The electromyographic (EMG) responses to tendon taps at the ankle and ensuing muscular twitch forces and temporal parameters were studied at varying angles across the joint range in 18 children, aged 3 to 14.9 years, with congenital hemiparetic cerebral palsy and 22 healthy (control) children, aged 3 to 13.6 years. Those subjects with hemiparesis were community ambulators without assistance. In all subjects, passive muscle stretch caused a waxing of the reflex EMG and twitch force near neutral (with the sole of the foot at right angles to the tibia) and a diminution of these with further dorsiflexion. Twitch times increased with each dorsiflexing increment, being slowest at maximum dorsiflexion and fastest at the resting plantarflexion angle. Heterogeneity of the hemiparetic-limb data is evident when compared with data of non-paretic and unaffected limbs, with clear differences in the clonic (fast twitch) as opposed to non-clonic (slow twitch) muscles. In four cases with clinical clonus, clonus frequency was reduced by passive dorsiflexion. Plaster immobilization for 1 month produced clonus which was previously absent in one subject, and caused a fast-twitch phenotype to emerge in two subjects. Follow-up after heel-cord lengthening in one subject showed that clonus frequency diminished from 9 to 3 Hz with slowing and strengthening of muscle-twitch phenotype. Short- and long-term peripheral manipulations appear to regulate neuromuscular excitability according to whether muscles are loaded or unloaded. Although damage to the nervous system provides the setting for reflex excitability, the data suggest that the muscle length (which specifies the joint angle) and the muscle-twitch phenotype of any given limb for any given case appear to dictate the actual speed and strength of reflex muscle-twitch and clonus profiles. This study illustrates how peripheral manipulations of muscles and tendons may alter the expression of what have hitherto been considered as exclusively central phenomena. 相似文献

Bovine papillomaviruses have a major contribution to make in unravelling the mechanisms of oncogenesis by this group. Most papillomaviruses can exert their biologic effect only in vivo, but several of the bovine types transform fibroblasts in culture; the altered cells have measurable attributes such as anchorage independence, density inhibition, and tumorigenicity in nude mice. Another important feature is that subgenomic fractions of DNA can be transfected into cells and elicit transformation. It is, therefore, possible to undertake quantitative molecular biologic and genetic studies in a way which is impossible with most papillomaviruses. Large amounts of virus can be obtained from bovine tumors. The six currently characterized viruses have all been cloned by recombinant techniques, and are the subject of intensive comparative research in many laboratories. 相似文献

Rationale, aims and objectives Adverse events still occur despite ongoing efforts to reduce harm to patients. Contributory factors to adverse events are often due to limitations in clinicians’ non‐technical skills (e.g. communication, situation awareness), rather than deficiencies in technical competence. We developed a behavioural rating system to provide a structured means for teaching and assessing scrub practitioners’ (i.e. nurse, technician, operating department practitioner) non‐technical skills. Method Psychologists facilitated focus groups (n = 4) with experienced scrub practitioners (n = 16; 4 in each group) to develop a preliminary taxonomy. Focus groups reviewed lists of non‐technical‐skill‐related behaviours that were extracted from an interview study. The focus groups labelled skill categories and elements and also provided examples of good and poor behaviours for those skills. An expert panel (n = 2 psychologists; n = 1 expert nurse) then used an iterative process to individually and collaboratively review and refine those data to produce a prototype skills taxonomy. Results A preliminary taxonomy containing eight non‐technical skill categories with 28 underlying elements was produced. The expert panel reduced this to three categories (situation awareness, communication and teamwork, task management), each with three underlying elements. The system was called the Scrub Practitioners’ List of Intraoperative Non‐Technical Skills system. A scoring system and a user handbook were also developed. Conclusion A prototype behavioural rating system for scrub practitioners’ non‐technical skills was developed, to aid in teaching and providing formative assessment. This important aspect of performance is not currently explicitly addressed in any educational route to qualify as a scrub practitioner. 相似文献

This paper describes a retrospective study of the clinical aspects and treatment of 566 women with cyclical breast pain over a seven-year period. Figures for the effectiveness of simple treatments including some homeopathic drugs are reported. The article concludes that reassurance is the fundamental treatment. Good responses are obtained from simple and safe drugs (oil of evening primrose, vitamin B6) with minimal side-effects. The use of stronger hormone drugs such as tamoxifen and danazol was only necessary in a small proportion of patients and resulted in a higher incidence of side-effects. 相似文献
