It is suspected that a pathologically altered form of the prion protein (PrPSc) is the decisive trigger of the disease. Data from animal experiments suggest an involvement of the lymphatic system in the intracorporal transport of PrPSc. However, it has not so far been possible to detect PrPSc on mononuclear cells (MNCs) either in the sporadic form of CJD or in the new variant of CJD (vCJD). In order to determine a possible alteration of MNCs in CJD, we investigated the natural and induced apoptotic behaviour of these cells.MNCs from 19 patients with sporadic CJD and from 20 patients with other neurological disorders were used. The cells were analysed by fluorescence cytometry with and without apoptosis induction by xanthine oxidase and hypoxanthine. The apoptosis rate was quantified using the stain 7-amino-actinomycin D (7-AAD). In the morphological investigation of the cells before apoptosis induction, there were no significant differences between the groups with regard to cell size and granularity of the MNCs. After apoptosis induction, the typical significant decrease in cell size and increase in granularity of the cells occurred in both groups. Significant differences between the patient populations were not found.For the first time, our investigation has demonstrated that a functional impairment of MNCs with regard to their apoptotic behaviour does not occur in sporadic CJD. It remains open to question whether this mechanism plays an important role in forms of transmissible encephalopathy other than sporadic CJD, especially after oral transmission."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/pl00007834"],["dc.identifier.gro","3151691"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/8510"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","chake"],["dc.relation.issn","0340-5354"],["dc.title","Unaltered apoptotic behaviour of mononuclear cells from patients with sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Static [F-18]FDG-PET studies of eight patients with the diagnosis of confirmed or probable CJD were retrospectively analysed by two physicians from departments of nuclear medicine independently with a strong interrater agreement (kappa=0,98). The clinical data of the patients, based on a standardized evaluation by physicians from the German Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease surveillance study, was correlated with the PET findings. [F-18]FDG-PET shows widespread hypometabolism in CJD. All patients had a reduction of cerebral glucose metabolism in at least one temporal or parietal region. Additionally in 7 of our own 8 cases and 3 of 4 cases from the literature the occipital lobe, the cerebellum or the basal ganglia were involved. These findings differ from typical patterns of hypometabolism in Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. In two thirds of the cases the distribution was markedly asymmetric. Myoclonus was present in five out of our eight own cases. Our data suggest that myoclonus might correlate with metabolic impairment of contralateral parietal and temporal lobes. In three of four patients with visual symptoms FDG uptake was reduced in the visual cortex bilaterally. Typical hyperintensities on MRI were only found in two of the eight cases at the time of PET-studies. Our results demonstrate that [F-18]FDG-PET appears to be a sensitive investigation in CJD and could be useful to differentiate CJD from other neuro degenerative disorders."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s00415-002-0695-3"],["dc.identifier.isi","000176407100008"],["dc.identifier.pmid","12111302"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/43553"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Dr Dietrich Steinkopff Verlag"],["dc.relation.issn","0340-5354"],["dc.title","Positron emission tomography with [F-18]FDG in the diagnosis of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD)"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Background: Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is a rare neurodegenerative disease that belongs to the group of human spongiform encephalopathies and usually affects elderly people. It is clinically characterized by rapidly progressive dementia and development of neurological symptoms, such as myoclonus or ataxia. Until now, neuroradiologic investigations have only played a minor role in establishing the clinical diagnosis of CJD, and they are often performed to exclude differential diagnoses. Setting: A university hospital, base of the German National Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Surveillance Study. Methods and Patients: In this study, MRIs from suspected cases of CJD were examined by one investigator blinded to the diagnosis. Patients were classified according to the established clinical and neuropathological criteria. Results: Bilateral symmetric, high signal intensities on T2-weighted MRIs were present in the basal ganglia of 109 (67%) of 162 patients with CJD. In the control group, which consisted of non-CJD dementia patients, these abnormalities on T2-weighted MRIs were found in 4 (7%) of 58 patients. This corresponds to a high specificity in the differential diagnosis of CJD. Conclusion: These results indicate that MRI is a useful and valuable tool with reasonable sensitivity (67%) and high specificity (93%) and should be considered as an additional cornerstone in the clinical diagnosis of CJD."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1001/archneur.57.12.1751"],["dc.identifier.isi","000165810400011"],["dc.identifier.pmid","11115241"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/29640"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Amer Medical Assoc"],["dc.relation.issn","0003-9942"],["dc.title","Magnetic resonance imaging in the clinical diagnosis of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Methods-Brains from necropsy were examined for the diagnosis of CJD at the German reference centre for spongiform encephalopathies. Symptoms and signs in patients with suspected CJD in whom necropsy showed AD (n=19) or DLB (n=12) were analysed. Their data were compared with a group of patients with CJD (n=25) to determine overlapping and discriminating clinical features. All patients were classified according to clinical diagnostic criteria for CJD, AD, and DLB. Results-Demented patients were suspected of having CJD if disease was rapidly progressing and/or focal neurological signs appeared and/or an EEG showed sharp wave complexes. Myoclonus and limb rigidity were the most common neurological signs in all three dementias. DLB was not suspected in any patient, although patients with DLB showed parkinsonism (58%) and fluctuations (58%). Periodic sharp wave complexes (PSWCs) in EEG typical of CJD were found in five patients with AD and one patient with DLB. 14-3-3 Protein in CSF was detected in 20 patients with CJD, in two patients with AD, but not in any patient with DLB. Although most patients with DLB or AD met the clinical criteria for their respective diagnosis (74% and 90%), they also fulfilled criteria for CJD (42% and 58%). Conclusions-in patients with rapidly progressive dementia and focal neurological signs, CJD should be the first line diagnosis.
