Association of Plasma Phospholipids with Age-Related Cognitive Impairment: Results from a Cross-Sectional Study.

ABSTRACT: Decreased concentration of phospholipids were observed in brain tissue from individuals with dementia compared with controls, indicating phospholipids might be a key variable in development of age-related cognitive impairment. The reflection of these phospholipid changes in blood might provide both reference for diagnosis/monitoring and potential targets for intervention through peripheral circulation. Using a full-scale targeted phospholipidomic approach, 229 molecular species of plasma phospholipid were identified and quantified among 626 senile residents; the association of plasma phospholipids with MoCA score was also comprehensively discussed. Significant association was confirmed between phospholipid matrix and MoCA score by a distance-based linear model. Additionally, the network analysis further observed that two modules containing PEs were positively associated with MoCA score, and one module containing LPLs had a trend of negative correlation with MoCA score. Furthermore, 23 phospholipid molecular species were found to be significantly associated with MoCA score independent of fasting glucose, lipidemia, lipoproteins, inflammatory variables and homocysteine. Thus, the decreased levels of pPEs containing LC-PUFA and the augmented levels of LPLs were the most prominent plasma phospholipid changes correlated with the cognitive decline, while alterations in plasma PC, PS and SM levels accompanying cognitive decline might be due to variation of lipidemia and inflammatory levels.

Project description:Objective: The aims of the current study were to (1) explore the features of overall poor sleep and specific sleep disorders in Chinese middle age and older adult hemodialysis patients; (2) examine the association between sleep disorders and cognitive impairment (CI) in middle age and older patients undergoing hemodialysis in China. Methods: Data of patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis were collected from the prospective cohort study of CI in Chinese patients undergoing hemodialysis (Registered in Clinical Trials.gov, ID: NCT03251573). We included 613 patients (mean age = 63.7; SD = 7.8) in this study. We assessed sleep conditions using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire and cognitive function by the Chinese Beijing version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-BJ) scale. Then the association between sleep disorders and CI was evaluated using multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: The prevalence of sleep disorders in this group of 613 hemodialysis patients was 77.0%. Patients with CI were more inclined to have sleep disorders in specific aspects of sleep latency, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, and daytime dysfunction (p < 0.05). In multivariate logistic regression analyses, every 1-point increase in global PSQI score was associated with a 1.2-fold increased risk of CI (adjusted OR = 1.201; 95%CI = 1.123-1.284, p < 0.001). For each specific PSQI, every 1-point increase in sleep disturbances score was associated with a 2.6-fold increased risk of CI (adjusted OR = 2.624; 95%CI = 1.891-3.640, p < 0.001), and every 1-point increase in daytime dysfunction score was associated with a 3.7-fold increased risk of CI (adjusted OR = 3.709; 95%CI = 2.653-5.184, p < 0.001), whereas every 1-point increase in sleep duration score was associated with a decreased risk of CI (adjusted OR = 0.600; 95%CI = 0.434-0.830, p = 0.002). Conclusion: Poor sleep quality especially sleep disturbances, daytime dysfunction, and long sleep duration are associated with CI in middle age and older adult hemodialysis patients. Thus, the early detection of sleep disorders may help identify patients with cognitive impairment among hemodialysis individuals.

Project description:ObjectivesTo evaluate potential differences in plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin in subtypes of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and in patients in Clinical Age-Related Maculopathy Staging (CARMS) group 5 with or without subretinal fibrosis.MethodsThis single-center cross-sectional study included 178 participants during a period of 20 months. Ninety-five patients belonged to CARMS 5; twelve belonged to CARMS 4; twenty-two belonged to CARMS 2 or 3; and 49 individuals did not have AMD (CARMS 1). Following a structured interview, a detailed bilateral retinal examination was performed and participants were allocated to their respective subgroups in accordance with the Clinical Age-Related Maculopathy Staging system. Plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 and D3 were analyzed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Genomic DNA was extracted from leukocytes and genotyped for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the vitamin D metabolism. Differences in plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D were determined in the subgroups as well as between patients in CARMS 5 with or without subretinal fibrosis.ResultsPlasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D was comparable in patients across CARMS groups 1 to 5 (p?=?0.83). In CARMS 5, the presence of subretinal fibrosis was associated with significantly lower concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D as compared to the absence of subretinal fibrosis (47.2 versus 75.6 nmol/L, p<0.001). Patients in CARMS 5 with subretinal fibrosis were more likely to have insufficient levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D compared to patients without subretinal fibrosis (p?=?0.006). No association was found between the SNPs rs10877012, rs2228570, rs4588, or rs7041 and AMD subgroups or plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin levels.ConclusionsThis study suggests that the presence of subretinal fibrosis in patients belonging to CARMS 5 may be associated with a poor vitamin D status. Our observations warrant further investigation into the role of vitamin D in the development of subretinal fibrosis.
