To investigate brain β-amyloid binding in subjects with Down syndrome (DS) using [(18)F]florbetaben PET imaging.
Thirty-nine subjects with DS (46.3 ± 4.7 years) were assessed with [(18)F]florbetaben PET imaging. Three blinded independent readers assessed the scans to provide a visual analysis. The primary quantitative imaging outcome was a standardized uptake value ratio (SUVR) obtained for 6 brain regions. Cognitive status was evaluated using the Dementia Screening Questionnaire for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (DSQIID).
[(18)F]Florbetaben uptake was correlated with age (p < 0.0001, R(2) = 0.39); 90% of scans in subjects with DS aged 50 years or older (SUVR = 1.62 ± 0.26), 53% in those aged 45 to 49 years (SUVR = 1.43 ± 0.16), and 7% in those aged 40 to 45 years (SUVR = 1.27 ± 0.11) were visually assessed as positive. Visual and quantitative assessments were highly related (χ(2) = 11.3823, p = 0.0007; Cohen κ = 0.58). Only 2 of 34 participants were considered to have dementia by the DSQIID.
Brain β-amyloid binding, as measured by [(18)F]florbetaben, increases with age in DS. Subjects with DS who have no evidence of dementia demonstrate brain β-amyloid binding in vivo, suggesting that [(18)F]florbetaben PET imaging may detect β-amyloid in this at-risk population.
使用[(18)F]氟比他班PET成像研究唐氏综合征(DS)患者的脑β淀粉样蛋白结合情况。
对39名DS患者(46.3±4.7岁)进行[(18)F]氟比他班PET成像评估。三名盲法独立阅片者对扫描结果进行评估以提供视觉分析。主要的定量成像结果是6个脑区的标准化摄取值比率(SUVR)。使用《智障者痴呆筛查问卷》(DSQIID)评估认知状态。
[(18)F]氟比他班摄取与年龄相关(p<0.0001,R² = 0.39);50岁及以上DS患者中90%的扫描结果(SUVR = 1.62±0.26)、45至49岁患者中53%的扫描结果(SUVR = 1.43±0.16)以及40至45岁患者中7%的扫描结果(SUVR = 1.27±0.11)经视觉评估为阳性。视觉评估和定量评估高度相关(χ² = 11.3823,p = 0.0007;Cohen κ = 0.58)。在34名参与者中,只有2人被DSQIID判定为患有痴呆。
通过[(18)F]氟比他班测量的脑β淀粉样蛋白结合在DS患者中随年龄增加。无痴呆证据的DS患者在体内表现出脑β淀粉样蛋白结合,这表明[(18)F]氟比他班PET成像可能在这个高危人群中检测到β淀粉样蛋白。
