Objective To evaluate the distribution of non-motor symptoms(NMS) and dominant factors impacting on the prevalence of NMS in Parkinson's disease(PD). Methods The NMS questionnaire(NMSQuest) was administered to 128 patients(PD group) and 128 healthy adults(control group).The distribution of items of NMS was analyzed between the two groups,and clinical characteristics were also collected to assess the dominant factors impacting on the prevalence of NMS. Results There were significant differences in the prevalence of NMS between the two groups(P

AIM:To establish the murine model of oxygen induced retinopathy ( OIR) and to evaluate the inhibition of retinal neovascularization by erythropoietin ( EPO) blockade.
METHODS: Neonates of C57BL/6 mouse ( P7 ) were exposed to 75%±2% oxygen for 5d and return to normal air environment when 12d ( P12 ) to establish oxygen-induced retinal neovascularization model. The neonates were divided into groups, injected with 0. 5μL solution containing 25ng ( group A), 50ng ( group B), 250ng ( group C) of soluble erythropoietin receptor ( EPO-R) or PBS (group D) at P12, P14 and P16 in the right eye. On P17, the litters were sacrificed and their right eyes were enucleated and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, made pathological section. The number of breakthrough internal limiting membrane neovascular nuclei was counted with pathological retinal morphology, understanding theproliferative degree of retinal neovascularization.
RESULTS: The pathological sections showed the neovascular cell nuclei which penetrating the inner limiting membrane in intravitreal EPO receptor injection group was reduced statistically than that in PBS injection group, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01). And, neovascular nuclei count differences in the
various concentrations of EPO receptor group was statistically significant (P<0. 01). With the EPO receptor concentration increase, neovascular endothelial cells broken through the internal limiting membrane was reduced.
CONCLUSION: Intravitreal injection of soluble EPO receptor can block EPO and improve neovascularization. The new method is expected to become new treatment of ocular neovascular diseases.

In order to investigate the efficiency of a new quantitative head-band formed ocular compressor to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP), ocular compression by this new reducer with 40 mmHg for 10 min was performed on 87 cataractous eyes of 78 cases. The changes of IOP (87 eyes) and anterior chamber depth (ACD) were observed. There was a significant decrease of IOP and increase of ACD within 30 min after decompression (P < 0.001). The mean decrease of IOP was 5.62 +/- 2.41 mmHg and the mean increase of ACD was 0.18 +/- 0.09 mm within 5 min after decompression. The IOP 5 min after decompression had no significant difference with that 10 min after decompression (P > 0.05). IOP below 10 mmHg could last for about 15 min. This apparatus had been successfully applied to 80 eyes for extracapsular cataract extraction. It was suggested that this device had the advantages of safety, accurate quantification, reliable effect, casually adjusting pressure according to various demands and time-saving.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of three dimensional (3D) laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in the treatment of obesity combined with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods The retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted.The clinical data of 28 patients with obesity combined with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were admitted to the Qinghai Red Cross Hospital between January 2013 and April 2016 were collected.All the patients underwent 3D LSG.Observation indicators:(1) surgical and postoperative recovery situations;(2) follow-up and metabolic indexes changes.Follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was performed to detect complications of patients after discharge and usages of antidiabetic drugs or insulin up to February 2017.Body mass,body mass index (BMI),hemoglobin (Hb),albumin (Alb),fasting serum C-peptide,fasting blood sugar,2-hours postprandial blood glucose (2HPBG) and glycosylated hemoglobin (GHb) were detected at month 1,3,6 and 12 postoperatively.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as (x)±s.Repeated measurement data were analyzed by the repeated measures ANOVA.Count data were evaluated by the proportion.Results (1) Surgical and postoperative recovery situations:28 patients underwent successful 3D LSG,without conversion to open surgery.Operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss,time of postoperative gastrointestinal function recovery and time of postoperative drainage tube removal were (133 ± 20) minutes,(45 ± 22) mL,(2.5 ± 1.2) days and (3.4 ± 0.9) days,respectively.There were no postoperative complications and perioperative death.Duration of hospital stay was (7.1 ± 1.5) days.(2) Follow-up and metabolic indexes changes:28 patients were followed up for 6-12 months,with a median time of 8 months.During the follow-up,there was no death or severe complications.Body mass,BMI,Hb,Alb,fasting serum C-peptide,fasting blood sugar,2HPBG and GHb from pre-operation to month 1,3,6 and 12 post-operatively were decreased from (113±26) kg to (78± 14) kg,from (44±6) kg/m2 to (35±5) kg/m2,from (157±19) g/L to (140±13) g/L,from (43±5)g/L to (40±4)g/L,from (2.50±0.37) μg/L to (1.20±0.33) μg/L,from (10.5±2.0)mmol/L to (5.6±0.5)mmol/L,from (16.3±3.1)mmol/L to (7.9±0.9) mmol/L,from 9.2％± 0.9％ to 6.8％ ±0.6％ with statistically significant differences between preoperative and postoperative indicators (F=396.47,328.20,111.10,21.28,161.06,127.80,243.40,234.64,P＜0.05),and showing a downward trend.Of 28 patients,25 had complete remission of type 2 diabetes mellitus at 12 months postoperatively and 3 had partial remission,with an effective rate of 100.0％ (28/28).The excess weight loss was 63％± 16％.Conclusion 3D LSG is safe and effective in the treatment of obesity combined with type 2 diabetes mellitus,with a good shortterm outcome.
