However, exploring brain activity in a resting state offers valuable insights into spontaneous neural processes unaffected by task-specific influences. Objective: To investigate the relationship between self-care practices, cognitive function, and patterns of brain activity in healthy older adults, taking into account predictions from aging brain models.Methodology77 older adults aged 61 to 87 completing a self-care practices questionnaire, neuropsychological tests, and resting-state electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings. Participants were classified into two groups according to their self-care practices: traditional self-care (T-SC) and developmental self-care (D-SC).ResultsAlthough neuropsychological tests did not yield significant differences between the D-SC and T-SC groups, patterns of brain activity revealed distinct behaviors. The T-SC group demonstrated patterns more consistent with established aging brain models, contrasting with the D-SC group, which exhibited brain activity akin to that observed in younger adults. Specifically, the T-SC group displayed hyperactivation related to memory and executive function performance, alongside heightened alpha power in posterior regions. Furthermore, bilateral frontal activation in the beta band was evident.ConclusionsThe findings suggest a nuanced relationship between self-care practices and brain activity in older adults. While the T-SC group demonstrated brain activity patterns consistent with conservative aging, indicating the preservation of typical aging characteristics, the D-SC group displayed activity suggestive of a potential protective effect. This effect may be linked to self-care strategies that foster development and resilience in cognitive aging.","PeriodicalId":12450,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141547658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The brain consumes more oxygen than any other organs, so it is more easily to be affected by hypoxia. Hypoxia has long been recognized as one of the possible causes of AD and other neurodegenerative diseases, but the exact mechanism has not been clarified. In this review, we will elucidate the connection between hypoxia-inducible factors-1α and AD, including its contribution to AD and its possible protective effects. Additionally, we will discuss the relationship between oxidative stress and AD as evidence show that oxidative stress acts on AD-related pathogenic factors such as mitochondrial dysfunction, Aβ deposition, inflammation, etc. Currently, there is no cure for AD. Given the close association between hypoxia, oxidative stress, and AD, along with current research on the protective effects of antioxidants against AD, we speculate that antioxidants could be a potential therapeutic approach for AD and worth further study.","PeriodicalId":12450,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141718415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The identification of biomarkers for AD is crucial and urgent to facilitate the diagnosis and intervention. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of acyl-Coenzyme A thioesterase 7 (ACOT7) as a serum biomarker for the prediction of AD. In our study, we observed a significant increase in ACOT7 expression in patients (<jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 366) with AD and animal (<jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 8–12) models of AD, compared to the control group.

The analysis of the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) showed that the area under the curve (AUC) for ACOT7 was 0.83 (95% confidence intervals: 0.80–0.86). The optimal cut-off point of 62.5 pg./mL was selected with the highest sum of sensitivity and specificity. The diagnostic accuracy of serum ACOT7 for AD was 77% (95% confidence intervals: 72–82%), with a sensitivity of 80% (95% confidence intervals: 75–84%) and a specificity of 74% (95% confidence intervals: 69–79%). Moreover, the ROC analysis showed that the AUC of Aβ<jats:sub>42/40</jats:sub> ratio is 0.70, and the diagnostic accuracy was 72%, with 69% sensitivity and 76% specificity. Compared with the AD traditional marker Aβ<jats:sub>42/40</jats:sub> ratio, ACOT7 shows better superiority as a new serum candidate biomarker of AD. By suppressing the ACOT7 gene, our study provides evidence of the involvement of ACOT7 in the metabolism of amyloid precursor protein (APP), resulting in alterations in the expression levels of Aβ<jats:sub>42</jats:sub>, BACE1 and βCTF. ACOT7 has the ability to modulate the amyloidogenic pathway of APP metabolism, while it does not have an impact on the non-amyloidogenic pathway. In conclusion, the findings of our study suggest that serum ACOT7 may serve as a promising and non-invasive biomarker for AD.","PeriodicalId":12450,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141547661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Inverse-variance weighted (IVW) MR analyses were conducted to estimate associations of OS with PD. Reverse MR analysis was further performed to predict the causal effects of PD on the above OS biomarkers.ResultsAs for PD, the IVW method suggested that the Zinc (Zn) levels was significantly associated with PD (OR = 1.107, 95% CI 1.013–1.211; <jats:italic>p</jats:italic> = 0.025), which is consistent with results from the weighted median analyses. Moreover, the results remained consistent and robust in the sensitivity analysis. However, there were no significant associations of catalase, glutathione peroxidases, superoxide dismutase, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin B12, folate, copper, or iron with PD. As for OS, our reverse MR analysis also did not support a causal effect of liability to PD on OS.ConclusionThe MR study supported the causal effect of Zn on PD.

In the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019, there are three risk factors judged to have evidence for a causal link to Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias: smoking, high body-mass index (HBMI), and high fasting plasma glucose (HFPG).ObjectiveThis study aimed to analyze trends in AD mortality and the relevant burden across China from 1990 to 2019, as well as their correlation with age, period, and birth cohort.MethodsThe data were extracted from the GBD 2019. Trends in AD mortality attributable to metabolic risks (HFPG and HBMI) and smoking were analyzed using Joinpoint regression. The age-period-cohort (APC) model was used to evaluate cohort and period effects.ResultsFrom 1990 to 2019, the overall age-standardized mortality rate of AD increased, especially in women. There was an increase in AD mortality due to smoking in the net drift, and it was more significant in women (0.46, 95%CI = [0.09, 0.82]) than men (−0.03, 95%CI = [−0.11, 0.05]).

Preprocessing of the rs-fMRI data was performed, and this was followed by dFNC analysis to obtain the dFNC metrics. Compared the dFNC and dFNC metrics within different states between mismatch and match group, we analyzed the correlation between dFNC metrics and cognitive function. Finally, to analyze the reasons for the differences between the mismatch and match groups, the CSVD imaging features of each patient were quantified with the assistance of the uAI Discover system.ResultsThe 149 CSVD patients included 20 cases of “Type I mismatch,” 51 cases of Type I match, 38 cases of “Type II mismatch,” and 40 cases of “Type II match.” Using dFNC analysis, we found that the fraction time (FT) and mean dwell time (MDT) of State 2 differed significantly between “Type I match” and “Type I mismatch”; the FT of States 1 and 4 differed significantly between “Type II match” and “Type II mismatch.” Correlation analysis revealed that dFNC metrics in CSVD patients correlated with executive function and information processing speed among the various cognitive functions.

Intact awareness is critical to performance on complex everyday activities and can be evaluated with functional cognition assessments.","PeriodicalId":12450,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141526923","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
