age-related changes in the human lesser splanchnic nerve. It is our purpose in the present study to bring age-related changes to light through analysis of numbers, transverse areas and perimeter of unmyelinated axons of the human lesser splanchnic nerve. Material and Methods Small sections of the lesser splanchnic nerve situated near the diaphragm were removed from 30 human cadavers (20 males and 10 females) aged years (average age: 70 years). The causes of death had no direct or indirect connection with the central or peripheral nervous system, so the lesser splanchnic nerves were considered to be normal. 285 We employed the same methods as in our previous reports regarding the fixation, washing, dehydration, embedding, sectioning, staining and morphometry. For more details, see the reference section3,4,12-1 5). The systemic sampling method was employed for the measurement of axons. A sampling site at the centre of the lesser splanchnic nerve was selected. Highly enlarged images (1,600 times) of a square eyepiece grid were selected to count the myelinated axons and to measure their transverse area and perimeter: the area covered was x mm2. Results Numbers of unmyelinated axons We estimated the total number of unmyelinated axons in the human lesser splanchnic nerve as being between 10 and 68 (average 38) within the unit area of x mm2. The summarised data are listed in Table 1. The unmyelinated nerve fibres appeared as dark purple or black axons without surrounding blue-green myelin sheaths (Fig. 1). According to our data, the number of unmyelinated axons show a slight tendency to decrease with age (r 0.447, p < 0.01).
2 286 K. Suzuki et at Table 1. Morphometric summarized data of unmyelinated axons No: number, SD: standard deviation, *: 1.1m2, **: Transverse area of unmyelinated axons The transverse area of unmyelinated axons in the human lesser splanchnic nerve ranged from 0.63 to 2.08 (average 1.06) lam' (Table 1). A scatter diagram with regression line between the average transverse area and age was calculated. It reveals that the average area of unmyelinated axon in the transverse section decreased with age r = 0.399, p < 0.05), and so did the total transverse area (r = 0.679, p < 0.001, Fig. 2). Perimeter of unmyelinated axons The average perimeter of unmyelinated axons in the human lesser splanchnic nerve was tm (ranging from 2.17 to 4.21, Table 1). It, too, decreased with age (r = 0.381, p < 0.05). Furthermore, we also noticed a slight negative correlation between age and the total perimeter of unmyelinated axons (r = 0.628, p < 0.001, Fig. 3). Discussion It is known that the autonomic nervous system is the orchestrator for adaptive responses to stress from the emotional, environmental or sociological point of view. Although the human greater splanchnic nerves mainly supply the digestive viscera, the lesser splanchnic nerve is thought to affect the function of the suprarenal body and the kidney through the ramus renalis. Up to now, there have been comparatively few reports available on the morphometry of nerve fibres in the human lesser splanchnic nerveln, especially with regard to axons. The reason may be due to a lack of a discriminative staining method for nerve fibres and of modern methods for morphometric analysis. For example, various silver impregnation methods have been used for the staining of the nervous system, but they cannot be used for morphometric analyses, except for the calculation of numbers, because of the high shrinkage ratio they cause and the limited discrimination they offer. We employed a new staining method: the LPH staining method"). Results indicate that this method greatly facilitates morphometric studies on the peripheral nervous system thanks to the clear discrimination of structures: for example of axons (black or dark purple), myelin sheaths (blue-green), neuronal nucleoli (dark blue), other cell nuclei (colour similar to conventional hematoxylin stains), connective tissue (orangy pink), amyloid bodies and lipofuscin granules (light purple), etc. The method is particularly suitable for morphometric research on the nervous system because of its clear differentiation of structures and minimum shrinkage (less than 10% in length). The fixation method for morphometric analysis is one of the most important steps in the methodology. The usual formaldehyde fixation may cause a wide range of tissue shrinkage during histologic processing. In our study, we used a secondary fixation with chromic acid after formaldehyde fixation in order to obtain better staining results and to minimize tissue shrinkage's. The next point is the embedding method. For light microscopy, there are at present two main embedding methods: paraffin and celloidin. The marked shrinkage of tissue that occurs during processing is one of the disadvantages of using paraffin. The paraffin technique is therefore not suitable for morphometric analysis. It was replaced in the present study by the celloidin method after secondary fixation with chromic acid. As for the microscopic morphometry, a combination of a microscope, drawing tube, disitiser and computer has made this kind of research both easy and accurate, as is described in detail in the "Material and Methods" section in our previous reports1215). Otherwise, it would be very difficult or even impossible to measure the areas of irregular shapes with any degree of accuracy. Several studies about age-related changes in various nerves have been reported since the LPH staining method was introduced2' ). For example, Fujii et al. reported that the transverse area and circularity ratios of the axons in the facial nerve do not change with age, but the num- bers of axons are reduced with age (r 0.59)2). In an other article), they reported that the transverse axonal area of the cochlear nerve decreased with age (r = 0.87, p < 0.01), while the number and

The number of vestibular nerve fibres do not show any change with age. In Zhang et al."), 38 human spinal cords aged from 41 to 97 years were studied to count the myelinated axons and to measure the axonal transverse area of the posterior funiculus at C6 level. This research revealed that a decrease in size and number of axons was one of the important changes occuring with the ageing process in the human spinal posterior funiculus (number: r = 0.85, p < 0.001; area: r = 0.77, p < 0.001). Yanagisawa et al.") reported on the number of human deep peroneal nerve fibres in cadavers whose ages ranged from 41 to 89 years. The results indicate that a slenderisation and diminution of axons, and especially a disappearance of large axons, are the main features of the ageing process of the deep peroneal nerve (number: r = 0.82, p < 0.01; area: r = 0.75, p < 0.01). In the clinical field, Fujii et al.') suggested that presbyacusis might be due to a reduction of the axonal area of the cochlear nerve. Zhang et al.") found that an atrophy and a decrease in number of myelinated axons were the main manifestations of ageing occurring in the human spinal cord. However, the clinical appearance of the splanchnic nerve in relation to the ageing process still remains unknown and should be elucidated in future. The regression lines between age and the numbers of axons, in relation to the ageing process have been analysed and evaluated in several nerves: the facial nerve), the posterior funiculus of the spinal cord"), the deep peroneal nerve"), and the oculomotor nerve"). As a conclusion, it can be said that changes connected with the ageing process are more evident in motor nerve fibres than in sympathetic nerve fibres. In the present study, we found that the number of unmyelinated fibres in the lesser splanchnic nerve decreased with age, as well as the axonal areas and perimeters (total area: r = 0.399, p < 0.05; total perimeter: r = 0.679, p < 0.01). These results indicate that the greater vulnerability of the lesser splanchnic nerve which we have discovered may be related to ageing. From the view point of morphometric analysis, we can consider that there may be a correlation between ageing and the visceral hypofunction.
