Different effects of unilateral versus bilateral subthalamic nucleus stimulation on walking and reaching in Parkinson's disease.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of unilateral versus bilateral subthalamic nucleus (STN) stimulation on quantitative measures of walking and reaching in Parkinson's disease (PD). We used kinematic measures and the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) motor subscale (subscale III) to evaluate the movement of 6 people with PD who had bilateral STN stimulators implanted for at least 6 months and withheld their anti-parkinson medication for at least 8 hours. Subjects were studied with both stimulators off, one on, and both on. Kinematic data were collected as subjects walked, reached to a target, and were rated using the UPDRS motor subscale. STN stimulation improved walking speed and stride length, with the greatest benefit from bilateral stimulation. Reaching speed was improved by unilateral STN stimulation alone, with no additive effect of bilateral stimulation. UPDRS motor subscale ratings paralleled the kinematic findings. STN stimulation did not restore PD subjects' movements to the level of age-matched controls. Overall, these results provide further evidence that the basal ganglia pathways involved in control of walking and reaching may be distinct. We speculate that basal ganglia may influence walking through bilateral pedunculopontine projections and reaching through ipsilateral thalamocortical projections. Our findings also suggest that maximal improvement of walking requires bilateral rather than unilateral STN stimulation.

Immunohistochemistry of glial reaction after injury in the rat: Double stainings and markers of cell proliferation

The astrocytic reaction in the rat after brain injury has been studied immunohistochemically for intermediate filaments (GFAP and vimentin), also with double staining procedures, and for markers of proliferation (BrdU and PCNA). GFAP-positive reactive astrocytes appeared around the lesion, where they were vimentin-positive and at a distance. BrdU and PCNA showed a high labelling index around the wound at day 2 and scattered positive nuclei were also found at a distance in the ipsilateral side. BrdU-positive astrocytes represented a minor fraction of GFAP- and vimentin-positive astrocytes. The expression of vimentin persisted at least 15 days after the lesion. Our results could suggest that distant reactive astrocytes originate through hypertrophy while those close to lesion arise by hyperplasia from mature or immature glial cells. The hypothesis is formulated that cells of the periventricular matrix contribute to the post-traumatic proliferative activity.     

沐舒坦治疗重型颅脑损伤后肺部感染的临床分析

目的:探讨沐舒坦对重型颅脑损伤后肺部感染的治疗作用.方法:选择GCS3～8分重型颅脑损伤后肺部感染的患者90例,随机选45例(实验组)加用沐舒坦治疗,另45例(对照组)未予沐舒坦治疗。所有患者其他治疗措施均基本相同。结果:实验组有42例感染控制,感染控制时间平均(7.8±2.6)d:对照组有35例感染控制,感染控制时间平均(14.1±3.2)d。实验组肺部感染控制率显著高于对照组(P<0.05),而控制感染平均时间显著短于对照组(P<0.05)。结论:沐舒坦治疗重型颅脑损伤后肺部感染有较好的临床疗效,值得临床推广应用。
