Neural control of inflammation by the greater splanchnic nerves
نویسندگان
چکیده
The brain influences immune function through a powerful neural reflex that suppresses the release of a key pro-inflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis factor α, after immune challenge. The efferent motor pathway of this reflex is in the splanchnic nerves, not the vagi. This reflex regulates inflammation but does not suppress fever.

The pattern of the thoracic splanchnic nerves as they pass through the diaphragm.
The formation and structure of the greater, lesser, and least thoracic splanchnic nerves is highly variable in their intrathoracic as well as their subdiaphragmatic portion. Splanchnicectomies for pain control of otherwise intractable upper abdominal pain and other surgical procedures are dependent on the detailed knowledge of the anatomy of these nerves and their variations. Many commonly used...
متن کاملVariations in the formation of thoracic splanchnic nerves
The thoracic splanchnic nerves and celiac ganglia play a major role in pain management of upper abdominal disorders, particularly chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer. The variable anatomy of the splanchnic nerves is becoming increasingly important in view of splanchnicectomy being used more often for relief of pain originating from the upper abdominal viscera. In the present study variat...

متن کاملAnatomy of thoracic splanchnic nerves for surgical resection.
Thoracic splanchnic nerves conduct pain sensation from the abdominal organs around the celiac ganglion. Splanchnicectomy is the procedure used mainly for the control of intractable visceral pain. Forty-six human posterior thoracic walls were dissected. The formation pattern, course, and incidence of communication of the thoracic splanchnic nerves were investigated. The greater splanchnic nerves...
متن کاملThoracic splanchnic nerves: implications for splanchnic denervation.
Splanchnic neurectomy is of value in the management of chronic abdominal pain. It is postulated that the inconsistent results of splanchnicectomies may be due to anatomical variations in the pattern of splanchnic nerves. The advent of minimally invasive and video-assisted surgery has rekindled interest in the frequency of variations of the splanchnic nerves. The aims of this study were to inves...
