Q: Context: The mechanism involved in AD is complex, which has prompted to develop compounds that could simultaneously interact with several potential targets. Here, we report a new synthesized compound SCR-1693 which is designed to target both AChE and calcium channels that are potential for AD therapy.', 'We investigated the effects of SCR-1693 on AChE and calcium channels, the effects of neuroprotection and anti-amnesia in icv-Aβ25-35-injected mice, and the potential mechanisms.', 'AChE activity assay, intracellular Ca(2+) content and calcium currents measurement, and Aβ25-35-induced cellular death determine were performed for validation of designed targets and neuroprotection of SCR-1693. Mice were orally administrated with SCR-1693 once daily after an Aβ25-35 injection. The Morris water maze and Y-maze test, and hippocampal protein detection were conducted on days 5-10, day 11, and day 8. The pyramidal neuron number, hippocampal AChE activity, and synaptic transmission were measured on day 12.', 'SCR-1693 acted as a selective, reversible, and noncompetitive inhibitor of AChE, and a nonselective voltage-gated calcium channel blocker. SCR-1693 also inhibited the increase of AChE activity in the mouse hippocampus. SCR-1693 was more effective than donepezil and memantine in preventing Aβ25-35-induced long-term and short-term memory impairment, maintaining the basal transmission of Schaffer collateral-CA1 synapses, and sustaining LTP in mouse hippocampus. SCR-1693 attenuated Aβ25-35-induced death of SH-SY5Y cell and the loss of hippocampal pyramidal neurons, and regulated Aβ25-35-induced signal cascade in neurons.
Answer: All these findings indicated that SCR-1693, as a double-target-direction agent, is a considerable candidate for AD therapy.

A: Does a novel acetylcholinesterase inhibitor and calcium channel blocker SCR-1693 improve Aβ25-35-impaired mouse cognitive function?

Q: Context: Psychomotor abnormalities characterize both unipolar (UP) depression and bipolar (BP) depression. We aimed to assess their neurobiological correlates in terms of motor activity (AL) and resting-state cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and investigate their association in BP, UP, and healthy controls (HC).', 'We enrolled 42 depressed patients (22 BP, 20 UP) and 19 HC matched for age, gender, education, income. AL and rCBF were objectively assessed with the use of wrist actigraphy and arterial spin labeling. Group differences and the association of AL and rCBF were computed.', 'Activity level was significantly reduced in patients, but no difference was found between BP and UP. Increased perfusion was found in BP compared with UP and HC, in multiple brain areas. We found positive correlations of rCBF and AL in BP and UP, in different parts of the insula and frontal regions. Only BP showed a cluster in the left precentral gyrus. In HC, only inverse correlations of AL and rCBF were found.
Answer: The differences in rCBF and in the localization of the clusters of positive AL/rCBF correlations between BP and UP suggest that different neural impairments may underlie motor symptoms in the two disorders, but finally converge in phenotypically similar manifestations.

A: Do distinct resting-state perfusion patterns underlie psychomotor retardation in unipolar vs. bipolar depression?

Q: Context: Hemodialysis (HD) patients are exposed to a high risk of death. Nutritional status has been recognized as a key factor for patient survival. Nutritional markers have been shown to improve after HD onset. In this study we have analyzed the dynamics of target weight (TGW) change and the evolution of other nutritional parameters during the first year of HD treatment and their influence on patients' outcomes.", 'We have analyzed a retrospective cohort of incident patients starting HD therapy between January 2000 and January 2009, and studied the values and changes in TGW, interdialytic weight gain (IDWG), predialysis systolic blood pressure, serum albumin, protein intake, C-reactive protein (CRP) from the start and first week (W1), W8, W12, W26 and W52 in patients who survived the first year of therapy. We have analyzed the relationship between TGW changes with other nutritional parameters and the patient survival.', 'Among the cohort including 363 patients starting HD therapy, 251 (age 65.8 ± 14.8 years, 93 female/158 male, diabetes 36%) survived at least 1 year after dialysis onset and were followed for 44.9 months. During the first 8 weeks, the TGW decreased by 6.5 ± 5.6% (initial TGW change). The initial TGW change was correlated with IDWG at W12 and W26, and with changes in serum albumin and nPNA (normalized protein equivalent of nitrogen appearance) between HD W1 and W52 (respectively +7.8 and +11.4%). From W8 to W52, the TGW increased by +1.9 ± 7.4% (secondary TGW change). The Kaplan-Meier analysis displayed a significantly better survival in patients above the median (+2.3%) of the secondary TGW change (respectively -3.6 ± 5.2% and +7.6 ± 4.5%). The two groups above and below this median were not different according to age, diabetes or cardiovascular event history but the patients above the median had a significant higher IDWG and protein intake. In the Cox model analysis the patient overall mortality was related to age (p < 0.0001), to the secondary TGW change (p = 0.0001), and to the CRP level at W52 (p < 0.0001).
Answer: The initial fluid removal was related to nutritional markers. The secondary TGW change during the first year of HD treatment calculated after the initial phase of fluid removal was identified as a strong predictor of survival. It was associated with a better food intake whereas the patient case mix was not different. These data highlight the importance of nutrition and food intake in the first year of dialysis therapy and the need for nutritional follow-up and support in incident HD patients. It stresses the need in understanding the key factors associated with food intake in this setting.
