However, it remains unclear if genetic polymorphisms in these genes are associated with cognitive decline in late-onset Alzheimer's disease patients. We performed a 30-month longitudi- nal cohort study to investigate the relationship between Alzheimer's disease and APOE, APOC1, and LRP. In this study, 78 Chinese Han patients with late-onset Alzheimer's disease were recruit- ed form Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in China. APOE, APOC1, and LRP genotyping was performed using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphisms. The Mini-Mental State Examination and Clinical Dementia Rating Scale were used to assess pa- tients' cognitive function. After a 30-month follow-up period, we found a significant reduction in Mini-Mental State Examination total score, a higher proportion of patients fulfilling cognitive impairment progression criteria, and a higher proportion of APOC1 H2 carriers in APOE 4 carriers compared with non-carriers. In addition, the APOE 4 allele frequency was significantly higher in the cognitive impairment progression group compared with the non-cognitive im- pairment progression group. In conclusion, APOE e4 plays an important role in augmenting cognitive decline, and APOC1 H2 may act synergistically with APOE ~4 in increasing the risk of cognitive decline in Chinese patients with late-onset Alzheimer's disease.展开更多

It crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21/c with α = 1.16471(7), b = 0.95334(7), c = 0.91109(9) nm, Z= 4, V= 1.01035(14) nm^3, D, = 2.160 g/cm^3,μ = 2.172 mm^-1, F(000) = 648, R = 0.0302 and wR = 0.0752. According to structural analysis, each Cd(II) ion is coordinated to six O atoms from three endc anions and one water molecule, giving a distorted octahedral geometry. Two- dimensional layer arrangement of the title complex is constructed from the bridging nature of endc. It is worth notice that adjacent two-dimensional layers are joined together to form a three-dimensional supramolecular framework via intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions.展开更多
