摘要:

视神经脊髓炎谱系疾病(NMOSD)被认为是一种亚洲的脊髓型多发性硬化,这是一种专门损害视神经和脊髓的中枢神经系统慢性炎症疾病,虽然这两种疾病在本质上是不同的,但是最近的研究发现,MS和NMOSD之间有一些相似之处。在这篇文章中,我们重点研究MS和NMOSD之间的相似之处并从病理学,影像学,免疫学理论出发讨论这些相似之处的联系以及疾病的发病机制。无论患者被诊断为MS或是NMOSD,每个患者的免疫学和病理学背景都应该被考虑到临床实践和基础研究之中。

Abstract:

After a systemic study with a wide range of the temporal and structural variation, promising clinical applications can be pursued using this temporal structural nerve regeneration; forinstance, a guided nerve regeneration from the proximal nerve to the severed target distal nerve. This is dependent on a proper nerve regeneration where enough number of axonal growth should be initiated and guided to the target nerve stump using scaffolding materials and finally reinnervate to the target muscles. For final clinical uses, the scaffolding material will be switched with biodegradable materials using the same fabrication technique. While the well guided regenerated nerves regain the functional control on the target muscles, the biodegradable scaffolds will also disappear. The other benefit of the temporal and structural guidance of the growth cone and axonal branching is the selective nerve regeneration to the specific nerves and proper sensory and motor axonal connection to improve misdirection of the regenerated nerves. This could be achieved with an additional capability of the multilayer microchannel scaffolds with biochemical guidance.
