INTRODUCTION:Neuromuscular ultrasound has been increasingly used in the detection and diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), commonly characterized by peripheral nerve atrophy, degeneration, and muscle fasciculations. The aim of this study was to assess the ultrasound characteristics of ALS patients. METHODS:A total of 67 consecutive patients with sporadic ALS and 19 with ALS mimics (63.16% peripheral neuropathy) were recruited. Ultrasound and electrophysiological examinations were performed; the peripheral nerve cross-sectional area (CSA) and fasciculation grades were compared between the groups, and correlations between ultrasound and electrophysiological data in ALS patients were determined. RESULTS:ALS patients had smaller proximal median and ulnar nerve CSAs than those of ALS mimics, who exhibited asymmetric changes. Fasciculation differences in the trapezius, triceps brachii, extensor digitorum communis, thenar, and first dorsal interosseous muscles were observed. In ALS patients, the CSA and fasciculation relative scores were correlated with electrophysiological indicators. CONCLUSION:Ultrasound is a valuable tool for monitoring peripheral nerve CSA and muscle fasciculations, both of which correlate with electrophysiological indices, in ALS patients.

The standardized neurology training base undertakes not only the training of neurologists, but also the training for physicians, psychiatrists, emergency department physicians and etc. Before making the standardized training management plan, it is necessary to know the department source and professional background of trainees, their training objective and duration of rotation in neurology department. A variety of teaching methods were used to implement the training plan, and cultivation of humanistic quality were also integrated into daily work. To achieve the goal of training competent doctors in neurology, the adjustments were made timely according to the arising problems and the feedback of the trainees.
With the establishment of hospital consortium and the promotion of the policy of hierarchical medical system, it has become very common for doctors from the tertiary hospitals in the hospital consortium to visit in community hospitals and guide doctors in community hospitals. When guiding the primary medical doctors in hospital consortium, it becomes an important problem to improve their medical professional level. Based on the characteristics and needs of primary medical staff, Beijing University Third Hospital put forward targeted training program and established a multimodal neurological training for primary medical staff. Through this mode of training, the primary medical doctors’capability of diagnosing and dealing with the common neurological diseases were improved greatly, and they had a much better and deeper understanding of rare and difficult neurological diseases.
To investigate the clinical significance of ultrasonic determination of tongue muscle fasciculations in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). A total of 108 ALS patients, enrolled from May to September 2017 in Peking University Third Hospital, with the diagnosis of possible to definite ALS according to revised El Escorial criteria were examined by ultrasound through the submental way. Fasciculation of the tongue muscle was evaluated using a 7.5 MHz linear array transducer while the patients remain seated. We compared the ultrasonic and clinical determination of fasciculations of tongue muscle. The relationship between the fasciculations of tongue muscle and the course of disease, ALSFRS-R score, BMI and the results of electrophysiological examination were determined. The percentage of tongue muscle fasciculations detected by ultrasound was significantly higher than that of clinical judgment (81.5% vs 43.5%, P < 0.05). In ALS patients of bulbar onset, with diffuse neurogenic changes on electromyography with bulbar involvement, and with the bulbar involvement of both upper and lower motor neurons, the percentages of fasciculations were higher than those of limb onset, without diffuse neurogenic changes on electromyography with bulbar involvement or both bulbar upper and lower neurons involvement (c2 = 6.190, 6.364 and 5.031, separately; P < 0.05). The ALSFRS-R bulbar score in patients with ultrasonic fasciculations was significantly lower than that in patients without fasciculations (10.4 ± 2.1 vs 11.4 ± 1.2, t = −3.03, P < 0.05). Our study indicates ultrasound is more sensitive than clinical examination in judgement of tongue fasciculations. Ultrasonography can provide valuable reference for the diagnosis and treatment of ALS.
神经病学临床见习是高等医学院校临床医学系开设的课程,与临床关系密切.教学目标是掌握神经系统常见疾病的解剖和理论基础,建立分析思路,对疾病诊疗提出自己的看法和见解. 八年制临床医学是医学院内的主流专业,以培养可进入临床从事医疗、教学和科研的专业人才为目的,因此临床见习结合大课讲授疾病临床表现、诊疗原则及进展,直接接触临床病患,重点培养学生自主学习、建立正确临床思维、分析和解决问题的能力.传统的教学实践是教师将知识细化传授,学生被动接受知识点的过程,缺陷是理解反馈和融会贯通过程缓慢.神经病学教研室引入基于问题的学习(problem based learning,PBL)和基于病例的教学(case-based teaching,CBT),现将2种教学方法的临床见习教学效果与传统教学比较,报告如下.
