[Prognostic factors of myasthenic crisis after extended thymectomy in patients with generalized myasthenia gravis].
To investigate the prognostic factors of myasthenic crisis after extended thymectomy in patients with generalized myasthenia gravis (MG). ⋯ Preoperative bulbar symptoms, history of preoperative myasthenic crisis, history of preoperative infection, and large preoperative dose of, pyridostigmine are all independent influencing factors of postoperative myasthenic crisis. Ample preoperative care may prevent postoperative myasthenic crisis in the patients with such factors.

[Effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation on recovery of neural functions and changes of synaptic interface and dendritic structure in the contralateral brain area after cerebral infarction: experiment with rats].
To evaluate the effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) on the brain plasticity and its role in functional outcome in cerebral infarction. ⋯ TMS promotes the improvement of neural functions of the rats with cerebral ischemia by the potential mechanism that TMS strengthen the compensatory roles of the synaptic interface and dendritic structure in the undamaged sensorimotor cortex area and increase synaptic plasticity.
