Abstract
Vocal fold paralysis is one of the diseases that particularly affect quality of life. While unilateral paralysis leads to glottis closure insufficiency and hoarseness, bilateral paralysis compromises respiration and limits the exercise tolerance. Bioimplants have been used to treat persistent paralysis for over 100 years. The spectrum ranges from autologous tissue transfer and resorbable or permanent injection materials to composite thyroplasty implants and active electrical implants for neurostimulation of the larynx. If bioimplants are used in accordance with the recommendations, the quality of life of affected patients can be significantly improved today.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION With a view to simplifying surgical techniques for selective laryngeal reinnervation, we addressed the question of whether it is feasible to receive additional innervation by a partially denervated muscle using an infrahyoid muscle model. METHODS In 90 rats (6 groups of 15), phrenic nerve transfer was used to reinnervate the sternothyroid muscle. In some cases, residual innervation by the original nerve was present. Three months later we performed electromyographic studies, contraction strength measurements, histologic assessment, and retrograde labeling. RESULTS Muscles reinnervated by the phrenic nerve had a greater "dual-response" rate (in terms of nerve latency, contraction strength, and retrograde labeling) than muscles in the control groups. DISCUSSION The phrenic nerve can impart its inspiratory properties to an initially denervated strap muscle-even when residual innervation is present. The preservation of contractile potential confirmed the feasibility of dual innervation in a previously injured muscle. Muscle Nerve 59:108-115, 2019.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects on the diaphragm of upper phrenic nerve root resections in dogs. During laryngeal reinnervation, selective resections of the upper phrenic nerve root (C5) were performed unilaterally (right side, n=7; Group A) and bilaterally (n=6; Group B) and compared to non denervated animals (n=5). After 8 months, a diaphragmatic evaluation was performed: X-ray, EMG, transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi) after ipsi- and bilateral tetanic stimulation of the phrenic nerves and a bilateral histological study of five hemidiaphragmatic regions. EMG alterations were significantly more severe in Group B than in Group A, for the left (p<0.05) and right hemidiaphragms (p<0.01). No differences in the X-rays were noted between the three groups. The Pdi of the three groups after occlusion and phrenic nerve stimulations (unilateral and bilateral) were not statistically different. Histological data demonstrated that there were no differences in fibre irregularity, predominant fibre type or fibrosis between the three groups. Macroscopic and microscopic atrophy, which was mainly present on the anterior regions of the hemidiaphragms, was significantly higher in Group B than in Group A and undenervated dogs (p<0.05). In conclusion, resection of the upper phrenic nerve root of one phrenic nerve (right side) have limited effect on the diaphragm in dogs. However, resection of the upper phrenic nerve root on both sides resulted in a significant effect on the EMGs and histology of the entire diaphragm without any significant consequences on transdiaphragmatic pressure.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate diaphragmatic strength in patients with unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis and to determine whether patients with recent diaphragm paralysis develop lower inspiratory pressure than patients with longstanding diaphragmatic paralysis. Twenty patients (16 men and 4 women, 62+/-12 years) and six control subjects were included (4 men and 2 women, 53+/-15 years) in the study. Esophageal pressure during sharp sniff (Pes,sniff), bilateral cervical phrenic nerve magnetic stimulation (Pes,cms) and unilateral phrenic nerve stimulation (Pes,ums) (in nine patients) were measured. Sixteen patients presented right diaphragmatic paralysis and four, left diaphragmatic paralysis. Pes,sniff was higher in control subjects than in patients with diaphragmatic paralysis (respectively 110+/-22 cmH2O and 82+/-24 cmH2O, P<0.05). There was no difference in Pes,cms between patients with diaphragmatic paralysis and control subjects (14+/-7 cmH2O vs. 16+/-4 cmH2O; ns). Pes,ums after stimulation of the affected phrenic nerve was less than 4 cmH2O, was 8+/-2 cmH2O after stimulation of the intact phrenic nerve and was correlated to Pes,cms (R=0.87, P<0.01). There was a positive correlation between Pes,cms, Pes,ums of the intact hemidiaphragm, Pes,sniff and the time from the onset of symptoms and the diaphragmatic explorations (respectively R=0.86, P<0.0001; R=0.72, P<0.05; R=0.48, P<0.05). In conclusion, diaphragmatic strength after unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis seems to improve with time.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the possibilities of reinnervation in a paralyzed hemidiaphragm via an anastomosis between phrenic nerve and inferior laryngeal nerve in rabbits. Reinnervation of a paralyzed diaphragm could be an alternative to treat patients with ventilatory insufficiency due to upper cervical spine injuries. MATERIAL AND METHOD Rabbits were divided into five groups of seven rabbits each. Groups I and II were respectively the healthy and the denervated control groups. The 3 other groups were all reinnervated using three different surgical procedures. In groups III and IV, phrenic nerve was respectively anastomosed with the abductor branch of the inferior laryngeal nerve and with the trunk of the inferior laryngeal nerve. In group V, the fifth and fourth cervical roots were respectively anastomosed with the abductor branch of the inferior laryngeal nerve and with the nerve of the sternothyroid muscle (originating from the hypoglossal nerve). Animals were evaluated 4 months later using electromyography, transdiaphragmatic pressure measurements, sonomicrometry and histological examination. RESULTS A poor inspiratory activity was found in quiet breathing in the reinnervated groups, with an increasing pattern of activity during effort. In the reinnervated groups, transdiaphragmatic pressure measurements and sonomicrometry were higher in group III with no significant difference with groups IV and V. CONCLUSION Inspiratory contractility of an hemidiaphragm could be restored with immediate anastomosis after phrenic nerve section between phrenic nerve and inferior laryngeal nerve.

Abstract
Phrenic nerve stimulation, electrical (ES) or from cervical magnetic stimulation (CMS), allows one to assess the diaphragm contractile properties and the conduction time of the phrenic nerve (PNCT) through recording of an electromyographic response, traditionally by using surface electrodes. Because of the coactivation of extradiaphragmatic muscles, signal contamination can jeopardize the determination of surface PNCTs. To address this, we compared PNCTs with ES and CMS from surface and needle diaphragm electrodes in five subjects (10 phrenic nerves). At a modified recording site, lower and more anterior than usual (lowest accessible intercostal space, costochondral junction) with electrodes 2 cm apart, surface and needle PNCTs were similar (CMS: 6.0 +/- 0.25 ms surface vs. 6.2 +/- 0.13 ms needle, not significant). Electrodes recording the activity of the most likely sources of signal contamination, i.e., the serratus anterior and pectoralis major, showed distinct responses from that of the diaphragm, their earlier occurrence strongly arguing against contamination. With ES and CMS, apparently uncontaminated signals could be consistently recorded from surface electrodes.

Abstract
In order to compare application of the roots of the phrenic nerve to the ansa hypoglossi for laryngeal muscle neurotization, 1 or more roots from the phrenic nerve were implanted into the right sternothyroid (RST) muscle of rabbits (n = 36). Controls were intact animals (in which RST innervation is provided by the ansa; n = 6) and denervated ones (n = 6). At 66 +/- 2 days (mean +/- SE) after neurotization, during quiet breathing, inspiratory electromyographic activity and isometric contraction force were observed in all reinnervated RST muscles (n = 24). During maximal inspiratory effort, electromyographic activity and force increased. In animals reinnervated by the C4 root alone, forces (46.22 +/- 7.8 g) were significantly higher than in intact animals (10.83 +/- 5.0 g). Retrograde labeling proved the phrenic origin of the neurotization. Electromyography of the diaphragm was recorded. We conclude that in rabbits, neurotization of a strap muscle by 1 or 2 roots of the phrenic nerve allows inspiratory contraction, even during quiet breathing. Such inspiratory activity is not observed in sternothyroid muscles of intact animals innervated by the ansa hypoglossi.

Abstract
The cervical anatomy of the different nerve contributions that constitute the phrenic nerve (phrenic nerve roots and accessory phrenic nerve) were studied in rabbits. In 55 dissections, 6 main root arrangement types were observed. The roots that issued from the fourth and fifth cervical nerves (C4 and C5 roots) were constant. The C4 root was either short or long. The C6 root was at times absent, or sometimes double. An accessory phrenic nerve was present in 43% of the right and 28% of the left dissections. The distribution of the phrenic nerve roots often displayed left-right asymmetry. We conclude that a better knowledge of the cervical anatomy of the phrenic nerve is useful both in physiological studies involving diaphragm denervation and in experimental laryngeal reinnervation.

Abstract
This study evaluates the delayed respiratory consequences of selective resection of one or several roots of the right phrenic nerve in rabbits. A total of 50 animals were operated on according to five modalities of root resection. A total of 11 animals served as control. The breathing pattern was analysed 8 weeks after surgery. Transdiaphragmatic pressure was measured during transjugular supramaximal stimulation of the phrenic nerve, unilaterally or bilaterally and during prolonged tracheal occlusion (PImax). No difference was observed between the esophageal pressure observed during bilateral phrenic nerve stimulation (BilPeso) in control animals when compared to animals with resection of the highest root of the right phrenic nerve (16.2 +/- 1.0 versus 14.5 +/- 1.0 cmH2O (mean +/- SE). Resection of the two highest or of the two lowest roots of the right phrenic nerve resulted in a similar BilPeso (11.3 +/- 0.8 versus 11.1 +/- 1.2 cmH2O). Preservation of only the accessory phrenic nerve (PN) resulted in a low value of BilPeso (9.8 +/- 1.0 cmH2O) similar to that obtained with complete denervation of the right hemidiaphragm. Ventilation and PImax were not different between the denervated or intact rabbits during quiet breathing. We conclude that in rabbits: (1) Diaphragmatic function is preserved after resection of the highest root of the phrenic nerve. (2) Diaphragmatic function is altered if only the APN is preserved.
