概括
视网膜的光学连贯性断层扫描 (OCT) 与非人类灵长类动物 (NHPs) 的认知功能没有相关性. 需要进一步的纵向研究来探索视网膜作为在临床前研究中认知衰退的生物标志物.
科学领域:
- 神经科学是一个神经科学.
- 眼科医生 眼科 眼科
- 灵长类动物研究研究
背景情况:
- 光学连贯断层扫描 (OCT) 测量了视网膜层的稀薄,作为神经退行症的潜在非侵入性生物标志物,包括阿尔茨海默病 (AD).
- 非人类灵长类动物 (NHPs) 是有价值的临床前模型,因为它们与人类有生理上的相似之处.
- 以前的研究还没有确定视网膜层厚度与NHPs认知衰退之间的联系.
研究的目的:
- 为了研究视网膜层厚度和老龄化 rhesus macaques 的认知功能之间的关系.
- 在临床前的NHP模型中评估OCT作为认知变化的非侵入性生物标志物的实用性.
主要方法:
- 110只成年 rhesus macaques 接受了全面的生物行为评估 (视觉敏,决策,记忆,解决问题,社会学习).
- 进行了OCT扫描,以测量视网膜层厚度在周围毛囊和黄斑区域.
- 皮尔森相关性和多重线性回归分析了视网膜层厚度和认知得分之间的关联.
主要成果:
- 老子的决策能力有所提高,但问题解决能力受损;其他认知功能保持稳定.
- 在NHP中的视网膜层厚度测量与人类数据相比.
- 在视网膜层厚度上没有观察到与年龄或行为相关的显著变化,在OCT测量中具有很高的可重复性.
结论:
- rhesus 表现出与人类相似的衰老模式和视网膜特征.
- 通过OCT进行视网膜成像显示出高可重现性,尽管在行为评估方面存在挑战.
- 建议进行长度研究,以验证视网膜在临床前NHP研究中作为认知功能的非侵入性生物标志物的潜力.

Blood Studies for Cardiovascular System I: Cardiac Biomarkers
749
Cardiac biomarkers are enzymes, proteins, and hormones released into the blood when cardiac cells are injured. They are powerful tools for triaging.
The essential diagnostic tools for detecting myocardial necrosis and monitoring individuals suspected of having acute coronary syndrome (ACS) include:
Troponins
Troponins, particularly cardiac troponins I and T, are the most precise and sensitive markers of myocardial injury. They are detectable within 4-6 hours of myocardial injury and remain...

Blood Studies for Cardiovascular System II: CRP, Hcy, and Cardiac Natriuretic Peptide Markers
516
Cardiac biomarkers are critical in diagnosing, prognosing, and managing cardiovascular diseases. Routine measurement of specific biomarkers such as B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), C-reactive protein (CRP), and homocysteine (Hcy) is common practice in clinical settings to evaluate heart function and predict cardiovascular events.
These markers indicate stress or strain on the heart muscle:
Natriuretic Peptides (BNP)
Cardiac myocytes produce these hormones in response to ventricular stretching...
