Chinese Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation 2011;33(9):648-651
Objective To study the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on rats'locomotor function after hemisectional spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods A model of hemisectional SCI was established at the T10 segment in 12 rats,which were then randomly divided into an SCI-rTMS group and an SCI-control group.Another 6 rats served as normal controls.The SCI-rTMS group received threshold rTMS daily for 4 weeks,while the SCI-control group was given sham rTMS.The normal control group was left without any treatment.BassoBeatti-Bresnahan (BBB) locomotor scores were recorded weekly.Motor evoked potential (MEP) was detected at the 28th day after the operation.Neurofilament-200 (NF-200) was detected with immunofluorescent staining of the spinal cord lesions. Results The BBB scores in the SCI-rTMS group improved more than those in the SCI-control group.MEP of the fight hindlimb was detected in the rTMS group,but not in the control group.Expression of NF-200 marker increased significantly more than in the rTMS group. Conclusions rTMS can improve locomotor function of rats after spinal cord hemisectioning,which may result from increased expression of NF-200 and the regeneration of axons.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of three-dimensional navigation template assisted osteotomy for fracture malunion of lateral condyle of humerus in children.Methods:Eighteen children with ma-lunion of fracture of lateral condyle of humerus were treated in Southern Medical University Third Affiliated Hospital from August 2012 to December 2019 and analyzed retrospectively.Among them, 12 cases were treated with routine ope-ration: according to CT reconstruction and empirical osteotomy during the operation, the location of deformity was analyzed.Six cases were treated with navigation template assisted osteotomy: according to the CT data of bilateral elbow joints, a three-dimensional bone model was established, and the coronal and sagittal deformities of the distal humerus were evaluated by comparing the images of the distal humerus of the affected side with the distal humerus of the healthy side, so as to determine the best plane of osteotomy and the target position of reduction.The preoperative simulation was carried out on the computer, and the osteotomy navigation template and reduction navigation template were designed.The navigation template was printed out with a 3D printer.During the operation, the osteotomy was corrected with the assistance of navigation template, and the broken end of osteotomy was fixed with hollow screw and fixed with 80 degree flexion plaster.The X-ray films of the two groups were reexamined regularly after operation.The amount of intraoperative blood loss, operation time, incidence of postoperative complications (necrosis of humeral head and trochlea, delayed ulnar nerve paralysis, and bone nonunion) and the recovery of flexion and the extension function of elbow joint were observed in the 2 groups.Results:The elbow joint activity of all children basically returned to normal, the orthopedic site of osteotomy achieved bony healing, and the orthopedic effects were satisfactory.All the 18 cases were followed up for 6-24 months (mean 15 months). According to the postoperative Dhillon score, the navigation template group was excellent in 1 case and better in 5 cases, while in the routine group, 11 cases were batter and 1 case was fair.There were no significant differences in Dhillon score between the 2 groups after operation ( P>0.05). There were no significant differences in the range of the motion of elbow joint between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). In the comparison of operation time and intraoperative blood loss, the navigation template group [(200.0±24.2) min, (85.0±10.9) mL]was better than the routine group[(232.0±20.1) min, (139.1±18.3) mL](all P<0.001). Conclusions:The application of three-dimensional humerus reconstruction and mirror image contrast to evaluate the distal humerus deformity of the affected side, and the design of osteotomy and reduction navigation template auxiliary operation can restore the normal anatomical structure of elbow joint to the greatest extent.Accurate correction, and the function of elbow joint recover well after operation, which optimizes the operation procedure, improves the safety and effectiveness of the operation.

BACKGROUND: At present, international classification of diseases by WHO, cerebrovascular disease classification used in China and TOAST classification used abroad are all based on patho-physiology. There is no report about human cerebral infarction by magnetic imaging types in Beijing and other areas.OBJECTIVE: To analyze retrospectively the subtype distribution of acute cerebral infarction of patients in Beijing by magnetic resonance imaging in order to make Beijing patients with acute ischemic stroke receive more exact and individualized treatment.DESIGN: Retrospective case study.SETTING: Department of Neurology, General Hospital of Beijing Military Area Command of Chinese PLA.PARTICIPANTS: The study was carried out in General Hospital of Beijing Military Area Command of Chinese PLA, Beijing Sino-Japan Friendship Hospital, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Beijing Naval General Hospital and Beijing Jishuitan Hospital between January and December 2004. Totally 602 inpatients with ischemic stroke who received treatment in each hospital were recruited. They were 352 male and 250 female with average age of (65.6±10.2) years.METHODS: The 602 patients with acute ischemic cerebral stroke who received the treatment in the 5 hospitals from Dongcheng, Xicheng,Chaoyang and Haidian districts in Beijing were recruited in the study. According to results of magnetic resonance imaging of brain, the maximal infarction area were determined. The patients were classified as: large infarction: over 1 lobe of brain, > 5.0 cm in diameter; moderate infarction: less than 1 lobe of brain, 3.1-5.0 cm; small infarction: 1.6-3.0 cm; lacunar infarction, < 1.5 cm.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Constitution ratio of MRI classification of patients in each groupRESULTS: Totally 602 patients with ischemic stroke participanted in final result analysis. Among the patients with acute cerebral infarction of 5 hospitals in Beijing, 280 (46.5%) suffered from lacunar infarction, 299(38.1%) from small infarction, 57 (9.4%) from moderate infarction, and 36 (6%) from large infarction. There were significant differences between lacunar infarction and other types (P < 0.01).CONCLUSION: Acute cerebral infarction of patients of Beijing mostly occurs in the type of lacunar infarction. It suggests that small arterial diseases are the major disease type of ischemic stroke in Beijing. This MRI classfication can be used for early classification, treatment guidance, evaluation and prognosis of acute ischemic cerebral stroke.

Objective We conducted a study using MRI and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring(ABPM) to determine whether an inapporpriately low nocturnal blood pressure,or an excess fall in nocturnal blood pressure,might be responsible for lacunar infarct.Method ABPM and Casul blood pressure(CBP) were examined in 35 hypertentives with lacunar infarct( LI) and 33 hypertentives without lacunar infarct as control group.Results There is no significant difference of CBP between two groups.But the mean nighttime systolic blood pressure(nSBP) and diastolic blood pressure(nDBP) in patients with lacunar infarct were significantly smaller than in patients without lacunar infarct.The ratio of nSBP/dSBP and nDBP/dDBP in SI were smaller than in control group respectively.Conclusions The results indicate that an inappropriately low nocturnal blood pressure,or an excessive fall in nocturnal blood pressure,is associated with lacunar infarct.It is necessary not only to controlhigh blood pressure but also to pay attention to circadian changes of blood pressure during the course of anti-hypertensive treatment.
