Abstract
Amyloid-beta (Aβ) is produced by the cleavage of amyloid precursor proteins in the cell membrane by β-secretase and γ-secretase into a monomeric form with peptides of different lengths such as Aβ1-40 or Aβ1-42, which is then transformed into oligomeric and fibril forms and is considered to be one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The plasma concentrations of Aβ1-40 and Aβ1-42 are unstable after blood samples have been obtained. In order to examine the dynamic changes of plasma Aβ1-42 and Aβ1-40 in blood samples, we used fresh blood samples in ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid tubes from 32 clinically diagnosed AD patients. Each sample was subdivided into eight sub-samples, and levels of Aβ1-40 and Aβ1-42 were measured at 0 (baseline), 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, and 24 h, respectively. All samples were incubated at 37°C before being measuring. The results showed that compared to baseline, 87.5 and 62.5% of the patients had higher plasma levels of Aβ1-42 and Aβ1-40 at 24 h, respectively. The patients with an increased amyloid level did not have a significantly different apo-lipoprotein E4 allele (APOE4) gene status for either Aβ1-40 (p = 0.422) or Aβ1-42 (p = 1.000). However, for plasma Aβ1-42, the APOE4 carriers had a significantly lower level than the non-carriers at baseline [31.2 ± 6.5 (mean ± SD) ng/ml vs. 50.4 ± 47.7 ng/ml, p = 0.031] and 0.5 h (37.5 ± 7.6 ng/ml vs. 51.9 ± 30.8 ng/ml, p = 0.043). There were no significant differences between the APOE4 carriers and non-carriers in plasma Aβ1-42 concentration at 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, and 24 h (p = 0.112, p = 0.086, p = 0.112, p = 0.263, p = 0.170 and p = 0.621, respectively). The Aβ1-40 level was related to disease severity as assessed using the clinical dementia rating (CDR) scale. Patients with advanced stages of dementia (CDR = 1 and CDR = 2) had a significantly higher Aβ1-40 level compared to those with very mild stage dementia (CDR = 0.5) at all time points (p < 0.05) except for 24 h (p = 0.059). Our findings illustrate the effects of APOE4 status on dynamic changes in plasma Aβ1-40 and Aβ1-42 levels, and significant associations between Aβ1-40 level and disease severity. Further studies are needed to investigate the exact mechanisms of how APOE4 affects the dynamic changes in plasma Aβ1-40 and Aβ1-42, and the association between Aβ1-40 and advanced dementia.

Abstract
Objectives: Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) are frequently met in Alzheimer's disease (AD), especially in their late stages. BPSD has been reported to be associated with gender for its biological characteristics and severity of dementia. We aimed to investigate the gender differences in presentation of BPSD in AD in Taiwan.Methods: We recruited patients with clinically diagnosed AD by National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINCDS) - Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Association (ADRDA) criteria. Demographic data and annual psychometrics, including Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) and Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI), consisting sub-items of delusions, hallucinations, aggression, depression, anxiety, elation, apathy, disinhibition, irritability, aberrant motor, nighttime behavior and eating were all administered to evaluate BPSD. Apolipoprotein E (APOE) allele was genotyped for each recruited AD subject. Differences between gender and variables were compared and significant NPI sub-items associated with gender were determined, while linear regression analyses were determined as the independent factor for BPSD.Results: In total, 280 female and 180 male AD patients were recruited into statistical analyses. Males had longer education duration and higher MMSE scores than females. Female had higher presence of delusion and disinhibition. In linear regression, being female and CDR stage were two independent factors for delusion (for female, B = 0.95, 95% CI = 0.17-1.73, p = 0.017) and disinhibition (for female, B = 0.49, 95% CI = 0.08-0.90, p = 0.019) after adjusting for confounding factors.Conclusions: The presentation of delusion and disinhibition in BPSD is associated with the female gender and staging of AD. Disinhibition was not necessarily associated with late stage of AD.

Σ^{+} and Σ[over ¯]^{-} Polarization in the J/ψ and ψ(3686) Decays. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2020; 125:052004.

Abstract
From 1310.6×10^{6} J/ψ and 448.1×10^{6} ψ(3686) events collected with the BESIII experiment, we report the first observation of Σ^{+} and Σ[over ¯]^{-} spin polarization in e^{+}e^{-}→J/ψ[ψ(3686)]→Σ^{+}Σ[over ¯]^{-} decays. The relative phases of the form factors ΔΦ have been measured to be (-15.5±0.7±0.5)° and (21.7±4.0±0.8)° with J/ψ and ψ(3686) data, respectively. The nonzero value of ΔΦ allows for a direct and simultaneous measurement of the decay asymmetry parameters of Σ^{+}→pπ^{0}(α_{0}=-0.998±0.037±0.009) and Σ[over ¯]^{-}→p[over ¯]π^{0}(α[over ¯]_{0}=0.990±0.037±0.011), the latter value being determined for the first time. The average decay asymmetry, (α_{0}-α[over ¯]_{0})/2, is calculated to be -0.994±0.004±0.002. The CP asymmetry A_{CP,Σ}=(α_{0}+α[over ¯]_{0})/(α_{0}-α[over ¯]_{0})=-0.004±0.037±0.010 is extracted for the first time, and is found to be consistent with CP conservation.

Abstract
AIM Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease. Various inflammatory processes account for the pathology of AD, and macrophages in particular have a distinct polarization phenotype related to M1/M2 classification. We aimed to investigate macrophage polarization patterns as an indicator of cognitive function in AD. METHODS We recruited 54 non-demented individuals as control and 105 AD patients as experimental groups respectively. Percentages of macrophage (PM2K+ CD14+ and PM2K+ CD14- ) and macrophage polarization subsets (M1, M2a, M2b, and M2c) were assessed using flow cytometry. All AD patients were classified by dementia severity using clinical Dementia Rating scale (CDR) as CDR 0.5, 1 and ≧2. AD patients had cognitive function evaluation using Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Cognitive Assessment Screening Instrument (CASI). We compared the macrophage polarization patterns between control and patient groups. Cognitive function was evaluated in association with macrophage polarization patterns in AD patients. RESULTS The percentages of PM2K+ CD14+ and PM2K+ CD14- macrophages were higher in AD patients than in controls. M2b macrophage subset decrement and M1 macrophage subset increment of PM2K+ CD14+ and PM2K+ CD14- macrophages were observed in AD patients compared with controls. Although percentages of macrophage subsets were not consistent with CDR staging, PM2K+ CD14+ M2b macrophage subset decrement was correlated with worse cognitive functioning by MMSE and CASI in AD patients. CONCLUSION M2b macrophage subset decrement and M1 macrophage subset increment were noted in AD patients, while PM2K+ CD14+ M2b macrophage subset decrement indicated worse cognitive function in such patients.

Abstract
The processes X(3872)→D^{*0}D[over ¯]^{0}+c.c.,γJ/ψ,γψ(2S), and γD^{+}D^{-} are searched for in a 9.0 fb^{-1} data sample collected at center-of-mass energies between 4.178 and 4.278 GeV with the BESIII detector. We observe X(3872)→D^{*0}D^{0}[over ¯]+c.c. and find evidence for X(3872)→γJ/ψ with statistical significances of 7.4σ and 3.5σ, respectively. No evident signals for X(3872)→γψ(2S) and γD^{+}D^{-} are found, and the upper limit on the relative branching ratio R_{γψ}≡{B[X(3872)→γψ(2S)]}/{B[X(3872)→γJ/ψ]}<0.59 is set at 90% confidence level. Measurements of branching ratios relative to decay X(3872)→π^{+}π^{-}J/ψ are also reported for decays X(3872)→D^{*0}D^{0}[over ¯]+c.c.,γψ(2S),γJ/ψ, and γD^{+}D^{-}, as well as the non-D^{*0}D^{0}[over ¯] three-body decays π^{0}D^{0}D^{0}[over ¯] and γD^{0}D^{0}[over ¯].

Measurements of Absolute Branching Fractions of Fourteen Exclusive Hadronic D Decays to η. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2020; 124:241803.

Abstract
Using 2.93 fb^{-1} of e^{+}e^{-} collision data taken at a center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV with the BESIII detector, we report the first measurements of the absolute branching fractions of 14 hadronic D^{0(+)} decays to exclusive final states with an η, e.g., D^{0}→K^{-}π^{+}η, K_{S}^{0}π^{0}η, K^{+}K^{-}η, K_{S}^{0}K_{S}^{0}η, K^{-}π^{+}π^{0}η, K_{S}^{0}π^{+}π^{-}η, K_{S}^{0}π^{0}π^{0}η, and π^{+}π^{-}π^{0}η; D^{+}→K_{S}^{0}π^{+}η, K_{S}^{0}K^{+}η, K^{-}π^{+}π^{+}η, K_{S}^{0}π^{+}π^{0}η, π^{+}π^{+}π^{-}η, and π^{+}π^{0}π^{0}η. Among these decays, the D^{0}→K^{-}π^{+}η and D^{+}→K_{S}^{0}π^{+}η decays have the largest branching fractions, which are B(D^{0}→K^{-}π^{+}η)=(1.853±0.025_{stat}±0.031_{syst})% and B(D^{+}→K_{S}^{0}π^{+}η)=(1.309±0.037_{stat}±0.031_{syst})%, respectively. The charge-parity asymmetries for the six decays with highest event yields are determined, and no statistically significant charge-parity violation is found.

Determination of Strong-Phase Parameters in D→K_{S,L}^{0}π^{+}π^{-}. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2020; 124:241802. [PMID: 32639796 DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.124.241802] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2020] [Revised: 04/20/2020] [Accepted: 05/21/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
We report the most precise measurements to date of the strong-phase parameters between D^{0} and D[over ¯]^{0} decays to K_{S,L}^{0}π^{+}π^{-} using a sample of 2.93 fb^{-1} of e^{+}e^{-} annihilation data collected at a center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider. Our results provide the key inputs for a binned model-independent determination of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa angle γ/ϕ_{3} with B decays. Using our results, the decay model sensitivity to the γ/ϕ_{3} measurement is expected to be between 0.7° and 1.2°, approximately a factor of three smaller than that achievable with previous measurements, based on the studies of the simulated data. The improved precision of this work ensures that measurements of γ/ϕ_{3} will not be limited by knowledge of strong phases for the next decade. Furthermore, our results provide critical input for other flavor-physics investigations, including charm mixing, other measurements of CP violation, and the measurement of strong-phase parameters for other D-decay modes.

Abstract
By analyzing a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.93 fb^{-1} collected at a center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV with the BESIII detector, we measure for the first time the absolute branching fraction of the D^{+}→ημ^{+}ν_{μ} decay to be B_{D^{+}→ημ^{+}ν_{μ}}=(10.4±1.0_{stat}±0.5_{syst})×10^{-4}. Using the world averaged value of B_{D^{+}→ηe^{+}ν_{e}}, the ratio of the two branching fractions is determined to be B_{D^{+}→ημ^{+}ν_{μ}}/B_{D^{+}→ηe^{+}ν_{e}}=0.91±0.13_{(stat+syst)}, which agrees with the theoretical expectation of lepton flavor universality within uncertainty. By studying the differential decay rates in five four-momentum transfer intervals, we obtain the product of the hadronic form factor f_{+}^{η}(0) and the c→d Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element |V_{cd}| to be f_{+}^{η}(0)|V_{cd}|=0.087±0.008_{stat}±0.002_{syst}. Taking the input of |V_{cd}| from the global fit in the standard model, we determine f_{+}^{η}(0)=0.39±0.04_{stat}±0.01_{syst}. On the other hand, using the value of f_{+}^{η}(0) calculated in theory, we find |V_{cd}|=0.242±0.022_{stat}±0.006_{syst}±0.033_{theory}.

Abstract
By analyzing a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.93 fb^{-1} collected at a center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV with the BESIII detector, we measure for the first time the absolute branching fraction of the D^{+}→ημ^{+}ν_{μ} decay to be B_{D^{+}→ημ^{+}ν_{μ}}=(10.4±1.0_{stat}±0.5_{syst})×10^{-4}. Using the world averaged value of B_{D^{+}→ηe^{+}ν_{e}}, the ratio of the two branching fractions is determined to be B_{D^{+}→ημ^{+}ν_{μ}}/B_{D^{+}→ηe^{+}ν_{e}}=0.91±0.13_{(stat+syst)}, which agrees with the theoretical expectation of lepton flavor universality within uncertainty. By studying the differential decay rates in five four-momentum transfer intervals, we obtain the product of the hadronic form factor f_{+}^{η}(0) and the c→d Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element |V_{cd}| to be f_{+}^{η}(0)|V_{cd}|=0.087±0.008_{stat}±0.002_{syst}. Taking the input of |V_{cd}| from the global fit in the standard model, we determine f_{+}^{η}(0)=0.39±0.04_{stat}±0.01_{syst}. On the other hand, using the value of f_{+}^{η}(0) calculated in theory, we find |V_{cd}|=0.242±0.022_{stat}±0.006_{syst}±0.033_{theory}.

Abstract
Self-antigen presentation outside the central nervous system has crucial role regarding self-proteins tolerance and autoimmunity, leading to neuroinflammation. Self-antigen with strong-binding affinity is considered to be pathogenic. We aim to investigate whether strong-binding affinity self-antigen load is associated with early/late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD). A total of 54 AD samples (22 early-onset, 32 late-onset) underwent next-generation sequencing (NGS) for whole-exome sequencing. Genotypes of HLA class I genes and germline mutations were obtained for estimation of the binding affinity and number of self-antigens. For each patient, self-antigen load was estimated by adding up the number of self-antigens with strong-binding affinity. Self-antigen load of early-onset AD was significantly higher than late-onset AD (mean ± SD: 6115 ± 2430 vs 4373 ± 2492; p = 0.011). An appropriate cutoff value 2503 for dichotomizing self-antigen load was obtained by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Patients were then dichotomized into high or low self-antigen load groups in the binary multivariate logistic regression analysis. Adjusted odds ratio of the high self-antigen load (>2503) was 14.22 (95% CI, 1.22-165.70; p = 0.034) after controlling other covariates including gender, education, ApoE status, and baseline CDR score. This is the first study using NGS to investigate germline mutations generated self-antigen load in AD. As strong-binding affinity self-antigen is considered to be pathogenic in neuroinflammation, our finding indicated that self-antigen load did have a role in the pathogenesis of AD owing to its association with neuroinflammation. This finding may also contribute to further research regarding disease mechanism and development of novel biomarkers or treatment.

Abstract
Both Taiwan and Korea are developed countries with different cultures. When encountering the issue of dementia, such sociobehavioral factors have various and different impacts on dementia. We aim to assess the cross-national difference of sociobehavioral impact on cognitive preservation in Alzheimer's disease (AD) between Taiwan and Korea.A uniformed data set was administered regarding AD. We evaluated annual cognitive function using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Clinical Dementia Rating sum of box (CDR-SB), and CDR for 2 continuous years. Annual change of scores compared with the baseline indicated cognitive change as preservation or decline. We recorded the sociodemographic variables of interest, including education duration, level of independence, living situation, and marital status. Step-wise regression analyses were performed to determine the independent factors for cognitive preservation.In total, 503 participants in Taiwan and 77 participants in Korea were recruited from 2011 to 2014. The baseline demographic characteristics were different in levels of education, living situation, level of independence, and dementia severity between the 2 countries. With follow-up for 2 years, cognitive preservation was associated with CDR staging at baseline and independence [adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 1.657, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) = 1.109-2.477, P = .014] in the Taiwanese population, whereas cognitive preservation was related to living alone (adjusted OR = 3.316, 95% CI = 1.135-9.687, P = .028) in the Korean population. The levels of education showed inconsistency in cognitive preservation in both countries.Cognitive preservation was associated with independence in the Taiwanese population, whereas cognitive preservation was related to living alone in the Korean population. By practicing relevant socioeconomic support, this might contribute to lessening the negative impact of dementia and preserving cognition in different countries.

Abstract
A partial-wave analysis is performed for the process e^{+}e^{-}→K^{+}K^{-}π^{0}π^{0} at the center-of-mass energies ranging from 2.000 to 2.644 GeV. The data samples of e^{+}e^{-} collisions, collected by the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider with a total integrated luminosity of 300 pb^{-1}, are analyzed. The total Born cross sections for the process e^{+}e^{-}→K^{+}K^{-}π^{0}π^{0}, as well as the Born cross sections for the subprocesses e^{+}e^{-}→ϕπ^{0}π^{0}, K^{+}(1460)K^{-}, K_{1}^{+}(1400)K^{-}, K_{1}^{+}(1270)K^{-}, and K^{*+}(892)K^{*-}(892), are measured versus the center-of-mass energy. The corresponding results for e^{+}e^{-}→K^{+}K^{-}π^{0}π^{0} and ϕπ^{0}π^{0} are consistent with those of BABAR with better precision. By analyzing the cross sections for the four subprocesses, K^{+}(1460)K^{-}, K_{1}^{+}(1400)K^{-}, K_{1}^{+}(1270)K^{-}, and K^{*+}(892)K^{*-}(892), a structure with mass M=(2126.5±16.8±12.4) MeV/c^{2} and width Γ=(106.9±32.1±28.1) MeV is observed with an overall statistical significance of 6.3σ, although with very limited significance in the subprocesses e^{+}e^{-}→K_{1}^{+}(1270)K^{-} and K^{*+}(892)K^{*-}(892). The resonant parameters of the observed structure suggest it can be identified with the ϕ(2170), thus the results provide valuable input to the internal nature of the ϕ(2170).

Abstract
The process of e^{+}e^{-}→pp[over ¯] is studied at 22 center-of-mass energy points (sqrt[s]) from 2.00 to 3.08 GeV, exploiting 688.5 pb^{-1} of data collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII collider. The Born cross section (σ_{pp[over ¯]}) of e^{+}e^{-}→pp[over ¯] is measured with the energy-scan technique and it is found to be consistent with previously published data, but with much improved accuracy. In addition, the electromagnetic form-factor ratio (|G_{E}/G_{M}|) and the value of the effective (|G_{eff}|), electric (|G_{E}|), and magnetic (|G_{M}|) form factors are measured by studying the helicity angle of the proton at 16 center-of-mass energy points. |G_{E}/G_{M}| and |G_{M}| are determined with high accuracy, providing uncertainties comparable to data in the spacelike region, and |G_{E}| is measured for the first time. We reach unprecedented accuracy, and precision results in the timelike region provide information to improve our understanding of the proton inner structure and to test theoretical models which depend on nonperturbative quantum chromodynamics.

Hsieh SW, Liu MW, Huang LC, Wu MN, Yang YH. The Impact of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Gene on Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia in Alzheimer’s Disease. Curr Alzheimer Res 2020; 16:1269-1275. [DOI: 10.2174/1567205017666200103114550] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2019] [Revised: 12/12/2019] [Accepted: 12/30/2019] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Background:
The Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) gene has drawn attention for its
possible role in regulating the degradation of β-amyloid (Aβ), yet its role in affecting the cognitive and
psychiatric symptoms of Alzheimer`s Disease (AD) patients has yet to be elucidated.
Objective:
This study aimed to investigate whether the ACE gene acts as a risk factor of Behavioral and
Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD) in the AD population.
Method:
The genotyping of ACE and Apolipoprotein E gene with allele ε4(APOEε4) was determined
among 360s clinically diagnosed AD patients. Symptoms and severity of BPSD were evaluated annually
via Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI).
Results:
At the base measurement of the first year of patient recruitment, there were no significant contributory
risk factors to NPI score. In the two-year follow-up, ACE insertion polymorphism showed a
significant risk (adjusted odds ratio=1.65, 95% CI=1.1- 2.5, p=0.019) of progression of NPI total score.
Conclusion:
ACE gene is involved in aggravating BPSD among AD patients.

Abstract
Using a total of 11.0 fb^{-1} of e^{+}e^{-} collision data with center-of-mass energies between 4.009 and 4.6 GeV and collected with the BESIII detector at BEPCII, we measure fifteen exclusive cross sections and effective form factors for the process e^{+}e^{-}→Ξ^{-}Ξ[over ¯]^{+} by means of a single baryon-tag method. After performing a fit to the dressed cross section of e^{+}e^{-}→Ξ^{-}Ξ[over ¯]^{+}, no significant ψ(4230) or ψ(4260) resonance is observed in the Ξ^{-}Ξ[over ¯]^{+} final states, and upper limits at the 90% confidence level on Γ_{ee}B for the processes ψ(4230)/ψ(4260)→Ξ^{-}Ξ[over ¯]^{+} are determined. In addition, an excited Ξ baryon at 1820 MeV/c^{2} is observed with a statistical significance of 6.2-6.5σ by including the systematic uncertainty, and the mass and width are measured to be M=(1825.5±4.7±4.7) MeV/c^{2} and Γ=(17.0±15.0±7.9) MeV, which confirms the existence of the J^{P}=3/2^{-} state Ξ(1820).

Abstract
Objective: To explore the role of pulmonary arterial pressure in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) phenotypes based on cluster analysis and its prognostic value. Methods: Three hundred and nineteen patients admitted to Beijing Chaoyang Hospital and Xuanwu Hospital from April 2013 to April 2016 were recruited in the study. All the patients were older than 40 years old and in stable COPD. One-year follow-up was performed and the endpoint was acute exacerbation of COPD or all-cause mortality. Age, body mass index (BMI), smoking index, history of exacerbation, modified British medical research council (mMRC), forced expiratory volume in first second (FEV(1)), pulmonary arterial pressure and right ventricular transverse diameter measured by echocardiography were selected as cluster indicators to classify patients, survival analysis was performed. Results: Eight cluster indexes were converted into four independent principal components by principal component analysis (PCA), with a cumulative contribution rate of 70.1%. The extracted principal components were used for cluster analysis. Patients were divided into four categories, each contained different GOLD grades and had statistically significant differences in age, symptoms, degree of pulmonary function impairment and pulmonary arterial pressure (all P<0.001). The four categories were: class 1: young, pulmonary function damage was medium, lower pulmonary arterial pressure, good prognosis; class 2: elderly, pulmonary function damage was mild, higher pulmonary arterial pressure, poor prognosis; class 3: young, pulmonary function damage was serious, normal pulmonary arterial pressure, the best prognosis; class 4: elderly, pulmonary function damage was medium, pulmonary arterial pressure increased significantly, the worst prognosis. Conclusion: Cluster analysis based on pulmonary artery pressure can be used to identify COPD patients with different risk of acute exacerbation or death, suggesting that pulmonary hypertension as a COPD phenotype plays a role in prognostic assessment.

Abstract
Current treatment paradigm in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) involves multiple approaches combining pharmacological and nonpharmacological intervention to mitigate the clinical symptoms, slow the progressive loss of cognitive and functional abilities, or modify the disease course. So far, beyond anti-cholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs), donepezil, rivastigmine, galantamine, and antagonist of N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptor, there are no newly approved medicines to treat AD. Under pharmacological treatment, the personal characteristic and the intra-individual therapeutic evaluations to examine various cognitive domains, behavioral and psychological problems, and global function should be considered when choosing any of AChEIs. The use of optimal dosage referring to the expected clinical outcomes and currently reported deficits from patient with AD has become an important issue in clinical treatment. Establishing and maintaining a strong therapeutic alliance to physician, patient, and caregiver is crucial and central to the comprehensive care in AD.

Abstract
Patients with chronic kidney disease have a greater risk of cognitive impairment. Cerebral uremic solute accumulation causes uremic encephalopathy; however, the association of protein-bound uremic toxins on cognitive function remains unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the association of two protein-bound uremic toxins, namely indoxyl sulfate (IS) and p-cresyl sulfate (PCS), on cognitive function in patients receiving hemodialysis (HD) for at least 90 days. Circulating free form IS and PCS were quantified by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Cognitive Abilities Screening Instrument (CASI) were used to evaluate cognitive function. In total, 260 HD patients were recruited with a mean age of 58.1 ± 11.3 years, of which, 53.8% were men, 40% had diabetes, and 75.4% had hypertension. The analysis revealed that both free IS and free PCS were negatively associated with the CASI score and MMSE. After controlling for confounders, circulating free IS levels persisted to be negatively associated with MMSE scores [β = −0.62, 95% confidence interval (CI): −1.16 to −0.08] and CASI scores (β = −1.97, 95% CI: −3.78 to −0.16), mainly in the CASI domains of long-term memory, mental manipulation, language ability, and spatial construction. However, there was no correlation between free PCS and total MMSE or total CASI scores after controlling for confounders. In conclusion, circulating free form IS, but not PCS is associated with lower cognitive function test scores in HD patients. Thus, a further study is needed to evaluate whether a decrease in free IS levels can slow down cognitive decline in HD patients.

Abstract
By analyzing a 2.93 fb^{-1} data sample of e^{+}e^{-} collisions, recorded at a center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV with the BESIII detector operated at the BEPCII collider, we report the first observation of the semileptonic D^{+} transition into the axial-vector meson D^{+}→K[over ¯]_{1}(1270)^{0}e^{+}ν_{e} with a statistical significance greater than 10σ. Its decay branching fraction is determined to be B[D^{+}→K[over ¯]_{1}(1270)^{0}e^{+}ν_{e}]=(2.30±0.26_{-0.21}^{+0.18}±0.25)×10^{-3}, where the first and second uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively, and the third originates from the input branching fraction of K[over ¯]_{1}(1270)^{0}→K^{-}π^{+}π^{0}.

Observation of the Leptonic Decay D^{+}→τ^{+}ν_{τ}. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2019; 123:211802. [PMID: 31809130 DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.123.211802] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
We report the first observation of D^{+}→τ^{+}ν_{τ} with a significance of 5.1σ. We measure B(D^{+}→τ^{+}ν_{τ})=(1.20±0.24_{stat}±0.12_{syst})×10^{-3}. Taking the world average B(D^{+}→μ^{+}ν_{μ})=(3.74±0.17)×10^{-4}, we obtain R_{τ/μ}=Γ(D^{+}→τ^{+}ν_{τ})/Γ(D^{+}→μ^{+}ν_{μ})=3.21±0.64_{stat}±0.43_{syst}., which is consistent with the standard model expectation of lepton flavor universality. Using external inputs, our results give values for the D^{+} decay constant f_{D^{+}} and the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element |V_{cd}| that are consistent with, but less precise than, other determinations.

Curr Alzheimer Res 2019; 15:1354-1360. [PMID: 30277152 DOI: 10.2174/1567205015666181002141013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2018] [Revised: 09/02/2018] [Accepted: 09/25/2018] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cerebrovascular pathologies and hypertension could play a vital role in Alzheimer disease (AD) progression. However, whether cerebrovascular pathologies and hypertension accelerate the AD progression through an independent or interaction effect is unknown. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of the interactions of cerebrovascular pathologies and hypertension on AD progression. METHOD A retrospective longitudinal study was conducted to compare AD courses in patients with different severities of cerebral White Matter Changes (WMCs) in relation to hypertension. Annual comprehensive psychometrics were performed. WMCs were rated using a rating scale for Age-related WMCs (ARWMC). RESULTS In total, 278 patients with sporadic AD were enrolled in this study. The mean age of the patients was 76.6 ± 7.4 years, and 166 patients had hypertension. Among AD patients with hypertension, those with deterioration in clinical dementia rating-sum of box (CDR-SB) and CDR had significantly severe baseline ARWMC scales in total (CDR-SB: 5.8 vs. 3.6, adjusted P = 0.04; CDR: 6.4 vs. 4.4, adjusted P = 0.04) and frontal area (CDR-SB: 2.4 vs. 1.2, adjusted P = 0.01; CDR: 2.4 vs. 1.7, adjusted P < 0.01) compared with those with no deterioration in psychometrics after adjustment for confounders. By contrast, among AD patients without hypertension, no significant differences in ARWMC scales were observed between patients with and without deterioration. CONCLUSION The effect of cerebrovascular pathologies on AD progression between those with and without hypertension might differ. An interaction but not independent effect of hypertension and WMCs on the progression of AD is possible.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics and the effect of targeted drug therapy of portopulmonary hypertension (PoPH). Methods: A total of 5 patients with PoPH who were admitted to the Department of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine of Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2018 were included. The clinical information and follow-up data were collected. The patient's medical history, clinical manifestations, right cardiac catheterization (RHC), classification of cardiac and hepatic function, treatment and prognosis were analyzed. Results: Among the 5 patients with PoPH, 3 were male and 2 were female. The median age was 56 years. The underlying diseases of portal hypertension were all cirrhosis, and 1 patient combined with hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS). Dyspnea was the main respiratory symptom in all the 5 patients, and the median time from symptom onset to diagnosis was 1 year (5 months to 8 years). RHC was used as the diagnostic criteria for pulmonary hypertension in all patients, with a median mean pulmonary arterial pressure of 42 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) and a median pulmonary vascular resistance of 538 dyn·s·cm(-5). 3 cases were in Child-Pugh liver function grade B, and 2 were in grade A. The hepatic reserve function was not matched with the severity of cardiac insufficiency. Liver transplantation was performed in 1 patient, whose right ventricular dysfunction can be alleviated by targeted drug therapy after operation. All the 5 patients received targeted drug therapy of pulmonary hypertension. In the 3 patients who were regularly treated with targeted drugs and followed up on time, the cardiac function was improved during the follow-up period. There was no improvement or even deterioration of cardiac function in 2 patients who were not regularly treated or followed up. One patient died after liver transplantation. The cause of death was severe pneumonia and right ventricular dysfunction. The survival time after transplantation was 1 year. Conclusions: In PoPH patients, the hepatic reserve function is not matched with the heart function classification. PoPH can coexist with HPS. Regular application of pulmonary hypertension targeting drugs may benefit patients with PoPH.
