1.Microglia and Parkinson's disease
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2012;16(24):4549-4554
BACKGROUND: Because dopaminergic neurons are particularly sensitive to oxidative stress, microglia is characteristics of being prone to activation, and activated microglia is the main source of oxygen free radical production, so microglia activation is more important in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease and illness progress.OBJECTIVE: To summarize the correlation between microglia and Parkinson's disease.METHODS: An online computer-based retrieval was performed by the first author among the Chinese Journal Full-Text Database (CNKI: 2000/2010) and Medline (2000/2010) Database, with key words of Parkinson's disease, microglia in English and Chinese. The correlation between microglia and Parkinson's disease was discussed through two aspects, one is the influence of cell factors and toxic substance produced after microglia activation on Parkinson's disease, the other is the inhibition of microglia and prevention of nerve toxic factors on Parkinson's disease progress.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: A total of 112 articles were screened out according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, and 27 of them were involved in the analysis. Results showed that microglia activation will damage dopaminergic neurons, and cause Parkinson's disease. And the occurrence and development of Parkinson's disease may further reduce the neurotransmitter dopamine, continue to damage dopaminergic neurons and release the inflammatory factor, thus promoting microglia activation. Inhibition of microglia activation is likely to stop the progress of Parkinson's disease.

Objective To improve the diagnosis and treatment of primary adrenocortical carcinoma. Methods Retrospective analysis was performed in clinical data of 16 patients with primary adrenocortical carcinoma. The diagnosis was based on clinical presentations,hormonal studies and imaging. Surgical treatment was underwent on 13 cases. All patients were followed up for 3 to 62 months. Results Of 16 cases,functional tumors were in 8,including Cushing′s syndrome in 5,combination of Cushing′s syndrome and virilization in 2,and hyperaldosteronism in 1. Imaging studies revealed the tumors were 4.8 to 19.5 cm in diameter,average in 7.8 cm. Distant metastasis occurred in 3 cases. Radical surgery was done in 13 cases without distant metastasis,including radical adrenalectomy in 8,adrenalectomy plus nephrectomy in 2,adrenalectomy plus surgical extirpation of intracaval tumor thrombus in 2,and partial resection of the wall of inferior vena cava in 1. Pathologic stages were stage Ⅰ in 2 cases,stage Ⅱ in 8,stage Ⅲ in 3,stage Ⅳ in 3. Among the 11 cases who were treated over 2 years after operation,6 cases were still survival,while 1 case had pulmonary and 1 case had bone metastasis. The other 5 cases survive in average of 26 months. Conclusions Prognosis of primary adrenocortical carcinoma is poor. The keys to early diagnosis are clinical manifestations plus imaging. Surgical treatment is the only effective therapy for the disease.
