Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2010;16(11):1031-1033
ObjectiveTo observe the survival and pathway of regenerative axons of spinal motoneurons following root injury of brachial plexus (BPI) and to investigate the correlation between the pathway of regenerative axons and the recovery of motor function. Methods48 adult male SD rats were randomly divided into four groups: crush group, cut group, avulsion group and the control group. 2 months later, the functional recovery was evaluated with Grooming test. Fluorogold labeled regenerative motoneurons retrogradely when injected into the motor or sensory branch of musculocutaneous nerve. 3 d later, the C5-8 spinal cord were harvested and the regenerative motoneurons were counted. The survival neurons were counted with neutral red staining. ResultsThe number of survival neurons in the cut group (1005±89) were more than that of the avulsion group (881±76), but less than the crush group (1126±25). The control group was the most (1900±39). The regenerative motoneurons reinnervated motor branch were much more than that of the sensory branch in all groups. For the Grooming test, the grade in the crush group (3.42) was much higher than that of the avulsion (1.75) and cut (1.75) group. ConclusionRegenerative axons of spinal motoneurons reinnervate the motor branch after BPI. The number of survival neurons is different after different injuries, which associated with the motor functional recovery.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics, treatment, and factors of recurrence of abdominal wall endometrioms ( AWE). Methods 19 cases of AWE diagnosed at Shaoxing People' s Hospital from January 2005 to April 2009 were reviewed retrospectively. Results All patients had a history of cesarean section. Eleven patients (57.9%) had the typical complaint of an enlarging mass and pain during menstruation. All patients received surgical excision and postoperative adjuvant therapy of gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) or Mifepristone treatment for 6 months. The diagnosis was confirmed by histological examination in all patients. At follow- up, ranging from 1 month to 3 years, there was 1 case of recurrence of endometrioms during a follow -up of 2 years. Conclusion AWE could be diagnosed easily by its typical clinical manifestations preoperatively. Sonography or MRI may be helpful in identifying the exact anatomical location of the lesion and in excluding other surgical conditions, however it lacks specificness. Surgical excision is the only effective treatment, and complete and wide local excision is the key point to prevent recurrence. Combination surgical excision with postoperative adjuvant therapy might reduce the recurrence, although its effectiveness need being testified in the future.
