International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2015;23(4):301-305
As a special type of subarachnoid hemorrhage,the prognosis of non-aneurysmal perimesencephalic subarachnoid hemorrhage (NAPSAH) is good.In recent years,with the development and popularization of neuroimaging technology,people have gradually deepened the awareness of the disease.This article reviews the progress in the diagnosis and treatment of NAPSAH.
2.DESCENDING PROJECTIONS OF SUBSTANCE P-AND CHOLECYSTOKININ-CONTAINING NEURONS OF THE PERIAQUEDUCTAL GRAY AND EDINGER-WESTPHAL NUCLEUS TO THE SPINAL CORD——A STUDY WITH THE COMBINING METHOD OF TRACING WITH IMMUNOCYTOCHEMISTRY
Acta Anatomica Sinica 1953;0(01):-
Projections from substance P (SP)-and cholecystokinin (CCK) containing neurons in the periaqueductal gray(PAG)and Edinger-Westphal(E-W)nucleus to the spinal cord were studied by means of the combining method of HRP tracing with immunocytochemistry in rats. The results showed that a few neurons in the ventrolateral region of PAG projected bilaterally to the cervical, thoracic and lumbar segments of the spinal cord, with the predominant projections from the ipsilateral side. The authors reported that these descending projection neurons showed SP-like immunoreactivity for the first time(account for 48%). The neurons of E-W nucleus projected diffusely to all segments of the spinal cord contained SP (70%) or CCK (73%) respectively, suggesting that at least a part of E-W neurons projecting to the spinal cord contain both SP and CCK.

BACKGROUND:Knee osteoarthritis can be treated by total knee arthroplasty. To improve therapeutic effect and promote postoperative recovery, we should take effective measures to improve the joint space and postoperative range of motion.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the effectiveness and feasibility of posterior composite release of the knee joint after total knee arthroplasty.
METHODS:118 knee osteoarthritis patients undergoing unilateral total knee arthroplasty in two hospitals from December 2009 to December 2013 were selected, and were randomly divided into control group (59 cases) and observation group (59 cases). After osteotomy during operation, the control group underwent bone removal of conventional condylar hyperplasia. Observation group underwent posterior composite release of the knee joint. Postoperative extension, flexion gap and the time required for postoperative active flexion 90° and 120° were observed in the two groups. Hospital for Special Surgery Knee Score and maximum flexion angle were recorded in 3 months of fol ow up, and compared between the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Through the statistics and comparison, no significant difference in flexion gap was found between the two groups (P>0.05). However, significant differences in extension gap, the time for active flexion 90° and 120°and the maximum flexion angle were detectable between the two groups, and above indexes were better in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). Hospital for Special Surgery Knee Score of each index and total score were significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). These results suggest that rear joint composite release after total knee arthroplasty has certain validity and feasibility, can effectively improve knee extensor gap and the postoperative range of motion during replacement, but does not impact flexion gap during replacement.

The relationship between CCK-and VP-neurons in the rat retrochiasmatic area was studied at ultrastructural level by means of pre-embedding(PAP) double immunoelectron microscopic labeling technique. First, the VP-immunoreactivity was demonstrated by DAB method. After thoroughly washing, the CCK-immuno- reactivity was revealed by ammonium molybdate-TMB method. Being stabili- zed by DAB-cobalt chloride, the sections were embedded in Epon 812. Under ele- ctron microscope, it was observed that in the retrochiasmatic area, the VP-LI products distributed diffusely as high electron dense granular or flocculent depo- sits, whereas the CCK-LI products distributed sparsely as needle-or mass-like deposits. VP-LI perikarya were small in size with oval shape and CCK-LI peri- karya were medium in size with polygonal shape. CCK-LI perikarya and dendri- tes received afferent synapses from non-CCK- and non-VP-axonal terminals VP- LI axons received afferent synapses from VP and non-VP-axonal terminals It was interesting that the VP-LI axonal terminals formed efferent axoaxonic syna- pses with CCK-LI axonal endings and, vice versa, the CCK-LI axonal terminals established also efferent axoaxonic synapses with VP-LI axonal endings. The above mentioned results identified for the first time that in the rat retrochiasma- tic area not only there were CCK- and VP-neurons, but also there were reciprocal synaptic regulations between above two kinds of peptidergic neuron, providing new ultrastructural basis for the regulatory mechanism of the neuroendocrine in hypothalamus.

In order to clarify the regulatory mechanism of the neurohormone releasing in the neurohypophysis, the immunohistochemical and chemical lesion method were combined to demonstrate the vasopressin (VP)-and catecholamine (CA)-containing nerve terminals, and their distribution and relationship were observed under electron microscopic level. The results showed that in the rat neurohypophysis there were not only widely distributed VP nerve terminals, but also there were many 6-OHDA induced degenerated nerve endings. The close relationship even synapse-like contacts existed between the CA-ergic endings and pituicytes as well as microglial cells. It was very interesting that the CA-ergic boutons formed axoaxonic synapses with VP-containing boutons. In this case, the CA-bouton was presynaptic element whereas the VP-bouton served as postsynaptic element. The above mentioned results probably provided ultrastructural evidence for the regulatory mechanism of the neurohormone releasing in the neurohypophysis for the first time.

Using immunoelectron microscopic technique the SPergic autoregulatory synapses in the nucleus raphe magnus were studied. The results showed that there were SPlike perikarya and nerve fibers. The positive perikarya mainly were large polypolar cells. The positive fibers appeared as beaded-like and formed axodendritic synapses with SP-positive dendrites besides synapses formed with SP-negative structures. In the autoregulatory synapses the pre- and postsynaptic element were both labeled with immunoreactive products which precipitated at the periphery of small clear synaptic vesicles and the dendritic tubes, on the outer membrane of mitochondria, and in the cytoplasmic matrix. The pre- and postsynaptic membrane were symmetrical, and the synaptic vesicles aggregated near the presynaptic membrane. The synaptic cleft was about 20 nm in width and contained electron dense materials. The generality, structural characteristics and functional significance of the autoregulatory sysnapses were discussed.

Objective To explore the stability of unilateral external fixator for tibial fracture in its middle in condition of different distribution and number of screws. Methods The experiment model was made when eighteen human corpse tibial transverse fractures had been fixated with unilateral external fixation, which were divided into six groups. In each group, resistance fragments were adhered to be close to the transverse tibial fracture and near the screw-bone interface(SBI), including three screw distribution models, which were well distributed, close to and far off the fracture site distribution. Each model had also been accomplished according to the conditions of four and six screws before compression load of the same magnitude, the same direction and the same loading position. This method was used to observed the values of strain of SBI and axial displacement at the fracture site at grade load. Results ① Under compression condition, the models displacements and the force at Y-axial were the smallest when screw distribution was even in four or six screws and much better than those of four screws. ② The stability at the condition of six screws was stronger than that of four screws. Conclusion The even distribution of four screws is reasonable when tibial fractures are treated with unilateral external fixation, and six screws can be choosen if conditions permit.
