Abstract:

Objective To analyze the changes of serum inflammatory factors and biochemical indices in patients with Alzheimer′s disease(AD) and vascular dementia(VD),and to provide a reference for clinical diagnosis. Methods A total of 37 AD patients,36 VD patients and 37 healthy subjects (control group) were enrolled. Serum inflammatory factors [interleukin 1 alpha (IL-1α),interleukin 1 beta(IL-1β),interleukin 6(IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α)] and biochemical indices such as free fatty acid(FFA),total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),apolipoprotein A(apo A),apolipoprotein B(apo B),apolipoprotein E(apo E),lipoprotein(a)[Lp(a)]and homocysteine (Hcy) were determined. The changes were evaluated among the groups. Results IL-1β,IL-6,TNF-α and Hcy were increased in AD and VD groups(P<0.05),and HDL-C and apo A were decreased(P<0.05). LDL-C in VD group were increased compared with control group(P<0.05),and TG in VD group was higher than those in AD and control groups(P<0.05). The other indices had no statistical significance among AD,VD and control groups(P>0.05). Conclusions The determination of serum inflammatory factors and biochemical indices might be helpful for the diagnosis of AD and VD.
