Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disease that mainly affects dopamine neurons in the substantia nigra region of the brain,and its clinical manifestations include shaking and slowness of movement.The means of clinical medicine treatment are limited,but traditional Chinese medicine,with its advantages of low cost and high safety,shows great potential in the prevention and treatment of Parkinson's disease.Our team proposed that the core pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease was"earth deficiency and wood multiplication",that is,spleen(soil)deficiency and liver(wood)dysfunction.Among them,"earth deficiency"was the basis of the disease,and"wood multiplication"was the core of the disease.The treatment advocated"strengthening spleen and soothing liver",the specific methods included strengthening spleen and resolving phlegm,Tonify qi and cultivate the middle and soothing liver and relieve depression,and subdue wind and unblock the meridians,etc.Representative recipes were Lianmei Siwu decoction,Zhengan Xifeng decoction,Huangya decoction and Shenzhu decoction.In the treatment,we should pay attention to the whole concept and syndrome differentiation and treatment,and combine the three factors to improve the clinical effect.At the same time,the advantages and mechanisms of TCM in the prevention and treatment of Parkinson's disease deserve further research and verification.

The advancement of surgical techniques enables effective treatment for many patients with oral and maxillofacial tumors.How-ever,post-surgery problems such as chewing,swallowing and speech difficulty may arise due to the defects in speech organs and inade-quate compensatory function of tissue flap repair.Speech disorders,in particular,isolate patients by making it difficult for them to com-municate with others,not only impact their quality of life but also potentially lead to psychological problems and social interaction disor-ders.Although the decline in life quality and other related issues caused by speech dysfunction due to surgery and radiotherapy or chemo-therapy have been widely recognized,there is currently no standardized and universally applicable assessment method and standardized re-habilitation treatment management guideline or consensus for speech disorders following oral and maxillofacial tumor surgery at home and abroad.Based on previous clinical practice,combined with the characteristics of speech disorders in patients after oral and maxillofacial tumor surgery,the clinical experience of the experts in maxillofacial tumor surgery and rehabilitation and the relevant domestic and foreign literature,relevant experts organized discussions and modifications,reach a consensus on core content such as the assessment of speech disorders and the implementation plan for early rehabilitation treatment management,providing a reference for clinical practice,in order to improve patients'speech-related life quality and enhance the assessment and rehabilitation treatment techniques for speech disorders after oral and maxillofacial tumor surgery.

Objective To analyze the dynamic changes in serum adiponectin (APN) levels after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and its relationship with heart failure (HF) and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Methods A total of 124 AMI patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in our hospital from January 2021 to December 2023 were enrolled as AMI group. Additionally, 30 patients with non-AMI coronary artery disease and 30 healthy individuals were included in non-AMI coronary artery disease group and healthy group, respectively. General information such as age, gender, smoking, alcohol consumption, hypertension, diabetes, and blood lipids were recorded for all subjects. Serum APN levels were measured using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method; plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels were determined by immunofluorescence; and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was assessed using echocardiography. Changes in serum APN levels and its relationship with BNP, LVEF, and MACE were recorded during a one-year follow-up period. Results AMI patients had lower serum APN levels than those in the non-AMI coronary artery disease group and the healthy group, while levels of total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C); Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2), and the proportions of smokers and diabetics were higher(P < 0.05). A one-year follow-up of AMI patients revealed an upward trend in serum APN and BNP levels and a downward trend in LVEF levels at one week, one month, three months, six months, and one year postoperatively (P < 0.05). APN and BNP levels peaked one month after PCI, while LVEF reached its lowest level at the same time point. However, there were no statistically significant changes in these indicators in the subsequent 11 months (P>0.05). The incidence of MACE in AMI patients at one, three, six, and twelve months postoperatively was 2.8%, 3.2%, 4.6%, and 8.8%, respectively. Both preoperative and one-month postoperative serum APN levels had high predictive value for the occurrence of HF and MACE within one year in AMI patients, and the area under the curve for predicting HF and MACE one month postoperatively was larger than that preoperatively (P < 0.05). Conclusion Serum APN levels in AMI patients show an upward trend after PCI, peaking one month postoperatively. At this time point, serum APN levels have the highest predictive value for the occurrence of HF and MACE.

Objective To investigate the changes of hematoma and perihematomal edema in spontaneous hypertensive rats (SHRs),as well as the correlation between blood pressures and perihematomal edemaMethods A total of 24 6-month-old male SHRs were included.They were randomly divided into intracerebral hemorrhage 1-,3-,5-,and 7-day groups (n =6 in each group).Blood pressure was determined by tail-cuff sphygmomanometry.Collagenase Ⅳ was injected into caudate nucleus in order to induce a model of intracerebral hemorrhage.Magnetic resonance T2 weighted imaging was used to observe hematoma and perihematomal edema.Results On day 1 after modeling,the blood pressure was decreased significantly compared to that before modeling,and it was elevated gradually on day 3.Parallel profile test showed that the overall profile was parallel between the change rate of blood pressure and the change rate of perihematomal edema volume (F =2.820,P =0.063).The coincident profile test showed that both the overall profiles did not coincide (F =10.961,P =0.000).The change rate of systolic blood pressure was significantly positively correlated with the change rate of perihematomal edema volume (r =0.527,P =0.024) and the change rate of perihematomal edema volume (r =0.755,P =0.000) showed a significant positive correlation.Conclusions Brain edema appeared and expanded rapidly on the day of intracerebral hemorrhage in SHRs.It reached the peak on day 3,and then dissipated gradually.The blood pressure decreased significantly on day 1 after intracerebral hemorrhage,and it began to increase from day 3 till day 7.The changing trends of the blood pressure and perihematomal edema volume were parallel to each other,and the change rate of systolic blood pressure and the change rate of perihematomal edema volume showed a positive correlation.
