Parkinson's disease (PD) caused by the deficiency of DA in the substantial nigra-striatum system in the brain is a chronically progressive disease. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment PD can prolong work time and improve life quality of the patient. There are three primary approaches to increase activity of dopaminergic system:vicarious treatment to compensate DA; promote releasing DA in nerve endings of dopamine neurons and to prevent decreasing DA metabolism,as well as application of agonists that stimulate dopamine receptors. Some specialists suggest that application of dopaminergic agonists in the initial stage can not only delay the occurrence of syndrome on side effects with long-term use of levodopa,but also prevent the damage of dopaminergic cell caused by levodopa or its metabolite,and delay the development of PD. There are positive and adverse effects with DA agonists. This paper discussed the usage and side effects of classic and new dopaminergic agonists.

Objective To establish a reverse transcription-PCR(RT-PCR) assay for detecting ASPP1 mRNA expression levels in normal blood monocyte and leukemia jurkat,HL-60 and K-562 cell lines.And to analyze the differences in relative expression levels of ASPP1 in respective cell line by calculating the value of ASPP1/?-actin for evaluating the effects of ASPP1 on inhibiting the malignant transformation of normal cells.Methods The monocyte isolation reagent was used to isolate normal blood monocyte,and the RPMI 1640 medium was used to culture jurkat,HL-60 and K562 cell lines.The cell RNA was extracted with TripureTM reagent and amplified by RT-PCR.The amplified products were E.B.stained and 10?l of the products were used for agarose gel electrophoresis.The expression levels of ASPP1 mRNA and ?-actin in respective cell line were measured and then compared.Result The ASPP1 mRNA was expressed both in normal blood monocyte and all the leukemic cells.The value of ASPP1/?-actin was 0.545?0.019 in normal blood monocyte,and it was 0.155?0.081,0.199?0.016 and 0.191?0.015,respectively,in the leukemic cells jurkat,HL-60,and K-562.The expression level of ASPP1 mRNA was higher in normal cells than that in the three leukemic cell lines.Conclusion On the process of tumor development,an ASPP1-p53 compound is formed by collaborated effects of ASPP1 and p53,which may act on the arch-apoptosis gene promoter,specifically enhance the ability of p53 binding DNA,and reinforce the function of p53 in enhancing apoptosis.The declined expression and/or deprived function of ASPP1 might lead to tumorigenesis,implying that the function of ASPP1 in enhancing p53 apoptosis may play an important role on inhibiting the malignant transformation of normal cells.

Objective To investigate the thyroid structure changes using a high-frequency sonography and thyroid dysfunction in end-stage renal failure(ESRF) patients.Methods From Jan.2012 to Apr.2012,50 ESRF patients and 55 consecutive outpatients(nonthyroid diseases visitors)as normal controls were included in the study.The size of thyroid gland was measured with ultrasonography and the volume was calculated.The internal echo changes and status of nodules were observed.Measurement such as thyroid hormones,parathyroid hormones and renal function were performed all patients.Results The serum level of T3,FT3 in ESRF patients were significantly lower than those of the control patients(1.05 ±0.23 mg/ml vs 1.14 ±0.25 pg/ml,P =0.038;3.1 ± 0.41 pg/ml vs 3.31 ±0.57 pg/ml,P =0.029),while the serum level of TSH was significandy higher in ESRF group than in the control group (3.29 ± 1.77 mIU/L vs 2.37 ± 0.67 mIU/L,P =0.001).Ultrasonography showed that 32％ (16/50) of ESRF patients and 3.6％ (2/55) of the controls had thyroid goiter (P ＜ 0.001).Compared to ESRF patients without nodules,the average age was significantly higher in patients with nodules (52.94 ± 14.21 vs 42.32 ± 11.37,P =0.006).Conclusion ESRF patients tend to have a higher incidence of alteration of thyroid function and nodular goiter which can be effectively assessed by ultrasonography.

The change of lung lymph after endotoxin-induced lung injury was studied using a sheep model with chronic lung lymph fistula. After endotoxin injection Ppa、PMV、 Q_L、CL_p、L_A/P_A、and Kf all increased markedly. The ratios of effects of pressure and permeability on Q_L were 1:0.53 and 1:2.31 during phase I and phase H respectively. The results indicated that the formation of pulmonary edema after injury related mainly to the increases of PMV and Kf and to the decrease of effective colloid osmotic pressure. The PMV was the main factor of formating edema during phase I and the permeability was that during phase Ⅱ.

Objective To explore the prophyl axis and the timing of operation for pancreatic infection in patients with sever e acute pancreatitis(SAP).Methods 2 23 patients with SAP were treated in ICU from 1990 to 1999. The measures adopted against pancreatic infection included fluid resuscitation, nutritional support, antibiotics and prevention of hypoxemia, hypoperfusion and gut barrier dysf unction etc. Indication for operation in SAP was early pancreatic infection from 1990 to 1994. From 1995 to 1999, drainage of pancreatic abscess or localized infection with debridement of necrotic tissues was adopted. Results 23 (10.3%) patients received operation due t o pancreatic infection. The morbidity rate (8.7%) of pancreatic infection betwe en 1995 to 1999 was lower than that (12.4%) between 1990 to 1994. The postoper ative mortality rate (8%) of pancreatic abscess or localized infection was lower than that (50%) of early pancreatic infection. Co nclusion Comprehensive prophylaxis of pancreatic infection a nd delayed operation for pancreatic abscess or localized infection are effective treatment of SAP.

Objective To study the diagnosis and treatment of restless legs syndrome(RLS)in the elderly.Methods The diagnosis of RLS was based on criteria proposed by the International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group.Ten elderly patients with RLS were enrolled in the research. The clinical presentation and treatment results were analyzed retrospectively.Results All 10 patients were complained of compelling urge to move their limbs.The sensory symptoms were involved in the 4 patients' legs,involved both arms and legs in another 5 patients.It occurred unilaterally in the left of I patient.All patients complained of syndromes aggravated in the night, other three patients also had distinct syndromes in the daytime.Three patients had family history of RLS.The unpleasant sensations were partially or totally relieved by movement.Neurophysiological tests in 5 patients were normal.The iron deficiency occurred only in 1 patient with low serum ferritin and iron levels,Rebound and augmentation were observed in 1 patient in the course of three years treatment with Sinemet.All patients administered a dopamine receptor agonist(pergolide)and showed positive results.Oral administration of iron improved RLS symptoms in a patient with iron deficiency. Conclusions The diagnosis of RLS is usually based on the patient's clinical presentation,which has characteristic feature in the elderly.Rebound and augmentation are serious side-effects in the course of long-term treating with L-DOPA.Therapy of RLS with dopamine receptor agonists is firstly chosen.

Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed in healthy subjects (n = 12) and patients with bronchial asthma (n = ll). Between two groups there were no significant differences in total cells and percentage of alveolar macrophages (AM), lymphocytes, ncutrophils, cosinophils in BAL fluids. When AM were cultured in vitro and stimulated with dermatophagoides farinae(DPF) antigen, the quantity of PGE released by AM was significantly increased in asthmatics. When asthmatics' AM were sensitized with specific IgE positive serum and stimulated with DPF, they released more PGE, PGF2a than that when specific IgE negative serum was used (P
