Alzheimer's disease is an age-related neurodegenerative disease, and its pathogenesis has not been fully elucidated.In recent years the role of metal ions in the development and de-velopment of Alzheimer's disease has been brought into foeus.This paper reviews the homeostasis imbalance of metal ions, in- eluding the essential metal ions for human body such as Fe~ + / Fe3+ , CuV Cu2 + , Zn2 + , Mg2 + , as well as non-essential metal ions such as Al '+ and Hg"+ , involved in the pathogenesis of AI), aiming to provide research clues for anti-AD dnig targeting metal ions.

Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease with multiple causes. Due to no effective drugs to reverse the progress of AD, many researchers in the world focus on the early pathological changes of AD in order to find the effective intervention for delaying the progress of AD. As an organ with high energy demand, brain is very sensitive to changes in fuel supply and energy alteration. Abnormal glucose metabolism and mitochondrial dysfunction are the important signs of brain aging and the main causes of bioenergetic deficits, which appear earlier than the characteristic pathological injuries of AD. So the disturbance of energy synthesis has been considered an early contributory e- vent to AD progression. In this article we review the study progress of energy synthesis disorder involved in the pathogenesis of AD base on cerebral blood flow, glucose uptake, utilization and the relative metabolic regulation in the brain.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of vaginal microbial metabolites and enzyme changes and high-risk human papillomavirus(HR-HPV)infection in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia(CIN)and their interaction effects.METHODS: From June 2014 to December 2014,demographic characteristics and CIN-related factors and cervical liquid-based cytology(TCT)examination results were collected from 40 000 community-based populations from two regions of Shanxi Province by the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University.Patients who meet the criteria for enrollment were further tested for vaginal microecology,HPV testing,and colposcopic and pathologic examination.A total of 782 cases with pathological diagnosis of CIN were chosen as the case group;1503 patients with normal pathological results were chosen as a control group.A multivariate logistic regression model was established to analyze the vaginal microbial metabolic enzymes cross-sectionally,then the association between vaginal microbial metabolic changes and CIN risk was evaluated.RESULTS: The expression of hydrogen peroxide(H2 O2),β-glucuronidase(GUS)and sialidase(SNA)was statistically correlated with CIN risk,and the odd ratios were 1.60(95% CI 1.30-1.96),1.58(95% CI 1.30-1.92),and 1.45(95% CI1.18-1.79),respectively.The expression of acetylglucosaminidase(NAG)and leukocyte esterase(LE)had no statistical association with CIN risk.Interaction analysis showed that there were positive multiplicative interactions among H2 O2,GUS,SNA and HR-HPV infections in the occurrence of CIN.CONCLUSION: Positive H2 O2,GUS,and SNA is associated with increased risk of CIN,and they have positive interaction with HR-HPV infection,which increases the risk of CIN.
