United Kingdom: a simple blood test may predict Alzheimer _ gold Adviser

Nobel Prize winner Charles Kao in recent years suffered from Alzheimer's torment in BJ, 6 July (Chen compile reports) Nobel Prize winner, fibre, the father of Kao suffering from senile dementia, unfortunately, has won the stubborn problems become more concerned about United Kingdom scientist recently discovered, as long as a simple blood test that can effectively predict Alzheimer's disease (dementia) in the next ten years of disease incidence. Researchers believe that blood coagulation protein hormone levels rise (Clusterin) may be related to Alzheimer's disease, if the disease early detection of these protein levels, will enable patients to receive treatment as soon as possible and by improving the daily lives to reduce the impact of the disease. United Kingdom Daily Telegraph reported, University of London Institute of Psychiatry of the British monarch Institute researchers found that many patients in front of the disease for many years, blood coagulation protein levels in the blood of the content, or will gradually increase. The researchers also found that high levels of blood coagulation protein in May and the elderly in an associative memory loss symptoms. Alzheimer's disease (Alzheimer'sdisease) is the United Kingdom's most common dementia cases, existing near 500,000 United Kingdom people affected by this disease. With the aging population, it is expected that in 2050, this number will double. Researchers will be 300 different degrees of Alzheimer's disease patients of blood samples and brain function in normal people's blood samples for comparison. The results show that the level of coagulation protein and the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease have a certain contact and brain scan shows that high concentrations of coagulation protein levels will result in rapid and severe memory loss and brain atrophy. In addition, the protein also affects the brain plaque formation, protein levels will surround the brain plaques which interferes with brain cell networks and communication systems. United Kingdom of patient organizations, this message is Alzheimer's disease patients in the Gospel of hope that researchers will do in this area and further research. The research results will be in the new issue of archives of General Psychiatry, "" (Archives of General Psychiatry) published in medical journal.
