Background And Purpose: Recently, the pathogenic and intermediate GGC repeat expansion in NOTCH2NLC was detected in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, detailed clinical, neuroimaging, and pathological information of clinically diagnosed PD patients with pathogenic GGC repeat expansion in NOTCH2NLC remains scarce. Thus, we aimed to elucidate the clinical, neuroimaging, and pathological characteristics of PD patients carrying the pathogenic GGC repeat expansion in NOTCH2NLC.

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a rare demyelinating disease due to a lytic infection of oligodendrocytes caused by polyoma virus (JC virus) infection. PML usually occurs in a setting of severe immunosuppression and is most commonly associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Idiopathic CD4 lymphocytopenia is a very rare cause of PML and only a few cases have been reported in the literature.

Objective: To analyze antisynthetase syndrome-associated myositis by modern myopathologic methods and to define its place in the spectrum of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs).
Methods: Skeletal muscle biopsies from antisynthetase syndrome-associated myositis and other IIMs from different institutions worldwide were analyzed by histopathology, quantitative PCR, and electron microscopy.
Results: Myonuclear actin filament inclusions were identified as a unique morphologic hallmark of antisynthetase syndrome-associated myositis.

The mechanisms of interstitial lung disease (ILD) remain incompletely understood, although recent observations have suggested an important contribution by IL-33. Substantial elevations in IL-33 expression were found in the lungs of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and scleroderma lung disease, as well as in the bleomycin injury mouse model. Most of the observed IL-33 expression was intracellular and intranuclear, suggesting involvement of the full-length (fl) protein, but not of the proteolytically processed mature IL-33 cytokine.

The transcription factor Snail is an important repressor of E-cadherin gene expression. It plays a key role in the induction of epithelial-mesenchymal transition, an essential process important not only in embryonic development and tumor progression but also in organ fibrogenesis. We studied the expression of Snail by immunohistochemistry, along with several epithelial phenotypic changes suggestive of epithelial-mesenchymal transition, in 14 patients with multiple myeloma cast nephropathy.
