Objective To explore the effect of lipoprotein a[Lp(a)]on the inflammatory state and cardiovascular system of patients with essential hypertension.Methods The clinical data of 234 patients with essential hypertension admitted from January 2022 to November 2023 were retrospectively collected.According to the serum Lp(a)concentration,they were divided into the normal Lp(a)group(n=185)and the high Lp(a)group(n=49).The differences in serum inflammatory markers C reactive protein(CRP),neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR),and fibrinogen between the two groups were compared.Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between Lp(a)and inflammatory markers,and the incidence of cardiac target organ damage between the two groups of patients was compared.Results Compared with the normal Lp(a)group,the CRP concentration,NLR and fibrinogen concentration of hypertensive patients in the high Lp(a)group increased(P<0.05,P<0.01),and the concentration of Lp(a)was positively correlated with CRP,NLR and fibrinogen(r=0.168,0.165,0.321,P<0.05).The incidence of myocardial infarction was higher in the high Lp(a)group[22.45%(11/49)]than in the normal Lp(a)group[7.57%(14/185)](P<0.01).Conclusion In patients with essential hypertension,high Lp(a)concentration is associated with a stronger inflammatory response,and elevated Lp(a)concentration is related to an increased incidence of myocardial infarction,suggesting that Lp(a)may affect target organ damage in patients with essential hypertension by promoting inflammation.

This article showed the work pattern of rehabilitation assessment, and made assessment of a patient who suffered from bilat-eral hemiplegia and pseudobulbar paralysis caused by multiple cerebral apoplexy. Finally, the special characteristics of rehabilitation treat-ment for a patient with bilateral paralysis were summarized.

Objective To investigate the incidence and the related factors of the depression in Parkinson's disease. Methods 52 cases with idiopathic Parkinson's disease were included in this study. Such scales as Hamilton depression scale-24 item (HAMD-24), Non Motor Symptoms Scale for Parkinson's disease (NMSS), 39-item Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39), unified Parkinson's disease rating scale (UPDRS), revised Hoehn-Yahr rating scale (H-Y), revised Schwab and English daily life event scale (S-E), Minimum Mental State Examination (MMSE), etc. were applied and underwent Spearman correlation analysis. Results Thirty-six patients with Parkinson's disease (69.23%) met the criteria for depression. The spearman rank correlation analysis showed that MMSE (r=-0.294, P=0.036) and S-E (r=-0.506, P<0.001) had negative correlation with depression in Parkinson's disease, and the course of the disease (r=0.274, P=0.049), UPDRS (r=0.485, P<0.001), H-Y (r = 0.459, P = 0.001), NMSE (r = 0.729, P < 0.001) and PDQ-39 (r = 0.619, P < 0.001) had positive correlation with depression in Parkinson's disease. Conclusions The patients with Parkinson's disease had high incidence of depression. The depression in Parkinson's disease is associated with many factors and affected the quality of life of the patients.
