目的探讨体内可降解生物材料人发角蛋白(HHK)植入急性冲击性损伤脊髓后,对神经再生过程中少突胶质细胞增殖分化效应的影响。方法采用改制Ⅱ型NYU装置,在建立大鼠急性冲击性脊髓损伤模型基础上,将经过特殊处理后能在体内降解的HHK植入大鼠脊髓损伤部位,对植入后1、4、12、26周损伤脊髓组织进行光学和电镜结构观察。结果第1周时,损伤部位可见少突胶质细胞散在分布于大量浸润的炎症细胞中;第4周时,通过Mallory's磷乌酸苏木素染色,显示HHK周边呈层包绕的增生少突胶质细胞;第12和26周主要为神经再生和髓鞘重建过程,重建中的少突胶质细胞髓鞘内出现较大的空腔,髓鞘层状分离,并形成大小不一的髓鞘小体,重建髓鞘周边可见新生的少突胶质细胞。结论在急性冲击性脊髓损伤后神经再生过程中,HHK对少突胶质细胞的增殖分化及髓鞘再生修复有积极作用,为进一步综合研究HHK对脊髓损伤修复的作用提供了实验依据。

REPAIR AND RECOVERY FOLLOWING SPINAL CORD INJURY IN A NEONATAL MARSUPIAL (MONODELPHIS DOMESTICA)

1. Repair and recovery following spinal cord injury (complete spinal cord crush) has been studied in vitro in neonatal opossum (Monodelphis domestica), fetal rat and in vivo in neonatal opossum. 2. Crush injury of the cultured spinal cord of isolated entire central nervous system (CNS) of neonatal opossum (P4–10) or fetal rats (E15–E16) was followed by profuse growth of fibres and recovery of conduction of impulses through the crush. Previous studies of injured immature mammalian spinal cord have described fibre growth occurring only around the lesion, unless implanted with fetal CNS. 3. The period during which successful growth occurred in response to a crush is developmentally regulated. No such growth was obtained after P12 in spinal cords crushed in vitro at the level of C7–8. 4. In vivo, in the neonatal (P4–8) marsupial opossum, growth of fibres through, and restoration of, impulse conduction across the crush was apparent 1–2 weeks after injury. With longer periods of time after crushing a considerable degree of normal locomotor function developed. 5. By the time the operated animals reached adulthood, the morphological structure of the spinal cord, both in the region of the crush and on either side of the site of the lesion, appeared grossly normal. 6. The results are discussed in relation to the eventual longterm possibility of devising effective treatments for patients with spinal cord injuries.     

Immunohistochemical, ultrastructural and immunoelectron microscopic studies of spinal cord neurofibrillary tangles in progressive supranuclear palsy

Immunohistochemical, ultrastructural and immunoelectron microscopic studies of spinal cord neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) were performed. The spinal cord NFTs reacted with antibodies to tau protein (tau-2), ubiquitin and Alzheimer neurofibrillary tangles (ANTs, Ab 39). Ultrastructurally, the NFTs consisted of bundles of straight fibrils. In longitudinal sections, the individual NFT fibrils appeared as straight fibrils with a diameter of approximately 15 nm. In cross sections, circular structures approximately 15 nm in diameter were seen, and some had a central density. Electron microscopic examination of specimens stained with the antibodies and by the modified Bielschowsky method revealed the products of the tau, ubiquitin and ANTs immunoreactions and silver deposits on the NFT fibrils. This is the first demonstration of the ultrastructure of spinal cord NFTs in PSP.     

Development of commissural neurons in the embryonic rat spinal cord.

Little is known about the development of the various populations of interneurons in the mammalian spinal cord. We have utilized the lipid-soluble tracer DiI in fixed tissue to study the migration and dendritic arborization of spinal neurons with axons in the ventral commissure in embryonic rats. Crystals of DiI were placed in various locations in the thoracic spinal cord in order to label commissural neurons within the dorsal horn, intermediate zone, and ventral horn at E13.5, E15, E17, and E19. Seven different groups of commissural interneurons are present in the spinal cord by E13.5. Migration is relatively simple with groups occupying a position along the dorsoventral axis roughly corresponding to their position of origin along the neuroepithelium. By E15, commissural cells are near their final locations and exhibit characteristic morphology. One striking feature is the tendency of cells with similar morphology to cluster in distinct groups. By E19, at least 18 different types of commissural interneurons can be identified on morphological grounds. Although the situation is complex, some generalities about dendritic morphology are apparent. Commissural neurons located in the dorsal horn are small and have highly branched dendrites oriented along the dorsoventral axis. In more ventral regions, commissural neurons are larger and possess dendritic arbors oriented obliquely or parallel to the mediolateral axis with long dendrites extending toward the lateral and ventral funiculi. The number of primary dendrites of most groups is set by E15 and dendritic growth occurs in the transverse plane by lengthening and branching of these primary processes. This study demonstrates that a large number of classes of commissural interneurons can be recognized on the basis of characteristic morphologies and locations within the dorsal horn, intermediate zone and ventral horn of the embryonic rat spinal cord. This finding is consistent with the fact that commissural neurons project to many different targets and mediate a variety of different functions. The demonstration that dendritic arbors of spinal interneurons with characteristic morphologies can be conveniently labelled with DiI should prove useful in future studies on the development of specific circuits in the mammalian spinal cord.     

Multiple occult vascular malformations of the brain and spinal cord: MRI diagnosis

Summary We report a patient with multiple angiographically occult vascular malformations in the brain and spine. Magnetic resonance imaging showed multiple lesions in brain and spine with hypointense areas on both T1 and T2-weighted images. These hypointense areas are usually secondary to hemosiderin deposits consistent with remote bleeding in the lesions. We conclude that when magnetic resonance reveals an intraspinal lesion with signal intensity characteristics consistent with a vascular malformation, an examination of the brain should be performed to rule out associated intracranial lesions. The finding of multiple lesions in the brain with identical signal intensity characteristics reinforces the diagnosis of vascular malformation.
