Chronic alcoholism: report of an autopsy case and comparison with pseudoulegyric type of hepatocerebral degeneration.

An autopsy case diagnosed as chronic alcoholism was reported. He clinically showed progressive neurological illness. His CNS lesions were composed of disseminated necrotic foci in the cerebral cortices with many Alzheimer type II astrocytes, pachymeningitis hemorrhagica interna, and lesions similar to pellagra and Wernicke encephalopathy. Some clinical and pathological analogous features between chronic alcoholism and pseudoulegyric type of hepatocerebral degeneration were discussed.

Spastic paraplegia with neurogenic amyotrophy manifesting ballooned axons in sural nerve.

A 21-year-old man had progressive symmetric, distal muscle atrophy and weakness, as well as spasticity of the limbs. Histologic examination of the sural nerve disclosed swollen axons containing membranous tubular profiles, ring tubules, large mitochondria with abnormal cristae, and glycogen like granules. Peripheral sensory nerve fibers also were affected. The pathologic features of the peripheral nerves were similar to those of infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy. Sural nerve biopsy may be useful in the study of pathologic processes in spastic paraplegia.

Infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy. Ultrastructural study of peripheral nerve.

Ultrastructural study of the biopsied sural nerve in a case of infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy was made. The characteristic change in the ballooned axons is an accumulation of membranous profiles associated with mitochondria, glycogen like granules, dense bodies, vesicles and electron lucent material. The membranous profile is classified into three morphological types and discussed on each of them. Probably tubulomembranous profile of the first type is most common and may be cardinal deposit in this condition. These membranous structures of various types might be, however, only different manifestations occurring on the same morbid process. Enormous amount of glycogen like granules and mitochondria might be related to the metabolic derangement of carbohydrate in the ballooned axons. Electron lucent material we observed was not described in the previous papers on this condition. We added one more example showing that nerve biopsy is helpful to confirm the diagnosis in infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy.

An experimental study of intraoral carcinogenesis in rats.

A new method has been devised for preparing artificial cecal pouches lined with mucous epithelium in the lower lips of Wistar and Sprague-Dawley rats in order to make carcinogens act continuously for a long time in the oral mucosa. When a 0.5 per cent mineral oil solution of DMBA, a crystal of MC, and a crystal of NG were administered, squamous-cell carcinoma, carcinoma in situ, papilloma, adenoma sebaceum. neurofibroma, fibroma, hemangiosarcoma, hemangiosarcoma, hemangioma, and lymphangioma were successfully produced in the oral mucosa of rats. In addition, interesting findings were obtained concerning tissue changes in the process of carcinogensis in the mucous epithelium.
