Summary The presence of connective tissue elements in gliomas necessitates in every case a thorough analysis of the character and derivation of such elements to allow the formulation of an appropriate diagnosis. Four cases are presented in this paper. In cases 1 and 2 (anaplastic astrocytomas in two children, 9 and 4 years old, respectively) all the neoplastic elements were astrocytes and their ability to produce or indirectly promote the production of reticulin and collagen fibers accounted for the presence of such elements in close association with the tumor cells. The term gliofibroma has been coined for such tumors, but desmoplastic astrocytoma, (low grade or anaplastic) or in highly malignant cases desmoplastic glioblastoma, as the case may be, also seem to be appropriate terms for such neoplasms. In contrast, cases 3 and 4 represented composite tumors in adults (66 and 58 years old, respectively) and the neoplasms of these patients consisted of glioblastoma and sarcoma, the latter component demonstrably being of vascular origin. This is the type of tumor usually referred to as gliosarcoma or Feigin tumor. Although some apparent similarities between the two groups may exist at times, the histogenesis of the latter group's sarcomatous or sarcoma-like portions is different from that of the first group and, therefore, warrants separate diagnostic terms and placement in brain tumor classification.Parts of this paper have been presented in poster form at the 68th annual meeting of the American Association of Neuropathologists in St. Louis on June 20, 1992 [31] 相似文献

Abstract.Background: Angst has recently found an association between the
bipolar spectrum and a personality trait called ups &
downs, defined by the question would you say you were one of
those people who have frequent ups and downs?. Study aimwas to
find the frequency of ups & downs in a large sample of
bipolar II (BPII) and major depressive disorder (MDD),and to
test its association with BPII.Methods: Consecutive 89 MDD and 89 BPII outpatients were
interviewed, during a major depressive episode (MDE),with the
Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV, as modified by Benazzi
and Akiskal (2003). Hypomanic symptoms during MDE were
systematically assessed. The association between ups &
downs (defined by Angsts question) and BPII was tested versus
bipolar validators (young onset, many recurrences, atypical
depression, depressive mixed state [MDE plus 3 or more
concurrent hypomanic symptoms, following Akiskal and Benazzis
definition (2003)], and bipolar family history. Associations
were tested by univariate and multivariate logistic regression
(STATA 7).Results: ups & downs was present in 62.9% of BPII and in
33.7% of MDD (ratio = 1.86, p = 0.0001). All bipolar validators
were significantly more common in BPII versus MDD. Sensitivity
and specificity of bipolar validators for predicting BPII,
including ups & downs, showed that ups & downs had a
balanced combination of sensitivity (62.9 %) and specificity
(66.2 %) (i. e., sensitivity not too low compared to specificity
and vice versa) for predicting BPII, and that it was strongly
associated with BPII (odds ratio = 3.3, 95% CI 1.8–6.1).
Multivariate analyses found that ups & downs independently
and significantly predicted BPII among the other bipolar
validators. Patients did not confuse ups & downs with many
past MDEs, as the association with BPII did not change when
controlled for recurrences.Conclusions: Findings suggest that Angsts ups and downs might be a
new marker of BPII. Its simple question might be useful to
clinicians to better detect the highly underdiagnosed BPII
during assessment of depression. 相似文献

Expression of the human placental form of glutathione S-transferase (GST-) in pediatric gliomas, consisting of three pilocytic astrocytomas (grade 1), two fibrillary astrocytomas (grade 2), three anaplastic astrocytomas (grade 3), and one glioblastoma multiforme (grade 4), were investigated by immunohistochemical methods. Western blot analysis for GST- using proteins extracted from formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded glioma specimens was performed and compared with the results of immunohistochemistry. Both the immunohistochemical examination and the Western blot analysis of pediatric gliomas revealed that malignant gliomas such as anaplastic astrocytoma and glioblastoma had strong expression of GST- while benign gliomas showed weak GST- expression. 相似文献

Summary The origin of the extracellular -amyloid protein (/A4) found in senile plaques and the cellular mechanisms responsible for its deposition in cerebral tissues are still an unresolved issue in Alzheimer's disease. In this study we analyzed in detail the distribution of various epitopes of /A4 in relation to local cellular elements in diffuse plaques of the hippocampal region. We also correlated our findings with the presence and distribution of non-/A4 epitopes of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) and with synaptophysin immunoreactivity in the cortical neuropil. Discontinuous /A4-immunoreactive deposits were found along dendrites, and around the soma of neurons included in the plaques. Furthermore, increased synaptophysin reactivity with slightly dilated synaptophysin-immunolabeled presynaptic terminals were found in diffuse plaques. APP epitopes could not be found in diffuse plaques. However, some of the APP antibodies, mainly those to the C-terminal portion of APP, and antibodies to /A4 recognized clusters of flat vesicular profiles (0.6–1.4 m in width and 2–3 m in length) in the neuropil of cortical areas where plaques had developed. Our findings are compatible with a neuronal origin of /A4 in diffuse plaques and with a primary release of /A4 at synaptic sites along the immunostained neurites. They also suggest that diffuse plaques might be preceded by minute lesions of the neuropil where /A4 is not yet released from the precursor molecule. 相似文献

The paper describes the relationships between the Revised Clinical Interview Schedule (CISR) and the assessment of psychiatric status by primary care providers in Harare. Primary care clinic (PHC) and traditional medical practitioner (TMP) clinic attenders (n=302) were interviewed with the Shona Symptom Questionnaire, the CISR and the Explanatory Model Interview. The PHC nurses and TMP were interviewed to elicit diagnostic formulation using the WHO Health Staff Rating codes. Etic cases were those who scored 12 or more on the CISR and emic cases were those whom the care provider had assessed as having a mental disorder. In all, 52% of subjects were classified as etic cases and 59% as emic cases. Overall agreement between the two criteria was 55%. Three-quarters of care provider false-positives were accounted for by a failure to take into account the varying reasons for consultation, such as social or spiritual problems. Most of the false-negative groups were symptomatic subjects, though with fewer symptoms than those who were definite cases. One etic conceptphobia-was not considered as a mental disorder and appeared to lack concept validity in this setting. 相似文献

Summary The current study describes the presence of neuroendocrine antigens of peripheral and central neural tumors using eight monoclonal antibodies raised to small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC), which recognize neural/neuroendocrine or neural antigens, as defined by their reaction pattern in normal tissues and tumors. At least five of them recognize different epitopes of the neural cell adhesion molecule (N-CAM). It was found that all of 12 neuroblastomas, 2 ganglioneuroblastomas and 4 ganglioneuromas as well as 23 central primitive neuroectodermal tumors, 13 astrocytomas and 4 ependymomas share neural/neuroendocrine antigens (as defined by the anti-N-CAM antibodies Moc-1,-21,-32,-52 and-191) with SCLC. The neural/neuroendocrine antigen defined by Moc-171 was also found in all peripheral tumors, but only in further differentiated central tumors. Non-N-CAM related neural antigens (as defined by Moc-51 and-172) were found only in better-differentiated peripheral and central tumors, but they could be demonstrated in all three medulloblastoma cell lines studied. In addition, the antigen defined by Moc-51 was demonstrated in an immunoblot of a neuroblastoma cell line. Antibodies recognizing epithelia antigens of SCLC and other epithelia and their tumors (Moc-31 and-181) were non-reactive. It was concluded that these findings give further support for a relation between neural and neuroendocrine tumors and that some of the antibodies may be useful for the detection of differentiation in neural tumors. Antibodies with an epithelia recognition pattern may serve to distinguish neural from neuroendocrine tumors.Supported by NIH grant CA 36245 W.M.M. was a Fullbright scholar 相似文献

Summary A large series of central and peripheral nervous system tumors was studied for the presence of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and -enolase (neuron-specific enolase, NSE), using specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). Occurrence in and specificity of GFAP to glial and mixed tumors was confirmed and depended on the malignancy grade and features such as meningeal invasion. Using a well-characterized mAb, -enolase was demonstrated in neuronal, as well as in a whole range of non-neuronal tumors. This lack of specificity of -enolase prohibits its use as an exclusive neuronal marker. Nevertheless quantization or comparison with other types of enolases could still prove to be useful in well-defined situations. The advantages inherent to mAbs and a highly sensitive detection system turn GFAP stainings into a specific and readily reproducible technique.Supported in part by FGWO (grant no. 3.0019.86) and by the Geconcerteerde Actie (grant no. 84/89-68, Brain specific proteins) 相似文献

Summary. Aminoglutethimide (AGLD, an inhibitor of adrenal steroid synthesis) up to 5mg/kg and spironolactone (SPIR, a mineralocorticosteroid antagonist and a weak antiandrogen) up to 50mg/kg did not affect any seizure parameter in amygdala-kindled rats. AGLD (10mg/kg) significantly reduced seizure activity in rats of both gender. The combination of AGLD (5mg/kg) with phenobarbital (PB, applied at its subeffective dose of 15mg/kg) significantly shortened motor seizure and afterdischarge duration in amygdala-kindled seizures. The combined treatment of AGLD (5mg/kg) and clonazepam (CLO) at its subeffective dose of 0.01mg/kg caused significant reduction of the seizure severity, seizure duration and afterdischarge duration. Finally, AGLD (5mg/kg) proved ineffective upon the action of valproate (VPA) in this model of epilepsy. In contrast to AGLD, SPIR (50mg/kg) did not affect the action of PB, CLO or VPA against kindled seizures in rats. AGLD did not alter the free plasma levels and brain concentration of PB or CLO, so a pharmacokinetic interaction does not seem probable. Among a variety of chemoconvulsants, bicuculline and N-methyl-D-aspartic acid reversed the effects of AGLD/PB and AGLD/CLO combinations. Aminophylline, kainic acid, strychnine and the glucocorticosteroid (hydrocortisone) were ineffective in this respect. Our data confirm the hypothesis that AGLD-mediated events may play a role in seizure activity and can affect the anticonvulsant activity of some conventional antiepileptic drugs against kindled seizures. Moreover, extrapolation of obtained results to clinical practice may indicate that patients with complex partial seizures may be safely co-medicated with AGLD or SPIR without the risk of worsening of seizure control. 相似文献

The spatial patterns of diffuse, primitive and classic /A4 deposits were studied in coronal sections of the hippocampus and adjacent gyri in 11 cases of Down's syndrome (DS) varying in age from 38 to 67 years. The objectives of the study were first, to compare the spatial patterns of /A4 deposits revealed in DS with those reported in cases of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and second, to study how the spatial patterns of /A4 deposits may develop in the tissue. The spatial patterns revealed in DS exhibited a number of similarities with those reported in AD: (1) the range and frequency of the different types of spatial pattern revealed were similar, (2) /A4 deposits occurred in clusters and in many cortical tissues, the clusters were distributed in a regular pattern parallel to the pia, (3) the clusters of diffuse and primitive /A4 deposits occurred in an alternating pattern along the cortex, and (4) the clusters of classic /A4 deposits were not correlated with the clusters of the diffuse and primitive deposits. Primitive deposits may develop from the diffuse deposits in regions of the cortex where extracellular paired helical filaments were formed. However, clusters of the classic /A4 deposits, which are formed in older cases, appear to develop independently of the diffuse and primitive deposits.Supported in part by the Alzheimer's Disease Society, UK 相似文献

Summary Data derived from a psychiatric case-register are presented on the attrition of the cohort of theold long-stay in-patients, and the accumulation of thenew long-stay cases in Lomest, a town in northern Italy, from 1975 to 1980. The characteristics of high user groups of out-patients attending the non-residential services are also described. The analysis seeks to provide some information on who has been left behind by the massive deinstitutionalization programme that has been carried out in Italy since 1970. 相似文献

Twenty patients with optic neuritis (ON) described in the previous study [23] underwent serial VEP recordings (using multiple electrode arrays) for two years. The VEPs could be correlated with the lesions revealed by MRI, Visual Field tests and other clinical findings. On the basis of their scalp distribution, they were classified as really delayed VEPs and pseudo-delayed VEPs.Real delays could be recorded at the onset of ON or shortly afterwards, and their appearance indicated the recovery of visual function and a good prognosis.Pseudo-delays indicated an alteration in the visual field and, unless a breakthrough of normal or delayed components appeared in the first three months, following acute ON, indicate a poor prognosis for the recovery of visual function.The pseudo-delayed VEPs were mainly observed in patients with longer lesions revealed by means of LTE-STIR MRI [23]; there was no correlation between VEP latency and the length of plaques.Our findings contradict previous theories on the timing of conduction alterations in ON and multiple sclerosis.
Sommario I 20 pazienti affetti da Neurite Ottica (NO), descritti nel precedente lavoro [23] sono stati sottoposti a registrazioni seriali multicanali dei Potenziali Evocati Visivi (PEV), per un periodo di 2 anni dall'esordio della NO. I PEV potevano correlare con le lesioni evidenziate con la Risonanza Magnetica, con le alterazioni campimetriche e con altri reperti clinici. Basandoci sulla loro distribuzione in mappa, i PEV sono stati classificati come realmente ritardati e pseudo-ritardati. PEV realmente ritardati potevano essere registrati all'esordio, o precocemente dopo l'episodio di NO, e la presenza del ritardo stava ad indicare un recupero della funzione visiva e, quindi, una prognosi fausta.Gli pseudo-ritardi indicavano un'alterazione del campo visivo a prognosi non favorevole per un recupero della funzione visiva, a meno che entro i primi 3 mesi dalla NO si fosse verificata una ricomparsa di componenti normali o ritardate.Gli pseudo-ritardi erano rilievi caratteristici nei pazienti con lesioni maggiormente lunghe alle immagini LTE-STIR MRI [23]. Nessuna correlazione è stata trovata tra latenza dei PEV e lunghezza delle placche.I nostri rilievi sono in disaccordo con precedenti teorie relative ai tempi di instaurazione-recupero delle alterazioni di conduzione nella NO e nella Sclerosi Multipla.相似文献

We report the cases of two patients presenting a peculiar speech disorder, which we have named echoing approval, in which the patients echo, in replying to questions in a dialogue with short phrases, the positive or negative syntactical construction of a question, or its positive or negative intonation, but without any repetition of whole or part of sentences. When asked about their symptoms, the patients replied 80% of the time with yes, yes, that's right, or exactly to positive questions and no, no or absolutely not to negative questions, regardless of their actual symptoms and oblivious to self-contradiction. In addition, when the examining doctor was speaking to a medical colleague in the patient's presence and using medical terminology that the patient did not understand, he/she agreed or disagreed with any sentence and technical word uttered in a way entirely dependent on the syntax or intonation used. To distinguish this speech disorder from echolalia or verbal perseverations, with which it may be superficially confused, we suggest that it be called echoing approval, as it may be part one of the manifestations of the environment-dependency syndrome. This clinical picture was found to be associated with features of transcortical motor aphasia and frontal lobe signs. One patient had a bilateral callosofrontal malignant glioma and the other a probable multiple system atrophy with global deterioration, pre-eminent frontal release signs, diffuse leukoencephalopathy and multiple lacunes. On the basis of these clinical deficits and neuroimaging features, we are unable to delineate the common, or minimal, lesioned network required for this symptomatology to occur, especially in the absence of a series of patients, and with such a difference in both the location and causes of the lesions. However, bilateral frontosubcortical dysfunction was pre-eminent in the clinical picture in both patients, even though more diffuse brain pathology was seen in one, and it might be speculated that dysfunction of the bilateral orbitofrontal and frontomesial motor frontosubcortical circuits might be involved in the aetiology of this peculiar speech disorder. 相似文献

This paper describes one variation in the battering phenomenon which was initially observed among low-income women. The strategies of coercion and deception utilized by the abusive male in these relationships are described and compared with similar strategies of mind control utilized in more traditional cultic systems. The debilitating effects of these techniques on the battered female are described, as is the battering male's own separation reaction, and the probable dynamics of the men and women involved in this pathological family system. Some preliminary assessment and treatment guidelines are offered.Dr. Boulette is a registered nurse, marriage, family, and child counselor, and licensed psychologist. She is currently employed at Santa Barbara County Mental Health Services as senior clinical psychologist.

Summary The immunohistochemical distribution of and subunits of S-100 protein (S-100, S-100, respectively) in 138 cases of human brain tumors was investigated by the avidin-biotin immunoperoxidase method. Brain tumors can be divided into four groups: group 1 [S-100 (+) and/or S-100 (+)]; astrocytoma, glioblastoma, ependymoma, subependymoma, oligodendroglioma, choroid plexus papilloma, gangliocytoma, meningioma, chordoma, malignant melanoma. Group 2 [S-100 (+) and S-100 (-)]; pineoblastoma, pituitary adenoma, craniopharyngioma, rhabdomyosarcoma. Group 3 [S-100 (-) and S-100 (+)]; acoustic Schwannoma. Group 4 [S-100 (-) and S-100 (-)]; medulloblastoma, malignant lymphoma, germinoma. The S-100 immunoreactivity pattern in brain tumors was similar to those obtained using conventional anti-S-100 protein sera. In the first group of brain tumors both the number of positively stained tumor cells and the staining intensity were generally greater for S-100 than for S-100 with a few exceptions including one gemistocytic astrocytoma, one subependymoma, one malignant melanoma, and some cases of glioblastomas. As to the relationship between malignancy and S-100 protein in glioma, S-100 immunoreactivity decreased according to degree of malignancy, while that of S-100 varied, suggesting a heterogeneity of tumor cells in glioblastomas. Immunostaining for S-100 and S-100 might become a useful diagnostic procedure in brain tumors and may give us more detailed and precise data of S-100 protein in brain tumors. 相似文献

Summary The density of the cytoplasm and axoplasm of the anterior horn cell in rats was determined by X-ray microradiography. The average density of the cytoplasm of more than 400 cells from control rats was 0.31 g/3, while that of over 600 cells from rats fed IDPN (- iminodipropionitrile) was 0.43 g/3.Hyperactivity developed during the first 5 weeks and was associated with a gradual increase in cytoplasmic density to 0.51 g/3.At 6 weeks there was a drop in density to 0.36 g/3 which coincided with the appearance of axonal balloons having a density of 0.17 g/3.During the 7–12th week on the diet, the cytoplasmic density showed a gradual increase to 0.59 g/3 and the balloons to 0.29 g/3.The volume of the nerve cells remained fairly constant. The density increases were discussed in relation to hypertrophy, dystrophy, and hyperactivity.

Zusammenfassung Die Dichte des Cytoplasmas und Axoplasmas der Vorderhornzellen von Ratten wurde durch Röntgenmikroradiographie bestimmt. Die mittlere Dichte des Cytoplasmas von mehr als 400 Zellen der Kontrollratten war 0,31 g/3, während die mittlere Dichte von mehr als 600 Zellen der Ratten, die mit IDPN (- iminodipropionitrile) gefüttert waren, 0,43 g/3 war.Hyperaktivität entwickelte sich während der ersten 5 Wochen und war mit einer progressiven Zunahme der Cytoplasmadichte bis auf 0,51 g/3 verbunden.Nach 6 Wochen sank die Dichte auf 0,36 g/3. Diese Tatsache traf mit dem Auftreten der Axonauftreibungen zusammen, die eine Dichte von 0,17 g/3 hatten.Nach 7–12 Wochen zeigte die Cytoplasmadichte eine progressive Zunahme auf 0,59 g/3 und die der Auftreibungen eine Zunahme auf 0,29 g/3.Das Volumen der Nervenzellen blieb ziemlich konstant.Die möglichen Zusammenhänge zwischen Zunahme der Dichte, Hypertrophie, Dystrophie und Hyperaktivität werden dargestellt.

Summary Single drug therapy with either phenytoin or primidone resulted in complete seizure control in 11 of 35 patients (31%) referred to an epilepsy clinic for treatment of uncontrolled chronic epilepsy with complex-partial seizures. Complete seizure control was associated with an increase in the mean plasma concentrations from 14 g/ml to 23 g/ml phenytoin and from 34 g/ml to 40 g/ml phenobarbitone with no change in the antiepileptic drug. Insufficiently low plasma concentrations of less than 11 g/ml phenytoin or phenobarbitone were measured at the first visit in 14 patients (40%). Non-compliance was admitted by eight patients (23%). Optimum single drug therapy is of considerable clinical value in intractable epilepsy with complex-partial seizures.
Zusammenfassung Eine Monotherapie mit Phenytoin oder Primidon führte zur Anfallsfreiheit bei 11 von 35 Patienten (31%), die wegen schwerbehandelbarer psychomotorischer Anfälle eine Epilepsieambulanz aufsuchten. Anfallsfreiheit trat auf bei einem Anstieg der mittleren Plasmakonzentration von 14 g/ml auf 23 g/ml Phenytoin und von 34 g/ml auf 40 g/ml Phenobarbital. Ein Wechsel der Medikamente war nicht notwendig. Während der ersten Untersuchung wurden bei 14 Patienten (40%) zu niedrige Plasmakonzentrationen von weniger als 11 g/ml Phenytoin oder Phenobarbital gefunden. 8 Patienten (23%) gaben eine unregelmäßige Einnahme der Medikamente (non-compliance) zu. Eine konsequente Monotherapie ist von klinischem Wert für die Behandlung von schwerbehandelbaren Epilepsien mit psychomotorischen Anfällen.相似文献

Summary The spectrum of clinical signs in cases of superior sagittal sinus thrombosis includes not only focal neurological deficits, seizures and mental disturbances, but also symptoms which may lead to a diagnosis of pseudotumour cerebri (PTC). In 14 cases of angiographically (or autopsy) proven thrombosis of the superior sagittal or both lateral sinuses, the empty triangle sign on contrast CT examination was the most reliable sign, suggesting the diagnosis in 70%. Indirect CT signs (venous infarcts) were observed in all 8 patients with focal neurological signs, but appeared rather delayed in 3 cases. In contrast, patients with benign intracranial hypertension or PTC (6 cases) had normal unenhanced scans (4 cases) or showed slight diffuse brain oedema (2 cases). Magnetic resonance imaging was performed in 4 patients with findings suggestive of intravascular coagulation; however, due to the complexity of flow phenomena, further studies employing this new imaging technique will first have to be performed. Thus, angiography remains the best diagnostic tool and should not be delayed if there is a clinical suspicion of thrombosis. 相似文献

Hyperkinetic children are identified as a population-at risk upon admission to kindergarten. The etiology of hyperkinetic behavior is controversial. Organic driveness, hyperkinetic behavior disorder, postencephalitic behavior, brain damage with behavioral and conceptual deficit, Strauss syndrome, have all been used to label essentially similar symptom constellations. Bypassing the area of controversy, a study is reported that demonstrates that children who were identified as hyperkinetic (using behavioral criteria developed in an earlier study) were (1) absent from school more frequently, and (2) did remarkably less well on standardized tests of school readiness than their peers rated nonhyperkinetic. The implications are discussed and suggestions made for the development of intervention programs.An earlier version of this paper was presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Orthopsychiatric Association, March, 1967. 相似文献

This study examined the attitudes of several diverse subject groups in a large medical center toward various mental health professionals. The groups consisted of: 1) general hospital staff; 2) professional mental health workers; and 3) psychiatric in-patients. Subjects evaluated a selection of 11 professional health related role titles (clinical psychologist, physician, psychiatrist, etc.) and the categories me and mental patient by marking a series of 19 seven-step rating scales, each composed of bipolar anchoring adjectives. Additionally, a familiarity rating for each of the role titles was obtained. An understanding and a value cluster were derived from the 19 adjectives along with an overall favorability-unfavorability score for each role title. It was expected that subjects would value mental health professional roles more strongly than they would indicate an understanding of these same roles. Secondly, it was expected that the hospital setting itself, the subject's role within that setting, and the degree of familiarity with the role being rated would have a significant impact on the subject's attitude. Results generally supported the above expectations. Overall ratings of the professional groups were consistently high, with less difference between the health designations (physician, nurse) and the psych designations than has been previously reported in the literature. 相似文献

Mothers of 182 preschool nursery school children rated their own parenting responses on a Parent's Report questionnaire. At the same time the mothers responded to the Behavior Style Questionnaire (BSQ) from which scores were determined for nine categories of temperament. On the basis of category scores the children were grouped into one of five temperament clusters i.e. easy, difficult, slow to warm up, high intermediate, low intermediate. The children's membership in BSQ clusters was independent of sex, age, birth order, and mothers employment status but there was a significantly higher ratio of easy children from higher socioeconomic classes I and II. Mothers of children grouped in either the difficult or slow to warmup clusters were more likely to use guilt inducing and temper-detachment parenting styles than mothers of children grouped in the easy cluster. 相似文献
