Brain Metabolite Changes in Patients with Relapsing-Remitting and Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis: A Two-Year Follow-Up Study
Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) provides the unique ability to monitor several disease-related pathological processes via their characteristic metabolic markers in vivo. In the present study metabolic compositions were assessed every six months over the period of two years in 36 patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) including 21 relapsing-remitting (RR), 15 secondary progressive (SP) pati...
متن کاملIncreased Anisotropy in Subcortical Gray Matter Structures: a Neurodegeneration Marker in Multiple Sclerosis
Introduction Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is not only a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by demyelination and gliosis, but the disease also implies neurodegenerative processes. MS exhibits clinically three different forms classified as relapsing-remitting (RR) phases of inflammation followed by a secondary progressive (SP) period, or directly as a primary progressive (PP) evolution which m...
متن کاملEvidence of elevated glutamate in multiple sclerosis using magnetic resonance spectroscopy at 3 T.
Histopathological reports of multiple sclerosis and its animal models have shown evidence of a link between axonal injury in active lesions and impaired glutamate metabolism. Mature oligodendrocytes play a role in glutamate uptake to maintain glutamate homeostasis but in multiple sclerosis white matter the loss of expression of glutamate transporters in the lesion vicinity results in ineffectiv...
متن کاملارزش پیشگوییکنندۀ CSF IgG در اسکلروز متعدد: مطالعه در 54 بیمار
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system with multifocal areas of demyelination. Despite an increased understanding of the mechanisms causing MS, immunological factors that indicate disease activity are only starting to be discovered. Chronic brain inflammation is often associated with an increase in production of IgG in the CSF as determined ...
متن کاملP 16: The Effect of Reducing CCL11 on Multiple Sclerosis Treatment by Using Heterochronic Parabiosis Techniques
Introduction: Multiple sclerosis is a chronic neuroinflammatory disease that leads to distribute neurodegeneration in the grey and white matter of the brain. In MS, age-related iron accumulation, chronic oxidative injury and activation of microglia are key factors to create neurodegeneration. Also concentration of CCL11 is increased in multiple sclerosis. CCL11 can amplify glu...
