Title in Portuguese
Espectroscopia de prótons na doença de Alzheimer e no comprometimento cognitivo sem demência: avaliação de uma amostra da comunidade
Keywords in Portuguese
Doença de Alzheimer
Espectroscopia
Ressonância magnética nuclear
Transtornos cognitivos
Abstract in Portuguese
Para descrever os achados da espectroscopia de prótons (1H-ERM) na doença de Alzheimer (DA) e no comprometimento cognitivo sem demência (CIND) em uma amostra da comunidade foram avaliados 13 pacientes com DA, 12 com CIND e 15 controles normais. A 1H-ERM foi realizada com voxel de 8 cm3 nas regiões temporal direita, parietal esquerda e occipital medial estudando os metabólitos: N-acetilaspartato (NAA), creatina (Cr), colina (Cho) e mio-inositol (mI). O NAA foi maior nos indivíduos controles do que nos DA e intermediário no CIND; o mI foi maior no grupo DA do que nos controles; a Cho mostrou tendência a estar aumentada na DA e CIND. Correlação entre os testes cognitivos e a 1H-ERM confirmou a hipótese de que alterações metabólicas estão presentes quando do aparecimento das primeiras alterações cognitivas. A espectroscopia pode, em função disso, contribuir para o diagnóstico e seguimento de indivíduos com queixa de memória em indivíduos da comunidade com a possibilidade de diagnósticos mais precoces.

Abstract in English
For the description of the proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-ERM) data in Alzheimer´s disease (AD) and Cognitive Impairment Not Dementia (CIND) in a community set, subjects with AD (n=13), CIND (n=12) and normal control (n=15) were investigated. 1H-ERM was performance with single voxel (8 cm3) placed in temporal, parietal e occipital region and studied metabolites: N-acetylaspartate (NAA), creatine (Cr), choline (Cho) and myo-inositol (mI). NAA concentration was higher in control subjects than AD and intermediated level in CIND patients; mI was higher in patients with AD and CIND; Cho tended to be higher in AD and CIND. Metabolisms changes are present together the first cognitive deficits as showed by correlation between cognitive tests and 1H-ERM. Spectroscopy can be used in the diagnosis and follow-up of individuals with memory complain in the community set with the possibility of early diagnosis
