Abstract

The presence of progressive white matter atrophy following traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been reported in humans as well as in animal models. However, a quantitative analysis of progressive alterations in myelinated axons and other cellular responses to trauma has not been conducted. This study examined quantitative differences in myelinated axons from several white and gray matter structures between non-traumatized and traumatized areas at several time points up to 1 year. We hypothesize that axonal numbers decrease over time within the structures analyzed, based on our previous work demonstrating shrinkage of tissue in these vulnerable areas. Intubated, anesthetized male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to moderate (1.8–2.2 atm) parasagittal fluid-percussion brain injury, and perfused at various intervals after surgery. Sections from the fimbria, external capsule, thalamus and cerebral cortex from the ipsilateral hemisphere of traumatized and sham-operated animals were prepared and. estimated total numbers of myelinated axons were determined by systematic random sampling. Electron micrographs were obtained for ultrastructural analysis. A significant (P<0.05) reduction in the number of myelinated axons in the traumatized hemisphere compared to control in all structures was observed. In addition, thalamic and cortical axonal counts decreased significantly (P<0.05) over time. Swollen axons and macrophage/microglia infiltration were present as late as 6 months post-TBI in various structures. This study is the first to describe quantitatively chronic axonal changes in vulnerable brains regions after injury. Based on these data, a time-dependent decrease in the number of myelinated axons is seen to occur in vulnerable gray matter regions including the cerebral cortex and thalamus along with distinct morphological changes within white matter tracts after TBI. Although this progressive axonal response to TBI may include Wallerian degeneration, other potential mechanisms underlying this progressive pathological response within the white matter are discussed.

Stuhltransfusion könnte Fortschreiten von Parkinson-Symptomen bremsen

03.05.2024 Parkinson-Krankheit Nachrichten

Kann eine frühzeitige Stuhltransplantation das Fortschreiten von Parkinson-Symptomen verlangsamen? Die Ergebnisse einer randomisierten Phase-2-Studie scheinen dafür zu sprechen.

Frühe Tranexamsäure-Therapie nützt wenig bei Hirnblutungen

02.05.2024 Hirnblutung Nachrichten

Erhalten Personen mit einer spontanen Hirnblutung innerhalb von zwei Stunden nach Symptombeginn eine Tranexamsäure-Therapie, kann dies weder die Hämatomexpansion eindämmen noch die Mortalität senken.

Sind Frauen die fähigeren Ärzte?

30.04.2024 Gendermedizin Nachrichten

Patienten, die von Ärztinnen behandelt werden, dürfen offenbar auf bessere Therapieergebnisse hoffen als Patienten von Ärzten. Besonders scheint das auf weibliche Kranke zuzutreffen, wie eine Studie zeigt.

Akuter Schwindel: Wann lohnt sich eine MRT?

28.04.2024 Schwindel Nachrichten

Akuter Schwindel stellt oft eine diagnostische Herausforderung dar. Wie nützlich dabei eine MRT ist, hat eine Studie aus Finnland untersucht. Immerhin einer von sechs Patienten wurde mit akutem ischämischem Schlaganfall diagnostiziert.
