千频交流电刺激在外周神经传导阻断中的作用

感觉、运动或自主神经系统的异常病理活动与疼痛和痉挛等多种神经机能障碍有关。千频交流电（kilohertz frequency alternating current，KHFAC）刺激是一种阻断异常病理活动在外周神经内传导的有效方法，它在缓解相关神经机能障碍方面具有临床应用潜力。KHFAC产生的神经传导阻断受千频信号波形和参数、阻断电极设置和位置以及神经纤维类型和直径等因素影响，具有快速性、可控性、可逆性、局部作用和副作用小的特点。但是，在产生完全传导阻断前，KHFAC首先在靶向神经上激活一簇高频初始放电，这种初始响应可能导致肌肉抽搐或疼痛感。同时，在撤去KHFAC后处于阻断状态的靶向神经需要经历一段时间才能恢复正常传导能力，这是该技术导致的后续效应。目前，关于KHFAC阻断神经传导的生物物理机制假说包括千频信号诱发K⁺通道激活和Na⁺通道失活。本文首先介绍了KHFAC技术的电生理实验研究方法和计算模型仿真方法，然后综述目前关于KHFAC作用下神经传导阻断的研究进展，重点论述初始响应特性及消除方法、传导阻断的后续效应、刺激波形和参数的影响、电极设置与位置的影响以及该技术潜在的临床应用，同时归纳KHFAC阻断神经传导的生物物理机制，最后对该技术未来的相关研究进行展望。     

Selective self-synchronization of pulses in neuronal networks of the visual system

In the present study we have checked the hypothesis that the degree of pulse synchrony in neuronal pools is determined by the level of excitation of the neuronal network or its loci and that this relationship does not depend on the factor that causes the excitation. Pulse reactions of neurons in pools (2–4 cells) of cat lateral geniculate nucleus and visual cortex were registered. Neurons were excited using either visual stimuli or glutamic acid microinjections into neuronal pools. The increase of neural pool excitation level (No) regardless of the type of stimulus was shown to increase the pulse synchrony (Ns), with a correlation coefficient of 0.716 ± 0.217. One may suppose that the level of neuronal network excitation “governs” the synchrony of pulses generated by the network, i.e., neuronal networks function in compliance with the principle of self-synchronization.
