Abstract
Axonal degeneration determines the clinical outcome of multiple sclerosis and is thought to result from exposure of denuded axons to immune-mediated damage. Therefore, myelin is widely considered to be a protective structure for axons in multiple sclerosis. Myelinated axons also depend on oligodendrocytes, which provide metabolic and structural support to the axonal compartment. Given that axonal pathology in multiple sclerosis is already visible at early disease stages, before overt demyelination, we reasoned that autoimmune inflammation may disrupt oligodendroglial support mechanisms and hence primarily affect axons insulated by myelin. Here, we studied axonal pathology as a function of myelination in human multiple sclerosis and mouse models of autoimmune encephalomyelitis with genetically altered myelination. We demonstrate that myelin ensheathment itself becomes detrimental for axonal survival and increases the risk of axons degenerating in an autoimmune environment. This challenges the view of myelin as a solely protective structure and suggests that axonal dependence on oligodendroglial support can become fatal when myelin is under inflammatory attack.

Abstract
Three-dimensional "deep-etch" electron microscopy (DEEM) resolves a longstanding controversy concerning poxvirus morphogenesis. By avoiding fixative-induced membrane distortions that confounded earlier studies, DEEM shows that the primary poxvirus envelope is a single membrane bilayer coated on its external surface by a continuous honeycomb lattice. Freeze fracture of quick-frozen poxvirus-infected cells further shows that there is only one fracture plane through this primary envelope, confirming that it consists of a single lipid bilayer. DEEM also illustrates that the honeycomb coating on this envelope is completely replaced by a different paracrystalline coat as the poxvirus matures. Correlative thin section images of infected cells freeze substituted after quick-freezing, plus DEEM imaging of Tokuyasu-type cryo-thin sections of infected cells (a new application introduced here) all indicate that the honeycomb network on immature poxvirus virions is sufficiently continuous and organized, and tightly associated with the envelope throughout development, to explain how its single lipid bilayer could remain stable in the cytoplasm even before it closes into a complete sphere.

Abstract
The ultrastructural change that characterizes the onset of Wallerian degeneration is the disintegration of axoplasmic microtubules and neurofilaments, which are converted into an amorphous and granular material, followed by myelin breakdown. The mechanism underlying such processes is an increase in the amount of intracellular calcium, leading to activation of proteases called calpains. The aim of this study was to evaluate by quantitative ultrastructural analysis whether nerve fibers can be preserved by the use of an exogenous inhibitor of these proteases (calpain inhibitor-2, Mu-F-hF-FMK), after optic nerve crush. For that, the left optic nerves of opossums, Didelphis aurita, were crushed with the aid of a fine forceps, and half of them received a calpain inhibitor mixed with Elvax resin. Ninety-six hours after the lesion, the animals were reanesthetized and transcardially perfused, and the optic nerves were removed, the right ones being used as normal nerves. Afterward, the optic nerves were dissected and processed for routine transmission electron microscopy and quantitative and statistical analysis. The results of this analysis showed that the group that received the calpain inhibitor presented a reduction of astrogliosis, maintaining the optic nerve structure in an organized state; a significant decrease in the number of degenerating fibers; and a significant increase in the number of fibers with preserved cytoskeleton and preservation of axonal and myelin area and integrity, reducing the enlargement and edema of the axon. In conclusion, our findings suggest that calpain inhibitor is able to provide neuroprotection of the central nervous system fibers after a crush lesion.

Abstract
Neurofilaments (NF) are neuronal intermediate filaments formed by three different subunits: high (NF-H), medium (NF-M) and light (NF-L). They are responsible for the determination and maintenance of axon caliber. Accumulation of NF or their immunoreactive products are components of several neurodegenerative disease lesions, such as neurofibrillary tangles, Lewy bodies and the spheroids of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Also, cytoskeletal breakdown is one of the first ultrastructural changes occurring after nerve crush or section. In the present study, Wistar rats were subjected to bilateral enucleation to induce Wallerian degeneration of optic nerve fibers and perfused 24 h, 48 h and 1 week later. Optic nerve segments were processed for electron microscopy (EM), light microscopy immunofluorescence (LM) and immunoelectronmicroscopy (IEM) for NF subunit detection. LM for NF of control nerves showed a slightly different pattern and intensity for each subunit, with more intense staining of NF-M and NF-H and less intense staining of NF-L. This reaction did not change considerably at 48 h, but was severely reduced 1 week after enucleation. Results of EM showed fibers in: (1) partial cytoskeleton degeneration or (2) watery degeneration or (3) dark degeneration. The number of dark degenerating axons was statistically higher at the latest time-interval studied. Neurofilament clumping areas and dark degenerating axons showed positive immunostaining for the three neurofilaments subunits when examined by IEM. These results suggest that dark degenerating axons develop from areas of neurofilament aggregation. We may also conclude that NF proteins participate in the process of axonal dark degeneration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although spinal schwannomas are often encountered, the pathology of the tumor capsule has not been reported. In this study, we describe the ultrastructural pathology of the tumor capsule of spinal schwannomas. METHODS In 18 patients who underwent total removal of spinal schwannomas (C2-conus), the tumor capsule was collected and examined by light and electron microscopy. RESULTS The thickness of the tumor capsule ranged from 15 to 800 microm (mostly 30-100 microm) and was composed of three layers from the surface to the center: 1) a thinly stretched nerve tissue layer; 2) a fibrous layer of fibrocytes, abundant collagen fibers, and tumor vessels; and 3) a thin transitional layer intermingled with fibrous components and tumor cells. The thickness of each layer varied in different regions of the surface. There was no clear separation between the tumor capsule and the neoplastic tissue, even on the electron microscopic level. A number of nerve fibers ran through the fibrous layer and beneath the capsule as well as in the nerve tissue layer. CONCLUSION Compared with vestibular schwannomas, which have been reported to be covered by an extremely thin layer (3-5 microm) of connective tissue, spinal schwannomas were well encapsulated. The capsule was composed of three distinct components; however, the cleavage between thin capsule and tumor cells was indistinct, and the thickness of the axon-containing capsule varied from site to site. Therefore, resection of the nerve of tumor origin, rather than enucleation, would be justified to avoid tumor recurrence. Surgeons should be aware of this pathology when performing the procedure.

Abstract
In this paper we report a qualitative morphological analysis of Wallerian degeneration in a marsupial. Right optic nerves of opossums Didelphis marsupialis were crushed with a fine forceps and after 24, 48, 72, 96 and 168 hours the animals were anaesthetized and perfused with fixative. The optic nerves were immersed in fixative and processed for routine transmission electron microscopy. Among the early alterations typical of axonal degeneration, we observed nerve fibers with focal degeneration of the axoplasmic cytoskeleton, watery degeneration and dark degeneration, the latter being prevalent at 168 hours after crush. Our results point to a gradual disintegration of the axoplasmic cytoskeleton, opposed to the previous view of an "all-or-nothing" process (Griffin et al 1995). We also report that, due to an unknown mechanism, fibers show either a dark or watery pattern of axonal degeneration, as observed in axon profiles. We also observed fibers undergoing early myelin breakdown in the absence of axonal alterations.

Abstract
The signals that prompt the axons to send out processes in peripheral nerves after axotomy are not well understood. Here, we report that galectin-1 can play an important role in this initial stage. We developed an in vitro nerve regeneration model that allows us to monitor the initial axon and support cell outgrowth from the proximal nerve stump, which is comparable to the initial stages of nerve repair. We isolated a factor secreted from COS1 cells that enhanced axonal regeneration, and we identified the factor as galectin-1. Recombinant human galectin-1 (rhGAL-1) showed the same activity at low concentrations (50 pg/ml) that are two orders of magnitude lower than those of lectin activity. A similarly low concentration was also effective in in vivo experiments of axonal regeneration with migrating reactive Schwann cells to a grafted silicone tube after transection of adult rat peripheral nerve. Moreover, the application of functional anti-rhGAL-1 antibody strongly inhibited the regeneration in vivo as well as in vitro. The same effect of rhGAL-1 was confirmed in crush/freeze experiments of the adult mouse sciatic nerve. Because galectin-1 is expressed in the regenerating sciatic nerves as well as in both sensory neurons and motor neurons, we suggest that galectin-1 may regulate initial repair after axotomy. This high activity of the factor applied under nonreducing conditions suggests that galectin-1 may work as a cytokine, not as a lectin.

Abstract
In this paper we make the surprising observation that intracellular injection of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) into a single myelinating oligodendrocyte also resulted in localised HRP labelling at the nodes of Ranvier of some axons of the unit. It appeared that HRP had been transferred to the nodal axoplasm from the paranodal loops of the HRP-filled oligodendrocyte. Three HRP-filled oligodendrocytes from isolated optic nerves of 14-day-old rats were analysed by serial section electron microscopy, and HRP was observed in the axonal cytoplasm at three of the nodes of Ranvier delineated by one of the cells. At labelled nodes, HRP was of a uniform intensity throughout the nodal axoplasm. Axonal labelling gradually diminished along the paranodal regions and was not evident in the contiguous internodal axoplasm beyond 20 microns from the node. The myelin sheaths, paranodal loops, and axons appeared normal at labelled nodes, and the paranodal loops and astrocyte perinodal processes adjacent to those of the HRP-filled oligodendrocyte unit did not contain HRP. There was no evidence of extracellular HRP or tissue damage in the surrounding neuropil, and axons neighbouring those enwrapped by the HRP-filled oligodendrocyte did not contain HRP. The possibility that axonal labelling was an artefact of either iontophoretic injection or tissue preparation is discussed. This provocative finding is not definite proof of exchange, but the balance of evidence supports the possibility that there was transcellular exchange of HRP at paranodes between the labelled oligodendrocyte and some of the axons in the unit. The rarity of HRP transfer to axons suggests that it may be a transient or labile event. It is not clear whether oligodendrocyte to axon macromolecular exchange has real physiological and/or pathological significance.

Abstract
Knowledge concerning the pathophysiologic mechanisms of traumatic optic neuropathy is limited. The optic nerve is a tract of the brain. Therefore, the cellular and biochemical pathophysiology of brain and spinal cord trauma and ischemia provide insight into mechanisms that may operate in traumatic optic neuropathy. The dosage of methylprednisolone (30 mg/kg/6 hours) which was successful in the National Acute Spinal Cord Injury Study 2 (NASCIS 2) evolved from the unique pharmacology of corticosteroids as antioxidants. The management of traumatic optic neuropathy rests on an accurate diagnosis which begins with a comprehensive clinical assessment and appropriate neuroimaging. The results of medical and surgical strategies for treating this injury have not been demonstrated to be better than those achieved without treatment. The spinal cord is a mixed grey and white matter tract of the brain in contrast to the optic nerve which is a pure white matter tract. The treatment success seen with methylprednisolone in the NASCIS 2 study may not generalize to the treatment of traumatic optic neuropathy. Conversely, if the treatment does generalize to the optic nerve, NASCIS 2 data suggests that treatment must be started within eight hours of injury, making traumatic optic neuropathy one of the true ophthalmic emergencies. Given the uncertainties in the treatment, ophthalmologists involved in the management of traumatic optic neuropathy are encouraged to participate in the collaborative study of traumatic optic neuropathy.

Abstract
Nodal and paranodal regions of myelinated sciatic nerve fibres from diabetic (db/db) mice were examined in freeze fracture replicas. In some fibres, the axolemma was found to display abnormalities in the paranodal region. These include shallow, undifferentiated junctional indentations, thinning of the indentations with widening of the non-junctional grooves between them, particle clusters within the non-junctional grooves, and patches in which axolemmal E-face particles are distributed randomly rather than in the form of linear strings within grooves. Nodal structure, in contrast, is hardly affected. Nodal E-face and P-face particle densities in db/db axons are not significantly different from those in age-matched controls, although we found a few examples in which the E-face density fell slightly below the normal range. Occasional fibres showing evidence of paranodal or segmental demyelination were also seen. The results support paranodal pathology as a potential basis for reduced nerve conduction velocity in diabetic nerves but provide no evidence for significant changes in nodal structure or in nodal Na channel density in sciatic nerve fibres of the db/db mouse.

Abstract
Expression of myelin protein genes by myelinating Schwann cells in vivo is dependent on axonal influences. This report investigated the effect of axons on myelin protein mRNA levels in the central nervous system (CNS). In situ hybridization studies of rat spinal cord sections localized mRNAs encoding proteolipid protein (PLP) and myelin basic protein (MBP) 20 and 40 days after unilateral rhizotomy. Compared with control tissue, hybridization intensity was reduced in transected tissue, but there was little change in the number of oligodendrocytes labeled. Cellular RNA was extracted from transected and age-matched control optic nerves 5, 10, 20, and 40 days after surgery, and levels of the following mRNAs were determined by slot blot procedures: PLP, MBP, myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG), and 2',3' cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase (CNP). In transected nerves, PLP and MBP mRNA levels were approximately 85%, 45%, and 25% of control values at 5, 20 and 40 days posttransection, respectively. Axonal transection had a lesser effect on CNP and MAG mRNA levels, which declined to approximately 60% of control levels at 40 days. Immunocytochemical studies indicated that the number of oligodendrocytes was not decreased 40 days after optic nerve transection. These data demonstrate that axons modulate myelin protein mRNA levels in oligodendrocytes. In contrast to Schwann cells, however, oligodendrocytes continue to express significant levels of myelin protein mRNA in vivo following loss of axonal contact.
