BACKGROUND: The assessment of chronic nerve root injury is mainly depend on indirect evidences of imaging results.OBJECTIVE: This study is designed to find out the relationship between the degrees of the pathological changes of nerve roots and motor evoked potential (MEP) changes due to chronic compression.DESIGN: A self-controlled trial with animals as subjects.SETTING: Spine Surgery Department of the Second Clinical Hospital of Jinan University.MATERIALS: The trial was completed in the Spinal Surgery Department of the Second Clinical Hospital of Jinan University from October 2001 to May 2003. The subjects were 30 healthy cats of either gender weighing 3 to 5 kg.INTERVENTIONS: The compression model was established by wedging a Ⅴ-shape bone flap into the right intervertebral foramens between C7, C8 and T1 vertebrae. The left foramens served as controls. The cats underwent CT examination on the 2nd, 4th, 8th and 12th postoperative week to show the foramen changes. Six randomly selected cats underwent magnetic stimulation MEP each time on the 2nd, 4th, 8th, 12th and 24th week. The injuries to the compressed nerve roots were assessed according to Mackinnon Standard and they were compared with the MEP wave.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Whether the superficial magnetic stimulated MEP monitoring result was in correspondence with the pathological changes of the chronically compressed nerve roots.RESULTS: The MEP did not show any abnormal changes for Grade Ⅰ injury prolonged to 9.6- 10. 2 ms. There was almost no evoke potential at all stimulation points for grade Ⅴ nerve root injury.CONCLUSION: That the injured nerve root presents dysesthesia and normal MEP results suggests grade Ⅰ injury. Prolonged latency including prolonged F wave suggests grade Ⅱ injury. And additional amplitude decrease together with widened and unclassifiable waves implies the injury be grade Ⅲ. The prominent features of grade Ⅳ nerve injury is much more decreased amplitudes and more prolonged latency. For grade Ⅴ injury there is always disappearance of whole MEP or some potential components. The superficial magnetic stimulated MEP monitoring results are in correspondence with the pathological changes of the nerve roots due to chronic compression, which means MEP monitoring results could serve as the quantitative indication to pathological changes of nerve injury.

BACKGROUND: Many clinical cases have proved that the satisfactory reposition, fusion and internal fixation in the internal fixation for inferior lumbar spondylolisthesis are not consistent with the postoperative symptoms and physical signs, and functional restoration.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the application of somatosensory evoked potential(SEP) in the monitoring during internal fixation for inferior lumbar spondylolisthesis, and the effects of SEP monitoring on the improvement of postoperative symptoms and the spinal functions as well.DESIGN: A randomized controlled trial.SETTING: Inpatient department of spinal surgery, an affiliated hospital of a university. PARTICIPANTS: Fifty-two patients with inferior lumbar spomlylolisthesis including 23 male and 29 female cases aged between 18 and 68 years old were admitted by the Department of Spinal Surgery, Second Affiliated Hospital(Shenzhen People's Hospital) of Jinan University, from June 2000 to December 2003. All cases were randomly divided into control group(n = 20) and monitor group ( n = 32).METHODS: SEP induced by segmental stimulation in cutaneous nerve was used in the control group for preoperative and intraoperative monitoring, and postoperative follow up. The intraoperative potential changes in patients with excellent and good improvement in postoperative functions had been retrospectively investigated to confirm the effective indices for intraoperative monitoring, which thereby provided references for intraoperative monitoring in patients of monitor group.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Evaluation of postoperative spinal function; ② SEP latency and amplitude.RESULTS: SEP values after postoperative anesthesia were set as basis.The manifestations of intraoperative potential alterations: ① If the latency reduced 10% -15% or the amplitude increases more than 40% after fixation, it suggested favorable prognosis; ② The potential indices were stable during monitoring, or the reduction of latency was less than 10%,or the increase of amplitude was less than 30%, the fixation could be continued, and partial functions of nerve root and symptoms could be improved after surgery; ③ During the surgery, if potential indices had transient lluctuation, which could be recovered to basic potential within 15 to 20 minutes, fixation should be stopped during the fluctuation. Still partial functions of nerve root and symptoms could be improved after surgery; ④If the intraoperative latency prolonged more than 5%, or amplitude reduced more than 10%, or part of the components disappeared, or the wave shape dispersed, it might suggest postoperative aggravation of pain and dyskinesia. So intraoperative adjustment was necessary. The coincident rate of the improvement of the indices of intraoperative monitoring and the improvement of postoperative spinal function reached 93.75%.CONCLUSION: SEP induced by segrmental stimulation in cutaneous nerve is an objective and effective method in the monitoring and instruction of decompression, reposition, fixation of internal fixation for inferior lumbar spondylolisthesis, which has important merits in the improvement of the function of nerve root and the restoration of spinal function.
