Metabolomics Profiling Research of Human Cerebrospinal Fluid in Aging Process

January 28, 2022 updated by: Chang Gung Memorial Hospital

Metabolomics Profiling and Biomarker Research of Human Cerebrospinal Fluid in Aging Process and Age-related Neurodegenerative Diseases

Perform quantitative metabolomics on human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples and establish the first human CSF Metabolome Database of aging process in Taiwan.

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

Metabolomics is new science based on metabolite profiles in biofluids and tissues, which under bioinformatics approaches and analyses could help to characterize metabolomic status of CSF in aging process. In this prospective study, the investigators plan to enroll 200 health volunteers and 40 neurodegenerative diseases patients with received operation under spinal anesthesia. Blood and CSF samples will be analyzed using hydrogen-1 nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) and lipid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS).

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
All patients
Spinal anesthesia
Plan to enroll 200 health volunteers and 40 neurodegenerative diseases patients with received spinal anesthesia. Blood will be collected at time point of pre-anesthesia 10 minutes and CSF samples will be collected at time point during spinal anesthesia induction. Blood will be collected, drawn into EDTA-coated tube.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Exam metabolic profiles of CSF in aging process and age-related neurodegenerative diseases
Time Frame: An average of 1 year
Metabolites analysis of CSF will be investigated by NMR, LC-MS. Peak lists of all NMR and LC/MS/MS spectra will be searched against the database through a web server for metabolomic data analysis and further establish the CSF Metabolome Database.
An average of 1 year
