The clinical evaluation of peripheral nerve regeneration using turns/amplitude analysis system in EMG.

Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the value of turns/amplitude analysis system in EMG in evaluating peripheral nerve regeneration.

Methods: Twenty-eight patients were investigated using turns/amplitude analysis system and conventional method in EMG after nerve repair. The patients were grouped according to their muscle power and their parameters in EMG were recorded and compared among groups as well as between the two methods.

[Arterialization of the great saphenous vein for treating severe ischemia of lower limbs].

This study was to observe the result in patients suffering from severe ischemia of legs with arterialization of the great saphenous vein. Eighty nine patients suffering from the disease were treated by bridging the autogenous cephalic vein or Gore-Tex artificial vessel between the great saphenous vein and the femoral or external iliac arteries. The results showed that the blood supply of the affected legs was increased immediately after operation.

An experimental study about the incorrect electrophysiological evaluation following peripheral nerve injury and repair.

Objective: This experiment was designed to explore the reasons of incorrect electrophysiological evaluation following peripheral nerve repair.

Methods: Twenty-four New Zealand white rabbits were used and divided into 2 groups. The first group of animals underwent severance of gastrocnemius muscle nerve and only the medial branch of the nerve was anastomosed.
