摘要：
An electron microscopic study revealed disruption of capillary endothelial tight junctions (TJs) in both biopsied muscle, taken at 5 years and 1 month of age, and the autopsied brain, taken at 13 years and 6 months of age, in a patient with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) point mutation A3243G. This endothelial barrier disruption might result in vasogenic edema and systemic lactic acidosis, possibly the critical pathology of MELAS.
