Electrophysiological evaluation in 4 patients with diabetic pseudotabes

BACKGROUND: Researches on diabetic nervous system lesion are mainly focus on peripheral nerve and vegetative nerve, so there are few investigations on diabetic pseudotabes. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the electrophysiological examinations on the diagnosis of diabetic pseudotabes. DESIGN: Case study. SETTING: Department of Electrophysiology and Department of Neurology, Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Xiamen University. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 4 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, including 3 males and 1 female aged from 50 to 72 years, were selected from Department of Neurology, Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Xiamen University from March 2002 to February 2005. All accepted subjects met the modified diagnostic criteria of diabetes mellitus, which was set by American Diabetes Mellitus Association (ADA) in 1997. Otherwise, the subjects had typical symptoms and physical signs of spinal posterior funiculus damage. However, patients with spinal cord lesion which was caused by other factors were excluded. All accepted subjects provided the confirmed consent. METHODS: Nicolet NT electromyography (EMG)/evoked potential meter (made in the USA) was used to detect spinal cord conduction velocity (SCCV), somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) of lower limbs, motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV) and sensory nerve conduction velocity (SNCV) of extremities. Determining criteria: Measurements were performed based on the laboratory standards. SCCV, which was less than lower limit of normal value (T2–12: 40–55 m/s, T12–L4: 20–41 m/s, T2–L4: 36–45 m/s), was regarded as abnormal. SEP value of lower limbs: P40, P60 and PF, which were more than standard deviation of normal value (x(—)+2.5), were regarded as the abnormality. Normal value of P40, P60 and PF latencies (x(—)±s) in this study: P40, P60 and PF in males were (37.6±1.9) ms, (59.8±3.9) ms and (7.6±0.9) ms, respectively; meanwhile, those in females were (35.5±1.7) ms, (55.2±2.7) ms and (6.3±0.7) ms, respectively. MNCV and SNCV, which were less than 50 m/s in upper limbs and 40 m/s in lower limbs, were regarded as the abnormality. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Electrophysiological examinations. RESULTS: All 4 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were involved in the final analysis. ① SCCV: Among 4 patients, SCCV of three patients was decreased in T2–12, T12–L4 and T2–L4, and that of the other one was decreased in T2–12 and T2–L4; however, SCCV in T12–L4 was normal. There was significant difference as compared with normal value (P < 0.01). ② SEP of lower limbs: SEP values of lower limbs were abnormal in all 4 patients. Among them, P40, P60 and PF latencies of two patients were delayed; P40 of one patient was delayed and PF was not drained out; P40 and P60 of the last one were delayed and PF was normal. ③ MNCV and SNCV: The MNCV and SNCV were normal in one patient and abnormal in three patients. The results demonstrated that MNCV and SNCV of extremities decreased; especially, sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) of both lower extremities of one patient were not drained out. CONCLUSION: Detections of SCCV, SEP of lower limbs, MNCV and SNCV of extremities are helpful to investigate whether peripheral nerve and deep sensory passage are damaged or not and determine whether deep sensory damage is caused by peripheral nerve and spinal posterior funiculus.

日本血吸虫酚氧化酶的组化定位研究

目的观察酚氧化酶(phenol oxidase,PO)在日本血吸虫成虫的组织学分布.方法酚氧化酶组化方法:将42 d虫龄的日本血吸虫活成虫置含25 mmol/L邻苯二酚的磷酸盐缓冲液(pH 6.8)中,37℃孵育30 min后,转移虫体至载玻片上,吸去虫体表面液体,将其中一部分虫体置Olym-pus显微镜下观察酚氧化酶在虫体的组织学分布.荧光组织化学方法:经上述过程处理后,在另一部分虫体上滴加2滴含0.05%戊巴比妥钠的PBS溶液,然后置Leica荧光显微镜下观察酚氧化酶在虫体的组织学分布.结果酶组织化学方法显示,日本血吸虫酚氧化酶仅分布于雌虫卵黄腺及子宫内虫卵卵壳表面,呈现棕褐色显色反应;雌虫卵巢和雄虫均未发现酚氧化酶活性.然而,荧光组织化学方法显示,酚氧化酶除主要分布于雌虫卵黄腺及子宫内虫卵卵壳表面,呈现强荧光外,还少量分布于雄虫体壁表层,呈现弱荧光反应.结论不仅日本血吸虫雌虫含有酚氧化酶活性,而且雄虫也含酚氧化酶活性,只不过其含量少、活性低.荧光组织化学方法能更灵敏地显示日本血吸虫酚氧化酶活性,更适用于日本血吸虫酚氧化酶的组织学定位.
