Coexistence of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and argyrophilic grain disease: A non‐demented autopsy case showing circumscribed temporal atrophy and involvement of the amygdala

We report a case of a 68‐year‐old right‐handed man with sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and argyrophilic grain disease (AGD) having a 22‐month duration. His initial symptoms were dysarthria and swallowing difficulty at the age of 67. Subsequently bulbar palsy and pyramidal signs developed. His cognitive functions including face recognition, personality, and behavior were not changed compared with that of before the disease onset. However, magnetic resonance imaging disclosed severe right side‐predominant temporal atrophy. The neurological diagnosis was bulbar type ALS. Pathological examination disclosed histological evidence of ALS, including loss of Betz cells and lower motor neurons, corticospinal tract degeneration, and Bunina bodies. In addition, severe neuronal loss in the bilateral temporal cortex with an anterior gradient was found. Ubiquitin‐positive inclusions were encountered in the spinal anterior horn cells and hippocampal dentate gyrus, while few ubiquitin‐positive inclusions were noted in the affected temporal cortex. The amygdala, especially the basolateral nuclear group, was severely affected by neuronal loss with tissue rarefaction. Moderate neuronal loss was encountered in the parahippocampal gyrus, and to a lesser degree, in the ambient gyrus. Unexpectedly, many argyrophilic grains, coiled bodies, tau‐positive bush‐like astrocytes, pretangles, and ballooned neurons were found in the limbic system and temporal cortex. In the hippocampus, selective tau accumulation with minor neurofibrillary changes was observed in CA2 neurons. The present case suggests that (i) ALS and AGD do rarely coexist, and (ii) when ALS patients have severe temporal atrophy, not only ALS with dementia but also concurrent AGD should be considered in the differential diagnosis.     

Transfer of 45Ca and 36Cl at the blood-nerve barrier of the sciatic nerve in rats fed low or high calcium diets

Unidirectional fluxes of 45Ca, 36Cl, and of [3H]mannitol from blood into the sciatic nerve and cerebral cortex were determined from 5- and 15-min uptakes of these tracers after an intravenous (i.v.) bolus injection in awake rats. Rats were fed diets for 8 wk, that had either a low (0.01% wt/wt), normal (0.67%), or high (3%) Ca content. Plasma [Ca] was 32% less and 11% more in rats fed low (LOCA) and high Ca diets (HICA), respectively, than in rats fed a normal Ca diet (CONT). The mean permeability-surface area product (PA) of 45Ca at the blood-nerve barrier was about eightfold higher than at the blood-brain barrier in the same animals and did not differ significantly between groups (greater than 0.05). Mean PA ratios of 45Ca/36Cl for the blood-nerve and blood-brain barriers in CONT rats, 0.52 +/- 0.04 and 0.40 +/- 0.02, respectively, were not significantly different from corresponding ratios in LOCA and HICA groups, and corresponded to the aqueous limiting diffusion ratio (0.45). Our results show no evidence for concentration-dependent transport of Ca over a plasma [Ca] range of 0.8-1.4 mmol/liter at the blood-nerve barrier of the rat peripheral nerve, and suggest that Ca and Cl exchange slowly between nerve and blood via paracellular pathways.     

Amphibian terminal nerve: distribution revealed by LHRH and AChE markers

Immunocytochemical and histochemical studies in the tiger salamander and bullfrog demonstrated the presence of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone-like immunoreactive (LHRH-ir) material and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in the terminal nerve (TN). Immunoreactive perikarya and processes were found within the olfactory, vomeronasal and trigeminal nerves and in the nasal epithelium. Central TN projections consisted of fibers terminating in the olfactory bulb and bundles that projected to another group of LHRH-ir perikarya in the preoptic region. Up to 4 weeks following hypophysectomy, the labeling intensity and number of TN-immunoreactive neurons were not altered. Acetylcholinesterase histochemistry in the salamander revealed two distinct groups of neurons associated with the TN: a lightly labeled group of fusiform perikarya was located in the olfactory nerve proper and a more heavily labeled group of larger oval perikarya was found within AChE-positive trigeminal fascicles in the ventral mucosa. This study has demonstrated that the amphibian TN follows olfactory, vomeronasal and trigeminal nerves to reach peripheral targets in the nasal mucosa. The projection of TN fibers to discrete olfactory bulb glomeruli, especially evident in the bullfrog, suggests that the TN functions in odor processing. The TN projection to the preoptic region in both of these amphibians implicates the TN in reproductive processes.     

Moorfields回归分析及多变量区别分析诊断开角型青光眼

目的研究Moorfields回归分析(MRA)及多变量区别分析(MDA)的2个指标FSM和RB诊断开角型青光眼的能力,及MRA在视盘整体和视盘分区间的差异。方法对23例正常人(26眼)、26例可疑开角型青光眼患者(32眼)和21例开角型青光眼患者(21眼)进行HRT-Ⅱ和OCTOPUS视野计G2-TOP程序两项检查。结果视盘整体MRA、FSM、RB与视野缺损指数间相关系数分别为0.537、-0.565、-0.716(P<0.01),且3个组间差异均有统计学意义(P<0.01),随着视盘面积增大,MRA、FSM和RB特异性均下降。可疑组中视盘分区MRA与视野检查一致率均高于整体,一致率最高分区为颞下(78.13%)。各分区中MRA敏感性、特异性最高的分区为颞上和颞下。结论MRA和MDA检测开角型青光眼能力较强,且与视野检查间存在较好的相关性,但应用于大视盘分析时须谨慎下结论。
