To address this question, diffusion tensor imaging 69 participants(15 LLD-MD patients; 24 patients intact memory(LLD-IM); and 30 healthy controls(HC)) was applied to...
Neurosyphilis is caused by the invasion of Treponema pallidum into central nervous system. General paresis (GP) a type neurosyphilis. The main manifestation general dementia; however, this different from other types dementia, which can be cured adequate doses penicillin in early stage. "great imitator" because it mimic many medical disorders. In addition, manifestations neurosyphilis are not typical. Psychiatric disorders as cause have become more common due to use antibiotics. Patients with...
Abstract Background Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a serious cardiovascular disease that adversely affects human health. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are involved in the pathological and physiological processes of AMI, but biological mechanism their involvement clinical significance remain unknown. We aimed to identify circRNAs significantly associated with morbidity peripheral blood patients AMI evaluate diagnostic utility. Methods High-throughput sequencing was used screen for...
Objectives: Although previous studies have extensively confirmed the cross-sectional relationship between cognitive impairment and depression in depressed elderly patients, findings of their longitudinal associations are still mixed. The purpose this study was to explore two-way causal symptoms cognition patients with late-life (LLD). Methods: A total 90 LLD were assessed across two time points (baseline 1-year follow up) on measures 3 aspects depressive symptoms. data then fitted a...
Abstract Aims The present study aimed to compare temporal variability in the spontaneous fluctuations of activity and connectivity between amnestic MCI (aMCI) nonamnestic (naMCI), which enhances understanding their different pathophysiologies provides targets for individualized intervention. Methods Sixty‐five naMCI 48 aMCI subjects 75 healthy controls were recruited. A sliding window analysis was used evaluate dynamic amplitude low‐frequency (dALFF), regional homogeneity (dReHo), functional...
Cognitive impairment in late-life depression (LLD) is considered to be caused by neurodegenerative changes. Elevated homocysteine (Hcy) levels may linked cognitive abnormalities associated with LLD. The important role of white matter (WM) damage and pathogenesis patients LLD has been widely reported. However, no research explored the interrelationships these features LLD.The goal study was examine interrelationship between Hcy levels, cognition, variations WM microstructure detected...
Abstract Background Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is a putative Alzheimer’s disease (AD) precursor without objective neuropsychological deficits. The hippocampus plays an important role in function and emotional responses generally aberrant SCD. However, previous studies have mainly focused on static functional connectivity (sFC) by resting-state magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) SCD individuals, it remains unclear whether hippocampal dynamic (dFC) changes exist those are associated...
Microglia play a crucial role in regulating the progression of traumatic brain injury (TBI). In specific, microglia can self-activate and secrete various substances that exacerbate or alleviate neuroimmune response to TBI. addition, microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved functional regulation microglia.
