Objective To investigate the changes and significance of plasma level of homocysteine (Hcy) in Parkinson disease (PD) patients with cognitive dysfunction. Methods Ninety-two PD patients were enrolled. Among them, 51 patients had mild cognitive impairment (CI), and the other 41 had not CI. Forty healthy subjects were enrolled as control group. The information including gender, age, illness duration, years of education and Hoehn and Yahr (H-Y) stage were recorded. Cognitive function of all the patients with PD and the controls were measured by using Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scale. Plasma levels of Hcy, folic acid and vitamin B12 were measured by high performance liquid chromatography or radioimmunoassay. Results The plasma level of Hcy in PD group was significantly higher than that in control group: (16.72 ± 5.52) μmol/L vs. (13.65 ± 5.16) μmol/L, there was statistical difference (P<0.05). The plasma level of Hcy in patients with CI was (18.13 ± 4.67)μmol/L, and the patients without CI was (15.44 ± 3.71) μmol/L, the plasma levels of Hcy in patients with CI and without CI were significantly higher than that in control group, furthermore the plasma level of Hcy in patients with CI was significantly higher than that in patients without CI, there were statistical differences (P<0.05). The plasma level of folic acid in PD group was significantly lower than that in control group:(7.15 ± 3.54) μg/L vs. (8.73 ± 3.78) μg/L, there was statistical difference (P<0.05). The plasma level of folic acid in patients with CI was (7.11 ± 3.95) μg/L, and the patients without CI was (7.36 ± 3.84) μg/L, the plasma levels of folic acid in patients with CI and without CI were significantly lower than that in control group, there were statistical differences (P<0.05). But there was no statistical difference in the plasma of folic acid between patients with CI and patients without CI (P>0.05). There was no statistical difference in the plasma of vitamin B12 between the 2 groups (P>0.05). There was a negative relationship between plasma levels of Hcy and folic acid (r =-0.576, P<0.01). The plasma level of Hcy in early PD patients was significantly lower than that in middle-late patients:(15.14 ± 5.31)μmol/L vs. (17.75 ± 5.87) μmol/L, there was statistical difference (P<0.05), and there were no statistical differences in the plasma levels of folic acid and vitamin B12 between early PD patients and middle-late patients (P>0.05). The correlation analysis results showed that MoCA score was positive correlation with years of education (β = 0.541, P = 0.000), MoCA score was negative correlation with illness duration, H-Y stag and plasma level of Hcy (β=-0.417, -0.367 and-0.515;P=0.026, 0.037 and 0.000), but MoCA score was not correlation with age, plasma levels of folic acid and vitamin B12 (P>0.05). Conclusions The changes of plasma level of Hcy may be involved in the pathogenesis of patients with PD. The elevated plasma level of Hcy is significantly correlated with CI, it is an important risk factors of CI in patients with PD.

Objective To assess the clinical safety and effectiveness of Boomerang closure device (Boomerang Percutaneous Femoral Access Management System) applied to patients undergoing coronary angiography (CAG) and/or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods206 patients undergoing CAG and/or PCI were randomly divided into the heparin group and low molecular heparin (LWMH) group. The hemostasia success rate, hemostasia time, manual pressure time, device dwell time, complication rate and time to ambulation with each other of two groups were compared.ResultsThe heparin group and LWMH group both had high hemostasia success rate (98.06% and 99.03%), there wasn't significant difference between two groups. There was one patient with hematoma formation in the heparin group and LWMH group respectively. There was no significant difference between two groups in hemostasia time, manual pressure time, the device dwell time and time to ambulation.ConclusionAfter CAG and/or PCI, administered heparin and low molecular heparin is no effect on Boomerang closure device, and Boomerang closure device has a high hemostasia success rate.

Objective To improve the diagnosis and treatment of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephri- tis(XGP).Methods The clinical data of 18 cases(5 males and 13 females;mean age,47 years)with XGP were analyzed.Of them,6 had the lesion on the left,and 12 on the right.Before operation,XGP was mis- diagnosed as renal calculus with hydronephrosis in 4 cases,ureteral calculus with severe hydronephrosis in 3 cases,renal tuberculosis in 3 cases and renal carcinoma in 8 cases.Results Of the 18 cases,7 were diag- nosed to have XGP by frozen section during operation and 11 cases had a definite diagnosis by pathological examination after nephrectomy.After a follow-up of 6-124 months,no recurrence was observed in all these 18 cases.Conclusions Preoperative diagnosis of XGP is difficult.This disease is clinically characterized by foam cells in urine smear,low-density value of kidney CT and ineffective antibiotic therapy.Combined a- nalysis of clinical data and improvement of clinical recognition of XGP is the key to avoiding delayed diagno- sis or misdiagnosis of XGP.

Objective: To clarify chemical dynamic change of volatile oil of Root of Changium Smyrnioides Wolff during Processing, to analyse and study the change of constituent proportion to see if new constituents produce or original constituents disappear, to discuss the processing mechanism of root of Changium smyrnioides . Method: The constituents and contain of volatile oils of root of Changium smyrnioides before, during and after processing are comparatively analyzed by using techniques of combined capillary gas chromatography mass spectrometry computer. Result: 34 chemical compounds are identified, among them there were 29 compounds isolated from volatile oil of fresh root of Changium smyrnioides, with a proportion of 97.873% in total oil, its main constituent is CSY and its content reaches 70.946%; 34 compounds were isolated from volatile oil of fresh decorticated root of Changium smyrnioides, with a propoction of 93.452%, main constituent is CSY, its content reaches 75.909%; and 19 compounds from volatile oil of fresh root cortices of Changium smyrnioides, 96.878% , main constituent is CSY, content 70.977%; 11 compounds from volatile oil of processed root of Changium smyrnioides, 88.839%, main constituent is CSY, content 67.234%. Conclusion: Main reasons of non sensibilization of processed root of Changium smyrnioides are considered to be the content decrease and qualitative change of the volatile oils, and the content of snsibilization activity constituent——CSY decreased from 0.0497% to 0.0134%.

Objective: The Phenomenon of different species with the same name has created potential threats to cinical safety of medication. Because of that, two kinds of “gonglao leaf” and their sibling adulterants have been identified by molecular methods in this study, to secure its safety in medication. Methods: Ilexcornuta, Mahoniabealei, Mahoniafortuneiand their sibling adulterants total of 9 species 45 samples were collected in this experiment,Total genomic DNA was extracted from them by the method of improved CTAB, ITS2 sequences were amplified, and the PCR products were sequenced. Sequence assembly and consensus sequence generation were performed by the CodonCode Aligner V 4.2.4.. The genetic distances were computed by MEGA 6.0 in accordance with the Kimura 2-Parameter (K2P) model and the phylogenetic tree constructed by the neighbor-joining (NJ) method. Results: The analysis results of the genetic distances, variable sites and the NJ phylogenetic tree showed that Ilexcornuta, Mahoniabealei, Mahoniafortunei were seperated from their sibling adulterants obviously. Conclusion: ITS2 sequence was able to identify two kinds of “gonglao leaf” and their sibling adulterants which can provide a basis for clinical accurate medication.
