    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Clinical symptoms and patho-anatomic changes in cervical myelopathy due to spondylotic changes are described. The leading symptoms are numbness and clumsiness of upper and lower extremity, mostly combined with gait disturbances. Muscle wasting primarily on the upper extremity leads to the myelopathic hand. Cervical myelopathy can be classified into five main groups: 1. Spastic tetraparesis with numbness and hyperreflexivity of upper and lower extremity. The majority of patients present with the myelopathic hand. 2. Spastic paraparesis with lesion below C6. 3. Spastic tetraparesis, mild or moderate, with deltoid muscle paresis. 4. Amyotrophic myelopathic hand with mild long tract signs. 5. Central cord syndrome due to cervical spondylosis combined with trauma. From the therapeutic aspect, conservative treatment is often unsuccessful. It is important to relieve pressure on the myelon, and decompressive procedures, especially posterior laminoplasty techniques, are required. Earlier surgery provides better results.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Das klinische Erscheinungsbild der zervikalen Spondylose mit Myelopathie wird dargestellt. Die achsennahen Symptome wie Zervikalgie sind auf die radiologisch feststellbaren Veränderungen zurückzuführen. Periphere Symptome wie Radikulopathien können hinzukommen, wenn die lateralen Anteile des Spinalkanals eingeengt werden. Die Deltoideusparese Grad ≤ 3 (MMT) ist die häufigste Symptomatik von klinischer Bedeutung, wenn nur ein einzelner Muskel betroffen ist, die von der zervikalspondolytischen Radikulopathie verursacht wird. Bei der zervikalen Myelopathie stehen aber nicht Schmerz, sondern Funktionsstörungen im Vordergrund. Taubheitsgefühle an oberen und unteren Extremitäten sowie Gangstörungen sind Frühzeichen. Muskelatrophien werden vor allem an der oberen Extremität beobachtet und führen häufig zur sog. myelopathischen Hand. Der zervikale Myelopathie läßt sich in verschiedene Formen unterteilen: 1. spastische Tetraparese mit Symptomen der oberen und unteren Extremität, 2. spastische Paraparese bei Kompressionen unterhalb C6, 3. spastische Tetraparese mit Parese des M. deltoideus, 4. atropische Form der myelopathischen Hand mit Beteiligung der langen Bahnen, 5. zentrales Rückenmarksyndrom bei zervikaler Spondylose und Traumaanamnese. Therapeutisch sind konservative Maßnahmen wenig erfolgversprechend, es empfiehlt sich dekompressive Chirurgie. Die Prognose ist um so besser, je früher die Dekompression erfolgt.

    Notes: Abstract. Harderian glands of male albino rats were stimulated with secretagogues and examined by transmission and scanning electron microscopy for the purpose of studying the apocrine secretory mechanism. Rats in the control group were perfused with standard HEPES-buffered Ringer’s solution. Their glandular endpieces showed wide lumina that contained few secretory materials; spontaneous exocytosis was sometimes observed. However, there were no features suggestive of an apocrine secretory mechanism or myoepithelial cell contractions. After stimulation with NaF+AlCl3 or carbachol in HEPES-buffered Ringer’s solution, the rats shed ”bloody tears” and the glandular lumina were jammed with apical protrusions, cytoplasmic material and secretory products. The basal surface of the glandular cells showed bulging caused by myoepithelial cell contraction. Perfusion with HEPES-buffered Ringer’s solution containing papaverine inhibited secretagogue-induced myoepithelial cell contraction but not the enhanced secretory activities of the glandular cells. The present results demonstrate that the Harderian gland of the rat can release secretory material not only by exocytosis, but also by an apocrine mechanism under stimulating conditions, and that myoepithelial cell contraction may not be involved in causing apical protrusion in the glandular cells.
