Abstract
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the clinical significance of plasma p-amyloid 1-40 (Aβ1-40) in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD).
METHODS
In this retrospective study, the clinical data of 305 patients, with or without Alzheimer's disease (AD), who were treated at the Affiliated Hospital of Youjiang Medical University for Nationalities and the People's Hospital of Baise between January 2018 and December 2021 were analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups: an AD group (n=147) and a non-AD group (without AD, n=158 cases). Blood test indices, including serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), creatinine (CRE), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), and plasma β-amyloid 1-40 were collected and compared between the two groups.
RESULTS
The plasma β-amyloid 1-40 in the AD group was (3.71±3.45) mol/L, which was significantly higher than (2.8±1.35) mmol/L in the non-AD group (P<0.05). Similarly, hsCRP expression was significantly higher in the AD group than that in the non-AD group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in AST, ALT, UA, T-tau, NFL or Cr levels between the two groups (all P>0.05). Moreover, univariate regression analysis showed that plasma β-amyloid 1-40 and hsCRP were significantly correlated with AD. Multiple regression analysis demonstrated that plasma p-amyloid 1-40 (P<0.0001) and hsCRP (P=0.002) were independent predictors of AD.
CONCLUSION
Plasma p-amyloid 1-40 and hsCRP are closely related to AD, and may serve as important clinical predictors of AD.
