运动神经元病患者的记忆功能研究

目的观察运动神经元病(motor neuron disease,MND)患者是否存在记忆功能障碍;并研究患者的病程对其记忆功能的影响。方法对比分析了32例MND患者与60例正常对照的临床记忆量表评分,并比较不同病程的MND患者的记忆功能评分。结果MND患者记忆商、临床记忆量表总等值量表分、指向记忆等值量表分、无意义图形再认等值量表分评分均明显低于对照组(P<0.05),且不同病程的MND患者临床记忆量表各项评分比较无显著性差异(P>0.05)。结论MND患者大多存在记忆障碍,提示MND存在运动区域以外的脑组织受累。MND患者的记忆障碍与病程长短无明显关系。

Histochemical study of the muscle spindles in parkinsonism,motor neuron disease and myasthenia

Summary Pathological changes of the fusimotor endings in parkinsonism, motor neuron disease and myasthenia were examined by the acetylcholinesterase technic on serial sections. In parkinsonism, the diffuse endings, which are thought to be supplied by the static gamma nerve fibers, showed remarkable enlargement, while en plaque and en grappe endings were atrophic. In motor neuron disease, en plaque and en grappe endings, which are thought to be innervated by the beta nerve fibers and dynamic gamma nerve fibers respectively, revealed marked atrophy. However the diffuse endings were normal. In myasthenia gravis and myasthenic syndrome (Eaton-Lambert syndrome), en plaque and en grappe endings were atrophic, though only the diffuse endings were spared. The significance of these changes in the fusimotor endings is discussed.

Zusammenfassung In Serienschnitten wurden die motorischen Endplatten der intrafusalen Muskelfasern in Muskelspindeln von Patienten mit Parkinsonismus, myatrophischer Lateralsklerose und Myasthenia gravis mittels Acetylcholinesterasereaktion untersucht. Beim Parkinsonismus erschienen die diffusen Endigungen, von welchen angenommen wird, daß sie die Endigungen des Gammafasersystemes darstellen, nennenswert verbreitert, während die en-plaque- und en-grappe-Endigungen atrophisch erschienen. In den Fällen von myatrophischer Lateralsklerose erwiesen sich en-plaque- und en-grappe-Endigungen, von welchen angenommen wird, daß sie zu den Betaneuronen und den dynamischen Gammafasern gehören, als ausgesprochen atrophisch. Die diffusen Endigungen allerdings waren normal. Bei Myasthenia gravis und dem myasthenischen Syndrom von Eaton-Lambert zeigten en-plaque- und engrappe-Endigungen Atrophien, während einzig die diffusen Endigungen ausgespart blieben. Es wird die Bedeutung dieser Veränderungen diskutiert.

     

Synaptic loss in anterior horn neurons in lower motor neuron disease

This report concerns an ultrastructural investigation of the synapses of anterior horn neurons in the lumbar spinal cord of four patients with lower motor neuron disease (LMND) who had no upper motor neuron and corticospinal tract involvement. Anterior horn neurons of five normal individuals served as controls. The cell body area and the number of synapses of the normal-appearing neurons of the LMND patients were significantly reduced (P < 0.0001). These findings suggest that synaptic changes of anterior horn neurons could be ascribed to the degeneration of lower motor neurons rather than to the influence of upper motor neuron system degeneration. On the other hand, the lengths of individual synapses (P < 0.0001) and of their active zones (P < 0.05) were significantly increased in the patients. These increases would indicate that synapses on anterior horn neurons of individuals with LMND appear to have the capacity to react to progressive degeneration and loss of other synapses by means of a compensatory response or plasticity that enhances their efficiency.

ALS功能评分和CMAP波幅对MND患者预后评估的研究

目的探讨MND患者ALSFRS与运动传导改变的相关性及其对预后评估的价值。方法2007年8月～2008年7月间符合Escorial诊断标准不同确定性水平的MND患者40例,健康志愿者102名为对照组。对所有患者均进行ALSFRS,并分别测量尺神经（腕部）-小指展肌以及胫神经（踝部）-[足母]展肌的复合肌肉动作电位（CMAP）波幅和末端运动潜伏期（DML）,分析ALSFRS与运动传导参数的关系。结果（1）肯定型ALS20例,拟诊型ALS10例,可能型ALS4例,进行性脊肌萎缩6例;（2）与对照组比较,患者组小指展肌和[足母]展肌CMAP波幅（mV）减低,尺神经DML延长（P〈0．01）;（3）ALSFRS与小指展肌和[足母]展肌CMAP波幅以及尺神经DML均呈显著相关（r分别为0．653,0．446和-0．592;P分别为0．000、0．004和0．000）;ALSFRS％30分的9例（100％）患者CMAP波幅均异常减低,31例ALSFRS≥30分的患者有17例（54．8％）的CMAP波幅异常减低（Х^2=6．25,P=0．012）;（4）随访的8例患者中6例ALSFRS在30分以下;与首次就诊相比,随访的8例患者其ALSFRS以及小指展肌CMAP波幅均减低（P〈0．05）。随访者的ALSFRS与小指展肌及[足母]展肌CMAP波幅均呈正相关（r分别为0．836和0．822;P分别为0．01和0．012）,与DML无相关（P〉0．05）。结论MND患者可出现CMAP波幅减低及DML延长;ALSFRS与CMAP波幅显著相关,二者同时减低提示预后差,可作为客观反映MND患者严重程度的可靠指标。     

Immunocytochemical and ultrastructural studies of hyaline inclusions in sporadic motor neuron disease

Summary We investigated hyaline inclusion bodies (HI) immunocytochemically and ultrastructurally in six cases of sporadic motor neuron disease (MND). All HI contained large amounts of ubiquitin and some HI were stained at the core or the center with anti-neurofilament antibody, with the surrounding halo unstained. No HI were stained with antibodies raised against cytoskeletal proteins such as high-molecular weight microtubule-associated proteins and phosphorylated tau. Ultrastructurally, HI were chiefly composed of filaments measuring about 20 nm in diameter thicker than neurofilaments, and contained fine granules and frequently one or more of four characteristic profiles, i.e., small electron-dense materials resembling Bunina bodies, bundles of tubular filaments measuring approximately 20 nm in diameter, large electron-dense cores, and focal accumulations of randomly arranged neurofilaments. Hyaline inclusions can be regarded as one of the characteristic markers for sporadic MND as well as familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Hyaline inclusions have a markedly heterogeneous ultrastructure and, therefore, differences in immunoreactivity with antineurofilament antibodies are not unexpected.     

Decreased synaptophysin immunoreactivity of the anterior horns in motor neuron disease

This study concerns the synaptophysin expression in anterior horn neurons of 15 patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and of 4 patients with lower motor neuron disease, who had no upper motor neuron and corticospinal tract involvement. Immunohistochemical procedures were employed and specimens from 13 patients without neurological disease served as controls. A decrease in synaptophysin expression was observed in the anterior horn neuropil of all motor neuron disease patients and this reduction was correlated with the degree of degeneration or neuronal loss of anterior horn cells. Synaptophysin immunoreactivity was preserved in the proximal dendrites and around the somata of the remaining normal-appearing neurons, but it was reduced around the somata and dendrite, especially the distal portion of the proximal dendrites of small degenerated neurons with central chromatolysis, pigmentary atrophy, or simple neuronal atrophy. These observations suggest that presynaptic terminal loss is not secondary to motor cortical neuronal loss, but that the synaptic alterations in anterior horns occur in the wake of motor neuron degeneration.Supported by a Grant-in-Aid for General Scientific Research (C) from the Japanese Ministry of Education, Science and Culture, and a research grant for New Drug Development in ALS from the Ministry of Health and Welfare in Japan     

Oculomotor abnormalities in motor neuron disease

To determine whether there are oculomotor abnormalities in motor neuron disease (MND), electrooculographic recordings were performed prospectively in 16 MND patients and the results compared with age-matched healthy controls. Parameters analysed included random and fixed saccades (latency, velocity and accuracy), smooth pursuit (gain, total harmonic distortion and number of saccadic intrusions) and optokinetic nystagmus (maximal and mean slow component velocity). Increased saccadic latencies and decreased smooth pursuit gain were the main alterations in the MND group. Correlation with clinical variables showed a positive relationship between smooth pursuit saccadic intrusions and the bulbar clinical score and the rate of progression and a lower optokinetic nystagmus maximal velocity in patients with pseudobulbar syndrome. Our results demonstrate the presence of subclinical supranuclear abnormalities in MND, and support the notion that MND is not merely a degeneration of the motor system.
