    Notes: Abstract The localization of apolipoprotein E (ApoE) has been examined immunohistochemically in the autopsied brains of middle-aged and old-aged control subjects, with and without amyloid β protein (Aβ) deposits, and of Alzheimer's disease patients. Senile plaques were consistently labeled with ApoE antiserum even in the very early stage of senile plaque formation seen in the fifth decade. In the cerebellar molecular layer, small dots of ApoE immunoreactivity, which were prominent in the Alzheimer's disease subjects, were observed in addition to immunoreactivity in diffuse plaques. ApoE antisera labeled all of the extracellular neurofibrillary tangles (NFT), whereas only a small minority of extracellular NFT were positive for Aβ. A punctate pattern of ApoE immunoreactivity was seen at the media of the meningeal vessels lacking amyloid, when senile plaques were present in the nearby cortex. In the early stage of amyloid angiopathy, the distribution of ApoE immunoreactivity was much more extensive than that of Aβ positivity. These findings suggest that ApoE accumulates in the early stage of senile plaque formation and, furthermore, that ApoE accumulation precedes Aβ deposition in extracellular NFT and amyloid angiopathy.

    Notes: Abstract Since we reported a case of acute relaxant-steroid myopathy (ARSM) in 1994, we continued histological studies and compared the findings with those in a case of corticosteroid myopathy (CM). It was revealed that (1) dystrophin, spectrin, beta dystroglycan, and sarcoglycans on the cell surface were decreased, (2) regular arrangement of the sarcoplasmic reticulum was lost, and (3) some capillaries were degenerated. Since none of these changes were seen in CM, it became clear that ARSM is different from CM. It was estimated that continuous administration of non-depolarizing muscle relaxant produces a state akin to denervation. Combination of denervation, immobilization and circulatory disturbance in ARSM not only augments the effects of corticosteroids, but they produce changes different from CM, namely impairment of the cell membrane system (both internal and external) and capillary degeneration.

    Notes: Abstract To investigate the origin of grumose (foamy) spheroid bodies (GFSB), the expression of two proteins associated with axonal regeneration, i.e., phosphotyrosine and 25-kDa synaptosomal-associated protein (SNAP-25), was immunohistochemically assessed in GFSB in the substantia nigra pars reticulate (SNPR) of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). Phosphotyrosine immunoreactive (-IR) and SNAP-25-IR were found in many GFSB. Both were expressed intensely on eosinophilic debris and grumose aggregates in GFSB. Our result suggests that GFSB are structures associated with aberrant sprouting of axons in the degenerated SNPR from other regions such as the globus pallidus to the SNPR, and that the aberrant sprouting may be associated with cell signaling involving tyrosine kinase systems.

    Notes: Summary The ultrastructural localization of amyloid β/A4 protein precursor (APP) in the brains of control and Alzheimer's disease patients was examined immunohistochemically using antisera against the N and C termini of APP. In both control and Alzheimer brains, immunoreaction for APP was seen in the cytoplasm of most neurons, on plasma membranes, outer membrane of mitochondria, granular substance and neurofilaments. Cell bodies and foot processes of astrocytes, containing glial filaments, were also labeled. In primitive and classic type senile plaques, APP immunoreaction products were localized in the astroglial processes that surrounded the amyloid mass of the senile plaques. Swollen degenerating neurites in the senile plaques were also labeled. Amyloid fibrils were negative with APP antisera.

    Notes: Summary We examined the oculomotor and/or trochlear nuclei of 27 amytrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients and 10 controls by histological and immunohistological methods. Their neurons were relatively well preserved. In 7 of 22 sporadic ALS patients (including 3/3 ALS with ophthalmoplegia) and in 4 of 5 ALS patients with dementia, some morphological changes similar to those in anterior horns (Bunina bodies, ubiquitin-positive skein-like inclusions, Lewy body-like inclusions, conglomerate inclusions and spheroids) were rarely, but clearly seen. These changes were not observed in controls. Our results suggest that the oculomotor and trochlear nuclei in ALS patients are slightly affected in a manner similar to that in the anterior horns, but the degree is less than that necessary for development of ophthalmoplegia in the majority of ALS patients.

    Notes: Abstract The expression of protein kinase C (PKC), a calcium- and phospholipid-dependent signaling molecule, was studied immunohistochemically in the spinal motor neurons of cases of sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (SALS). In the normal spinal cord, intense PKC immunoreactivity was found in subsets of large motor neurons. PKC immunoreactivity was markedly decreased in the spinal motor neurons of SALS. The result suggests that down-regulation of PKC is associated with the degeneration of spinal motor neurons in SALS.

    Notes: Abstract Fourteen patients with spinocerebellar degeneration (SCD) were subjected to MRI and PET studies. The quantitative MRI data revealed significant cerebellar and pontine atrophy in the patients with olivopontocerebellar atrophy (OPCA), and cerebellar atrophy in the patients with late cerebellar cortical atrophy (LCCA). We failed to demonstrate significant differences in the pons between LCCA patients and normal controls. PET measurements revealed decreases in cerebral oxygen metabolic rate (CMRO2) in the cerebellar hemisphere and vermis in both groups of patients. The markedly decreased cerebral blood flow (CBF) and CMRO2 in the pons were found only in the patients with OPCA. PET data corrected for the tissue shrinkage on the basis of MRI morphometry indicated a net reduction in cerebellar CMRO2 and CBE The present study has demonstrated that a combination of functional and anatomical data offers further evidence in favour of the current acceptable classification of SCD based on clinicopathological grounds. Our data further suggest that the amount of atrophy in the cerebellum could not fully account for the decreased metabolic rates observed in PET studies.

    Notes: Summary Ubiquitin-positive intraneuronal inclusions were found in the extramotor cortices of ten presenile dementia patients with motor neuron disease. There were inclusions in the hippocampal granular cells and in the small neurons of the superficial layers of the temporal and frontal cortices. Bunina bodies were present in the anterior horn cells in all cases. These results suggest that ubiquitin-related cytoskeletal abnormalities are common in cerebral non-motor small neurons in these patients.
