Disturbed sleep due to obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) might accelerate amyloidβ (Aβ) deposition, which can be a crucial factor in Alzheimer's disease. We studied Aβ deposition in untreated OSAS patients with normal cognition.
We performed polysomnography (PSG) and Aβ imaging with [C]-Pittsburgh compound B PET computed tomography (C-PiB PET CT) in 14 untreated OSAS patients (apnea-hypopnea index: 43.8 ± 26.3/h).
The abnormal accumulation of enhanced C-PiB PET was observed only one patient with severe, but not the most severe.
The OSAS severity alone may not predict Aβ deposition in OSAS patients with normal cognition.
阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征(OSAS)引起的睡眠障碍可能会加速淀粉样蛋白β(Aβ)沉积,这可能是阿尔茨海默病的一个关键因素。我们研究了认知功能正常的未经治疗的 OSAS 患者的 Aβ沉积情况。
我们对 14 名未经治疗的 OSAS 患者(呼吸暂停-低通气指数:43.8±26.3/小时)进行了多导睡眠图(PSG)和[C]-匹兹堡化合物 B PET 计算机断层扫描(C-PiB PET CT)的 Aβ成像。
仅在一名严重但并非最严重的患者中观察到增强的 C-PiB PET 的异常积聚。
OSAS 严重程度本身可能无法预测认知功能正常的 OSAS 患者的 Aβ 沉积。
