A comprehensive intervention (CI) on patients with Alzheimer's disease was assessed by measuring plasmabrain-derived neurotrophic factor (pBDNF) and ADAS-Cog score (ADAS-Cogscore) before, immediately after (FU1), and 6 (FU2) and 24 months (FU3) after the CI. Baseline pBDNF was higher in patients with moderate AD (but not mild AD) than in healthy controls. At FU1, pBDNF and ADAS-Cogscore decreased significantly. At FU2 and FU3, patients' cognitive status worsened and pBDNF further increased versus baseline, suggesting that CI interruption may be a stress event that prevents return to homeostasis. CI exerted positive short-term effects, but more information is needed on long-term consequences.
通过在综合干预(CI)前、干预刚结束后(随访1,FU1)、干预后6个月(随访2,FU2)和24个月(随访3,FU3)测量血浆脑源性神经营养因子(pBDNF)和阿尔茨海默病评定量表认知部分得分(ADAS-Cog得分),对阿尔茨海默病患者的综合干预进行了评估。中度阿尔茨海默病患者(而非轻度阿尔茨海默病患者)的基线pBDNF高于健康对照。在随访1时,pBDNF和ADAS-Cog得分显著下降。在随访2和随访3时,患者的认知状态恶化,且与基线相比pBDNF进一步升高,这表明CI中断可能是一个阻碍恢复内稳态的应激事件。CI产生了积极的短期效果,但关于长期后果还需要更多信息。
