Objectives To report clinical,electrophysiological and pathological features of myopathy with tubular aggregates.Methods The onset of the disease was between 5-50 years old in the 6 sporadic male cases.Skeletal muscle biopsy was performed for all cases.Specimens were examined histochemically,enzymhistochemically and electromicroscopically.Results Case 1 and 2 presented with limb girdle myasthenic syndrome.The case 1 developed exercise-induced cramps in the late stage.Case 3 complained about persistent weakness and Dopa-responsive dystonia.Case 4 and 5 were characterized by periodic paralysis.Case 6 showed exercise-induced cramps.Serum potassium was normal in all patients. Slight elevation of serum creatine kinase appeared in 3 cases.Electromyography showed neurogenic pattern in case 1 and 6,myogenic changes in case 4 and 5,and no abnormality in other 2 cases.Marked decrement of active potential amplitude was noted with low frequency repetitive nerve stimuli in case 1 and 2.Four percent to forty percent of muscle fibers showed focal material accumulation in the fibers,which involved mainly type 2 fibers in all cases.The material was stained bright red material with modified gomori trichrome,intensive staining with nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-tetrazolium reductase,lack activity of succinate dehydrogenase and ATPase.Electron microscopy confirmed bundles of parallel micro-tubular structure in the muscle fiber.Conclusions Myopathy with tubular aggregates has various clinical subtypes and electromyographic pattern.Dystonia or other systemic symptoms could be noted in this disease.The limb girdle myasthenic syndrome can also be accompanied with exercise-induced cramps.

Objective To investigate the effect of α-galactosidase A (GLA) gene mutation on cell autophagy and to elucidate its mechanism preliminarily.Methods Two families were diagnosed by ultrastructural pathological examination,GLA gene activity test and GLA gene mutation screening.Mutant type recombinant expression plasmid of two pedigrees (pcDNA3.1-GFP-ex1 (EX1 group),pcDNA3.1-GFP-ex3 (EX3 group)) and wild type recombinant expression plasmid of GLA (pcDNA3.1-GFP-GLA,GLA group) were constructed.Hela cell line (control group) was transiently transfected with recombinant expression plasmid according to lipofectin transfection.The relative gene expression of Beclin-1 was measured with real-time PCR,and protein expression level of LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ,Beclin-1 and P62/SQSTM1 was examined by Western blotting.Results The LC3 protein values of groups EX1,EX3,GLA and control were 1.495 ± 0.064,1.490 ± 0.020,1.285 ± 0.021,1.260 ± 0.042,respectively;P62/ SQSTM1 values were 0.555 ± 0.086,0.480 ± 0.084,0.785 ± 0.439,0.980 ± 0.278,respectively;Beclin-1 mRNA 2-△Ct values were 0.011 ±0.003,0.008 ±0.002,0.005 ±0.001,0.003 ±0.001,respectively;Beclin-1 protein values were 1.178 ±0.098,1.209 ±0.092,0.931 ±0.100,0.796 ±0.184,respectively.Compared with the wide type group,the level of LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ protein was significantly higher in the mutant type groups(t =5.118,4.984;P =0.007,0.008),though no statistically significant difference was found in the expression levels of P62/SQSTM1 (t =1.052,1.400;P =0.323,0.199).Besides,the expression levels of Beclin-1 mRNA (t =3.800,2.445;P =0.005,0.040) and protein (t =2.424,2.729;P =0.042,0.026) were significantly higher in the mutant type groups.Conclusions GLA gene mutation can induce cell autophagic dysfunction,and signaling pathway of autophagic activation may be Beclin-1 dependent.

Objective To report the clinical and peripheral neuropathological findings in two patients with autosomal recessive Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease 2K(AR-CMT2K).Methods Case one was a nine year-old girl.She had distal weakness of lower limbs for six years, with calf atrophy and contracture of Achilles tendon for three years.Case two was an eight year-old boy.He had distal weakness of lower limbs with contracture of Achilles tendon and calf muscle atrophy for three years, and proximal weakness of low limbs for two years.The motor nerve conduction velocities in median nerves were 48.1 m/s in case one and 47.6 m/s in case two.The compound motor action potential amplitude of median nerves decreased by 46% in case one and 69% in case two.Sural nerve biopsies and gene targeted next-generation sequencing were performed in both patients.Results Density of myelinated fibers was 8 407/mm2 in case one and 7 714/mm2 in case two.The ratio of myelinated fibers with diameter over 8 μm was 2.6% in case one and 0 in case two.Both patients had small regenerating cluster of myelinated fibers.Thin myelinated fibers appeared in case one.In case two, atypical onion bulb formations with focal folded myelin appeared, and electromicroscopy revealed mitochondrial aggregate in axons.Compound heterozygous mutations of ganglioside-induced differentiation associated protein 1 gene were detected in both patients, including c.767A>G(p.H256R) and c.466G>A (p.A156T) in case one and c.767A>G and 845G>A(p.R282H) in case two.Conclusions Contracture of Achilles tendon may appear in early childhood of AR-CMT2K patients.The main pathological changes in sural nerve are loss of large myelinated fibers, mitochondrial aggregate in axons and myelin abnormalities.

Objective To analyze the differences of the clinical and neuropathological features among the common Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) subtypes.Methods There were 81 CMT patients confirmed by genetic testing from 2005 to 2015 in Department of Neurology,Peking University First Hospital,including 31 cases of CMT1A (38.3%),19 cases of CMTX1 (23.5%),16 cases of CMT2A2 (19.8%) and 15 cases of 9 rare types of CMT (1.2%-4.9%).We compared the onset age,duration,muscles weakness of legs,frequency of pes cavus,and main pathological changes of the sural nerve biopsy in 48 cases of the common CMT subtypes.Results The mean age of the onset was (12.00 ± 6.77) years in CMT1A patients,(11.81 ±4.65) years in CMTX1 patients and (5.00 ±2.68) years in CMT2A2 patients (Brown-Forsythe test,P =0.001).The duration was (12.00 ± 6.75) years in CMT1A patients,(8.50 ± 4.75) years in CMTX1 patients and (5.00 ± 2.73) years in CMT2A2 patients (Brown-Forsythe test,P =0.001).The muscle force of the dorsi flexors was Ⅳ (0,Ⅴ) in CMT1A patients,Ⅲ + (0,Ⅳ) in CMTX1 patients and 0 (0,Ⅳ) in CMT2A2 patients (H =11.359,P =0.020).The pes cavus appeared in 15/23 cases of CMT1A,10/16 cases of CMTX1 and 1/9 cases of CMT2A2 (Fisher test,P=0.017).The leukoencephalopathy appeared only in 3 cases of CMTX1 and the visual loss appeared only in 3 cases of CMT2A2.The onion-bulb formations of myelinated fibers appeared in 23/23 cases of CMT1 A,5/16 cases of CMTX1 and 2/9 cases of CMT2A2(Fisher test,P =0.000).The axonal regeneration appeared in 16/23 cases of CMT1A,16/16 cases of CMTX1 and 9/9 cases of CMT2A2 (x2 =7.666,P =0.016).There were significant differences among the three common CMT subtypes in the above parameters.Conclusions CMT1A,CMT2A2 and CMTX1 are the most common subtypes of CMT in the present study.For the clinical diagnosis,more attention should be paid to the onset of the disease,duration,muscles weakness,pes cavus,cerebral symptoms and visual loss.The present frequency of onion-bulb and the axonal regeneration of myelinated fibers help the different pathological diagnosis among them.
