Do patients with demyelinating disease have antibodies against human glial cells in their sera?
Cell-type-specific markers and indirect immunofluorescence were used to study immunoglobulin binding to glial cells in dissociated cell cultures of human foetal optic nerve, spinal cord and dorsal root ganglion in sera from patients with demyelinating diseases, other neurological diseases and normal controls. These various sera proved to be indistinguishable in that almost all of them contained...
متن کاملIn vivo analysis of glial cell phenotypes during a viral demyelinating disease in mice
C57 BL/6N mice injected intracranially with the A59 strain of mouse hepatitis virus exhibit extensive viral replication in glial cells of the spinal cord and develop demyelinating lesions followed by virus clearing and remyelination. To study how different glial cell types are affected by the disease process, we combine three-color immunofluorescence labeling with tritiated thymidine autoradiog...
متن کاملDestructive lesions in demyelinating disease.
Three cases are presented in which clinical and radiological features suggested the diagnosis of glioma but surgical biopsy revealed a demyelinating process, with tissue destruction and cyst formation in two. One patient had clinically definite multiple sclerosis. Two had probable acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. Treatment with high dose steroids is appropriate when there is clinical or in...
متن کاملGrafting techniques for Peyronie’s disease
Peyronie's disease (PD) is a benign fibrotic condition of the penile tunica albuginea. PD can be associated with penile pain, curvature, shortening, and erectile dysfunction (ED). The predominant and most bothersome symptom in affected patients is penile curvature, which can lead to inability to have sexual intercourse. In such cases, surgical correction of the curvature may be required. Plicat...
متن کاملTeaching NeuroImages: brucellosis mimicking demyelinating disease.
A 57-year-old man presented with a 4-week history of fever, visual loss, and progressive ataxic gait. He worked as a truck driver and had been in contact with raw sheepskin a few months prior. Neurologic examination showed drowsiness, pseudobulbar syndrome, hyperreflexia, ataxia, and optic disc edema. He had a lymphocytic pleocytosis and diffuse hyperintense white matter lesions on brain MRI (f...
