摘要

Rationale and Objectives: To investigate for differences in metabolic concentrations and ratios between patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) without (group SLE) and those with neurological symptoms (group NPSLE) compared to a healthy control (group HC) in three normal-appearing brain regions: the frontal white matter, right insula (RI), and occipital gray matter and whether changes in any of the metabolites or metabolic ratios are correlated to disease activity and other clinical parameters. Materials and Methods: Twenty patients with SLE (18 women and 2 men, age range 23.4-64.6 years, mean age 43.9 years), 23 NPSLE patients (23 women, age range 23.7-69.8 years, mean age 42.4 years), and 21 HC (19 women and 2 men, age range 21.0-65.7 years, mean age 43.4 years) were included. All subjects had conventional brain magnetic resonance imaging and 1H single-voxel spectroscopy, clinical assessment, and laboratory testing. Results: NPSLE patients had significantly reduced N-acetylaspartate (NAA)/creatine compared to HC (. P = .02) and SLE patients (. P = .01) in the RI. Lower glutamine/creatine levels were also detected in RI in both patient groups and in frontal white matter in NPSLE patients compared to HC (. P = .01, P = .02). NAA/Cr ratio in the RI was significantly negatively correlated with the Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (. r =-0.41; P =.008), and patients with active SLE symptoms also had a trend toward lower NAA/creatine ratios (1.02 vs 1.12; P =.07). Conclusions: The present data support previous findings of abnormal metabolic changes in normal-appearing regions in the brain of both SLE and NPSLE patients and raise the possibility that especially NAA, glutamine, and glutamate may be additional biomarkers for cerebral disease activity in SLE patients as these early metabolic changes occur in the brain of SLE patients before neurologic and imaging manifestations become apparent.
