Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The co-occurrence of amyloid-β pathology in Parkinson's disease (PD) is common; however, the role of amyloid-β deposition in motor prognosis remains elusive. This study aimed to investigate the association between striatal amyloid deposition, motor complications and motor prognosis in patients with PD. METHODS Ninety-six patients with PD who underwent 18F florbetaben (FBB) positron emission tomography were retrospectively assessed. The ratio of the striatum to global (STG) FBB uptake was obtained for each individual, and patients were allotted into low and high STG groups according to the median value. The effect of STG group on regional amyloid deposition, the occurrence of motor complications and longitudinal change in levodopa equivalent dose (LED) requirement were investigated after controlling for age, sex, LED and disease duration at FBB scan. RESULTS The high STG group was associated with lower cortical FBB uptake in the parietal, occipital and posterior cingulate cortices and higher striatal FBB uptake compared to the low STG group. Patients in the high STG group had a higher risk of developing wearing off and levodopa-induced dyskinesia than those in the low STG group, whereas the risk for freezing of gait was comparable between the two groups. The high STG group showed a more rapid increase in LED requirements over time than the low STG group. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that relatively high striatal amyloid deposition is associated with poor motor outcomes in patients with PD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dihydropyridines (DHPs) may have neuroprotective effects against Parkinson's disease (PD). OBJECTIVE This study investigated the effects of DHPs on nigrostriatal dopaminergic denervation and longitudinal motor and cognitive outcomes in PD. METHODS We classified 476 patients with drug-naive PD who had undergone dopamine transporter imaging into three groups. They were selected according to a prior diagnosis of hypertension and use of DHPs and were matched using propensity scores: patients without hypertension (HTN-; n = 50) and patients with hypertension treated without DHP (HTN+/DHP-; n = 50) or with DHP (HTN+/DHP+; n = 50). Multiple linear regression and linear mixed model analyses were performed to determine intergroup differences in baseline dopamine transporter availability and longitudinal changes in the levodopa-equivalent dose, respectively. Using Kaplan-Meier analyses, we compared the risks of levodopa-induced dyskinesia, wearing off, and dementia-free survival during the 5.06 years of the mean follow-up period. The Cox regression model determined the independent effects of DHPs on dementia conversion. RESULTS Dopamine transporter availability in all striatal subregions was comparable between the HTN-, HTN+/DHP-, and HTN+/DHP+ groups. The risks of levodopa-induced dyskinesia and wearing off, as well as longitudinal changes in the levodopa-equivalent dose, did not differ between the groups. The HTN+/DHP+ group had a lower risk of developing dementia than the HTN+/DHP- (Bonferroni-corrected Plog-rank = 0.036) group. The use of DHP was independently associated with a lower risk of dementia conversion after controlling for other antihypertensive drugs and confounding factors (hazard ratio, 0.242; 95% confidence interval, 0.087-0.668; P = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS DHPs may be associated with better long-term cognitive outcomes in hypertensive patients with PD. © 2023 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.

Mov Disord 2023; 38:616-625. [PMID: 36799459 DOI: 10.1002/mds.29320] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2022] [Revised: 12/01/2022] [Accepted: 12/20/2022] [Indexed: 02/18/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Degeneration of the substantia nigra (SN) may contribute to levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) in Parkinson's disease (PD), but the exact characteristics of SN in LID remain unclear. OBJECTIVE To further understand the pathogenesis of patients with PD with LID (PD-LID), we explored the structural and functional characteristics of SN in PD-LID using multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). METHODS Twenty-nine patients with PD-LID, 37 patients with PD without LID (PD-nLID), and 28 healthy control subjects underwent T1-weighted MRI, quantitative susceptibility mapping, neuromelanin-sensitive MRI, multishell diffusion MRI, and resting-state functional MRI. Different measures characterizing the SN were obtained using a region of interest-based approach. RESULTS Compared with patients with PD-nLID and healthy control subjects, the quantitative susceptibility mapping values of SN pars compacta (SNpc) were significantly higher (P = 0.049 and P = 0.00002), and the neuromelanin contrast-to-noise ratio values in SNpc were significantly lower (P = 0.012 and P = 0.000002) in PD-LID. The intracellular volume fraction of the posterior SN in PD-LID was significantly higher compared with PD-nLID (P = 0.037). Resting-state fMRI indicated that PD-LID in the medication off state showed higher functional connectivity between the SNpc and putamen compared with PD-nLID (P = 0.031), and the functional connectivity changes in PD-LID were positively correlated with Unified Dyskinesia Rating Scale total scores (R = 0.427, P = 0.042). CONCLUSIONS Our multimodal imaging findings highlight greater neurodegeneration in SN and the altered nigrostriatal connectivity in PD-LID. These characteristics provide a new perspective into the role of SN in the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying PD-LID. © 2023 The Authors.
