【 摘 要 】

The peripheral part of the olfactory system (bulb and tract) was investigated for the occurrence of corpus amylaceum (CA) (polyglucosan body) in 296 (281 pathological and 15 control) autopsied human brains. No significant differences were found respect to the incidence between the various age groups above 40 or between the different disease groups and the controls. The predominance of CA in the olfactory tract and its loose correlation with the over 40 age group at this localization could be, the result of various factors, including the extremely rich astrocytic and capillary network in the intermediate zone, as well as the proximity of the olfactory tract to the external environment, which may result in the protective role of CA. The role of stress was proved by the HSP-60 positivity of CA.
