Three-Dimensional Reconstruction of the Florid Plaque in variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Diseases
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents the possibility of 3-D reconstruction of the florid plaques obtained in Transmission ElectronMicroscopy. The TEM images registration process is quite different from Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and Computed Tomography on account to increasing amount of the image size and resolution together. The normalisation of image brightness and contrast, produced by differences in slices thickness and differences in time of photograph developing, have also been proposed and discussed. Finally the florid plaque segmentation and reconstruction based on the kmeans clustering algorithm will be demonstrated.

Dispersion of prion protein deposits around blood vessels in variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
In variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD), a disease linked to bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), florid-type prion protein (PrP(sc)) deposits are aggregated around the larger diameter (> 10 µm) cerebral microvessels. Clustering of PrP(sc) deposits around blood vessels may result from blood-borne prions or be a consequence of the cerebral vasculature influencing the development of the fl...
متن کاملFlorid plaques in ovine PrP transgenic mice infected with an experimental ovine BSE.
The occurrence of the variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD), related to bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), raises the important question of the sources of human contamination. The possibility that sheep may have been fed with BSE-contaminated foodstuff raises the serious concern that BSE may now be present in sheep without being distinguishable from scrapie. Sensitive models are urgentl...
متن کاملSize frequency distributions of abnormal protein deposits in Alzheimer's disease and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
The size frequency distributions of beta-amyloid (A beta) and prion protein (PrPsc) deposits were studied in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and the variant form of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) respectively. All size distributions were unimodal and positively skewed. A beta deposits reached a greater maximum size and their distributions were significantly less skewed than the PrPsc deposits. All d...
متن کاملLaminar Distribution of the Pathological Changes in Sporadic and Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease
The laminar distributions of the pathological changes in the cerebral cortex were compared in the prion diseases sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) and variant CJD (vCJD). First, in some cortical regions, the vacuolation ("spongiform change") was more generally distributed across the cortex in sCJD. Second, there was greater neuronal loss in the upper cortex in vCJD and in the lower cort...

Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) belong to a group of degenerative neurological disorders collectively known as the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs). The group also includes scrapie of sheep and goats, kuru of humans, chronic wasting disease of mule deer and elk and transmissible encephalopathy of mink. These fatal diseases cause behavio...
