<h3>Background</h3>The pathological hallmarks of multiple system atrophy and Parkinson's disease are, respectively, misfolded-α-synuclein-laden glial cytoplasmic inclusions and Lewy bodies. CSF-soluble misfolded α-synuclein aggregates (seeds) are readily detected in people with Parkinson's disease by α-synuclein seed amplification assay (synSAA), but identification of seeds associated with multiple system atrophy for diagnostic purposes has proven elusive. We aimed to assess whether a novel synSAA could reliably distinguish seeds from Lewy bodies and glial cytoplasmic inclusions.<h3>Methods</h3>In this multicentre cohort study, a novel synSAA that multiplies and detects seeds by fluorescence was used to analyse masked CSF and brain samples from participants with either clinically diagnosed or pathology-confirmed multiple system atrophy, Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, isolated rapid eye movement sleep behaviour disorder (IRBD), disorders that were not synucleinopathies, or healthy controls. Participants were from eight available cohorts from seven medical centres in four countries: New York Brain Bank, New York, USA (NYBB); University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA (UPENN); Paracelsus-Elena-Klinik, Kassel, Germany (DeNoPa and KAMSA); Hospital Clinic Barcelona, Spain (BARMSA); Universität Tübingen, Tübingen, Germany (EKUT); Göteborgs Universitet, Göteborgs, Sweden (UGOT); and Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden (KIMSA). Clinical cohorts were classified for expected diagnostic accuracy as either research (longitudinal follow-up visits) or real-life (single visit). Sensitivity and specificity were estimated according to pathological (gold standard) and clinical (reference standard) diagnoses.<h3>Findings</h3>In 23 brain samples (from the NYBB cohort), those containing Lewy bodies were synSAA-positive and produced high fluorescence amplification patterns (defined as type 1); those containing glial cytoplasmic inclusions were synSAA-positive and produced intermediate fluorescence (defined as type 2); and those without α-synuclein pathology produced below-threshold fluorescence and were synSAA-negative. In 21 pathology-confirmed CSF samples (from the UPENN cohort), those with Lewy bodies were synSAA-positive type 1; those with glial cytoplasmic inclusions were synSAA-positive type 2; and those with four-repeat tauopathy were synSAA-negative. In the DeNoPa research cohort (which had no samples from people with multiple system atrophy), the novel synSAA had sensitivities of 95% (95% CI 88–99) for 80 participants with Parkinson's disease and 95% (76–100) for 21 participants with IRBD, and a specificity of 95% (86–99) for 60 healthy controls. Overall (combining BARMSA, EKUT, KAMSA, UGOT, and KIMSA cohorts that were enriched for cases of multiple system atrophy), the novel synSAA had 87% sensitivity for multiple system atrophy (95% CI 80–93) and specificity for type 2 seeds was 77% (67–85).

背景多系统萎缩症和帕金森病的病理特征分别是含有错误折叠的α-突触核蛋白的胶质细胞质包涵体和路易体。通过α-突触核蛋白种子扩增试验(synSAA)可以很容易地在帕金森病患者体内检测到 CSF 溶性错误折叠的α-突触核蛋白聚集体(种子),但要鉴定出与多系统萎缩相关的种子以用于诊断却很难。我们的目的是评估新型突触核蛋白种子扩增试验能否可靠地将种子与路易体和胶质细胞质包涵体区分开来。方法在这项多中心队列研究中,我们使用了一种能通过荧光增殖和检测种子的新型同步分析仪来分析来自临床诊断或病理确诊的多系统萎缩、帕金森病、路易体痴呆、孤立性眼球快速运动睡眠行为障碍(IRBD)、非突触核蛋白病的患者或健康对照组的遮蔽脑脊液和脑样本。参与者来自四个国家七个医疗中心的八个队列:美国纽约的纽约脑库(NYBB)、美国宾夕法尼亚州费城的宾夕法尼亚大学(UPENN)、德国卡塞尔的Paracelsus-Elena-Klinik(DeNoPa和KAMSA)、西班牙巴塞罗那医院诊所(BARMSA)、德国图宾根的图宾根大学(EKUT)、瑞典哥德堡大学(UGOT)和瑞典斯德哥尔摩的卡罗林斯卡医学院(KIMSA)。临床队列根据预期诊断准确性分为研究队列(纵向随访)和实际队列(单次随访)。根据病理诊断(金标准)和临床诊断(参考标准)估算灵敏度和特异性。研究结果在23份脑样本(来自NYBB队列)中,含有路易体的样本呈synSAA阳性,并产生高荧光扩增模式(定义为1型);含有胶质细胞质包涵体的样本呈synSAA阳性,并产生中等荧光(定义为2型);无α-突触核蛋白病理变化的样本产生低于阈值的荧光,呈synSAA阴性。在21份病理确诊的脑脊液样本(来自UPENN队列)中,有路易体的样本为synSAA阳性1型;有胶质细胞质包涵体的样本为synSAA阳性2型;有四重复tauopathy的样本为synSAA阴性。在DeNoPa研究队列(没有多系统萎缩患者样本)中,新型synSAA对80名帕金森病患者和21名IRBD患者的灵敏度分别为95%(95% CI 88-99)和95%(76-100),对60名健康对照者的特异性为95%(86-99)。总体而言(结合 BARMSA、EKUT、KAMSA、UGOT 和 KIMSA 队列,这些队列富含多系统萎缩病例),新型 synSAA 对多系统萎缩的灵敏度为 87%(95% CI 80-93),对 2 型种子的特异性为 77%(67-85)。对于研究队列(BARMSA 和 EKUT)中患有多系统萎缩的参与者,新型 synSAA 的灵敏度为 84%(95% CI 71-92),对 2 型种子的特异性为 87%(74-95),而现实队列(KAMSA、KIMSA 和 UGOT)中的病例灵敏度为 91%(95% CI 80-97),但对 2 型种子的特异性下降至 68%(53-81)。释义新型 synSAA 产生的扩增模式可识别潜在的α-突触核蛋白病理变化,其显示的两种荧光水平与突触核蛋白病的不同病理特征相对应。synSAA 可用于临床试验中突触核蛋白病的早期诊断,并有可能用于临床,但还需要更多的正式验证工作。

<h3>Background</h3>No treatment is available to prevent brain oedema, which can occur after a large hemispheric infarction. Glibenclamide has previously been shown to improve functional outcome and reduce neurological or oedema-related death in patients younger than 70 years who were at risk of brain oedema after an acute ischaemic stroke. We aimed to assess whether intravenous glibenclamide could improve functional outcome at 90 days in patients with large hemispheric infarction.<h3>Methods</h3>CHARM was a phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomised trial conducted across 143 acute stroke centres in 21 countries. We included patients aged 18–85 years with a large stroke, defined either by an Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) of 1–5 or by an ischaemic core lesion volume of 80–300 mL on CT perfusion or MRI diffusion-weighted imaging. Patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either intravenous glibenclamide (8·6 mg over 72 h) or placebo. The study drug was started within 10 h of stroke onset. The primary efficacy outcome was the shift in the distribution of scores on the modified Rankin Scale at day 90, as a measure of functional outcome. The primary efficacy outcome was analysed in a modified intention-to-treat population, which included all randomly assigned patients aged 18–70 years. The safety population comprised all randomly assigned patients who received a dose.

<h3>Background</h3>Adults with Down syndrome are at risk for Alzheimer's disease. Natural history cohort studies have characterised the progression of Alzheimer's disease biomarkers in people with Down syndrome, with a focus on amyloid β-PET and tau-PET. In this study, we aimed to leverage these well characterised imaging biomarkers in a large cohort of individuals with Down syndrome, to examine the timeline to symptomatic Alzheimer's disease based on estimated years since the detection on PET of amyloid β-positivity, referred to here as amyloid age, and in relation to tau burden as assessed by PET.<h3>Methods</h3>In this prospective, longitudinal, observational cohort study, data were collected at four university research sites in the UK and USA as part of the Alzheimer's Biomarker Consortium–Down Syndrome (ABC–DS) study. Eligible participants were aged 25 years or older with Down syndrome, had a mental age of at least 3 years (based on a standardised intelligence quotient test), and had trisomy 21 (full, mosaic, or translocation) confirmed through karyotyping. Participants were assessed twice between 2017 and 2022, with approximately 32 months between visits. Participants had amyloid-PET and tau-PET scans, and underwent cognitive assessment with the modified Cued Recall Test (mCRT) and the Down Syndrome Mental Status Examination (DSMSE) to assess cognitive functioning. Study partners completed the National Task Group-Early Detection Screen for Dementia (NTG-EDSD). Generalised linear models were used to assess the association between amyloid age (whereby 0 years equated to 18 centiloids) and mCRT, DSMSE, NTG-EDSD, and tau PET at baseline and the 32-month follow-up. Broken stick regression was used to identify the amyloid age that corresponded to decreases in cognitive performance and increases in tau PET after the onset of amyloid β positivity.<h3>Findings</h3>167 adults with Down syndrome, of whom 92 had longitudinal data, were included in our analyses. Generalised linear regressions showed significant quadratic associations between amyloid age and cognitive performance and cubic associations between amyloid age and tau, both at baseline and at the 32-month follow-up. Using broken stick regression models, differences in mCRT total scores were detected beginning 2·7 years (95% credible interval [CrI] 0·2 to 5·4; equating to 29·8 centiloids) after the onset of amyloid β positivity in cross-sectional models. Based on cross-sectional data, increases in tau deposition started a mean of 2·7–6·1 years (equating to 29·8–47·9 centiloids) after the onset of amyloid β positivity. Mild cognitive impairment was observed at a mean amyloid age of 7·4 years (SD 6·6; equating to 56·8 centiloids) and dementia was observed at a mean amyloid age of 12·7 years (5·6; equating to 97·4 centiloids).<h3>Interpretation</h3>There is a short timeline to initial cognitive decline and dementia from onset of amyloid β positivity and tau deposition in people with Down syndrome
背景唐氏综合征成人有罹患阿尔茨海默病的风险。自然史队列研究描述了唐氏综合征患者阿尔茨海默病生物标志物的进展,重点是淀粉样蛋白 β-PET 和 tau-PET。在这项研究中,我们的目标是在一个大型唐氏综合征患者队列中利用这些特征明确的成像生物标志物,根据 PET 检测到淀粉样β阳性后的估计年限(此处称为淀粉样年龄),并结合 PET 评估的 tau 负担,研究从出现症状到阿尔茨海默病的时间轴。方法在这项前瞻性、纵向、观察性队列研究中,作为阿尔茨海默氏症生物标志物联盟-唐氏综合征(ABC-DS)研究的一部分,在英国和美国的四所大学研究机构收集了数据。符合条件的参与者年龄在25岁或25岁以上,患有唐氏综合征,心智年龄至少为3岁(基于标准化智商测试),并通过核型检查确认患有21三体综合征(全合、镶嵌或易位)。参与者在 2017 年至 2022 年期间接受了两次评估,两次评估之间相隔约 32 个月。参与者接受了淀粉样蛋白-PET和tau-PET扫描,并通过改良诱导回忆测试(mCRT)和唐氏综合征精神状态检查(DSMSE)进行了认知评估,以评估认知功能。研究伙伴完成了国家工作组-痴呆症早期检测筛查(NTG-EDSD)。采用广义线性模型评估基线和32个月随访时淀粉样蛋白年龄(0岁相当于18 centiloids)与mCRT、DSMSE、NTG-EDS和tau PET之间的关系。我们使用断棒回归法来确定淀粉样β阳性出现后,认知能力下降和tau PET增加所对应的淀粉样年龄。广义线性回归结果显示,在基线和32个月的随访中,淀粉样蛋白年龄与认知能力之间存在明显的二次方关系,而淀粉样蛋白年龄与tau之间存在明显的三次方关系。使用断棒回归模型,在横断面模型中,淀粉样β阳性开始后2-7年(95%可信区间[CrI] 0-2至5-4;相当于29-8厘洛),mCRT总分出现差异。根据横断面数据,tau沉积的增加平均始于淀粉样β阳性出现后的2-7-6-1年(相当于29-8-47-9厘洛)。唐氏综合征患者从开始出现淀粉样β阳性和tau沉积到认知能力下降和痴呆的时间很短。这一新确立的基于淀粉样蛋白年龄(或等效厘泊值)的时间线对临床实践和阿尔茨海默病临床试验的设计非常重要,它避免了基于年代年龄的时间线的局限性。

Natural history cohort studies have characterised the progression of Alzheimer's disease biomarkers in people with Down syndrome, with a focus on amyloid β-PET and tau-PET. In this study, we aimed to leverage these well characterised imaging biomarkers in a large cohort of individuals with Down syndrome, to examine the timeline to symptomatic Alzheimer's disease based on estimated years since the detection on PET of amyloid β-positivity, referred to here as amyloid age, and in relation to tau burden as assessed by PET.<h3>Methods</h3>In this prospective, longitudinal, observational cohort study, data were collected at four university research sites in the UK and USA as part of the Alzheimer's Biomarker Consortium–Down Syndrome (ABC–DS) study. Eligible participants were aged 25 years or older with Down syndrome, had a mental age of at least 3 years (based on a standardised intelligence quotient test), and had trisomy 21 (full, mosaic, or translocation) confirmed through karyotyping. Participants were assessed twice between 2017 and 2022, with approximately 32 months between visits. Participants had amyloid-PET and tau-PET scans, and underwent cognitive assessment with the modified Cued Recall Test (mCRT) and the Down Syndrome Mental Status Examination (DSMSE) to assess cognitive functioning. Study partners completed the National Task Group-Early Detection Screen for Dementia (NTG-EDSD). Generalised linear models were used to assess the association between amyloid age (whereby 0 years equated to 18 centiloids) and mCRT, DSMSE, NTG-EDSD, and tau PET at baseline and the 32-month follow-up. Broken stick regression was used to identify the amyloid age that corresponded to decreases in cognitive performance and increases in tau PET after the onset of amyloid β positivity.<h3>Findings</h3>167 adults with Down syndrome, of whom 92 had longitudinal data, were included in our analyses. Generalised linear regressions showed significant quadratic associations between amyloid age and cognitive performance and cubic associations between amyloid age and tau, both at baseline and at the 32-month follow-up. Using broken stick regression models, differences in mCRT total scores were detected beginning 2·7 years (95% credible interval [CrI] 0·2 to 5·4; equating to 29·8 centiloids) after the onset of amyloid β positivity in cross-sectional models. Based on cross-sectional data, increases in tau deposition started a mean of 2·7–6·1 years (equating to 29·8–47·9 centiloids) after the onset of amyloid β positivity. Mild cognitive impairment was observed at a mean amyloid age of 7·4 years (SD 6·6; equating to 56·8 centiloids) and dementia was observed at a mean amyloid age of 12·7 years (5·6; equating to 97·4 centiloids).<h3>Interpretation</h3>There is a short timeline to initial cognitive decline and dementia from onset of amyloid β positivity and tau deposition in people with Down syndrome","PeriodicalId":22676,"journal":{"name":"The Lancet Neurology","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142678313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
