    Notes: Abstract In addition to the well-known teratogenic effect of thalidomide, previous studies have revealed mild immunosuppressive properties and, more recently, an anti-angiogenic activity. To find out more about the specificity of these effects we studied the influence of orally administered thalidomide on Wallerian degeneration in rats. Wallerian degeneration is a potent experimental model for studying reproducible cell proliferation in vivo. Examination of distal nerve segments of transected sciatic nerves from rats that had been treated with thalidomide (2 × 250 mg/kg per day) revealed a significant reduction of endoneurial cell counts at 10–15 days after surgery compared to that seen in controls. This effect was not statistically significant, at a very early stage of Wallerian degeneration, i.e., at 5 days after transection of the nerve. Subperineurial edema and phagocytosis was also reduced, although this was not statistically significant. This apparently nonspecific inhibitory effect of thalidomide during early Wallerian degeneration shown in the present study should be investigated further for its possible relationship to other previously established inhibitory activities of thalidomide, especially its immunosuppressive effect in man.

    Identification of the characteristic vascular changes in a sural nerve biopsy of a case with cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) (1995)

    Notes: Abstract Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy' (CADASIL) has recently been identified as a hereditary disorder with characteristic fine structural changes of small intracerebral arteries and arterioles. Electron microscopically there are characteristic perivascular deposits of granular electron-dense material resembling immunoglobulin deposits. The present case from a family with four affected members in three successive generations shows that similar vascular changes as described in the central nervous system are present in blood vessels of the sural nerve, although less pronounced and, therefore, affording electron microscopy for their unequivocal detection. Nevertheless it has been shown for the first time that the diagnosis of CADASIL can be verified by a sural nerve biopsy. Occasional focal accumulation of pinocytotic vesicles opposite the granular deposits suggests exocytosis as one of the possible pathomechanisms for their production.
