Alzheimer's disease is a common neurodegenerative disease. One of the main pathology is neurofibrillary tangles in neurons,in which principal component is the phosphorylation of tau protein. Previous studies focused on senile plaques and Aβ levels. Recent studies indicated that the development of tau protein closely associated with Alzheimer's disease, especially the abnormal phosphorylation. This paper reviewed the relationship between tau protein phosphorylation and Alzheimer's disease based on the perspective of protein kinases and phosphatases.

ObjectiveTo observe the synergistic action of lower He-sea and Front-mu points in treating functional dyspepsia by adopting electroacupuncture at the lower He-sea and Frong-mu points of stomach.MethodSixty patients with functional dyspepsia were randomized into a lower He-sea group, a Front-mu group, and a combining group of lower He-sea and Front-mu points, to receive treatment once daily, 5 sessions a week, totally for 4 weeks. Nepean Dyspepsia Index (NDI) was tested before and after intervention, and the general therapeutic efficacy was evaluated.ResultThe total effective rate was 100.0% in the combining group, versus 90.0% in the Front-mu group and 90.0% in the lower He-sea group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The follow-up study showed that the total effective rate was 100.0% in the combining group, versus 90.0% in the Front-mu group and 85.0% in the lower He-sea group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Before treatment, therewere no significant inter-group differences in comparing Nepean Dyspepsia Symptom Index (NDSI) and Nepean Dyspepsia Life Quality Index (NDLQI)(P>0.05), while there were significant differences in comparing NDSI and NDLQI after treatment (P<0.05). ConclusionIt can improve the functional dyspepsia symptoms by using the lower He-sea point and Front-mu point together or using them separately, while the combining use can produce a more significant efficacy.

Objective To evaluate the effects of fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on the gradient between arterial and end-tidal carbon dioxide (D(a-ET)CO2).Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients (body mass index < 30 kg/m2),aged 25-50 yr,weighing 45-75 kg,scheduled for elective gynecological laparoscopic surgery,were randomized into A,B and C groups (n =20 each).The patients were mechanically ventilated with pure oxygen in group A,and with air and O2 (FiO2 =50%) in groups B (PEEP =0) and C (PEEP =5 cm H2O).PETCO2 was monitored during mechanically ventilation.Blood samples were obtained from the radial artery immediately after tracheal intubation (T1) and at 1 h of pneumoperitoneum (T2) for blood gas analysis.D(a-ET) CO2 and Qs/Qt were calculated.Results D(a-ET) CO2 and Qs/Qt were significantly lower at T2 in groups B and C than in group A (P < 0.05).Compared with group B,D(a-ET)CO2 was significantly decreased at T2 (P < 0.05),and no significant change was found in Qs/Qt in group C (P > 0.05).Conclusion Decreased FiO2 and PEEP of 5 cm H2O can decrease D(a-ET)CO2 and increase the accuracy of PErCO2 for reflection of PaCO2,which is due to reduced intrapulmonary shunt.
