主 题:Alzheimer's disease near infra-red light transgenic mouse model Moris water maze immunofluorescence analysis
摘 要:Alzheimers disease(AD)is a chronic neurodegenerative *** symptoms include memoryand spatial learning dificulties,language disorders,and loss of motivation,which get worse overtime,eventually ending in *** ffective treatments are available for AD,*** only attenuate symptoms temporarily and are associated with severe side ***-red(NIR)light has been studied for a long *** investigated the effect of NIR on ADusing a transgenic mouse model,which was obtained by co-injecting two vectors carrying ADmutations in amyloid precursor protein(APP)and presenilin-i(PSEN1)into C57BL/6J *** irradiation equipment consisted of an accommodating box and an LED *** wave-length of NIR light emitted from LED was between 1040 nm and 1090 *** power densitydelivered at the level of the mice was approximately 15 mW/cm^(2),Firstly,we treated the micewith NIR for 40 days,Then,the irradiation was suspended for 28 ***,another 15 daystreatment was brought to *** conducted Morris water maze and immunofluorescenceanalysis to evaluate the effects of *** analysis was based on mea-suring the quantity of plaques in mouse brain slices,Our results show that NIR light improvesmemory and spatial learning ability and reduces plaques *** light represents apotential treatment for AD.
