Pick’s disease with Pick bodies combined with progressive supranuclear palsy without tuft‐shaped astrocytes: A clinical,neuroradiologic and pathological study of an autopsied case

We report clinical, neuroradiologic features, and neuropathologic findings of a 76‐year‐old man with coexistent Pick’s disease and progressive supranuclear palsy. The patient presented with loss of recent memory, abnormal behavior and change in personality at the age of 60. The symptoms were progressive. Three years later, repetitive or compulsive behavior became prominent. About 9 years after onset, he had difficulty moving and became bed‐ridden because of a fracture of his left leg. His condition gradually deteriorated and he developed mutism and became vegetative. The patient died from pneumonia 16 years after the onset of symptoms. Serial MRI scans showed progressive cortex atrophy, especially in the bilateral frontal and temporal lobes. Macroscopic inspection showed severe atrophy of the whole brain, including cerebrum, brainstem and cerebellum. Microscopic observations showed extensive superficial spongiosis and severe neuronal loss with gliosis in the second and third cortical layers in the frontal, temporal and parietal cortex. There were Pick cells and argyrophilic Pick bodies, which were tau‐ and ubiquitin‐positive in neurons of layers II–III of the above‐mentioned cortex. Numerous argyrophilic Pick bodies were observed in the hippocampus, especially in the dentate fascia. In addition, moderate to severe loss of neurons was found with gliosis and a lot of Gallyas/tau‐positive globus neurofibrillary tangles in the caudate nucleus, globus pallidus, thalamus, substantia nigra, locus coeruleus and dentate nucleus. Numerous thorned‐astrocytes and coiled bodies but no‐tuft shaped astrocytes were noted in the basal ganglion, brainstem and cerebellar white matter. In conclusion, these histopathological features were compatible with classical Pick’s disease and coexistence with progressive supranuclear palsy without tuft‐shaped astrocytes.

膝关节运动过程的应力数值模拟

目的观察膝关节关节面在整个运动过程中的应力、应变分布范围、大小及变化规律。方法利用有限元数值模拟方法对行走过程中膝关节关节面应力、应变情况进行分析。结果与结论行走过程中关节面产生应力、应变随时间推移而增加，并且变化规律近似的服从抛物线变化。通过对不同体重的人在行走时膝关节面上产生的应力分析得出，体重对关节面上的应力的大小并不产生重大影响，体重带来的应力差异仅占总应力的10％。     

人精子体外氧化损伤对线粒体tRNA~(LeuUUR)基因的影响

目的:探讨活性氧(ROS)对人类精子线粒体tRNALeuUUR基因的氧化损伤。方法:采用Percoll梯度离心法筛选具有正常生理功能的精子,作为正常精子模型,并分为损伤组20例和对照组20例,分别加入次黄嘌呤-黄嘌呤氧化酶体系或不予处理,37℃有氧环境中孵育60min。分别提取精子DNA,以Fpg酶切损伤碱基并采用接头介导PCR(LM-PCR)检测线粒体tRNALeuUUR基因的氧化损伤。采用Rhodamine(Rh123)荧光探针标记精子,通过流式细胞仪检测线粒体膜电位,观察精子的功能。结果:与对照组相比,损伤组精子孵育后线粒体膜电位明显降低[(116.27±11.72)%vs(64.00±4.88)%,P<0.05]。Fpg酶切和LM-PCR显示精子线粒体tRNALeuUUR基因损伤。结论:ROS可能通过对精子线粒体tRNALeuUUR基因氧化损伤而影响精子功能(线粒体膜电位明显降低),从而引起不育。

Thyroid diseases associated with interferon α treatment for viral hepatitis

There are many complications during the interferon alpha (IFNα) treatment for viral hep-atitis,and thyroid disease is the most common side-effect in endocrine aspects. Thus, clinicians are drawing much attention to the interferon induced thyroiditis (IIT). Though the etiology is not clear,some factors may contribute to the susceptibility to IIT, such as genetic predisposition, gender,and hepatitis C virus (HCV) in-fection. The pathogenesis may be secondary to immune modulation by IFNα and/or by its direct effects on the thyroid. Autoimmune IIT may manifest as Graves' disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis and the development of thyroid antibodies without clinical symptoms. Non-autoimmune IIT can manifest as destructive thyroiditis or hypothyroidism with negative thyroid antibodies. Screening for autoantibodies and serum thyroid-stimulating hormone(TSH)is recommended before, during and after IFNα treatment. Early detection and therapy of these conditions is important.
