Panencephalopathic type of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease: primary involvement of the cerebral white matter.

Eight necropsy cases of a "panencephalopathic" type of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in the Japanese are reported. The reasons why this type should be discussed separately from other types of CJD are that there is primary involvement of the cerebral white matter as well as the cerebral cortex, and that the white matter lesion of one Japanese human brain with CJD similar to the present group has been successfully transmitted to experimental animals.

A study of chronic pancreatitis by serial endoscopic pancreatography.

The pancreatic duct system was studied with repeated endoscopic retrograde pancreatography in 31 patients with chronic pancreatitis, 32 patients with suspected chronic pancreatitis, and 16 controls without pancreatic disease. In chronic alcoholic pancreatitis the pancreatograms showed marked changes during the initial examination with progression even after abstinence or reduction of drinking. In the alcoholics with suspected chronic pancreatitis, progressive lesions in branch ducts with almost intact main ducts were recognized. In contrast, no remarkable alterations on serial pancreatograms were observed in nonalcoholic cases with definite or suspected chronic pancreatitis. These results suggest that pancreatic duct lesions play an important role in the development and progression of chronic alcoholic pancreatitis in contrast to chronic nonalcoholic pancreatitis.
