The effect of hyperventilation on strength-duration properties in diabetic polyneuropathy.

OBJECTIVE: Hyperventilation and ischaemia increase axonal excitability by changing Na+ conductance in healthy subjects. However, the changes in excitability during and after ischaemia in diabetic patients are less than in healthy controls. This is known as ischaemic resistance. In this study, we investigated the effects of hyperventilation for 20 min on strength-duration time constant (SDTC) of motor axons of the median nerve of diabetic patients with polyneuropathy to determine whether diabetics are less affected by hyperventilation, a form of resistance similar to the ischaemic resistance of diabetics. METHODS: The SDTC of 14 diabetic patients with polyneuropathy and 10 healthy volunteers were measured following stimulation of right median nerve at the wrist prior to and after hyperventilation for 20 min. RESULTS: There was a significant increase in the SDTC in control subjects, but no significant change in the SDTC for patients with diabetic polyneuropathy. The score of the clinical response (paraesthesiae and carpopedal spasm) to hyperventilation of controls was also significantly greater in the controls than the patients. CONCLUSION: Hyperventilation for 20 min has little influence on SDTC in patients with diabetic polyneuropathy. SIGNIFICANCE: The 'resistance' of diabetic nerve is not confined to ischaemia but involves other manoeuvres that can alter axonal excitability.

目的　观察人芽囊原虫在 3种培养基中的生长繁殖情况 ,以探讨最佳的培养方法。　方法　从大学生粪便中分离人芽囊原虫 ,转种至 3种不同培养基 ,定时观察人芽囊原虫的生长繁殖情况 ,根据原虫密度评价培养效果。　结果培养 96h后 ,Locke’s鸡蛋血清 (LES)双相培养基中的人芽囊原虫密度最高 ,改良Jones单相液体培养基次之 ,Locke’s琼脂血清 (LAS)双相培养基原虫密度最低 ,差异有显著性 (P <0 .0 5 ) ;观察 3种培养基中的原虫密度高峰持续时间分别为 3 60h、96h和 72h ,最长存活时间分别为 5 5 2h、3 3 6h和 168h。　结论　Locke’s鸡蛋血清双相培养基较适用于人芽囊原虫体外增殖培养。     

移植肾自发性破裂(附15例报告)

目的：总结移植肾自发性破裂的病因，临床表现，诊治及预防，方法：15例患者中，手术探查12例（9例保留移植肾，用明胶海绵填压或医用粘合胶粘贴联合减压，引流处理，3例切除移植肾），3例保守治疗。结果：移植肾切除3例患者行血液透析维持，手术保留移植肾9例和3例保守治疗患者痊愈出院，其中2例手术保留移植肾患者分别于出院98d和6个月因肺部感染，心衰死亡，其他病例随访3－31个月，平均19个月，肾功能均良好，结论：移植肾自发性破裂发生的确切原因尚未清楚，结合临床症状行B超检查对确诊此症价值较高，及时发现，尽早行内，外科联合处理对于移植肾破裂的治疗是重要的，明胶海绵或医用粘合胶粘贴联合减压，引流是一种有效的治疗方法，另外，预防也是一重要环节。

甲壳素涂层PGLA神经导管修复兔面神经缺损的实验研究

目的:探讨甲壳素涂层PGLA神经导管修复兔面神经缺损的效果。方法:成年雄性新西兰兔24只,无菌条件下切断双侧面神经下颊支,制成15mm的兔面神经下颊支缺损模型。左侧用甲壳素涂层聚丙交脂-乙交脂共聚物[poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide),PGLA]神经导管修复;右侧用翻转自体神经修复作为对照。术后5周、10周和14周行大体观察、电生理检查、组织学、电镜观察评价修复效果。结果:术后5周观察到神经导管中有新生轴索通过,再生神经发育不成熟;右侧自体神经修复近段有髓神经纤维均匀疏散分布,远段未见明显再生神经束形成。术后14周左侧再生神经已通过神经导管长入远端,电生理检查结果表明自体神经修复侧再生神经质量优于神经导管修复侧,差异有统计学意义(P<0.01)。自体神经修复再生纤维密度优于神经导管修复侧,差异有统计学意义(P<0.01),但自体神经修复侧近段神经髓鞘部分空泡样变性及脱髓鞘改变,远段再生神经纤维束形成少,面肌联带运动程度较导管修复侧严重。结论:甲壳素涂层PGLA神经导管能有效修复周围神经缺损,有望替代自体神经移植。
