She reported slight pain when pressing the skin over the irregular area. Computed tomography (CT) showed mottling and small patchy destruction of the left parietal bone. Cranial contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a homogeneously-enhanced, en plaque mass, measuring 59 × 22 mm. The MRI also showed that the mass had infiltrated the parietal bone, and the dural tail sign was present (Figure 1). Blood tests ruled out anemia (hemoglobin 10.6 g/dL), hypercalcemia (serum calcium: 2.25 mmol/L), and renal insufficiency (serum creatinine: 54 μmol/L). She denied having headaches, vomiting, epileptic seizures, and paresthesia. No other lesions were found during physical examination or imaging studies. On the basis of the radiological features of the lesion, en plaque meningioma was highly suspected, and the patient was advised to undergo tumor resection. Intraoperatively, the tumor was located in the epidural space and was completely resected via a left-sided parietal approach. The invaded bone was excised, and titanium mesh was used to restore the cranial bone defect. Postoperatively, the patient had no neurological deficits and was discharged on postoperative day 5 (Box 1).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hematoxylin and eosin (H&amp;E) staining showed a large number of cells with eccentrically located nuclei and prominent large nucleoli resembling plasma cells in the parietal lobe mass (Figure 2A). Immunohistochemical staining revealed tumor cells positive for cluster of differentiation (CD) 56 (Figure 2B), multiple myeloma oncogene 1 (MuM-1) (Figure 2C), lambda immunoglobulin light chains (Figure 2D), CD79a, but negative for side-to-side kappa immunoglobulin light chains (Figure 2E). The Ki-67 proliferation index was 15% (Figure 2F). In situ hybridization for Epstein–Barr virus encoded RNA was negative. Additionally, the tumor was negative for CD138, CD38, CD19, CD30, and cyclin D1 with immunohistochemical staining.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Plasma cell neoplasm.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The unexpected pathological diagnosis prompted a referral to hematology. In the hematology department, our patient underwent further evaluation, including urinalysis for Bence-Jones protein, PET, and bone marrow examination. The results of immunoglobulin testing were normal, and bone marrow examination revealed that the plasma cell percentage was 8.5%. Postoperative PET/CT revealed postoperative changes after resection of the left parietal tumor; no significant increase in glucose metabolism was observed in the whole-body images. All of above supported the diagnosis of plasmacytoma.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to the International Consensus Classification of mature lymphoid neoplasms, plasmacytoma is defined as a localized neoplasm of clonal plasma cells without evidence of multiple myeloma.

We utilize the t-distributed neighborhood embedding (t-SNE) model for dimensionality reduction and visualization of tumor classification results in two-dimensional graphs in a distributed approach across multiple sites (DistSNE). DistSNE provides an intuitive web interface (https://gin-tsne.med.uni-giessen.de) for user-friendly local data management and federated methylome-based tumor classification calculations for multiple collaborators in a DataSHIELD environment. The freely accessible web interface supports convenient data upload, result review, and summary report generation. Importantly, increasing sample size as achieved through distributed access to additional datasets allows DistSNE to improve cluster analysis and enhance predictive power. Collectively, DistSNE enables a simple and fast classification of CNS tumors using large-scale methylation data from distributed sources, while maintaining the privacy and allowing easy and flexible network expansion to other institutes.

Our results show that when the ipsilateral hippocampus is dramatically damaged, the contralesional hippocampus exhibits several statistically significant selective alterations.

However, degeneration of the olivospinal tract has not been studied in MSA. We examined 97 spinal cords from consecutively autopsied patients with MSA. Myelin staining revealed that 22 cords (22.7%) had small, bilateral, triangular-shaped tract degeneration in the boundary of the anterior and lateral funiculi, which appeared continuously from C1 to C5.

Still, the underlying processes remain unclear, as numerous pathways and factors have been found to be involved in the development and progression of the disease. Therefore, it is of great importance to find suitable animal models as well as reliable methods for their precise and reproducible analysis. Here, we describe the impact of demyelination on clinically relevant gray matter regions of the hippocampus and cerebral cortex, using the previously established cuprizone model for aged mice. We could show that bioinformatic image analysis methods are not only suitable for quantification of cell populations, but also for the assessment of de- and remyelination processes, as numerous objective parameters can be considered for reproducible measurements. After cuprizone-induced demyelination, subsequent remyelination proceeded slowly and remained incomplete in all gray matter areas studied. There were regional differences in the number of mature oligodendrocytes during remyelination suggesting region-specific differences in the factors accounting for remyelination failure, as, even in the presence of oligodendrocytes, remyelination in the cortex was found to be impaired. Upon cuprizone administration, synaptic density and dendritic volume in the gray matter of aged mice decreased. The intensity of synaptophysin staining gradually restored during the subsequent remyelination phase, however the expression of MAP2 did not fully recover. Microgliosis persisted in the gray matter of aged animals throughout the remyelination period, whereas extensive astrogliosis was of short duration as compared to white matter structures. In conclusion, we demonstrate that the application of the cuprizone model in aged mice mimics the impaired regeneration ability seen in human pathogenesis more accurately than commonly used protocols with young mice and therefore provides an urgently needed animal model for the investigation of remyelination failure and remyelination-enhancing therapies.</p>","PeriodicalId":9290,"journal":{"name":"Brain Pathology","volume":"34 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2023-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/bpa.13218","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71478265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He died 6 years following symptom onset and neuropathological examination showed concomitant progressive supranuclear palsy and Lewy body pathology. Although he did not fulfil clinical criteria for either condition at presentation, we propose that interactions between the two pathologies in mesial temporal regions could result in this atypical clinical phenotype.\u0000 <figure>\u0000 <div><picture>\u0000 <source></source></picture><p></p>\u0000 </div>\u0000 </figure></p>","PeriodicalId":9290,"journal":{"name":"Brain Pathology","volume":"34 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2023-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/bpa.13219","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71478266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
