  • Markers of immune stimulation in the cerebrospinal fluid during HIV infection: a longitudinal study

    • Markers of immune stimulation were studied in 76 sequential cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from 19 patients infected with HIV-1 without antiretroviral treatment during observation periods ranging from 22 months to 6 years. Eight of these patients were further followed with 14 CSF samples for 3-24 months of zidovudine treatment. During the course of HIV-1 infection, the mean CSF neopterin and beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2M) concentrations increased from 12.7 to 20.4 nmol/l (p < 0.01) and from 1.93 to 2.17 mg/l (p < 0.05), respectively, while the mean peripheral CD4 + T cell count decreased from 624 to 320 cells x 10(6)/l (p < 0.001). The IgG index, reflecting intrathecal immunoglobulin production, increased from 0.72 to 0.92 (p = 0.08). The number of patients with CSF pleocytosis did not change significantly during follow-up (8/19 at baseline, 7/19 at endpoint). In the 8 patients followed up during antiretroviral treatment, a significant reduction in mean CSF levels of neopterin and beta 2M (-48% and -32%, respectively, p < 0.01) was seen after 3-12 months on zidovudine. We suggest that gradual increase in immune stimulation reflected by the rising CSF concentrations of neopterin and beta 2M indicates that HIV-1 infection in the central nervous system is progressive even in neurologically asymptomatic stages.

  • Oral tetrahydroaminoacridine treatment of Alzheimer's disease evaluated clinically and by regional cerebral blood flow and EEG
  • 1993
  • Ingår i: Dementia (Switzerland). - 1013-7424. ; 4:1, s. 32-42
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Neurochemical evidence indicates that cognitive impairment in dementia of Alzheimer type (DAT) is related to degeneration of cholinergic neurons in the brain. A pharmacological approach is treatment with a cholinesterase inhibitor such as tetrahydroaminoacridine (THA). THA treatment of 17 patients with DAT was studied with a double-blind crossover design with three types of treatment, THA + lecithin, THA + placebo and placebo + placebo. Each treatment period was 6 weeks with wash out periods of 2 weeks. The treatment was evaluated with clinical ratings, psychometric testing, EEG and regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) measurements. No significant clinical differences between treatment periods were found in the total sample, but marked individual differences were observed. The patients were subdivided into three outcome groups based on four clinical measures: 6 patients improved (responders), 5 patients were mainly unchanged, and 6 patients showed further deterioration during the trial period of 26 weeks. Pretreatment rCBF in responders differed significantly from that of the deteriorated patients. EEG showed more high frequency activity among responders. Hepatotoxic side effects were observed in several cases. Three subjects showed marked increases of liver enzymes, with normalization following dose reduction. The majority of patients who improved or remained unchanged during the study chose to continue THA treatment in an open trial.
