Objective To study the nerve conduction abnormality and its relationship with Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument in Diabetic ployneuropathy patients. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the nerve conduction study and Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument ( MNSI) in 36 in-house diabetic polynneuropathy patients between Jan 2015 to Dec 2016. Results In this retrospective study including 36 diabetic polyneuropathy patients,nerve conduction abnormalities are more common in lower limb than upper limb (100% vs 83. 3% ),sensory nerve abnormalities more com-mon than motor (100% vs 83. 3% ),and decreased SNAP amplitude was present in all patients (36/36,100% );slowed MCV was the most common motor nerve abnormality;Nerve conduction study score (NCSS) statistically correlated with MN-SI (P<0. 01). Conclusion Decreased SNAP amplitude and mildly slowed MCV in lower and upper limbs are common in diabetic polyneuropathy;the combined score of nerve conduction abnormalities is correlated significantly with MNSI and could be a disease follow-up biomarker.
Objective To investigate the clinical,imaging,intestinal pathological characteristics and prognosis of gluten ataxia (GA).Methods The clinical data,treatment and prognosis in a patient with GA that was confirmed by pathology and hospitalized in the Department of Neurology,China-Japan Friendship Hospital in July 2018,were analyzed retrospectively.The related literature was reviewed and the clinical feature was summarized.Results The patient is a 41-year old man.He suffered from progressive cerebellar ataxia,and the brain magnetic resonance imaging exhibited diffused cerebellar atrophy.Serum human leukocyte antigen (HLA) tests showed that the patient carried HLA-DQ2 genotype.IgA type anti-gliadin antibody was positive (39.39 RU/ml).Duodenoscopy biopsy revealed mild villus atrophy and lymphocytic infiltration,indicating celiac disease.The diagnosis of GA was established then and the patient was administered gluten-free diet combined with intravenous immunoglobulin,which markedly improved the cerebellar symptoms and signs of cerebellar speech,walk capability and daily living activities.He could do long distance driving independently two months later.Conclusions GA is one of immune-mediated reversible acquired cerebellar ataxia caused by gluten sensitivity.The genotype,serologic features,and clinical phenotype of GA in Chinese mainland population might be similar with those in European and American countries.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the clinical, electrophysiological and imaging features of a patient with Krabbe disease caused by GALC mutation.METHODS:A comprehensive analysis including clinical investigation and genetic testing was carried out.RESULTS:The patient presented with peripheral neuropathy with electrophysiological anomaly suggestive of asymmetric demyelinating neuropathy. Brain imaging revealed leukoencephalopathy. Genetic analysis has identified compound heterozygous mutations in exons 5 and 11 of the GALC gene, namely c.461C>A and c.1244G>A.CONCLUSION:Krabbe disease is a group of disorders featuring substantial phenotypic heterogeneity. Genetic and enzyme testing has become indispensable for accurate diagnosis for this disease.
leus (1 case ) and sensory ataxia (1 case ) . Abnormal T2 signal in the posterior cord was detected by spinal M RI in 1 case. Lung mass was demonstrated in 2 cases by chest CT study and tumor was confirmed in one case by biopsy. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examination showed normal white blood cell counts and normal protein level in all the subjects. All cases were anti‐Hu antibody positive in both serum and CSF samples. On neural electrophysiological examination , all cases had decreased sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) amplitude , with decreased motor nerve conduction velocity in 2 cases. All the patients had abnormal sympathetic skin response. T he patient w ho had lung cancer received tumor therapy ; one patient with negative PET‐CT study had immunotherapy.Conclusions Neuropathy patients associated with anti‐Hu antibodies commonly present as subacute painful sensory neuropathy and autonomic symptoms , anti‐Hu antibody testing is helpful for the diagnosis. Lung tumor screen and early therapy could partly resolve the neuropathy symptoms.
Objective To investigate the risk factors of diabetic peripheral nephropathy (DPN) and diabetic nephropathy (DN) in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and the relationship between DN and DPN. Method Retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 365 patients with type 2 diabetes. These patients were divided into no diabetic peripheral neuropathy (NDPN) group and DPN group according to the results of electromyography. The differences in renal biochemical markers and the prevalence of DN were compared between the two groups. According to the urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER) and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), refer to the Mogensen diabetic nephropathy stage, all patients were divided into four groups: albumin-free group (including simple diabetes, DN Ⅰ and Ⅱ patients), microalbuminuria group (UAER 30-300mg/24h), clinical albuminuria group (UAER>300mg/24h) and terminal renal failure group [eGFR<15 ml/(min?1.73m2)], the differences in the prevalence of DPN among the four groups were compared. Multiple regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of DN and DPN. Result The prevalence of DN in DPN group was significantly higher than that in NDPN group(P<0.05). The prevalence of DPN increased gradually with the increase of UAER, there were significant differences among the four groups (P<0.01). Common risk factors for DPN and DN included age, duration, systolic blood pressure and Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. Conclusion There is a correlation between DPN and DN, and there are some common risk factors between them.

Objective To determine and evaluate the method of localization of anal verge by mutislice spiral CT. To provide an imaging reference for operative guidance of low-rectal cancer. Methods Forty eight consecutive adult patients suspected of abnormalities other than rectal disease were evaluated with abdominal and pelvic CT scans since August, 2009. They were divided into two groups based on sex and age. There were 23 men and 25 women. The ages of young group were 28 to 50 years and the average age was 41 years. The ages of elderly group were 52 to 81 years and the average age was 64 years. A small cotton ball dipped with contrast media was put at the anal verge as a marker and CT scans were performed with 64-slice spiral CT scanner. The distances between the cotton balls and the lower margin of the pubis combination (La), the lower margin of the 5th sacral vertebra (Lb), the inferior aperture of minor pelvis(Lc) and the lower margin of the basement of external anal sphincter (Ld) were measured on the midsagittal images obtained by MPR. The averages, the standard deviations(s), the 95% and 80% confidence intervals of La, Lb, Lc and Ld were calculated. We took the intervals of ± 1.96 s or ± 1.28 s < 5 mm as the standard of meeting the clinical requirement. The distances meeting the clinical requirement between different sex groups or age groups were compared with t test. Results The Ld was (9.8 ± 1.2) mm, ofwhich intervals of ± 1.96 s and ± 1.28 s were 4. 8 mm and 3.0 mm respectively, meeting the clinical need.This distance was also measured conveniently. There were no significant differences ( P > 0.05 ) between two different sex groups [ male group, ( 10.0 ± 1.2) mm], female group, (9.6 ± 1.2) mm and between two age groups [ young group, (9.6 ± 1.2) mm, elderly group, ( 9.9 ± 1.3 ) mm ]. Conclusions The lower margin of the basement of external anal sphincter was a useful anatomic lanmark for localizing the anal verge,and could be definitely identified on the middle sagittal pelvic CT image. The distance between the structure and anal verge is constant enough and can be used in measuring distance from low rectal lesion to the anal verge.
