八段锦治疗神经根型颈椎病的系统评价与Meta分析

[目的] 系统评价八段锦治疗神经根型颈椎病的临床疗效。[方法] 计算机检索中国知网数据库（CNKI）、维普资讯中文科技期刊数据库（VIP）、万方数据库（Wan-fang）、中国生物医学文献数据库（SinoMed）、Web of science、Clinical Trials gov、Pubmed、EMBASE、CENTRAL、Cochrane Library，查找出八段锦治疗神经根型颈椎病的随机对照试验（RCT），检索时限均从建库至2019年7月1日。两名研究者按照纳入与排除标准独立进行文献筛选、资料提取和偏倚风险评估，应用RevMan 5.3软件对最后纳入的研究进行Meta分析。[结果] 最终纳入10个RCT，共843例患者。Meta分析结果显示：八段锦+常规治疗与常规治疗比较，其临床疗效的总有效率差异具有统计学意义[OR=4.19，95% CI（2.42，7.26），P<0.000 01]；八段锦+常规治疗与常规治疗+颈部“米”字操比较，其临床疗效的总有效率差异具有统计学意义[OR=3.41，95% CI（1.56，7.46），P=0.002]；八段锦+常规治疗与常规治疗比较，其疼痛视觉模拟评分法（VAS）评分差异具有统计学意义[MD=-1.90，95% CI（-1.97，-1.83），P<0.000 01]。[结论] 基于现有的研究，该系统评价显示，与常规治疗相比，八段锦+常规治疗在临床疗效总有效率、VAS评分方面有一定的治疗优势。与常规治疗+颈部“米”字操比较，八段锦+常规治疗在临床疗效的总有效率方面有一定的治疗优势。但由于纳入研究的质量不高，仍需要大样本、多中心、随机、双盲试验及试验参照CONSORT标准和STRICTA声明进行RCT研究。     

Sciatic Neuropathy: Case Report and Discussion of the Literature on Postoperative Sciatic Neuropathy and Sciatic Nerve Tumors

Sciatic nerve injury and dysfunction is not an uncommon cause of lower extremity symptoms in a musculoskeletal practice. We present the case of a man who presented with lower extremity weakness, pain, and cramps, and was initially diagnosed at an outside institution with bilateral S1 radiculopathies and recommended for spine surgery. He came to us for a second opinion. Electrodiagnostic testing revealed an isolated sciatic neuropathy and the patient was referred for imaging, which showed a sciatic nerve sheath tumor. Review of the literature on sciatic neuropathies shows that there can be many possible etiologies of sciatic nerve dysfunction, but that hip arthroplasty continues to be the leading risk factor. Sciatic nerve tumors are not commonly described in the literature and their definitive management remains unclear.     

100例腰骶神经根神经病的热成象研究

目的对腰骶神经根病患者的神经损伤程度与热成象体表温差的相关性进行研究。方法将１００例腰骶神经根病患者按照热成象检查结果分为正常（２３例）与异常（７７例）两组。在热成象异常组中，根据临床病变程度并结合腱反射改变进一步划分神经损伤程度为轻（３１例）、中（３３例）、重度（１３例）３组，比较３组的温差ΔＴ均值。结果热成象异常的轻、中、重３组温差ΔＴ均值分别为１．１３±０．３４，１．４６±０．５８和２．３５±１．２０（Ｆ检验Ｐ＜０．０００１）。各组间比较差异也均具有非常显著性意义。结论本研究结果提示神经损伤程度与体表温差具有相关性，即神经损伤程度愈重，患侧相应的体表温度愈低，温差越大。热成象具有对神经损伤程度进行初步定量评估的价值。     

磁刺激运动诱发电位在腰椎间盘突出所致的腰骶神经根病变中的应用研究

在35例有L5和／或S1神经根损害表现的腰椎间盘突出患者腰椎区进行磁刺激运动诱发电位（MEP）检查，测定、记录胫前肌、展肌和小趾展肌MEP的起始潜伏期（OL）。结果显示，35例中至少有一条总侧肌肉MEP异常33例（94．3％）。在L4－5椎间盘突出中，以胫前肌的MEP异常为主；在L5－S1椎间盘突出中，以小趾展肌的MEP异常为主。表明腰椎区MEP检查对腰椎间盘突出所致的腰骶神经根病变较为敏感，可为临床诊断提供可靠依据并有助于定位诊断。     

Neurogenic muscle hypertrophy in radiculopathy

The course of radiculopathy is sometimes associated with weakness and wasting of muscles. Very rarely in such cases, however, is hypertrophy of muscle fibres observed. Three cases are presented of sciatica with enlarged calves caused by hypertrophy of type 1 or types 1 and 2 muscle fibres. In light of the literature and the results obtained, an attempt is made to explain the cause of rare clinical symptoms and draw attention to diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties.     

Spinal manipulation results in immediate H-reflex changes in patients with unilateral disc herniation

The aim of this clinical investigation was to determine whether the abnormal H-reflex complex present in patients with S 1 nerve root compression due to lumbosacral disc herniation is improved by single-session lumbar manipulation. Twenty-four patients with unilateral disc herniation at the L5-S1 level underwent spinal H-reflex electro-physiological evaluation. This was carried out before and after single-session lumbar manipulation in the side-lying position. Eligibility criteria for inclusion in the study were: predominant sciatica, no motor or sphincteric involvement, unilateral disc herniation at the L5-S1 level on CT or MR imaging, age between 20 and 50 years. H-reflex responses were recorded bilaterally from the gastrosoleous muscle following stimulation of tibial sensory fibers in the popliteal fossa. H-reflex amplitude in millivolts (HRA) and H-reflex latency in milliseconds (HR-L) were measured from the spinal reflex response. Pre- and post-manipulation measurements were compared between the affected side and the healthy side. Statistical evaluation was performed by the Wilcoxon matched-pairs test (SPSS). Thirteen patients displayed abnormal H-reflex parameters prior to lumbar manipulation, indicating an S1 nerve root lesion. The mean amplitude was found to be significantly lower on the side of disc herniation than on the normal, healthy side (P = 0.0037). Following manipulation, the abnormal HR-A increased significantly on the affected side while the normal HR-A on the healthy side remained unchanged (P = 0.0045). There was a significant difference between latencies on the affected side and those on the healthy side (P = 0.003). Following manipulation there was a trend toward decreased HR-L. However, this trend did not reach statistical significance (P = 0.3877). Eight patients displayed no H-reflex abnormalities before or after manipulation. Their respective HR-A and HR-L values did not change significantly following manipulation. Three additional patients were excluded due to technical difficulties in achieving manipulation or measuring spinal reflex. These observations may lend physiological support for the clinical effects of manipulative therapy in patients with degenerative disc disease.Presented in part at EURO SPINE, Zurich, 18 October 1996, the International Conference on Spinal Manipulation, Bournemouth, 19 October 1996, and the North American Spine Society Annual Meeting, Vancouver, 25 October 1996

伴颈5/6椎间孔狭窄神经根型颈椎病影像学特点及临床意义

目的 观测伴C5/C6椎间孔狭窄神经根型颈椎病患者的颈椎间孔形态及三维空间下的各相关径值,分析并探讨其临床意义。方法 随机选取492例伴C5/C6椎间孔狭窄,在上海长征医院于2014年9月至2019年7月期间行手术治疗的神经根型颈椎病患者,行颈椎正侧位X线、颈椎CT、颈椎磁共振等检查,数字骨科系统重建后观测椎间孔形态并测量最佳投射角度下的纵径、上前后径、下前后径、横截面积、椎间隙高度等径值并对其进行统计学处理,比较病例组与正常成人组C5/C6椎间孔之间、病例组病变椎间孔与对侧椎间孔以及病例组中男女患者之间的差异。结果 病例组C5/C6椎间孔形态因骨赘增生等,以纺锤形、不规则形为主,病例组C5/C6椎间孔横径均值、纵径、横截面积、椎间隙平均高度分别为（5.81±1.40）mm、（10.45±1.70）mm、（50.02±15.46）mm2、（4.99±0.89）mm,均比正常成人组减小,且差异有统计学意义（P<0.01）;男女间比较差异无统计学意义（P>0.05）。结论 伴C5/C6椎间孔狭窄神经根型颈椎病患者的颈椎间孔的形态发生改变,导致椎间孔的横径均值及横截面积值均明显减小;椎间孔的横径在诊断颈椎间孔狭窄方面敏感性及特异性高;术中减压时应更加注重椎间孔横径的有效扩大,以提高手术效果。
