Neural prosthesis is based on brain-computer interface (BCI), which directly acts on the muscle system or an external device by analyzing EEG control commands, so as to compensate the efferent pathway of brain-spinal cord-muscle and recover motor function of patients with spinal cord injury. The technology involves comprehensive research of multiple disciplines such as brain science, cognitive neuroscience, biomedical engineering, information and communication engineering, control science and engineering. This paper reviews recent advances of neural prosthesis in the rehabilitation treatment of patients with spinal cord injury. DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1672-6731.2017.06.002

Objective To explore the rehabilitation effect of motor imagery therapy on cognitive function of stroke patients. Methods A total of 99 stroke patients with mild to moderate cognitive dysfunction were randomly divided into 3 groups: control group (N = 33), cognitive training group (N = 33) and motor imagery training group (N = 33). All patients received conventional rehabilitation training. Before and after 8-week training, all subjects were assessed with Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). At the same time, event-related potential (ERP) was examined to detect P300 latency and amplitude. Results ompared with before training, MMSE ( P = 0.000) and MoCA ( P = 0.000) scores were significantly increased, P300 latency was shortened ( P = 0.000) and P300 amplitude was increased ( P = 0.000) in 3 groups after 8 - week training. There were significant differences among 3 groups on MMSE ( P = 0.030) and MoCA ( P = 0.013) scores, P300 latency ( P = 0.004) and P300 amplitude ( P = 0.009) before and after training. Among them, cognitive training group and motor imagery training group had significantly higher MMSE ( P = 0.019, 0.021) and MoCA ( P = 0.003, 0.031) scores, shorter P300 latency ( P = 0.020, 0.003) and higher P300 amplitude ( P = 0.003, 0.002) than control group. Conclusions Motor imagery training can not only improve motor function of stroke patients, but also improve their cognitive function. DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1672-6731.2017.06.005

Objective To investigate the effect of respiratory function training on respiratory function and conscious state of patients with severe cerebrovascular disease (SCVD). Methods A total of 27 patients with SCVD were divided into control group (N = 17) and observation group (N = 10). Control group received routine drug and rehabilitation treatment, and observation group was added respiratory function training based on routine treatment. The respiratory rate, tidal volume (TV), heart rate, blood pressure and artery oxygen saturation (SaO 2 ) of patients were monitored by breathing machine before and after 4-week treatment. Meanwhile, arterial blood gas analysis was used to detect arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO 2 ), oxygenation index, partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO 2 ) and pH value. At the same time, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) was used to evaluate the conscious state of patients. Results All patients successfully completed 4-week rehabilitation training, without asphyxia, arrhythmia or other adverse events. Compared with before training, the respiratory rate ( P = 0.006) and pH value ( P = 0.010) were significantly decreased, while SaO 2 ( P = 0.001), oxygenation index ( P = 0.000) and GCS scores ( P = 0.004, 0.017) were significantly increased in both groups of patients after training. There was no statistically significant difference between 2 groups on respiratory function indexes and GCS scores after training ( P > 0.05, for all). Conclusions Respiratory function training did not significantly improve the respiratory function and conscious state of patients with SCVD, yet to be further studied. Randomized controlled clinical trials with larger, layered samples and long-term prognosis observation are needed. Examination method of respiratory function of SCVD patients is also a topic to be explored. DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1672-6731.2017.04.007

The patient, a 28 year old male, was admitted to our outpatient clinic on February 19, 2016 due to progressive weakness of the distal right upper limb with muscle atrophy for 5 years. 5 years ago, the patient had no obvious cause of weakness in the right hand fingers, which worsened during cold weather. Gradually, the right hand fingers became clumsy and unable to move together, and fine movements such as threading needles and wires were significantly restricted. The symptoms persisted without significant relief, accompanied by atrophy of the right hand muscles, no obvious jumping sensation, normal movement of other limbs, no pain, numbness or other sensory abnormalities, no speech disorders, swallowing difficulties, etc. Since the onset of the disease, the patient's mental state, sleep, and diet have been moderate, with no significant abnormalities in bowel and bowel movements, and no significant changes in weight. There is no special history in the past, personal history, or family history. The individual reported significant height growth between the ages of 15 and 18 (specific details are not available). Physical examination after admission: The patient's body temperature is 36.7 ° C, pulse rate is 71 times/min, respiration is 16 times/min, blood pressure is 115/65 mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa); Clear consciousness, fluent language, with equal and round pupils on both sides, with a diameter of approximately 3 mm. No obvious abnormalities were found in the nervous system during physical examination; Atrophy of the thenar and interosseous muscles in the right hand, no obvious muscle atrophy in the left hand, and tremors in the hand muscles can be observed when extending the hands. The distal muscle strength of the right upper limb is 3+to 4 levels, and the muscle tension is reduced. The proximal and left limb muscle strength is 5 levels, and the muscle tension is normal. The radial periosteal reflex, biceps reflex, and triceps reflex in the right upper limb are strongly positive, while the left upper limb is positive. Both Hoffmann and Babinski signs are negative, No obvious abnormalities were observed in the ataxia and deep and shallow sensations, and the meningeal stimulation sign was negative. All indicators tested in the laboratory are within the normal range. Imaging examination: Cervical MRI (February 24, 2016) showed mild thinning of the C6-7 level spinal cord with irregular abnormal signals, forward displacement of the posterior wall of the dural sac, and widening of the dorsal epidural space (Figure 1). No obvious abnormalities were found on the MRI of the head. Electrophysiological examination: Electromyography (February 25, 2016) showed neurogenic damage in both upper limbs, mainly chronic damage, involving bilateral C7-T1 innervated muscles, especially on the right side. The first consideration was damage to the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord (Figure 2). The clinical diagnosis is Hirayama disease. Vitamin B12 25 administered μ G

Objective To analyze the correlation between tortuosity of extracranial internal carotid artery (EICA) and extracranial vertebral artery (EVA) and acute ischemic stroke, so as to discuss the causes of vascular tortuosity and the mechanism on inducing stroke. Methods This study included 103 patients with acute ischemic stroke and 103 patients without acute ischemic stroke whose manifestations were headache and dizziness. CTA was used to measure the tortuosity index (TI), deviation degree (DD), tortuosity degree (TD) and angular number (AN) of EICA and EVA. Pearson correlation analysis and Spearman rank correlation analysis were used to analyze the correlations of arterial tortuosity with risk factors for ischemic stroke and vascular morphology. Univariate and stepwise multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to screen related risk factors for tortuosity of EICA and EVA. Results The stroke group had higher TI ( P = 0.000, 0.000), DD ( P = 0.000, 0.000), TD ( P = 0.002, 0.000) and AN ( P =0.019, 0.000) of EICA and EVA than those in control group. According to the site of infarction, the stroke group was divided into anterior circulation infarction (ACI) subgroup (N = 73) and posterior circulation infarction (PCI) subgroup (N = 30), and there was no significant difference in above-mentioned vascular morphological indexes between 2 subgroups ( P > 0.05, for all); in each subgroup, there was no significant difference between infarct side and non-infarct side of EICA, and between left and right EVA ( P > 0.05, for all). Nevertheless, the TI ( P = 0.000), DD ( P = 0.000) and TD ( P = 0.045) of EICA in ACI subgroup were higher than those in control group; TI ( P = 0.000), DD ( P = 0.000), TD ( P = 0.000) and AN ( P = 0.046) of EVA in PCI subgroup were higher than those in control group. In stroke group, correlation analysis revealed that TI of EICA was positively correlated with age, cervical artery atherosclerosis (CAS), EICA and EVA morphological indexes (except DD of EVA; P < 0.05, for all), but was negatively correlated with male ( r s = -0.253, P = 0.010); TI of EVA was positively correlated with age, hypertension, morphological indexes of EICA and EVA ( P < 0.05, for all), but negatively correlated with male ( r s =-0.276, P = 0.005). Univariate and stepwise multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that female (EICA: OR = 1.458, 95% CI: 1.111-5.166, P = 0.016; EVA: OR = 9.092,95%CI: 1.294-63.872, P = 0.026) and age (EICA: O R = 1.050, 95%CI: 1.013-1.088, P = 0.007; EVA: OR = 1.084, 95%CI: 1.003-1.138, P = 0.001) were independent risk factors for tortuosity of EICA and EVA. Conclusions There are no significant differences between left and right side, anterior and posterior circulation on tortuosity distribution of patients with ischemic stroke.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive and painless neuroelectrophysiological examination technology. TMS-motor evoked potential (TMS-MEP) is widely used to assess motor cortex excitability and conduction of descending corticobulbar tract and corticospinal tract. Recently, deeper understanding on principles of magnetic stimulation and diversification of stimulation coil and pattern has greatly expanded the application of TMS in clinical diagnosis. Moreover, MEP operation procedures are becoming more scientific and standardized. This paper reviews the progress of conventional diagnostic TMS pattern, several special stimulation patterns and the combined application of TMS, electroencephalograpy (EEG) and fMRI.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of berberine chloride on secondary damage (inflammation, oxidative damage and neuron loss) in bilateral thalami of traumatic brain injury (TBI) model mice. Methods Mice were randomly divided into 3 groups: control group (N = 6), TBI group (N = 6) and berberine group (N = 6). TBI model was established by a free-falling hitting device. In control group, mice were not given free-falling hitting. Mice in berberine group were given a gavage of berberine chloride [50 mg/(kg·d)] for 21 d, while mice in TBI group were given the same dosage of normal saline for 21 d. Immunohistochemistry was used to count the number of neurons or gliocytes positive for inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), 8-hydroxy deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and neuronal nuclei (NeuN), the number of astrocytes positive for glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and the number of microglias positive for ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule 1 (Iba1). Results The number of neurons or gliocytes positive for iNOS ( P = 0.015), COX-2 ( P = 0.022), 8-OHdG ( P = 0.000) and NeuN ( P = 0.000), the number of astrocytes positive for GFAP ( P = 0.024) and microglias positive for Iba1 ( P = 0.000) in TBI ipsilateral thalamus were significantly different among 3 groups. In TBI group, the number of neurons or gliocytes positive for iNOS ( P = 0.005), COX-2 ( P = 0.011) and 8-OHdG ( P = 0.000), the number of astrocytes positive for GFAP ( P = 0.011) and microglias positive for Iba1 ( P = 0.000) were significantly higher than those in control group, while the number of neurons positive for NeuN ( P = 0.000) was significantly lower than that in control group. In berberine group, the number of neurons or gliocytes positive for iNOS ( P = 0.031), COX-2 ( P = 0.024) and 8-OHdG ( P = 0.008), the number of astrocytes positive for GFAP ( P = 0.031) and microglias positive for Iba1 ( P = 0.012) were significantly lower than those in TBI group, while the number of neurons positive for 8-OHdG ( P = 0.014) and microglias positive for Iba1 ( P = 0.024) were significantly higher than those in control group. The number of neurons positive for NeuN in berberine group was significantly higher than that in TBI group ( P = 0.016), while lower than that in control group ( P = 0.027). Additionally, number of neurons or gliocytes positive for COX-2 ( P = 0.029) and 8-OHdG ( P = 0.000) in TBI contralateral thalamus were significantly different among 3 groups. The number of neurons or gliocytes positive for COX-2 ( P = 0.011) and 8-OHdG ( P = 0.000) in TBI group was significantly higher than that in control group, while the number of neurons or gliocytes positive for COX-2 ( P = 0.047) and 8-OHdG ( P = 0.010) in berberine group was significantly lower than that in TBI group. The number of neurons positive for 8-OHdG in berberine group was significantly higher than that in control group ( P = 0.004). Conclusions TBI could cause secondary damage of bila
