Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), an insidious neurodegenerative ailment, unfolds with a clandestine onset and progressive deterioration, comprising preclinical, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and dementia stages. During the preclinical phase, patients typically manifest no overt cognitive decline or merely exhibit subjective cognitive descent. In the MCI stage, patients begin to experience cognitive impairments, particularly in memory. In the dementia stage, individuals gradually forfeit fundamental life capabilities, profoundly impacting the mental and physical well-being of the middle-aged and elderly, imposing a substantial burden on families and society.<\/span><\/p>\n With the ongoing escalation of population aging in China, the populace of AD patients is rapidly proliferating. A 2022 report from the international medical journal “The Lancet Public Health” reveals that there are presently approximately 10 million AD patients in China, with an anticipated surge to 30 million by 2030. Due to the limited awareness of the disease among patients and their families, coupled with the constrained diagnostic methods offered by hospitals, numerous patients are unable to receive timely diagnosis and treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n Urgent measures are to needed enhance the diagnosis and treatment of AD in response to the escalating burden of the disease in China, compounded by low rates of diagnosis and treatment. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The abnormal deposition of \u03b2-amyloid neuritic plaques in the brain is the earliest pathological change in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and serves as a core biomarker for AD. Clinical practice often involves PET-CT\/PET-MRI scans to detect the level of A\u03b2 deposition in the brain, enabling the diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and efficacy assessment of AD.<\/p>\n The progression of AD comprises six stages. In the first two stages, there are no apparent cognitive decline symptoms, making it challenging to identify. It is noteworthy that, during this period, \u03b2-amyloid neuritic plaques deposition is already present in the brain. As the disease advances and noticeable symptoms emerge in stages 3, 4, 5, and 6, A\u03b2 deposition in the brain may have been occurring for up to 20 years.<\/p>\n AD has the characteristics of insidious onset and irreversible disease progression. Early diagnosis and intervention of the disease are the key to controlling disease progression.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n It was demostrated that florbetaben F 18 injection is an accurate diagnostic tool for the estimation of beta-amyloid neuritic plaque in the living brain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Florbetaben F 18 injection is radioactive but only stays active in the brain for a short time. More than half of it will be eliminated from the body within 2 hours of being injected.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n No serious side effects related to florbetaben F 18 injection use have been reported. All side effects wre mild to moderate and of short duration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Florbetaben F 18 is an 18F-labeled diphenylethene derivative capable of specific binding to \u03b2-amyloid neuritic plaques in the cerebral cortex. The positron signals generated by the 18F isotope can be visualized through positron emission tomography (PET) scans, providing a direct depiction of the presence and spatial distribution of \u03b2-amyloid neuritic plaques in the brain.<\/p>\n Florbetaben F 18 injection is the first domestically approved A\u03b2-PET imaging agent for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) diagnosis. It enables early, precise, and non-invasive diagnosis of AD, addressing a gap in the domestic market.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\nSix Stages of the AD Progression<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
