Sabatier Principle Driving Interface Defect Engineering on 3D Graphene-Like Encapsulated Cobalt Structure for Hydrogenation Reaction.

Establishing structural defects is a perspective way to increase the catalytic hydrogenation reaction. Toward Sabatier optimization for hydrogenation reaction with defect density offers guidance for designing optimal catalysts with the highest performance. A controllable synthesis strategy is reported for Co@NC-x catalyst induced by defect density. A series of N-doped carbon-based defective Co@NC-x catalysts with different defect densities ranging from 1.5 × 1011 to 1.9 × 1011 cm-2 via high-temperature sublimation strategy is obtained. The results show that the volcano curves are observed between defect density and catalytic hydrogenation performance with a summit at a moderate defect density of 1.7 × 1011 cm-2, matched well with Sabatier phenomenon. Remarkably, the defect density on the graphene-like shell serves as descriptor to the adsorbate state and consequently the catalytic activity. However, to the best of knowledge, the Sabatier phenomenon in hydrogenation reactions at the defect scale in 3D graphene-like encapsulated metal (3D-GEM) catalysts has not been reported. This work highlights the meaning of defect-density effect on catalytic hydrogenation reaction, supplying meaningful guidance for the rational design of more efficient and durable defective 3D-GEM catalyst.

Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging study comparing tremor-dominant and postural instability/gait difficulty subtypes of Parkinson's disease.

PURPOSE: The symptom-specific intrinsic neural mechanisms underlying Parkinson's disease (PD) subtypes (tremor dominant [TD] and postural instability gait difficulty [PIGD]) remain unclarified. We examined spontaneous brain activity patterns in TD and PIGD. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We included 49 patients with PD (21 with TD/28 with PIGD) and 32 healthy controls (HCs) in this study. We conducted analysis of variance and post-hoc analyses of the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) and regional homogeneity (ReHo) values of the three groups, with age, sex, and gray matter volume as covariates, and a relationship analysis of the ALFF and ReHo values with clinical variables. RESULTS: In comparison with HCs, PIGD PD patients had increased ALFF values in the right middle occipital gyrus and left superior occipital gyrus and decreased values primarily in the bilateral inferior frontal gyrus (triangular part). TD PD patients had lower ALFF values in the right inferior frontal gyrus (triangular part) and left insula. In comparison to TD PD patients, PIGD PD patients had higher ALFF values in the left middle occipital gyrus and left superior occipital gyrus. In contrast to HCs, TD PD patients demonstrated a reduction of ReHo values in the left middle temporal gyrus, and PIGD patients showed a decrease of ReHo values in the left inferior temporal gyrus. CONCLUSION: ALFF values increased in the occipital gyrus of the PIGD PD patients, thus providing evidence of a compensatory mechanism of altered motor function in comparison with the TD PD patients.

Neuronal Nitric Oxide Synthase in Nucleus Accumbens Specifically Mediates Susceptibility to Social Defeat Stress through Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 5.

Stress-induced depression is common worldwide. NAc, a "reward" center, is recently reported to be critical to confer the susceptibility to chronic social defeat stress (CSDS) and the depression-related outcome. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms have not been well characterized. In this study, we induced depression-like behaviors with CSDS and chronic mild stress in male mice to mimic social and environmental factors, respectively, and observed animal behaviors with social interaction test, tail suspension test, and sucrose preference test. To determine the role of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) and its product nitric oxide (NO), we used brain region-specifically nNOS overexpression and stereotaxic injection of NO inhibitor or donor. Moreover, the downstream molecular cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) was explored by conditional KO and gene mutation. We demonstrate that nNOS-implicated mechanisms in NAc shell (NAcSh), including increased cell number, increased protein expression levels, and increased specific enzyme activity, contribute the susceptibility to social defeat and the following depression-like behaviors. NAcSh nNOS does not directly respond to chronic mild stress but facilitates the depression-like behaviors. The increased NAcSh nNOS expression after CSDS leads to the social avoidance and depression-like behaviors in defeated mice, which is dependent on the nNOS enzyme activity and NO production. Moreover, we identify the downstream signal in NAcSh. S-nitrosylation of CDK5 by NO contributes to enhanced CDK5 activity, leading to depression-related behaviors in susceptible mice. Therefore, NAcSh nNOS mediates susceptibility to social defeat stress and the depression-like behaviors through CDK5.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Stress-induced depression is common worldwide, and chronic exposure to social and psychological stressors is important cause of human depression. Our study conducted with chronic social defeat stress mice models demonstrates that nNOS in NAcSh is crucial to regulate the susceptibility to social defeat stress and the following depression-like behaviors, indicating NAcSh nNOS as the responding molecule to social factors of depression. Moreover, we discover the downstream mechanism of NAcSh nNOS in mediating the susceptibility is NO and S-nitrosylation of CDK5. Thus, NAcSh nNOS mediates susceptibility to social defeat stress through CDK5 is a potential mechanism for depression, which may interpret how the brain transduces social stress exposure into depression.

The CD146-HIF-1α axis regulates epithelial cell migration and alveolar maturation in a mouse model of bronchopulmonary dysplasia.

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the most common challenge in preterm neonates. Retardation of alveolar development characterizes the pulmonary pathology in BPD. In the present study, we explored the roles of the CD146-HIF-1α axis in BPD. We demonstrated that the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and soluble CD146 (sCD1146) were increased in the peripheral blood of preterm neonates with BPD. In alveolar epithelial cells, hyperoxia promoted the expression of HIF-1α and CD146, which reinforced each other. In a mouse model of BPD, by exposing pups to 65% hyperoxia, HIF-1α and CD146 were increased in the pulmonary tissues. Mechanistically, CD146 hindered the migration of alveolar epithelial cells; in contrast, movement was significantly enhanced in CD146-knockout alveolar epithelial cells. As expected, CD146-knockout ameliorated alveolarization and improved BPD disease severity. Taken together, our findings imply that the CD146-HIF-1α axis contributes to alveolarization and that CD146 may be a novel candidate in BPD therapy.

A novel method for automatic pharmacological evaluation of sucrose preference change in depression mice.

Sucrose preference test (SPT) is a most frequently applied method for measuring anhedonia, a core symptom of depression, in rodents. However, the method of SPT still remains problematic mainly due to the primitive, irregular, and inaccurate various types of home-made equipment in laboratories, causing imprecise, inconsistent, and variable results. To overcome this issue, we devised a novel method for automatic detection of anhedonia in mice using an electronic apparatus with its program for automated detecting the behavior of drinking of mice instead of manual weighing the water bottles. In this system, the liquid surface of the bottles was monitored electronically by infrared monitoring elements which were assembled beside the plane of the water surface and the information of times and duration of each drinking was collected to the principal machine. A corresponding computer program was written and installed in a computer connected to the principal machine for outputting and analyzing the data. This new method, based on the automated system, was sensitive, reliable, and adaptable for evaluation of stress- or drug-induced anhedonia, as well as taste preference and effects of addictive drugs. Extensive application of this automated apparatus for SPT would greatly improve and standardize the behavioral assessment method of anhedonia, being instrumental in novel antidepressant screening and depression researching.

Association of body mass index and waist circumference with high blood pressure in older adults.

BACKGROUND: The relationship between obesity and prevalent high blood pressure in older adults has predominantly been estimated using categorical measures of body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC), masking the shape of the dose-response relationship. We aimed to examine the precise relationship of BMI, WC with high blood pressure and to assess the appropriate level of BMI and WC for high blood pressure. METHODS: We examined data for 126,123 individuals in Xinzheng city aged ≥60 years from a population based study from January to December 2019. Logistic regression and restricted cubic spline models were applied to assess the relationship and the appropriate level of BMI and WC for high blood pressure. An additive interaction analysis was used to test synergistic effects between a higher BMI and WC for high blood pressure. RESULTS: The full-adjusted odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of an increase of 1 kg/m2 in BMI and 1 cm in WC for high blood pressure were 1.084 (1.080-1.087) and 1.026(1.024-1.027), respectively. Multivariable adjusted restricted cubic spline analyses showed the nonlinear relationships of BMI and WC with high blood pressure in both men and women (all P < 0.001). The risk of high blood pressure increased steeply with increasing BMI from ≥25 kg/m2 and WC ≥ 88 cm or 86 cm for males and females, respectively. And we observed a significant additive interaction between a higher BMI and WC such that the prevalence of high blood pressure was significantly enhanced. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest increased high blood pressure prevalence in the older adults with increased BMI and WC. BMI ≤ 25 kg/m2 and WC ≤ 88 cm or 86 cm for males and females may be the best suggestion with regard to primary prevention of high blood pressure in older adults.

Relationship between multimorbidity, disease cluster and all-cause mortality among older adults: a retrospective cohort analysis.

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have evaluated the association of multimorbidity with higher mortality, but epidemiologic data on the association between the disease clusters and all-cause mortality risk are rare. We aimed to examine the relationship between multimorbidity (number/ cluster) and all-cause mortality in Chinese older adults. METHODS: We conducted a population-based study of 50,100 Chinese participants. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the impact of long-term conditions (LTCs) on all-cause mortality. RESULTS: The prevalence of multimorbidity was 31.35% and all-cause mortality was 8.01% (50,100 participants). In adjusted models, the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of all-cause mortality risk for those with 1, 2, and ≥ 3 LTCs compared with those with no LTCs was 1.45 (1.32-1.59), 1.72 (1.55-1.90), and 2.15 (1.85-2.50), respectively (Ptrend < 0.001). In the LTCs ≥2 category, the cluster of chronic diseases that included hypertension, diabetes, CHD, COPD, and stroke had the greatest impact on mortality. In the stratified model by age and sex, absolute all-cause mortality was higher among the ≥75 age group with an increasing number of LTCs. However, the relative effect size of the increasing number of LTCs on higher mortality risk was larger among those < 75 years. CONCLUSIONS: The risk of all-cause mortality is increased with the number of multimorbidity among Chinese older adults, particularly disease clusters.

Multiple modulations for supramolecular hydrogels of bola-form surfactants bearing rigid and flexible groups.

A series of bola-form surfactants with two identical azobenzene ends separated by a flexible chain but different cationic heads were synthesized. These amphiphilic molecules exhibited rich self-assembly properties in aqueous solutions. The physical characterizations demonstrated that the cationic heads showed a decisive influence on both the gelation behavior and the gel strength. The surfactant with a trimethylammonium head group did not form a hydrogel even at a higher concentration, yet it promoted the gelation of pyridinium and methylimidazolium head bearing surfactants, which formed hydrogels but could not boost each other's gelation capability. Besides the heating induced reversible gel-sol transition, the UV light irradiation also triggered the change of gel to sol while the irradiation with visible light led to a reverse process. Through the addition of cyclodextrins, the hydrogels transformed into sols, while the sols reverted to gels accompanied by the addition of competitive guest molecules. The surfactant hydrogels displayed a stimulus-response to both anionic and cationic additives based on different mechanisms, and reverse order of addition of the external guest molecules and host cyclodextrins also resulted in the modulation of the gel-sol transition. By the combination of photo- and chemical-stimuli, multiple responses on the transformations between the gel and sol were realized.

Role of ß-Estradiol in MCF-7 Breast Cancer Cell Line Based on the Bioinformatics Analysis.

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to investigate the action mechanism of ß-estradiol in MCF-7 breast cancer (BC) cells. METHODS: The cell samples were sequenced using Hiseq 2000, including 2 MCF-7 controls and 2 samples treated with ß-estradiol. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened using the NOISeq package in R, followed by the functions and pathways analyses using Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery. DEGs associated with ß-estradiol were selected using the WbeGestalt software, and the corresponding target miRNAs of these genes were analyzed from different miRNA databases. Additionally, protein-protein interaction network of the drug-associated genes was constructed using Cytoscape. RESULTS: A total of 1,835 DEGs in BC samples were screened. Thereinto, DEGs associated with BC (17 upregulated and 28 downregulated DEGs) were involved in the regulation of cell proliferation, response to endogenous stimulus, and response to hormone stimulus, while the genes participated in several significant pathways. Cyclin D1, estrogen receptor 1, catechol-O-methyltransferase, and cathepsin D (CTSD; hub genes) were the predicted new genes associated with ß-estradiol. Besides, hsa-miR-140-3p was the only target miRNA of CTSD. CONCLUSION: ß-Estradiol may play a key role in contributing to BC progression and metastasis by regulating the expression of the selected genes.

Tenascin-C modulates alveolarization in bronchopulmonary dysplasia.

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung disease characterized by retarded alveolarization. Tenascin-C (TN-C), an extracellular matrix glycoprotein and soluble molecule, is involved in tissue morphogenesis. In the present study, we demonstrated that the level of TN-C in lung tissues was greater in a mouse model of BPD induced by 85% oxygen. TN-C deficiency, however, impaired alveolarization in the hyperoxia-induced BPD model. In contrast, a functional TN-C blocking antibody ameliorated alveolar dysplasia in BPD-like mice. Mechanistically, hyperoxia increased the soluble TN-C (sTN-C) released from respiratory epithelial cells. On one hand, low-dose sTN-C promoted lung epithelial cell proliferation and migration, which was mediated by ICAM-1. On the other hand, high-dose sTN-C hindered the proliferation and migration of epithelial cells. Overall, this study revealed that TN-C plays a dual role in lung alveolarization and that TN-C may be a target in BPD therapy.

Analysis of mortality in Parkinson disease in China: Exploration of recent and future trends.

Objectives: Parkinson disease (PD) is the third leading cause of mortality among middle-aged and older individuals in China. This study aimed to explore the trends and distribution features of PD mortality in China from 2013 to 2021 and make predictions for the next few decades. Methods: Relevant data were obtained from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention Disease Surveillance Point system. The joinpoint regression model was used to evaluate trends. The R software was used to predict future trends. Results: Age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) of PD increased from 0.59 per 100,000 individuals to 1.22 per 100,000 individuals from 2013 to 2021, with an average annual percent change (AAPC) of 9.50 (95% CI: 8.24-10.78). The all-age ASMR of PD were higher in male individuals than in female individuals, and ASMR increased with age. The number of deaths and ASMR increased gradually from west to east and from rural to urban areas. Furthermore, ASMR is expected to increase to 2.66 per 100,000 individuals by 2040. Conclusions: The heightened focus on the ASMR of PD among male individuals, urban areas, eastern China, and individuals aged ≥85 years has become a key determinant in further decreasing mortality, thereby exhibiting novel challenges to effective strategies for disease prevention and control.

Aromatic Ethers Induced Electronic Structure Reconstruction on Encapsulated Nickel Catalysts for High-Performance Catalytic Hydrogenation.

Carbon-encapsulated metal (CEM) catalysts effectively address supported metal catalyst instability by protecting the active metal with a shell. However, mass transfer limitations lead to reduced activity for catalytic hydrogenation reaction over most CEM catalysts. Herein, we introduce a dopant strategy aimed at incorporating nickel metal within graphene-like shells (GLS) featuring oxygen-containing functional groups (OFGs). The core of this strategy involves precise control of GLS modification and the demonstrated pivotal influence of aromatic ether linkages (═C-O-C) in GLS for significant enhancement of catalytic performance. The introduction of ═C-O-C into GLS with stability was beneficial to improve the work function of the catalyst and promoted electron transmission from Ni metal core to GLS, further elevating the catalytic activity, based on the Mott-Schottky effect. In addition, the experimental characterization and density functional theory (DFT) calculations showcased that the ═C-O-C reconstructed the electronic state of GLS, imparting it highly specific for the adsorption of hydrogen and para-chloronitrobenzene (p-CNB) to obtain para-chloroaniline (p-CAN) with high selectivity. This work manifested a feasible direction for the precise modulation and design of the OFGs in CEM catalysts to achieve highly efficient catalytic hydrogenation.

Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound for essential tremor: a prospective, single center, single-arm study.

JOURNAL/nrgr/04.03/01300535-202409000-00041/figure1/v/2024-01-16T170235Z/r/image-tiff The safety and effectiveness of magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound thalamotomy has been broadly established and validated for the treatment of essential tremor. In 2018, the first magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound system in Chinese mainland was installed at the First Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital. This prospective, single center, open-label, single-arm study was part of a worldwide prospective multicenter clinical trial (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03253991) conducted to confirm the safety and efficacy of magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound for treating essential tremor in the local population. From 2019 to 2020, 10 patients with medication refractory essential tremor were recruited into this open-label, single arm study. The treatment efficacy was determined using the Clinical Rating Scale for Tremor. Safety was evaluated according to the incidence and severity of adverse events. All of the subjects underwent a unilateral thalamotomy targeting the ventral intermediate nucleus. At the baseline assessment, the estimated marginal mean of the Clinical Rating Scale for Tremor total score was 58.3 ± 3.6, and this improved after treatment to 23.1 ± 6.4 at a 12-month follow-up assessment. A total of 50 adverse events were recorded, and 2 were defined as serious. The most common intraoperative adverse events were nausea and headache. The most frequent postoperative adverse events were paresthesia and equilibrium disorder. Most of the adverse events were mild and usually disappeared within a few days. Our findings suggest that magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound for the treatment of essential tremor is effective, with a good safety profile, for patients in Chinese mainland.

A REM-active basal ganglia circuit that regulates anxiety.

Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep has been hypothesized to promote emotional resilience, but any neuronal circuits mediating this have not been identified. We find that in mice, somatostatin (Som) neurons in the entopeduncular nucleus (EPSom)/internal globus pallidus are predominantly active during REM sleep. This unique REM activity is both necessary and sufficient for maintaining normal REM sleep. Inhibiting or exciting EPSom neurons reduced or increased REM sleep duration, respectively. Activation of the sole downstream target of EPSom neurons, Vglut2 cells in the lateral habenula (LHb), increased sleep via the ventral tegmental area (VTA). A simple chemogenetic scheme to periodically inhibit the LHb over 4 days selectively removed a significant amount of cumulative REM sleep. Chronic, but not acute, REM reduction correlated with mice becoming anxious and more sensitive to aversive stimuli. Therefore, we suggest that cumulative REM sleep, in part generated by the EP → LHb → VTA circuit identified here, could contribute to stabilizing reactions to habitual aversive stimuli.

Resting-state functional connectivity of the occipital cortex in different subtypes of Parkinson's disease.

AIMS: To examine whether functional connectivity (FC) of the occipital gyrus differs between patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) motor subtypes and healthy controls (HCs). METHODS: We enrolled 30 PD patients exhibiting tremor dominance (TD), 43 PD patients with postural instability and gait disturbance (PIGD), and 42 HCs. The occipital gyrus was partitioned into six areas of interest, as seed points, via the Anatomical Automatic Labeling template to compare the FC of the three groups and analyze the relationship of FC with clinical scales. RESULTS: Compared with the PIGD group, the TD group showed increased FC between the left superior occipital gyrus (SOG.L) and right median cingulate and paracingulate gyri (DCG.R)/right paracentral lobule/bilateral inferior parietal, but supramarginal and angular gyri; the left middle occipital gyrus (MOG.L) and left posterior cingulate gyrus (PCG.L); the MOG.R and SOG.L/right calcarine fissure and surrounding cortex/DCG.R/PCG.L/right cuneus; the left inferior occipital gyrus (IOG.L) and right caudate nucleus; and the IOG.R and PCG.L. CONCLUSION: Differentiated FC between the occipital gyrus and other brain areas within the PD motor subtypes, which may serve as neural markers to distinguish between patients with TD and PIGD PD.

Iron-Based Catalysts with Oxygen Vacancies Obtained by Facile Pyrolysis for Selective Hydrogenation of Nitrobenzene.

The development of preparation strategies for iron-based catalysts with prominent catalytic activity, stability, and cost effectiveness is greatly significant for the field of catalytic hydrogenation but still remains challenging. Herein, a method for the preparation of iron-based catalysts by the simple pyrolysis of organometallic coordination polymers is described. The catalyst Fe@C-2 with sufficient oxygen vacancies obtained in specific coordination environment exhibited superior nitro hydrogenation performance, acid resistance, and reaction stability. Through solvent effect experiments, toxicity experiments, TPSR, and DFT calculations, it was determined that the superior activity of the catalyst was derived from the contribution of sufficient oxygen vacancies to hydrogen activation and the good adsorption ability of FeO on substrate molecules.

Iodine-Catalyzed Borylation of Benzylic Alcohols.

Direct borylation of benzylic alcohols has been achieved via an iodine-catalyzed process. This transition-metal-free borylation transformation is compatible with various functional groups and provides a practical and convenient method to access important and useful benzylic boronate esters from widely available benzylic alcohols. Preliminary mechanistic investigations indicated that benzylic iodide and radicals are involved as the key intermediates in this borylation reaction.

Inhibition of hippocampal cyclin-dependent kinase 5 activity ameliorates learning and memory dysfunction in a mouse model of bronchopulmonary dysplasia.

AIMS: Oxygen therapy plays a vital role in the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), which is the independent risk factor for neurodevelopment deficits in premature infants. However, the effect of hippocampal cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) on BPD-associated neurodevelopment deficits is not fully understood. METHODS: Mice were placed in a hyperoxia chamber from postnatal Day 1 to Day 7. Hematoxylin and eosin staining was used to evaluate the lung histomorphological characteristics. Learning and memory functions of mice were detected by Morris water maze. TUNEL staining was applied to measure the number of apoptotic cells. The expression of CDK5, apoptosis-related protein, and neuroplasticity-related proteins were analyzed by Western blot. Golgi staining was used to assess the structure of dendritic spines. RESULTS: Hyperoxia-induced BPD mice showed a long-term learning and memory dysfunction, more severe neuronal apoptosis, and a decline of synaptic plasticity. Inhibition of CDK5 overactivation ameliorated cognitive deficits, neuronal apoptosis, and synaptic plasticity disorders in BPD mice. CONCLUSIONS: This study first found a vital role of CDK5 in BPD-associated neurodevelopmental disorders. Inhibition of CDK5 overexpression could effectively improve cognitive dysfunctions in BPD mice, which indicated that hippocampal CDK5 may be a new target for prevention and treatment in learning and memory dysfunction of BPD.

Unreactive C-N Bond Activation of Anilines via Photoinduced Aerobic Borylation.

Unreactive C-N bond activation of anilines was achieved by photoinduced aerobic borylation. A diverse range of tertiary and secondary anilines were converted to aryl boronate esters in moderate to good yields with wide functional group tolerance under simple and ambient photochemical conditions. This transformation achieved the direct and facile C-N bond activation of unreactive anilines, providing a convenient and practical route transforming widely available anilines into useful aryl boronate esters.

Comparison of Motor Scores between OFF and ON States in Tremor-Dominant Parkinson's Disease after MRgFUS Treatment.

Objective: To compare the motor function improvements in ON and OFF states in tremor-dominant Parkinson's disease (TDPD) patients within one year of follow-up after ablation of the unilateral ventral intermediate nucleus of the thalamus (Vim) by magnetic resonance imaging-guided focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS). Methods: A total of nine consecutive patients confirmed with TDPD who underwent unilateral Vim ablation by MRgFUS between April 2019 and September 2019 were included. The Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale part III (MDS-UPDRSIII) and Clinical Rating Scale for Tremor (CRST) were performed in the ON and OFF stages to distinguish the surgical effects from drug therapy effects. The adverse events and adjustment of drug doses were also recorded. Results: The preoperative MDS-UPDRSIII score in OFF and ON states was 55.0 (48.0, 65.5) and 26.0 (17.0, 27.0), while the CRST score was 46.0 (39.5, 53.5) and 20.0 (13.0, 23.5), respectively; the Levodopa equivalent dose was 600 (456, 600) mg/d. At 1 year after operation, the total MDS-UPDRSIII score and CRST score were 40.0 (30.0, 60.5) and 16.0 (10.0, 29.5) in the OFF state, and 21.0 (17.5, 27.0) and 2.0 (1.5, 7.0) in the ON state, respectively. Compared with the preoperative levels, follow-up at the two-time points (three months and one year after operation) showed the total MDS-UPDRSIII score, as well as MDS-UPDRSIII tremor, bradykinesia, and rigidity scores of contralateral limbs all significantly improved in OFF state. However, in the ON state, only the total MDS-UPDRSIII score and tremor score of contralateral limbs significantly improved. The total CRST score and the CRST (A + B) score of contralateral limbs significantly improved at three months and one year after the operation compared with before the operation in both ON and OFF states. The Levodopa equivalent dose at one and three months were not significantly different from the preoperative dose (p > 0.05). No serious adverse responses were observed. Conclusion: Treating TDPD with unilateral Vim ablation by MRgFUS could improve the symptoms of limb tremor and the other core symptoms, such as bradykinesia and rigidity, as well as some non-motor symptoms and the symptoms of ipsilateral limbs.
