摘要
Background Brain glymphatic dysfunction may contribute to the development of α-synucleinopathies. Yet, noninvasive imaging and quantification remain lacking. Purpose To examine glymphatic function of the brain in isolated rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) and its relevance to phenoconversion with use of diffusion-tensor imaging (DTI) analysis along the perivascular space (ALPS). Materials and Methods This prospective study included consecutive participants diagnosed with RBD, age- and sex-matched control participants, and participants with Parkinson disease (PD) who were enrolled and examined between May 2017 and April 2020. All study participants underwent 3.0-T brain MRI including DTI, susceptibility-weighted and susceptibility map-weighted imaging, and/or dopamine transporter imaging using iodine 123-2β-carbomethoxy-3β-(4-iodophenyl)-N-(3-fluoropropyl)-nortropane SPECT at the time of participation. Phenoconversion status to α-synucleinopathies was unknown at the time of MRI. Participants were regularly followed up and monitored for any signs of α-synucleinopathies. The ALPS index reflecting glymphatic activity was calculated by a ratio of the diffusivities along the x-axis in the projection and association neural fibers to the diffusivities perpendicular to them and compared according to the groups with use of the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests. The phenoconversion risk in participants with RBD was evaluated according to the ALPS index with use of a Cox proportional hazards model. Results Twenty participants diagnosed with RBD (12 men; median age, 73 years [IQR, 66-76 years]), 20 control participants, and 20 participants with PD were included. The median ALPS index was lower in the group with RBD versus controls (1.53 vs 1.72; P = .001) but showed no evidence of a difference compared with the group with PD (1.49; P = .68). The conversion risk decreased with an increasing ALPS index (hazard ratio, 0.57 per 0.1 increase in the ALPS index [95% CI: 0.35, 0.93]; P = .03). Conclusion DTI-ALPS in RBD demonstrated a more severe reduction of glymphatic activity in individuals with phenoconversion to α-synucleinopathies. © RSNA, 2023 Supplemental material is available for this article.
