Objective To systematically review findings on the effectiveness and safety of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for treating Parkinson's disease. Methods Foreign and Chinese databases were searched to find relevant trials. The searches were supplemented by searching the reference lists of the published trials. The studies were separated into two groups: those applying TMS at frequencies higher than 1 Hz, and those at 1 Hz or lower. Meta-analysis was performed with the aid of RevMan 5.0 software. Results Both low-frequency and highfrequency TMS can significantly reduce total scores on the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) compared with sham stimulations. High-frequency TMS can significantly reduce UPDRS motor scores compared with sham stimulations. On the other hand, low-frequency TMS studies showed no significant overall improvement in motor scores, mental scores or in the activities of daily living (ADL) UPDRS scores. Low-frequency and high-frequency TMS studies also showed no significant overall improvement in Schwab and England ADL scores. Conclusions TMS therapy is safe and partially effective for treating Parkinson's disease.

Objective To observe the effects of the different serum uric acid levels on expression of Alzheimer’s disease biomarkers (APP and BACE1) in rats. Methods Intraperitoneal injection of oxygen of oxazine acid potassium was used to produce HUA models in rats. H&E staining was used to detect the morphological changes of the hippocampus. Western blot was used to detect the protein levels of APP and BACE1 of the hippocampus. Results Compared with nor-mal control group, the serum uric acid and the protein levels of APP and BACE1 in the hippocampus was obviously in-creased at OAPS treatment group (P<0.01). Compared with low dose OAPS treatment group, the serum uric acid level was significantly increased whereas the protein levels of APP and BACE1 in the hippocampus were significantly decreased at the middle and high dose group (P<0.01). Compared with middle dose group, the serum uric acid level was increased at high dose group (P<0.05) and the expression of APP were decreased in the hippocampus rats but the expression of BACE1 remained unchanged (P>0.05). Conclusion The higher level of serum uric acid may be a protective factor of AD. The higher serum uric acid levels, the lower the risk of AD.

During the COVID-19 epidemic period, general practitioners have been actively participating in screening and triage, referrals, follow-up, education and other activities related to disease prevention and control at the grass-roots level. However, there are still some problems: such as unclear of the role of general practitioners in an epidemic setting, inadequate ability to respond to public health emergencies and lack of knowledge of infectious diseases. To meet the challenge of COVID-19 pandemic, with the reference of Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) six core clinical competencies we suggest to improve the standardized general practice residency training in following aspects: to attach importance to infectious disease rotation, to increase the stomatology and nutrition course learning, to strengthen teaching in general practice service model, preventive medicine and medical humanities, to enhance the ability for dealing with public health emergencies, the evidence-based medicine and scientific research ability and doctor-patient communication ability.

Objective To investigate the relationship among the activity of diseases , the alteration of intestinal flora and the serum immuoglobulin (Ig) in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and to further evaluate the clinical value of fecal cue ratio in assessing humoral immune abnormalities. Methods Clinical data of 401 UC patients admitted in Peking University First Hospital from January 2013 to May 2015 were analyzed. According to Mayo index , patients were divided into inactive and active groups , and the active group was further divided into the mild, moderate and severe group. Serum immunoglobulin (IgG, IgM, IgA, C3 and C4) and fresh fecal bacteria cue proportion were measured. Statistical analysis was made to find the relevance among the above indexes. Results With the increase of disease activity , the intestinal flora imbalance aggravated (Spearmann correlation coefficient equals 0.295, P < 0.05) and serum IgM decreased significantly. However, serum C3 increased obviously. Serum C4 increased in mild to moderate group but decreased significantly in severe group. With the aggravation of intestinal flora imbalance , serum IgM and IgA decreased but C3 increased (P < 0.05). Conclusions The measurement of intestinal flora cue proportion, Ig, C3 and C4 may contribute to better determining the severity of diseases and provide beneficial information for therapy.

AIM To study the effect and mechanism of valdecoxib, a selective COX 2 inhibitor, on human gastric cancer BGC 823 cells. METHODS MTT assay and flow cytometry were used to observe the effect of valdecoxib on proliferation, apoptosis and the cell cycle distribution of BGC 823 cells. Laser confocal microscopy, transmission electron microscope and DNA fragmentation assay were further used to detect the apoptosis. The content of LDH was examined using LDH kit. RESULTS Valdecoxib in 25~400 ?mol?L -1 significantly inhibited the proliferation of BGC 823 cell in a time and dose dependent fashion, the inhibition rate of proliferation was 24 0%~92 0% after 72 h, and the rate of apoptosis was increased from (2 6?0 7)% to (7 6?1 5) %~(16 5?1 5)%. 100~400 ?mol?L -1 valdecoxib also decreased the proliferation index and the proportion of cells in the S phase, increased the proportion of cells in the G 0/G 1 phase, but had no effect on the proportion of cell in the G 2/M phase. CONCLUSION Valdecoxib inhibits human gastric cancer BGC 823 cells growth by inducing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. The growth inhibitory effect of 400 ?mol?L -1 valdecoxib is also associated with cell necrosis.
