Article Abstract
Background: Studies have demonstrated that the levels of phospholipids, including phosphatidylinositols (PIs), were decreased in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain, presenting as a potential biomarker for AD. The plasma phospholipids levels have also been discovered to predict the conversion of cognitively normal elderly adults to amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) or demented patients.
Objective: To investigate the expression profile of PIs in erythrocytes of AD and aMCI patients, which would serve as a blood-based method to distinguish AD and aMCI patients from normal controls (NC).
Methods: In this study, we used anion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography to analyze PIs alterations in erythrocytes from a total of 86 prospectively recruited subjects (including 24 NC, 21 aMCI patients, and 41 AD patients).
Results: We found that the levels of PI40 : 4, PI3/5P, and PI(3,4)P2 in aMCI patients, and the levels of PI4P, PI(3,4)P2, and PI3/5P in AD patients were significantly decreased compared to NC. The changed expression profile of PIs could effectively discriminate AD and aMCI patients from NC (AUC = 0.964, 0.938, respectively).
Conclusion: The altered expression profile of erythrocytes PIs might be a potential blood-based biomarker for AD and aMCI. This alteration of PIs probably reflected the impaired deformability and oxygen-carrying capacity of erythrocytes in AD and aMCI patients.

Cross-domain latent profiles of MCI and dementia are most differentiated by social and emotional functioning.

Objective: Because of the complexity of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) clinical presentations across bio-psycho-social domains of functioning, data-reduction approaches, such as latent profile analysis (LPA), can be useful for studying profiles rather than individual symptoms. Previous LPA research has resulted in more precise characterization and understanding of patients, better clarity regarding the probability and rate of disease progression, and an empirical approach to identifying those who might benefit most from early intervention. Whereas previous LPA research has revealed useful cognitive, neuropsychiatric, or functional subtypes of patients with AD, no study has identified patient profiles that span the domains of health and functioning and that also include motor and sensory functioning.

Both Alzheimer's (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are often associated with memory dysfunction, but their pathophysiological underpinnings differ. The current research aimed to differentiate specific profiles of memory impairment due to AD versus PD. We used controlled learning and cued recall paradigm based on the Memory Binding Test (MBT) in 'clinically cognitively normal' controls (CN; n = 161), in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment due to AD (AD-aMCI; n = 50) and due to PD (PD-MCI; n = 22), and in PD with normal cognition (n = 18) as based on performance in the neuropsychological battery to prevent circularity in diagnostic decision-making.

Background: Acupuncture has been demonstrated to be effective in reducing cognitive decline in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). Hippocampal atrophy has been typically reported as a core neuromechanism in the aMCI. However, whether and how hippocampal subregions plasticity exists in aMCI after acupuncture remains largely unknown.

Introduction: Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy (CAA) is a common form of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD), characterized by the accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) protein in the walls of cortical and leptomeningeal arteries and arterioles. The sporadic form primarily affects the elderly and is closely associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Despite previous studies on cognition, the specific neuropsychological profile of CAA remains unclear.

: Rest-activity rhythm (RAR) disturbances can contribute to aging and dementia via metabolic dysregulation. Hydroxycholesterol (OH) is thought to mediate the link between hypercholesterolemia and neurodegeneration. This study compared sleep and RAR parameters between amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) patients and normal controls (NCs), and examined their associations with plasma 27-OH levels, reflecting peripheral cholesterol metabolism.
