After the model of
experimental brain contusion was set up,the changes of GFAP,PCNA were studied by
immunohistochemistry SP method combined with image quantity analysis.After contusion,the
gray degrees and areas of GFAP-positive cells increased significantly at the 3rd hour,reached
the highest level in the 4th day and kept until the 7th day.PCNA-positive cells appeared in the
12th hour, simultaneously, their gray degrees tended to increase and positive areas tended to
decrease. It showed regular changes of GFAP,PCNA with various survival times, and these
changes were useful in the diagnosis of brain contusion especially in the period from the
second to 7th day after injury.The numbers of astrocytes increased and reached the highest
level in the 3rd day after contusion while the reactive proliferation of astrocytes is only a minor
phenomenon.
