Abstract

Traumatic axonal injury (TAI) plays a major role in the development of neurological impairments after traumatic brain injury (TBI), but it is commonly difficult to evaluate it precisely and early with conventional histological biomarkers, especially when the patients experience short-term survival after TBI. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has shown some promise in detecting TAI, but longitudinal studies on the compromised white matter with DTI at early time points (≤72 h) following impact acceleration TBI are still absent. In the present study, rats were subjected to the Marmarou model and imaged with DTI at 3, 12, 24, and 72 h (n = 5 each) post-injury. Using a region-of-interest-based approach, the regions of interest including the corpus callosum, bilateral external capsule, internal capsule, and pyramidal tract were studied. Two DTI parameters, fraction anisotropy and axial diffusivity, were significantly reduced from 3 to 72 h in each region after trauma, corresponding to the gradient of axonal damage demonstrated by immunohistochemical staining of β-amyloid precursor protein and neurofilament light chain. Remarkably, DTI changes predicted the approximate time in the acute phase following TBI. These results indicate that th...Continue Reading

Alzheimer's Disease: APP

Amyloid precursor protein (APP) proteolysis is critical for the development of Alzheimer's disease, a neurodegenerative disease associated with accumulation of amyloid plaques in the brain. Here is the latest research on APP and Alzheimer's disease.
