Objective: To understand the prevalence and associated risk factors of lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD) in Chinese diabetic patients and to construct a risk prediction model.
Methods: Data from the Diabetes Complications Warning Dataset of the China National Population Health Science Data Center were used. Logistic regression analysis was employed to identify related factors, and machine learning algorithms were used to construct the risk prediction model.
Results: The study population consisted of 3,000 patients, with 476 (15.9%) having LEAD. Multivariate regression analysis indicated that male gender, atherosclerosis, carotid artery stenosis, fatty liver, hematologic diseases, endocrine disorders, and elevated glycosylated serum proteins were independent risk factors for LEAD. The risk prediction models constructed using Logistic regression and MLP algorithms achieved moderate discrimination performance, with AUCs of 0.73 and 0.72, respectively.
Conclusion: Our study identified the risk factors for LEAD in Chinese diabetic patients, and the constructed risk prediction model can aid in the diagnosis of LEAD.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Columbia University Irving Medical Center, New York, NY, USA.
Background: Genetic studies indicate a causal role for microglia, the innate immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS), in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Despite the progress made in identifying genetic risk factors, such as CD33, and underlying molecular changes, there are currently limited treatment options for AD. Based on the immune-inhibitory function of CD33, we hypothesize that inhibition of CD33 activation may reverse microglial suppression and restore their ability to resolve inflammatory processes and mitigate pathogenic amyloid plaques, which may be neuroprotective.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University, Beijing, Beijing, China.
Background: Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is one of the most common nervous system diseases. Hypertension and neuroinflammation are considered important risk factors for the development of CSVD and white matter (WM) lesions.
Method: We used the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) as a model of early-onset CSVD and administered epimedium flavonoids (EF) for three months.

Division of Neurodegenerative Disorders, St. Boniface Hospital Albrechtsen Research Centre, Winnipeg, MB, Canada.
Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder primarily associated with aging, but manifests as a complex interplay of multiple factors. Decline in sex-hormones, particularly 17-beta estradiol, is linked to the aging process. The risk for onset of AD significantly increases with aging and loss of estradiol.

Alzheimers Dement

Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.
Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease and the most common form of dementia. Although AD is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ) plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), it's estimated that nearly half of AD cases might be attributed to modifiable risk factors and lifestyle-based interventions may offer promising preventative strategies to delay disease onset and progression. Polyphenolic derivatives easily found in foods like luteolin and curcumin have shown beneficial effects to counteract cognitive decline.

National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology, Obu, Aichi, Japan.
Background: The effectiveness of multimodal lifestyle interventions to prevent dementia is being validated. Since a relatively long period (∼2 years) is required for manifesting an impact on cognitive function, the exploration of an alternative marker that exhibits changes within a comparatively brief duration, thereby prognosticating future alterations in cognitive function, is needed. The decline in gait function is associated with cognitive impairment and is also a predictor of future cognitive decline.
