经皮椎体成形术与椎弓根螺钉固定治疗骨质疏松性胸腰椎骨折的生物力学研究

目的比较经皮椎体成形术(PVP)和椎弓根螺钉内固定(PSF)治疗骨质疏松性胸腰椎骨折的生物力学强度,为临床应用和离床活动指导提供实验依据。方法18具冻存的新鲜尸体,应用双能X线骨密度仪(DEXA)测定脊柱的骨密度(BND),取胸腰段脊椎(T_(12)～L_2 12具,L_1 6具)随机分成三组：PVP组、PSF组(T_(12)L_2)和正常对照组(L_1),每组6具。PVP组和PFS组实验椎体均制成骨折模型,PVP组给予经双侧椎弓根注入低粘度的含显影剂骨水泥各2．5mL。PSF组于T_(12)、L_2椎弓根置入钉棒系统固定,测试并比较两组和对照组静态最大抗压强度及刚度。结果PVP组骨水泥分布面积皆大于50%,其平均最大抗压强度与刚度分别为(2645±478)N,(117±81)N/mm；PSF组平均最大抗压强度与刚度分别为(1862±620)N,(125±33)N/mm。两组比较平均最大抗压强度差异有显著性意义(P＜0．05),最大刚度差异无显著性意义(P＞0．05)。结论骨折椎体内注入骨水泥PMMA,其抗压强度优于椎弓根钉方法,对于轻度骨质疏松者尤为适用。PVP术后患者可早期(3～5d)下床活动,而PSF术后患者离床活动时间可适当延后。

Suppression of alcohol and saccharin preference in rats by a novel Ca2+ channel inhibitor,Goe 5438

The effect of the novel 1,4-dihydronaphthyridine Ca²⁺ channel inhibitor Goe 5438 (CI-951) on voluntary ethanol consumption was examined in selectively bred alcohol-preferring (P) rats in a free choice two bottle preference test versus water. Intraperitoneally injected Goe 5438 dose-dependently (5, 10 or 20 µmol/kg, twice daily) inhibited ethanol and increased water intake over the 24 h period (injection day). The drug decreased ethanol preference, originally above 90%, by 6%, 19% and 45% at respective doses, on the injection day. That inhibitory effect of the highest dose of Goe 5438 on ethanol preference remained significant also on days 2 and 3 after injections (–51% and –18%, respectively). Goe 5438, in the highest dose, also tended to decrease granulated chow consumption during the injection day only. To further test whether the inhibition of ethanol preference is secondary to decrease in reinforcing properties of ethanol and not due to interference with satiety mechanisms, we compared the effect of two higher doses (10 and 20 µmol/kg, intraperitoneally, twice daily) of Goe 5438 on spontaneous preference for a non-caloric 0.04% saccharin solution in Sprague-Dawley rats. We observed a dose-dependent suppression of preference (by 44% and 58%, respectively) during the injection day, but not the subsequent 24 h period. However, Goe 5438 also significantly alleviated food pellet intake on the injection day. In conclusion, Goe 5438 produces potent and long-lasting inhibition of voluntary ethanol consumption, which may be secondary to attenuation of reinforcing properties of ethanol. Additionally, this particular Ca²⁺ channel inhibitor appears to have mild anorectic properties which may be conducive to acute suppression of alcohol intake.     

Sodium channels accumulate at the tips of injured axons

The axolemmal distribution of voltage-gated sodium channels largely determines the regions of axonal electrical excitability. Using a wellcharacterized anti–sodium channel antibody, we examined peripheral nerve fibers focally injured by exposure to the neurotoxic agent, potassium tellurite (K₂TeO₃). Immunocytochemical and radioimmunoassay data showed a focal accumulation of sodium channels within the tips of injured axons. The major increase in sodium channel concentration occurred between 7 and 11 days after toxin exposure; however, immunocytochemically, excess sodium channels persisted in several axonal endings for a much longer time. The accumulation of sodium channels at injured axonal tips may be responsible, in part, for ectopic axonal excitability and the resulting abnormal sensory phenomena (especially pain and paresthesias) which frequently complicate peripheral nerve injury in humans. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

目的：评价徒手置入胸椎椎弓根螺钉的安全性并探讨其置钉方法.方法：372例患者采用徒手方法置入胸椎椎弓根螺钉,记录置入操作中和术后并发症,其中37例患者术后行CT断层扫描检查判断螺钉的位置,记录所有穿透骨皮质螺钉的数目和距离.结果：共徒手置入胸椎椎弓根螺钉2261枚,平均每例患者置入螺钉6.08枚,术中6例次置钉过程中出现脑脊液从钉道中流出,术中和术后未出现神经、血管和内脏损伤等并发症.37例患者术后行CT扫描判断螺钉位置,405枚螺钉中124枚（30.62%）穿透骨皮质,1枚（0.02%）穿透椎弓根内侧壁超过4mm.结论：徒手置入胸椎椎弓根螺钉穿透骨皮质的发生率较高,应该根据每个椎体旋转、倾斜等差异个体化确定置钉位置和方向,操作仔细认真,保证准确、安全、可靠地置入胸椎椎弓根螺钉.     

钙池操纵的Ca2+通道的激活机制研究进展

钙池操纵的Ca~(2 )通道(store-operated Ca~(2 ) channels,SOC)是非兴奋细胞Ca~(2 )内流的主要通道之一,参与多种病理和生理过程,在钙信号通路的研究中,SOC的激活机制一直是人们关注的焦点之一,迄今为止,钙内流因子模型(Ca~(2 ) innux factor model,CIF model)和构象耦联模型fconformational coupling model)受到广泛关注.部分学者已经从很多不同类型的细胞中提取出CIF,并证实钙非依赖性的磷脂酶A_2(Ca~(2 )-independent phospholipase A_2,iPLA_2)作为CIF的底物,在某些类型细胞的SOC激活过程中发挥重要作用,并进一步提出了ER- CIF-iPLA_2-CaM-LysoPLs-SOC通路模型.瞬时受体电位(transient receptor potential,TRP)通道蛋白与1.4,5-磷酸肌醇受体(inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate receptor,IP_3R)的结构连接作为构象耦联模型的基础已被广泛证实,随着对IP_3R,Ryanodine受体、肌动蛋白等在钙信号通路中所发挥作用的深入研究,构象耦联模型将得到不断补充和完善.SOC激活机制的破解,将对进一步完善非兴奋细胞的钙通道特性及其调节机制理论带来重大突破.

目的探讨ATP敏感型钾离子通道的活性状态对鞘内注射腺苷类似物R-phenylisopropyladenosine(R-PIA)抗伤害性作用的影响.方法雄性SD大鼠在苯巴比妥钠麻醉下,蛛网膜下腔留置PE-10导管,测定注药后鼠尾对光热刺激的反应(抗伤害作用).结果蛛网膜下腔注射R-PIA产生剂量依赖性的甩尾时间曲线上移(P＜0.05).蛛网膜下腔注药后10min起效,镇痛时间长达60min.ATP敏感型通道开放剂nicorandil和阻滞剂glibenclamide单独蛛网膜下腔应用无镇痛作用(P＞0.05),但nicorandil明显增强R-PIA的抗伤害性作用,相反glibenclamide明显减弱R-PIA的抗伤害性作用(P＜0.05).结论蛛网膜下腔注射R-PIA可产生明显的剂量依赖性抗伤害作用,此作用受ATP敏感型钾离子通道活性调节.     

Fatal encephalitis in a patient with refractory celiac disease presenting with myorhythmia and carpal spasm.

We report the case of a woman with refractory celiac disease who developed abnormal spontaneous movements of the extremities and face consistent with myorhythmia. Investigation led to a diagnosis of encephalitis, confirmed by postmortem examination. The movements were likely caused by nonparaneoplastic encephalitis associated with refractory celiac disease. Etiologic and diagnostic considerations and treatment options are discussed.
