    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Es wird eine Technik zur Isolierung peripherer Nervenfasern durch Auffasern und nachfolgende licht-undd elektronenmikroskopische Untersuchung beschrieben. Diese Technik wurde zum Studium ungewöhnlich geschwollener Fasern angewandt, die proximal der Läsion bei durchschnittenen Nerven von Ratten beobachtet wurden. Diese Fasern wurden als das Ergebnis der Demyelinisation bereits remyelinisierter Segmente dargestellt.
    Notes: Summary A technique is described for isolating peripheral nerve fibres by teasing and subsequently examining them by light and electron microscopy. The technique was applied to the study of unusual swollen fibres observed central to the lesion in transected nerves in rats. These were shown to be the result of the demyelination of already remyelinated segments of the fibre.

    Notes: Summary Acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy or the Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) has come to be accepted as a clinical entity, although the boundary between it and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy has given rise to discussion. Recent observations have suggested that the GBS may represent the consequence of more than one pathogenetic mechanism. In most cases the salient pathological change is demyelination. In some this may be mediated predominantly by lymphocytes; in others, where the demyelination is produced primarily by macrophages, the process may be antibody-mediated. Both electrophysiological and pathological evidence indicates that occasional patients with the GBS show extensive axonal degeneration. Although this could represent a “bystander effect” secondary to inflammatory infiltration, at times it may reflect a direct attack on axons. Elucidation of the nature of the pathogenetic mechanisms is essential before rational therapy can be devised.
