The authors assessed the frequency of spinal cord alpha-synuclein pathology in neurologically asymptomatic individuals older than 60 years of age (N = 106). Using alpha-synuclein immunohistochemistry, nine cases (8%) had incidental Lewy neurites in the intermediolateral column and at least some alpha-synuclein pathology in the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus, locus ceruleus, and central raphe nucleus. Sparse alpha-synuclein pathology was also detected in the substantia nigra, basal forebrain, amygdala, or cortex in all but two cases.
作者评估了60岁以上无神经系统症状个体(N = 106)脊髓α-突触核蛋白病变的发生率。采用α-突触核蛋白免疫组织化学方法,9例(8%)在中间外侧柱有偶发性路易小体神经突,迷走神经背运动核、蓝斑和中缝核至少有一些α-突触核蛋白病变。除2例之外,在所有病例的黑质、基底前脑、杏仁核或皮质中也检测到了稀疏的α-突触核蛋白病变。
