脑干听觉诱发电位诊断听神经瘤的假阳性分析

综合分析ＢＡＥＰ各项指标，应用ＣＰＡ病变的ＢＡＥＰ４型诊断标准，从６００例可疑听神经瘤患者中，诊断出ＣＰＡ肿瘤５４例，同时发现４例假阳性。本文的假阳性率为７％（４／５８），较多数文献报道为低。在诊断听神经瘤中，ＢＡＥＰ的峰间期比波的绝对潜伏期准确，只有Ⅰ～Ⅲ峰间期增大所导致的Ⅰ～Ⅴ峰间期增大，才有诊断价值，ＢＡＥＰ只有定位作用，无定性价值，故ＢＡＥＰ诊断听神经瘤必须结合临床表现才有意义。在临床上即使已有明确的长束征时，但ＢＡＥＰ无健侧Ⅳ～Ⅴ波的改变，仍可排除肿瘤的诊断。在ＢＡＥＰ的Ⅳ型中，当健侧Ⅳ～Ⅴ波正常时，应参考复合检查，若其阴性则可排除肿瘤的诊断。     

Abnormalities in visceral evoked potentials from the anal canal in children with chronic constipation

The integrity of the sensory nervous system in the anal canals of chronically constipated children was investigated using evoked potential techniques examining cerebral and spinal evoked potentials from the lower extremities and anal canal. Stimulation of the posterior tibial nerve produced no significant difference in the parameters of spinal and cerebral evoked potentials between 18 controls and 12 chronically constipated chidren. However, stimulation of the anal canal resulted in evoked potentials related to the age and/or consciousness level of the control children. Reproducible cerebral responses were obtained only from nine of these control children, all aged over 4 years, who were examined while awake without sedatives. A typical response was characterized by a polyphasic wave occurring with an onset latency of 79.4± 27.7ms (mean ±SD). In the 12 chronically constipated children, the 5 sedated patients examined while asleep did not show any reproducible potential, as in the controls. However, in the remaining 7 children examined while awake, the occurrence of the anal canal evoked potential was significantly reduced, and only two exhibited a cerebral response. These findings suggest that rectal mucosal perception of the intraluminal stimuli might be disturbed in some children with chronic constipation.     

Changes in somatosensory evoked responses by repetition of the median nerve stimulation

OBJECTIVE: We investigate the synaptic factor for the recovery function of evoked responses using a repetitive stimulation technique. METHODS: Somatosensory evoked cortical magnetic field (SEF) was recorded following stimulation of the median nerve using single to 6-train stimulation in 8 healthy subjects. The SEF responses after each stimulus in the train stimulation were extracted by subtraction of the waveforms. RESULTS: An attenuation of the SEF components was recognized after the second of the stimuli, but there was no significant attenuation with the third or later stimulations. The root mean square (RMS) of the 1M (peak latency at 20 ms after stimulation) and 4M (70 ms) components were smaller than that of the single stimulation during the train stimulation, while the 2M (30 ms) and 3M (45 ms) components were not attenuated, but the 3M was facilitated at the fourth to sixth stimulation. CONCLUSION: The synaptic factor was not responsible for the attenuation of the SEF components during repetitive stimulation in healthy subjects. The SEF change disclosed a functional difference among the SEF components during the train stimulation, especially among the later components.     

不同强度噪声所致蜗内直流电位改变及其机制探讨

本实验观察105 dB—125 dB(声压级,SPL)白噪声暴露20min 对豚鼠耳蜗直流电位(EP)的影响.发现随着噪声强度的增加,EP 发生不同形式的改变:115 dB噪声使 P—EP 增大,而125 dB 则使其减小,但各组负 EP(N—EP)变化不大。提示有血管纹功能从代偿性增强到失代偿的变化过程。本文还利用几种钾离子通道阻断剂对EP 改变的通道机制作了探讨。     

Subclinical neurotoxicity of mercury vapor revealed by a multimodality evoked potential study of chloralkali workers

Pattern visual, brainstem auditory, and somatosensory evoked potential (EP) studies were performed on 26 chloralkali workers. The intensity of mercury vapor exposure in these workers was estimated from the individual working history. Mercury levels in blood, urine, and hair were determined with atomic absorption spectrometry. The EP findings were compared with those from individually matched normal subjects. In brainstem auditory and somatosensory EP studies, prolonged neural conduction times in the central nervous system (CNS) were found in workers exposed to mercury vapor. In the pattern visual EP study, mercury workers had higher interpeak amplitudes. Findings of this study suggested that chronic exposure to mercury vapor would affect the CNS functions. A multimodality EP study is a useful adjunct in evaluation of chronic mercury neurotoxicity, especially in an epidemiological study.     

Pharmacology of KB‐R7943: A Na+–Ca2+ exchange inhibitor

The Na⁺–Ca²⁺ exchange (NCX) system plays a pivotal role in regulating intracellular Ca²⁺ concentration in cardiomyocytes, neuronal cells, kidney and a variety of other cells. It performs a particularly important function in regulating cardiac contractility and electrical activity. One of the leading NCX inhibitors is KB‐R9743 (KBR) that appears to exhibit selectivity for Ca²⁺‐influx‐mode NCX activity (reverse mode of NCX). In this article we reviewed pharmacology of KBR and provide a brief summary of studies with other NCX inhibitors, such as SEA0400 (SEA) and SN‐6 (SN). Potential clinical usefulness of KBR and other NCX inhibitors is still controversial but the reviewed findings may be helpful in designing more selective and clinically useful NCX inhibitors for the treatment of cardiac, neuronal and kidney diseases.

Anin vitro electrophysiological study of the colon from patients with idiopathic chronic constipation

Preparations of the circular muscle layer from the sigmoid colon resected from patients with idiopathic chronic constipation were compared, at an electrophysiological level using the sucrose-gap technique, with preparations of the same region of the intestine resected from patients with rectal carcinoma. Non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic inhibitory neuromuscular transmission, represented by inhibitory junction potentials, was present in preparations from both groups. However, the inhibitory response in preparations from constipated patients had a slower or longer time-course than in those from cancer patients. Also, rebound activity following inhibitory transmission was observed in 34% of preparations from constipated patients but was observed in 67% of preparations from cancer patients. Preparations from both groups displayed the same patterns of spontaneous activity and the same proportion of each group was quiescent. The threshold for generation of action potentials and the passive resistance of the smooth muscle membrane were the same in both groups. However, quiescent preparations from constipated patients were less likely to discharge trains of action potentials when the smooth muscle membrane was depolarized than were preparations from cancer patients. These changes in transmission processes and excitability in tissue from constipated patients are discussed in relation to altered states of colonic motility found in people with idiopathic chronic constipation.
