We examined the correlations between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of homovanillic acid (HVA) and 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid (5-HIAA) and imaging assessment scores, using I-Ioflupane SPECT and I-MIBG myocardial scintigraphy in 23 drug naïve PD patients. The CSF 5-HIAA concentration correlated with the H/M ratio of the delayed image (r = 0.458, p < 0.05) and the washout rate (r = - 0.642, p < 0.01) of I-MIBG myocardial scintigraphy. These correlations suggest some unclarified pathophysiological links between the central serotonergic and cardiac sympathetic systems.
我们研究了 23 例未经药物治疗的帕金森病患者的脑脊液(CSF)高香草酸(HVA)和 5-羟吲哚乙酸(5-HIAA)浓度与 I-碘代异丙基安非他命 SPECT 和 I-间碘苄胍心肌闪烁显像评估分数之间的相关性。CSF 5-HIAA 浓度与 I-MIBG 心肌闪烁显像的延迟图像 H/M 比值(r = 0.458,p < 0.05)和洗脱率(r = -0.642,p < 0.01)相关。这些相关性提示中枢 5-羟色胺能和心脏交感神经系统之间存在一些未阐明的病理生理联系。
