RESUMEN
Objective To explore the correlation between thyroid function and cognitive ability in patients with subcortical arteriosclerotic encephalopathy.Methods Montreal cognitive assessment scale (Montreal Cognitive Assessment,MoCA) was used to evaluate the cognitive function of SAE patients with normal thyroid function and hypothyroidism.And the difference in the risk factors of SAE cognitive ability in patients with different thyroid functions was analyzed.Results There were no significant differences in gender,age,risk factors of hypertension,cerebral infarction,diabetes and smoking between the two groups (P＞0.05).The levels of FT3,FT4,TSH,MoCA and ADL in patients with hypothyroidism were (2.92±0.35) pmol/L,(15.61±2.76) pmol/L,(13.05± 1.64) mU/L,(12.73±5.75) points,(45.64±25.77) points,respectively.The levels of FT3,FT4 and TSH in normal thyroid function group and MoCA,ADL scores were (4.27±0.55)pmol/L,(16.74 ± 2.35) pmol/L,(2.73 ± 0.38) mU/L,(18.15 ± 5.35) points,(62.17 ± 26.72) points,respectively.The data of the hypothyroidism group was significantly lower than thst in the normal thyroid function group,and the difference was statistically significant (t =3.591,3.012,12.753,8.967,15.442,P＜0.05).FT3 levels in SAE patients were positively correlated with MoCA score and ADL score (r=0.518,0.617,P=0.026,0.018),while there was no significant correlation between FT4 level and MoCA and ADL score (r =0.015,0.007,P =0.852,0.074).MoCA score and ADL score were negatively correlated with TSH level (r=-0.651,-0.582,P=0.016,0.005).Conclusion Thyroid function is significantly correlated with cognitive ability of SAE patients.Thyroid function may be a clinical index for patients with subcortical arteriosclerosis,and provide a basis for rational drug use in patients with subcortical arteriosclerosis.
RESUMEN
Objective To explore the correlations between the levels of serum 25 ( OH) D and age, blood sugar, blood lipid, blood pressure and insulin levels in patients with subcortical arteriosclerotic encephalopathy . Methods A total of 100 patientswith subcortical arteriosclerotic encephalopathy ( SAE) and 50 healthy persons were enrolled in the study.ELISA was adopted to determine serum 25(OH)D levels in two groups.Meantime, fasting glu-cose, blood lipid, blood pressure and insulin levels were measured and compared between two groups .Results The systolic blood pressure , diastolic blood pressure , fasting glucose , total cholesterol and insulin levels in SAE patients were significantly higher than those in the healthy control (p0.05).The serum 25(OH)D levelswere negatively related with age, SBP, DBP and fasting glucose(p<0.05,p<0.01) but not correlative with TC, TG, LDL, HDL, and insulin levels in SAE patients.Conclusion The serum 25(OH)D levels in SAE patients are reducedby playing a regulative role in the occurrence and development of SAE throughaffectingthe energy metabolism .
RESUMEN
We report the case of a patient who presented to us with dementia, progressive gait instability and features of pseudobulbar palsy. Her MRI showed bilateral leukoaraiosis. She was diagnosed as a case of subcortical arteriosclerotic encephalopathy (Binswanger's disease) based on the clinical and radiological findings as per the diagnostic criteria proposed by Bennet.
RESUMEN
Objective To explore the levels of plasma P-selectin and serum vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)and the correlations with blood lipid and c-reative protein(CRP)in patients with subcortical arteriosclerotic encephalopathy(SAE).Methods The levels of plasam P-selectin,serum VEGF,blood glucose,blood lipid and CRP from the SAE group with 54 patients,and normal control(NC)group with 57 healthy elder were compared and correlated analyzed.Results The levels of P-selectin [(17.61?5.63)ng/ml ]and VEGF[(126.33?47.51)pg/ml] in SAE group were significantly higher than those in NC group[(14.72?3.89)ng/ml,(102.59?40.16)pg/ml](all P
RESUMEN
Objective To study the different features of memory disorder in patients with pure leukoaraiosis (LA) and subcortical arteriosclerotic encephalopathy (SAE).Methods Memory function was examined with clinical memory scale in 30 patients with pure LA, 30 patients with SAE and 30 healthy controls. All the subjects were also tested with MMSE (mini-mental state examination).Results All the patients with pure LA had significant lower MQ (memory quotient) and lower score in clinical memory scale than normal controls (all P
