1、神经肌接头病(Disorders of neuromuscular transmission)重症肌无力 Lambert-Eaton 综合征,Dep.of NeurologyThe 2nd Hospital Harbin Medical University,Neuromuscular Disorders Definition,The diseases of neuromuscular junction(NMJ)describes a sets of disease caused by circulating factors such as neurotoxins or autoantibod

2、ies which bind with high affinity to specific proteins at the NMJ and disturb the neuromuscular transmission.,Neuromusuclar Junction(NMJ)Physiology,the nerve AP reaches the nerve terminal which inflated and without myelin and leads to the opening of calcium channel and release of ACh into the synapt

3、ic cleft by exocytosis.,Neuromusuclar Junction(NMJ)Physiology,1/3 of the ACh diffuses rapidly to the postsynaptic membrane and binds to the AChRs,leading to opening of the AChR-associated cation channel and depolarization called the end-plate potential(EPP).If the EPP exceeds certain threshold,volta

4、ge gated sodium channel at the postsynaptic membrane are opened.This generates the muscle action potential(CMAP)that propagates along the muscle fiber and activates contraction.,Neuromusuclar Junction(NMJ)Physiology,Another 1/3 of the ACh is hydrolyzed by cholinesterase(ChE).The remaining 1/3 of the

5、 ACh is recaptured by the presynaptic membrane.,重症肌无力(Myasthenia Gravis,MG),概念病因及发病机制病理临床表现诊断及鉴别诊断治疗,Myasthenia gravis(MG)Definition,MG was originated from Latin,meaning very severe weakness.acquired MG is an antibody and complement-mediated,T cell-dependent autoimmune disease leading to a defect in

6、 neuromuscular transmission.,Myasthenia gravis(MG)Epidemiology,It is the prototypic neuromuscular disorders with an incidence of 80-200 per million and prevalence about 500 per million.In China,it is estimated that 0.6 million people were diagnosed as MG and most of them lives in the South of China.

7、It had been a life-threatening disease before 1970s,though nowadays the incidence of death has been greatly reduced to about 0.2%.,Myasthenia Gravis(MG)Etiology,The autoimmune origin of MG is proposed long before it was established in 1973 by the direct evidence provided by Patrick and Lindstrom,who

8、 have immunized rabbit with affinity-purified Torpedo AChR with CFA and reproduced the animal models representing human MG(EAMG).The AChR is the autoantigen.,Myasthenia Gravis(MG)Etiology,The presence of anti-AChR Abs can be demonstrated in 80%-90%of MG patients.There is a 3:1 female-male ratio for

9、patients who develop MG in early adult life.Overall,the above makes MG fulfills the criteria for autoimmune diseases.,Myasthenia Gravis(MG)Etiology,Most of the patients with MG have abnormalities in the thymus,e.g.thymic hyperplastic or thymoma.Although the primary antiself event being unclear,thymu

10、s appears to be the place where it initiates.The general opinion is that virus infection or other nonspecific factors invades the thymus in genetically predisposed individuals leading to the development of MG.,Myasthenia Gravis(MG)Pathology,Lymphoid folliculus can be seen in thymus.About 10%of MG pa

11、tients has thymoma of epithelia type.Lymphorage,defined by aggregated lymphoid cells around the blood vessels,is sometimes seen in otherwise normal musculature in MG patients.,Myasthenia Gravis(MG)Pathology,At the NMJ,grossly simplified postsynaptic folds with deposition of immune-complex and the an

14、igability.Typically,the weakness varies in distribution and severity from day to day.Characterized by abnormal weakness,which being worse at the end of the day or after exertion and tends to improve after rest or AChE treatment.,Myasthenia Gravis(MG)Clinical Manifestations,The weakness often begins

15、with the lateral or bilateral extra-ocular muscles,leading to asymmetric ocular palsies(e.g.diplopia,strabismic)and ptosis.Pupillary responses are not affected.,Myasthenia Gravis(MG)Clinical Manifestations,The patients may present with less wrinkles,amimia,difficulty in closing the eyes or disclosin

16、g tooth;difficulty in chewing or swallowing,nasal speech;weakness of the neck or the proximal upper limbs.,Myasthenia Gravis(MG)Crisisdefinition,Crisis describes a rapidly developed weakness in the bulbar muscles and respiratory insufficiency that necessitates assisted ventilation.It is the leading

17、cause of death in patients with MG.,Myasthenia Gravis(MG)Crisisclassification,Myasthenic crisis:able to react to AChE drugs and being hypersensitive to the curare.Cholinergic crisis:1.overmedication can lead to increased weakness,which,unlike myasthenic weakness,is unaffected or enhanced by intraven

19、Ib.Moderate generalized III.Progressively severe IV.late severe,Myasthenia Gravis(MG)Other classification,MG can also be subdivided into adolescent and adult type,neonatal MG,congenital myasthenia,D-Penicillamine induced myasthenia:a similar disorder in patients receiving penicillamine for rheumatoi

20、d arthritis frequently remits when the drug is discontinued.,Myasthenia Gravis(MG)Investigation,Routine examination on the blood,urea and CSF are normal.X-rays and CT scans of the chest may reveal a coexisting thymoma in patients over 40 years.,Myasthenia Gravis(MG)Investigation,EMG:increased decrem

28、nt,thymectomy should be performed in patients under 60 years of age.usually leads to symptomatic benefit or remissionHowever,its beneficial effect may not be evident immediately.,Myasthenia Gravis(MG)Treatment,corticosteriods are indicated for patients who have responded poorly to AChE and have alre

29、ady under thymectomy.Treatments are initiated with the patient in hospital,since weakness may initially be exacerbated.An initial high dose of predinisone(60-80mg/d orally)can gradually be tapered to a relatively low maintenance level(10-20 mg/d)as improvement occurs.,Myasthenia Gravis(MG)Treatment,

30、Immunosuppressant,e.g.azathioprine,is used as steriod-sparing agent.It can also be given in place of corticosteroids to patients who show no sustained benefit with low doses.The usual dose is 1-3 mg/kg/d,increased from a lower initial dose.,Myasthenia Gravis(MG)Treatment,plasmapheresis(PE)may be use
