Objective To study the efficacy and safety of treating Parkinson disease(PD) by repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). Methods 45 patients with PD were randomly divided into two groups. 30 patients received rTMS therapy and 15 patients were given sham stimulation. Stimuli were delivered at an intensity of 110% of resting threshold (RT) and a frequency of 1Hz once a day for 10 days. All the patients were followed-up at 1 month and 3 months after treatment. The efficacy was assessed by UPDRS score, grooved pegboard test, timed motor test and 10m turned back test. All the patients stopped using dopaminergic drugs for at least 12h before each assessment. Results In rTMS treatment group, the UPDRS total scores, UPDRSⅠ-Ⅲ, the mean times of grooved pegboard and 10m turned back test were significantly decreased 10 days after treatment compared with pre-treatment (all (P)0.05), and PDQ scores significantly decreased 3 months after treatment. In sham treatment group, there was no difference of each index between pre- and post-sham treatment.Conclusion Low frequency rTMS may improve the symptoms of the patients with PD and raise their quality of life.

Objective To study the effect of hypothyroidism on oxidative stress status in developing rat brain and to further explore the mechanism of impaired brain development caused by hypothyroidism. Methods Perinatal hypothyroidism was induced by administering propylthiouracil(PTU) solution to the dams by gavage.The oxidative stress indexes were measured in brain homogenate of normal and hypothyroid pups which were sacrificed on the 21st d after birth. Results As compared to the control,the following indexes were found to be increased in the hypothyroid group: protein carbonyl contents,thiobarbital acid reactive substances,reduced glutathione,total antioxidative capacity,activities of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase(P0.05). Conclusion Hypothyroidism during rat brain development may cause oxidative stress,which may be related to the brain damage caused by hypothyroidism.

Objective To investigate the effect of Shenfu injectio on insulin resistance in rabbits undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) . Methods Thirty New Zealand white rabbits of both sexes weighing 2.2-2.5 kg were randomly divided into 3 groups (n = 10 each): group I sham operation (group S); group Ⅰ CPB and group Ⅰ CPB + Shenfu injectio (group SFI). In group IE (group SFI) Shenfii injectio 10 ml/kg was injected intraperitoneally (IP) once a day for 2 days and at 30 min before anesthesia. In group Ⅱ and Ⅲ the duration between aortic cross-clamping and unclamping was 60 min. MAP was maintained at 50-60 mm Hg during CPB. The plasma glucose and insulin concentrations were measured immediately after induction of anesthesia (T_1), immediately after aortic cross-clamping (T_2) , and at 5, 35 and 75 min after aortic unclamping (T_3, T_4 , T_5) and insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) was calculated. The expression of insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1), phosphatidyl-inositol 3 kinase (PI3Kp85) and glucose transporters (CLUT4) in skeletal muscle was detected at 150 min of CPB by immuno-histochemistry. Results Compared with the baseline values at T_1 , plasma glucose and insulin concentrations and HOMA-IR were significantly increased at T_(2-5) in all 3 groups ( P < 0.05) . CPB significantly increased the plasma glucose and insulin concentrations and HOMA-IR at T_(2-5) in group Ⅱ and Ⅲ as compared with group S ( P < 0.05). The expression of PI3Kp85 and GLUT4 in muscle was significantly decreased in group Ⅱ and Ⅲ as compared with group S ( P < 0.05). Shenfu injectio significantly decreased plasma glucose concentration and HOMA-IR and increased plasma insulin concentration in group fD as compared with group Ⅱ . Shenfu injectio significantly attenuated the CPB-induced changes in IRS-1, PI3Kp85 and GLUT4 expression in muscle. Conclusion Shenfu injectio can ameliorate CPB-induced insulin resistance and the mechanism may be related to the up-regulation of the expression of insulin signal transduction molecules in skeletal muscle.
