RESUMO

Introduction: Treatment strategies in Parkinson's disease (PD) can improve a patient's quality of life but cannot stop the progression of PD. We are looking for different alternatives that modify the natural course of the disease and recent research has demonstrated the neuroprotective properties of erythropoietin. In Cuba, the Center for Molecular Immunology (CIM) is a cutting edge scientific center where the recombinant form (EPOrh) and recombinant human erythropoietin with low sialic acid (NeuroEPO) are produced. We performed two clinical trials to evaluate the safety and tolerability of these two drugs in PD patients. In this paper we want to show the positive results of the additional cognitive tests employed, as part of the comprehensive assessment. Materials and method: Two studies were conducted in PD patients from the outpatient clinic of CIREN, including n = 10 and n = 26 patients between 60 and 66 years of age, in stages 1 to 2 of the Hoehn and Yahr Scale. The first study employed recombinant human (rhEPO) and the second an intranasal formulation of neuroEPO. All patients were evaluated with a battery of neuropsychological scales composed to evaluate global cognitive functioning, executive function, and memory. Results: The general results in both studies showed a positive response to the cognitive functions in PD patients, who were undergoing pharmacological treatment with respect to the evaluation (p < 0.05) before the intervention. Conclusions: Erythropoietin has a discrete positive effect on the cognitive functions of patients with Parkinson's disease, which could be interpreted as an effect of the neuroprotective properties of this molecules. To confirm the results another clinical trial phase III with neuroEPO is in progress, also designed to discard any influence of a placebo effect on cognition.

RESUMO

Introducción. El desarrollo tecnológico contemporáneo y una mejor comprensión de funcionamiento de los ganglios basales obtenidos en las dos últimas décadas, unido a la necesidad de buscar alternativas terapéuticas para los estadíos avanzados y complicados de la enfermedad de parkinson, han condicionado un resurgimiento de la cirugía funcional de los ganglios basales como opción terapéutica. Método. 103 pacientes con enfermedad de Parkinson avanzada fueron evaluados con la escala UPDRS y se sometieron a lesión de la porción interna del globus pallidus. Durante la cirugía, todos los pacientes fueron sometidos a técnicas de semimicrorregistro con el fin de localizar y definir el área sensorimotora del globus pallidus, utilizando un recurso tecnológico propio. Resultados. Más del 93


de los pacientes se benefició con la cirugía, con promedios de mejoría del 40


para la condición motora. En el 95


de los pacientes se abolió la disquinesia y la morbimortalidad fue menor del 10


. Se concluye que la palidotomía posteroventral selectiva es un tratamiento exitoso y relativamente seguro para el tratamiento de las complicaciones motoras evolutivas de la enfermedad de Parkinson avanzada(AU)ç
