Objective: To investigate the expression of uric endogenous formaldehyde and peripheral inflammatory factors in Alzheimer's disease (AD), as well as the associations between them. To explain the pathologenesis of uric formaldehyde in Alzheimer's disease, exploring if uric endogenous formaldehyde and peripheral inflammatory factors could be combined biomarkers for diagnosis of AD. Methods: Community-dwelling cognitive normal older adults (control group, n=54), Alzheimer's disease patients (AD group, n=44) were included. Uric formaldehyde and peripheral inflammatory (interleukin-2 IL-2, tumor necrosis factor-α, TNF-α) were measured in two groups using a double blind design. Results: Uric formaldehyde were elevated in AD group. Compared with the cognitive normal group (P< 0.05). There was no difference in IL-2 and TNF-α between the two groups. There was no significant difference in endogenous formaldehyde between the two groups according to whether hypertension existed or not. There weren't relationship between uric formaldehyde and peripheral inflammatory level (IL-2 and TNF-α). Conclusion: Our study suggests that the endogenous formaldehyde may be involved in the pathological process of Alzheimer's disease, and formaldehyde could be diagnosing biomarkers for AD combined peripheral inflammatory factors. Peripheral inflammation and hypertension may not be the origin initiating factors for increasing of formaldehyde in dementia individuals.
