Innervation of the trapezius muscle: is cervical contribution important to its function?

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of the cervical plexus and the accessory nerve to the function of the trapezius muscle. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: Eighteen adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups. The neurotomies were performed in the left sides and the right sides served as within-subject controls. In group A, the accessory nerve was transected. The C2-5 were transected in group B, and both of the accessory nerve and C2-5 were cut in group C. The electrophysiologic, myophysiologic, and histologic changes of the muscles were measured. RESULTS: There were significant differences (P < 0.05) between the three groups in the recovery rates of the transverse area of the muscles. The CMAP recorded from the experimental sides in group B were similar to the control sides. The values of the maximum tension of the tetanus contraction between the two sides showed no differences either (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: The accessory nerve supplies the most important motor input to the trapezius. Motor innervations of the cervical plexus are not very significant.     

Computerized tomography based on DEI refraction information.

Conventional computerized tomography (CT) technique is based on the absorption contrast. In recent years, X-ray phase-contrast CT (PCCT) has been developing rapidly. It uses the phase information to reconstruct the object and provide high contrast and spatial resolution. Diffraction enhanced imaging (DEI) method is one of the three phase-sensitive X-ray imaging techniques. DEI method employs an analyzer crystal to extract the object's refraction information which can be used for CT. However, when DEI refraction CT is combined with the conventional CT algorithm, it should be satisfied that the refraction information of an arbitrary point in the object is invariable at every projection view. In this paper, the invariance condition of refraction information is analyzed and two feasible methods are provided for reconstruction. Using these two methods, two samples of weak absorption are reconstructed with the experimental data obtained at Beijing Synchrotron Radiation Facility (BSRF).

Lack of spontaneous activity of cutaneous spinal dorsal horn neurons in awake, drug-free, spinally transected cats

Extracellular single-unit activity was recorded from neurons with cutaneous input in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord (L4-L6) of awake, drug-free cats before (for several weeks) and after (day 1 through day 7) cord transection (T12). The spontaneous activity of the neurons was minimal or nonexistent in both recording conditions. The lack of spontaneous activity following spinal cord transection contrasts sharply with activity recorded in acute spinal-cord transected preparations in which high rates of spontaneous activity have been reported. This discrepancy may reflect an important difference between the chronic, awake, drug-free and acute preparations.     

持续压力超负荷对兔左心室细胞凋亡的影响

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of chronic pressure overload on the apoptosis of the left ventricle myocytes in rabbits. METHODS: Rabbit models of chronic pressure overload-induced heart failure were prepared in which dynamic changes of apoptotic myocytes in the left ventricle were observed by way of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end-labeling (TUNEL) assay. RESULTS: Only a few apoptotic cells was observed in the sham-operated group, while in the experimental group, the apoptotic left ventricle myocytes significantly increased after operation, presenting a peak level between day 3 and day 7. Seven days after the operation, the apoptotic myocytes began to decrease and till day 14, the apoptotic cell number had been smaller than that measured on day 1. When signs of heart failure set in, the apoptotic myocytes were again increased (P<0.001). CONCLUSION: During chronic pressure overload, myocyte apoptosis in the left ventricle is elevated at the early stages and undulates subsequently, with the peak occurring before hypertrophy is obvious.     

Electron microscopic evidence for the association of M 2 protein with the influenza virion

Summary Immunogold electron microscopy revealed that site-specific antibodies elicited by a synthetic peptide representing the N-terminal sequence (residues 2–10) of influenza virus M 2 protein were capable of binding to the surface of virions. Antibody binding was observed with two human influenza virus strains but not with an avian virus strain which has amino acid substitutions in the appropriate sequence of M 2. These results provide direct evidence for the presence of M 2 in the influenza virion.     

胃肠道肿瘤病人围手术期细胞因子及蛋白质代谢的变化

目的 :探讨胃肠道肿瘤病人手术后肿瘤坏死因子 α (TNF α)、白介素 6 (IL 6 )、白介素 10 (IL 10 )的变化以及与蛋白质代谢的关系。　方法 :用酶联免疫法 (ELISA)检测 19例胃肠道肿瘤根治术病人术前和术后 1、3、5天血清TNF α、IL 6和IL 10水平 ,同时检测蛋白质分解代谢相关指标、2 4h尿中尿素和肌酐排泄量。　结果 :胃肠道肿瘤根治术后病人TNF α呈下降趋势 ,术后第 1天较术前明显下降 (P <0 .0 5 )。IL 6和IL 10术后升高 (P <0 .0 1) ,尤以术后第 1天升高明显。术后 2 4h尿中尿素和肌酐排泄量明显升高。　结论 :胃肠道肿瘤根治术后病人IL 6和IL 10的升高支持手术应激导致的细胞因子释放变化 ,但TNF α呈下降趋势 ,可能与胃肠道肿瘤病人术前TNF α的高表达有关。术后蛋白质分解代谢增加 ,可能与细胞因子IL 6和IL 10的升高有关。
