The levels of alpha 1-antichymotrypsin (ACT) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from 66 sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients and 54 normal controls were measured by enzyme immunoassay and compared. There was no correlation (r = 0.259, n = 54) between the ACT level and normal aging. The levels of ACT were significantly higher in the total AD group (p < 0.01) than in the normal control group. Dividing AD patients into early onset AD (n = 27) and late onset AD groups (n = 39), the mean level of CSF ACT in the late onset AD group was significantly higher than that in the normal control group (p < 0.001) and that in the early onset AD group (p < 0.01). Thus, the level of ACT in CSF is closely associated with late onset AD.
通过酶免疫测定法测量并比较了66例散发性阿尔茨海默病(AD)患者和54例正常对照者脑脊液(CSF)中α1 - 抗糜蛋白酶(ACT)的水平。ACT水平与正常衰老之间无相关性(r = 0.259,n = 54)。AD患者总组中ACT水平显著高于正常对照组(p < 0.01)。将AD患者分为早发型AD组(n = 27)和晚发型AD组(n = 39),晚发型AD组CSF中ACT的平均水平显著高于正常对照组(p < 0.001)和早发型AD组(p < 0.01)。因此,CSF中ACT水平与晚发型AD密切相关。
