TL;DR: Selective tibial neurotomy of the soleus nerve induces long-term reduction of reflex hyperexcitability and passive stiffness of plantar flexors in spastic patients, with no lasting impairment of motor efferents.
Abstract: The neuromechanical consequences of tibial neurotomy have not been extensively studied. Fifteen patients were evaluated before and after selective tibial neurotomy (after 2 months and after 15 months) by means of clinical, neurophysiological [tendon (T) reflexes, Hoffmann (H) reflexes and maximum motor response, Mmax] and mechanical parameters (passive stiffness of plantar flexors at the ankle). The neurotomy concerned the soleus (100 % of cases), gastrocnemius (20 % of cases), posterior tibial (60 % of cases) and flexor digitorum longus (47 % of cases) nerves. Neurotomy provided more than 90 % improvement of clinical spasticity scores, 20 % improvement of walking scores and the angle of passive dorsiflexion (APDF) of the ankle (mean angle: 7°), temporary reduction of the soleus Mmax (18 % at 2 months with return to the preoperative value at 15 months), and lasting reduction of the soleus Hmax/Mmax (68 % at 2 months, 78 % at 15 months) and T/Mmax (84 % at 2 months, 80 % at 15 months). M and H responses of the gastrocnemius (whether or not they were included in the neurotomy) were not modified, while T/Mmax decreased to the same degree as for soleus. Passive stiffness was lastingly decreased from 64.0 Nm/rad to 49.0 Nm/rad (2 months) and 49.5 Nm/rad (15 months). Selective tibial neurotomy of the soleus nerve induces long-term reduction of reflex hyperexcitability and passive stiffness of plantar flexors in spastic patients, with no lasting impairment of motor efferents. In parallel, it modifies the tendon reflexes of synergistic muscles (gastrocnemius) not concerned by the neurotomy.

TL;DR: These findings are the first direct demonstration that successive rearrangements occur, on the same chromosome, in the human T cell receptor gamma locus, and suggest that the chronology of the joining events plays a role in the ontogeny of T cells and their differentiation in gamma/delta + and alpha/beta + lineages.
Abstract: Novel variable (V)--joining (J) gene rearrangements are described in the human T cell receptor gamma locus, in which, on the one hand, the V3 variable gene is joined to the heptamer--nonamer recombination signals of the J1 segment and, on the other hand, the J1 segment is joined to the V3 recombination signals through head-to-head fusion. These recombination products, or hybrid joints, have been originated through an inversion of 47 kb DNA. Interestingly the inverted DNA stretch contains a normal V9-J9 rearrangement. These findings are the first direct demonstration that successive rearrangements occur, on the same chromosome, in the human T cell receptor gamma locus, and suggest that the chronology of the joining events plays a role in the ontogeny of T cells and their differentiation in gamma/delta + and alpha/beta + lineages.
