Objective:To investigate the characteristics of β and γ oscillations in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID).Methods:Seventeen patients with advanced idiopathic PD received subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) from August 2019 to June 2021 at Department of Neurosurgery, First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were enrolled; 11 patients were without LID before surgery (PD group) and 6 patients were with LID before surgery (LID group). Preoperative electrophysiological data of the STN, including Area under power spectral density (PSD-AUC), burst amplitude and duration of β and γ oscillations, were compared between the two groups.Results:PSD-AUC of β oscillation at 25-35 Hz in the PD group (60.39±1.00) was significantly increased compared with that in the LID group (54.33±0.55), whereas the PSD-AUC of γ oscillation at 65-85 Hz in the LID group (97.31±1.84) was significantly increased compared with that in the PD group (41.52±7.42, P<0.05). The aburst mplitude and duration of β oscillation in the PD group were significantly increased compared with those in the LID group ([8.52±1.00] au] vs. [1.09±0.13] au, [13 344±2 069] ms vs. [1 442±128] ms, P<0.05), while the burst amplitude and duration of γ oscillation in the LID group were significantly higher than those in the PD group ([5.03±0.55] au vs. [0.14±0.01] au, [12 276±5 011] ms vs. [1 741±233] ms, P<0.05). Conclusion:The imbalance of β-γ oscillations in the STN is associated with LID pathophysiology.

Objective:To investigate the correlation among sex hormones, body mass index (BMI) , serum bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP-15) and bone metabolism parameters in adolescent patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) .Methods:A total of 168 PCOS patients admitted from Aug. 2022 to Aug. 2023 were included in PCOS group, and 170 healthy adolescent women during the same period were included in the non-PCOS group. At the same time, the patients in PCOS group were divided into the obese group (n=81, BMI≥28 kg/m 2) and non-obese group (n=87, BMI < 25 kg/m 2) according to the BMI level. The levels of sex hormones, BMP-15 and bone metabolism indexes in all subjects were determined, and the correlation among sex hormones, BMI, BMP-15, bone metabolism indexes of PCOS patients was analyzed by Pearson correlation. Results:The levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) and testosterone (T) in PCOS group were higher ( t = 25.80, 27.99, P < 0.05) , and there was no statistically significant difference in follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels between the two groups ( t = 1.73, P > 0.05) . The levels of LH and T in obese group were higher than those in the non-obese group ( t = 8.24, 23.90, P < 0.05) , and there was no statistically significant difference in FSH between the two groups ( t = 0.29, P > 0.05) . The BMP-15, osteocalcin and amino terminal propeptide (PINP) of type I collagen in PCOS group were lower than those in non-PCOS group ( t = 68.16, 65.89, 11.25, all P < 0.05) , and the cross-linked C-terminal peptide (CTX) of type I collagen was higher than those in non-PCOS group ( t = 13.01, P < 0.05) . BMP-15, osteocalcin and PINP in obese group were lower than those in non-obese group ( t = 14.74, 7.36, 7.90, all P < 0.05) , and CTX was higher ( t = 8.55, P < 0.05) . Pearson correlation analysis showed that LH was negatively correlated with BMP-15, osteocalcin and PINP in adolescent PCOS patients ( r= -0.42, -0.51, -0.42, P < 0.05) , and positively correlated with CTX ( r= 0.44, P < 0.05) . T was negatively correlated with BMP-15, osteocalcin and PINP ( r= -0.50, -0.49, -0.42, P < 0.05) , and positively correlated with CTX ( r= 0.48, P < 0.05) ; BMI was negatively correlated with BMP-15, osteocalcin and PINP ( r= -0.60, -0.66, -0.69, P < 0.05) , and positively correlated with CTX ( r= 0.70, P < 0.05) . Conclusions:In adolescent PCOS patients, LH, T and BMI is negatively correlated with BMP-15, osteocalcin and PINP, while positively correlated with CTX, indicating that PCOS and BMI can affect BMP-15 and bone metabolic markers, which has a certain correlation with ovarian function and abnormal bone metabolism.

With intensified aging, Alzheimer's disease has become a serious problem in China's health field. In the field of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Alzheimer's disease mainly describes cognitive deficits such as dementia and amnesia. After the inheritance and summary by medical experts of successive generations, the theory of "toxin damaging brain collaterals" has become a mature pathogenesis hypothesis of this disease. Blood stasis, as one of the main viral pathogens, is also closely related to the theory of Alzheimer's disease in modern pharmacology. Chuanxiong Rhizoma is used frequently in clinical prescriptions for Alzheimer's disease. As the main component of Chuanxiong Rhizoma, tetramethylpyrazine has a series of pharmacological effects on the cardiovascular system such as vasodilation, anti-platelet aggregation, anti-atherosclerosis, and anti-myocardial ischemia, which reflects the effects of Chuanxiong Rhizoma in activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis. However, few studies have focused on the effect of tetramethylpyrazine on the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. From the perspective of TCM theory and modern pharmacology, this article discussed the effects of tetramethylpyrazine on the pathology and pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease from the aspects of cardiovascular function, oxidative stress, inflammatory response, mitochondrial function, and cholinergic system and made prospects for the future application of tetramethylpyrazine to prevent and treat Alzheimer's disease.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of hydrogen on the expression of hippocampal cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (CIRP) after cardiac arrest-resuscitation in rats.Methods:Ninety clean-grade healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 280-320 g, were randomly divided into 3 groups: sham group (group Sham, n=20), cardiac arrest-cardiopulmonary resuscitation group (group CPR, n=35), and hydrogen-rich saline group (group H 2, n=35). Cardiac arrest was induced by transoesophageal cardiac pacing followed by CPR in group CPR.Only femoral arteriovenous puncture and tracheal intubation were performed in group Sham.Hydrogen-rich saline 5 ml/kg was intraperitoneally injected immediately after recovery of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and at 6 and 12 h after ROSC in group H 2 , while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead in the other two groups.Neuro-functional deficit was assessed using neurologic deficit scores (NDS) at 1 and 3 days after ROSC.The animals were sacrificed immediately after intubation in group Sham and at 6 h and 1, 2 and 3 days after ROSC in CPR and H 2 groups, and the hippocampal tissues were obtained to detect the expression of nuclear and cytoplasmic CIRP by Western blot. Results:Compared with group Sham, NDS was significantly decreased at each time point after ROSC in group CPR and group H 2, the expression of nuclear CIRP was significantly down-regulated at 1, 2 and 3 days after ROSC, and the expression of cytoplasmic CIRP was up-regulated at 1 and 2 days after ROSC in group CPR, and the expression of nuclear CIRP was significantly down-regulated at each time point after ROSC, and the expression of cytoplasmic CIRP was down-regulated at 2 and 3 days after ROSC in group H 2 ( P<0.05). Compared with group CPR, NDS was significantly increased at each time point after ROSC, the expression of nuclear CIRP was down-regulated at 6 h after ROSC, and the expression of cytoplasmic CIRP was down-regulated at 1 and 2 days after ROSC in group H 2 ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The nechanism by which hydrogen reduces brain injury after cardiac arrest-resuscitation may be related to down-regulating hippocampal CIRP expression in rats.
