摘要:

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cyclic adenosine-3’,5’-monophosphate (cAMP) was measured in rabbits after experimental brain injury as well as in patients with cerebral contusion and cerebral concussion. In rabbits a marked elevation lasting for two weeks was observed. From the third week onwards after the injury the CSF cAMP concentration was lower than the basal level before the injury. Dexamethasone partly inhibited the elevation. Ethanol treatment decreased the CSF cAMP values. In man, the CSF cAMP concentration was significantly higher in patients with cerebral contusion than in those with cerebral concussion. Also in the latter group the cAMP values were higher than in control patients. Due to the clear differences between the various groups, measurement of cAMP concentration in CSF might have diagnostic value in evaluation of the severity of cerebral lesion in the acute phase. Also the activities of some enzymes were measured, and the results were parallel with cAMP changes but less strik

摘要:

In the CSFs from 13 out of 30 phenytoin-treated patients the IgG concentrations were lower than the lowest among 20 controls, while only 3 out of 37 patients with brain lesions without epilepsy had so low IgG value. Titers of IgG antibodies to rabbit erythrocytes were similar in the three groups. It should be kept in mind, when evaluating results of IgG determinations in clinical neurology, that reduced IgG may be a consequence of phenytoin treatment. Reduced IgG concentrations without reduction of an antibody belonging to the IgG class indicate that the suppression of immunoglobulin synthesis by phenytoin may be selective.

摘要:

The electrocardiogram was analyzed in 31 patients with motor neurone disease. ECG abnormalities were encountered in 27 of the patients. The dominating ECG changes consisted of ST-T wave changes and supraventricular arrhythmias. The underlying mechanisms are discussed in relation to the neurological symptomatology.

摘要:

On the experience of long-lasting personal observation of 350 myasthenic patients the author has applied the ‘disability status scale’ (known as Kurtzke or Bronx scale in multiple sclerosis practice) for myasthenia gravis. This system renders the quantitative evaluation of the different parameters possible. There are ten grades of gravity (from 1 to 10) and six functional systems (ocular, facial, bulbar, sceletal, respiratory and other functio

摘要:

The greater decrease of conduction velocity in sensory than in motor fibres of the peroneal, median and ulnar nerves (particularly in the digital segments) found in patients with chronic carbon disulphide poisoning, permitted the diagnosis of polyneuropathy to be made in the subclinical stage, even while the conduction in motor fibres was still within normal limits. A process of axonal degeneration is presumed to underlie occurrence of neuropathy consequent to carbon disulphide poisoning.
