    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Beobachtungen an Nervenbiopsien bei 10 aufeinanderfolgenden Patienten mit diabetischer Neuropathie wurden unternommen. 1 Patient wies die für eine hypertrophische Neuropathie typischen licht-und elektronenmikroskopischen Veränderungen auf. 5 zeigten typische hypertrophische Veränderungen, die aber nur bei elektronenmikroskopischer Untersuchung sichtbar waren; bei weiteren wurden ähnliche geringe Veränderungen entdeckt. Es wird angenommen, daß diese Veränderungen durch segmentale Demyelinisation verursacht wurden.
    Notes: Summary Observations have been made on 10 consecutive nerve biopsies from patients with diabetic neuropathy. 1 patient showed the typical appearances of hypertrophic neuropathy on light and electron microscopy. 5 displayed typical hypertrophic changes visible only on electron microscopy and minor abnormalities of a similar nature were seen in 2 others. It was considered that they were likely to have resulted from recurrent segmental demyelination.

    Notes: Summary The ultrastructural findings in nerve biopsies from two cases of late onset metachromatic leukodystrophy were compared with those in cases of late infantile and juvenile onset. Hypertrophic changes and regenerating clusters were more evident in the late onset cases, in which macrophages were less frequent, presumably reflecting the chronicity of the disorder in this form. Inclusions within Schwann cells and endoneurial macrophages were similar in all four cases. Myelin figures, in which the periodicity of major dense lines was 8 nm, were present in Schwann cells associated with myelinated axons. The electron lucent zones between the major dense lines were bisected by lines of lesser electron density. These inclusions were probably related to myelin breakdown. All other inclusions displayed a periodicity of 5.8 nm and consisted of zebra bodies, vacuoles containing irregularly orientated lamellar material and stacks of flattened discs. These inclusions represented the metachromatic sulphatide deposits. Occasional inclusion bodies were observed within axons.

    Notes: Summary The intrafascicular contents have been extracted from the tibial nerve of the rabbit through perineurial incisions. Within 6–8 days following this procedure, the perineurial cells separate from one another, become dissociated from their basement membranes and assume a fibroblast-like appearance. The intrafascicular space becomes populated with endoneurial fibroblasts. With the ingrowth of regenerating axons, bundles of axons and associated Schwann cells become surrounded by cells of fibroblastic appearance which undergo perineurial transformation resulting in the development of multiple small fascicles. The cells of the surrounding perineurium appear to reassume a lamellar organization and to reestablish contacts with each other with the formation of junctional complexes. It is therefore suggested that neural structures may be responsible for the development and maintenance of the structural organization of the perineurium.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Es wird über ultrastrukturelle Veränderungen in den Ranvierschen Knoten des N.suralis der Ratte im Laufe der Wallerschen Degeneration berichtet. Die Untersuchungen erfolgten 12 und 120 Std nach einer örtlichen Quetschungsverletzung. Die ersten bemerkbaren Veränderungen finden sich im Axon. Nodale und paranodale Anhäufungen von Mitochondrien, multivesikulären und lamellären Körpern, wie auch kleinen blasen- und röhrenartigen Bildungen sind teilweise in den Knoten sichtbar und am deutlichsten nach 24–36 Std erkennbar. Gleichzeitig erfolgt eine Aufsplitterung der Neurofilamente und Neurotubuli, die ihre Liniengestaltung verlieren und sich zusammenballen. Die Zone der erhöhten Dichte gerade unterhalb des nodalen Axolemmas bleibt erhalten. Veränderungen im Myelin beginnen etwas später und bestehen in einem vesikulären Verfall der Endomyelinlamellen und einer Trennung der Endomyelinschlaufen vom Axolemma durch Schwannzellenfortsätze. Dieser Vorgang schien mit einem Zurückziehen des Myelins vom Knoten im Zusammenhang zu stehen. Schwannzellenfortsätze erstrecken sich auch so weit, daß sie das nodale Axon bedecken, wobei sie die nodalen Schwannzellenfortsätze vom Axolemma trennen. Das Endstadium ist die Unterbrechung des nodalen Axons und die Verschmelzung der Myelinenden als Teil der Ovoidbildung.
    Notes: Summary Observations are reported on the ultrastructural alterations at the nodes of Ranvier in the rat sural nerve during the course of Wallerian degeneration. These were examined between 12 and 120 hours after a localized crush injury. The earliest detectable changes are in the axon. Nodal and paranodal accumulations of mitochondria, multivesicular bodies, lamellar bodies and small vesicular and tubular profiles are seen at a proportion of the nodes and are most evident at 24–36 hours. Concomitantly with this, the neurofilaments and neurotubulus fragment, lose their alignment and clump together. The zone of increased density just beneath the nodal axolemma is preserved. Changes in the myelin begin slightly later and consist of vesicular breakdown of the terminal myelin lamellae, and separation of the terminal myelin loops from the axolemma by Schwann cell processes. The latter event appeared to be associated with retraction of the myelin from the node. Schwann cell processes also extend to cover the nodal axon, separating the Schwann cell nodal processes from the axolemma. The final stage is the interruption of the nodal axon and the fusion of the ends of the myelin as part of ovoid formation.
