Objective To investigate the effects of propofol on mesenteric artery in SD rats and to observe whether the effect of propofol on the mesenteric artery relaxation is related to the gap. Methods Pressure myograph was used to examine the effect of 18β-GA and 2-APB on the relaxation induced by propofol 1×10 -7 ,3×10 -7 ,1×10 -6 ,3×10 -6 ,1 ×10 -5 ,3 ×10 -5 ,1 ×10 -4 and 3 ×10 -4 mol/L in acutely separated mesenteric arterioles of SD rat.Results The diameter of mesenteric arteri-oles were increased from (208.6±13.4)to (213.5±13.6),(21 9.7±13.2),(226.4±12.5),(234.9 ±12.3),(245.5±13.0),(267.4±1 5.2),(336.2±18.3)and (385.9 ±14.2)μm after application of 1×10 -7 ,3×10 -7 ,1 × 10 -6 ,3 × 10 -6 ,1 × 10 -5 ,3 × 10 -5 ,1 × 10 -4 and 3 × 10 -4 mol/L propofol,re-spectively.Propofol induced dilation of the rat mesenteric arterioles in a concentration-dependent man-ner (P < 0.01 ).After pretreatment with 18β-GA and 2-APB,1 × 10 -4 mol/L propofol induced dilation was absolutely decreased (P <0.01).Conclusion These results suggest that propofol relaxes mesenteric arterioles via gap junction.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of acupuncture on Parkison disease (PD) with systematic review in view of evidence-based medicine (EBM).Methods Articles on clinical effect of acupuncture on Parkinson disease published from the database-established year to May of 2017 we searched from China National Knowledge Internet (CNKI),Wanfang,VIP,Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM),PubMed,and Cochrane Library databases without language limitation.Quality evaluation and data extraction were carried out according to the tool for assessing risk of bias provided by the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions (Version 5.1.0).All statistical analyses were performed with Reviewer Manager Software (Version 5.3;Cochrane Collaboration,Oxford,UK).Assessments were performed with the total effective rate,the scores of each scale (the unified Parkinson disease rating scales-UPDRS and the Webster scale),and the improvement of different clinical manifestation.Results In all,12 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) met our inclusion criterion,a total of 892 patients,including 468 cases in the experimental group (acupunctuer with or without medicine) and 424 cases in the control group (medicine only).Meta-analysis showed favorable results for the experimental group compared to control group in the total effective rate,the total scales of UPDRS and the modified Webster scale [OR =2.16,95% CI (1.57,2.97),P<0.01;OR =7.20,95% CI(4.02,10.37),P<0.01;OR=3.33,95% CI(2.13,4.53),P <0.01].The experimental group was effective in relieving partial symptoms of PD such as rigidity,postural,gait,bradykinesia compared to the control group,while there was no significant difference in tremor at rest and sit-stand up movements (P > 0.05).Conclusions Acupuncture had certain clinical effect on Parkinson disease,it can relieve the clinical symptoms of Parkinson disease to some extent,and postpone the progression of PD,which improves the quality of life of PD patients.Acupuncture can be recommended as a combination treatment for Parkinson disease.

The delta-opioid receptor (DOR),which is a classic analgesic drug widely existed in the central system and peripheral system,is a kind of inhibitory G-protein coupled receptor with seven transmembrane regions.In addition to pain modulation,the opioid receptors are involved in various physiological and pathological activities through gene or cytokines.This review addresses the influence and possible mechanisms of the delta-opioid receptor in ischemic brain injury,analgesia,anti-anxiety and depression,learning and memory,and Parkinson's disease.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by degeneration and deletion of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and a pathological feature of the Louis body.The clinical manifestations including non motor symptoms and motor symptoms.Cognitive impairment (CI)is one of the most common non motor symptoms in patients with PD,Which includes mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia.MCI is an early manifestation of dementia in PD.Therefore,early diagnosis and treatment of MCI are very important for the prognosis of PD.The epidemiology,risk factors,heredity,biomarkers,imaging,diagnosis and treatment of MCI in PD are reviewed in this paper.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a type of degenerative disease of the nervous system.In addition to its typical clinical symptoms,non-motor symptoms mainly include sensory disorders,neuropsychiatric disorders and autonomic nerve disorders,which also have serious effects on patients.This article reviews the performance,mechanism of non-motor symptoms to improve clinicians' attention and improve the quality of life for Parkinson's patients.
