Abstract: Provided is a drug superior for preventing and/or treating dementia. It contains a carbostyril derivative of the following formula (1) (wherein R is a cycloalkyl group, A is a lower alkyl group, and a single bond or a double bond is present between the 3-position and the 4-position of the carbostyril nucleus) and dihydroquercetin.

Abstract: The present invention chiefly aims to provide a new method of detecting or determining ApoE genetic polymorphism, that is rapid and less invasive to the subject. The present invention includes, for example, a method for detecting a genetic polymorphism of apolipoprotein E present in genomic DNA collected from a subject, comprising the following steps 1 to 3: 1. a step of preparing a specimen with DNA released from saliva; 2. a step of adding the followings to the specimen containing the DNA and then mixing: (1) a PCR enzyme, (2) a PCR primer pair for amplifying a nucleic acid fragment of the apolipoprotein E gene, and (3) a fluorescent labeled probe set which has oligonucleotides for detecting the genetic polymorphism of apolipoprotein E; and 3. a step of performing PCR, and measuring the fluorescence intensities according to the genetic polymorphism of apolipoprotein E from the PCR product.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of preventing or delaying the progression from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to dementia or a therapeutic agent therefor.

Abstract: Provided is a method for predicting probability of ischemic stroke onset. A method for predicting a risk of ischemic stroke onset, the method comprising: a detection step of detecting presence or absence of a RNF213 p.R4810K gene variant in a sample derived from a test subject who does not develop ischemic stroke; and a determination step of determining whether a probability of ischemic stroke onset of the test subject is high or not, based on the presence or absence of the RNF213 p.R4810K gene variant in the detection step, and gender information of the test subject. A genetic marker for predicting a risk of ischemic stroke onset using gender information, comprising a RNF213 p.R4810K gene variant. A biomarker for predicting a risk of ischemic stroke onset using gender information, comprising a polypeptide encoded by a RNF213 p.R4810K gene variant.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a radioactive iodine-labeled pyrido[1,2-a]benzimidazole derivative compound represented by a definite general formula or a salt thereof, or a radiopharmaceutical comprising the same.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a radioactive halogen-labeled pyrido[1,2-a]benzimidazole derivative compound represented by a specific general formula or a salt thereof, or a radiopharmaceutical comprising the same.

Abstract: Provided is a prophylactic and/or therapeutic drug for mild cognitive impairment, which can improve interstitial flow in cerebral blood vessel and the like to achieve sufficient clearance of harmful proteins accumulated in the brain. The prophylactic and/or therapeutic drug includes 6-[4-(1-cyclohexyl-1H-tetrazole-5-yl)butoxy]3,4-dihydrocarbostyril or a salt thereof as an active ingredient. The prophylactic and/or therapeutic drug can improve a flow of interstitial fluid around blood vessels in a drainage pathway to excrete harmful proteins. The prophylactic and/or therapeutic drug for mild cognitive impairment may take the form of a pharmaceutical product for oral administration, a liquid pharmaceutical product for oral administration, or an injectable preparation.
