Slow Virus Diseases
Der Nervenarzt (79)4 2008
Abstract
Data from studies of twins and migrants with multiple sclerosis (MS) imply environmental factors in the development of MS. In this respect, increasing evidence indicates that Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) plays a unique role as an infectious risk factor for MS. A nearly 100% seroprevalence of antibodies...

Abstract
The symptoms associated with slow viral or prion diseases of the central nervous system tend to have multiple neurologic symptoms, and different patients may present with different symptoms. This review discusses the most common slow virus infections and their imaging findings.

Abstract
The history of prion diseases is derived from descriptions of scrapie of sheep and goats in the eighteenth century. In 1920, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease was reported as the first case of human prion diseases, which was recognized as subacute spongiform encephalopathy, one of neurodegenerative diseases...

Abstract
Pulmonary complications occur frequently after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and account for considerable mortality when associated with respiratory failure. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is commonly used in the diagnostic evaluation of pulmonary infiltrates in HSCT patients. Althoug...

Abstract
We present empirical evidence that helminth vectoring of pathogens occurs in a range of vertebrate systems by a variety of helminth taxa. Using a novel theoretical framework we explore the dynamics of helminth vectoring and determine which host-helminth-pathogen characteristics may favour the evolut...

Abstract
Outcome of patients with squamous cell NPC (SC-NPC) was significant worse than that of those with non-keratinizing NPC (NK-NPC). Age and tumor size correlated with response to therapy. The group with negative conventional LMP-1 staining showed better overall survival after 5 years compared to the gr...

Abstract
We attempted an immune therapy with interferon alpha-2a over a period of 11 months, but failed to cause a significant effect on the appearance and progression of the skin lesions. Furthermore, we could not confirm the effectiveness of a recently reported treatment modality with pentoxifylline and as...

Abstract
We used a tetracycline controlled transactivator (tTA) driven by the PrP gene control elements and a tTA-responsive promoter linked to a PrP gene [Gossen, M. and Bujard, H. (1992) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 89, 5547-5551]. Adult Tg mice showed no deleterious effects upon repression of PrPC expressio...

Recent advances have been made in understanding the aetiology, diagnosis and treatment of Paget's disease of bone (osteitis deformans). The role of viruses in the pathogenesis of the disease has been extensively investigated, although no causative link has yet been demonstrated between infective age...

Abstract
Specific globular structures, 10-12 nm in diameter, having a high resistance to various physicochemical factors and infectivity have been isolated for the first time from the brain of 2 patients, who died of amyotrophic leukospongiosis (AL). It has been shown that these globules contain infectious m...

We newly designed our own regimen based on the natural history of HBV VT, the neonatal immune response to the recombinant vaccine and cost-effectiveness, and compared it with the Ministry one. It is not doubt that breast feeding is the most important route for HTLV-1 VT. However, other infectious ro...

The "milestones" of virology try to depict the development from variolation to construction of hybrid viruses. Not only single observations or detections are listed, in contrast, this is an attempt to delineate from single events conclusions for the more general development of virology. Because of t...

Scrapie, the prototype of a group of diseases which have the unique property of being both hereditary and infectious, is also exceptional in that it fails to evoke an immune response. Purification of crude scrapie preparations revealed a strong association of infectivity with a membrane protein ('Pr...

Abstract
There have been remarkably rapid advances in the understanding of prion diseases over the past year. The controversial notion that the transmissible agent may be an abnormal isoform of a host-encoded protein, the prion protein, is now gaining wide acceptance. The conundrum of how a disease can both...

The known host range of naturally-occurring transmissible spongiform encephalopathies has expanded in recent years to include wild ruminants.

Spongiform encephalopathies include seven neurodegenerative diseases: three in man (Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker disease and kuru) and four in animals (scrapie, mink encephalopathy, bovine spongiform encephalopathy and chronic wasting disease in deer and elks). They are...
