近日,北京军区总医院成功实施了一例大脑起搏器手术。
“这是中国第一例真正意义上的植物人脑起搏器促醒手术。”北京军区总医院植物人促醒中心主任焦辉告诉《科学时报》记者。
所谓“植物人”,即病人持续3个月以上处于大脑已经完全或大半失去功能的“植物状态”。传统观念认为,“植物人”等于“活死人”。焦辉说:“其实,有相当部分的植物人是可以治愈的。”
然而,植物人的唤醒,至今是医学界的难题。人脑起搏器便是跨越性的方法之一。
从清醒病人到昏迷病人
在脑科学研究的历史上,大脑起搏器是一项“新产品”。它的发明源于帕金森氏症的治疗进展。
上世纪60年代末期,为避免长期服药带来的药效降低,医生们通过外科手术在大脑中植入电极来控制颤抖。
1995年秋天,美敦力公司研发的第一代大脑起搏器投入临床试验,用以治疗原发性震颤与帕金森氏症震颤。原理在于起搏器发射弱电脉冲,刺激脑内控制运动的相关神经,并抑制引起异常的脑神经信号,最后使病人恢复自理能力,并自如活动。
很快,作为一种新的治疗方法,大脑起搏器在全球范围内流行。到2009年,我国首都医科大学宣武医院北京功能神经外科研究所已经成为全球最大的脑刺激器植入中心。
当在清醒病人大脑中植入电极已经成为治疗疼痛、癫痫及帕金森氏症的主流方法时,在昏迷病人大脑中植入电极,被焦辉认为是一种“跨越式的创新”。2005年,美国开始尝试在昏迷病人身上植入大脑起搏器,试图通过电刺激激活沉睡的大脑细胞,促进神经活动和血液循环,使昏迷病人苏醒。“将已有的技术用在未知的领域,也是一种创新。”焦辉说。
2007年,《自然》杂志曾报道,美国一位因严重脑外伤昏迷六年的病人在大脑起搏器的帮助下苏醒,并能自己进食、与家人聊天。这一案例引起了植物人治疗界的广泛关注。
迄今为止,美国已经有1万多例大脑起搏器植入手术,经过植入大脑起搏器的植物人治愈率达到25%~30%。“这是非常可喜的数字,让我们感觉这个技术非常有希望!”焦辉这样评价。
仍在探索中的“救命稻草”
“但是,在这些治愈的案例中,病人大多是年轻人,由车祸外伤引起的大概占50%。”焦辉告诉《科学时报》记者,“我们现在还只能总结一些基本的规律,但是,大脑起搏器的长期效果及其作用机制等问题还有待进一步研究。”
近年来,我国也开始了大脑起搏器促醒植物人的探索之路。目前,全国大约完成了10多例针对昏迷病人的手术,其中,有两三例病人已经苏醒。有的病人已经能自如运动、说话,甚至嗑瓜子。
2007年,北京植物人促醒中心接收了一名车祸引起昏迷的年轻病人。病人来自香港,已昏迷两个多月。经过左右脑双侧的大脑起搏器植入,半年以后成功苏醒。
“但是,这位病人昏迷时间短,还够不上植物人昏迷3个月的时间标准。”焦辉指出。
直到今年7月,经过反复论证和临床实验后,中国真正意义上的植物人大脑起搏器植入手术终于得以完成。
这位48岁的男性患者在5个月前因脑梗死昏迷,呼吸困难,在当地医院经抢救后,勉强挽回生命,能够睁眼,也有清醒、睡眠的周期,但完全失去了意识活动,被诊断为植物人。
7月5日,北京军区总医院附属八一脑科医院院长徐如祥亲自为患者完成了双侧大脑起搏器植入手术。
现在,大脑起搏器已经通电运行两周,患者仍因为对电刺激不适应而产生间断抽搐。虽然徐如祥观察到他一天天在好起来,但最终的结果还要等时间来验证。
“就目前的认识水平和医疗发展水平来看,大脑起搏器是促醒植物人的最后一根‘救命稻草’。”焦辉说,“尽管现在还有很多问题没有解决,我们也只能抓住这最后的希望来唤醒他们。”
专业机构亟待建立
让人感到忧心的是,我国植物人的状况并不乐观。有数据显示,我国每年新增植物人10万人。但是,对植物人救治的专业程度还远不能满足形势所需。
在我国,植物人的救治已经趋于边缘化。通常的情况是,由外伤、醉酒等原因引起的昏迷病人一开始被送往医院的重症监护室,经抢救无法苏醒的病人,则分诊到康复科,与那些意识清醒的运动障碍病人接受同样的康复治疗。
在一些医疗条件有限的地区,医生甚至会建议患者家属放弃治疗。这些尚未逝去的生命被医生和亲人抛弃,给患者自身、家庭和社会都造成了巨大痛苦。
而在加拿大,植物人安养得到社会极大重视。专业机构会免费帮助患者亲属在家中建设无障碍通道及其他设施,并为患者指派家庭护士。
鉴于此,对植物人事业有着深厚感情的焦辉建议我国应尽快完善植物人救治专业,建立起“四个中心”,即“昏迷急救中心”、“促醒中心”、“安养中心”及“运送中心”。
同时,高额的医疗费用也阻挡了植物人重返世界的道路。目前,不进行治疗的植物人每年的护理费用就高达20万元到60万元不等。而植入单侧大脑起搏器需要花费15万元左右,双侧植入则花费20万元左右。
焦辉建议:“从个人来说,条件差的病人可以进行单侧起搏器植入手术,这只会延长电刺激的时间,不会对效果有影响。”
近年来,我国也开始了大脑起搏器促醒植物人的探索之路。
目前,全国大约完成了10多例针对昏迷病人的手术,其中,有两三例病人已经苏醒。有的病人已经能自如运动、说话,甚至嗑瓜子。
Fear makes us to reject research.
Unconsciously we try to avoid identifying the guilty ones. As if that could save us. On the contrary, it empowers them.
At some point you have to conquer your fears and try to find out who is the real brain behind.
It can be costly, but you have to. Slave minds are what they want. Slavery has always achieved with mind control.
In my particular case it was a painful research. It started when I was mistreated at a hospital. It was the fourth time, so I took things very seriously. When you hear talking about death as I heard you have to awake one way or another.
So I started to research the net, but it was not enough. You have to research the street. And one day, in several places where I tried to get a job, people mentioned a name and made some references that were directly associated with me entring their places and not belonging to. And then I associated name with methods and everything was clear. I also associated name with power. It was a powerful name.
Then I realized that I had to be, in a way lucky and protected implicitly by other people and that my life was at great risk. And that had a paralyzing effect in me. And I secluded myself - not so much as before. I kept on trying to get a job, but going to places that I thought could be friendlier. To no avail. There was always a way to bias people against me. There was always a pretext. And that is the reach of the power of the name that I research.
No wonder there should be hope. Where? I do not know. But I think that I owe to those who helped me the explanation of my perceptions, as I recover from Risperdal and Geodon. Geodon, particularly, almost kills me. In what refers to Risperdal, has obvious effects on memory and control of the body. It might have helped or not. In your particular case. Research these medicines and their side effects. Some people say that they are part of "the game".
Hi Folks:
Today's tip of the day. Figure out which family member or members are working with the perps. Most TI's have family members giving "permission" to target. Sometimes under the guise of "therapy" or "treatment". Usually it is someone the target has contact with and they may possibly offer you small sums of money. Break off all family contact and watch the perps freak out. You will have family members coming out of the woodwork to talk to you. And remember all perps are gross!!!
Hi Folks:
Just had a second "mysterious" brake problem. On the left side. Front and back. One caliper freeze. One piece of bent metal making noise. Like someone did my brakes and used the car as cover. I think my coffee was spiked again. Got sick at the mechanic. Probably so someone could lie and say "stress" makes me ill. It doesn't.
I am looking at property. My realtor's kid stopped breathing after I met him. My home inspector had brake failure on the way to last home inspection.
This website rules.
The perps here usually use an excrement/urine theme.
I think they are doing the dogs here in these buildings too.
My dog happened to show worms today too...But it was only $15 to fix. Very little air traffic when I post on here...
In a sharp departure from traditional concepts in designing and building computers, IBM’s first neurosynaptic computing chips recreate the phenomena between spiking neurons and synapses in biological systems, such as the brain, through advanced algorithms and silicon circuitry. Its first two prototype chips have already been fabricated and are currently undergoing testing.
Called cognitive computers, systems built with these chips won’t be programmed the same way traditional computers are today. Rather, cognitive computers are expected to learn through experiences, find correlations, create hypotheses, and remember – and learn from – the outcomes, mimicking the brains structural and synaptic plasticity.
To do this, IBM is combining principles from nanoscience, neuroscience and supercomputing as part of a multi-year cognitive computing initiative. The company and its university collaborators also announced they have been awarded approximately $21 million in new funding from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for Phase 2 of the Systems of Neuromorphic Adaptive Plastic Scalable Electronics (SyNAPSE) project.
The goal of SyNAPSE is to create a system that not only analyzes complex information from multiple sensory modalities at once, but also dynamically rewires itself as it interacts with its environment – all while rivaling the brain’s compact size and low power usage. The IBM team has already successfully completed Phases 0 and 1.
“This is a major initiative to move beyond the von Neumann paradigm that has been ruling computer architecture for more than half a century,” said Dharmendra Modha, project leader for IBM Research. “Future applications of computing will increasingly demand functionality that is not efficiently delivered by the traditional architecture. These chips are another significant step in the evolution of computers from calculators to learning systems, signaling the beginning of a new generation of computers and their applications in business, science and government.”
Neurosynaptic Chips
While they contain no biological elements, IBM’s first cognitive computing prototype chips use digital silicon circuits inspired by neurobiology to make up what is referred to as a “neurosynaptic core” with integrated memory (replicated synapses), computation (replicated neurons) and communication (replicated axons).
IBM has two working prototype designs. Both cores were fabricated in 45 nm SOI-CMOS and contain 256 neurons. One core contains 262,144 programmable synapses and the other contains 65,536 learning synapses. The IBM team has successfully demonstrated simple applications like navigation, machine vision, pattern recognition, associative memory and classification.
IBM’s overarching cognitive computing architecture is an on-chip network of light-weight cores, creating a single integrated system of hardware and software. This architecture represents a critical shift away from traditional von Neumann computing to a potentially more power-efficient architecture that has no set programming, integrates memory with processor, and mimics the brain’s event-driven, distributed and parallel processing.
IBM’s long-term goal is to build a chip system with ten billion neurons and hundred trillion synapses, while consuming merely one kilowatt of power and occupying less than two liters of volume.
Why Cognitive Computing
Future chips will be able to ingest information from complex, real-world environments through multiple sensory modes and act through multiple motor modes in a coordinated, context-dependent manner.
For example, a cognitive computing system monitoring the world's water supply could contain a network of sensors and actuators that constantly record and report metrics such as temperature, pressure, wave height, acoustics and ocean tide, and issue tsunami warnings based on its decision making. Similarly, a grocer stocking shelves could use an instrumented glove that monitors sights, smells, texture and temperature to flag bad or contaminated produce. Making sense of real-time input flowing at an ever-dizzying rate would be a Herculean task for today’s computers, but would be natural for a brain-inspired system.
“Imagine traffic lights that can integrate sights, sounds and smells and flag unsafe intersections before disaster happens or imagine cognitive co-processors that turn servers, laptops, tablets, and phones into machines that can interact better with their environments,” said Dr. Modha.
For Phase 2 of SyNAPSE, IBM has assembled a world-class multi-dimensional team of researchers and collaborators to achieve these ambitious goals. The team includes Columbia University; Cornell University; University of California, Merced; and University of Wisconsin, Madison.
IBM has a rich history in the area of artificial intelligence research going all the way back to 1956 when IBM performed the world's first large-scale (512 neuron) cortical simulation. Most recently, IBM Research scientists created Watson, an analytical computing system that specializes in understanding natural human language and provides specific answers to complex questions at rapid speeds. Watson represents a tremendous breakthrough in computers understanding natural language, “real language” that is not specially designed or encoded just for computers, but language that humans use to naturally capture and communicate knowledge.
IBM’s cognitive computing chips were built at its highly advanced chip-making facility in Fishkill, N.Y. and are currently being tested at its research labs in Yorktown Heights, N.Y. and San Jose, Calif.

Todays been a very strange day, a helicopter has been circling around my residence all day.And just as my daughter left to go to the store i watched as the helicopter followed her.Anyone else having this happen to them???
Watched an interesting movie last night, Pat Tillman story.
Pro football player who turned down a million dollar contract after 9-11
to fight for his country.And to find out they used him to promote the war
then had him killed and tryed to cover it up!How do these people sleep at night? My prayers go out to his family!And what an amazing family they are!If you havent seen this movie i would definitely recommend it!!!
They must get their endorphins from this. I think they are addicted. As soon as I posted, 2 PM small loud plane....
Wait. After reviewing my journal, (I keep one due to memory problems. I may have a brain injury from this.) There was one small plane over my grocery store and one distant large one while walking my dog.
Quiet today. No aircraft. Yesterday was aircraft every half hour. Usually during times they considered important, like eating or waking up.
Today there are no aircraft.
The perps get screwed because it isn't the abundance of aircraft, but the absence of it that really stands out.
This is not an air travel corrider. There are no convenient airports within 10 miles. Now it's totally quiet.
You haven't lived until you have seen a pregnant woman airstalked or artificially stressed. I have. They got put in the TI list because they were pregnant. There's a new one for you.
They went to my room with increased surveillance 2000-2001 and I told to EEOC and another important organization. But it is not important.
They play hate songs in the cars openly. It is not happening.
There are people committing suicides because of this and related issues. It is not relevant to your case.
The events used in hate films are connected with events that only happened when I had problems with two companies. But it is only my perception and it cannot be connected.
The are a lot of people making money with the films, clips and songs , all describing how I am going to be killed or something similar. People are laughing at that, like in a party. But it is not a lynching.
They have threatened me with contracting daggers and the like to kill me. But if I cannot catch in the act, even though they play songs, it cannot be proved.
Electronic methods that can provoke cancer are used against me. But it is funny the way that they are used.
I loose a lot of opportunities related to all this since 2008. But it is my fault.
They go to the hospitals and experiment with me with non-lethal weapons. It cannot be proved. How will it be proved if there are no protocols to even recognize their existence?
There are a lot of guys who go to the bioethics commission complaining about the same thing. But they are not going to be heard anymore for the time being.
Protesters are silenced.
Nothing Is Happening. Everything is OK.
Some movies some of may relate to;Gamer, Stranger Than Fiction, The Truman Show, Inception. Does any body relate to them all? I do. Iv'e experienced all of them. What really interests me is how many of us have been falsy charged with something and then 'gamed'. In principle, many of us may have lived the movie. Also-many people have seen these movies and need to be aware that they are based upon a horrifying reality. I am also interested in how many of us 'voluteered' or were lied about what was to actually happen. I have heard of people doing so and then being killed when they would no longer willingly participate.
Stay strong!
Contact your local ACLU. Once they have enough people on board, they can take action on our behalf. All we need are the numbers. We can base the claim on Articles of THe Constitution of the USA. We are not being allowed legal recourse for the violations happening to us all.
We WILL win!

Today's air stalker has been going all day. During each "important" event in my day. They are also tainting grocery store food. Just as I was about to take a bite of food the loud little plane buzzed my apt.
It air stalked a woman as she died once. Some sort of murderer I think.
In what refers to the places where I worked:
. means first place
.. means second place
All people who worked with me in those places have either a . or .. added to the initials which identifies them.
