The bridging integrator 1 Gene rs7561528 polymorphism contributes to Alzheimer's disease susceptibility in East Asian and Caucasian populations.

Genetic variants of the bridging integrator 1 (BIN1) at the rs7561528 single nucleotide polymorphism were implicated in increased risk of Alzheimer's disease in several case-control association studies. However, the studies have reported apparently conflicting results. Here, we searched the PubMed and Google Scholar databases.

[Spiral computed tomography imaging of internal carotid artery diameter: a report of 260 cases].

Objective: To explore the diameter of internal carotid artery by arterial phase imaging of multi-slice spiral computed tomography (CT).

Methods: A total of 260 routine brain CT scans of the examiner were performed. And the arterial phase images of carotid artery were acquired, observed and measured through a three-dimensional reconstruction workstation.
