Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder worldwide, highlighting the urgent need for improved diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Biomarkers from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), blood, and peripheral tissue hold promise for early PD detection. In addition, neuroimaging techniques, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and positron emission tomography (PET), allow for detailed visualization of neurodegeneration and associated structural and functional brain changes. This review summarizes recent advances in PD biomarkers and neuroimaging, highlighting their diagnostic potential and implications for future research.

Objective To study the treatment of adolescent hyperthyroidism. Methods Retrospective analysis of the clinical data of the adolescent hyperthyroidism treated by surgery was made in our hospital from January 1990 to December 1998. Results In this series, there was no death, with 3 cases transient postoperative hypocalcemia and 1 had throat spasm and physoia. All the 4 cases recovered after treatment. 78 cases(85.7%) were followed up for 0.5～9 years. Of them, all were in good condition except 2 being recurred. Conclusions Operative treatment for adolescent hyperthyroidism is a safe, quick and effictive method, but the operation indications should be good controlled.
