Objective To discuss the clinical effect of behavioral therapy combined with pramipexole in patients’ degree of depression and non-motor symptoms in early-onset Parkinson’s disease and depression.Methods A total of 74 cases of patients with early-onset Parkinson’s disease and depression were equally divided into observation group and control group, 37 cases in each groups.Patients in control group were given pramipexole, while patients in observation group were given pramipexole and behavioral therapy.The hamilton depression ( HAMD) scale, Zung self-rating depression scale and unified Parkinson’s disease rating scale ( UPDRS ) were used to evaluate and measure the change of degree of depression and non-motor symptoms.Results Before treatment, the HAMD score, Zung score, UPDRS II score and UPDRS III score between two groups had no statistical difference; after treatment, the HAMD score, Zung score, UPDRS II score and UPDRS III score in two groups were significantly decreased (P<0.05). The HAMD score, and Zung score between two groups had no statistical difference at the end of 4th weekends, and compared with control group, those scores in observation group were much better at the end of 8th and 12th weekend (P<0.05).The UPDRS II and UPDRS III between two group had no statistical difference at the end of 4-8th week, while those scores in observation group were better than those in control group at the end of 12th week(P<0.05).Conclusion Behavioral therapy combined with pramipexole has a great effect on the improvement of patients’ degree of depression and non-motor symptoms, which has a positive promotion on patients’ life quality.

BACKGROUND:Basic research demonstrated that type Ⅰ collagen exhibited prominent effect on osteogenesis,bone mass and bone fracture,which also participated in the bone fusion.However,few reports concerning the polymorphism of type Ⅰ collagen gene and spinal fusion.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the polymorphism of type Ⅰ collagen and to explore its relationship with the spinal fusion rate following metal implant or autogenous bone transplantation.METHODS:A total of 200 volunteers who need to receive spinal fusion in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University Medical College were selected,including 102 cases received anterior cervical subcorpectomy combined with lilac bone implantation fusion following decompression,and 98 cases received posterior laminectomy for decompression combined with intertransverse process fusion.Meantime,223 normal adults were served as the control group.The peripheral blood was drawn-off and genomic DNA was extracted from white blood cells.The specific fragment which includes the objective gene was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR),with length of 293 bp.The genotypes of Pcol2 site in type Ⅰ collagen were detected by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method.The PCR product was digested with restriction endonuclease Eco311 and the result was observed by agarose gel electrophoresis.The G gene represented for the presence of the restriction endonuclease site,while the T gene for the absence of the restriction endonuclease site.The fusion rate of the bone graft was evaluated by x-ray film prior to and at months 3,6 and 12 after operation,and the results were compared by stages including quick (<3 months),middle (3-6 months) and slow (6-12 months).RESULT AND CONCLUSION:There were the-1997G/T polymorphisms of the type Ⅰ collagen gene in 423 cases,including 166cases with GG,232 cases with GT,and 25 cases with TT,in addition,there was some correlation between the GG genotype and the lilac bone implantation fusion (P =0.004).The GG genotype accounted for 50% in the fast group,which was obviously greater than that of the middle and slow groups (33.3% and 16.7%,respectively).However,the-1997G/T polymorphisms had no correlation with the bone graft fusions inter transverse process of lumbar vertebra (P=0.831).The GG genotype in the-1997G/T polymophsim of the type Ⅰ collagen gene may be the essential factor which can promote the C-spine auto-ilium graft fusion.

Objective To assess the safety and the efficacy of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided transmural drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts (PPC).Methods A total of 17 patients with PPC who underwent EUS to detect the optimal site and depth of puncture.The needle was punctured into the PPC cavity through endoscopic biopsy hole,cyst fluid was drained with a syringe.The guide wire was inserted along the pinhole under X-ray,and then the needle-knife was sent along the guide wire to cut the gastric wall and pseudocysts wall,followed by balloon dilation.The way of drainage was selected according to the cyst fluid properties.The technical success rate,treatment success rate,complication occurring rate and the skills were evaluated.Results Four patients were with nasalcystic catheter drainage,9 patients with double pigtail stents internal drainage,and 4 patients with nasal-cystic catheter and double pigtail stents combination drainage.The treatment success rates were 3/4,7/9,and 4/4 respectively.Only 1 patient subsequently developed bleeding from puncture site after stent successively placed,and was turned to surgery because of ineffective endoscopic treatment.Infection occurred in 4 patients during drainage,two of those were switched to surgical resection due to poor medical treatment response,and the other 2 were cured with intravenous infusion of antibiotics sensitive to cyst fluid bacteria and metronidazole rinse PPC.The median follow-up duration was 28.5months,and there was none of recurrence.Conclusions EUS-guided transmural drainage of PPC is safe.Stent placement and nasal-cystic catheter play an important role in PPC treatment.

Objective In previous study,we carried out refined mapping of loss of heterzygosity (LOH) on 1q31.1-32.1 and found that a minimal region of frequent deletion was located at DIS413-D1S2622,which indicated that the region could harbor a tumor suppressor gene associated with colorectal carcinoma.This study was to screen for the potential tumor suppressor gene (TSG) on D1S413-D1S2622 in Chinese origin patients with sporadic colorectal cancer.Methods 25 genes located in the D1S413-D1S2622 region were chosen and a microarray-based high throughput screening conducted in 19 sporadic colorectal cancers to identify candidate tumor suppressor genes.The relationship between expression levels of candidate genes and the clinicopathological data was analyzed.Real-time PCR was performed to validate the microarray results.Results According to the microarray-based high throughput screening,we found 4 significantly down-expressed genes,including CSRP1,LMOD1,PPP1R12B and CFHL3.There was no significant association between of CFHL3,CSRP1,LMOD1,PPP1R12B expression and the clinicopathological data.CSRP1 could be a colorectal cancer related tumor suppressor gene.CSRP1 was down-regulated in colorectal cancer.Conclusions CSRP1 might be involved in the progression of colorectal cancer.

Objective To investigate the relationship between a functional single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNP) in the core promoter region of GDF5 gene(+104T>c ;rs143383) and spinal fusion in Qingdao Han people. Methods This study included 201 patients who needed to be treated with spinal fusion and 200 healthy controls. They were all out of tuberculosis, tumor, infection, and long time of related medicine using. Their operation regions were similar, containing L4.5, C4.5, C5.6, and C6.7. The SNP was defined in all people, using PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and gene sequencing. The patients were followed-up 3,6, 12 months after operation. The conditions of bone graft fusion were carried out into different grades according to imaging. According to the common used fusion criterion, to analyze the relationship between this SNP and spinal fusion. Results The results obtained from PCR-RFLP were confirmed by gene sequencing. The patients and the healthy control all showed the SNP in this site. There were no relationship between the spinal fusion patients and the healthy control in the SNP (x2=0.304, P=0.859). But it showed correlation (x2=4.752, P=0.023) with fusing or not in the spine and the speed of fusion (x2=9.864, P=0.007)in Qingdao Han people. In the fusion group, the site rs143383 showed more C allele than the non-fusion group. T allele may affect the transcription of GDF5, thus reduce the expression of GDF5. Patients with the genotype TC+CC showed larger proportion stable fusion and faster speed than the patients with TT. Conclusion SNP in the core promoter region of GDF5 (+104T>C) is associated with spinal fusion in Qingdao Han people. The allele C may be an important factor to promote spinal fusion. Detect the TT genotype early and intervene, the spinal fusion effect may be improved. Or, the genotype may be changed by gene technology,making the efficient fusion.
