1.Fatigue in Parkinson's disease: a review
Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2016;35(4):438-443
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder with typical motor symptoms and a variety of non-motor symptoms,including neuropsychiatric symptoms,autonomic dysfunctions,abnormal sense,sleep disorders and fatigue.Studies showed that several non-motor symptoms,such as olfactory dysfunction,constipation,rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder,depression and fatigue,can occur before the onset of motor symptoms.Fatigue has been considered as one of the most disabling symptoms,and it has a significant impact on activity of daily living and quality of life,and brings heavy burdens to caregivers.However,fatigue in PD has no special biomarkers,so clinicians are lack of the recognition and intervention.Here,we will expound the prevalence,risk factors,rating scales and potential mechanism relating to neuropathology,neuroinflammation and neurobiochemistry in PD patients with fatigue.

Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2016;32(6):846-852,853
Aim Toinvestigatetheroleofhyperglyce-mia in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion(I/R)injury with a middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO)rat model anditsmechanism.Methods EightyhealthymaleSD rats were randomly assigned into sham group, I/R group (normoglycemia),hyperglycemic I/R groupⅠ(HG1 )and hyperglycemic I/R groupⅡ(HG2 ).The cerebral I/R model was established by occluding the middle cerebral artery(MCA)in rats.Hyperglycemia was induced by intraperitoneal injection of 50% glu-cose solution.Neurological deficit was determined by Ludmila Belayev test;infarct size and brain edema were measured by TTC staining;mitophagy was ob-served by double immunofluorescent staining and elec-tron microscope.The expressions of autophagy-related proteins(LC3 and Beclin-1 )and apoptosis-related pro-teins(Cyt-C,AIF,caspase-9 and caspase-3 )were ex-aminedbyWesternblotfurtherly.Results Bloodglu-cose level was controlled at 4 mmol·L-1 (normoglyce-mia),10 mmol · L-1 (HG1 ) and 20 mmol · L-1 (HG2)respectively.There were no significant differ-ences between model group and HG1 group in neuro-logical deficit scores,infarct volume and edema size(P>0. 05 ).However,these indications in HG2 group were significantly increased compared with model group (P<0. 05 ).After 3 days of reperfusion,the level of mitophagy was significantly reduced accompanied with increased mitochondria damages in HG 2 group (P <0. 05 ),and the expressions of mitochondrial related ap-optotic proteins(Cyt-C,AIF,caspase-9 and caspase-3 ) were significantly increased accordingly compared to modelgroup.Conclusions Mildhyperglycemiacan not intensify the cerebal ischemic injury.In contrast, severe hyperglycemia significantly aggravates the brain ischemic injury by inhibiting the removal of injured mi-tochondria in a manner of mitophagy,thus amplifying the mitochondrial mediated cascade damage responses.
3.Restricting Factors of the Construction of the Medical Morality and Countermeasures
Chinese Medical Ethics 1996;0(01):-
Current resource of medical morality is in shortage.When emphasizing the exterior supervision of the government,we should put more emphasis on the exterior restricting factors which are more profound,such as the excursion of the norm to the experts,the excessive market-orientation of medical innovation,the shortage of financial devotion,the deficiency of hospital management system.To solve the above problems,a fair medical surrounding is to be built,a patients association be established,and the social honesty and credit mechanism be rebuilt.

Abstract?AlM:To analyze the blindness causes of 1854 cases in our hospital hospitalized patients, and explore the strategy and direction of blindness prevention according to the different treatment efficacy.?METHODS: Cluster sampling was used to select from September 2010 to August 2013 in our hospital department of ophthalmology patients 5 473 cases, in which total of 1 854 cases of blind patients, accounting for 33. 88% of hospitalized patients. According to the WHO's criteria of blindness. The BCVA enacted <0. 05 or vision radius less than 10 degrees are for the blind, and the exclusion of less than 3 years old children don't cope with visual inspection of the inclusion criteria for age and cause of blindness blind patients were analyzed. To the blind to patient age and etiology were analyzed, the main cause of blindness and statistics of all ages, records of the blind patients after treatment eye sight;and calculating the blindness of the literacy rate, on the blindness through analysis of the causes of the risk treatment.?RESULTS:ln 1 854 cases of blind patients, including 728 people right-eye blinding, 767 people left-eyes blinding, 359 people total blinding, adding up to 2 213 eyes, aged from 60~80 years old were in the majority. The top three diseases resulting blindness were cataract, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma. ln 2 213 blind eyes, the eyes treated were 2 172, of which 1 762 eyes ( 81. 12%) were succeeded, 410 eyes ( 18. 88%) failed. ln the failed cases, the first three diseases were diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and retinal detachment.?CONCLUSlON: ln recent years, disease etiology of blinding eye has changed, but cataracts, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma are still high incidence of blindness due, so the treatment of diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and retinal detachment should be the emphasis for blindness prevention and treatment in the future.

BACKGROUND:Al ogeneic penetrating keratoplasty is the most effective method for treating corneal blindness. However, the incidence of rejections is high after keratoplasty, so it is urgent to develop an immunosuppressive drug with high efficacy and low toxicity. OBJECTIVE:To establish al ogeneic penetrating keratoplasty models and monitor the expression of tumor necrosis factor-αin blank control group and after transforming growth factor-β1 eyedrop during acute rejection period of corneal grafts. METHODS:Al ogeneic penetrating keratoplasty models were established and were randomly divided into blank control group, ciclosporin A group (1%ciclosporin A), and transforming growth factor-β1 group (1μg/ml transforming growth factor-β1 eyedrop). The medications from each group commenced at 1 day after surgery, one eyedrop once, three eyedrops per day. Al the operated eyes were given 0.3%ofloxacin ophthalmic solutions and 0.5%tropicaide ophthalmic solution, three times per day, for 12 days. The corneal grafts were harvested for hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunihistochemical staining (SABC method), to detect tumor necrosis factor-αexpression in corneal grafts. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that, corneal grafts were significantly thickened, a large number of histoleucocytes and lymphocytes infiltrated in the blank control group;corneal grafts showed normal thickness and no inflammatory cel s infiltrated in the transforming growth factor-β1 group. Immunohistochemical staining showed that, there were less cel s positive for tumor necrosis factor-αin the transforming growth factor-β1 group compared with the blank control group (P<0.05). Transforming growth factor-β1 eyedrops can reduce the expression of tumor necrosis factor-αin the corneal grafts during acute rejection period, and reduce the inflammatory cel s infiltration in the corneal grafts, which is probably the mechanism of transforming growth factor-β1 to prevent and treat corneal al ograft rejection.
