Morbidity of infrainguinal bypass surgery is mostly related to cardiac complication, graft thrombosis, and wound infections. Neurologic complications in these patients are unusual and generally related to traumatic peripheral nerve injury or ischemia. Anterior spinal cord ischemia, manifest clinically as flaccid paraplegia or lower extremity paraparesis, is a complication usually associated with aortic surgery. Reported here is a case of an 81-year-old male who developed spinal cord ischemia after infrainguinal bypass under epidural anesthesia. 相似文献

The potential role of Iloprost, a stable analogue of prostocyclin, in treating spinal cord ischemia was investigated in rabbits subjected to aortic occlusion for 15 minutes. Ten adult rabbits weighing 2-2.5 kg received an intravenous infusion of saline (SF) as a control group and 14 rabbits received an intravenous infusion of Iloprost, 25 microg/kg/h. Iloprost infusion was started immediately after clamping of the aorta and continued 60 minutes thereafter. Cortical somatosensorial evoked potentials (CSEP) were recorded during the pre-ischemic period as a baseline and post-ischemic readings were taken at 15, 30 and 60 minutes. There was no statistically significant difference between CSEP of the saline and Iloprost treated groups (p < 0.05). All animals were examined neurologically by using a modification of Tarlov scale and all subjects were then deeply anesthetized and their spinal cords were removed for light and electron microscopic examinations at 24 h after spinal cord ischemia. In order to obtain an accurate comparison of ultrastructural changes between saline treated and Iloprost treated groups, a grading scale was performed. The light microscopic and ultrastructural analysis of the Iloprost treated group revealed that there was moderate protection of the myelin and axons and edema was attenuated. Findings of this study suggest that Iloprost exerts a protective effect on spinal cord ischemia. However, further studies are needed to reveal possible mechanisms of protection provided by Iloprost. 相似文献

Background: Although gray matter injury has been well characterized, the available data on white matter injury after spinal cord ischemia (SCI) in rabbits are limited. The current study was conducted to investigate the evolution of ischemia induced injury to gray and white matter and to correlate this damage to hind-limb motor function in rabbits subjected to SCI. Methods: Thirty-eight rabbits were randomly assigned to 24-h, 4-day, or 14-day reperfusion groups or a sham group (n = 9 or 10 per group). SCI was induced by occlusion of the infrarenal aorta for 16 min. Hind-limb motor function was assessed using the Tarlov scale (0 = paraplegia, 4 = normal). The gray matter damage was assessed on the basis of the number of normal neurons in the anterior spinal cord. White matter damage was assessed on the basis of the extent of vacuolation and accumulation of amyloid precursor protein immunoreactivity. Results: Tarlov scores gradually decreased and reached a nadir 14 days after reperfusion. There were no significant differences in the number of normal neurons among the 24-h, 4-day, and 14-day groups. The extent of vacuolation, expressed as a percent of total white matter area, was significantly greater in the 4-day and 14-day groups in comparison with the sham group. By contrast, there was no difference in vacuolation between the sham and 24-h groups. Amyloid precursor protein immunoreactivity was greater in the 4-day and 14-day groups. 相似文献

Background: The mechanisms underlying neuropathic pain are incompletely understood and its treatment is often unsatisfactory. Spinal cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression is upregulated after peripheral inflammation, associated with spinal prostaglandin production leading to central sensitization, but the role of COX isoenzymes in sensitization after nerve injury is less well characterized. The current study was undertaken to determine whether COX-1 was altered in this model. Methods: Male rats underwent partial sciatic nerve transsection (PSNT) or L5-L6 spinal nerve ligation (SNL). Four weeks after PSNT and 4 h, 4 days, or 2 weeks after SNL, COX-1 immunohistochemistry was performed on the L2-S2 spinal cord. Results: COX-1 immunoreactivity (COX-1-IR) was unaffected 4 h after SNL. In contrast, 4 days after SNL, the number of COX-1-IR cells increased in the ipsilateral spinal cord. COX-1-IR increased in cells with glial morphology in the superficial laminae, but decreased in the rest of the ipsilateral spinal cord 4 weeks after PSNT and 2 weeks after SNL. These changes in immunostaining were greatest at the L5 level. 相似文献

Background: Previous data have shown that postischemic brain hypothermia is protective. The authors evaluated the effect of postischemic spinal hypothermia on neurologic function and spinal histopathologic indices after aortic occlusion in the rat. Methods: Spinal ischemia was induced by aortic occlusion lasting 10 min. After ischemia, spinal hypothermia was induced using a subcutaneous heat exchanger. Three studies were conducted. In the first study, the intrathecal temperature was decreased to 34, 30, or 27 [degree sign]C for 2 h beginning with initial reperfusion. In the second study, hypothermia (target intrathecal temperature 27 [degree sign]C) was initiated with reflow and maintained for 15 or 120 min. In the third study, the intrathecal temperature was decreased to 27 [degree sign]C for 2 h starting 5, 60, or 120 min after normothermic reperfusion. Animals survived for 2 or 3 days, at which time they were examined and perfusion fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde. Results: Normothermic ischemia followed by normothermic reflow resulted in spastic paraplegia and spinal neuronal degeneration. Immediate postischemic hypothermia (27 [degree sign]C for 2 h) resulted in decreasing motor dysfunction. Incomplete protection was noted at 34 [degree sign]C. Fifteen minutes of immediate cooling (27 [degree sign]C) also provided significant protection. Delay of onset of post-reflow hypothermia (27 [degree sign]C) by 5 min or more failed to provide protection. Histopathologic analysis revealed temperature-dependent suppression of spinal neurodegeneration, with no effect of delayed cooling. 相似文献

为观察经颅磁刺激的不同刺激量和脊髓缺血性损伤对运动诱发电位的影响,采用兔脊髓可逆性缺血损伤模型进行磁刺激运动诱发电位(TMS-MEP)监测。发现在40%~80%的刺激量时,MEP相对稳定。脊髓缺血损伤后MEP潜伏期延长或消失,恢复血供后MEP先于后肢运动功能恢复,至4~6小时完全恢复正常,当脊髓缺血后24小时出现继发性损伤时,MEP再次出现异常,MEP的表现和后肢运动功能变化及病理改变相一致。证实TMS-MEP可敏感而准确的反映脊髓缺血后改变,可用于监测脊髓的缺血性损伤。 相似文献

Objectives:To investigate the relationship between early trauma indicators and neurologic recovery after traumatic SCI using standardized outcome measures from the ISNCSCI examination and standardized functional outcome measures for rehabilitation populations. Methods:This is a retrospective review of merged, prospectively collected, multicenter data from the Spinal Cord Injury Model Systems (SCIMS) database and institutional trauma databases from five academic medical centers across the United States. Functional status at inpatient rehabilitation discharge and change in severity and level of injury from initial SCI to inpatient rehabilitation discharge were analyzed to assess neurologic recovery for patients with traumatic SCI. Linear and logistic regression with multiple imputation were used for the analyses. Results:A total of 209 patients were identified. Mean age at injury was 47.2 ± 18.9 years, 72.4% were male, 22.4% of patients had complete injuries at presentation to the emergency department (ED), and most patients were admitted with cervical SCI. Mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) was 124.1 ± 29.6 mm Hg, mean ED heart rate was 83.7 ± 19.9 bpm, mean O2 saturation was 96.8% ± 4.0%, and mean Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score was 13.3 ± 3.9. The average Injury Severity Score (ISS) in this population was 22.4. Linear regression analyses showed that rehabilitation discharge motor FIM was predicted by motor FIM on admission and ISS. Requiring ventilatory support on ED presentation was negatively associated with improvement of ASIA Impairment Scale (AIS) grade at rehabilitation discharge compared with AIS grade after initial injury. Emergency room physiologic measures (SBP, pulse, oxygen saturation) did not predict discharge motor FIM or improvement in AIS grade or neurological level of injury. Conclusion:Our study showed a positive association between discharge FIM and ISS and a negative association between ventilatory support at ED presentation and AIS improvement. The absence of any significant association between other physiologic or clinical variables at ED presentation with rehabilitation outcomes suggests important areas for future clinical research. 相似文献
