Evoked potentials are widely used in assessing neurophysiological function of patients, with stimulation most commonly provided by auditory, somatosensitive or visual inputs. In the pattern electroretinogram(PERG), the electrical response of the retina to stimulation by a changing visual pattern is recorded by fine electrodes applied on the surface of the eye. Stimulation is usually provided by a reversing black-and-white checkerboard pattern or grating, in which the overall luminance remains constant.... PERGs were recorded at the clinical Eye Research Centre of St Paul' s Eye Unit, Royal Liverpool University Hospital... In each subject, two recordings were made from both eyes(36 recordings in total). 4, record 1, English, - pattern%20electroretinogram

L'électrorétinogramme à damiers (PERG) prend ses origines au niveau des cônes maculaires et paramaculaires [...] Le patient regarde un écran réversible à damiers ou quadrillé [...] Pour obtenir un enregistrement techniquement satisfaisant, le signal est de faible amplitude; un enregistrement moyen et une attention plus soutenue sont nécessaires. [...] L'onde P50 est invariablement pertubée dans les pathologies maculaires, le PERG permet de déterminer si l'atteinte est intra ou extra rétinienne et donc de distinguer une maculopathie d'une neuropathie optique. 2, record 1, French, - %C3%A9lectror%C3%A9tinogramme%20par%20inversion%20%C3%A0%20damier

Physicians at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center(UPMC) are evaluating the use of LBS-Neurons in the world's first clinical human neuron transplant into a patient's brain. This is the first effort to treat stroke patients with an intracerebral graft of cells. These neurons are provided by Layton Science, Inc., located in Atherton, Cal. Specifically, the Pitt research team expects the LBS-neurons to improve the function of neurons damaged after a stroke. Based on previous studies with an animal model of stroke, researchers think that grafted LBS-Neurons will either enhance the function of host neurons that survive a stroke but are impaired, or replace host neurons that have been destroyed by a stroke. 1, record 3, English, - intracerebral%20graft

Les premiers résultats de la greffe intracérébrale de neurones fœtaux réalisés chez cinq patients atteints de la maladie de Huntington, viennent d'être publiés par des chercheurs de l'Inserm, associés à des médecins de l'Assistance publique - Hôpitaux de Paris [...] Trois ans après la greffe, trois patients présentent une nette amélioration de leurs capacités intellectuelles et motrices. Ils peuvent à nouveau réaliser des tâches qu'ils n'avaient pu faire depuis des années, comme rouler à bicyclette, nager, faire du bricolage ou jouer de la guitare. Ces résultats, qui paraissent dans la revue «The Lancet» (The Lancet, vol. 356, n° 9246, 9 décembre 2000) montrent pour la première fois, qu'il est possible, de restaurer les fonctions cérébrales déficientes de ces patients, pour lesquels aucun traitement n'est, à ce jour, disponible. 2, record 3, French, - greffe%20intrac%C3%A9r%C3%A9brale

Tissue matrix development. In an advance that may pave the way for development of human tissue replacement biodegradable polymer has been synthesized that could function as a matrix to support mammalian(including human) cells. University researchers recently synthesized the copolymer of lactic acid and lysine and chemically attached a biologically active peptide to it. The Federal Government supported the research. Progress in tissue engineering hinges on the development of matrix materials that are biodegradable and compatible with cell function and have adequate adhesive properties. 1, record 6, English, - tissue%20matrix

Voilà dix ans, régénérer un os, un muscle ou un tympan détériorés relevait de l'imaginaire. On s'aperçoit aujourd'hui que le «génie tissulaire» ne manque pas d'arguments. Deux méthodes essentielles, utilisant les biopolymères, se sont ouvertes en vue de réparer les tissus: implanter dans l'organisme des matrices sur lesquelles les tissus peuvent se reconstituer, ou stimuler la regénération grâce à une action biochimique exercée par un biopolymère. 1, record 6, French, - matrice
