Idiopathic Spinal Cord Herniation as a Treatable Cause of Progressive Brown-Sequard Syndrome

Idiopathic spinal cord herniation is a rare spinal cord disorder caused by spinal cord prolapse through a adural defect. It is a curable disease, so early detection is of particular importance. We report a 38-year-old woman with Brown-Sequard syndrome which was caused by the thoracic spinal cord herniation. Her weakness was almost completely resolved after surgical management, which emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and surgical management in this rare disease entity.     

瑞芬太尼对老年患者麻醉诱导时血流动力学的影响

［摘要］目的观察瑞芬太尼全麻诱导对老年患者血流动力学的影响。方法60例ASAⅠ～Ⅱ级老年患者随机分成3组，F组、R1组和R2组，每组20例。F组静脉诱导用药：咪达唑仑0.05 mg·kg-1，芬太尼3 μg·kg-1，丙泊酚1 mg·kg-1，待入睡后注入维库溴铵0.1 mg·kg-1气管插管；R1组用瑞芬太尼1 μg·kg-1代替芬太尼；R2组用瑞芬太尼1.5 μg·kg-1代替芬太尼。观察诱导时血压、心率的变化，同时记录使用阿托品和麻黄碱情况。结果R2组最低血压（MAP1 ）、最高血压（MAP2）明显低于其他两组(P＜0.05＝； R2组 最低心率（HR1）、最高心率（HR2）明显低于F组(P＜0.05＝。结论瑞芬太尼可以用于老年患者的全麻诱导，但在诱导时要密切注意血流动力学变化。     

Effect of the free radical scavenger MCI-186 on spinal cord reperfusion after transient ischemia in the rabbit

Objective: Paraplegia remains a serious complication of aortic operations. The production of free radicals during reperfusion after transient ischemia is believed to induce secondary spinal neuronal injury, resulting in paraplegia. The aim of the present study was to clarify the protective effect and method of administration of antioxidants on the neurological and histological outcome in the animal model for reperfusion injury after transient spinal cord ischemia. Methods: New Zealand white rabbits underwent surgical exposure of the abdominal aorta that was clamped for 15 minutes to achieve spinal cord ischemia. Group A animals received two 10 mg/kg doses of 3-methyl-l-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one (MCI-186) at the time of release of the aortic clamp and 30 minutes later. In group B, MCI-186, 5 mg/kg, was given three times, at the time of aorta clamp release, 30 minutes and 12 hours later. In group C (control group), one dose of vehicle was administered. Neurological status was assessed using modified Tarlov’s score until 168 hours after operation. Spinal cord sections were examined microscopically to determine the extent of ischemic neuronal damage. Results: Groups A and B animals had better neurological function than group C (p(0.001). In contrast, group C animals exhibited paraplegia or paraparesis with marked neuronal necrosis. The number of surviving neurons within examined sections of the spinal cord was significantly greater in group B than in group C (p(0.001). Conclusion: In a 15-minute ischemia-reperfusion model using rabbits, systemic repetitious administration of MCI-186, a free radical scavenger, was found to have a protective effect on the spinal cord neurons both neurologically and histologically. We postulate that the drug minimizes the delayed neuronal cell death for reperfusion injury after transient ischemia by reducing the free radical molecules. Moreover, it was thought that we could protect delayed neuronal cell death more effectively by administering MCI-18612 hours later.

同时应用融合和非融合技术治疗创伤性腰椎间盘损伤(附4例临床病例报道及文献复习)

目的观察同时应用融合及非融合技术治疗腰椎间盘损伤的远期疗效,对照该术式与非手术治疗的远期疗效。方法对4例由于急性外伤引起的L4/L5及L5/S1椎间盘损伤患者进行影像学评价。根据生物力学稳定性对病变节段分别采用融合和非融合技术。手术全部经前路腹膜外切口。L5/S1采用椎间融合(自体髂骨 cage植入),L4/L5采用人工椎间盘植入。术后随访4年,摄术后X线正侧位、动力位片,术后2年MRI检查,SF36问卷调查。同期8例患者采用非手术治疗作为对照。结果术后6、12、24、36及48个月X线片显示,融合节段正侧位椎体间无移位,全部患者均有明显的骨性融合。非融合节段人工椎间盘假体位置良好,术后2年MRI显示有正常活动。同期8例非手术治疗患者5例缓解,3例因症状加重实施手术。结论前路融合技术可以有效稳定椎节,缓解腰椎不稳所致的疼痛。人工腰椎间盘植入可以有效地维持放射学稳定性,但不能完全替代正常椎间盘的功能。

Prenatal diagnosis of Werdnig Hoffmann disease in China

Objective To establish a means for prenatal prediction of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) through survival motor neuron (SMN) gene deletion analysis and genetic counseling in families with a child affected with SMA.
Methods Genetic analysis for prenatal prediction of Werdnig-Hoffmann disease was performed in a at risk Chinese family by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) in SMN gene exons 7 and 8.
Results The pregnancy was positive for the homozygous deletion of the SMN gene, thus the fetus was diagnosed as being affected and the pregnancy was terminated.
Conclusion This approach is fast and reliable for DNA-based prenatal diagnosis of Werdnig-Hoffmann disease.

The Application of Topical Anesthesia Combined with Subconjunctival Anesthesia for Glaucoma Surgery

Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility, reliability and analgesia effect of topical anesthesia combined with subconjunctival anesthesia in anti-glaucomatous surgery.Methods: Two hundred and four cases (357 eyes) underwent anti-glaucomatous surgeries under topical anesthesia with 0.5％ Alcaine eye drops combined with subconjunctival anesthesia with 2％ Lidocaine. The analgesic effect was analysed with visual analogue pain scale.Results: Among all of 357 eyes, 62 eyes underwent peripheral iridectomy, 67 eyes underwent simple trabeculectomy, 167 eyes underwent compound brabeculectomy and 12 eyes nonpenetrating trabecular surgery. The effects of anesthesia were as follows: 304 eyes (85.2％) were painless (Grade Ⅰ), 50 eyes (14.0％) were slight painful (Grade Ⅱ), and 3 eyes (0.8％) were more painful (Grade Ⅲ) during surgery. And no severe complications were observed in all the cases during surgery and postoperatively. Amaurosis fugax was not observed in the glaucoma patients at the late stage with narrow vi
