The clinical differentiation between early Parkinson's disease (PD) and essential tremor (ET) could be difficult, therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate 99mTc-TRODAT-1 SPECT as an applicable tool in this field.
99mTc-TRODAT-1 single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) was performed in 10 healthy volunteers, 27 patients with idiopathic PD (Hoehn and Yahr 1-1.5) and 12 patients with ET. The ratio of striatal (99m)Tc-TRODAT-1 binding was calculated as the index of (striatum - occipital cortex)/occipital cortex.
Compared with the striatal 99mTc-TRODAT-1 uptake in the ET group (0.49 +/- 0.07) or healthy controls (0.54 +/- 0.18), there was a significant decrease in the bilateral striatums of early PD, with a greater reduction in the contralateral striatum (0.27 +/- 0.08) than ipsilateral one (0.36 +/- 0.10, P < 0.01). Its sensitivity and specificity of differentiating early PD from ET was 96.4% and 91.7% respectively.
99mTc-TRODAT-1 SPECT can detect the dysfunction of nigrostriatal system in patients with early PD and provided a feasible tool to help differentiate early PD from ET.
早期帕金森病(PD)与特发性震颤(ET)的临床鉴别可能存在困难,因此,本研究旨在探讨99mTc-TRODAT-1单光子发射计算机断层扫描(SPECT)作为该领域一种适用工具的情况。
对10名健康志愿者、27例特发性PD患者(Hoehn和Yahr分级为1 - 1.5级)及12例ET患者进行99mTc-TRODAT-1单光子发射计算机断层扫描(SPECT)检查。计算纹状体(99m)Tc-TRODAT-1结合率,以(纹状体 - 枕叶皮质)/枕叶皮质作为指标。
与ET组(0.49±0.07)或健康对照组(0.54±0.18)的纹状体99mTc-TRODAT-1摄取情况相比,早期PD患者双侧纹状体摄取显著降低,对侧纹状体降低程度(0.27±0.08)大于同侧(0.36±0.10,P<0.01)。其鉴别早期PD与ET的敏感性和特异性分别为96.4%和91.7%。
99mTc-TRODAT-1 SPECT能够检测早期PD患者黑质纹状体系统功能障碍,为早期PD与ET的鉴别提供了一种可行的工具。
