Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the metabolic changes in globus pallidus (GP) and substantia nigra (SN) during the early stage of Parkinson disease (PD) using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure were searched till November 2018. Eligible trials comparing early metabolic changes in GP and SN in patients with PD vs. controls were included. The mean differences with 95% confidence intervals were estimated with either fixed- or random-effects models using Review Manager 5.3 software. Trial sequential analysis was performed using TSA 0.9.5.10 beta software. Finally, 16 studies were selected from the search. Overall, the N-acetyl aspartate-to-creatine ratio showed a significant difference between patients with early-stage PD and healthy controls. The overall heterogeneity was P < 0.00001, I2 = 94% in GP and P = 0.0002, I2 = 74% in SN. The results revealed that MRS could be a more sensitive imaging biomarker in the diagnosis of early-stage PD.

Effect of MAO-B Inhibitors on Neurometabolic Profile of Patients Affected by Parkinson Disease: A Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Study. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11071931. [PMID: 35407539 PMCID: PMC8999805 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11071931] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2022] [Revised: 03/18/2022] [Accepted: 03/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is the most common neurodegenerative movement disorder whose treatment is symptomatic. No suitable methods for assessing the effects of dopaminergic drugs on disease progression in clinical trials have yet been provided. The aim of this longitudinal study is to evaluate the influence of rasagiline and selegiline on neurometabolic profile in de novo PD patients by using Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (1H-MRS). We enrolled de novo PD patients who were divided into two groups of 20 patients each, according to the dopaminergic treatment prescribed at the baseline visit (rasagiline or selegiline). At the baseline visit and after 12 months, all patients underwent neurological evaluation as well as 1H-MRS. Forty healthy controls (HC) underwent 1H-MRS at baseline and after 12 months. PD patients, compared to HC, showed significantly lower concentrations of NAA in the motor cortex, while the Cho levels showed a decreasing trend. After 12 months of therapy, the 1H-MRS study revealed that rasagiline and selegiline in a similar way were able to restore the NAA levels to values similar to those of HC. In addition, this neurometabolic change showed a correlation with UPDRS-III scores. This is the first longitudinal study that provides preliminary evidence that 1H-MRS may be a suitable method to evaluate objectively the influence of MAO-B inhibitors on the neurometabolic profile of PD patients. These results could open a new scenario on the hypothesis of a drug-induced slowing effect of PD progression.

Altered Neurometabolic Profile in Early Parkinson's Disease: A Study With Short Echo-Time Whole Brain MR Spectroscopic Imaging. Front Neurol 2019; 10:777. [PMID: 31379726 PMCID: PMC6651356 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2019.00777] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2019] [Accepted: 07/03/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: To estimate alterations in neurometabolic profile of patients with early stage Parkinson's disease (PD) by using a short echo-time whole brain magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (wbMRSI) as possible biomarker for early diagnosis and monitoring of PD. Methods: 20 PD patients in early stage (H&Y ≤ 2) without evidence of severe other diseases and 20 age and sex matched healthy controls underwent wbMRSI. In each subject brain regional concentrations of metabolites N-acetyl-aspartate (NAA), choline (Cho), total creatine (tCr), glutamine (Gln), glutamate (Glu), and myo-inositol (mIns) were obtained in atlas-defined lobar structures including subcortical basal ganglia structures (the left and right frontal lobes, temporal lobes, parietal lobes, occipital lobes, and the cerebellum) and compared between patients and matched healthy controls. Clinical characteristics of the PD patients were correlated with spectroscopic findings. Results: In comparison to controls the PD patients revealed altered lobar metabolite levels in all brain lobes contralateral to dominantly affected body side, i.e., decreases of temporal NAA, Cho, and tCr, parietal NAA and tCr, and frontal as well as occipital NAA. The frontal NAA correlated negatively with the MDS-UPDRS II (R = 22120.585, p = 0.008), MDS-UPDRS IV (R = −0.458, p = 0.048) and total MDS-UPDRS scores (R = −0.679, p = 0.001). Conclusion: In early PD stages metabolic alterations are evident in all contralateral brain lobes demonstrating that the neurodegenerative process affects not only local areas by dopaminergic denervation, but also the functional network within different brain regions. The wbMRSI-detectable brain metabolic alterations reveal the potential to serve as biomarkers for early PD.

The influence of one session of low frequency rTMS on pre-supplementary motor area metabolites in late stage Parkinson's disease. Clin Neurophysiol 2019; 130:1292-1298. [PMID: 31176928 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinph.2019.04.720] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2018] [Revised: 03/29/2019] [Accepted: 04/27/2019] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the effect of Low Frequency repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (LF rTMS) on brain metabolites in late stage Parkinson's disease (PD) patients (disease duration at least 4 years and Hoehn and Yahr (1969) score at least 2 in OFF). Several neuroimaging data support a role for pre-Supplementary Motor Area (pre-SMA) involvement in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease. Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) measures in vivo metabolites, but results in PD brain remain conflicting and little is known of the effect of LF rTMS thereupon. METHODS We investigate the neurochemical profile of the right pre-SMA in 17 late stage PD patients (11 male and 6 female, mean age of 71 years) before and after one session of sham controlled 1 Hz rTMS (1000 pulses, 16 minutes), focusing on the tNAA/tCr and tCho/tCr ratios. RESULTS The tNAA/tCr ratio was unaffected by one session of LF rTMS. We did observe a significant effect of real LF rTMS on the tCho/tCr ratio, inversely correlated with disease duration, and not related to the presence of dyskinesias. As expected, one session of LF rTMS did not affect clinical outcome. CONCLUSIONS LF rTMS at the right pre-SMA in late stage Parkinson's disease patients does not alter tNAA/tCr, but influences tCho/tCr ratio, in particular in patients with shorter disease duration. SIGNIFICANCE Pre-SMA LF rTMS seems to influence membrane turnover, more importantly in patients with shorter disease duration. Larger LF rTMS treatment studies applying multiple sessions are needed.

Differential diagnosis of multiple system atrophy with predominant parkinsonism and Parkinson's disease using neural networks. J Neurol Sci 2019; 401:19-26.

Abstract
Differential diagnosis between Parkinson's disease (PD) and atypical parkinsonism, such as multiple system atrophy (MSA), can be difficult, especially in the early stages of the disease. Deep learning using neural networks (NNs) makes possible the prediction of the diagnosis using various types of biomarkers, unlike conventional linear statistics. We aimed to differentiate the Parkinson's variant of MSA (MSA-P) from PD both in the early stages by clinical utilization of NN analyses before the hot cross-bun and putaminal rim imaging features of MSA appeared. Analysis by NN involved the data of voxel-based morphometry (VBM) that indicate morphological changes and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) that indicate qualitative changes. VBM analysis showed that compared with PD patients, MSA-P patients showed atrophy in the superior cerebellar peduncle, middle cerebellar peduncle, cerebellar hemisphere, pons, midbrain, and putamen, but not in the globus pallidus. Proton MRS on the globus pallidus in the diseased hemisphere, lacking atrophy as observed with VBM, revealed decreased neurons and gliosis in both groups. Clinical differentiation of MSA-P from PD using NN analysis, involved measuring the prediction potential using the area under the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves (AUC). Using both VBM and MRS data, NNs contributed adequately to the clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Asymmetry of dopaminergic neurodegeneration and subsequent lateralisation of motor symptoms are distinctive features of Parkinson's disease compared to other forms of neurodegenerative or symptomatic parkinsonism. Even 200 years after the first description of the disease, the underlying causes for this striking clinicopathological feature are not yet fully understood. There is increasing evidence that lateralisation of disease is due to a complex interplay of hereditary and environmental factors that are reflected not only in the concept of dominant hemispheres and handedness but also in specific susceptibilities of neuronal subpopulations within the substantia nigra. As a consequence, not only the obvious lateralisation of motor symptoms occurs but also patterns of associated non-motor signs are defined, which include cognitive functions, sleep behaviour or olfaction. Better understanding of the mechanisms contributing to lateralisation of neurodegeneration and the resulting patterns of clinical phenotypes based on bilateral post-mortem brain analyses and clinical studies focusing on right/left hemispheric symptom origin will help to develop more targeted therapeutic approaches, taking into account subtypes of PD as a heterogeneous disorder.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Parkinson's disease (PD) is divided into postural instability gait difficulty (PIGD) and tremor-dominant (TD) subtypes. Increasing evidence has suggested that the GABAergic neurotransmitter system is involved in the pathogenesis of PD. PURPOSE To evaluate the differences of GABA levels between PD motor subtypes using MEscher-GArwood Point Resolved Spectroscopy (MEGA-PRESS). STUDY TYPE COHORT.: SUBJECTS: PD patients were classified into PIGD (n = 13) and TD groups (n = 9); 16 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were also recruited. All subjects were right-handed. SEQUENCE All subjects underwent an magnetic resonance spectroscopy scan including MEGA-PRESS at 3.0T. ASSESSMENT The detected GABA signal also contains signal from macromolecules (MM) and homocarnosine, so it is referred to as GABA+. GABA + levels and Creatine (Cr) levels were quantified in the left basal ganglia (BG) using Gannet 2.0 by Tao Gong. STATISTICAL TESTS Differences in GABA + levels between the three groups were analyzed using analysis of covariance. The relationship between GABA levels and a unified PD rating scale (UPDRS) was also analyzed. RESULTS GABA + levels were significantly lower in left BG regions of PD patients compared with healthy controls (P < 0.001). In PD patients, the GABA concentration was lower in the TD group than the PIGD group (P = 0.019). Cr levels in PIGD and TD were lower than controls (P = 0.020; P = 0.002). A significant negative correlation was found in PIGD between GABA levels and UPDRS (r = -0.572, P = 0.041), while no correlation was found in TD (r = -0.339, P = 0.372). DATA CONCLUSION Low BG GABA levels in PD patients, and differences between PIGD/TD patients, suggest that GABAergic dysfunction may play an important role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The accurate diagnosis and monitoring of idiopathic Parkinson disease (PD), a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, has not been fully developed. This study sought to identify a neurochemical profile in multiple regions of the PD brain and healthy controls by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS). We aimed to track changes of the brain neurochemical, quantify neuronal loss, and further determine the diagnostic value of 1H-MRS. METHODS PD patients and healthy controls recruited from Second Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University Medical College, Shantou, southern China, underwent 1H-MRS. Chemical information was obtained for ratios of N-acetylaspartate to creatine (NAA/Cr), NAA to choline (NAA/Cho), and Cho to Cr for substantia nigra, globus pallidus, prefrontal lobe, hippocampus, cuneus gyrus, and dorsal thalamus regions. RESULTS Compared to the 20 healthy controls (12 male, age 58.75 ± 5.03 years), the 42 patients (21 male, age 61.60 ± 6.40 years) showed lower NAA/Cr and NAA/Cho ratios in substantia nigra, globus pallidus, prefrontal lobe, hippocampus, cuneus gyrus and dorsal thalamus regions (p < .01); NAA/Cr and NAA/Cho ratios were reduced for both patients with unilateral and mild/no cognitive impairment (p < .01); Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale score was inversely correlated with NAA/Cr ratios in the substantia nigra (r = -.32; p = .042). CONCLUSION NAA/Cr and NAA/Cho ratios may be useful metabolic biomarkers for early diagnosis of PD. Multi-voxel 1H-MRS can provide information on brain neurochemistry and may be a promising technique for diagnosis of and monitoring neuronal loss in PD.

Abstract
Background Imaging studies have revealed widespread neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s disease (PD), but only a few considered the issue of asymmetrical clinical presentations. Objective To investigate if the side of onset influences the pattern of gray matter (GM) atrophy in PD. Methods Sixty patients (57.87 ± 10.27 years) diagnosed with idiopathic PD according to the U.K. Brain Bank criteria, 26 with right-sided disease onset (RDO) and 34 with left-sided disease onset (LDO), were compared to 80 healthy controls (HC) (57.1 ± 9.47 years). We acquired T1-weighted images on a 3 T scanner. Images were processed and analyzed with VBM8 (SPM8/Dartel) on Matlab R2012b platform. Statistic assessments included a two-sample test (family-wise error p < 0.05) with extent threshold of 20 voxels. Results Compared to HC, LDO patients had GM atrophy in the insula, putamen, anterior cingulate, frontotemporal cortex, and right caudate, while the RDO group showed atrophy at the anterior cingulate, insula, frontotemporal, and occipital cortex. Conclusion This study revealed widespread GM atrophy in PD, predominantly in the left hemisphere, regardless of the side of onset. Future investigations should also consider handedness and side of onset to better characterize cerebral involvement and its progression in PD.
