British researchers have developed a test to detect Alzheimers disease in its earliest stages. 英国研究人员发明了一种方法可以在最早阶段检测出阿尔茨海默症。 ? It works by looking for a combination of markers in the blood which are different in healthy people and those with the disease. ? Delegates at the Alzheimers Research UK Conference heard that the University of Nottingham is now developing a quick and easy test to do in clinics. ? It could mean much earlier diagnosis and better treatments, they said. ? The test uses some proteins that have been strongly linked with Alzheimers disease, such asamyloid（淀粉体）?and APOE. ? But through careful analysis of blood from people with the disease, as well as those with early-stage memory problems, the researchers detected some other markers that were suggestive of the disease. ? Most notably, some proteins related to inflammation seem to have been added to increase the power of the test. ? Promising ? Prof Kevin Morgan from the University of Nottingham said they still had to validate the test and it could be a decade before it was used in patients. ? But he added that the combination of markers they had found was looking very promising. ? Our findings are exciting because they show that it is technically possible to distinguish between healthy people and those with Alzheimers using a blood test. ? As blood tests are a fast and easy way of aiding diagnosis, we are really encouraged by these findings and the potential they hold for the future.? ? He said there were several ways the test could benefit patients, including giving people a definitive diagnosis, which was not always possible at the moment. ? It could also direct future therapies to make sure patients were getting the most appropriate treatment, he explained. 英国的研究人员已经开发出一种测试，以检测阿尔茨海默氏症在最初阶段。 英国研究人员发明了一种方法可以在最早阶段检测出阿尔茨海默症。 ? 它的工作原理寻找血液中的“标记”，在健康人与疾病的不同的组合。 ? 在阿尔茨海默氏症研究英国会议的代表们听说诺丁汉大学目前正在开发一种快速简便的测试，在诊所做。 ? 这可能意味着更早的诊断和更好的治疗，他们说。 ? 本次测试采用了一些已与阿尔茨海默氏症密切相关的蛋白质，如淀粉样蛋白（淀粉体）和APOE。 ? 但通过仔细分析血液从人与疾
