Purpose
This study examined the impact of venlafaxine and bupropion on the detection of nigrostriatal degeneration by dopamine transporter (DAT)-SPECT.
Methods
43 patients (70.7 ± 8.6y, 44% female) with [123I]FP-CIT-SPECT under venlafaxine (n = 26, 37.5-225 mg/d), bupropion (n = 16, 150 or 300 mg/d) or both (n = 1) were included retrospectively. The striatal specific [123I]FP-CIT binding ratio (SBR), its left–right asymmetry and the putamen-to-caudate ratio were transformed to z-scores and submitted to a cluster analysis for data-driven categorization.
Results
Two clusters were identified. The first cluster (37% cases) showed a Parkinson’s disease (PD)-like pattern: median striatal SBR/asymmetry/putamen-to-caudate z-score -4.5/4.9/-3.8. The second cluster (63%) showed symmetric reduction with normal intra-striatal gradient: median striatal SBR/asymmetry/putamen-to-caudate z-score -2.7/0.4/0.2. Patients with follow-up clinical reference diagnoses of neurodegenerative (n = 8) and non-neurodegenerative (n = 16) parkinsonism fell exclusively into the former or the latter cluster, respectively (p < 0.001).
Conclusion
Venlafaxine and bupropion cause uniform reduction of the striatal [123I]FP-CIT SBR that can be distinguished from PD-like reductions.

尽管与文拉法辛或安非他酮存在药物相互作用,但多巴胺转运蛋白 SPECT 仍能可靠诊断黑质纹状体变性
目的
本研究检查了文拉法辛和安非他酮对多巴胺转运蛋白 (DAT)-SPECT 检测黑质纹状体变性的影响。
方法
回顾性纳入文拉法辛 (n = 26, 37.5-225 mg/d)、安非他酮 (n = 16, 150 或 300 mg/d) 或两者 (n = 1) 下 [123I]FP-CIT-SPECT 患者 (70.7 ± 8.6 岁,44% 女性)。纹状体特异性 [123I]FP-CIT 结合比 (SBR)、其左右不对称性和壳核与尾状核比被转换为 z 分数并提交给聚类分析以进行数据驱动的分类。
结果
确定了两个集群。第一组 (37% 病例) 显示帕金森病 (PD) 样模式: 正中纹状体 SBR/不对称/壳核至尾状核 z 评分 -4.5/4.9/-3.8。第二组 (63%) 显示对称性降低,纹状体内梯度正常: 中位纹状体 SBR/不对称/壳核至尾状核 z 评分 -2.7/0.4/0.2。神经退行性 (n = 8) 和非神经退行性 (n = 16) 帕金森综合征的随访临床参考诊断患者分别属于前者或后一组 (p < 0.001)。
结论
文拉法辛和安非他酮导致纹状体 [123I]FP-CIT SBR 均匀减少,可与 PD 样减少区分开来。
