    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Biopsie-Material des N. suralis einer Patientin mit typischem Landry-Guillain-Barré-Syndrom wurde elektronenmikroskopisch untersucht. Es fanden sich degenerative Veränderungen, die sowohl die Myelinscheiden als auch Schwannsche Zellen und unmyelinisierten Nervenfasern betraffen. Vor allem die Veränderungen an unmyelinisierten Nervenfasern scheinen mit der Funktionsstörung autonomer Nerven in Beziehung zu stehen.
    Notes: Summary N. suralis taken from a patient showing the typical Landry-Guillain-Barré Syndrome was examined electron microscopically and showed degenerative changes of the myelin sheaths, Schwann cells, axons and unmyelinated nerve fibres. The changes in the unmyelinated nerve fibres might be concerned with disturbances of autonomic function.

    Notes: Summary Biopsies of a frontal gyrus from both schizophrenic and non-schizophrenic brains were examined by electron microscopy. The results in the schizophrenic brains are as follows: 1. Within the cytoplasm of the nerve cell, the Golgi apparatus was remarkably prominent. 2. Membranous structures, consisting of numerous interconnected tubules were observed in the nerve fibres. Abnormal structures appeared in the synapses and in many synapses vesicles were not observed. 3. Granular and vesicular material accumulated in large amount in the axon-oligodendroglial interface of myelinated nerve fibres: the material was gradually transferred from the axon-oligodendroglial interface to the inner mesoaxon and the outer layers of the myelin sheaths destroying some of the myelin sheaths. Mainly myelinated nerve fibres of medium size were involved. 4. A large amount of lipofuscin-like material was observed in the cytoplasm and the processes of the oligodendroglia. 5. Only the neuron and the oligodendroglia showed specific changes. Among the findings mentioned above, (3) was thought to be specific and originated from the disturbance of the metabolism of the neuron, due probably to some enzyme disturbance in the neuron.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung In den Fällen von organischer Quecksilbervergiftung, bei denen Symptome festgestellt wurden, ließen sich deutliche Veränderungen an den Körnerzellen des Kleinhirns beobachten. Das Frühstadium der Erkrankung war gekennzeichnet durch einen selektiven Befall der Körnerzellen, der als wahrscheinliche Folge der Störung der Proteinsynthese zu deuten ist. Die Mitochondrien boten verhältnismäßig leichte Veränderungen, sogar im späten Stadium nach Verschwinden intracytoplasmatischer Organellen in den Körnerzellen. Beim Erkrankungsprozeß der Körnerzellen waren 2 Typen unterscheidbar: Typ I mit Ausströmen intranucleolären Materials und Typ II mit Gerinnung des Zellkerns. Am 150. Tag nach Ende der Verabreichung erstreckten sich pathologische Veränderungen nicht nur auf das Kleinhirn, sondern auch auf Großhirn und Hirnstamm: ferner wurden 2 Typen von Veränderungen an den Körnerzellen beobachtet. Die Veränderungen im Bereich der Blut-Hirnschranke, in vasculären Satelliten, Gliazellen und Synapsen waren geringer als jene Körner-Zellen. Zwischen der Gefäßverteilung bzw. vasculären Veränderungen und Veränderungen in den granulären Zellen wurde keine spezifischen Korrelationen festgestellt.
    Notes: Summary In rats with signs of onset of organic mercury poisoning, marked changes were noted in the granule cells of the cerebellum. In the initial stage of the disease, selective damage to granule cells was characteristic probably due to disturbance in protein synthesis. Mitochondria showed only relatively mild changes even at a considerably later stage, after disappearance of intracytoplasmic organelles from the granule cells. Two changes were distinguished in the granule cells. One was the streaming out of the intranuclear substance while the other was coagulation of the nucleus. On the 150th day after cessation of administration of organic mercury, pathological change involved not only the cerebellum but also the cerebrum and the brain stem. Another two changes were observed in the granule cells. Changes in the blood brain barrier, vascular satellite cells, glia and synapse were mild as compared with those in the granular cells. No specific correlation was noted between vascular distribution or vascular changes and changes in the granular cells.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Amphetaminchlorid in Mengen von 1 mg pro kg pro Tag wurde 8 männlichen Meerschweinchen ungefähr 1 Jahr lang täglich injiziert, um eine chronische Amphetaminvergiftung zu erzeugen. Bei jedem vergifteten Tier wurde die Feinstruktur des Gehirns elektronenmikroskopisch untersucht. Die Befunde waren folgende: 1. Verschmelzung der Membranen zwischen Axonen in den Nervenendigungen sowie zwischen Axonen und Dendriten wurden in der Großhirnrinde, im limbischen System, im Thalamus und Hypothalmus beobachtet; ferner wurde eine sich vom Cytoplasma bis zur Nervenendigung erstreckende Membranstruktur in diesen Hirnbereichen festgestellt. 2. Im Frontal-, Parietal-, Temporal- und Occipitalhirn sowie im limbischen System fanden sich vermehrt membranbegrenzte Vesikel im Cytoplasma der Nervenzellen und verdicktes und vermehrtes ER in den Nervenfasern. In Anbetracht klinischer Symptome der Patienten mit Amphetaminvergiftung wurde angenommen, daß die Verschmelzung von Membranen zwischen Nervenfortsätzen und das Auftreten der Membranstrukturen in allen Teilen des Nervenzellcytoplasmas vom Perikaryon bis zur Nervenendigung die wichtigsten Befunde sind, die darauf hindeuten, daß die Vergiftungsvorgänge einen wesentlichen Einfluß auf das Leitungssystem der Nerven ausüben können.
    Notes: Summary In 8 male albino strain guinea pigs, 1 mg/kg of methamphetamine HCl was injected daily for 7 months to 1 year to produce chronic methamphetamine intoxication and to study the fine structure of the brain electron microscopically. The following results were obtained: 1. Coalescence of membranes, between axons at the nerve endings and between axons and dendrites, was found in the cortex of the cerebrum and limbic system, in the thalamus and hypothalamus. Membranous structures were found in all portions of the cytoplasm of the nerve cells. 2. Within the cytoplasm of the nerve cell, coated vesicles were increased in number with hypertrophy and increase of endoplasmic reticulum within nerve fibres in the frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital regions, and in the limbic system. In view of these findings, as well as the clinical neurological symptoms in patients with methamphetamine poisoning, the coalescence of membranes between nerve processes and the appearance of membranous structures in all portions of nerve cell cytoplasm from body to nerve endings appear to represent the most important findings, they probably produce a profound disturbance in the system of nerve conduction and transmission.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Von einem Patienten mit peripherer Nervenlähmung, die einer schweren Diarrhoe folgte, wurden Biopsien vom N. suralis und vom M. quadriceps femoris elektronenmikroskopisch untersucht. Die Markscheiden der peripheren Nervenfasern waren geschwollen und in Degeneration begriffen. Die Axone der markhaltigen Nervenfasern zeigten beginnende Degeneration; auch an den Schwannschen Zellen wurde Degeneration beobachtet. Bemerkenswerte Befunde am Muskel waren Unregelmäßigkeiten des Z-Bandes und Verschwinden der dicken Fasern. In allen Teilen der Muskel waren die Glykogengranula beträchtlich vermehrt. Diese Befunde zeigen, daß im vorliegenden Fall nicht nur die peripheren Nerven, sondern auch die Muskeln geschädigt worden waren. Die Muskelveränderungen stellen einen neuen Befund bei subakuter myelo-optischer Neuropathie dar.
    Notes: Summary N. suralis and M. quadriceps femoralis, taken from a patient with peripheral nerve paralysis following severe diarrhoea, were examined by electron microscopy. In the nerve fibres myelin sheaths were swollen and degenerated: axons in myelinated fibres also were degenerated. Degeneration was also observed in Schwann cells. In muscle the noteworthy findings were focal irregularity of Z-bands and disappearance of thick filaments. In all parts of the muscle, glycogen granules were remarkably increased in number. These findings reveal that in the present case there was damage not only to peripheral nerve but also to muscle. The changes in the muscle are a new observation in subacute myelooptico-neuropathy.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Ratten wurde oral durch 20 Tage täglich 1 mg organische Quecksilberverbindung verabreicht. Am 7. und 250. Tag nach Ende der Verabreichung wurden die peripheren Nerven untersucht. Am 7. Tag fanden sich Mitosen von Schwannschen Zellen und am 250. Tag deutliche Abnahme der myelinhaltigen Nervenfasern, begleitet von Regeneration der Nervenfasern und Zunahme von Kollagen im intercellulären Raum. Anderseits waren die Ganglienzellen der Hinterwurzeln intakt. Diese Befunde lassen vermuten, daß die Regeneration geschädigter peripherer Nerven nach experimentellen Vergiftung mit organischem Quecksilber durch bis in periphere Abschnitte wachsende Axonsprossen und neugebildete Schwann-Zellen vor sich geht. Die Regenerationstendenz der peripheren Nerven war jedoch im ganzen nicht sehr ausgeprägt.
    Notes: Summary Rats were given 1 mg of organic mercury compound per rat daily by mouth for 20 days. Peripheral nerves were examined on the 7th day and 250 th day after withdrawal of administration. On the 7th day, mitosis of Schwann cells was observed and on the 250 th day, myelinated fibres were noticeably decreased in numbers, with regeneration of nerve fibres and an increase of collagen in the intercellular spaces. Posterior nerve root ganglion cells were however intact. From this it is speculated that regeneration of injured peripheral nerve fibres, experimentally poisoned with organic mercury, is the result of regeneration of axons growing out to the periphery, and by regeneration of Schwann cells. Regeneration of the peripheral nerves was not however a very marked feature.

    Notes: Summary By electron microscopy cerebral cortex taken post portem from a case of senile dementia was examined especially with regard to “Drüsige Entartung der Hirnarterien” (Scholz, 1938). The basement mebrane of capillaries was irregularly enlarged, and had produced numerous amyloid fibrils and collagen. In the cytoplasm of the endothelial cells amyloid fibrils were also observed. Amyloid fibrils of the core of senile plaques would seem to be produced by the basement membrane of the blood vessels.

    Notes: Summary A 38-year-old female died 6 years after the onset of what was, clinically and histopathologically, consistent with Neuro-Behçet's disease. Pathologically the cerebrum showed severe atrophy. The main changes were observed in the grey and white matter, the diencephalon and the basal ganglia by light microscopy. All these changes originated in softenings around blood vessels, especially small vessels or capillaries. These foci fused together to form large regions of softening. Glial or mesenchymal reactions were minimal. In the white matter there was slight perivascular-infiltration, mainly consisting of lymphocytes. In view of these findings, it is suggested that these changes were caused by an allergic vasculitis. The present case of Neuro-Behçet's disease is the first one showing general atrophy of the cerebrum. It is very important in relation to demyelinating encephalitis.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Organische Quecksilberverbindungen schädigen im Nervensystem zunächst die peripheren Nerven. Dabei werden die sensiblen Fasern bevorzugt betroffen: es kommt zur Proliferation und Degeneration der Schwannschen Zellen sowie zu starken Veränderungen an Markscheiden und Axonen. Vermehrte Schwannsche Zellen und Makrophagen bewirken die Beseitigung und Verdauung degenerierter Markscheiden und Axone. Die Veränderungen an markhaltigen Nervenfasern beginnen hauptsächlich am Ranvierschen Schnürring. Organisches Quecksilber schädigt in einer bestimmten Dosierung ausschließlich die peripheren Nerven. Diese Befunde lassen vermuten, daß bei Patienten mit organischen Quecksilbervergiftungen mitunter nur Symptome von Schäden an sensiblen Nerven auftreten können.
    Notes: Summary Organic mercury firstly affects peripheral nerves all over the nervous system. In peripheral nerves, pathological changes are selectively observed in sensory nerve fibres and are as follows: Swelling and degeneration of Schwann cells, noticeable changes in both myelin sheaths and axons. Proliferating cells such as Schwann cells and macrophages may be acting the role of removal and digestion of degenerated myelin and axon. The pathological changes in myelinated fibres tend to begin at the nodes of Ranvier. With the quantity of organic mercury which was administered, only peripheral nerves were injured. From this point of view, we speculate that, of the neurological signs, only sensory disturbance might be found in some of the patients poisoned by organic mercury.
