In this study, we tested the presence of CIC in the sera from an extended series of hospitalized AD patients, AD patients living in the community, from age-associated memory impairment (AAMI) subjects as well as from nursing home and community controls. We used two methods to measure CIC, C1q binding Elisa (C1qB-Elisa) and conglutinin binding (KgB-Elisa). The AD patients showed the highest frequency of positive findings and differed from the controls in KgB (42% vs. 17%) (Chisquare, p=0.01) and C1qB (30% vs. 11%) (p〈0.05). In severe AD, 14/19 patients were KgB positive and 11/19 were C1qB positive and differed from controls. The frequency of CIC for the patients with moderate or mild dementia, the AAMI subjects and controls was similar. In the multivariate linear regression analysis, high CIC values of the AD patients significantly associated with a long disease duration and a history of recurrent urinary infections but not with age, sex, hospitalization, or the Mini-Mental Status score. We conclude that AD patients with severe dementia frequently show CIC but those with mild or moderate disease do not. The CIC relate to a long disease duration and a history of recurrent urinary infections.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Published 2000Staff ViewISSN: 1432-1041Keywords: Key words Alzheimer's disease ; Selegiline ; NeuropathologySource: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: Chemistry and PharmacologyMedicineNotes: Abstract Background: A beneficial effect of selegiline (l-deprenyl) in Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been reported in several clinical studies. Methods: The brain tissue from 17 deceased patients, members of a double-blind clinical trial to assess the potential benefit of selegiline in AD, were analysed. Findings: In our study, the decrease in the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores during the progress of the disease had been significantly influenced by selegiline treatment. Prior to death, the MMSE scores were significantly higher in those patients receiving selegiline than in those receiving placebo. However, according to our results, none of the lesions critical for AD diagnosis, such as counts of senile/neuritic plaques, neurofibrillary tangles or β-A4 load, were influenced by the selegiline treatment. Interpretation: In conclusion, according to our study, mechanisms other than neuronal degeneration seen as lesions critical for AD diagnosis are influenced by selegiline treatment, leading to the functional benefit found in AD.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL:
