چکیده
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Both cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) and paraoxonase have been reported to be related to lipid metabolism and atherosclerosis. We investigated whether the paraoxonase gene (PON1) polymorphism and atherosclerosis are associated with risk of CAA. METHODS Associations of the PON1 polymorphism and atherosclerosis of the aorta and coronary and cerebral arteries with the severity of CAA were investigated in 154 elderly Japanese individuals, including 47 patients with Alzheimer's disease. RESULTS The PON1 polymorphism or severity of atherosclerosis of the arteries was not associated with the severity of CAA. CONCLUSIONS The PON1 polymorphism and atherosclerosis would not appear to be associated with risk of CAA in the elderly, although further study with larger samples is necessary for confirmation.

Association of the Glutathione S-transferase Omega-1 Ala140Asp Polymorphism With Cerebrovascular Atherosclerosis and Plaque-Associated Interleukin-1 Expression
Background and Purpose—Glutathione S-transferase omega-1 is a multifunctional enzyme. The Asp/Asp genotype of the Ala140Asp polymorphism of the GSTO1 gene has been alleged to increase the risk of vascular dementia. The objective of this study is to address the question of whether common vessel disorders known to cause vascular dementia are modified in their severity by this polymorphism. Method...

متن کاملAssociation between severe cerebral amyloid angiopathy and cerebrovascular lesions in Alzheimer disease is not a spurious one attributable to apolipoprotein E4.
BACKGROUND We have previously reported an association between severe cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) and cerebrovascular lesions in Alzheimer disease (AD), which is particularly strong for microinfarcts, hemorrhages, and multiple lesion types. Cerebral amyloid angiopathy has also been associated with the apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) genotype, which is in turn associated with premature coronary a...
متن کاملCerebral atherosclerosis is associated with cystic infarcts and microinfarcts but not Alzheimer pathologic changes.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Some studies have reported associations between intracranial atherosclerosis and Alzheimer disease pathology. We aimed to correlate severity of cerebral atherosclerosis, arteriolosclerosis, and cerebral amyloid angiopathy with neurofibrillary tangles, neuritic plaques, and cerebral infarcts. METHODS This autopsy study (n=163) was drawn from a longitudinal study of subco...
متن کاملAutopsy study of incidence and distribution of cerebral amyloid angiopathy in Hisayama, Japan.
The incidence of cerebral amyloid angiopathy in a general population was evaluated in brains of 400 consecutive autopsies of residents of Hisayama, Japan (November 1971-October 1983). Six samples taken from frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, occipital lobe, hippocampus, and basal ganglia of the same side of each brain were stained with both hematoxylin and eosin and Congo red. The spec...
