目的:探讨磁共振成像和体感诱发电位以及两者结合在坐骨神经急性挤压伤中的诊断价值。方法:24只兔按钳夹力的不同随机分为A、B两组,左后肢为损伤侧,右后肢为对照侧,建立坐骨神经急性挤压伤模型,于伤后1、2、4、8周行MR扫描,同时行双侧体感诱发电位检查。结果:损伤侧24条神经,有23条MR显示异常,诊断正确率95.8%,假阴性率4.17%(1/24);24条损伤侧坐骨神经,有22条SEP显示异常,诊断正确率91.6%,假阴性率8.3%(2/24)。MRI与SEP对神经损伤的正确诊断率无统计学差异(P>0.05)。MRI与SEP结合起来,24条损伤神经均显示异常,诊断正确率100%。结论:MR与SEP检查可无创、准确地判断神经损伤,两者结合可明显提高神经损伤的正确诊断率,重复性好,可作为神经损伤的较好诊断手段。     

大鼠视神经损伤定量模型的建立

目的建立标准化视神经损伤大鼠动物模型，对致伤强度、损伤程度及两者之间的关系进行量化分析。方法在立体定位下，利用微电极毁损视神经颅内段，毁损电压为5V，频率为60kHz，通过改变电毁损的电流强度，造成不同程度视神经损伤。然后进行视网膜切片，计数视神经节细胞层细胞，定量视神经损伤。结果析因方差分析结果显示：视神经节细胞计数存不同刺激时间之间，差异硅著（F=3472，14，P〈0．001）；在不同电流强度组间，差异显著（F=335．83，P〈0．001）；经LSD法多重比较，视神经节细胞计数在刺激电流之间及刺激时间之间差异在α=0．05水平均有显著性意义。刺激强度和刺激时间的单独效应：同一电流组随着刺激时间增加．视神经节细胞计数呈下降趋势；除对照组和90s组外（F=0．79，P=0．548；F=1．54，P=0．242），刺激时间相同时，随电流强度增加．细胞计数也呈下降趋势，刺激电流强度与刺激时间之间交互效廊显著（F=27．30，P〈0．001）：结论立体定向电毁损大鼠颅内段视神经模型可以测定致伤强度和视神经损伤程度，是较理想的视神经损伤模型。

Image features of two rare mediastinal tumors: schwannoma of intrathoracic phrenic nerve and clear cell chondrosarcoma of the rib

The current report focuses on two patients of the same age who presented similar appearances on initial anteroposterior chest images. Follow-up images showed superoanterior and superoposterior mediastinal lesions. The first patient with noninvasive cystic thymoma was suspected before surgery, while the pathologic diagnosis was intrathoracic phrenic nerve schwannoma. The second patient was with an asymmetric, dumbbell-shaped paravertebral tumor over T3 and T4 on the left side. The preoperative…     

正中神经与肌皮神经的交通支及其临床意义

目的观察正中神经与肌皮神经之间的交通支，探讨其临床意义。方法对72侧防腐固定尸体解剖，对正中神经、肌皮神经之间的交通支进行测量与观察，并对不同类型交通支的结果进行比较。结果13人，16侧肢体存在18支交通支，出现率22．2％，男性与女性相比出现率高且差异显著，左右肢体的出现率无显著差异。其中肌皮神经从正中神经低位发出的有2支，正中神经-肌皮神经的交通支（Ⅰ型）与肌皮神经-正中神经的交通支（Ⅱ型）相比起、止点低，交通支较长，但直径细（Ⅰ型14．2～23．0cm，止点为11．0～21．5cm，长度为2．5～10．7cm，直径为0．55～2．15mm；Ⅱ型起点为0～17．ocm，止点为12．0～24．0cm，长度为1．9～8．4cm，直径为0．76～2．60mm）但两者差异无统计学意义（P〉0．05）。结论正中神经与肌皮神经之间存在着交通支，并起着一定的功能，手术时应注意加以保护，避免损伤。     

颅神经疾病的肿瘤性病因探讨

目的总结经治的面肌痉挛、三叉神经痛等一类颅神经疾病的肿瘤性病因，对其临床表现特点、发病机制和处理方法进行探讨和分析。方法以面肌痉挛、三又神经痛主诉就诊的患者术前MRI检查发现肿瘤性病因19例，占同期显微手术治疗1032例面肌痉挛、三叉神经痛中的1．8％。其中男7例，女12例。三叉神经痛16例，面肌痉挛3例。术前诊断胆脂瘤8例，脑膜瘤5例，听神经瘤6例。结果肿瘤获全切，病理诊断同术前一致。术后除一例胆脂瘤致三叉神经痛部分缓解外，余症状均消失，平均随访46个月，未见复发。结论颅神经疾病的肿瘤性病因并不少见，在本组三叉神经痛中高达6．3％（16／253）。其临床特点是发病年龄较轻，病程较短，症状较重，三叉神经痛倾向于不典型发作。临床医师应保持警惕，术前应常规MRI检查。一旦发现肿瘤应争取及时手术可获良好效果。

Selective peripheral neurotomy (SPN) for spasticity in childhood

Overview Excess spasticity leads to disability that is marked by impaired locomotion, handicapping deformities and, if not controlled, discomfort and pain. Selective peripheral neurotomy in the child is indicated for severe focal spasticity, when botulinum toxin injections cannot delay surgery any longer. Materials and methods Preoperative motor blocks mimicking the outcome of the surgical procedure are essential to establish the objectives of neurotomy. In the lower limb, obturator neurotomy is indicated for spasticity in the adductor muscles, hamstring neurotomy for the knee flexion and tibial neurotomy for the spastic foot. Anterior tibial neurotomy is indicated for the extensor hallucis spasticity and femoral neurotomy for spasticity in the quadriceps. In the upper limb, neurotomy of the pectoralis major and teres major nerves is indicated for spasticity of the internal rotators of the shoulder. Neurotomy of the musculocutaneous nerve is indicated for spasticity of the flexors of the elbow, and neurotomy of median and ulnar nerves are indicated for spasticity of the pronators and flexors of the wrist and fingers. Conclusion Selective peripheral neurotomy is a valuable neurosurgical procedure in well-trained surgical hands for severe focalised spasticity.     

Hypoxia‐inducible factor 1α may be a marker for vasculitic neuropathy

Neuromuscular biopsy is still an essential method for diagnosing vasculitic neuropathy, although its diagnostic sensitivity is at most 60%. Our objective was to examine the expression of hypoxia‐inducible factor 1α (HIF‐1α) in peripheral nerves and to evaluate its usefulness in diagnosing vasculitic neuropathy, especially for discrimination from other axonal neuropathies. Forty‐one patients with vasculitic neuropathy consisting of 20 definite, 14 probable and seven possible diagnoses, 15 patients with metabolic neuropathy, five with motor neuron disease and six with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy were included. Nerve biopsy specimens were immunohistochemically examined for HIF‐1α and various cell markers. Distinct immunoreactivity (IR) was observed in nuclei of endoneurial cells in 54% (22/41) of vasculitic patients, while specimens from metabolic neuropathies showed less nuclear IR and the difference of mean density of HIF‐1α‐positive nuclei was significant. Two patients with possible vasculitis who showed HIF‐1α‐positive nuclei in endoneurium, were later confirmed to have vasculitis by skin biopsies. Most of the cells expressing HIF were demonstrated to be Schwann cells. There was a trend in the vasculitic patients with early phase nerve damage to display higher endoneurial HIF‐1α‐IR. HIF‐1α may be an immunohistochemical marker for vasculitic neuropathy, especially when the observed section contains no vasculitic lesions.
