概括
一组阿尔茨海默病 (AD) 患者对粉样β呈阳性,但对β呈阴性,PET扫描显示进展较轻. 这些患者与tau病理患者相比,表现出明显的神经退行和认知特征.
科学领域:
- 神经学 神经学
- 神经成像是一种神经成像.
- 生物标志物 生物标志物
背景情况:
- 阿尔茨海默病 (AD) 诊断依赖于粉样β (Aβ) 和病理检测.
- 一小部分Aβ阳性AD患者对定子发射断层扫描 (PET) 呈阴性.
- 鉴定这一小组对于预后和向治疗选择至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 为了描述Aβ阳性,tau-PET阴性AD患者的亚组.
- 为了比较这个子组中的[18F]flortaucipir结合,缩,认知和共同病理与tau-PET阳性AD患者和对照组.
- 使用FDA批准的视觉读取 (VR) 方法来定义tau-PET阳性.
主要方法:
- 对Aβ阳性,VR-PET阴性AD痴呆症患者 (AD A+T-) 与-PET阳性AD患者 (AD A+T+) 和对照组 (CU A-T-,CU A+T-) 的比较.
- 包括来自阿姆斯特丹队列和阿尔茨海默病神经成像计划 (ADNI) 的患者.
- 评估[18F]flortaucipir在兴趣的早期和晚期tau区域的结合,大脑缩,认知功能和共同病理.
主要成果:
- AD A+T-患者年龄较大,海马缩较少,认知衰退比AD A+T+患者慢.
- 在ADNI中,与对照组相比,AD A+T-患者的早期tau结合和晚期tau结合较高,但随着时间的推移没有显著的tau积累.
- 在AD A+T-组中没有发现tau积累或显著的并发病理的令人信服的证据.
结论:
- VR tau-PET阴性AD患者表现出与AD轨迹一致的神经退行和认知过程,但进展较轻.
- AD A+T-亚组看起来异质,表明不同的潜在病理或疾病阶段.
- 这些发现强调了TAU PET成像在理解AD异质性和指导治疗策略方面的重要性.

Alzheimer's Disease: Overview
336
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a continually advancing neurodegenerative disorder, distinguished by escalating memory loss, cognitive dysfunction, and dementia. The disease unfolds in three stages: preclinical, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and dementia. Its onset is insidious, and the progression gradual, with the cause not well explained by other disorders.
The clinical diagnosis of AD hinges on the presence of memory and other cognitive impairments. Biomarkers, such as changes in Aβ...

Alzheimer's Disease: Treatment
132
Alzheimer's Disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder, is pathologically identified by amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles composed of tau protein. AD pharmacotherapy aims to manage cognitive symptoms, delay disease progression, and treat behavioral symptoms. The treatment is primarily symptomatic and palliative, with no definitive disease-modifying therapy available. Cholinesterase inhibitors, including donepezil (Aricept), rivastigmine (Exelon), and galantamine (Razadyne), are...
