NCT05471713

Brief Summary

This study mainly explored the relationship between the permeability of the blood-brain barrier in the dorsal medulla oblongata and autonomic dysfunction, and the relationship and mechanism of MAPT genotype on the permeability of the blood-brain barrier and the progression of autonomic dysfunction in PD patients.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • MAPT genotype

    MAPT mainly has two extended haplotypes (H1 and H2) .

    baseline

  • Dynamic changes of the permeability of blood-brain barrier in dorsal medulla oblongata

    Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI is used to measure the permeability of blood-brain barrier in dorsal medulla oblongata.Dynamic contrast ⁃ enhanced (DCE) ⁃ MRI is a very valuable quantitative MRI technology, which plays a great role in clinical research. Quantitative analysis can calculate the contrast agent concentration in the region of interest, and then improve the comparability of different research results. The permeability of blood-brain barrier is calculated by the volume transfer constant (Ktrans) between plasma and extravascular-extracellular space.

    baseline,the sixth month,1year

  • Dynamic changes of SCOPA-AUT scale

    The Scales for Outcomes in Parkinson's Disease-Autonomic (SCOPA-AUT) is used to evaluate autonomic nerve dysfunction. The SCOPA-AUT consists of 25 items assessing the following regions: gastrointestinal (7), urinary (6), cardiovascular (3), thermoregulatory (4), pupillomotor (1), and sexual (2 items for men and 2 items for women) dysfunction.Higher scores mean more severe autonomic dysfunction, with a minimum score of 0 and a maximum of 69.

  • Coexisting neuropathological diagnosis considered to affect PD progression
  • Known complications affecting BBB (severe infection, cerebral infarction, etc.
  • Such as comorbidities known to affect the autonomic nervous system (e.g., diabetes gangliopathy or neuropathy)
  • Disturbance of consciousness, serious cerebral hemorrhage or cerebral thrombosis, serious brain tumor or brain surgery history, serious mental illness or other serious nervous system diseases, which are enough to seriously interfere with the subjects' motor and non motor symptoms
  • According to the judgment of the researcher, the researcher is unable to complete the research test according to the requirements of the research scheme.

RECRUITING

Biospecimen

Retention: SAMPLES WITH DNA

Microtubule associated protein tau (MAPT ) gene is located in 17q21.3 and contains 16 exons Due to the linkage disequilibrium inheritance of genes, MAPT mainly has two extended haplotypes (H1 and H2). This gene is responsible for encoding the neuronal microtubule associated protein tau, which is mainly distributed in the axons of neurons and plays an important role in the stability and assembly of microtubules. The gene polymorphism of MAPT is related to the clinical subtype of PD, in which MAPT H1J is related to sleep behavior disorder during rapid eye movement, while the risk of postural hypotension in H1B patients is increased by 1.72 times. The above studies suggest that the gene subtype of MAPT may be related to the occurrence and progression of early autd in PD patients.
