Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A), onabotulinumtoxinA (Botox) was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for temporary improvement of glabellar lines in patients 65 years and younger in 2002, and has also been used widely for aesthetic purposes such as hyperhidrosis, body shape contouring, and other noninvasive facial procedures. BoNT-A inhibits presynaptic exocytosis of acetylcholine (ACh)-containing vesicles into the neuromuscular junction at cholinergic nerve endings of the peripheral nervous system, thereby paralyzing skeletal muscles. ACh is the most broadly used neurotransmitter in the somatic nervous system, preganglionic and postganglionic fibers of parasympathetic nerves, and preganglionic fibers or postganglionic sudomotor nerves of sympathetic nerves. The scientific basis for using BoNT-A in various cosmetic procedures is that its function goes beyond the dual role of muscle paralysis and neuromodulation by inhibiting the secretion of ACh. Although the major target organs for aesthetic procedures are facial expression muscles, skeletal body muscles, salivary glands, and sweat glands, which are innervated by the somatic or autonomic nerves of the peripheral cholinergic nerve system, few studies have attempted to directly explain the anatomy of the areas targeted for injection by addressing the neural physiology and rationale for specific aesthetic applications of BoNT-A therapy. In this article, we classify the various cosmetic uses of BoNT-A according to the relevant component of the peripheral nervous system, and describe scientific theories regarding the anatomy and physiology of the cholinergic nervous system. We also review critical physiological factors and conditions influencing the efficacy of BoNT-A for the rational aesthetic use of BoNT-A. We hope that this comprehensive review helps promote management policies to support long-term, safe, successful practice. Furthermore, based on this, we look forward to developing and expanding new advanced indications for the aesthetic use of BoNT-A in the future.

This study was conducted to examine the pathological changes of rat peripheral nervous system during exposure to tellurium known to be a demyelinating agent by using teasing nerve fiber method and quantitative light microscopic analysis by image analyzer. The pellet containing 1.2% of tellurium were fed for 3, 5, 7, 9, 13 days to male wistar rats (21 days old) and then neurologic symptom and the feature of nerve fiber myelination were studied. From this study, following results were obtained. In 3 days treated group, it showed various neurologic symptom and teased nerve fiber showed slight irregularity of the myeline sheath. In 5 days and 7 days treated groups, it showed the segmental demyetination in larger size fiber and widening of nodes of ranvier. In 9 days and 13 days treated groups, the remyelinated fibers were observed and it was generally small in size. We consequently suggest that teasing nerve fiber method and quantitative analysis of nerve fiber were useful pathologic screening method of neurotoxicity of the peripheral nervous system.

X-linked Charcot Marie Tooth disease type 1 (CMTX1) is a clinically heterogenous X-linked hereditary neuropathy caused by mutation of the gene encoding gap junction beta 1 protein (GJB1). Typical clinical manifestations of CMTX1 are progressive weakness or sensory disturbance due to peripheral neuropathy. However, there have been some CMTX1 cases with accompanying central nervous system (CNS) manifestations. We report the case of a genetically confirmed CMTX1 patient who presented recurrent transient CNS symptoms without any symptom or sign of peripheral nervous system involvement.

In general. it is known that central nervous system associated with nerve injury and regeneration in mature cann't regenerate, unlikely peripheral nervous system, due to various reasons. Although a lot of Patients arc suffered with central nervous system injury in the world, but there art a few resolution and researches and investigations. 'rho effect of central nervous system regeneration was partly revealed by many researchers. In this article, we describe about recovery (inclusive of axonal regeneration, remyelination, repair of spinal cord) and associated factors(inclusive of macrophage and autoimmune T-cell. neural stem cells. Nogo) after central nervous system injury.

The nervous system consists of two types of cells, which are neurons and glial cells. Among the glial cells, oligodendrodendrocytes and schwann cells form myelin sheaths in the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS), respectively. The major function of myelin in vertebrates is to insulate axonal and help action potential travel faster.(omitted)

Acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN) is a subtype of Guillain-Barre syndrome and characterized by selective involvement of motor fibers. Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is a demyelinating disease of central nervous system. The coincidence of central and peripheral nervous system involvement has been reported rarely. We described a 37-year-old male patient presented with fever and altered consciousness. The examination of cerebrospinal fluid and brain magnetic resonance imaging was compatible with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. Several days after admissionb his mentality was improved but quadriparesis, multiple cranial neuropathies, and areflexia were detected. Electrophysiologic studies suggested axonal form of motor dominant polyneuropathy. We report a case of acute motor axonal neuropathy combined with ADEM. We consider that this case is an example of simultaneous immunologic process to the common pathogenic epitope of central nervous system and peripheral nervous system.

This study was carried out to elucidate the toxic mechanism of cadmium in peripheral nerve. An animal model of cadmium neuropathy was induced by feeding diet containing cadmium to Sprague- Dawley rat (or two weeks. Four weeks aged Sprague- Dawley rats were divided into four groups : normal control group, 10ppm- cadmium treated group, 100ppm- cadmium treated group, 1000ppm- cadmium treated group, reference drug- treated group. All rats were sacrificed at the end of two weeks for assessing the development of cadmium neuropathy, These results obtained were summarized as follows : 1. Cadmium reduced peripheral flow of both acetylcholinesterase and cholinesterase in rat sciatic nerve. 2. The toxic mechanism of cadmium might be the result of an reduction of myo-inositol concentration in peripheral nervous system 3. Reduction in myo-inositol content of peripheral nerve resulted from the inhibition of sodium- Potassium ATPase activity, which is responsible for myo-inositol transport, by cadmium 4. Oral administration of myo-inositol improved the flow of both acetylcholinesterase and cholinesterasenerve in cadmium intoxicated rat. These results suggest that mild cadmium neuropathy might be diagnosed by checking nervous myo-inositol content and oral administraion of myo-inositol might prevent the development of severe cadmium neuropathy with special reference to detective axonal transport.

Ultrasonography is currently being developed as a tool for evaluating peripheral neuropathy. It is one of the painless and least-invasive methods of medical diagnostic testing that yields anatomic views of the nerves and their surrounding structures. Here I first describe the equipment settings and technique for nerve ultrasound along with typical sonographic findings for normal nerves. I then address frequently used parameters for nerve measurements that facilitate diagnoses of focal and generalized neuropathies.
