To assess whether intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) in subjects with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) results in a reduction in amyloid in the central nervous system (CNS).
Five subjects with MCI underwent baseline Florbetapir positron emission tomography and retinal autofluorescent imaging. All were administered IVIG (Octagam 10%) at 0.4 g/kg every 14 days for a total of 5 infusions. After 3 months, standard uptake value ratio (SUVR) and amyloid retinal deposits were reassessed.
Three subjects had a reduction in amyloid SUVR and all 5 subjects had a reduction in amyloid retinal deposits in at least 1 eye.
A short course of IVIG over 2 months removes a measurable amount of amyloid from the CNS in persons with MCI.
评估静脉注射免疫球蛋白(IVIG)是否会减少轻度认知障碍(MCI)患者中枢神经系统(CNS)中的淀粉样蛋白。
5 名 MCI 患者接受基线 Florbetapir 正电子发射断层扫描和视网膜自发荧光成像。所有患者均接受 IVIG(Octagam 10%)0.4 g/kg,每 14 天一次,共 5 次输注。3 个月后,重新评估标准摄取值比(SUVR)和淀粉样蛋白视网膜沉积。
3 名患者的淀粉样蛋白 SUVR 降低,所有 5 名患者至少有 1 只眼的淀粉样蛋白视网膜沉积减少。
在 2 个月内给予短疗程 IVIG 可从 MCI 患者的 CNS 中清除可测量量的淀粉样蛋白。
