HAN, Auteur ; Agnes S. CHAN, Auteur ; Sophia L. SZE, Auteur ; Mei-chun CHEUNG, Auteur ; Chun Kwok WONG, Auteur ; Joseph M. K. LAM, Auteur ; Priscilla M. K. POON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.662-674 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : EEG coherence Immunologic function Executive dysfunction Autism Children Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Previous studies have shown that children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) have impaired executive function, disordered neural connectivity, and abnormal immunologic function. The present study examined whether these abnormalities were associated. Seventeen high-functioning (HFA) and 17 low-functioning (LFA) children with ASD, aged 8–17 years, participated voluntarily in the study. The two groups of children were compared on their general intelligence in terms of IQ; executive function as measured by the Hong Kong List Learning Test, D2 Test of Concentration, Five Point Test, Children's Color Trail Test, Tower of California Test, and Go/No-Go task; a non-executive task as measured by the Picture Completion Task; neural connectivity as measured by theta coherence in the anterior and posterior regions; and immunologic function as measured by the level of circulating CD3+ CD8+ suppressor/cytotoxic T lymphocytes in a blood sample. Results on executive function showed that LFA children performed significantly poorer than HFA children as shown on their lower Executive Composite as well as individual executive function scores. However, there was no group difference on the Picture Completion Task. Results on neural connectivity showed that LFA children demonstrated a different pattern of electroencephalography (EEG) coherence from HFA children as shown in the significantly elevated theta coherence in the anterior network, as well as at the left intra-hemispheric (LA-LP) and right-to-left inter-hemisphere (RA-LP) connections of LFA children. In immunologic function, results showed that LFA children had significantly elevated level of suppressor/cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CD3+ CD8+) (p lt; 0.05). In addition, the executive dysfunction, disordered neural connectivity, and abnormal immunologic function were found to be associated. These results provided some initial evidence to support the notion that immunologic factors are associated with neuronal damage, measureable by EEG coherence and manifested as executive dysfunctions.

Titre : Lymphocyte subset alterations related to executive function deficits and repetitive stereotyped behavior in autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Yvonne M.Y. HAN, Auteur ; Agnes S. CHAN, Auteur ; Mei-chun CHEUNG, Auteur ; Winnie Wing-man LEUNG, Auteur ; Chun Kwok WONG, Auteur ; Joseph M.K. LAM, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.486-494 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Immune-function Neuropsychological-function Autism Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Increasing evidence suggests that immunological factors are involved in the pathogenesis of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The present study examined whether immunological abnormalities are associated with cognitive deficits in children with ASD. Eighteen high-functioning (HFA) and 19 low-functioning (LFA) children with ASD, aged 8–17 years, were assessed on cognitive functioning using IQ tests and executive functions tests including the Five Point test, Children Color Trail-making Test, D2 Test of Concentration, Tower of California Test; Hong Kong List Learning Test, and Go/No-Go test. They were also assessed on autoimmune symptoms, reported by their parents; and immunological measures including T lymphocytes (CD3+), B lymphocytes (CD19+), T helper lymphocytes (CD3+CD4+), suppressor/cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CD3+CD8+), and natural killer (NK) cells (CD3−CD16+ and/or CD56+). LFA children showed greater deficits in executive functions as well as higher levels of total lymphocyte, T lymphocyte and suppressor/cytotoxic T lymphocyte levels than HFA children (all p < 0.05). Their executive functions were also significantly associated with the three lymphocyte levels (all p < 0.05). These findings support the notion that altered immune functions may act on the neural tissues of individuals with ASD, which in turn leads to their cognitive dysfunctions.
