  • Title: [Responsive properties of afferent units of the superficial branch of radial nerve in diabetic neuropathic patients].
    Author: Liu J, Wang KM, Cao DY, He LZ.
    Journal: Sheng Li Xue Bao; 1996 Aug; 48(4):355-60. PubMed ID: 9389198.
    Abstract:
    By means of intraneural microrecording (INMR), changes of mechanical threshold and conduction velocity (CV) of A beta mechanical receptive units and A delta units of the superficial branch of the radial nerve and their response to sympathetic efferent were studied in 8 diabetic neuropathic patients. The results showed that the CV of these units was significantly decreased, and so was the mechanical threshold of A delta units. During the aftermath of excitation of the skin sympathetic nerve by mental arithmetics, 3/12 A delta units were turned to the active state with decreased mechanical threshold.
