项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) occurs in children born to women who drink alcohol heavily during pregnancy and is one of the leading non-hereditary causes of mental retardation in the Western World. It is estimated that the prevalence of FAS in the general U.S. population is between 0.5 and 2.0 per 1,000 births, while the undiagnosed population with variable facial and brain dysmorphology described as fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is estimated to be 10 times higher. The difficulty in the diagnosis of FASD involves misdiagnosis due to the presence or absence of the typical facial dysmorphology in association with brain dysfunction. Accurate diagnosis is further complicated by the lack of information about the contribution of dose, frequency, and timing of alcohol exposure during pregnancy to variation in facial dysmorphology. In this project, a mouse model that models human consumption and is known to produce FAS-like features resulting from prenatal alcohol exposure, will be used to test the effects of differences in dose and timing of alcohol exposure on face and brain development. A combination of 3D imaging that includes Micro-video and micro-resonance imaging (MRI) will be used to capture the detailed facial structure, micro-computational tomography (Micro-CT) to capture the underlying facial bone, MRI for detailed brain dimensions, and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) for nerve fiber tracks in the fetal period. A novel computational program will be compiled to detect features specifically as function of alcohol exposure. The association and dissociation of facial and brain dysmorphology as a function of dose and timing of alcohol exposure will be analyzed to better inform the diagnosis of FAS/ FASD. These studies will be a collaboration sharing resources and methods and will be performed across both Basic and Clinical Science components in consortium effort. To date there is no cure for FAS/FASD, which is a life long ordeal from the birth. Experimental tests, using the above model and setting, of trophic peptides which have been known to prevent neurodegeneration in trials for Alzheimer Disease and protect cell death in embryonic stage, have been partially tested in the embryonic period to show protection against the alcohol-induced retardation. The new studies will test whether the trophic peptides can prevent alcohol-induced brain and facial dysmorphology as well as behavioral impairment known to occur in FAS.

描述（由申请人提供）：胎儿酒精综合征（FAS）发生在怀孕期间大量饮酒的妇女所生的儿童中，并且是西方世界中主要的非遗传性智力障碍原因之一。据估计，美国普通人群中FAS的患病率在每1000个出生的0.5至2.0之间，而被描述为胎儿酒精谱系障碍（FASD）的未诊断的人群估计为胎儿和脑畸形型较高。 FASD诊断的困难涉及由于存在或不存在与脑功能障碍相关的典型面部畸形学而误诊。缺乏有关怀孕期间剂量，频率和酒精暴露时间对面部畸形差异的剂量的贡献的信息，使准确的诊断更加复杂。在该项目中，一种模拟人类食用并众所周知会产生类似FAS的特征的小鼠模型将用于测试剂量和酒精暴露时间对面部和脑发育的影响的影响。包括微观视频和微共振成像（MRI）在内的3D成像的组合将用于捕获详细的面部结构，微型计算机层造影术（Micro-CT），以捕获基本的面部骨骼，用于详细的大脑尺寸的MRI，用于NEVER FIBER FIBER TRACKS inver Fiper Tracks in fetal the Fetal the fetal the fetal the fetal the fetal the fetal the fetal the fetal the fetal the fetal the fetal the fetal the fetal ins fet fetal the in fet fetal the in the Fetal the。一项新型的计算程序将被编译，以专门检测特征作为酒精暴露的功能。面部和脑部变性症的关联和解离，将分析剂量和酒精暴露时间的函数，以更好地告知FAS/ FASD的诊断。这些研究将是共享资源和方法的协作，并将在财团工作中的基础和临床科学组成部分进行。迄今为止，无法治愈FAS/FASD，这是从出生开始的寿命。使用上述模型和设置的营养肽的实验测试已知，这些肽在阿尔茨海默氏病试验中预防神经退行性肽并在胚胎阶段保护细胞死亡，已在胚胎时期进行了部分测试，以显示防止酒精诱导的降低性的保护。新研究将测试营养肽是否可以预防酒精诱导的大脑和面部畸形以及FAS中已知的行为障碍。
