72 LÆKNABLAÐIÐ/FYLGIRIT 22 18 DIFFUSE PLAQUES IN NON- DEMENTED INDIVIDUALS 30-50 YEARS OF AGE. H. Blöndal. E. Benedikz and S. Adalsteinsdottir, Department of Anatomy and Pathology, University of lceland, Medical School. Diffuse beta protein immunoreactivity ("diffuse plaques") in nervous tissue has been variously interpreted as a harmless phenomenon of normal cerebral aging, as a response to neuronal degeneration, as a general stress response of nervous tissue and as a first stage in the development of the. classic senile plaque in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Down's syndrome. We studied frontal and medial temporal lobe specimens from 91 individuals 30-50 years of age without clinical evidence of dementia, that died from a variety of causes. Brain sections were stained with H&E, Congo red, Alcian blue, Bielschowsky's and Campbell's silver stains and immunohistochemically with antibodies to beta-protein. Eighteen individuals (19.8%) were found to have mild (+) to severe (++++) diffuse beta protein positive deposits. The older individuals were more severely affected and some had also subpial and perivascular deposits. Sulfated glycosaminoglycans (S-GAG) shown by Alcian blue staining were found in many of the diffuse beta protein reactive areas. These results show beta protein deposits and associated S-GAGs to be present in non- demented and non DS individuals much earlier than previously reported and may indicate a 20-30 years preclinical period in AD. 19 "HYPERLIPAEMIA" í ÍSLENSKUM HRYSSUM Helai Siaurðsson. Tilraunastöð Háskóla íslands í Meinafræði. "Hyperlipaemia" nefnist efnaskiptasjúkdómur hjá smærri hestakynjum sem kemur aðallega fyrir á seinni hluta meðgöngu eða fljótlega eftir að hryssurnar hafa kastað. Sjúkdómurinn fylgir í kjölfar átleysis, en þættir eins og meðganga, mjólkurmyndun og aðrir sjúkdómar eru hluti af meingjörðinni. Fituefnaskipti brenglast og aukið magn fitu streymir frá fituvefjum út í blóðið og fita safnast fyrir í blóði og lifur. Holdmiklum og/eða hryssum undir álagi (stressuðum) virðist hættara við sjúkdómnum, sérstaklega ef hryssan er á seinni hluta meðgöngu. SÚ kenning hefur verið sett fram, að þessi efnaskiptabrengl tengist insúlín- ónæmni vefja, þó lífefnafræðileg meingjörð sjúkdómsins sé enn ekki ljós. "Hyperlipaemíu" hefur ekki verið lýst hér á landi, þrátt fyrir að talið sé að upp komi slík tiifelli hér á landi. Skoðað var styrkur og samsetning fitu og f itusýra í 6 tilfellum af "hyperlipaemíu". Niðurstöðurnar eru bornar saman við sömu þætti £ blóði heilbrigðra, fylfullra hryssa á svipuðu stigi meðgöngu. f ljós kom gífurleg breyting á styrk fituefna í sermi og samsetningu fitusýra. M.a. kom í ljós að heildarstyrkur fitu í sermi hjá veikum hryssum var 41,82 ± 11,38 g/1 meðan styrkurinn var 3,73 ± 0,61 g/1 hjá heilbrigðum, fylfullum hryssum.
