9 CJD BSE Variant CJD and BSE Masanori Nakagawa Research Institute for Neurological Diseases and Geriatrics, Department of Neurology and Gerontology, Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine Graduate School of Medical Sciences Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), also known as "mad cow disease," is a fatal brain disease of cattle first recognized in the United Kingdom. In humans, the most common transmissible spongiform encephalopathy is Creutzfeldt-Jacob Disease (CJD). Both diseases are classified into Prion disease. Although no cases of CJD have been directly linked to beef consumption, an advisory committee of the United Kingdom has reported that recent cases of a variant CJD (vcjd) may be associated with BSE in This announcement has alarmed consumers well beyond the borders of the United Kingdom. vcjd is characterized by young age at onset, early psychiatric symptoms, prominent ataxia, absence of periodic electroencephalographic activity, a comparatively prolonged illness, and plaque formation in the brain. It is still unknown how normal human prion proteins (PrP c ) are converted to abnormal prion protein by abnormal bovine prion proteins (PrP Sc ). It is suggested that the aggregated prionic form is most probably a necessary, but possibly not sufficient, prerequisite of infection. Eleven cases of BSE have been reported in Japan, but the beef was not distributed to the Japanese consumers because of Japanese safety system for BSE. No vcjd has been reported in Japan. The first BSE has been recognized in the United States last December. Japanese government immediately prohibited the import of beef from the United State. No sufficient therapies have been established, but pentose sulfate may have some effects for vcjd. : Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease, Variant Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease, Bovine spongiform encephalopathy, Mad cow disease, Prion
