Clinical symptoms and signs, MRI, EEG and biochemical CSF markers were studied in 26 patients. Histological findings were semiquantitatively evaluated. Compared with typical sCJD, the disease duration was prolonged (median 12 months). Dementia, ataxia and psychiatric symptoms were present in all patients. Extrapyramidal signs were observed in 88%. T2-weighted MRI showed basal ganglia hyperintensities in 90%. Increased thalamic signal intensity was detected in 88% on diffusion-weighted MRI. Increased CSF tau-protein was found in 83%, and the 14-3-3 test was positive in 76%. The EEG revealed periodic sharp wave complexes in only two patients. Kuru plaques, severe thalamic and basal ganglia gliosis and spongiform changes, and neuronal loss in the pulvinar were the prominent histological features. At least one of the three diagnostic tests (MRI, tau- and 14-3-3 protein) supported the clinical diagnosis in all patients. MRI was the most sensitive of the diagnostic tests applied. Thalamic hyperintensities were observed unusually frequently. Prolonged disease duration, early and prominent psychiatric symptoms, absence of typical EEG, thalamic hyperintensities on MRI and relatively low 14-3-3 protein sensitivity may be suspicious for variant CJD. However, distinct sensory symptoms and young age at onset, which are often found in the latter, are not common in the MV2 subtype, and the pulvinar sign was observed in only one case."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1093/brain/awl123"],["dc.identifier.isi","000240679700006"],["dc.identifier.pmid","16720682"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/28191"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Oxford Univ Press"],["dc.relation.issn","0006-8950"],["dc.title","Clinical findings and diagnostic tests in the MV2 subtype of sporadic CJD"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Only isolated cases of the rare VV1 type have been reported so far. Objective: To describe the clinical characteristics and neuropathologic lesion profiles in nine cases. Methods: In the years 1993 until late 2003, 571 definite neuropathologically confirmed cases of sporadic CJD were identified in Germany. Of these, nine were homozygous for valine and displayed type 1 of the pathologic PrPSc in the brain ( VV1 type). Results: The authors describe eight men and one woman belonging to the VV1 type. All patients were relatively young at disease onset ( median 44 years vs 65 years in all sCJD) with prolonged disease duration ( median 21 months vs 6 months in all sCJD). During the initial stages, their main clinical signs were personality changes and slowly progressive dementia as well as focal neurologic deficits. None of the nine VV1 patients had periodic sharp- wave complexes ( PSWCs) in the EEG. Only two out of seven displayed the typical signal increase of the basal ganglia on MRI, whereas signal increase of the cortex was seen in all patients. The 14- 3- 3 protein levels were elevated in CSF in all cases tested. Conclusions: The clinical diagnosis of the VV1 type of sCJD can be best supported by the 14- 3- 3 test and cortical signal increase on MRI. Because of the young age at onset vCJD is sometimes suspected as a differential diagnosis.

The aim of this study was to assess the extent and location of high cortical signal intensity, to investigate whether DW or FLAIR is superior in showing changes in cortical signal intensity, and to find out whether the distribution of the signal intensity changes is random or follows a common pattern. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We analyzed FLAIR and DW MR imaging scans of 39 patients with sCJD for hyperintense cortical signal intensity. We compared the sensitivity of the DW and FLAIR scans. We correlated the extent and location of the cortical signal intensity changes with concomitant changes in deep gray matter and the genotype of codon 129 of the prion protein gene. RESULTS: There was high signal intensity in the insula, the cingulate gyrus, and the superior frontal gyrus in 95%. The cortical areas near the midline also frequently showed the abnormal signal intensity (precuneus 87%, paracentral lobe 77%). The precentral and postcentral gyri were affected less frequently (41% and 28%, respectively). The DW MR imaging showed the cortical changes more effectively than FLAIR. There was no correlation between the distribution of changes and additional signal alterations in deep gray matter or the genotype of codon 129.

The authors studied the records on 26 brain biopsies conducted in patients with Suspected CID who had been referred to the CJD Surveillance Unit in Germany between 1993 and 2005. Results. Of the 26 included patients, 11 suffered front neuropathologically confirmed CJD. which in 5 cases had been deemed clinically \"probable\" and in 2 had been deemed \"possible.\" The disease in the remaining 4 patients had been categorized as \"other\" prior to neuropathological continuation of CJD.

Design: Cerebrospinal fluid samples were collected from CJD patients and control subjects, and concentrations of the anti-inflammatory cytokines interleukin 4 and interleukin 10 were determined using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Patients: Cerebrospinal fluid samples from 61 patients were analyzed. The group was composed of patients with CJD (n = 20), patients with other forms of dementia (n = 10), patients with motoneuron disease (n = 6), patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus (n = 5), and control subjects (n = 20). Conclusions: Elevated levels of the anti-inflammatory cytokines interleukin 4 and interleukin 10 in cerebrospinal fluid of patients with CJD are new findings. The data of the present study provide a clue toward the possible role of cytokines as immunological modifiers in the neurodegenerative process of CJD."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1001/archneur.62.10.1591"],["dc.identifier.isi","000232502900014"],["dc.identifier.pmid","16216944"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/49709"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Amer Medical Assoc"],["dc.relation.issn","0003-9942"],["dc.title","Interleukin 4 and interleukin 10 levels are elevated in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
