This report examines extended intra-nasal insulin treatment [INI] for an Insulin Resistant early Mild Cognitive Impairment [MCI] patient. Patient [EJ] also had medial temporal lobe [MTL] damage, poor short-term memory, significant irritability, and social and linguistic withdrawal at treatment start. Compared to baseline, nine months INI treatment increased grey matter volume, lowered beta-amyloid levels, and improved MCI and FAS scores. Patient also increased pragmatic capacities in social conversation and procedural memory. These findings align with results from prior clinical trials on INI and suggest that treatment can slow neurodegenerative disease progression in early MCI patients.
本报告研究了对一名胰岛素抵抗型早期轻度认知障碍(MCI)患者进行的鼻内胰岛素延长治疗[INI]。患者[EJ]在治疗开始时还存在内侧颞叶(MTL)损伤、短期记忆力差、明显易怒以及社交和语言退缩的情况。与基线相比,九个月的INI治疗增加了灰质体积,降低了β-淀粉样蛋白水平,并改善了MCI和FAS评分。患者在社交对话和程序记忆方面的语用能力也有所提高。这些发现与之前关于INI的临床试验结果一致,并表明该治疗可以减缓早期MCI患者神经退行性疾病的进展。
