Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a multifactorial systemic disease that is triggered, at least in part, by the accumulation of β-amyloid (Aβ) peptides in the brain, but it also depends on immune system-mediated regulation. Recent studies suggest that B cells may play a role in AD development and point to the accumulation of clonally expanded B cells in AD patients. However, the specificity of the clonally expanded B cells is unknown, and the contribution of Aβ-specific B cells to AD pathology development is unclear.

Serum β-secretase 1 (sBACE1) activity in subjective cognitive decline: an exploratory study.

β-Secretase-1 (BACE1) plays a key role in the regulation of cerebral amyloid-β homeostasis, being involved in amyloidogenic and, as recently found, amyloidolytic pathways. Growing evidence indicates that increased serum BACE1 (sBACE1) activity might represent an early biomarker for Alzheimer's disease. Here, we tested the hypothesis that an increase in sBACE1 activity may already occur in individuals with subjective cognitive decline (SCD).

Experimental objectives were to create a chronic inflammatory model to evaluate the effects of persistent immune activation on metabolism, inflammation, and productivity in lactating dairy cows. Twelve lactating Holstein cows (631 ± 16 kg BW; 124 ± 15 DIM) were enrolled in a study with 2 experimental periods (P); during P1 (5 d), cows were fed ad libitum and baseline data were obtained. At the initiation of P2 (7 d), cows were assigned to 1 of 2 treatments: 1) saline-infused and pair-fed (PF; 5 mL intravenously (IV) sterile saline on d 1, 3, and 5; n = 6) or 2) lipopolysaccharide infused and ad libitum-fed (LPS; 0.

Objectives: We previously found that discrepancy between serum amyloid A (SAA) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels linked to the difference of SAA/CRP ratio in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis, and the ratio varied among different patients. This study aimed to determine why the SAA/CRP ratio differed among different patients.

Methods: The patients (n=466) with most of inflammatory diseases were enrolled.
