Size frequency distribution of the β-amyloid (aβ) deposits in dementia with Lewy bodies with associated Alzheimer’s disease pathology

The objective is to study beta-amyloid (Abeta) deposition in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) with Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology (DLB/AD). The size frequency distributions of the Abeta deposits were studied and fitted by log-normal and power-law models. Patients were ten clinically and pathologically diagnosed DLB/AD cases. Size distributions had a single peak and were positively skewed and similar to those described in AD and Down's syndrome. Size distributions had smaller means in DLB/AD than in AD. Log-normal and power-law models were fitted to the size distributions of the classic and diffuse deposits, respectively. Size distributions of Abeta deposits were similar in DLB/AD and AD. Size distributions of the diffuse deposits were fitted by a power-law model suggesting that aggregation/disaggregation of Abeta was the predominant factor, whereas the classic deposits were fitted by a log-normal distribution suggesting that surface diffusion was important in the pathogenesis of the classic deposits.

Laminar distribution of β-amyloid deposits in dementia with Lewy bodies and in Alzheimer's disease

This study tested whether the laminar distribution of the β-amyloid (Aβ) deposits in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) cases with significant Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology (DLB/AD) was similar to "pure" AD. In DLB/AD, the maximum density of the diffuse and primitive deposits occurred either in the upper laminae or a bimodal distribution was present with density peaks in the upper and lower laminae. A bimodal distribution of the classic Aβ deposits was also observed. Compared with AD, DLB/AD cases had fewer primitive deposits relative to the diffuse and classic deposits; the primitive deposits exhibited a bimodal distribution more frequently, and the diffuse deposits occurred more often in the upper laminae. These results suggest that Aβ pathology in DLB/AD may not simply represent the presence of associated AD. © 2006 Sage Publications.

Beta-amyloid deposition in the temporal lobe of patients with dementia with Lewy bodies:Comparison with non-demented cases and Alzheimer's disease

β-Amyloid (Aβ) deposition in regions of the temporal lobe in patients with dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) was compared with elderly, non-demented (ND) cases and with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The distribution, density and clustering patterns of diffuse, primitive and classic Aβ deposits were similar in 'pure' DLB and ND cases. The distribution of Aβ deposits and the densities of the diffuse and primitive deposits were similar in 'mixed' DLB/AD cases compared with AD. However, the density of the classic deposits was significantly lower in DLB/AD compared with AD. In addition, the primitive Aβ deposits occurred more often in small, regularly spaced clusters in the tissue and less often in a single large cluster in DLB/AD compared with 'pure' AD. These results suggest that pure DLB and AD are distinct disorders which can coexist in some patients. However, the Aβ pathology of DLB/AD cases is not identical to that observed in patients with AD alone. (C) 2000 S. Karger AG, Basel.
