A Histopathological Study on Experimental Pin-firing in the Horse

概要

In order to clarify the histological reactions to pin-firing, this procedure was applied experimentally to four horses, which were subjected to a histopathological investigation as focus with the skin. The course of inflammation in these horses was divided into three stages, (1) The next day of application (exudation stage), (2) 3 to 11 days after application (cell migration stage), and (3) 14 to 21 days after application (repairing stage). In stages 2 and 3, the eosinophil and mastcell infiltration in the vicinity of arterioles and capillaries within the granulation tissue deserved particular attention since it seemed to indicate a local immunological reaction. Moreover, the swelling degeneration and the loss of axons in small nerve bundles were assumed to indicate that the function of pin-firing might consist in blocking nerves.
