Decrease in parietal cerebral hemoglobin oxygenation during performance of a verbal fluency task in patients with Alzheimer's disease monitored by means of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)--correlation with simultaneous rCBF-PET measurementsC Hock
Psychiatrische Universitätsklinik PUK, Basel, Switzerland
Brain Res 755:293-303. 1997....
Cerebrospinal fluid levels of amyloid precursor protein and amyloid beta-peptide in Alzheimer's disease and major depression - inverse correlation with dementia severityC Hock
Department of Psychiatry, University of Basel, Switzerland
Eur Neurol 39:111-8. 1998..Thus, CSF levels of Abeta are not useful for the differentiation of AD from major depression. However, CSF levels of Abeta reflect the severity of dementia and may be useful as biological markers of the stage of the disease...
Alterations in trk A, trk B and trk C receptor immunoreactivities in parietal cortex and cerebellum in Alzheimer's diseaseE Savaskan
Department of Psychiatry, University of Basel, Switzerland
Eur Neurol 44:172-80. 2000..In addition, cerebellar Purkinje cells revealed a distinct immunoreactivity for trk C both in control and AD cases, suggesting trk C may be important in the maintenance of these cells in the aged brain...
Histological markers in nasal mucosa of patients with Alzheimer's diseaseC Hock
Department of Psychiatry, University of Basel, Switzerland
Eur Neurol 40:31-6. 1998..These results are consistent with other reports showing that cytoskeletal changes and tau pathology in the olfactory epithelium are not primary (or specific) features of AD and may occur predominantly in late stages of the disease...
Decreased trkA neurotrophin receptor expression in the parietal cortex of patients with Alzheimer's diseaseC Hock
Department of Psychiatry PUK, University of Basel, Switzerland
Neurosci Lett 241:151-4. 1998..These results reveal a central specific role of the high affinity NGF receptor during neurodegeneration in AD...
Alzheimer's disease, depression and normal ageing: merit of simple psychomotor and visuospatial tasksM Hofman
Department of Psychiatry, University of Basel, Basel, Switzerland
Int J Geriatr Psychiatry 15:31-9. 2000..The purpose was to investigate the discriminative value of simple psychomotor and visuospatial tasks that were implemented in a computer-assisted test battery...
Cortical alterations of angiotensin converting enzyme, angiotensin II and AT1 receptor in Alzheimer's dementiaE Savaskan
Department of Psychiatry, University of Basel, Wilhelm Klein Str 27, CH 4054, Basel, Switzerland
Neurobiol Aging 22:541-6. 2001..In addition, a prominent perivascular ACE and angiotensin II immunoreactivity surrounding some cortical vessels in aged controls and AD patients points to an underlying microvascular pathology in the process of neurodegeneration...
Rapid cortical hemoglobin deoxygenation after heroin and methadone injection in humans: a preliminary reportR Stohler
Department of Psychiatry, University of Zurich, Switzerland
Drug Alcohol Depend 57:23-8. 1999..Saline had no effects. Opioid-induced acute deoxygenation of cortical hemoglobin is most likely associated with respiratory depression. Thorough medical monitoring is strongly recommended in intravenous opioid maintenance treatments...
Mercury induces cell cytotoxicity and oxidative stress and increases beta-amyloid secretion and tau phosphorylation in SHSY5Y neuroblastoma cellsG Olivieri
Neurobiology Laboratory, Psychiatric University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland
J Neurochem 74:231-6. 2000..001), whereas melatonin preincubation reduced the phosphorylation to control values. These results indicate that mercury may play a role in pathophysiological mechanisms of AD...
Risk factors and differential diagnosis of Alzheimer's diseaseF Muller-Spahn
Psychiatrische Universitatsklinik, Basel, Switzerland
Eur Arch Psychiatry Clin Neurosci 249:37-42. 1999..Various genetic and non-genetic risk factors play a role in influencing age of onset and disease progression...
Cytokines and neurotrophins interact in normal and diseased statesU Otten
Department of Physiology, University of Basel, Vesalgasse 1, CH 4051 Basel, Switzerland
Ann N Y Acad Sci 917:322-30. 2000..This indicates that the IL-6 system mediates a local supply of NTs that participate in diverse CNS functions, such as protection of neurons from insults, neuronal survival, and neuroimmune responses...
Dependence of cerebrospinal fluid Tau protein levels on apolipoprotein E4 allele frequency in patients with Alzheimer's diseaseS Golombowski
Department of Psychiatry PUK, University of Basel, Switzerland
Neurosci Lett 225:213-5. 1997..71, P = 0.007). This finding may be in agreement with reports of a lesser binding of apoE4 to Tau, compared to apoE2 and apoE3, resulting in higher levels of unbound Tau in CSF...
