To investigate systemic levels of acetylcholinesterase in early Parkinson disease (PD) with C-donepezil PET, a potential marker of parasympathetic innervation.
This was a cross-sectional study with 19 patients with early-stage PD (disease duration 1.5 ± 0.6 years) and 16 age-matched controls who had clinical assessments, olfaction tests, and C-donepezil PET to measure acetylcholinesterase density in peripheral organs.
The patients with PD showed significantly reduced C-donepezil uptake in the small intestine (-14%, = 0.018), colon (-22%, < 0.001), and kidneys (-14%, = 0.028). No difference in myocardial or pancreatic acetylcholinesterase levels was seen.
We found significantly decreased C-donepezil signal in the intestine and kidneys of patients with early PD, suggesting that parasympathetic denervation is present early in the disease course.
使用C-多奈哌齐PET研究早期帕金森病(PD)患者体内乙酰胆碱酯酶的全身水平,这是副交感神经支配的一个潜在标志物。
这是一项横断面研究,纳入了19例早期PD患者(病程1.5±0.6年)和16例年龄匹配的对照者,对他们进行了临床评估、嗅觉测试以及C-多奈哌齐PET检查,以测量外周器官中的乙酰胆碱酯酶密度。
PD患者的小肠(-14%,P = 0.018)、结肠(-22%,P < 0.001)和肾脏(-14%,P = 0.028)中C-多奈哌齐摄取显著降低。心肌或胰腺乙酰胆碱酯酶水平未见差异。
我们发现早期PD患者肠道和肾脏中的C-多奈哌齐信号显著降低,提示在疾病病程早期即存在副交感神经去神经支配。
