| 摘 要： | The remodeling process of synapses and neurotransmitter receptors of facial nucleus were observed. Models were set up by facial-facial anastomosis in rat. At post-surgery day （PSD） 0,7,21and 60, synaptophysin （p38）, NMDA receptor subunit 2A and AMPA receptor subunit 2 （GluR2） were observed by immunohistochemical method and semi-quantitative RT-PCR, respectively. Mean-while, the synaptic structure of the facial motorneurons was observed under a transmission electron microscope （TEM）. The intensity of p38 immunoreactivity was decreased, reaching the lowest value at PSD day 7, and then increased slightly at PSD 21. Ultrastructurally, the number of synapses in nucleus of the operational side decreased, which was consistent with the change in P38 immunoreactivity. NMDAR2A mRNA was down-regulated significantly in facial nucleus after the operation （P〈0.05）, whereas AMPAR2 mRNA levels remained unchanged （P〉0.05）. The synapses innervation and the expression of NMDAR2A and AMPAR2 mRNA in facial nucleus might be modified to suit for the new motor tasks following facial-facial anastomosis, and influenced facial nerve regeneration and recovery.
