Objectives: Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a transmissible neurodegenerative disorder with a fatal outcome. The present study investigated the difference on demographic, clinical and laboratory data between the patients with sporadic CJD (sCJD) and genetic CJD (gCJD).

Methods: Thirty-eight patients with CJD were enrolled in this study, including 28 patients with sCJD and 10 patients with gCJD.

Objectives: Idiopathic rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) is characterized by vocalizations, jerks, and motor behaviors during REM sleep, often associated with REM-related dream content, which is considered a prodromal stage of α-synucleinopathy. The results of the Reading the Mind in the Eyes (RME) reflecting affective Theory of Mind (ToM) are inconsistent in α-synucleinopathy. The present study tried to investigate the RME in patients with iRBD.

Objectives: Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is the second most common type of neurodegenerative dementia following Alzheimer's disease dementia (ADD). This study investigated the diagnostic role of the gesture imitation test in detecting DLB and differentiating DLB from ADD.

Methods: A total of 63 patients with DLB, 93 patients with ADD, and 88 healthy controls were included in this study.

Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is the most common vascular cause of dementia, and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is an intermediate state between dementia and normal cognitive aging. The present study investigated the main imaging features of CSVD on different MCI subtypes in memory clinics. A total of 236 patients with MCI and 85 healthy controls were included.

Background: Alzheimer's disease dementia (ADD) is an important health problem in the world.

Objective: The present study investigated the validity and reliability of a new version of the Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB) named the FAB-phonemic (FAB-P).

Methods: A total of 76 patients with ADD, 107 patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), 37 patients with non-amnestic MCI (naMCI), and 123 healthy controls were included in this study.

Objectives: Tenascin-C (TNC) is upregulated in serum and cerebrospinal fluid after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and the deficiency of TNC could alleviate neuronal apoptosis and neuroinflammation after SAH. However, the specific mechanism of TNC regulating neuronal apoptosis and neuroinflammation after SAH is not well recognized. The aim of this study was to investigate whether PI3K/Akt/ NF-κB signaling pathway is involved in the regulation of TNC on early brain injury after SAH.
