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 prĂĽfen"],["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"]]Details DOI PMID PMC WOS2009Journal Article [["dc.bibliographiccitation.firstpage","355"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.issue","3"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.journal","Journal of Neurology"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.lastpage","363"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.volume","256"],["dc.contributor.author","Meissner, Bettina"],["dc.contributor.author","Kallenberg, Kai"],["dc.contributor.author","Sanchez-Juan, Pascual"],["dc.contributor.author","Ramljak, Sanja"],["dc.contributor.author","Krasnianski, Anna"],["dc.contributor.author","Heinemann, U."],["dc.contributor.author","Eigenbrod, Sabina"],["dc.contributor.author","Gelpi, Elena"],["dc.contributor.author","Barsic, B."],["dc.contributor.author","Kretzschmar, Hans A."],["dc.contributor.author","Schulz-Schaeffer, Walter J."],["dc.contributor.author","Knauth, Michael"],["dc.contributor.author","Zerr, I."],["dc.date.accessioned","2018-11-07T08:32:16Z"],["dc.date.available","2018-11-07T08:32:16Z"],["dc.date.issued","2009"],["dc.description.abstract","Iatrogenic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (iCJD) is mainly associated with dura mater (DM) grafts and administration of human growth hormones (hGH).

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.

There has been only limited information available about the contribution of CSF analysis in the differentiation of various molecular sCJD subtypes. Methods: The CSF levels of the aforementioned proteins from 73 sCJD patients with distinct molecular subtypes were determined. Results: Differences in tau values were significant amongst the homozygous patients (MM and VV genotype) compared to the heterozygous group (P = 0.07 and P = 0.02 respectively). Significantly higher CSF tau levels (P = 0.003) and NSE (P = 0.02) but lower p-tau/tau ratio (P = 0.01) were observed in MM1 compared to MM2 patients. The p-tau/tau ratio enabled the differentiation of MV genotype with higher levels in PrPsc type 2 (P = 0.04). Elevation of S100B (P < 0.001) and NSE (P = 0.03) was observed in VV2 compared to VV1 subtype.

Objective To propose an update of diagnostic pathway for the identification of patients for the analysis of D178-M129 mutation. Design and methods Data on 41 German FFI patients were analysed. Clinical symptoms and signs, MRI, PET, SPECT, polysomnography, EEG and cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers were studied. Results An algorithm was developed which correctly identified at least 81% of patients with the FFI diagnosis during early disease stages. It is based on the detection of organic sleep disturbances, either verified clinically or by a polysomnography, and a combination of vegetative and focal neurological signs and symptoms. Specificity of the approach was tested on three cohorts of patients (MM1 sporadic CJD patients, non-selected sporadic CJD and other neurodegenerative diseases).

Previous studies showed that doxycycline is effective in in-vitro and in-vivo models of disease, and patients with CJD who received compassionate treatment with doxycycline showed increased survival time compared with historical series. We therefore did a randomised, double-blind study of doxycycline versus placebo in CJD. Methods We recruited patients older than 18 years old who had a diagnosis of definite or probable sporadic CJD or genetic forms of the disease via Italian reference centres and the French national referral system. Patients were randomly assigned (ratio 1:1) to receive oral doxycydine (100 mg daily) or placebo under double-blind conditions from the day of randomisation to death. Centralised randomisation was done independently of enrolment or evaluation of patients using a minimisation method in Italy and a simple randomisation in France. Participants, caregivers, and clinicians were masked to group assignment. The primary efficacy variable was the survival time from randomisation. Interim analyses were planned to detect a significant effect of treatment as early as possible. This trial is registered with EudraCT, 2006-001858-27 for the Italian study and 2007-005553-34 for the French study. Findings From April 12, 2007, to Aug 19, 2010, in Italy, and from Jan 30, 2009, to Jan 10, 2012, in France, 121 patients with CID were enrolled in the study, 62 of whom were randomly assigned to the treatment group and 59 to the placebo group. The first interim analysis showed absence of superiority of doxycycline compared with placebo, and the trial was stopped for futility. Efficacy analyses did not show significant differences between patients treated with doxycycline and placebo with regard to survival times (HR 1.1, 95% CI 0.8-1. 7, p=0.50). Serious adverse events were judged not to be related to treatment, whereas a relation was deemed probable or possible for five non-serious adverse events that occurred in each treatment group. Interpretation Doxycycline at a dose of 100 mg per day was well tolerated but did not significantly affect the course of CJD, at variance with the results of previous observational studies.

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.

Discussion: The high frequency of thalamic hyperintensity in the MV2 subtype allowed differentiation from MM1 patients. Good inter-observer agreement was found for BG and thalamus in all sequences. DWI showed the highest inter-observer correlation independent of the investigated brain region and was therefore not only highly sensitive but also relatively independent of investigator bias. Since inter-observer correlation for cortical hyperintensity in T2, FLAIR and PD is relatively low, the cortical changes should not be over-interpreted with these sequences."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Department of Health"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/j.1468-1331.2008.02209.x"],["dc.identifier.isi","000257715400013"],["dc.identifier.pmid","18684308"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/53654"],["dc.notes.status","zu prĂĽfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Wiley-blackwell"],["dc.relation.issn","1468-1331"],["dc.relation.issn","1351-5101"],["dc.title","MRI in the classical MM1 and the atypical MV2 subtypes of sporadic CJD: an inter-observer agreement study"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details DOI PMID PMC WOS2008Conference Abstract [["dc.bibliographiccitation.journal","International Journal of Medical Microbiology"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.volume","298"],["dc.contributor.author","Fincke, Fabian"],["dc.contributor.author","Achak, H."],["dc.contributor.author","Krasnianski, Anna"],["dc.contributor.author","Heinemann, U."],["dc.contributor.author","Zerr, I."],["dc.date.accessioned","2018-11-07T11:11:33Z"],["dc.date.available","2018-11-07T11:11:33Z"],["dc.date.issued","2008"],["dc.format.extent","104"],["dc.identifier.isi","000259589400418"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/53462"],["dc.notes.status","zu prĂĽfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Elsevier Gmbh, Urban & Fischer Verlag"],["dc.publisher.place","Jena"],["dc.relation.conference","60th Annual Meeting of the Deutschen-Gesellschaft-fur-Hygiene-und-Mikrobiologie"],["dc.relation.eventlocation","Dresden, GERMANY"],["dc.relation.issn","1438-4221"],["dc.title","Clinical trial of doxycycline as a therapeutic approach in Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease"],["dc.type","conference_abstract"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details WOS
