Iatrogenic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease subsequent to dural graft: persisting risk after 1987

The first case of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) related to the use of a dura mater graft of cadaveric origin was identified in 1987 and this procedure is now considered as one of the main causes of iatrogenic CJD. Although the decontamination procedure for the preparation of graft material was modified, the product was withdrawn from the market in many countries a few years later and replaced by synthetic material. In this context, two patients treated in our institution developed CJD following a cadaveric dural graft performed after cerebral and lumbar trauma. Their clinical presentation, showing predominant cerebellar symptoms, late deterioration and myoclonic jerks, and a rapid disease course until death, was similar to that of previously reported cases involving the iatrogenic form. As the graft for one of the patients was performed in 1991 (several years after modification of the decontamination procedure), this fourth reported case suggests that the risk of iatrogenic CJD may have persisted in some patients treated after 1987, when grafts of cadaveric origin were totally abandoned.     

硬脊膜动静脉瘘(附1例临床分析)

目的探讨硬脊膜动静脉瘘(SDAVF)的病因、发病机制、临床表现、诊断及治疗。方法回顾性分析了1例患者的相关临床资料。结果本例患者以双下肢渐进性麻木、无力1年余,加重伴大小便障碍9个月为主要临床表现,脊髓MRI显示T9~L1髓内以长T2长T1为主之异常信号,超选择DSA造影可见位于入LT12椎管处一硬脊膜动静脉之瘘口,成功地进行了经单侧椎板开窗夹闭瘘口术。结论SDAVF为一具有直接的动静脉交通性病变,常伴有小型畸形团,多发生于中年男性,误诊率高,主要表现为渐进性的肢体麻木、无力及大小便障碍,MRI有助于诊断,但仍须DSA确诊。阻断连接瘘口与冠状静脉丛的引流静脉是治疗SDAVF的有效方法,显微外科手术效果可靠、复发率低,尽早地确诊和治疗是取得良好疗效的根本前提。

MR imaging of dural arteriovenous malformations with ocular signs

Summary Four patients with dural arteriovenous malformation (AVMs) draining into the cavernous sinus, who presented ophthalmic manifestations, were studied by magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. In all patients signal decrease in the involved cavernous sinus was demonstrated in coronal spinecho (SE) imaging. It is attributable to rapid venous flow in the sinus, and this high velocity signal loss is a fairly pathognomonic finding in this condition. We stress the validity of MR imaging in the primary diagnosis of dural AVMs with ophthalmic symptoms.     

康脑液对脑缺血再灌注损伤大鼠软脑膜微循环的影响

目的 探讨康脑液对脑缺血再灌注损伤大鼠软脑膜微循环的干预作用.方法 大鼠分为2组,干预组每日以康脑液灌胃,对照组以生理盐水代替,连续18 d后,采用颈动脉引流法复制脑缺血再灌注损伤模型,用活体显微电视录像技术,观察软脑膜微循环变化,并以田牛氏加权积分法对流态进行分析.结果 ①康脑液可改善脑缺血再灌注时软脑膜微血流的流态：造模前微血流速度快,细动脉为线流,细静脉为线粒流,无红细胞聚集,两组间未见统计学差异（P〉0.05）.造模后模型组微血流速度显著变慢（P〈0.01）,多为粒流及粒缓流,重度红细胞聚集;微动脉血流明显减少,再灌注后渗出明显.康脑液组微血流速度也变慢,但流态变化较轻（P〈0.05）,多为线粒流及粒线流,红细胞聚集及渗出也较轻,其流态积分值显著低于模型组（P〈0.05～0.01）.②康脑液可拮抗脑缺血再灌注时微血管口径的收缩：造模后模型组微血管立即收缩,细动脉以脑缺血15～30 min及再灌注后15～120 min、细静脉以脑缺血15 min收缩显著（P〈0.05～0.01）,而康脑液组微血管口径变化不明显（P〉0.05）.两组比较,康脑液组软脑膜微血管口径缩窄明显较轻（P〈0.05～0.01）.③康脑液可改善脑缺血再灌注时毛细血管的关闭：造模后虽两组毛细血管交点计数均减少（P〈0.01）,但模型组可见毛细血管大量关闭,而康脑液组毛细血管交点数显著多于模型组（P〈0.05～0.01）.结论 康脑液能减轻大鼠脑缺血再灌注时软脑膜微循环障碍,表现为对脑缺血再灌注时的微血流变慢、红细胞聚集、微血管口径缩窄及毛细血管关闭具有很好的干预作用.     

内皮素对失血性休克鼠脑微循环的影响及尼莫地平、川芎嗪的治疗作用

利用大鼠颅骨开窗观察脑软膜微循环的方法研究了内皮素（ＥＴ－１）从１０－７～１０－１０Ｍ对脑软膜微循环的影响以及失血性休克时脑软膜对ＥＴ－１的反应性。并用１０－７Ｍ造成失血性休克后脑血管痉挛的模型，观察尼莫地平、川芎嗪、６５４－２内对皮素引起血管痉挛的治疗作用。结果显示：１０－９、１０－８、１０－７Ｍ三种浓度ＥＴ－１可使脑软膜小动脉、细动脉强烈收缩，收缩率分别为２７．７％、１６．８％、７８．５％，其收缩强度与ＥＴ－１的浓度有关。对静脉的作用不明显。１０－１０ＭＥＴ－１可使细动脉轻度扩张。出血性休克时，脑软膜血流明显减慢，小动脉、细动脉管径对ＥＴ－１的收缩作用更敏感，脑组织血流明显减少。尼莫地平具有较好的拮抗ＥＬ－１引起脑软膜动脉的收缩和改善局部微循环的作用。川芎嗪也能拮抗ＥＴ－１引起脑软膜动脉的收缩，但作用较尼莫地平弱。６５４－２不能缓解ＥＴ－１对脑软膜动脉的收缩作用。
