    Notizen: Summary Severe microvascular disease exists at the stage of clinical diabetic neuropathy. A non-invasive test that will identify those diabetic subjects who will eventually develop neuropathy is essential for early intervention. Sural sensory conduction velocity was recorded (x 3) in 12 non-neuropathic diabetic subjects, 15 diabetic subjects with established neuropathy and 16 age-matched normal control subjects, before and after exercise to 80% age/sex predicted maximum heart rate. Fixed sural electrodes were used. Subcutaneous temperature was recorded by a needle thermocouple placed near the sural nerve. Sural sensory conduction velocity increased significantly after exercise in normal subjects (p〈0.01, mean increase 5.07 m/s) and non-neuropathic diabetic subjects (p〈0.02, mean increase 3.99 m/s) but not in neuropathic subjects (mean increase 0.99 m/s). Subcutaneous temperature rose significantly in normal subjects (p〈0.01, mean increase 2.07°C) and non-neuropathic diabetic subjects (p〈0.001, mean increase 2.52 °C) but not in neuropathic subjects (mean increase 0.15 °C). However, sural sensory conduction velocity increased by 1.2 m · s−1. °C−1 following direct warming of the limb in six neuropathic subjects which was comparable to that of normal and non-neuropathic subjects (1.49 and 1.48 m · s−1. °C−1). The impairment of exercise conduction increment in diabetic neuropathy suggests impaired nerve blood flow in diabetic neuropathy.

    Notizen: Summary New techniques of sural nerve photography and fluorescein angiography which are able to provide an index of nerve blood flow have been developed. Under local anaesthetic, 3 cm of sural nerve was exposed at the ankle using an operating microscope. Without disturbing the epineurium, vessels were identified and photographed at a standard magnification (× 30). These were independently graded by an ophthalmologist not otherwise involved with the study. Fluorescein angiography was then carried out on the exposed nerve. The fluorescein appearance time and intensity of fluorescence were quantified, using computer analysis of digitised images. Thirteen subjects with chronic sensory motor neuropathy, five non-neuropathic diabetic and nine normal control subjects were studied. The mean epineurial vessel pathology score of the neuropathic group was significantly higher than the combined normal control and non-neuropathic diabetic groups (p 〈0.01). Direct epineurial arteriovenous shunting was observed in six neuropathic and one non-neuropathic diabetic patients and not in any of the normal control subjects. The nerve fluorescein appearance time was significantly delayed in subjects with chronic sensory motor neuropathy (51.5 ± 12 s) compared to both normal (34.7 ± 9 s, p 〈0.01) and non-neuropathic diabetic subjects (33.4 ± 11 s, p 〈0.025). The mean intensity of fluorescence at 96, 252 and 576 s, was significantly lower in subjects with chronic sensory motor neuropathy compared with both of the other groups (p 〈0.05). The epineurial vessel pathology score was significantly related to reduced sural (p 〈0.01) and peroneal (p 〈0.001) nerve conduction velocities, elevated vibration (p 〈0.01) and thermal (p 〈0.001) perception and the severity of retinopathy (p 〈0.002). The fluorescein appearance time was significantly related to reduced sural sensory (p 〈0.02) conduction velocity, elevated vibration (p 〈0.01) perception and epineurial vessel (p 〈0.002) pathology score, but it failed to relate to peroneal motor (p = 0.06) conduction velocity, thermal (p = 0.1) perception and the severity of retinopathy (p = 0.3). Intensity of fluorescence was significantly related to fluorescein appearance time (at 96 s, p 〈0.001; at 576 s, p 〈0.05) but did not relate to measures of neuropathic severity. These techniques have enabled us to observe that epineurial vessel anatomy is abnormal and that nerve blood flow is impaired in subjects with chronic sensory motor neuropathy. In addition epineurial arterio-venous shunting may be a feature of diabetic neuropathy. These techniques may further be applied to study nerve blood flow in early diabetic neuropathy.

    Notizen: Summary Insulin neuritis, or painful neuropathy following rapid improvement in glycaemic control, is well recognised but its aetiology is unclear. An understanding of the processes involved in the genesis of acute painful neuropathy of rapid glycaemic control may give an insight into the early pathogenetic factors leading to diabetic nerve damage in general. We have identified five subjects with insulin neuritis including one who developed severe autonomic neuropathy following treatment with insulin. Subjects underwent: 1) assessment of neuropathic symptom and deficit scores; 2) quantitative sensory and electrophysiological studies and 3) sural nerve epineurial vessel photography and fluorescein angiography in vivo. The sural nerve photographs were independently graded by an ophthalmologist. All subjects with insulin neuritis presented with severe sensory symptoms but clinical examination and electrophysiological tests were normal except in the subject with the severe autonomic neuropathy in whom all the tests were abnormal. On nerve photography, there was an abundance of epineurial nutrient vessels although these showed severe abnormalities including arteriolar attenuation, tortuosity and arterio-venous shunting in all subjects. Proliferating neural ’new vessels' which bear striking similarities to those found in the retina and that were more leaky to fluorescein than normal vessels, were observed in three subjects. Venous distension and/or tortuosity was also observed in three subjects and this was most marked in the subject with severe autonomic neuropathy. This study shows that epineurial nutrient vessel anatomy is abnormal in subjects with acute painful neuropathy of rapid glycaemic control, a condition previously thought to be purely metabolic in origin. The presence of epineurial arterio-venous shunting and a fine network of vessels resembling the new vessels of the retina, may lead to a ’steal' effect rendering the endoneurium ischaemic. This process may be important in the genesis of neuropathic pain, and further supports the importance of vascular factors in the pathogenesis of diabetic neuropathy. [Diabetologia (1996) 39: 329–335]

    Notizen: Abstract Aims/hypothesis. Experimental studies have shown that abnormalities of nerve microcirculation are important factors in the pathogenesis of diabetic neuropathy but there have been few clinical studies. We have applied microlightguide spectrophotometry to measure intravascular oxygen saturation (HbO2%) and blood flow in human sural nerve. Methods. We studied ten patients with mild-moderate sensory motor diabetic neuropathy, nine patients without neuropathy and nine control subjects. We took 300 measurements of oxygen saturation under direct visual control through a 1.9 mm rigid endoscope over three regions of the nerve. Spectrophotometric measurements of nerve fluorescence were taken after an intravenous injection of sodium fluorescein and the rate of increase in nerve fluorescence (rise time) was used as an indicator of nerve blood flow. Results. Nerve oxygen saturation was reduced in patients with neuropathy compared with control subjects (67.1 ± 2.2 % vs 76.7 ± 2.1 %, p = 0.006). Fluorescein rise time was prolonged in patients with neuropathy compared with the control group (48.5 ± 7.0 s vs 14.0 ± 3.1 s, p = 0.001) suggesting impaired nerve blood flow. There was a correlation between rise time, nerve oxygen saturation, glycaemic control and sural nerve sensory conduction velocity (p 〈 0.01). Conclusion/interpretation. The combination of microlight-guide spectrophotometry and micro-endoscopy provides a valuable minimally invasive technique for clinical investigation of nerve microcirculation. We have shown reduced nerve oxygenation and impaired blood flow in diabetic neuropathy and these findings strongly support a central role of microvascular disease in the pathogenesis of diabetic neuropathy.

    Notizen: Abstract Tubular evaginations of the plasmalemma of the scutellar epithelial cells of barley are described. The evaginations are similar to those present at other sites where solute flux occurs for a limited period only and wall development of the transfer-cell form has not occured. Differential uptake of the fluorescent dyes fluorescein, which moves into the symplast, and 8-anilino-1-naphthalene sulphonic acid, which remains in the apoplast only, indicates that the scutellar epithelial cells contain the boundary between the apoplast and symplast. We suggest that i) the plasmalemma evaginations, which have a specific form and localisation, may be referred to as plasmatubules rather than by the general term plasmalemmasome, and that ii) the plasmatubules may act in membrane amplification in a short-term structural modification which is an alternative to transfer cells.

    Notizen: Abstract Plasmatubules are tubular evaginations of the plasmalemma. They have previously been found at sites where high solute flux between apoplast and symplast occurs for a short period and where wall proliferations of the transfer cell type have not been developed (Harris et al. 1982, Planta 156, 461–465). In this paper we describe the distribution of plasmatubules in transfer cells of the leaf minor veins of Pisum sativum L. Transfer cells are found in these veins associated both with phloem sieve elements and with xylem vessels. Plasmatubules were found, in both types of transfer cell and it is suggested that the specific distribution of the plasmatubules may reflect further membrane amplification within the transfer cell for uptake of solute from apoplast into symplast.
