Abstract
Objective
Identifying intrinsic pattern of Parkinson’s disease (PD) helps to better understand of PD and provide insights to disease identification and treatment monitoring. Here we confirmed the PD-related covariance pattern (PDRP) by using arterial spin labelling technology (ASL-PDRP) and explore its potential for predicting motor progression and levodopa (L-DOPA) reactivity reduction.
Methods
Data from an original cohort of 179 PD and 62 normal controls (NC) and a validation cohort including 36 PD and 19 NC to construct and validate the ASL-PDRP. The correlations between the pattern and motor symptoms were analyzed cross-sectionally and longitudinally (71 PD owned longitudinal data) with hierarchical linear regression analysis. Kaplan-Meier analysis was conducted in 54 L-DOPA-managed PD patients to predict the levodopa reactivity reduction.
Results
The first principal component was predominantly recognized as the ASL-PDRP, with its expression being higher in PD than NC in both sets (original: P = 0.017, AUC = 0.598; validation: P = 0.024, AUC = 0.661). The pattern expression was associated with UPDRS III (P = 0.006) and sub-symptoms (axial: P < 0.001; rigidity: P = 0.003; bradykinesia: P = 0.015) at baseline. The ASL-PDRP could predict the progression of UPDRS III (P = 0.021, β = 4.930). Higher expression of the pattern had slower rate of levodopa reactivity reduction in PD patients with axial symptom (P = 0.031).
Conclusion
The identified ASL-PDRP may have potential for characterizing PD with the ability to predict motor progression and L-DOPA reactivity reduction.
期刊介绍:
NeuroImage: Clinical, a journal of diseases, disorders and syndromes involving the Nervous System, provides a vehicle for communicating important advances in the study of abnormal structure-function relationships of the human nervous system based on imaging.
The focus of NeuroImage: Clinical is on defining changes to the brain associated with primary neurologic and psychiatric diseases and disorders of the nervous system as well as behavioral syndromes and developmental conditions. The main criterion for judging papers is the extent of scientific advancement in the understanding of the pathophysiologic mechanisms of diseases and disorders, in identification of functional models that link clinical signs and symptoms with brain function and in the creation of image based tools applicable to a broad range of clinical needs including diagnosis, monitoring and tracking of illness, predicting therapeutic response and development of new treatments. Papers dealing with structure and function in animal models will also be considered if they reveal mechanisms that can be readily translated to human conditions.
