  • High temperature requirement A1 and macrophage migration inhibitory factor in the cerebrospinal fluid; a potential marker of conversion from relapsing-remitting to secondary progressive multiple sclerosis
  • 2024
  • Ingår i: Journal of the Neurological Sciences. - 0022-510X .- 1878-5883. ; 457
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background: Predictive and prognostic biomarkers for multiple sclerosis (MS) remain a significant gap in MS diagnosis and treatment monitoring. Currently, there are no timely markers to diagnose the transition to secondary progressive MS (SPMS). Objective: This study aims to evaluate the discriminatory potential of the High temperature requirement serine protease (HTRA1)/Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) ratio in distinguishing relapsing-remitting (RRMS) patients from SPMS patients. Methods: The MIF and HTRA1 CSF levels were determined using ELISA in healthy controls (n = 23), RRMS patients before (n = 22) and after 1 year of dimethyl fumarate treatment (n = 11), as well as in SPMS patients before (n = 11) and after 2 years of mitoxantrone treatment (n = 7). The ability of the HTRA1/MIF ratio to discriminate the different groups was determined using receiver operating curve (ROC) analyses. Results: The ratio was significantly increased in treatment naïve RRMS patients while decreased again in SPMS patients at baseline. Systemic administrated disease modifying treatment (DMT) only significantly affected the ratio in RRMS patients. ROC analysis demonstrated that the ratio could discriminate treatment naïve RRMS patients from SPMS patients with 91% sensitivity and 100% specificity. Conclusion: The HTRA1/MIF ratio is a strong candidate as a MS biomarker for SPMS conversion.

  • Coping with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; from diagnosis and during disease progression
  • 2016
  • Ingår i: Journal of the Neurological Sciences. - : Elsevier BV. - 0022-510X .- 1878-5883. ; 361, s. 235-242

    • To evaluate coping strategies among patients with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis starting with diagnosis and during the disease progression, as well as investigate changes and correlations between coping strategies, emotional well-being and physical function. A total of 36 patients participated in the study. The patients filled out the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the Motor Neuron Disease Coping Scale. Physical function was measured using the revised ALS functional rating scale. Data were collected regularly from diagnosis and over a two years period. As a way to cope with the disease patients relied on both problem focused and emotional focused strategies. The use of coping strategies remained stable. Both physical disabilities and emotional well-being was related to some coping strategies, with some variation during the disease progression. Moreover, some coping strategies were related to symptoms of anxiety and depression. Irrespective of whether the coping strategies affect the emotional well-being or vice versa, the results show the importance of early and continuous evaluation of coping and emotional well-being to ease the emotional distress and provide support to the patient so that he/she can cope with the disease during the disease progression.

  • Symptoms of anxiety and depression in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and their relatives during the disease trajectory
  • 2023
  • Ingår i: Journal of the Neurological Sciences. - : Elsevier. - 0022-510X .- 1878-5883. ; 455
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • OBJECTS: The aim of this study was to describe the presence of anxiety and depression among patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and their relatives from diagnosis and during the disease progression. An additional aim was to explore if the patient's physical function correlated with the patients' or relatives' anxiety and depression.METHODS: A prospective and longitudinal study, including 33 patients with ALS and their relatives who filled out the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) at the time of diagnosis and over a period of two years. The patient's physical function was measured with the revised Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional and Rating Scale (ALS FRS-R).RESULTS: The results showed that many patients (45%) and relatives (58%) had symptoms of anxiety and that 13% of the patients and 29% of the relatives had symptoms of depression soon after the patient had been diagnosed with ALS. The prevalence of anxiety decreased over time in the group of patients but remained stable in the group of relatives. Relatives had more symptoms of anxiety compared to patients. There was a correlation between the patient's physical function and HADS in the group of relatives; however, no correlation was found in the group of patients.CONCLUSION: The results showed that many patients and relatives suffered from symptoms of anxiety quite soon after their diagnosis, and that many relatives had symptoms of anxiety during the disease trajectory. This highlights the need to continuously measure patients' anxiety/depression level but also to pay attention to symptoms among relatives.

  • Evidence for astrocytosis in ALS demonstrated by 11C(L)-deprenyl-D2 PET
  • 2007
  • Ingår i: Journal of the Neurological Sciences. - : Elsevier BV. - 0022-510X .- 1878-5883. ; 255:1-2, s. 17-22
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Objective: To use deuterium-substituted [11C](l)-deprenyl PET to depict astrocytosis in vivo in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Background: In human brain, the enzyme MAO-B is primarily located in astrocytes. l-deprenyl binds to MAO-B and autoradiography with 3H-l-deprenyl has been used to map astrocytosis in vitro. Motor neuron loss in ALS is accompanied by astrocytosis and astrocytes may play an active role in the neurodegenerative process. Deuterium-substituted [11C](l)-deprenyl PET provides an opportunity to localize astrocytosis in vivo in the brain of patients with ALS. Methods: Deuterium-substituted [11C](l)-deprenyl PET was performed in seven patients with ALS and seven healthy control subjects. Results: Increased uptake rate of [11C](l)-deprenyl was demonstrated in ALS in pons and white matter. Conclusion: This study provides evidence that astrocytosis may be detected in vivo in ALS by the use of deuterium-substituted [11C](l)-deprenyl PET though further studies are needed to determine whether deuterium-substituted [11C](l)-deprenyl binding tracks disease progression and reflects astrocytosis.

  • Hypercortisolism after stroke--partly cytokine-mediated?
  • 1997
  • Ingår i: Journal of the Neurological Sciences. - 0022-510X .- 1878-5883. ; 147:1, s. 43-7
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Increased activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is common early after stroke. Hypercortisolism is a prominent manifestation. Normally the secretion of cortisol is regulated by adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH), but recently an ACTH/cortisol dissociation after stroke was reported. Cytokines may influence the HPA axis, and plasma IL-6 levels are elevated following stroke. We investigated correlations between cortisol, ACTH, and cytokines, and between blood pressure and blood hormone levels early after stroke in seven stroke patients. All had neurological symptoms secondary to brain infarctions. Blood samples for analysis of cortisol, ACTH, IL-6, TNF alpha, norepinephrine, and epinephrine were collected four times daily, and 24-h blood pressure was measured. Plasma IL-6, but not ACTH, correlated significantly to serum cortisol. Catecholamine levels correlated with cytokine and cortisol levels. This study suggests that several routes for HPA-axis dysregulation is present early after stroke. Cytokine release may play an important role in this situation.
