Abstract:
Five hundred and twelve patients with psudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy underwent rapidly minimally invasive muscle biopsy with TZ semi-automatic biopsy needle under intravenous anesthesia. Three hundred and seventy nine samples were taken from quadriceps femoris muscle, while other 133 samples were taken from the deltoid muscle. The pathological diagnosis was obtained in all patients and there were no complications after biopsy. The results indicated that this method was simple, safe, effective, indolent, and minimally invasive. The obtained muscle samples can meet the request of histopathological and immunohistochemical examination and the method should be recommended for clinical applicatioa.
