There are growing concerns regarding psychological complications associated with diabetes. Studies suggested that glucagon-like peptide 1 functional agonists (GLP-1 FAs), including glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) and dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor (DPP-4i), might hold promise in alleviating emotional disorders. Our objective was to assess the anxiolytic effects of GLP-1 FA in patients with diabetes. A systematic review and meta-analysis were undertaken. Searches were conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov for relevant articles up to March 1st, 2024. We included studies that compared the effects of GLP-1 FAs with control groups on anxiety levels. We analyzed the mean differences in anxiety rating scale scores from baseline to endpoint. Our review comprised 10 studies, with data from 7 RCTs being suitable for meta-analysis. Compared to the control group, GLP-1 RA significantly improved scores (SMD = 1.17; 95
China is facing a rapidly aging population,significantly impacting public health and healthcare systems.According to the"National Report on the Development of Undertakings for the Aged(2022),"there are 280 million people aged 60 years and above in China,accounting for 19.8%of the total population(Fig.1A)[1].This percentage has steadily increased from 14.3%in 2012.Projections indicate that by 2050,the elderly population in China will peak at approximately 487 million,representing 34.9%of the total population[2].In this perspective article,we analyze the current challenges facing China's dementia prevention and control system,with the aim of presenting policy recommendations to effectively address these issues.

Parkinson's disease (PD) was reported to be connected with thyroid diseases clinically, which might be a critical clew to immune pathogenesis of PD. However, there was no further research to study the pathogenesis correlation between PD and thyroid diseases. In this study, except for investigating the difference in thyroid hormone between PD and the control group, we explored genetic correlation between thyroid and PD. We tried to find their shared molecular pathway by analyzing the effect of PD risk genes on thyroid function. Interestingly, most of those 12 meaningful SNPs we found could affect PD and thyroid function through immune mechanism, which is consistent with our original conjecture and provides significant evidence for the immune pathogenesis of PD.
阿尔茨海默病(AD)是一种生物复合体和异质性疾病,不同的发病年龄、性别和各异的临床表型,都会导致AD临床诊断发生漏诊和误诊.近年来,研究者基于AD病理改变特点,结合磁共振成像分型并整合各种阳性生物标志物形成了新理念诊疗框架.即AD生物亚型.临床研究显示,通过AD生物亚型可以进一步理解AD病理生理作用机制;解释AD临床表型的异质性,对早期诊断很有帮助;可以帮助判断疾病进展和疗效评估;有助于未来AD药物试验方案设计和促进AD疾病修饰治疗研究.本文针对AD生物亚型的临床应用价值进行探讨.
Background : Repressor element 1-silencing transcription/neuron-restrictive silencer factor (REST) was considered as a new therapeutic target for neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, the relationships between AD and REST remain unclear. This study aimed to 1) examine plasma REST levels and REST gene AD patients, and 2) further explore the pathological relationships between REST protein levels and cognition decline in clinic, including medial temporal-lobe atrophy. Methods : Subjects (n=252, mean age 68.95±8.78 years old) were recruited in Beijing, China, and then divided into normal cognition (NC) group (n=89), amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) group (n=79) and AD group (n=84) according to diagnostic criteria. All subjects received neuropsychological assessments, laboratory tests and neuroimaging scans (MRI) at baseline. Plasma REST protein levels and distribution of the single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of REST were compared across the three groups. Correlation between cognitive function, neuro-image and REST level was calculated using multi-linear-regression analysis. medial temporal-lobe atrophy (need to add this method). Results : The plasma REST levels in both NC group (430.30±303.43) and aMCI group (414.27±263.39) were significantly higher than AD group ( NC vs AD, p=0.034; aMCI vs AD, p=0.033). There was no significant difference between NC and aMCI group (p=0.948). There was no significant difference among three groups on the distribution of the genotype distribution of Rs2227902 and Rs3976529 of REST gene. The REST level was correlated to left medial temporal-lobe atrophy index (r=0.306, p=0.023). After 6-month follow up, the REST level in NC group was positively related to the change scores of mini-mental state examination scale (MMSE) (r=0.289, p=0.02). Conclusion : Plasma REST protein declines in AD patients, which also associated with memory impairment and left temporal-lobe atrophy, which may have potential value for clinical diagnosis of AD.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and whether synthetic MRI can benefit diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Materials and Methods: Eighteen patients and eighteen age-matched normal controls (NCs) underwent MR examination. The mini-mental state examination (MMSE) scores were obtained from all patients. The whole brain volumetric characteristics, T1, T2, and proton density (PD) values of different cortical and subcortical regions were obtained. The volumetric characteristics and brain regional relaxation values between AD patients and NCs were compared using independent-samples t -test. The correlations between these quantitative parameters and MMSE score were assessed by the Pearson correlation in AD patients. Results: Although the larger volume of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), lower brain parenchymal volume (BPV), and the ratio of brain parenchymal volume to intracranial volume (BPV/ICV) were found in AD patients compared with NCs, there were no significant differences ( p > 0.05). T1 values of right insula cortex and T2 values of left hippocampus and right insula cortex were significantly higher in AD patients than in NCs, but T1 values of left caudate showed a reverse trend ( p < 0.05). As the MMSE score decreased in AD patients, the BPV and BPV/ICV decreased, while the volume of CSF and T1 values of bilateral insula cortex and bilateral hippocampus as well as T2 values of bilateral hippocampus increased ( p < 0.05). Conclusion: Synthetic MRI not only provides more information to differentiate AD patients from normal controls, but also reflects the disease severity of AD.
Parkinson's disease combined with thyroid dysfunction is not uncommon in clinical practice.Due to similarities and overlaps between their symptoms and an unclear cause-and-effect relationship, the diagnosis and treatment may be missed and delayed.Here we summarize the clinical manifestations of the two diseases and analyze the potential pathogenic mechanisms shared between them, in order to provide a reference for the understanding of their pathogenesis and for the treatment of Parkinson's disease.

As a noninvasive technique, transcranial sonography (TCS) of substantia nigra (SN) has gradually showed its effectiveness not only in diagnosis but also in understanding clinical features of Parkinson's Disease (PD). This study aimed to further evaluate TCS for clinical diagnosis of PD, and to explore the association between sonographic manifestations and visual hallucinations (VH). A total of 226 subjects including 141 PD patients and 85 controls were recruited. All participants received TCS. A series of rating scales to evaluate motor and non-motor symptoms were performed in PD patients. Results showed that 172 subjects were successfully assessed by TCS. The area of SN was greater in PD patients than that in controls (P < 0.001). As receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed, the best cutoff value for the larger SN echogenicity size was 23.5 mm2 (sensitivity 70.3%, specificity 77.0%). Patients with VH had larger SN area (P = 0.019), as well as higher Non-Motor Symptoms Scale (NMSS) scores (P = 0.018). Moreover, binary logistic regression analysis indicated that SN hyperechogenicity (odds ratio = 4.227, P = 0.012) and NMSS scores (odds ratio = 0.027, P = 0.042) could be the independent predictors for VH. In conclusion, TCS can be used as an auxiliary diagnostic tool for Parkinson's disease. Increased SN echogenicity is correlated with VH in Parkinson's disease, possibly because the brain stem is involved in the mechanism in the onset of VH. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings.
