重症肌无力患者IgG脑室内注射对大鼠EEG及BAEP的影响

目的 观察重症肌无力(myasthenia gravis，MG)患者IgG(AChRAb)经大鼠脑室内注入对其脑电图(electroencephalography，EEG)及脑干听觉诱发电位(brain stem auditory evoked potential，BAEP)的影响，并探讨AChRAb影响大鼠中枢神经系统(CNS)的机制。方法将从确诊的、AChRAb阳性的MG患者血清中提纯的IgG(AChRAb)，注射到实验组大鼠侧脑室，对照组大鼠则注射健康人IgG，观察大鼠行为学、BAEP、EEG改变。结果实验组大鼠术后出现类似于实验性自身免疫性MG的行为学改变，部分大鼠出现癫痫发作BAEP峰间潜伏期(IPLs)延长EEG异常，即δ、θ增多与痫性波发放增加。结论 MGAChRAb可致大鼠CNS损害，AChRAb与大鼠CNS神经元型乙酰胆碱受体结合，可能是其病理生理机制。

Monocular contribution to the peak time of the binocular pattern visual evoked potential

The contribution of each monocular pathway to the timing of the binocular pattern visual evoked potential was assessed in situations where a significant interocular timing discrepancy was observed. Monocular and binocular pattern visual evoked potentials to 0.5° checks were recorded from normal subjects, normal subjects in whom one eye was blurred, patients with monocular amblyopia, and patients with resolved unilateral optic neuritis. Normal subjects showed facilitation, while suppression was evidenced in subjects with monocular blurring. In patients with amblyopia, the affected pathway had no effect on binocular pattern visual evoked potential latency, suggesting that the amblyopic eye was suppressed. In contrast, all patients with optic neuritis showed binocular averaging. Our results show that different forms of binocular interaction are evidenced in normal subjects, in amblyopia and in optic neuritis, and suggest that a comparative analysis of monocular and binocular pattern visual evoked potential peak times brings valuable information to the clinical evaluation that could be used to distinguish disease processes further.Abbreviation BPVEP binocular pattern visual evoked potential     

Measurement of cell impedance in frequency domain using discontinuous current clamp and white-noise-modulated current injection

A method is decribed for the determination of cellular input impedance of non-spiking neurones. The input impedance is important when cellular geometry and the effects of voltage-dependent channels are considered. Cells are impaled with a single glass microelectrod and current is injected using a time-sharing technique. The cell's impedance is measured by randomly modulating the injected current and calculating the impedance as a transfer function between current and recorded membrane voltage. Corresponding coherence functions can also be calculated for estimating the signal-to-noise ratio, and also linearity (i.e. possible activation of voltage-dependent conductances) of the membrane.     

A definition and systems view of anaerobic capacity

The purpose of this paper is both to define terms used in exercise physiology, i.e. anaerobic capacity, anaerobic work capacity and anaerobic potential, and develop a systems perspective of anaerobic capacity. Philosophical argument is used to support the proposed definitions and systems view, which is an approach to assist in the universal acceptance of such terms amongst scientific investigators, coaches and athletes, and provide a focus on physiological mechanisms associated with anaerobic capacity which may be the subject of future investigation.

Electrode recovery potential

In some instances the same electrodes are used for stimulation and then for recording a bioelectric event immediately after the stimulus. However, after the current pulse there remains an electrode potential that decays quasiexponentially. We have designated this falling potential the electrode-recovery potential. This study investigated the recovery potentials of single electrodes of rhodium, stainless steel, platinum and platinum-iridium in contact with 0.9% saline at room temperature (25°C) over a current density ranging from 0.1 to 100 mA/cm² using a constant-current pulse. In all cases, with increasing current density, there was a decrease in the time for the electrode potential to fall to one half of the immediate post-stimulus value. Above about 20 mA/cm² the decrease in recovery time was smooth with increasing current density. Below 20 mA/cm², the recovery time was slightly irregular. The shortest recovery times were for platinum and platinum-iridium. The largest decrease in recovery time with increasing current density was for stainless steel, which decreased 10 fold from 0.1 to 100 mA/cm². The recovery time for rhodium decreased about three-and-one half fold over the same current density range. It was found that the waveform of the recovery potential is not a simple exponential because the Warburg and Faradic components of the electrode-electrolyte interface are current-density dependent. In general, for all current densities studied (0.1–100 mA/cm²), there was a sudden initial fall in electrode potential with cessation of current flow, followed by a very gradual nonexponential decrease in potential.     

Motor evoked responses recorded epidurally in a patient with Guillain-Barré syndrome

Summary The case of a 75-year-old man with Guillain-Barré syndrome is presented. By means of transcranial electrical stimulation and epidural recording at the spinal level L2-3, distinct potentials with a latency of 21ms were obtained when the patient was tetraplegic. At the same time electromyographic responses of the thenar and anterior tibial muscles were absent following both transcranial and peripheral nerve stimulation. The patient recovered partially within 4 weeks. It is concluded that epidurally recorded motor evoked responses allow electrophysiological assessment of the descending pathways even in severe cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome and might contribute to a more accurate prediction of outcome.
