To establish mouse models of Candidemia, and investigates statistically significant polypeptide peaks to provide auxiliary diagnosis of this disease. A total of 170 specific pathogen free adult male ICR mice with body mass of 27-30 g were completely randomly divided into Candida albicans infection group (80), Candida parapsilosis infection group (80) and the normal control group (10), and the two kinds of Candidemia mouse models were established via tail vein injection. The serum samples were analyzed by Matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization time of flight mass spectrometry and relevant software, and the polypeptide peaks with significant differences were screened to establish diagnostic models. A total of 65 differential polypeptide peaks were obtained compared with the Candida albicans infection group and the normal control group. Combined with m/z 1 100.4, 1 581.0, 3 808.0 as differential polypeptide peaks to established the diagnostic model, the sensitivity was 95.24%(40/42), the specificity was 90.63%(29/32), the accuracy rate was 93.24%(69/74), and the AUC value of the ROC curve was 0.972(95: 0.941-1.000). A total of 73 differential polypeptide peaks were obtained compared with Candida parapsilosis infection group and the normal control group. Combined with m/z 1 433.2, 1 148.5, 4 093.5, 4 522.2, 8 140.9, 8 234.6 as differential polypeptide peaks to established the diagnostic model, the sensitivity was 95%(38/40), the specificity was 81.25%(26/32), the accuracy rate was 88.89%(64/72), and the AUC value of the ROC curve was 0.953(95: 0.903-1.000). A total of 78 differential polypeptide peaks were obtained compared with Candida albicans infection group and Candida parapsilosis infection group. Combined with m/z 2 736.9, 8 091.5, 8 153.7 as differential polypeptide peaks to established the diagnostic model, the accuracy of distinguishing C. albicans infection from C. parapsilosis infection was 98.78%(81/82). Successfully screened the differential polypeptides and established the related diagnostic models. Which is helpful to find serum biomarkers for the auxiliary diagnosis of Candidemia, and provides a basis for the early diagnosis and the rational use of drugs.

Background: The Centiloid framework was developed to harmonize amyloid-PET quantification across radiotracers and processing pipelines to facilitate data sharing and merging; it is now widely used across research and clinical trials. As we just completed the quantification of 10,361 amyloid-PET scans from the largest "real-world" study of amyloid-PET (IDEAS) and are about to release the data, we aimed to compare the distribution of IDEAS Centiloid values with other available datasets.

Method: In IDEAS, amyloid scans were acquired across 343 facilities and centrally processed at UCSF using a PET-only pipeline.

Background: Preclinical Alzheimer disease (AD) describes a period prior to symptom onset during which pathology begins to accumulate. Recent development of neuroimaging- and biofluid- measures of AD pathology has allowed for in vivo quantification of preclinical pathological burden. Prior work estimated that by age 85, only one third of older adults remain free of amyloid and AD-related atrophy.

Background: Insulin resistance (IR) is associated with abnormal tau-phosphorylation and IR markers in AD brain co-localize with neurofibrillary tangles. One strategy to overcome brain IR is to increase brain insulin is via intranasal insulin (INI) administration using specialized intranasal devices that deliver insulin to the brain. Our recent INI vs.

Background: Unexplained exertional dyspnoea without significant elevation of natriuretic peptides is common. One of the causes might be early heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).

Aims: This study aimed to characterize patients with exertional dyspnoea and normal/near-to-normal N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels with regard to early stages of HFpEF and non-cardiac causes.
