This paper systematically analyzed the ancient monographs of acupuncture and moxibustion and comprehensive medical books from pre-Qin to 1911, and extracted the data according to the etiology and pathogenesis, treatment principles and methods, acupoint selection, needling and moxibustion, and taboos of needling and moxibustion. The pathogenesis of migraine in ancient books and documents is summarized as "the causes are diverse, and phlegm-dampness is the majority". For treatment, the features include "needling has a sequence, and the root and the branch should be treated separately" and "focusing on tonifying deficiency and drain excess". It is also obtained of the rich ideas of acupoints selection, extensive application records of moxibustion, unique application of bloodletting therapy and clear explanation of acupuncture and moxibustion taboos. All mentioned above is expected to enrich the ideas and methods of modern migraine treatment and improve the clinical effects.

Objective:To explore the difference of clinical characteristics between senile Parkinson's disease(PD)with depression and unipolar depression.Methods:From March 2019 to March 2020, 53 patients with Parkinson's disease depression and 57 patients with unipolar depression who were admitted to the neurology department of Beijing Hospital were continuously collected.The gender, age and education level of the patients were recorded.The course of disease and other general data of the patients with Parkinson's disease were also recorded.Depression and anxiety of the patients were evaluated by Beck Depression Inventory(BDI)and Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale(GAD-7). Quality of life of patients with Parkinson's disease was evaluated by 8-item Parkinson's disease questionnaire(PDQ-8). Differences in the assessment results and quality of life scores between the two groups were analyzed.Results:The incidence of depression comorbid with anxiety in elderly PD patients was 52.8%(28/53), lower than that in elderly unipolar depression patients comorbid with anxiety [84.2%(48/57)]( χ2=12.664, P<0.001). The scores of activity inhibition [(1.8±0.8)points]and hyposexuality [(0.4±1.0)points]in elderly PD patients with comorbid depression were higher than that in patients with unipolar depression [(1.1±0.8)points, (0.0±0.0)points]( t=4.399, 2.942, P<0.001, =0.005). Moreover, the incidence of activity inhibition(98.1%)and hyposexuality(15.1%)in PD patients with comorbid depression was higher than that in patients with unipolar depression(78.9%, 0.0%)( χ2=9.680, 9.279, both P=0.002). The scores of self-blame [(1.0±0.8)points]and pain [(1.0±0.8)points]in elderly patients with unipolar depression were higher than those in PD patients with comorbid depression [(0.5±0.7)points, (0.9±0.7)points]( t=-3.902, -2.486, P<0.001, =0.014). Moreover, the incidence of self-blame(66.7%), irritability(78.9%)and image distortion(56.1%)in elderly patients with unipolar depression was higher than that in PD patients(35.8%, 56.6%, 35.8%)( χ2=10.447, 6.320, 4.547, P=0.001, 0.012, 0.033). The scores of PDQ-8 in PD patients with comorbid depression and anxiety [14.8(10.8, 19.0)points]( Z=-3.544, P<0.001)were higher than those in PD patients with depression only [7.0(4.8, 11.0)points]. Conclusions:The focus of depression in elderly PD patients is different from that in elderly unipolar depression patients.Elderly patients with unipolar depression are more likely to be comorbid with anxiety.Depression reduces the quality of life in PD patients, and the comorbidity of anxiety further reduces the overall quality of life in PD patients with depression.

Objective:To investigate the incidence of various non-motor symptoms (NMS) in early stage of Parkinson′s disease (PD) patients and the differences between the body-first and brain-first subtypes.Methods:A total of 121 patients with PD (Hoehn-Yahr stage 1-2) were recruited from PD Clinic, Department of Neurology, Beijing Hospital from January 2012 to January 2015. The general information and clinical features of the patients were collected. The minimal diagnostic criteria of parasomnias described in the International Classification of Sleep Disorders-Revised were used to diagnose rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD).According to the sequence of RBD and motor symptoms, the patients were divided into 2 groups: body-first subtype and brain-first subtype. NMS was evaluated by the Non-Motor Symptom Questionnaire (NMSQuest). The clinical features and the incidence of various NMS were compared between the 2 groups. The Unified Parkinson′s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) was used to evaluate the severity of the disease, and its third part (UPDRS-Ⅲ) was used to evaluate the motor function of the patients. Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD) and Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety (HAMA) were used to evaluate the depression and anxiety status of the patients. The sleep status of patients was assessed by Parkinson′s Disease Sleep Scale (PDSS). The quality of life of the patients was assessed by 39-item Parkinson′s Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39).Results:Of all the patients, 49.59% (60/121) had the body-first subtype and 50.41% (61/121) had the brain-first subtype of PD. There was no significant difference in UPDRS-Ⅲ score between the 2 groups. The average number of NMS in all PD patients was 10.97±4.88. Body-first subtype patients had higher NMS incidence than brain-first subtype in difficulty in swallowing [46.7% (28/60) vs 23.0% (14/61), χ 2=7.507, P=0.006], nausea and vomiting [16.7% (10/60) vs 3.3% (2/61), χ 2=6.069, P=0.014], constipation [85.0% (51/60) vs 55.7% (34/61), χ 2=12.393, P<0.001], fecal incontinence [8.3% (5/60) vs 0 (0/61), χ 2=5.302, P=0.021], difficulty in remembering recent events [58.3% (35/60) vs 32.8% (20/61), χ 2=7.962, P=0.005], loss of interest [43.3% (26/60) vs 24.6% (15/61), χ 2=4.743, P=0.029], inattention [45.0% (27/60) vs 19.7% (12/61), χ 2=8.884, P=0.003], depression [55.0% (33/60) vs 34.4% (21/61), χ 2=5.181, P=0.023], intense vivid dreams [73.3% (44/60) vs 39.3% (24/61), χ 2=14.196, P<0.001] and restless legs [53.3% (32/60) vs 27.9% (17/61), χ 2=8.140, P=0.004]. The differences were significant. Body-first subtype and NMSQuest ( r=-0.489, P<0.001), UPDRS ( r=-0.189, P=0.038), HAMD ( r=-0.231, P=0.011), HAMA ( r=-0.298, P=0.001) and PDQ-39 scores ( r=-0.276, P=0.002) were negatively correlated. Body-first subtype and PDSS score was positively correlated. NMSQuest (Δ R2=0.265, P<0.001) was the main determinant of PDQ-39 score. Conclusions:PD patients are accompanied by various NMS, which is a major factor affecting the quality of life. Compared with brain-first subtype, body-first subtype might have more NMS burden and higher incidence rate in most NMS in early PD patients.

Ferroptosis is a new type of programmed cell death that is closely associated with the pathophysiological process of ischemic stroke. Ferroptosis inhibitors can improve neurological function and provide neuroprotection after cerebral ischemia. Therefore, the role of ferroptosis in ischemic stroke and the regulation of ferroptosis to intervene in the occurrence and development of ischemic stroke have become a research hotspot. This article reviews the molecular mechanism and potential therapeutic targets of ferroptosis during ischemic stroke, hoping to provide new perspectives for the treatment of ischemic stroke.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features and associated chronic pain in corticobasal syndrome (CBS).Methods:Clinical data of 8 patients diagnosed as probable CBS or possible CBS admitted to Beijing Hospital during January 2010 to June 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical information included sex, age, course of disease, chief complaint, neurological examination, blood biochemistry, tumor marker, infection and other laboratory tests; the neuropsychological evaluation included Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scale and Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD); the imaging studies included cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and/or 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography ( 18F-FDG PET). Results:The main clinical manifestations were asymmetrical movement disorders, including rigidity, tremor, myoclonus and abnormalities in posture and gait. Patients showed poor response to levodopa treatment. Among 8 patients, 7 had apraxia, 5 patients had alien hand, and 5 patients had various degrees of cognitive dysfunction. The cranial MRI demonstrated mild cerebral atrophy which was slightly more severe in the contralateral side of the initially affected limb in 7 of the 8 patients. The 18F-FDG PET scan revealed asymmetric decreased metabolism in the frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital lobe, as well as in basal ganglia, which was more severe in the contralateral side of the initially affected limb in 5 of the 8 patients. Six of the 8 patients were associated with pain, including dystonic pain in 3 patients, neuropathic pain in 1 patient, musculoskeletal pain in 1 patient, and unexplained pain in 1 patient. Pain was the onset symptom in 1 patient and pain was relieved by taking levodopa in another patient. Conclusions:CBS is characterized by asymmetric dyskinesia and cognitive impairment, and often associated with apraxia, cortical sensory deficits, and alien limb. The MRI and PET are helpful for CBS diagnosis. Pain may be one of the common non-motor symptoms in CBS.

Objective:To investigate the accurrence and related factors of depression in patients with parkinson's disease (PD).Methods:One hundred PD patients with Parkinson′s disease (PD) were enrolled in Department of Neurology in Beijing Hospital from March to June 2019. The depressive mood, sleep status and health-related quality of life of PD patients were evaluated by Beck Depression Scale (BDI), Parkinson′s Disease Sleep Scale 2 (PDSS-2), and 8 items of Parkinson′s Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-8). Spearman correlation analysis and multivariate regression analysis were used to analyze the related factors of PD depression. Nonparametric test was used to analyze the differences between different sleep disorder domains in PD patients with depression.Results:The total score of BDI in 100 PD patients ranged from 0 to 44, with an average of 9.9±8.6 points; the total score of PDSS-2 ranged from 0 to 43, with an average of 12.0±9.2; the total scores of PDQ-8 ranged from 0 to 24, with an average of 6.4±6.0 points. The detection rate of depression in 100 PD patients was 42.0% (42/100), and the total BDI score of 22 patients with mild depression ranged from 10 to 15 with an average of 13.0±1.9; the total BDI score of 14 patients with moderate depression ranged from 16 to 25, with an average of 19.1±3.0; the total BDI score of 6 patients with major depression ranged from 28 to 44 points, with an average of 33.3±6.4. The depression in PD patients was positively correlated with PDQ-8 score ( t=8.908, P<0.01) and PDSS-2 score ( t=2.286, P=0.02); and 85.7% (36/42) of PD patients with depression had sleep disturbance. The score of sleep disturbance domain of PD patients with depression (9.8±3.9) was higher than that of nocturnal motor symptom domain (4.8±4.5) and nocturnal PD non-motor symptom domain (4.1±3.3) ( P<0.01). The scores of emotional health, relationship with loved ones, attention, communication ability dimensions of PDQ-8 were positively correlated with PD depression ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Depression is a common non-motor symptom of PD patients; and PD patients with depression suffer from reduced quality of life and are more prone to sleep disorders.

Journal of Apoplexy and Nervous Diseases 2021;38(9):777-780
Objective To compare the differences in incidence of rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder(RBD)on Parkinson’s disease(PD) and multiple system atrophy parkinsonism type(MSAP),and to investigate the correlation factors of the RBD screening questionnaire (RBDSQ) scores.Methods Thirty-four PD patients and 30 MSAP patients without dementia within 5 years of onset were included. Baseline data were collected in detail,and UPDRS Ⅲ score,HY staging score and RBDSQ score were performed between the two groups to compare the difference in the incidence of RBD between the two groups,as well as the correlation factors of RBDSQ score.Results The incidence of RBD in prodrome MSA (40.0%) was significantly higher than that in prodrome PD (2.9%,χ2=11.330,P=0.001).The incidence of RBD in the clinical stage of MSAP(63.3%)was significantly higher than that in the clinical stage of PD(29.4%,χ2=7.401,P=0.007).The RBDSQ score of MSAP patients was significantly higher than that of PD patients (6.6±3.9 vs.4.7±3.4,Z=-2.084,P=0.037).There was no clear correlation between RBDSQ scores in PD group or MSAP group and disease course,UPDRS Ⅲ score,MMSE score and disease progression rate. Conclusion Compared with PD group,the incidence of RBD in prodrome and clinical MSAP group was significantly higher than that in PD group. In MSAP patients and PD patients with normal cognitive function,there was no clear correlation between RBDSQ score and UPDRS Ⅲ score and MMSE score.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of depression in Parkinson's disease ( PD) patients, analyze the clinical features of depression in PD patients , and evaluate its impact on quality of life. Methods One hundred and ninety-five PD patients and 63 normol controls were recruited in this study.The detailed clinical information was documented.Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale and Hoehn-Yahr stage were used to evaluate the severity of motor function impairment in PD patients.Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) and Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale were employed to assess the severity of depression and anxiety in PD patients.The 39-item Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire was applied to assess the quality of life.The cross-sectional data were calculated with SPSS 21.0 statistic software, and P <0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results The average score of HAMD was 8.74 ±5.51 in 195 PD patients.Depressive symptoms were found in 54.4%of the PD patients ( mild depression 48.7% and moderate depression 5.6%).Depression significantly impaired the quality of life in PD.Compared with PD without depression, PD with depression earned more scores in anxiety factor (4 (2, 5) vs 1(0, 2), Z= -8.69, P=0.00), blocker factor (2 (1, 3) vs 0(0, 1), Z=-7.95, P=0.00), cognitive factor (1 (0, 2) vs 0(0, 0), Z=-7.01, P=0.00), sleep factor (2(1, 3) vs 0(0, 1), Z=-6.42, P=0.00) and despair factor (2 (1, 3) vs 1 (0, 1), Z=-7.16, P=0.00).There was no significant difference in day and night change (0(0, 0) vs 0(0, 0), Z=-0.19, P=0.85) and body weight (0(0, 0) vs 0(0, 0), Z=-1.28, P=0.20) between these two groups.The PD with depression obtained higher scores in total quality of life (30(22, 44) vs 14 (5, 24), Z=-7.03, P=0.00), motor function (6 (2, 13) vs 1 (0, 5), Z=-3.67, P=0.00), daily life ability (4 (1, 8) vs 1 (0, 4), Z=-2.81, P=0.01) , emotional health (5 (2, 11) vs 0 (0, 2), Z=-5.82, P=0.00), humiliation (2 (0, 5) vs 0 (0, 1), Z=-3.10, P=0.00), social support (0 (0, 1) vs 0 (0, 0), Z=-2.86, P=0.00), recognition function (4 (2, 6) vs 2 (0, 4), Z=-2.87, P=0.00), sociability(1(0, 3) vs 0(0, 1), Z=-3.25, P=0.00), and body pain (3 (1, 6) vs 1 (0, 2), Z=-3.91, P=0.00) than patients without depression.Conclusions Incidence of depression ( mainly mild ) in PD patients is high. Depressive symptoms significantly affect the quality of life of PD patients.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics and related factors associated with impulse compulsive behaviors (ICBs) in Parkinson's disease (PD).Methods Two hundred and thirty-one PD outpatients were recruited from Beijing Hospital and Chinese Medicine Hospital of Pinggu District of Beijing from November 2012 to November 2015.Questionnaire for Impulse Compulsive Disorders in Parkinson's Disease (QUIP) was used to assess all subjects if they have ICBs or not.The general materials, medication utilized were recorded , and the related scales were used to evaluate PD patients.Intergroup analysis was made according to with or without ICBs.The Logistic regression analysis was adopted to analyze the relevance between incidence of ICBs and on-set age of PD, drinking tea or not, the 39-item Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire score, dosage of amantadine and dopamine agonist levodopa equivalent daily doses (DA-LEDD).Results Twenty-four cases of 231 outpatients were QUIP screening positive , and only 13 cases ( 5.63%) were diagnosed with ICBs as follows : hypersexuality in four ( 1.73%), compulsive shopping in two (0.87%), pathological gambling in one (0.43%), punding in eight(3.46%), dopamine dysregulation syndrome in two (0.87%) and with two or more ICBs in three (1.30%).Compared with non-ICBs group, ICBs group took more dopamine agonists (137.5(37.5, 175.0) mg/d vs 50.0(0, 125.0) mg/d, Z=-2.175,P=0.030), and had higher percentage of drinking tea (2/13 vs 3/218(1.4%),χ2=11.369,P=0.027).Logistic regression showed that higher dosage of dopamine agonist ( DA-LEDD≥100 mg/d,OR=4.404, 95%CI 1.191-16.284,P=0.026) was a risk factor for ICBs.Conclusions ICBs are not rare in Parkinson's disease, and punding is more common among the clinical phenotypes of ICBs. More dopamine agonists in PD (more than 100 mg/d) may be associated with about 4-fold increased odds of having ICBs.
