目的:探讨应用肌电图行大鼠腰神经后根节段定位的方法。方法:通过电生理的方法,依次电刺激L3￣L5脊神经后根,分别记录大鼠双侧下肢主要肌肉的肌电图像,测量最早出现的感觉神经动作电位(SNAP)最大波幅值。结果:刺激L3脊神经后根,于股四头肌记录到的波幅峰值(480.8±255.9μV)显著高于其它各组肌肉(P<0.01)。刺激L4脊神经后根,于下肢四组肌肉记录到的CMAP最大波幅平均值均>100μV,其中在股四头肌(305.2±131.5μV)、胫骨前肌(340.2±310.4μV)记录到的波幅峰值显著高于在股二头肌(142.4±144.7μV)、腓肠肌(138.2±127.6μV)记录到的波幅峰值(P<0.01)。刺激L5脊神经后根,于股二头肌(377.5±264.4μV)、腓肠肌(168.4±126.7μV)记录到的波幅峰值显著高于其它各肌群记录到的波幅峰值(P<0.01)。结论:电刺激不同脊神经后根,在大鼠下肢不同肌肉记录到的SNAP的波幅峰值存在差异,综合分析记录到的SNAP的波幅峰值,可作为腰神经后根节段定位的参考。     

西酞普兰与氯丙咪嗪治疗颈椎间盘突出症术后抑郁焦虑症状的对照研究

目的比较西酞普兰与氯丙咪嗪治疗颈椎间盘突出症伴抑郁焦虑症状的疗效和不良反应。方法对200例颈椎间盘突出症伴抑郁焦虑症状患者分别以西酞普兰与氯丙咪嗪治疗,共治疗6周。采用汉密尔顿抑郁量表(HAMD)评定临床疗效,采用副反应量表(TESS)评定副反应。结果西酞普兰组有效率91%;氯丙咪嗪组有效率90%,2组疗效相当。但西酞普兰组起效时间平均(11.1±5.6)d,而氯丙咪嗪组平均(15.1±8.2)d,以西酞普兰组显著较快(P<0.01)。西酞普兰组不良反应发生率为13%,而氯丙咪嗪组发生率为50%,西酞普兰组不良反应发生率较低。结论西酞普兰治疗颈椎间盘突出症术后伴抑郁焦虑症状的疗效与氯丙咪嗪相当,副反应少,值得推广应用。     

聚乙烯醇水凝胶髓核的生物力学特性

目的 对一种新型水凝胶人工髓核的生物力学特性进行研究,为将来临床开展人工髓核置换手术提供科学依据。方法 采用7具新鲜标本的L_(4-5)脊柱功能单元进行生物力学实验,在轴向压缩、前屈后伸和左右侧弯等运动工况下,观察正常椎间盘、髓核摘除以及人工髓核植入3种状态下椎间盘高度、应变和位移的变化。结果 与正常椎间盘相比较,髓核摘除后椎间盘的高度和刚度降低,应变和位移加大(P<0.05)。而人工髓核植入后各项指标恢复正常(P>0.05)。结论 这种新型水凝胶人工髓核置换可纠正髓核摘除后的生物力学紊乱,有望进行临床应用。     

Fracture separation of the articular pillar of C5 following brass knuckles trauma

We report the case of a fracture separation of the articular pillar at the lower cervical spine. The trauma, following a brass knuckles, repeats almost in an experimental way the rotation and extension mechanism given in literature for the genesis of such injuries. From the admission in the orthopaedic service to the surgery, the development went in a characteristic way towards a rotatory displacement.

计算机体层成像多平面重建在评价椎间融合中的作用

目的 探讨计算机体层成像多平面重建(CTMPR)在评价椎间融合中的作用,寻找定量评价椎间融合的新方法.方法 13例行腰椎间融合的患者术后1周、3个月、6个月行CTMPR,行椎间融合器(Cage)内植骨CT值定量测量.结果 术后1周Cage内植骨CT值为(619.52±26.97)Hu,术后3个月为(628.69±42.60)Hu,术后6个月为(657.77±37.43)Hu.术后1周与术后3个月相比无显著性差异,与术后6个月相比有显著性差异.结论 CT值的测量在椎间融合的判断中具有高准确性.     

A comparative study of the anatomical,radiological and therapeutic features of the lumbar facet joints

Summary An anatomical study of the lumbar apophyseal joints was carried out to facilitate recognition of facet joint lesions, which we now examine routinely by percutaneous arthrography. Special attention was given to the configuration of the different compartments of the joint space and to its relationships with the contents of the intervertebral foramen. The abnormalities seen on lumbar facet joint arthrography are very varied; two major groups should be stressed: synovial fringe hypertrophy and pseudodiverticular synovial ectasia. The percutaneous approach to lumbar facet joint arthrography allows it to be used a therapeutic measure, with injection of anti-inflammatory drugs into the joint space, the beneficial effects of which were confirmed in our series. The precision, efficiency and cost-effectiveness of this outpatient technique justify and should encourage its more widespread application in the diagnosis and treatment of low back pain.     

仿生髓核组织工程材料支架对体外培养髓核细胞合成代谢的影响

Movement disorders after intervertebral disc surgery: Coincidence or causal relationship?

It is well known that brain injury or central traumatic lesions may result in the subsequent appearance of movement disorders such as dystonia or tremor. The concept that peripheral lesions to neural structures may be involved in the pathogenesis of movement disorders has been discussed controversely but has gained more widespread acceptance only recently. Here, we report on 6 patients who developed movement disorders after spinal disc surgery. The movement disorders became manifest with a delay of 1 day to 12 months after surgery. Of the six patients, 4 underwent cervical disc surgery, and 2 patients were operated on for lumbar disc herniation; 2 patients presented with paroxysmal kinesigenic segmental dystonia, 1 patient with focal dystonia, 2 with unilateral tremor, and 1 with bilateral tremor. The appearance of the movement disorder was associated with persistent dermatomal or segmental pain. In all patients, the anatomic distribution of the movement disorder was related to the nerve root or spinal segment of the corresponding disc level and the manifestation was in close temporal relation to the surgery. We conclude that spinal disc surgery may be another, thus far neglected, cause for movement disorders. The postoperative pain syndrome in all patients should be considered as an important factor of pathogenesis. Overall, movement disorders associated with disc surgery appear to be rare, yet they may cause significant discomfort to the affected individual.
