腰骶脊髓损伤患者肛管直肠功能障碍的研究

目的研究腰骶脊髓损伤患者肛管直肠功能状况。方法以115例腰骶脊髓损伤患者为脊髓损伤组,以22例尿道下裂和血尿患者为对照组,检测两组的肛管直肠功能。结果脊髓损伤组最大肛管收缩压为(56.7±31.1)mmHg(1mmHg=0.133kPa),对照组为(87.2±29.2)mmHg,两组比较,差异有统计学意义(P<0.01);在行咳嗽动作时,脊髓损伤组31例(27.0%)肛管压力瞬时升高,但之后出现大幅度、持续性下降;在行模拟排便动作时,97例(84.3%)表现为盆底功能紊乱型肛管直肠压力曲线。直肠肛管抑制反射在所有受检者均存在,脊髓损伤组诱发持续性直肠肛管抑制反射所需直肠气囊容量和直肠感觉阈值分别为(134.8±48.5)ml和(95.9±54.3)ml,对照组分别为(55.9±17.9)ml和(42.3±13.1)ml,两组比较,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.01)。结论多数腰骶脊髓损伤患者不能自主收缩肛门外括约肌,直肠感觉功能受到严重损害;部分腰骶脊髓损伤患者咳嗽肛管反射通路可能受到损害;直肠肛管抑制反射可能受到中枢神经系统的调控。     

脊髓损伤大鼠的阴茎海绵体肌电图研究

目的探讨海绵体肌电图诊断脊髓性勃起功能障碍的价值。方法将24只成年雄性SD大鼠(300～400 g)分成:对照组、T9和L6损伤组(每组8只)。损伤脊髓1周后,用肌电图仪采集注射阿朴吗啡前后阴茎肌电数据,采集频率20～3 000 Hz、扫描速度5 ms／d、灵敏度10 μV／d。用t检验方法分析统计数据。结果对照组使用阿朴吗啡10 min均方根振幅为(5．60±0．89)μV, 大于T9损伤组(3．60±1．14)μV(P<0．05);使用阿朴吗啡前、使用后5 min和10 min高／低功率比均为0．05±0．03,小于L6损伤组0．13±0．04、0．15±0．07、0．13±0．07(P<0．05)。T9损伤组使用阿朴吗啡后5 min和10 min平均频率分别为(122．40±47．99)、(151．80±76．42)Hz,较L6损伤组(278．83±118．66)、(265．00±81．35)Hz低(P<0．05)。结论海绵体肌电图对脊髓性勃起功能障碍有诊断价值。     

睾丸扭转和精索扭转的诊断与治疗(附68例报告)

目的:探讨睾丸和精索扭转的诊断与治疗方法,提高睾丸和精索扭转的治疗水平。方法:对68例睾丸和精索扭转的临床资料进行总结,68例平均年龄21岁,<20岁者占84%,左侧55例占80.8%.发病至确诊时间6h～30天,12h以上者占90.2%。结果:53例术前彩色多普勒血流动态显象(CDFI)应作为诊断疾病的常见与首选检查方法。诊断并经手术证实,符合率100%,经手术探查;41例行手术复位、固定,睾丸获救。27例行患侧睾丸切除术,所有病例均行对侧探察,固定。结论:阴囊X核素显象,B超对睾丸精索扭转早期诊断有帮助。早期诊断,及时治疗是提高疗效的关键。彩色多普勒血流动态显象应作为诊断该疾病的常见及首选检查方法,对睾丸精索一旦确诊或疑有精索扭转的患者应及早行紧急复位,以期挽救睾丸,同时行睾丸固定术也十分必要。对于确诊毫无保留价值的睾丸需行切除术。     

神经病理性疼痛大鼠脊髓磷酸化CREB表达的研究

目的研究坐骨神经慢性挤压伤(chronicconstrictioninjury,CCI)后不同时点大鼠脊髓磷酸化cAMP反应成分结合蛋白(p-CREB)含量的变化。方法32只160~180g雄性SD大鼠中,8只为正常对照,其余24只做成CCI模型。用VonFrey细丝测定大鼠后爪触诱发痛的变化,并于术后7、14和30d处死(n=8),取L4~L6脊髓用以免疫印迹(Westernblot)方法测定p-CREB的表达量。结果CCI大鼠结扎侧在术后7、14d出现明显的机械感觉异常(P<0·01),30d后基本消失。与正常大鼠相比,CCI大鼠p-CREB含量在术后7、14d均出现明显升高(P<0·01),术后30d恢复到正常水平。结论CCI大鼠疼痛模型中脊髓p-CREB含量明显增高,并且随疼痛症状消失恢复到正常水平。提示脊髓p-CREB在慢性神经性疼痛中发病机制中有一定的作用。     

Poly-lactic acid and agarose gelatin play an active role in the recovery of spinal cord injury

Objective To investigate the role of poly-lactic acid and agarose gelatin in promoting the functional recovery of the injured spinal cord. Methods Poly-lactic acid ( PLA) or agarose was embedded in the space between two stumps of the hemisectioned spinal cord. Immunohistochemistry was used to show astroglia proliferation and the infiltration of RhoA-positive cells. Locomotor activity recovery was evaluated by testing the function of hindlimbs. Results Astrogli-as and RhoA labeled non-neuronal cells accumulated in the area adjacent to the implant, while the number of RhoA-positive cells was decreased dramatically in the absence of implant. Animals implanted with agarose gelatin recovered more quickly than those with PLA, concomitant with a higher survival rate of the neurons. Conclusion Both PLA and agarose gelatin benefited the recovery of spinal cord after injury by providing a scaffold for astroglia processes. Modulation of the rigidity, pore size and inner structure of PLA and agarose gelatin might make these biodegradable materials more effective in the regeneration of the central nervous system (CNS).     

Late results of laterofixation in the treatment of bilateral abductor paralysis of the vocal cords: a clinical study with long-term follow-up

Thirty-four patients with bilateral vocal cord abductor paralysis were treated surgically during the period from 1960 to 1979. The main cause of paralysis was thyroid surgery (85%). Woodman's external laterofixation was performed in 31 patients, 1 had laterofixation by laryngofissure and 2 had endoscopic arytenoidectomy. In Woodman's procedure the body of the arytenoid cartilage was removed in 10 cases and mobilized from the cricoarytenoid joint in 21 cases. Thirteen of the 34 patients needed further surgery. Including previously performed procedures in 6 patients, altogether 68 operations were performed and 17 patients (50%) were operated on more than once. The immediate failure rate of laterofixation was 22% but the need for reoperation increased with time and the total failure rate of the method was 44%. Endoscopic arytenoidectomy was successful in 1 of 2 cases as a primary operation and in 3 of 3 cases as secondary operation. Follow-up time ranged from 2 months to 29 years 8 months (mean 15 years 10 months).     

Spinal epidural hematoma. Report of a case and review of the literature

We report the case of a thoracic epidural hematoma at the T7-T9 level which occurred after placement of spinal epidural catheter for continuous anaesthesia in acute pancreatitis. The male patient felt a sudden back pain after six days of successful analgesia and became paraplegic 24 hours afterwards. An emergency laminectomy and removal of the hematoma were performed; however, the patient recovered only incompletely.We discuss the clinical signs and symptoms of spinal epidural hematoma as well as its diagnostics and therapy. The controversial views from the literature concernings its etiology are critically reviewed.     

Dorsal and ventral dopaminergic innervation of the spinal cord: Functional implications

Several studies have demonstrated that a descending dopaminergic pathway innervates the dorsal and the intermediate gray matter of the spinal cord and have suggested that this pathway is involved in pain modulation and in the control of autonomie functions. Other studies have also demonstrated the presence of dopamine (DA) and DA metabolites as well as of DA receptors in the ventral cord. There is also evidence for the implication of DA in the control of motor functions at the spinal level. The occurrence of a dopaminergic innervation in the ventral horn has been, however, disputed until recently. But recent work has demonstrated that the motoneural cell groups in the ventral horn (lamina IX) are a target for descending dopaminergic fibers. In addition, the possibility that DA is a mediator of primary afferent fibers has also been postulated. Finally, the occurrence of dopaminergic cell bodies has been suggested in the spinal cord. This indicates that DA is probably implicated in a complex manner in spinal functions. In the present paper the possible involvement of DA in sensory and in motor functions at spinal level will be discussed in view of neurochemical observations made in polyarthritic rats, in which pain-related behavior and reduction of locomotor activity associated with a marked decrease in mobility, are observed.
