Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the characteristics of white matter lesions(WML)found by magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)and the relationship with clinical features in patients with Parkinson's disease(PD).Methods:This was a retrospective study by using a method of MRI T2WI-FLAIR.The WML in 87 PD patients were evaluated by using the Fazekas scale and Scheltens scale.Patients were divided into the early PD group[n=47, Hoehn-Yahr(H-Y)stage 1.0-2.0] vs.the middle-advanced PD group(n=40, H-Y stage 2.5-4.0), the non-depressed PD group(n=71) vs. the depressed PD group(n=16), the non-anxions PD group(n=62) vs.the anxions PD group(n=25). An ordinal regression model was used to investigate the correlations of WML with gender, age, Mini-Mental State Examination(MMSE)score, Unified Parkinson's disease Rating Scale-Ⅲ score(UPDRS-Ⅲ), Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression score(HAMD)and Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety score(HAMA). Results:Compared with the early PD group, the middle-advanced PD group showed that the WML were increased in lobe of brain(5.30±4.85 vs. 3.43±3.13, P<0.05), especially in the occipital lobe(0.48±0.99 vs. 0.11±0.31, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the WML between the non-depressed/anxions and the depressed/anxions PD group.After being evaluated by the Scheltens scale, WML in periventricular hyperintensities(PVH)regions( OR=1.13, P<0.01), in brain lobe( OR=1.10, P<0.01)and in basal ganglia regions( OR=1.15, P<0.01)were correlated with age.WML in the brain besides the PV region were correlated with MMSE score( OR=0.68, P<0.01), especially in posterior horns( OR=0.60, P<0.01)and lateral ventricles( OR=0.68, P<0.05). WML in temporal lobe was correlated with MMSE score( OR=0.68, P<0.05). WML in brain lobe was correlated with H-Y stages( OR=2.10, P<0.05), especially in the occipital lobe( OR=3.33, P<0.05). WML in parietal lobe was associated with HAMD score( OR=1.13, P<0.05). WML in basal ganglia regions was related to diabetes( OR=6.34, P<0.05), especially in the putamen( OR=6.86, P<0.01). After being evaluated by the Fazekas scale, WML in PVH region( OR=1.16, P<0.01)and deep white matter hyperintensities( OR=1.13, P<0.01)were correlated with age.WML in PVH region were associated with MMSE score( OR=0.65, P<0.01). WML scores in PD patients had no correlation with gender, hypertension, coronary heart disease, hyperlipemia, UPDRS-Ⅲ score and HAMA score. Conclusions:The WML is present in PD patients, and it is correlated with age, diabetes, severity of disease, depression and cognitive function.
