Asynchronous blepharospasm, facial and cervical dystonia, and bilateral asynchronous hemifacial spasm.

We present a patient with a facial movement disorder that has characteristics of both blepharospasm and bilateral asynchronous hemifacial spasm. Because of the increased incidence of blepharospasm in patients with hemifacial spasm, our patient's clinical presentation is probably not a chance occurrence, but rather a manifestation of some predisposition for these two movement disorders. This unusual constellation of signs and symptoms challenges the current diagnostic criteria and suggests that some of these facial movement disorders may lie on a spectrum, rather than represent distinct entities.     

Sympathetic skin response in patients with myasthenia gravis★ A comparative analysis

BACKGROUND: The examination of sympathetic skin response is an important index for assessing the autonomic nerve function, and patients with myasthenia gravis are always accompanied by dysautonomia. Therefore, it will be important to know whether sympathetic skin response can be used as the index for the clinical evaluation of myasthenia gravis. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the diagnostic value of sympathetic skin response in the damage of autonomic nerve function of patients with myasthenia gravis. DESIGN: A case-controlled comparative observation. SETTING: Department of Neurology and Room of Nerve Electromyogram, the Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College. PARTICIPANTS: Thirty outpatients or inpatients with myasthenia gravis were selected from the Department of Neurology, the Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College from May 2006 to May 2007, including 9 males and 21 females, aged 8–72 years with a mean age of (28±5) years old. They were all accorded with the diagnostic standards of myasthenia gravis, accompanied by different severity of autonomic nerve symptoms, including poor skin nutrition, sweating of hands and feet, pyknocardia, persistent hypotension, abdominal pain, constipation, etc. They all had not taken any drug affecting the autonomic nerve function before the examination. Informed consents were obtained from all the patients. Meanwhile, 30 healthy physical examinees were enrolled as the normal control group, including 10 males and 20 females, aged 10–75 years with a mean age of (31±5) years old. Approval was obtained from the hospital ethic committee. METHODS: After admission, the patients were examined with sympathetic skin response using DANTEC keypoint 2.0 electromyography evoked potential apparatus (Danmark). The changes of the latency and wave amplitude of sympathetic skin response were observed. The subjects in the normal control group were examined with the same methods at physical examination. Abnormality was judged by the disappearance of wave form, latency longer than that in the normal control group by Mean±2.5SD, or wave amplitude lower than the average value in the normal control group by 50%. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The results of the latency and wave amplitude of sympathetic skin response were compared between the patients with myasthenia gravis and normal controls. RESULTS: All the 30 patients with myasthenia gravis and 30 healthy physical examinees were involved in the final analysis of results. There were no significant differences between the left and right upper and lower limbs in both the myasthenia gravis group and normal control group (P > 0.05). In the myasthenia gravis group, the abnormal rate of sympathetic skin response was 37% (11/30), the latency was prolonged and the wave amplitude was decreased as compared with those in the normal control group, and there were significant differences (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Sympathetic skin response can be used as an electrophysiological index for judging the damages of autonomic nerve function in patients with myasthenia gravis.     

头环牵引外固定架治疗颈椎外伤的临床研究

[目的]探讨头环牵引外固定架治疗颈椎外伤的临床疗效。[方法]从1997年2月~2005年7月共收治129例颈椎外伤性骨折脱位患者。将129例病例随机分成2组,1组70例行头环牵引,其中31例头环牵引加背心带支架保守治疗,39例头环牵引加手术治疗(前路手术18例,后路手术17例,前后路联合手术4例);另1组59例行颅骨牵引,其中13例颅骨牵引加支具保守治疗,46例颅骨牵引加手术治疗(前路手术22例,后路手术20例,前后路联合手术4例)。[结果]随访6~48个月,平均12个月。头环牵引与颅骨牵引对上颈椎骨折脱位的复位作用无明显差异;对下颈椎骨折脱位的复位作用,统计学处理显示头环牵引组要明显好于颅骨牵引组,复位所需时间比颅骨牵引组短,完全复位率高,减压充分,更有利于脊髓功能恢复,治疗后离床时间头环牵引组要短于颅骨牵引组,2组患者治疗前后脊髓功能Frankel分级均有改善。[结论]头环牵引外固定架可改善复位功能,对颈椎的牵引固定作用较颅骨牵引更为坚强稳定,使用安全方便。     

交感神经节与椎旁阻滞联合运用于改善脑中风预后的研究

目的 评价交感神经节与椎旁阻滞联合运用在脑中风康复治疗中的效果。方法 150例中风患者随机分为交感神经节与椎旁阻滞联合运用组（SGB组）和康复训练组（H组）。分别在治疗前、治疗后及随访期间，记录患者的体征、实验室检查及特殊检测结果。使用临床神经功能缺损程度评分标准及修订的巴氏指数（modified Barthel index，MBI）评测。采用t检验和卡方检验分析组间差异。结果 治疗1、3、6个月后，SGB组与H组总疗效均有改善，分别为H组：50％、60％、70％；SGB组：90％、95％、100％，SGB组疗效优于H组。两组比较，自觉症状、神经功能缺损改善程度有明显差异，生活活动能力改善程度差别不大。治疗前、后相比，SGB组收缩压、舒张压、局部皮温、血高切黏度、血低切黏度、PGA有改善，H组改变不明显；两组患者血浆黏度无明显改善。TCD显示，SGB组脑血流改善占85．3％，H组占14．3％。SGB组住院时间短于H组，住院费用不增加。结论 在脑中风康复治疗中，联合运用交感神经节与椎旁阻滞，疗效明显优于常规康复训练。

[目的]探讨影响颈椎后纵韧带骨化症前路手术疗效的相关因素。[方法]48例颈椎后纵韧带骨化症患者，行前路手术治疗，随访1～4年，平均2．1年。根据术后神经功能JOA评分改善率，将患者分为预后良好、预后不佳2组。采用多元Logistic回归分析患者年龄、性别、神经功能、症状持续时间、合并糖尿病、Pavlov值、椎管狭窄率、骨化物分型、CT双影征、脊髓高信号、手术范围以及骨化物处理对患者手术疗效的影响。[结果]骨化物的处理方式是影响患者疗效的唯一因素（P=0．0067）。[结论]前路手术彻底切除骨化之后纵韧带，对脊髓充分减压是前路手术治疗颈椎后纵韧带骨化症的关键。
