[(11)C]-PIB positron emission tomography ([(11)C]-PIB PET) is a sensitive marker of amyloid in Alzheimer's disease (AD), but its specificity has not been fully evaluated. Vascular amyloid-beta deposition is common in Parkinson's disease (PD) and alpha-synuclein, the major component of the Lewy bodies in PD, forms amyloid fibrils. We investigated five apparently cognitively normal PD patients with [(11)C]-PIB PET. The results were compared to 16 patients with AD and six healthy controls from a previous study. [(11)C]-PIB retention was not significantly increased in our patients who all had early stage PD. Further studies of more advanced PD patients are warranted.
[11C] - 匹兹堡复合物B正电子发射断层扫描([11C] - PIB PET)是阿尔茨海默病(AD)中淀粉样蛋白的敏感标志物,但其特异性尚未得到充分评估。血管淀粉样β沉积在帕金森病(PD)中很常见,并且α - 突触核蛋白(PD中路易小体的主要成分)会形成淀粉样纤维。我们对5名表面认知正常的PD患者进行了[11C] - PIB PET检查。将结果与先前研究中的16名AD患者和6名健康对照进行了比较。在我们所有处于PD早期阶段的患者中,[11C] - PIB滞留并未显著增加。有必要对更晚期的PD患者进行进一步研究。
