title: [Expression of c-myc protein on rats' brains after brain concussion].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the changes of expression of c-myc protein on rats' brains after brain concussion.
  
  
  METHODS
  sixty rats were randomly divided into brain concussion groups and control group. The expression of c-myc protein was microscopically observed by immunohistochemical method.
  
  
  RESULTS
  No expression of c-myc protein in control group were observed. However, positive expression of c-myc protein in some neurons was seen at 20 min after brain concussion, and reach to the peak at 8h after brain concussion and then decreased gradually.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  These findings suggest that the detection of c-myc protein could be an index of diagnosis of brain concussion.
