5.Research progress on the correlation between weight loss and ghrelin, leptin and hypoxic environment in patients with Parkinson's disease
Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2024;43(2):246-250
Weight loss is a prevalent non-motor symptom of Parkinson's disease(PD), often appearing several years before motor symptoms and continuing throughout the course of the disease.The cause of weight loss in PD may be linked to an imbalance in energy and neuroendocrine function.Ghrelin and leptin are thought to be significant factors in the weight loss experienced by those with PD.Obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome may independently increase the risk of PD and significantly impact the cognitive and motor functions, as well as other non-motor symptoms, of PD patients.Research has shown that a hypoxic environment can enhance the expression and aggregation of the pathogenic protein α-synuclein.This suggests that hypoxic stress and intermittent hypoxia may be contributing factors to the development of PD.This article examines the correlation between weight loss in patients with Parkinson's disease and the hormones ghrelin and leptin, as well as the impact of a hypoxic environment on these hormones.

Objective:To develop a nursing performance management indicator system for a dental specialty hospital based on the balanced scorecard framework.Methods:Utilizing the balanced scorecard as a theoretical framework, the preliminary indicator system was developed through literature analysis and semi-structured interviews. From July to September 2023, two rounds of expert panel inquiries were conducted to select, modify, and refine the indicators, thus establishing the system. The engagement of the experts was indicated by the effective response rate of the questionnaires, the authority of the experts by an expert authority coefficient, and the consensus among expert opinions by Kendall's coefficient of concordance.Results:In the first round, 22 questionnaires were distributed, and 22 were effectively returned, yielding an 100% response rate. In the second round, 22 questionnaires were distributed, and 19 were effectively returned, with an 86% response rate. The authority coefficients for the two rounds were 0.866 and 0.868, respectively, while Kendall's coefficients of concordance were 0.333 and 0.335 ( P<0.01). The final system comprised four primary indicators, 13 secondary indicators, and 38 tertiary indicators. Conclusions:The nursing performance management indicator system for the dental specialty hospital developed in this study is scientifically sound, comprehensive, and reliable. It can be a reference for nursing performance management in dental specialty hospitals.
