BACKGROUND CONTEXT: There is no report in the literature of two-level disc herniation in the cervical and thoracic spine presenting with spastic paresis/paralysis exclusively in the bilateral lower extremities. PURPOSE: To identify the clinical characteristics of specific myelopathy resulting from C6-C7 disc herniation through a case with spastic paresis in the lower extremities without upper extremities symptoms due to separate disc herniation in the cervical and thoracic spine, which was surgically removed in two stages. STUDY DESIGN/SETTING: A case report. METHODS: A 48-year-old man developed a gait disturbance as well as weakness and numbness in the lower extremities. Thoracic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a T11-T12 disc herniation, which was removed under the surgical microscope through a minimally invasive posterior approach. He improved, but 2 months after surgery developed recurrent numbness and spasticity. On this occasion, no evidence of recurrence of the thoracic disc herniation could be identified, but cervical MRI demonstrated a compressed spinal cord at the C6-C7 level. The patient had no neurological findings in the upper extremities. The herniated disc at C6-C7 was removed under the surgical microscope with laminoplasty. RESULTS: The symptoms gradually improved after surgery. At the present time, 2 years and 9 months after the initial operation, the patient had a stable gait and was able to work. CONCLUSIONS: Our experience suggests that in the diagnosis of patients with spastic paresis and sensory disturbances in the lower extremities, spinal cord compression should be explored by imaging studies not only in the thoracic spine but also in the cervical spine, especially at the C6-C7 level, even if the symptoms and abnormal neurological findings are absent in the upper extremities. 相似文献

Members of the stathmin-like protein family depolymerize microtubules (MTs), probably due to the ability of each stathmin monomer to bind two tubulin heterodimers in a complex (T(2)S complex). SCG10, a member of this family, is localized in the growth cone of neurons. It has four identified sites of serine phosphorylation (S50, S63, S73, and S97). Of these, S50 and S97 are phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase, an enzyme involved in growth cone guidance. When the equivalent sites in stathmins are phosphorylated, they lose their ability to depolymerize MTs. We investigated the specific role of the two cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) phosphorylation sites in SCG10. A mutant of SCG10 phosphorylated only on S50 retained the ability to depolymerize MTs, but SCG10 phosphorylated on S97 or on both S50 and S97 lost MT-depolymerizing activity. Surface plasmon resonance studies revealed that the phosphorylation of SCG10 at these sites reduced the tubulin heterodimer binding, mainly due to a reduced rate of association. In particular, compared to the two other phosphorylated forms, SCG10 phosphorylated at S50 had a significantly smaller dissociation constant for the binding of the first tubulin heterodimer and larger association and dissociation rate constants for the binding of the second heterodimer. This indicates that the phosphorylation of S50 compensates for the effect of phosphorylation at other sites by modulating T2S complex formation. Furthermore, these results suggest that S50-P maintains MT-depolymerizing activity, which indicates that the biological functions of phosphorylation at S50 and S97 are different. 相似文献

We describe the first patient with hereditary spherocytosis (HS) known to have developed splenic infarction following infectious mononucleosis (IM). An 18-year-old Japanese man was referred to our hospital in November 2004 because of continuous fever and icterus. He had undergone cholecystectomy at the age of 14 years. On patient admission in November 2004, a physical examination showed marked hepatosplenomegaly, icterus, and jaundice. He had a white blood cell count of 14.9 x 10(9)/L with 9.5% atypical lymphocytes, a red blood cell count of 2.93 x 10(12)/L, and a hemoglobin concentration of 7.8 g/dL. Microspherocytes were observed in the patient's peripheral blood smear, and immunoglobulin M antibody to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) viral capsid antigen was detected. The patient's diagnosis was HS with IM. On day 4 of admission, the patient complained of severe abdominal pain. Abdominal computed tomography scanning revealed findings of splenic infarction. Two months after the occurrence of splenic infarction, a splenectomy was performed. A pathohistologic examination of the resected spleen revealed no evidence of thrombosis or arterial occlusion. We assume that the cause of splenic infarction was insufficient blood flow to oxygenate the entire spleen during the acute enlargement of the spleen. 相似文献

Overexpression of CD30 and JunB is a hallmark of tumor cells in Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) and anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL). We reported that CD30-extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling induces JunB, which maintains constitutive activation of the CD30 promoter. Herein, we localize a cis-acting enhancer in the JunB promoter that is regulated by Ets-1. We show that E26 transformation-specific-1 (Ets-1) (-146 to -137) enhances JunB promoter activation in a manner that is dependent on CD30 or the nucleophosmin-anaplastic lymphoma kinase (NPM-ALK)-ERK1/2 MAPK pathway. Ets-1 knockdown reduces the expression of both JunB and CD30, and CD30 knockdown significantly reduces JunB expression in HL and ALCL cell lines. NPM-ALK knockdown also reduces JunB expression in ALCL cell lines expressing NPM-ALK. Collectively, these results indicate that CD30 and NPM-ALK cooperate to activate the ERK1/2 MAPK-Ets-1 pathway. Ets-1, constitutively activated by ERK1/2-MAPK, plays a central role in the overexpression of JunB and CD30, which are both involved in the pathogenesis of HL and ALCL. 相似文献

Identification of proteins in the mammalian growth cone has the potential to advance our understanding of this critical regulator of neuronal growth and formation of neural circuit; however, to date, only one growth cone marker protein, GAP-43, has been reported. Here, we successfully used a proteomic approach to identify 945 proteins present in developing rat forebrain growth cones, including highly abundant, membrane-associated and actin-associated proteins. Almost 100 of the proteins appear to be highly enriched in the growth cone, as determined by quantitative immunostaining, and for 17 proteins, the results of RNAi suggest a role in axon growth. Most of the proteins we identified have not previously been implicated in axon growth and thus their identification presents a significant step forward, providing marker proteins and candidate neuronal growth-associated proteins. 相似文献

Neutropenic enteritis is a septic or inflammatory disease of the colon. It is usually encountered in patients with hematological malignancy who have undergone chemotherapy, and it presents as fever, diarrhea, and abdominal pain, although the symptoms are not always specific. The diagnostic features of neutropenic enteritis revealed by barium enema, CT and ultrasonography have been reported previously. Here we report 4 cases of neutropenic enteritis in which ultrasound was used for diagnosis, and also for monitoring the clinical course of the disease. Because neutropenic enteritis is rapidly progressive, early diagnosis and therapeutic intervention are required. We believe that ultrasonography is a useful method for examining patients with neutropenic enteritis, being noninvasive, mobile, and providing rapid results in real time, thus aiding early diagnosis and clinical follow-up. 相似文献
