BACKGROUND: Pergolide and madopar are the effective medicines to treat Parkinson disease, but the effects on the prognosis of patients with Parkinson disease are still under discussion. The progress of neuroimaging makes it possible to evaluate quantitatively the effect of the drug treatment on the prognosis of Parkinson disease.OBJBCTIVE: To observe the influence of pergolide or madopar as initial treatment on the prognosis and the striatal dopaminergic neuron in patients with early Parkinson disease by means of 99Tcm-TRODAT-1 dopamine transporter imaging single-photon emission computed tomtheography (SPECT) in combination with Parkinson disease scale.DESIGN: A randomized grouping, parallel control and placebo control trial.SETTING: Department of Neurology, the 81 Hospital of Chinese PLA;Department of Neurology and Department of Nuclear Medicine, Changhai Hospital of the Second Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.PARTICIPANTS: Thirty-six patients with early Parkinson disease who were recruited at the Specific Clinic of Parkinson Disease in the Shanghai Changhai Hospital affiliated to the Second Military Medical University of Chinese PLA and did not receive any drug treatment before, were enrolled between February and July 2002. They were randomly divided into artane control group (n=12), pergolide-treated group (n=12) and madopar-treated group. The diagnosis accorded with the clinical diagnostic standard set by United Kingdom Society of Parkinson Disease. This protocol was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Changhai Hospital, and all the subjects were enrolled in this study with informed consent.INTERVENTIONS: After test with unified Parkinson disease rating scale (UPDRS) and 99Tcm-TRODAT-1 SPECT, patients in the artane control group, pergolide-treated group and madopar-treated group were treated with corresponding drugs respectively, and each capsule of artane, pergolide and madopar contained drug of 0.05, 0.05 and 125 mg respectively. In the 1st week, the dosage was 1 capsule for each time, once a day, and then the daily dosage was increased by 1 capsule per week later, and the daily dosage reached 0.2, 0.2 and 500 mg respectively after 1 month, and then the dosages were kept constant. The curative effects were evaluated with UPDRS at 6 and 10 months after treatment. At 10 months after treatment,the 99Tcm-TRODAT-1 specific intakes of ipsilateral or contralateral striatum of the affected limb were tested with striatum dopamine transporter SPECT and semi-quantitative analysis.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Changes of percentage of 99Tcm-TRODAT-1 decrease of ipsilateral or contralateral striatum of the affected limb at 10 months after treatment were compared among the three groups;② Changes of UPDRS scores before and after treatment were compared among the three groups.RESULTS: Totally 36 patients were involved in the study, and 1 case lost in each of the 3 groups respectively at 10 months after treatment, finally 33 cases entered the analysis of results. ① Changes of percentage of 99Tcm-TRODAT-1 decrease of ipsilateral or contralateral striatum of the affected limb at 10 months after treatment: At 10 months after treatment, the percentage of 99Tcm-TRODAT-1 decrease of ipsilateral or contralateral striatum of the affected limb were obviously higher in the madopar-treated group than in the artane control group and pergolide-treated group [(46.3±19.4)%, (28.9±13.0)%, (34.4±18,1)%; (47.5±20.8)%, (31.8±15.6)%, (33.8±17.2)%; P all ＜ 0.05]. ② Changes of UPDRS scores before and after treatment: As compared with the UPDRS scores before treatment, there was no obvious change in the artane control group at 10 months after treatment,but those in the madopar-treated group and pergolide-treated group were obviously decreased [(15.5±8.68), (6.4±9.05); (15.8±6.75), (10.36±8.30); Pall ＜ 0.05].CONCLUSION: Both madopar and pergolide can ameliorate the symptoms of early Parkinson disease, but they had different influences on the prognosis of patients with Parkinson disease. Madopar may accelerate the apoptosis of dopaminergic neuron and then aggravate the severity, but pergolide does not affect the prognosis of Parkinson disease, so it is a more suitable selective drug for the treatment of early Parkinson disease.

BACKGROUND: Selegiline can effectively alleviate motor disorder symptoms during the earlier stage of Parkinson disease(PD),but the influence on prognosis is still warmly discussed. With the development of neuroiconologicai study,the objective predictor for dopaminergic neuronal degeneration in PD would became possible.OBJECTIVE: To observe the influence of selegiline on dopaminergic neurons in earlier stage of PD with the aid of iconology.DESIGN: Randomized controlled study based on patients.SETTING: Neurological department in a military hospital of Chinese PLA,the nuclear medicine and neurological department in a military medical hospital of Chinese PLA.PARTICIPANTS: Between April and December 2001,25 patients were selected from PD specific clinic of Changhai Hospital,the Second Military Medical University of Chinese PLA. They were confirmed of earlier stage of PD without given any related drugs.INTERVENTIONS: Totally 25 patients were randomly divided into placebo group of 13 cases and selegiline group of 12 cases. After assessed with unified PD rating scale(UPDRS),they were given placebo and selegiline respectively with the dosage gradually increased from 0.05 mg at the beginning and added with 0.05 mg every week for four weeks until reaching the sustaining dosage of 0.2 mg. Dopamine transporting protein (99Tcm-TRODAT-1) examination and single photon emission-computerized tomography (SPECT) were performed at entering the experiment and after the treatment for 13 months,and semi-quantitative analysis was used for counting striatal emission of the ipsilateral and contralateral side. Scores for UPDRS were obtained at entering the experiment,after the treatment for 6months and 13 months.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:①Main outcomes:The differences ofstriatal 99Tcm-TRODAT-1 specific intake decreasing percentage on ipsilateral and contralateral side were compared between the two groups after the treatment for 13 months.②Subordinate outcome:Scores for UPDRS of the two groups was also compared.RESULTS: After the treatment for 13 months,striatal 99Tcm-TRODAT-1 specific intake decreasing percentages were (28.9 ± 13.0)% and(31.8 ± 15.6) % on ipsilateral and contralateral side of placebo group compared with the corresponding (30.39 ± 14. 7)% and(32.6 ± 16. 6)% of the selegiline group,the difference was of no statistical significance( P ＞ 0.05). Scores for UPDR was(23.7 ±4.3) in placebo group and(13.1 ± 5.5) in selegiline group after the treatment for 6 months,and(27.0 ±4.3) and(9. 8 ±4. 8) after the treatment for 13 months,indicating that slegiline group was obviously better than placebo group( P ＜ 0. 05).CONCLUSION: Selegiline showed better therapeutic effect in the treatment of earlier-stage PD without increasing the apoptosis of striatal dopaminergic neurons.

The effects of hypoxia on the expression of Fos was studied in the distal cerebrospinal fluid contacting neurons (CSF-CNs) in the dorsal raphe nucleus (DR) of the rat. The hypoxic models mimic 8000 m high level were established in a high-altitude decompression chamber. Injecting the tracer of CB ( chorela toxin B subunit) into the rat's lateral ventricles, we investigated the distribution of the distal CSF-CNs in the DR. The single and double immunohistochemistry staining with antibodies to Fos and CB were used to observe the expression of Fos in the distal CSF-CNs in the DR. The results showed that a large number of CB-like immunoreactive (-LI) neurons (31.16 ±3.36/per section) were located in the DR. In hypoxic experimental rats, the number of Fos-LI neurons was increased sharply (40.28 ±2.17/per section, P ＜0.05 compared to control rats), and a few CB/Fos-LI neurons (2.00 ±0.39/per section) could be observed in the DR. In control rats, several Fos-LI neurons (5.55 ±0.81/per section) and no CB/Fos-LI neuron could be observed in the DR. These results suggest that some of the distal CSF-CNs in the DR may play roles in transmitting information between brain and cerebrospinal fluid and modulating the function of brain following hypoxic stimulation.
