MAY 12/84 WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO UMlT Wear a Carnation for Multiple Sclerosis Day This Saturday, May 12 Multiple sclerosis is a paradox. Although it has been traced to at least the early 19th century, most of the advances in multiple sclerosis have come within the last 10 years. It is thought that Augustus Augustus D'Este, an illegitimate grandson of British monarch George III, had this neurological disease. His diaries, written between between 1822 and 1848, are filled with descriptions of symptoms such as blurred vision, numbness, progressive progressive weakness and painful spasms. Multiple sclerosis was finally finally characterized in 1868 by French neurologist Jean Martin Charcot. This first comprehensive and integrated integrated description of ail aspects aspects of multiple sclerosis remains a classic today. Despite this history, scientists scientists agree most progress in multiple sclerosis research research has occurred since 1970. "Although much remains to be learned about multiple multiple sclerosis before a prevention, prevention, cure and treatment are found, there is general agreement among researchers researchers on three essential points," said Dr. William J. Mcllroy, national medical advisor to the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada and head of the department of neurology at Toronto Western Hospital. It is agreed that multiple sclerosis is probably an immunologic immunologic disease; it is probably triggered by a virus, and it occurs in people who are genetically susceptible. The scientific evidence suggests that multiple sclerosis is the consequence consequence of a misdirected attack attack by the immune system on myelin, the fatty sheath that insulates nerve fibres in the central nervous system. system. MS consists of patches or "plaques" of inflammation, inflammation, scattered throughout the white matter of the brain and spinal cord with leakage of fluid from blood vessels into brain tissue, breakdown of myelin and, finally, scarring. As a result of the inflammation and later, the loss of myelin and subsequent scarring, nerve impulses are slowed down or fail to pass through the affected areas. Multiple sclerosis is unusual unusual in that it occurs more' frequently in temperate climates. climates. The further one lives from the equator the higher the risk of having multiple sclerosis. This means that Canada is a high risk area for the disease (areas which have a prevalence of greater than 40 cases per 100,000 population are designated designated high risk.) Canadians are also at greater risk of developing multiple sclerosis since most of the population are descendants of immigrants from northern Europe, the group must susceptible to multiple sclerosis. "It was discovered in the late 1970's as the result of research with organ transplants transplants that just as the color of hair is inherited, the body's ability to respond to foreign invaders is also under genetic control. Each ■person inherits a distinct pattern of histocompatabil- ity or, as they are also called, HLA antigens (protein (protein molecules on the surface surface of a cell which impart a chemical identity to that cell which determines whether other cells will recognize it as foreign)," said Dr. Mcllroy. Investigators have discovered discovered that antigens A3 and B7 occur more frequently in people who have MS than among. non-MS controls. Another antigen DW2 is also associated frequently with those who have multiple multiple sclerosis. Interestingly, these particular particular antigens are found much more frequently among northern Caucasian populations of Europe and North America -- where there are also high rates of multiple sclerosis. In areas of low multiple sclerosis prevalence such as Japan, South Africa and around the Mediterranean other HLA antigens occur more often. What these facts mean is that Canada is a part of the world that has a vested interest interest in multiple sclerosis research. The Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada estimates that there are 35,000 Canadians who have multiple sclerosis and who must cope with symptoms that may include weakness, extreme fatigue, disturbances disturbances of vision, loss of coordination and tremor. Because multiple sclerosis is such a complex problem -- with an unknown unknown cause, no treatment and no cure -- MS research remains wide ranging although although in recent years the amount of time and effort spent on the immunologic aspects has increased substantially. substantially. Since multiple sclerosis appears to result from the body making an abnormal immune response to some kind of antigen, a great deal of research is directed at trying to identify this antigen. antigen. It may very well be that the antigen is part of the body itself and that the immune immune system mistakes it as "foreign", and destroys it, thus causing the symptoms of multiple sclerosis. In addition to searching for the antigen that triggers the abnormal immune response, response, scientists are also looking at how to control it. "The new buzz words in this field are 'immune regulation'," regulation'," said Dr. Mcllroy. "Researchers are learning more and more about what controls the body's immune response to foreign invaders. invaders. Of particular interest is the function of the white blood ceils called lymphocytes lymphocytes especially the'T' cells produced by the thymus gland." One class of these cells, the so-called suppressor cells, becomes reduced in number during an attack of multiple sclerosis and returns returns to normal levels during during remission. "As we learn more about the mechanisms of immune regulation, ultimately we may be able to intervene and manipulate these reactions reactions and thus modify the course of the disease," he added. The Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada is striving striving to increase its research funding and to urge increased increased government funding. funding. At the same time, the Society will continue to provide provide services for those who must live with the disease now and to inform Canadians Canadians about its consequences. consequences. To continue these efforts, the Multiple Sclerosis Society Society of Canada, Durham Chapter, is conducting MS Carnation Day, a national fund-raising campaign on Saturday, May 12th. Show you care.
