Increasing evidence suggests that the sleep pathology associated with neurodegenerative diseases can in turn exacerbate both the cognitive deficits and underlying pathobiology of these conditions. Treating sleep may therefore bear significant, even disease-modifying, potential for these conditions, but how best and when to do so remains undetermined. Huntingtons Disease (HD), by virtue of being an autosomal-dominant neurodegenerative disease presenting in mid-life, presents a key model condition through which to advance this field. To date, however, there has been no clinical longitudinal study of sleep abnormalities in HD, and no robust interrogation of their association with disease onset, cognitive deficits and markers of disease activity. Here we present the first such study. HD gene carriers (n=28) and age- and sex-matched controls (n=21) were studied at baseline and 10- and 12-year follow up. All HD gene carriers were premanifest at baseline, and were stratified at follow up into prodromal/manifest and premanifest groups. Sleep abnormalities were assessed through two-night inpatient polysomnography (PSG) and two-week domiciliary actigraphy, and their association was explored against i)validated cognitive and affective outcomes (Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Trail A/B task, Symbol Digit Modalities Task [SDMT], Hopkins Verbal Learning Task [HVLT], Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale [MADRS]) and ii)serum neurofilament-light (NfL) levels. Statistical analysis incorporated cross-sectional ANCOVA, longitudinal repeated measures linear models and regressions adjusted for multiple confounders including disease stage. 15 HD gene carriers phenoconverted to prodromal/early manifest HD by study completion. At follow-up, these gene carriers showed more frequent sleep stage changes (p=<0.001,partial eta squared=0.62) and higher levels of sleep maintenance insomnia (p=0.002,partial eta squared=0.52). The latter finding was corroborated by nocturnal motor activity patterns on follow-up actigraphy (p=0.004,partial eta squared=0.32). Greater sleep maintenance insomnia was associated with greater cognitive deficits (Trail A p=<0.001,R squared=0.78;SDMT p=0.008,R squared=0.63;Trail B p=0.013,R squared=0.60) and higher levels of NfL (p=0.015,R squared=0.39). Longitudinal modelling suggested that sleep stage instability accrues from the early premanifest phase, whereas sleep maintenance insomnia emerges closer to phenoconversion. Baseline sleep stage instability was able to discriminate those who phenoconverted within the study period from those who remained premanifest (area under curve=0.81,p=0.024). These results demonstrate that the key sleep abnormalities of premanifest/early HD are sleep stage instability and sleep maintenance insomnia, and suggest that the former bears value in predicting disease onset, while the latter is associated with greater disease activity and cognitive deficits.

越来越多的证据表明,与神经退行性疾病相关的睡眠病理学反过来又会加剧这些疾病的认知缺陷和潜在病理生物学。因此,治疗睡眠可能会对这些疾病产生重大影响,甚至改变病情,但如何最好地治疗以及何时治疗仍未确定。亨廷顿斯病(Huntingtons Disease,HD)是一种常染色体显性遗传的神经退行性疾病,多发于中年时期,是推动这一领域发展的关键模型条件。然而,迄今为止,还没有对 HD 患者的睡眠异常进行过临床纵向研究,也没有对睡眠异常与疾病发病、认知障碍和疾病活动性标志物之间的关系进行过深入探讨。在此,我们介绍第一项此类研究。我们对 HD 基因携带者(28 人)以及年龄和性别匹配的对照组(21 人)进行了基线研究以及 10 年和 12 年的随访研究。所有 HD 基因携带者在基线时都是发病前状态,在随访时被分为前驱/发病组和发病前组。睡眠异常通过两晚住院多导睡眠图(PSG)和两周居家动态睡眠图进行评估,并探讨了睡眠异常与 i) 有效认知和情感结果(蒙特利尔认知评估、追踪 A/B 任务、符号数字模式任务 [SDMT]、霍普金斯言语学习任务 [HVLT]、蒙哥马利-阿斯伯格抑郁量表 [MADRS])和 ii) 血清神经丝光 (NfL) 水平之间的关联。统计分析包括横断面方差分析、纵向重复测量线性模型以及根据疾病分期等多种混杂因素进行调整的回归分析。研究结束时,15 名 HD 基因携带者表观转化为前驱型/早期表现型 HD。在随访中,这些基因携带者表现出更频繁的睡眠阶段变化(p=<0.001,部分等方差=0.62)和更高程度的睡眠维持性失眠(p=0.002,部分等方差=0.52)。后一发现在随访的动觉测量仪(p=0.004,partial eta squared=0.32)夜间运动活动模式中得到了证实。更严重的睡眠维持性失眠与更严重的认知缺陷有关(径A p=<0.001,R平方=0.78;SDMT p=0.008,R平方=0.63;径B p=0.013,R平方=0.60),与更高的NfL水平有关(p=0.015,R平方=0.39)。纵向建模表明,睡眠阶段不稳定性产生于显现前的早期阶段,而睡眠维持性失眠则出现于接近表型转换的阶段。基线睡眠阶段不稳定性能够区分在研究期间表型转换的患者和仍处于表型转换前的患者(曲线下面积=0.81,p=0.024)。这些结果表明,发病前/早期 HD 的主要睡眠异常是睡眠阶段不稳定和睡眠维持性失眠,并表明前者具有预测疾病发病的价值,而后者则与疾病活动和认知障碍的增加有关。对这种关联的因果关系进行干预研究不仅能使 HD 患者受益,还有助于为更广泛的睡眠-神经变性领域提供基本的概念验证结果。

Background: Aggressive lipid-lowering therapy is recommended for patients with ischemic stroke; however, lipid paradox has been reported in several clinical studies. The mechanism of lipid paradox remains uncertain, and nutrition maybe one explanation. In this prospective cohort study, we explored the associations between baseline remnant cholesterol (RC) concentrations and clinical outcomes in patients with ischemic stroke, stratified by nutritional status. Materials and Methods: A total of 5257 patients with ischemic stroke were recruited for analysis. The Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score was utilized to investigate the risk of malnutrition. Individuals were classified into 4 groups based on their CONUT score. Poor outcomes and all-cause mortality were compared among patients with varied nutritional status and RC levels.Results: Patients with moderate-severe malnutrition had the highest incidences of in-hospital complications, including pulmonary infection, renal dysfunction, and hemorrhagic transformation, and the highest rates of poor outcomes (61.3%, P?0.001) and all-cause mortality (32.8%, P?0.001) during the 3-month follow-up period. Baseline higher RC level was an independent protective factor of adverse clinical outcomes for patients with any degree of malnutrition, which was not observed in patients without malnutrition. In addition, compared with the moderate-severe malnourished with RC ?0.471 mmol/L, the adjusted ORs for poor outcomes and all-cause mortality were 0.805 (0.450?1.438) and 0.898 (0.502-1.607) for participants with 0.471-0.632 mmol/L, 0.259 (0.095-0.704) and 0.222 (0.061-0.810) for 0.633-0.868 mmol/L, and 0.160 (0.037?0.689) and 0.202 (0.042-0.967) for ? 0.869 mmol/L, prospectively. Conclusion: Lipid paradox was only observed in the malnourished patients with ischemic stroke. Strict lipid reduction therapy is still recommended for patients with ischemic stroke and good nutritional status. However, when treating patients at any risk of malnutrition, the improvement of nutritional status may be more crucial than aggressive lipid control.
背景:建议缺血性脑卒中患者接受积极的降脂治疗,但在多项临床研究中均有血脂悖论的报道。血脂悖论的机制仍不确定,营养可能是其中一种解释。在这项前瞻性队列研究中,我们探讨了缺血性脑卒中患者基线残余胆固醇(RC)浓度与临床预后之间的关系,并根据营养状况进行了分层。材料与方法:共招募了 5257 名缺血性中风患者进行分析。利用营养状况控制(CONUT)评分来调查营养不良的风险。根据 CONUT 评分将患者分为 4 组。比较了不同营养状况和 RC 水平患者的不良预后和全因死亡率:结果:中度-重度营养不良患者的院内并发症发生率最高,包括肺部感染、肾功能障碍和出血性转化,3 个月随访期间的不良预后率(61.3%,P?0.001)和全因死亡率(32.8%,P?0.001)也最高。对于任何程度的营养不良患者来说,基线较高的RC水平都是不良临床结局的一个独立保护因素,而在没有营养不良的患者中却没有观察到这一点。此外,与RC为0.471 mmol/L的中重度营养不良患者相比,不良预后和全因死亡率的调整OR值分别为0.805 (0.450?1.438) 和0.898 (0. 502-1.607) 。502-1.607),0.633-0.868 mmol/L为0.259 (0.095-0.704)和0.222 (0.061-0.810),?0.869毫摩尔/升为 0.160(0.037?结论只有营养不良的缺血性脑卒中患者才会出现血脂悖论。对于营养状况良好的缺血性脑卒中患者,仍建议进行严格的降脂治疗。然而,在治疗有营养不良风险的患者时,改善营养状况可能比积极控制血脂更为重要。

Background: Cognitive deficits have been reported in Parkinson's Disease psychosis (PDP). Reduced dopamine transporter (DAT) binding ratio has also been associated with PDP. However, it remains unclear whether DAT striatal binding ratio (SBR) may contribute to worsening cognitive performance in PDP. Here, we examined this using data from the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative study.Methods: We analysed data from 408 PD patients, from baseline to year 4 follow up, and classified patients into PD with (PDP) and without psychosis (PDnP). DAT SBR was available from DaTSCAN imaging with 123 I-FP-CIT-SPECT. We examined all cognitive measures assessed at each time point, socio-demographics, neuropsychiatric and PD-specific symptoms were entered as covariates of interest. Results: PDP patients had lower DAT SBR compared to PDnP patients (b=-0.092, p=0.035) which remained significant after controlling for age, sex, and ethnicity. PDP patients also reported worse trajectory of task performance on MoCA (b=-0.238, p=0.001) and Symbol Digit Modality (b=-0.534, p=0.016) across four years compared to PDnP patients. Worsening of MoCA scores in PDP was independent of DAT SBR decline (interaction group * study years, b=-0.284, p=0.016; three-way interaction group*study years*DAT SBR, b=0.127, p=0.225). However, declining performance in Symbol Digit Modality was significantly associated with the decline in DAT SBR (three-way interaction group*study years*DAT SBR, b=0.683, p=0.028).Conclusion: Overall, longitudinal decline in striatal presynaptic dopamine function may underlie the greater longitudinal decline in performance in the symbol digit modality task that engages processing speed, associative learning and working memory in PD psychosis, whilst declining performance on MoCA seems unrelated to it. Whether striatal presynaptic dopamine changes explain accelerated longitudinal decline in other cognitive domains in people with PDP remains to be tested.
背景:帕金森病精神病(PDP)中有认知缺陷的报道。多巴胺转运体(DAT)结合率降低也与帕金森病有关。然而,DAT纹状体结合率(SBR)是否会导致帕金森病患者认知能力的恶化,目前仍不清楚。在此,我们利用帕金森病进展标志物倡议研究的数据对此进行了研究:我们分析了 408 名帕金森病患者从基线到第 4 年随访期间的数据,并将患者分为帕金森病伴精神病(PDP)和不伴精神病(PDnP)两类。DAT SBR可通过123 I-FP-CIT-SPECT的DaTSCAN成像获得。我们检查了在每个时间点评估的所有认知指标,并将社会人口统计学、神经精神疾病和帕金森病特异性症状作为相关协变量进行了输入。结果与帕金森综合症患者相比,帕金森综合症患者的 DAT SBR 更低(b=-0.092,p=0.035),在控制了年龄、性别和种族因素后,这一结果仍然显著。与 PDnP 患者相比,PDP 患者四年来在 MoCA(b=-0.238,p=0.001)和符号数字模型(b=-0.534,p=0.016)方面的任务表现轨迹也较差。PDP患者MoCA评分的恶化与DAT SBR的下降无关(交互作用组*研究年限,b=-0.284,p=0.016;三方交互作用组*研究年限*DAT SBR,b=0.127,p=0.225)。然而,符号数字模型成绩的下降与DAT SBR的下降显著相关(三向交互组*学习年限*DAT SBR,b=0.683,p=0.028):总之,纹状体突触前多巴胺功能的纵向下降可能是导致PD精神病患者在涉及处理速度、联想学习和工作记忆的符号数字模态任务中成绩纵向下降幅度较大的原因,而MoCA成绩的下降似乎与此无关。纹状体突触前多巴胺的变化是否能解释帕金森病患者在其他认知领域加速纵向衰退的原因还有待检验。

The diagnostic utility of blood glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in sport-related concussion (SRC) is unclear. This study measured serum GFAP at either 16-24 hours (h), 24-32h, or 36-52h post-SRC in 156 Australian football players and compared levels with 98 control players without SRC. Median GFAP levels were higher in SRC cases at 16-24h (124.7 pg/mL; p<0.001) and 24-32h (96.2 pg/mL; p<0.001) compared to controls (66.0 pg/mL), but not at 36-52h (62.8 pg/mL). GFAP had an area under the curve of 0.83 at 16-24h and 0.72 at 24-32h. Serum GFAP at 16-24h can be a useful aid in SRC diagnosis.

Poor sleep is implicated in the development of Alzheimers disease (AD) pathology and cognitive impairment. The glymphatic system has been proposed as a link between sleep disruption and AD, and in animal models glymphatic impairment is sufficient to drive the development of AD pathology. It remains unknown whether the glymphatic system clears amyloid beta (Ab) and tau from the brain in humans. In a multi-site randomized crossover clinical trial (N=39), participants underwent overnight in-laboratory conditions of normal sleep and sleep deprivation following instrumentation that included a novel device to measure brain parenchymal resistance to glymphatic flow (RP) by transcranial multifrequency impedance spectroscopy and sleep electroencephalography (EEG). This study directly tested the hypothesis that sleep-active glymphatic clearance increases morning plasma AD biomarker levels. The primary outcomes were the change in plasma levels of AD biomarkers (Ab40, Ab42, np-tau181, np-tau217 and p-tau181) from evening to morning predicted by RP, sleep EEG features, and heart rate. We found that changes in RP, heart rate and EEG delta power predicted changes in Ab42 (p<0.001), np-tau181 (p=0.002), np-tau217 (p<0.001) and p-tau181 (p<0.001). The predicted changes replicated those from a multicompartment model based on published data on Ab; and tau efflux from brain to plasma. Our findings show that elements of sleep-active physiology, in particular decreased brain parenchymal resistance, facilitates the clearance of AD biomarkers to plasma, supporting a role for glymphatic clearance in these processes, and suggesting the enhancement of glymphatic function as a therapeutic target to reduce the development and progression of AD pathology in at-risk populations.
睡眠不足与阿尔茨海默病(AD)的病理发展和认知障碍有关。有人提出,甘油系统是睡眠中断与阿兹海默病之间的联系,在动物模型中,甘油系统受损足以导致阿兹海默病的病理发展。目前还不清楚人的肾上腺系统是否能清除大脑中的β淀粉样蛋白(Ab)和tau。在一项多地点随机交叉临床试验(N=39)中,参与者在实验室内接受了一夜的正常睡眠和睡眠剥夺,并使用了包括新型设备在内的仪器,通过经颅多频阻抗谱和睡眠脑电图(EEG)测量大脑实质对甘液流的阻力(RP)。这项研究直接测试了睡眠活动性甘油清除会增加早晨血浆中注意力缺失症生物标志物水平的假设。主要结果是根据RP、睡眠脑电图特征和心率预测从傍晚到清晨AD生物标志物(Ab40、Ab42、np-tau181、np-tau217和p-tau181)血浆水平的变化。我们发现,RP、心率和 EEG delta 功率的变化可预测 Ab42(p<0.001)、np-tau181(p=0.002)、np-tau217(p<0.001)和 p-tau181 (p<0.001)的变化。预测的变化与基于已发表的 Ab 和 tau 从大脑到血浆的外流数据的多室模型所预测的变化相同。我们的研究结果表明,睡眠活跃的生理要素,特别是脑实质阻力的降低,促进了AD生物标志物向血浆的清除,支持了血糖清除在这些过程中的作用,并建议将增强血糖功能作为治疗目标,以减少高危人群中AD病理的发展和恶化。

The RNAse III DICER is essential for miRNA biogenesis. DICER activity is downregulated in sporadic and genetic forms of ALS. Accordingly, hundreds of miRNAs are broadly downregulated, and their mRNA targets are de-repressed. Enoxacin is a fluoroquinolone, which increases DICER activity and miRNA biogenesis. In an investigator-initiated, first-in-patient phase Ib/IIa study we tested Enoxacin safety and tolerability in patients with ALS and explored pharmacodynamic biomarkers for Enoxacin target engagement. Six patients with sporadic ALS were dosed with oral Enoxacin twice daily for 30 days. Patients did not experience any serious adverse events and completed the dosing period. Molecular analysis of cell-free miRNA in plasma and CSF revealed a global increase in plasma and CSF miRNA levels in all post-treatment time points, compared to baseline. Therefore, our study demonstrates that Enoxacin is tolerable and provides important evidence for in-patient target engagement. These results encourage testing Enoxacin efficacy in larger trials.
RNAse III DICER 对 miRNA 的生物发生至关重要。在渐冻症的散发性和遗传性形式中,DICER 活性下调。因此,数百种 miRNA 被广泛下调,其 mRNA 靶标被抑制。依诺沙星是一种氟喹诺酮类药物,可提高 DICER 的活性和 miRNA 的生物生成。在一项由研究者发起的首例患者 Ib/IIa 期研究中,我们测试了依诺沙星在 ALS 患者中的安全性和耐受性,并探索了依诺沙星靶点参与的药效学生物标志物。六名散发性肌萎缩性脊髓侧索硬化症患者每天口服两次依诺沙星,持续30天。患者未出现任何严重不良反应,并完成了服药期。对血浆和脑脊液中游离的细胞 miRNA 进行的分子分析表明,与基线相比,治疗后所有时间点的血浆和脑脊液 miRNA 水平均有全面提高。因此,我们的研究表明依诺沙星是可耐受的,并为住院患者的目标参与提供了重要证据。这些结果鼓励在更大规模的试验中测试依诺沙星的疗效。

Thymic malignancies are rare cancer tumours of the thymus arising from thymic epithelial cells and arecharacterized by a highly diversified clinical phenotype, substantial histologic and morphologicheterogeneity, and frequent presentations of associated paraneoplastic autoimmune syndromes.Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is the most prevalent of such autoimmune conditions, presenting in roughly halfof thymoma patients, and is associated with substantial hyperactivation of T lymphocytes, highlydysregulated negative and positive T lymphocyte selection, leading to a systemic imbalance of theimmune system, and consequently aiding and abetting the manifestation of severe opportunistic infectionsand multiple autoimmune comorbidities such as Pure Red Cell Aplasia and Good's syndrome. Althoughthe clinical, immunological and cytoarchitectural changes associated with thymomas have beenincreasingly elucidated in the contemporary literature, very few studies have interrogated the direct role oftumour staging and histological gradings on the occurrence and recurrence of infections and multipleautoimmune comorbidities. The current study aimed to interrogate the role of WHO thymomaclassification criteria and Masaoka staging on the recurrence of severe opportunistic infections and thepresentation of multiple paraneoplastic autoimmune syndromes post-thymectomy. The current studycollected clinical and immunological data from 109 patients suffering from both MG and a pathologicallyproven thymoma. Statistical analysis of the collected data yielded significant associations betweendifferent stages of Masaoka grading and WHO classification on the number of autoimmune comorbidityand presence of severe recurrent infections, leading to the conclusion that early histological gradings andtumour infiltration patterns play a significant role in predicting future immunological behaviour, clinicaloutcomes, and susceptibility to recurrent infections. Future studies must further investigate the role ofautoimmunity, its associated antibody expression profiles and thymic tissue pathology. Furthermore,novel therapeutics must further explore the role of emergent immunotherapeutics, such as adoptive celltherapies, as a viable patient-stratified treatment strategy for thymic malignancies.
胸腺恶性肿瘤是由胸腺上皮细胞引起的罕见的胸腺肿瘤,具有临床表型高度多样化、组织学和形态学异质性强以及经常出现相关的副肿瘤性自身免疫综合征等特点。胸腺癌肌萎缩症(MG)是此类自身免疫疾病中最常见的一种,约有一半的胸腺癌患者会出现这种症状,它与 T 淋巴细胞的过度活化、T 淋巴细胞阴性和阳性选择的高度失调有关,导致免疫系统的全身性失衡,从而助长了严重的机会性感染和多种自身免疫合并症(如纯红细胞增生症和古德综合征)的出现。尽管与胸腺瘤相关的临床、免疫学和细胞结构变化已在当代文献中得到越来越多的阐明,但很少有研究探讨肿瘤分期和组织学分级对感染和多种自身免疫合并症的发生和复发的直接作用。本研究旨在探讨世界卫生组织胸腺分类标准和正冈分期对胸腺切除术后严重机会性感染复发和多种副肿瘤自身免疫综合征的影响。本研究收集了109例同时患有MG和病理证实的胸腺瘤患者的临床和免疫学数据。对收集到的数据进行统计分析后发现,不同阶段的正冈分级和世卫组织分类与自身免疫合并症的数量和是否存在严重的复发性感染有显著关联,从而得出结论:早期组织学分级和肿瘤浸润模式在预测未来的免疫学行为、临床结果和复发性感染的易感性方面起着重要作用。未来的研究必须进一步探讨自身免疫、相关抗体表达谱和胸腺组织病理学的作用。此外,新型疗法必须进一步探索新兴免疫疗法的作用,如采用性细胞疗法,作为胸腺恶性肿瘤的一种可行的患者分层治疗策略。

The health care system is insufficiently capitalizing on the benefits of physical exercise in Americas aging population. Few practical tools exist to help clinicians incorporate physical activity into their clinical care, while significant barriers limit older adults from initiating and maintaining exercise programs. The Lifestyle Empowerment for Alzheimers Prevention (LEAP! Rx) Program will use two forms of participant enrollment: direct physician referrals through electronic health records (EHR) and self-referrals to test the efficacy of delivering a community-based exercise and healthy lifestyle program to older adults. After referral into the program, participants will be randomized to receive the LEAP! Rx Program or be placed on a standard of care waitlist. The LEAP! Rx program will consist of a personalized and structured exercise program combined with lifestyle education and mobile-health (m-Health) monitoring. This includes a 12-week Empowerment phase with intensive coaching and supervised exercise training, followed by a 40-week Lifestyle phase with intermittent supervised exercise and coaching. Lifestyle education includes monthly, evidence-based classes on optimal aging. This study will examine 1) the efficacy of the LEAP!Rx Program on increasing and sustaining cardiorespiratory fitness, 2) test the effect of the LEAP! Rx Program on secondary outcome measures of chronic disease risk factors, including insulin resistance, body composition, and lipids, and 3) assess the implementation and scalability of the LEAP!Rx Program for clinicians and patients and package best practices in implementation manuals. If successful, this studys findings could potentially revolutionize future healthcare practices, providing a new and practical approach to aging and chronic disease prevention.
医疗保健系统没有充分利用体育锻炼对美洲老龄人口的益处。几乎没有实用的工具可以帮助临床医生将体育锻炼纳入其临床护理中,而巨大的障碍又限制了老年人启动和维持锻炼计划。预防阿尔茨海默氏症的生活方式赋权(LEAP! Rx)计划将采用两种形式招募参与者:医生通过电子健康记录(EHR)直接转介和自我转介,以测试为老年人提供基于社区的运动和健康生活方式计划的效果。在被转介到该计划后,参与者将被随机分配接受 LEAP!Rx 计划或列入标准护理候补名单。LEAP!Rx 计划将包括个性化、结构化的锻炼计划,并结合生活方式教育和移动健康(m-Health)监测。该计划包括为期 12 周的 "增强能力 "阶段(Empowerment),其中包括强化辅导和指导性运动训练;随后是为期 40 周的 "生活方式 "阶段(Lifestyle),其中包括间歇性指导性运动和辅导。生活方式教育包括每月一次的最佳老龄化循证课程。本研究将考察 1) LEAP!Rx计划对慢性疾病风险因素(包括胰岛素抵抗、身体成分和血脂)的次要结果测量的影响,以及3)评估LEAP!Rx计划对临床医生和患者的实施和可扩展性,并将最佳实践纳入实施手册。如果研究成功,这项研究成果将有可能彻底改变未来的医疗保健实践,为老龄化和慢性病预防提供一种新的实用方法。

Cortical atrophy in behavioral variant frontotemporal degeneration (bvFTD) exhibits spatial heterogeneity across genetic subgroups, potentially driven by distinct biological mechanisms. Using an integrative imaging-transcriptomics approach, we identified disparate and shared transcriptomic signatures associated with cortical thickness in C9orf72, GRN or MAPT-related bvFTD. Genes associated with cortical thinning in GRN-bvFTD were implicated in neurotransmission, further supported by mapping synaptic density maps to cortical thickness maps. Previously identified genes linked to TDP-43 positive neurons were significantly overlapped with genes associated with C9orf72-bvFTD and GRN-bvFTD, but not MAPT-bvFTD providing specificity for our associations. C9orf72-bvFTD and GRN-bvFTD shared genes displaying consistent directionality of correlations with cortical thickness, while MAPT-bvFTD displayed more pronounced differences in transcriptomic signatures with opposing directionality. Overall, we identified disparate and shared genes tied to regional vulnerability with increased biological interpretation including overlap with synaptic density maps and pathologically-specific gene expression, illuminating intricate molecular underpinnings contributing to heterogeneities in bvFTD.
行为变异性额颞叶变性(bvFTD)的皮质萎缩在不同基因亚群中表现出空间异质性,这可能是由不同的生物学机制驱动的。利用成像-转录组学整合方法,我们确定了与 C9orf72、GRN 或 MAPT 相关 bvFTD 中皮质厚度相关的不同和共享转录组特征。在 GRN-bvFTD 中,与皮质变薄相关的基因与神经传递有关,突触密度图谱与皮质厚度图谱的映射进一步证实了这一点。之前发现的与 TDP-43 阳性神经元相关的基因与 C9orf72-bvFTD 和 GRN-bvFTD 的相关基因有明显重叠,但与 MAPT-bvFTD 的相关基因没有重叠,这为我们的关联提供了特异性。C9orf72-bvFTD 和 GRN-bvFTD 的共享基因与皮层厚度的相关性显示出一致的方向性,而 MAPT-bvFTD 的转录组特征显示出更明显的差异,具有相反的方向性。总之,我们发现了与区域脆弱性相关的不同基因和共享基因,并增加了生物学解释,包括与突触密度图谱和病理特异性基因表达的重叠,从而揭示了导致 bvFTD 异质性的复杂分子基础。

Estimating the epileptogenic zone network (EZN) is an important part of the diagnosis of drug-resistant focal epilepsy and plays a pivotal role in treatment and intervention. Virtual brain twins based on personalized whole brain modeling provides a formal method for personalized diagnosis by integrating patient-specific brain topography with structural connectivity from anatomical neuroimaging such as MRI and dynamic activity from functional recordings such as EEG and stereo-EEG (SEEG). Seizures demonstrate rich spatial and temporal features in functional recordings, which can be exploited to estimate the EZN. Stimulation-induced seizures can provide important and complementary information. In our modeling process, we consider invasive SEEG stimulation as the most practical current approach, and temporal interference (TI) stimulation as a potential future approach for non-invasive diagnosis and treatment. This paper offers a virtual brain twin framework for EZN diagnosis based on stimulation-induced seizures. This framework estimates the EZN and validated the results on synthetic data with ground-truth. It provides an important methodological and conceptual basis for a series of ongoing scientific studies and clinical usage, which are specified in this paper. This framework also provides the necessary step to go from invasive to non-invasive diagnosis and treatment of drug-resistant focal epilepsy.
估计致痫区网络(EZN)是诊断耐药性局灶性癫痫的重要部分,在治疗和干预中起着关键作用。基于个性化全脑建模的虚拟大脑双胞胎提供了一种正式的个性化诊断方法,它将患者特定的大脑地形图与核磁共振成像(MRI)等解剖神经影像的结构连接以及脑电图(EEG)和立体脑电图(SEEG)等功能记录的动态活动整合在一起。癫痫发作在功能记录中显示出丰富的空间和时间特征,可用于估算 EZN。刺激诱发的癫痫发作可提供重要的补充信息。在建模过程中,我们将有创 SEEG 刺激视为当前最实用的方法,而将颞叶干扰(TI)刺激视为未来无创诊断和治疗的潜在方法。本文提供了一个基于刺激诱发癫痫发作的 EZN 诊断虚拟大脑孪生框架。该框架估算了 EZN,并在合成数据上验证了结果的真实性。它为一系列正在进行的科学研究和临床应用提供了重要的方法论和概念基础,本文将对此进行具体阐述。该框架还为耐药性局灶性癫痫的诊断和治疗提供了从有创到无创的必要步骤。

This paper offers a virtual brain twin framework for EZN diagnosis based on stimulation-induced seizures. This framework estimates the EZN and validated the results on synthetic data with ground-truth. It provides an important methodological and conceptual basis for a series of ongoing scientific studies and clinical usage, which are specified in this paper. This framework also provides the necessary step to go from invasive to non-invasive diagnosis and treatment of drug-resistant focal epilepsy.","PeriodicalId":501367,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv - Neurology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141779250","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}
