An authentication network combining advantages of Bluetooth ad hoc network with the Ethernet is introduced first in detail. Then we propose a Bluetooth badge for storing the user's identification information. Finally, the authentication system based on Bluetooth badge and authentication network is introduced. It is demonstrated experimentally that the Bluetooth-based authentication technique can authenticate the user automatically.展开更多

METHODS: Three-month-old APPV7171 transgenic mice were randomly divided into ten groups (n=12 per group) and intragastrically administrated vehi- cle or medicines: APP group was given 0.5% CMC, donepezil group was given donepezil (APP + D group) (0.92 mg/kg-1. day-1), and GEPT groups were given small dose of GEPT (APP+Gs group) (0.075 g/ kg-1. day-1), medium dose (APP+Gm group) (0.15 g/ kg-1. day-1), and large dose (APP+GI group) (0.30 g/ kg-1. day-1) for 4 or 8 months, respectively. Three-month-old C57BL/6J mice as vehicle controls (n=12) were given 0.5% CMC for 4 or 8 months as well. The GSK-3β expression in the cortex of 7- and 11-month-old APPV7171 transgenic mice with and without GEPT or donepezil treatment and normal C57BL/6J mice were measured via Western blotting and Immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: Immunohistochemistry analysis showed significant increase of GSK-3β in the cerebral cortex of 7-month-old APP group (compare to control group P=0.003), while the GSK-313 expression of donepezil or OEPT group were all significantly de-creased (Donepezil vs APP: P=0.041; GI vs APP: P=0.049, Gm vs APP: P=0.029, Gh vs APP: P=0.036). Western blot analysis showed similar results. The densitometric measures of GSK-3β in APP mice in- creased significantly as compared with the control group (P=0.008). And the GSK-3β expression indonepezil and GEPT groups were all decreased. There was significant difference between Gh group or donepezil group and the control group (P=0.05). Similar findings were shown in the 11-month-old mice in each group, except for greater decrease of GSK-3β in the GEPT group. CONCLUSION: GEPT can effectively decrease the level of GSK-3β expression in the brain cortex of AP- PV7171 transgenic mice, and such effect is more sig- nificant in 11-month-old mice. This partially ex- plains the neuroprotecting mechanism of GEPT in preventing and treating of AD.展开更多
