ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with biofeedback non motor symptoms on clinical effects and serum levels of IL-6,CRP and TNF-α of Parkinson's disease.Methods:84 cases of Parkinson's disease in our hospital were randomly divided into experimental group and control group,with 42 cases in each group.The control group were treated with EMG and EEG biofeedback,while the experimental group were treated with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on the basis of the control group.Then the serum levels of C reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α),the non motor symptoms questionnaire (NMSQuest),Parkinson's disease Sleep Scale (PDSS) and Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) score in the two groups were observed and compared before and after the treatment.Results:Compared with before treatment,the serum levels of CRP,IL-6 and TNF-α,the NMSQuest and HAMD in the two groups decreased after the treatment,while the PDSS score increased,and the differences were statistically significant (P＜0.05);Compared with the control group,the serum levels of CRP,IL-6 and TNF-α,NMSQuest and HAMD in the experimental group were lower,while the PDSS score was higher,and the differences were statistically significant (P＜0.05).Conclusion:Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with biofeedback can reduce the serum levels of IL-6,CRP and TNF-α in patients with Parkinson's disease,which has better clinical effect on the non motor symptoms.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To strengthen the hospital infection control and the link management, and to improve the medical care and nursing quality. METHODS The main methods were to strengthen the organization leadership, set up and enhance the management system of infection; strengthen the continuing education about the hospital infection knowledge, control the hospital infection, and standardize medical personnel′s hand hygiene; choose the correct washing and maintenance method for the apparatus and instruments; and strengthen the management of the medical wastes. RESULTS After that to set up the management of each link, eliminate the dangers in medical action, improve the antiseptic quality, and decrease the rate of hospital infection. CONCLUSIONS The hospital infection controls and the link management are two of the important indexes of appraising the management level of the hospital, and it is the important guarantee of improving medical care and nursing quality and supporting the medical treatment′s security.
ABSTRACT
Objectives To investigate the DRD 2 genetic susceptibility to essential tremor(ET) in Chinese.Methods Polymerase chain reaction-restricted fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP) was used to determine the DRD 2 Taq ⅠA genotypes of 80 unrelated ET patients and 100 healthy controls.Results No significant differences in Taq ⅠA genotype and distributions of allele frequencies of Taq ⅠA loci at the DRD 2 gene were observed between ET and controls.Conclusions Taq ⅠA loci polymorphism at DRD 2 gene may be not associated to genetic susceptibility to ET,but the Taq ⅠA polymorphism at DRD gene could contribute the disorder of central dopaminergic neural system in ET.

0.05). Conclusion The g.168_185del polymorphism of the promoter in DJ-1 gene does not a significant risk factor for PD in this population.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore parkin gene deletion mutations at exons 3 to 7 in Chinese familial patients with Parkinson's disease as well as the association with the clinical features.Methods DNA was extracted from 6 unrelated families of PD patients; the deletion mutations of parkin gene at exons 3 to 7 were identified by PCR amplification, agarose gel electrophoresis. and the clinical data were analyzed together with the above information.Results In the 6 unrelated families of PD patients, 1 case had exon 5 deletion, its hereditary manner was autosomal recessive inheritance,the patient's age at the onset was 60 years old,clinical feature was tremor,rigidity and bradykinesia,but no athetosis.In addition the deletion mutations of parkin gene at exons 3,4,6,7 were not found.Conclusion There are deletion mutations of parkin gene at exons 5 in families PD of Chinese patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of essential tremor (ET).Methods The clinical materials of 80 patients with ET was analysed.Results In 80 patients with ET, 50 cases for the male, 30 cases for the female,the age at tremor onset was from 3 to 70 years old,the mean age was 34.6?16.3 years old,the course of disease was 6 months to 60 years,the mean 14.2?9.9 years. 45 patients (56 3%) had postive family history,they showed mostly autosomal dominant inheritance.The postural tremor was the main manifestation of essential tremor,tremor affected hand in 92.5% patients,throat in 21.3%,head in 20%,chin in 17.5%. Functional disability and impairment in 17.5% patients because of tremor.91 2% patients had the effect of alcohol occurred in 34 cases who had performed alcohol test.6 3% patients accompanied parkinson’s disease.A small dose of propranolol was effective in 61% patients.Conclusion In the ET group,the patients were mostly young,single model,the number of the male ET cases was more than the female,sole postural tremor,part of patients might accompany PD,a small dose of propranolol was effective.
