Objective To study the electrical stimulation motor evoked potentials in Arnoid Chiari malformation.Methods Electrical stimulation motor evoked potentials were recorded in 30 cases with Arnoid Chiari malformation proved by MRI.Results Abnormality rate of MEP was 96.7%,and the abnormal patterns mainly consisted of the delay of latency and the delay of central motor conduction time(CMCT). The change of MEP was connected with myodynamia and the type of Arnoid Chiari malformation .Conclusions The change of MEP is more sensitive than clinical change, and can indicate the damage of the motor function objectively and quantitatively, and MEP can be used as an objective criterion for surgical effect, and can predict the recovery of motor function.

AIM:To observe the effects of cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8) and its receptor antagonists on cAMP response element binding protein ( CREB) and phosphorylated CREB ( pCREB) expression in frontal cortex and hippocampus of morphine withdrawal rats , which aim to explore the post-receptor mechanism through which CCK-8 regu-lates morphine withdrawal .METHODS: After the morphine dependence and naloxone-precipitated withdrawal animal models were established, the effects of CCK-8, L-364718 (CCK1 receptor antagonist) and LY-288513 (CCK2 receptor an-tagonist) pretreatment on CREB and pCREB expression in frontal cortex and hippocampus were observed by Western blot -ting and immunohistochemistry .RESULTS:In rat frontal cortex neuron , CREB was expressed in both cytoplasm and nu-cleus, but pCREB was only highly expressed in the nucleus .In the pyramidal cell layer of hippocampal CA 1 region, CREB showed high expression in the cytoplasm and low expression in the nucleus , while pCREB was only expressed in the nu-cleus.No obvious change of CREB was observed after either chronic morphine treatment or naloxone withdrawal .The pCREB expression was increased after chronic morphine treatment and further increased after naloxone withdrawal .Com-pared with the withdrawal group , chronic pretreatment with CCK-8, L-364718 and LY-288513 had no effect on CREB expression in the frontal cortex , but obviously decreased the pCREB expression .In the hippocampus , pretreatment with L-364718 and LY-288513 decreased CREB and pCREB expression , but only the pCREB expression was decreased after CCK-8 treatment.CONCLUSION:CCK-8 and CCK receptor antagonists may alleviate morphine withdrawal symptoms by regulating CREB , with specificity in different brain regions .
