The aim of this study was to identify whether RBD could alleviate OSA severity in PD patients and its effect on cognitive impairment.Methods：From February 2014 to May 2017, we recruited 174 PD patients from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, all of whom underwent polysomnography （PSG）. We collected clinical data, PSG results, and compared information between patients with and without RBD or OSA by analysis of covariance. We also investigated the effect of these sleep disorders on cognitive impairment using linear regression.Results：We grouped participants as follows： PD only （n = 53）, PD ＋ OSA （n = 29）, PD ＋ RBD （n = 61）, and PD ＋ RBD ＋ OSA （n = 31）. Minimum oxygen saturation （SaO2） during whole sleep and in REM sleep was higher in PD ＋ RBD ＋ OSA patients than that in PD ＋ OSA patients. PD ＋ RBD patients had worse Mini-Mental Status Examination and Montreal Cognitive Assessment （MoCA） scores than those in the PD group （P 〈 0.001）, especially in visuospatial/executive, attention, and memory functions. The PD ＋ OSA group performed worse than the PD group in the delayed recall domain. After adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, education, disease severity, and other sleep disorders, MoCA was negatively associated with OSA （β = ？0.736, P = 0.043） and RBD （β = ？2.575, P 〈 0.001）. The severity of RBD （tonic/phasic electromyography activity） and OSA （apnea-hypopnea index/oxygen desaturation index/minimum SaO2） were also associated with MoCA. The adjusted β values of RBD-related parameters were higher than that for OSA.Conclusions：We found that RBD alleviated OSA severity; however, RBD and OSA together exacerbated PD cognitive impairment. Further studies are needed to evaluate whether OSA treatment can improve cognition in PD.展开更多

文摘目的快速眼动睡眠行为障碍(rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder,RBD)是帕金森病(Parkinson's disease,PD)常见的非运动症状且是重要预后因素。本研究通过静息态功能磁共振成像,利用度中心度(degreecentrality,DC)和低频振幅(amplitudes of low-frequency fluctuation,ALFF)分析PD伴RBD和不伴有RBD患者组以及健康对照组三组间DC值和ALFF值,探索PD伴RBD患者脑功能活动特征及RBD特异性脑区,探究RBD发生的病理机制。材料与方法招募20例伴有RBD的PD患者(PD-RBD组)、40例无RBD的PD患者(PD-nonRBD组)和44例年龄性别匹配的健康对照(健康对照组),三组被试均接受磁共振扫描。利用静息态数据计算DC值和ALFF值,探测脑功能特征。结果方差分析结果显示三组间DC值主效应脑区为右侧中央前回、颞上回、小脑、额中回(P<0.05,FDR校正);ALFF值主效应脑区为左侧海马旁回、楔叶、舌回(P<0.05,FDR校正)。进一步分析发现相比于PD-nonRBD组,PD-RBD患者表现为右侧额中回DC值升高(t=4.02;P=0.007,FDR校正);左侧楔前叶DC值降低(t=5.30;P=0.009,FDR校正)。相比于健康对照组,PD-RBD患者表现为左侧额上回、小脑、右侧颞上回、左侧颞中回、额中回的DC值升高(P<0.05,FDR校正);左侧中央前回、颞上回和颞中回的DC值降低(P<0.05,FDR校正);右侧楔叶ALFF值降低(P<0.05,FDR校正)。结论PD-RBD在DC和ALFF上有独特的影像学特征,特别是右侧额中回、左侧楔前叶的功能异常可能与PD患者RBD的发生密切相关。
