Partial but rapid recovery from paralysis after immunomodulation during early stage of neuralgic amyotrophy.
[Medical Research Council (MRC) 2–3] was detected in the triceps brachii, f lexor carpi ulnaris and median nerve-innervated hand muscles. The flexor carpi radialis and ulnaris, extensor carpi ulnaris and finger flexors were mildly impaired. The shoulder girdle muscles, the biceps brachii, brachioradialis and extensor carpi radialis were spared. The muscle stretch reflexes were normal, except fo...
متن کاملMeasles encephalitis during immunosuppressive
Between 1971 and 1989 measles encephalitis was identified in five children receiving chemotherapy for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Review of these and previously reported cases of measles encephalitis in immunosuppressed patients failed to identify any pathognomonic features in the history, the clinical presentation, or the results of electroencephalography or computed tomography. Detection o...
متن کاملMeasles-induced encephalitis.
Encephalitis is the most frequent neurological complication of measles virus infection. This review examines the pathophysiology of measles infection and the presentations, diagnosis and treatment of the four types of measles-induced encephalitis including primary measles encephalitis, acute post-measles encephalitis, measles inclusion body encephalitis and subacute sclerosing panencephalitis. ...
متن کاملMeasles virus nucleocapsid protein protects rats from encephalitis.
Lewis rats immunized with recombinant vaccinia virus expressing the nucleocapsid (N) protein of measles virus were protected from encephalitis when subsequently challenged by intracerebral infection with neurotropic measles virus. Immunized rats revealed polyvalent antibodies to the N protein of measles virus in the absence of any neutralizing antibodies as well as an N protein-specific prolife...
متن کاملAdult neural stem cells expressing IL-10 confer potent immunomodulation and remyelination in experimental autoimmune encephalitis.
Adult neural stem cells (aNSCs) derived from the subventricular zone of the brain show therapeutic effects in EAE, an animal model of the chronic inflammatory neurodegenerative disease MS; however, the beneficial effects are modest. One critical weakness of aNSC therapy may be an insufficient antiinflammatory effect. Here, we demonstrate that i.v. or i.c.v. injection of aNSCs engineered to secr...
