Background

Dysphagia is a common non-motor symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD), which may cause pneumonia, malnutrition, and declined quality of life. However, risk factors of dysphagia in PD are still unclear.

Objective

To explore the risk factors of dysphagiain PD.

Methods

One hundred and seven consecutive PD patients were recruited in Henan Provincial People's Hospital from June 2018 to December 2019, and general demographic data, incidence of dysphagia and sialorrhea, disease stage and illness severity, severity of anxiety and depression, cognitive function, as well as uric acid and homocsteine were retrospectively analyzed. Risk factors of dysphagia in PD were explored using multivariate Logistic regression analysis. ROC curve analysis was used for evaluating the predictive value of independent risk factors for dysphagia in PD.

Results

Of the 107 PD patients, 45 with dysphagia and 62 without were assigned to an observation group and a control group, respectively, with an incidence of dysphagia of 42.1% (45/107). There were significant difference in terms of age, Hoehn-Yahr classification, Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ scores, incidence of sialorrhea, the 14-item Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA-14) score, the 24-item Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-24) score, Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) score and uric acid between these two groups (P≤0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that, UPDRSⅢ score≥35〔OR=7.639, 95%CI (2.750, 21.219) 〕, sialorrhea〔OR=3.336, 95%CI (1.178, 9.447) 〕, HAMA-14 score≥13〔OR=2.847, 95%CI (1.027, 7.894) 〕and uric acid <251 μmol/L〔OR=0.354, 95%CI (0.129, 0.971) 〕were independent risk factors of dysphagia in PD (P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that, AUC of UPDRS Ⅲ score, sialorrhea, HAMA-14 score and uric acid was 0.750, 0.682, 0.638 and 0.670 in predicting dysphagia in PD, with sensitivity of 69.4%, 56.5%, 59.7% and 64.5%, specificity of 80.0%, 80.0%, 71.1% and 66.7%, Youden index of 0.494, 0.365, 0.308 and 0.312, respectively.

Conclusion

UPDRSⅢ score≥35, HAMA-14 score≥13, sialorrhea and uric acid <251 μmol/L are independent risk factors of dysphagia in PD, and the above four risk factors has certain predictive value for dysphagia in PD.

Background

Parkinson's disease (PD) is frequently accompanied with anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, autonomic dysfunction, cognitive impairment, and other non-motor symptoms, among which autonomic dysfunction and cognitive impairment severely impair the quality of life. The relationship between autonomic dysfunction and cognitive impairment in PD is still controversial.

Objective

To analyze the characteristic of autonomic dysfunction and its correlation with cognitive impairment in PD patients.

Methods

A total of 156 patients with idiopathic PD admitted to Henan Provincial People's Hospital between September 2018 and November 2020 were enrolled. General data of patients, including age, sex, duration of disease, age of onset and years of education, were collected. According to the prevalence and duration of autonomic dysfunction, they were divided into autonomic dysfunction group (AutD group, n=107) and non-autonomic dysfunction group (NAutD group, n=49) . The part Ⅲ of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS-Ⅲ) was used to assess motor symptoms. The Hoehn-Yahr (H-Y) scale was used to assess the severity of PD. The non-motor symptoms were assessed by the Non-motor Symptoms Scale (NMSS) . The Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression 24-item (HAMD-24) were used to evaluate anxiety and depression symptoms, respectively. The 39-item Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39) was used to evaluate PD-specific health related quality of life. Autonomic function was evaluated by Scales for Outcomes in Parkinson's disease-Autonomic (SCOPA-AUT) . Cognitive function was evaluated by Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) . Spearman correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between autonomic function (assessed using the SCOPA-AUT score) and cognitive function (assessed using the MMSE score and MoCA score) .

Results

Among the 156 patients, 83 were male and 73 were female, with a mean age of (63.9±0.7) years. AutD group had greater mean age (t=-4.391, P<0.001) and longer mean duration of PD (Z=-6.947, P<0.001) than NAutD group. AutD group also had higher mean UPDRS-Ⅲscore (t=-8.967) , higher prevalence of moderate-to-severe PD graded by the H-Y scale (χ2=44.350) , higher mean NMSS score (t=-13.707) , HAMA score (t=-3.665) , HAMD-24 score (t=-4.808) , and PDQ-39 score (t=-11.893) (P<0.001) . Digestive symptoms were the most prevalent symptoms (91.7%) , followed by urinary symptoms (91.0%) , dysregulation of body temperature (59.6%) and cardiovascular symptoms (50.0%) , while pupillary dysregulation (12.2%) and sexual dysfunction (5.1%) were less common. Compared to NAutD group, AutD group had lower mean total score of MMSE (Z=-3.826, P<0.001) , total score of MoCA (Z=-2.921, P=0.003) and the mean score of the naming item (Z=-2.868, P=0.004) , mean domain scores of attention (Z=-2.968, P=0.003) , language (Z=-3.546, P<0.001) , and delayed recall (Z=-2.804, P=0.005) . Spearman correlation analysis showed that, the score of SCOPA-AUT (rs=-0.214, -0.181) , the score of urinary domain (rs=-0.245, -0.191) and the score of thermoregulatory domain (rs=-0.215, -0.225) were negatively correlated with the scores of MMSE and MoCA (P<0.05) .

Conclusion

PD patients with autonomic dysfunction have more severe non-motor symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and cognitive impairment, and lower quality of life. The incidence of autonomic dysfunction in PD is high, involving multiple systems. And the increase in the severity of autonomic dysfunction is associated with increased severity of cognitive impairment.

Congenital absence of the internal carotid artery (ICA) is a rare congenital developmental anomaly, which is often associated with carotid canal atresia and structural abnormalities of the ICA. It may be asymptomatic, or shows noticeable symptoms such as Horner syndrome, loss of visual field, trigeminal neuralgia, pulsing tinnitus, memory dysfunction/dementia, transient ischemic attack, intracranial aneurysm, subarachnoid hemorrhage, pituitary dysfunction, and developmental malformations in multiple organs. We reported a case of congenital absence of the left ICA with Horner syndrome, aneurysm, and secondary Parkinson's syndrome. Along with the retrospective analysis of diagnosis, treatment and disease progression of this case, a review of relevant literature was conducted, to improve the recognition of this rare complication.

Hypomimia is one prominent clinical symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD) , which is mainly characterized by a loss or reduction of voluntary, emotional and other facial expressions, and usually appears bilaterally and symmetrically. Factors associated with hypomimia in PD have been extensively studied recently, including basal ganglia dysfunction, facial emotion recognition deficit, and cognitive impairment, but the specific pathophysiological mechanism is still unclear. Hypomimia strongly correlates with the progression of PD, so scientific quantification and evaluation of hypomimia will be of great significance to the diagnosis and treatment of PD. Besides that, there is still controversy over its treatment plan. We reviewed the latest developments in clinical presentations, pathogenesis and treatment of hypomimia in PD.

WANG Qiuqin, ZHANG Yutong, XU Yuchen, BAI Yamei, CHEN Hua, JIANG Rongrong, YAN Shuxia, WANG Qing, XU Guihua, XIE Ying, QIAO Chun, YANG Juan
Chinese General Practice    2023, 26 (17): 2155-2161.   DOI: 10.12114/j.issn.1007-9572.2022.0904
Abstract868)   HTML14)    PDF(pc) (1760KB)(224)    Save
Background

Parkinson's disease (PD) , as one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases, has become a global medical problem due to the obvious adverse reaction of drug treatment and the reduced efficacy of long-term use. Guasha is one of the widely used non-drug therapies of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) with unique advantages in the treatment of nervous system diseases. At present, there are few studies on the treatment of idiopathic PD with Guasha combined with drug therapy.

Objective

To explore the short-term clinical effect of Guasha combined with drug therapy for idiopathic PD.

Methods

Sixteen patients with idiopathic PD in the early and middle stages selected by the purposive sampling method from March 2021 to September 2021 in outpatients of Nanjing Hospital of Chinese Medicine and Jiangsu Province Hospital were selected as the observation group, and another 16 patients with idiopathic PD were selected as the control group according to the principle of matching gender, age, course of disease and Hoehn-Yahr stage. The observation group was treated with Guasha combined with western medicine orally for 4 weeks as a course of treatment; after 3 courses of treatment, Guasha was stopped and western medicine orally continued for 1 course of treatment as follow-up. The control group was treated with simple western medicine orally for 4 weeks as a course of treatment, and the last one of 4 courses of treatment was recorded as follow-up. After 3 months of treatment and 1 month of follow-up, the Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating ScaleⅢ (MDS-UPDRSⅢ) score, Non-motor Symptom Score (NMSS) and clinical efficacy were observed. The levels of serum interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and nuclear transcription factor κB (NF-κB) were observed after 3 months of treatment.

Results

After 3 months of treatment, the scores of MDS-UPDRS Ⅲ and NMSS, and the levels of serum IL-1β and NF-κB in two groups were lower than those before treatment (P<0.05) . After 1 month of follow-up, the scores of MDS-UPDRS Ⅲ and NMSS in two groups were lower than those before treatment (P<0.001) . The score of MDS-UPDRSⅢ of the control group at 1-month follow-up was lower than that at 3 months (P<0.001) . The score of NMSS of the observation group at 1-month follow-up was higher than that at 3 months (P=0.002) . The scores of MDS-UPDRSⅢ and NMSS in the observation group were lower than those in the control group after 3 months of treatment and 1 month of follow-up, and the differences were all statistically significant (P<0.05) . The levels of serum IL-1β and NF-κB in the observation group were lower than those in the control group after treatment (P<0.05) . After 3 months of treatment and 1 month of follow-up, the clinical efficacy of the observation group was better than that of the control group (Z=-3.651, -3.468, P<0.05) .

Conclusion

It is safe and feasible for Guasha combined with drug therapy in the treatment of idiopathic PD patients at the early and middle stage, which can improve some motor dysfunction and alleviate non-motor symptoms and significantly improve the clinical efficacy. However, its long-term efficacy needs to be further explored by large sample and multi-center studies.

帕金森病(PD)是一种常见的神经系统退行性疾病,主要的病理改变是脑黑质致密部α突触核蛋白的异常聚集,近年来越来越多的研究认为在大脑之外(包括肠神经系统)也有α突触核蛋白异常聚集。微生物-肠-脑轴是将大脑和肠道功能整合的双向信息交流系统,肠道与大脑之间主要依靠神经通路、内分泌途径以及免疫途径进行信息交流。肠神经系统可能作为α突触核蛋白播散的渠道,通过迷走神经播散至中枢神经系统,因此有学者认为PD发病最初可能起源于肠道。本文就近年来针对肠脑轴在PD发病机制中作用的研究现状做一简要综述,将有助于进一步阐明PD的可能发病机制以及解释部分临床表现,并可能为PD的诊断和治疗提供新的方向。

Background

Pain is a common non-motor symptom in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) , which has a serious impact on patients' quality of life. Current scholars have explored the factors influencing the occurrence of pain in patients with PD, but there is some variability in the findings.

Objective

To evaluate the influencing factors of pain in PD patients.

Methods

We searched the CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, SinoMed, Web of Science, PubMed, Medline, Embase and Cochrane Library databases for studies on factors influencing pain in patients with PD from database establishment to April 12, 2022. Two researchers independently conducted literature screening and relevant information extraction. We used the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Scale and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) to evaluate the risk of bias in cross-sectional studies and case-control studies, respectively. We performed a descriptive analysis of all influencing factors of pain, and implemented a meta-analysis of these influencing factors using RevMan 5.3.

Results

Sixteen studies were finally included, with a total sample size of 2 855 cases, and 24 influencing factors of pain identified. There were two protective factors and 22 risk factors in descriptive analysis. The meta-analysis showed that, female〔OR=3.73, 95%CI (1.75, 7.96) , P=0.000 7〕, long duration of PD〔OR=1.35, 95%CI (1.15, 1.60) , P=0.000 3〕, depressed mood 〔OR=1.14, 95%CI (1.07, 1.22) , P<0.000 01〕, high UPDRS Ⅲ score〔OR=1.07, 95%CI (1.03, 1.11) , P=0.000 2〕, advanced Hoehn-Yahr stages〔OR=2.28, 95%CI (1.28, 4.04) , P=0.005〕, and high NMSS score〔OR=1.68, 95%CI (1.46, 1.93) , P<0.000 01〕 were risk factors for pain in PD patients. The GRADE analysis showed that the quality of evidence for the effects of gender and NMSS score on pain was moderate, and that for the effects of duration of PD, depressed mood and UPDRSⅢ score on pain was low, and that for the effect of Hoehn-Yahr stage on pain was very low.

Conclusion

Female, long duration of PD, depressed mood, motor impairment, advanced Hoehn-Yahr stages and other severe non-motor symptoms (sleep disturbance, fatigue) are risk factors for pain in PD patients, which need to be further validated by high-quality, large-sample studies in the future.

ZHU Zhenfeng, HE Yijing, GUAN Qiang, JIN Lingjing
Chinese General Practice    2023, 26 (01): 82-90.   DOI: 10.12114/j.issn.1007-9572.2022.0433
Abstract675)   HTML22)    PDF(pc) (2149KB)(415)    Save
Background

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common chronic neurodegenerative disease that seriously affects the quality of life of patients. Internationally, a whole-course specialist-general practitioner management mode of PD has been established, which can effectively improve the quality of life of patients and reduce PD burden on families and society. China has a health management system with its unique features, and lacks an applicable PD community management scheme.

Objective

To develop a standardized community-based management scheme for PD applicable to general practitioners (GPs) in China.

Methods

The full texts of guidelines, standards and consensuses related to PD diagnosis and management published from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2020 were searched, and alternative items that could be included in the standardized community-based management scheme were screened and extracted, then relevant items were extracted to be used to develop a draft of standardized community-based management scheme for PD according to the experts interview and clinical evidence. After that, the draft was further revised under two rounds of email-based expert consultation using the Delphi technique.

Results

A total of 16 experts were invited to consult by e-mail for this study. The response rate was 100.0% for both two rounds. The authority coefficient and Kendall's W were 0.84 and 0.248 (P<0.05) for the first round of email-based consultation, and were 0.85 and 0.255 (P<0.05) for the second round of email-based consultation. Finally, a standardized community-based management scheme was developed, which consists of four domains (managed subjects and contents, suggestions for upward referrals, suggestions for receiving referrals, and disease management) and 77 items.

Conclusion

The response rate and authority coefficient were high for both rounds of email-based expert consultation. After the consultation, the opinions of the experts tended to be consistent, indicating a high Kendall's W, so the results are reliable. The scheme developed in this study may provide guidance for GPs in clinical follow-up and daily management of PD, so as to improve the level of PD management in the community and reduce the economic pressure of PD patients.

Background Previous studies have showed that the rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder(RBD) and autonomic dysfunction are associated with the severity of the Parkinson's disease(PD),but there is a lack of studies on whether autonomic dysfunction plays a role in the relationship between RBD and PD severity. Objective To examine whether autonomic dysfunction plays an intermediary role in the relationship between RBD and PD severity,and whether the role is influenced by age. Methods A total of 669 PD patients meeting the inclusion criteria were selected from the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative database from January to December 2018. General socio-demographics,RBD prevalence(assessed by the REM Sleep Behaviour Disorder Screening Questionnaire),autonomic dysfunction prevalence(assessed by the Scales for Outcomes in Parkinson's Disease-Autonomic questionnaire),and PD severity 〔assessed by the modified Hoehn and Hahr (H-Y) staging〕 were collected. Using the RBD as the independent variable,severity of PD as the dependent variable,the autonomic dysfunction as the intermediate variable,and age as the subgroup variable(less than 56 years,56-65 years and greater than 65 years),a model for investigating the intermediating effect size of autonomic dysfunction between RBD and PD severity was constructed. Results Those aged above 65 years had a higher mean modified H-Y staging than those aged less than 56 or 56-65 years(P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that the severity of PD was positively correlated with RBD and autonomic dysfunction(r=0.200,0.299,P<0.01),and RBD was positively correlated with autonomic dysfunction(r=0.384,P<0.01). In all participants,autonomic dysfunction partially played an intermediary role between RBD and PD severity,with an effect size of 0.031 with Bootstrap 95%CI(0.022,0.041),accounting for 50.00% (0.031/0.062) of the total effect.For those aged less than 56 years,autonomic dysfunction fully played an intermediary role between RBD and PD severity,with an effect size of 0.034 with Bootstrap 95%CI(0.016,0.056). For those aged between 56-65 years,autonomic dysfunction partially played an intermediary role between RBD and PD severity,with an effect size of 0.028 with Bootstrap 95%CI(0.014,0.046),accounting for 39.43% (0.028/0.071) of the total effect. For those older than 65 years,autonomic dysfunction fully played an intermediary role between RBD and PD severity,with an effect size of 0.027 with Bootstrap 95%CI(0.012,0.046). Conclusion Autonomic dysfunction may produce intermediating effect on the relationship between RBD and PD severity,and the effect size may be impacted by age.

【Abstract】 Background Sufficient attention has not been paid to malnutrition,one of the non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD),for a long time. Malnutrition,sarcopenia and balance disorders increase fracture risk in PD patients. Currently,the research in this field is relatively rare in China. Objective To examine sex-specific correlations of nutritional status,bodycomposition and balance condition with fracture risk in PD patients.Methods A total of 68 PD patients (37 males and 31 females)treated in Luoyang Central Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University from December 2018 to December 2020 were enrolled,and their general data were collected. Then,the 10-year risks for major osteoporotic fractures (MOF) and hip fractures (HF) were predicted using the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool. Motor and balance functions were assessed using the Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale-part Ⅲ (UPDRS Ⅲ ). Nutrition status was assessed using the Mini-Nutritional Assessment (MNA). Balance ability was measured by the Berg Balance Scale (BBS). Balance confidence for performing activities was rated by the Activities-specific Balance Confidence(ABC) Scale. The T-score of femoral neck bone mineral density(BMD) was calculated and body composition was measured. The correlations of fracture risk with various factors were analyzed. And fracture risk and various factors were subjected to partial correlation analysis after controlling for age,gender and T-score of femoral neck BMD. Results Compared to women PD patients,men had lower the 10-year risk for MOF,UPDRS Ⅲ score,and body fat rate (BFR),as well as greater mean triceps skin fold thickness,but higher mean T-score of femoral neck BMD,mean trunk muscle mass,upper limb muscle mass,lower limb muscle mass and BBS score (P<0.05). In men PD patients,the 10-year risks for MOF and HF were negatively correlated with the MNA score,lower limbs muscle mass,BBS score and ABC score (P<0.05),but were positively correlated with the UPDRS Ⅲ score (P<0.05);the T-score of femoral neck BMD was positively correlated with lower limbs muscle mass (P<0.05),while negatively correlated with BFR (P<0.05). In women PD patients,the 10-year risk for MOF was positively correlated with the UPDRS Ⅲ score and age,while negatively correlated with the MNA score,muscle mass of lower limbs,BBS score and ABC score (P<0.05);the 10-year risk for HF was positively correlated with the UPDRS Ⅲ score,while negatively correlated with MNA score,muscle mass of upper limbs and lower limbs,BBS score and ABC score (P<0.05). Besides,the T-score of femoral neck BMD was positively correlated with muscle mass of lower limbs (P<0.05),while negatively correlated with age and waist-to-hip ratio (P<0.05). The results of partial correlation analysis revealed that the 10-year risks for MOF and HF had negative correlations with MNA score,muscle mass of lower limbs,BBS score and ABC score (P<0.05),and a positive association was found between the 10-year
risk for MOF and UPDRS Ⅲ score (P<0.05). Conclusion The body composition and T-score of femoral neck BMD in males are different from those in females. Malnutrition,decreased muscle mass of lower limbs,reduced balance capacity and severity of PD are important predictors of the risk of MOF in PD patients. In view of this,to prevent and treat osteoporosis and fractures in PD patients,it is essential to pay attention to nutritional status and muscle mass of them,especially female patients.
【Key words】 Parkinson disease;Fracture risk;Nutritional status;Body composition;Balance scale
Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) often experience weight loss and malnutrition, which may continue throughout the entire disease process, even prior to the onset of symptoms.However, compared with other non-motor symptoms, there have been few clinical studies on the nutritional status of PD patients. As reported in foreign studies, a remarkably higher risk of malnutrition is found in PD population than healthy individuals, while malnutrition is present in 0-24% of patients and those with malnutrition riskconstitute 3-60%[1] of all cases. Poor nutrition may cause reduction in muscle quantity and induce other diseases, and relevant fractures may result in disability or even death.There exist certain differences in body composition between females and males. At present, the research that investigates the relations betweenskeletal muscle index and osteoporotic fracture in postmenopausal females and elderly males has been reported in China [2-3], whereas there are few publications on the associations of nutritional status and body composition with fracture risk in PD patients.Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) as an available means of screening the risk of osteoporotic fracture is commonly used in clinic, so as to prevent the occurrence of fracture[4].This study aimed to analyze the correlations between fracture risk predicted by FRAX and nutritional status score, body composition and balance scale score, thus providingnovel perspectives and references for the prevention and treatment of osteoporotic fracture in PD patients.
1 Subjects and Methods
1.1 Research subjectsPD patients treated in Luoyang Central Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University from December 2018 to December 2020 were enrolled,and their general data were collected.Inclusion criteria were as follows: patients who met the diagnostic criteria for primary PD[5], those in stage 1-3 according to
Hoehn-Yahr(H-Y)staging, and those who signed the informed consent.Exclusion criteria involved: long-term bedridden patients, those who could not cooperate in questionnairesurvey, those with severe cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases, or those with severe osteoporosis.Finally, 68 patients were enrolled in this study, including 37 males and 31 females aged 62-78 years old, averagely (65.5±9.8) years old. This study was conducted by the medical ethics Committee of Luoyang Central Hospital affiliated to Zhengzhou UniversityApproval will be reviewed (Approval No: LWLL-2021-06-04).
1.2 Data collection (1)the general data, including age, gender, living alone or not, fracture history, and wearing-off, gait freezing and on-off phenomena or not, were gathered. (2)in terms of fracture risk, FRAX (http://www.shef.ac.uk/FRAX/) was utilized to predict the 10-year risks for major osteoporotic fracture (MOF) risk and hip fracture (HF), and the individuals who had HF risk ≥3% or MOF risk ≥20% were identified as patients at high risk of osteoporotic fracture.(3) the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale-motor score (UPDRS-III) with 16 items (0-4 points each, 56 points in total) was adopted, and the higher the score, the worse the motor and balance function[6]. In addition, the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) scale (30 points in total) was used to measure the nutritional status of patients, MNA score ≥24 points indicated good nutritional status, MNA score ranged 17-23.5 points denoted malnutrition risk, and MNA score <17 points represented malnutrition[7].(4)femoral neckbone mineral density (BMD) T-value was tested using a Lexxos dual-energy X-ray bone densitometer purchased from DMS. In addition, body composition indexes including body fat ratio (BFR), body mass index (BMI), triceps skinfold thickness, arm circumference (AC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and limb muscle quantity were measured using Inbody 720 (a body composition analyzer) under fasting state and 2-3 h after eating. (5) the balance scale score was evaluated bythe Berg Balance Scale (BBS) (0-4 points) with respect to the balance ability of patients from sitting to standing, and a lower score meant poorer balance control[8]. In addition, the Activities-specific Balance Confidence (ABC) scale was employed to assess the patients' confidence in their own balance ability during activities, with a total of 0-100
points, and the higher the score, the better the confidence in the balance ability[9].
1.3 Statistical analysisSPSS 23.0 software was adopted for statistical analysis. Normally-distributed measurement data were expressed by mean ± standard deviation (χ±s), and independent-samplest-test was used for comparison between groups. If the data did not conform to normal distribution, they were expressed as median (interquartile range) [M (P25, P75)], and non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test was utilized for comparison between groups. Enumeration data were expressed by ratio (%) and analyzed using χ2test. Pearson correlation analysis and Spearman rank correlation analysis were adopted to analyze correlations. Besides, after controlling age, gender and femoral neck BMD T-value, partial correlation analysis was employed to investigate the correlations between the main factors and fracture risk.p<0.05 represented statistically significant differences.
2 Results
2.1 Comparison of general data between different genders of PD patients
No statistically significant differences were found in age, living alone, fracture history,wearing-off, gait freezing and on-off phenomena, the 10-year risks for HF, MNA score, BMI, AC, WHR and ABC score between different genders of PD patients(p>0.05).The 10-year risks for MOF, UPDRS-III score, BFR and triceps skinfold thickness were lower, while femoral neck BMD T-value, trunk muscle quantity, double upper and lower limb muscle quantity and BBS score were higher in males than those in females (p<0.05) (Table 1).
2.2 Analysis of correlations of fracture risk, femoral neck BMD T-value with other indexes in PD patients of different genders
In male PD patients,there were negative associations of MNA score, double lower limb muscle quantity, BBS score and ABC score with the 10-year risks for MOF and HF (p<0.05), positive relations between UPDRS-III score and the 10-year risks for MOF and HF (p<0.05) as well as between double lower limb muscle quantity and femoral neck BMD T-value (p<0.05), and negative correlations between BFR and femoral neck BMD T-value (p<0.05) (Table 2).In female PD patients, positive relations were found between UPDRS-III score and the 10-year risks for MOF and
HF(p<0.05), between age and the 10-year risks for MOF (p<0.05), and between double lower limb muscle quantity and femoral neck BMD T-value (p<0.05), while there were negative associations of MNA score, double lower limb muscle quantity, BBS score and ABC score with the 10-year risks for MOF (p<0.05), of MNA score, double upper and lower limb muscle quantity, BBS score and ABC score with the 10-year risks for HF (p<0.05), and of age and WHR with femoral neck BMD T-value (p<0.05) (Table 2).
2.3 Analysis of partial correlation of fracture risk with other indexes
After controlling gender, ageand femoral neck BMD T-value, partial correlation analysis revealed that MNA score, double lower limb muscle quantity, BBS score and ABC score were negatively associated with the 10-year risks for MOF and HF (p<0.05), and UPDRS-III score was positively correlated with the 10-year risks for MOF (p<0.05) (Table 3).
3 Discussion
PD patients tend to suffer from malnutrition and weight loss followed by aggravation of motor symptoms or even fractures.In this study, the results displayed the MNA score<24 points [7]in the majority of PD patients, lower than the good standard value, and MNA score was negatively associated with the 10-year risks for MOFand HF, confirming that malnutrition appears in PD patients, and is related to fracture risk. The following reasons are commonly implicated in malnutrition and weight loss in PD patients, i.e.poor appetite and nutrition intake reductionresulted from early hyposmia[10], levodopa-induced gastrointestinal symptoms[11], neuroendocrine abnormalities[12], energy metabolism disorder[13],and excessive energy consumption due to muscle rigidity and dyskinesia[14]. In addition, the excessive control of protein intake aiming to reduce the impact of levodopa drugs is also one of the reasons for malnutrition in some patients.In recent years, more attention has been paid to bodycomposition such as muscle loss and osteoporosis which may cause balance abilitydecline and increase the risk of falls and fragility fractures[15]. As reported in a multi-center study, for every 1 standard deviation increase in limb muscle quantity, the risk of osteoporosis declines by 37%, and BMD is positivelyrelated to muscle
quantity[16].Consistent with the above-mentioned conclusion, this study also revealed that in male and female PD patients,double lower limb muscle quantity was positively correlated with femoral neck BMD T-value[17-18].According to two other prospective studies, it can be seen that the reduction in muscle quantity is an independent risk factor for fractures. This study manifested thatin male and female PD patients, there were negative associations of double lower limb muscle quantity with the 10-year risks for MOF and HF. The findings demonstrated that the reduction in muscle quantity of the lower limbs increases the risk of osteoporotic fracture, which is consistent with foreign reports[19-20].The results of this study displayedthat double upper limb muscle quantity in female PD patients was also negatively associated with the 10-year risks for HF, and the reason is that the reduction in muscle quantity of the upper limbs may weakenupper limb strength and grip strength and influence physical function, indirectly increasing the risk of fracture.
VANDER MARCKet al[21]. reported that weight loss in PD patients is mainly attributed to adipose tissue reduction, while the reduction of muscle is notapparent.However, this study exhibited that the lower limb muscle quantity was lower than reference range in most PD patients, and 1 patient had an extremely low muscle quantity of the lower limbs and presented with obvious fatigue. Theresults of this study denoted male PD patients showed greater trunk muscle quantity, doubleupper and lower limb muscle quantity than female PD patients[22]. However, foreign studies have indicated that the detection rate of skeletal muscle reduction is remarkably higher in male PD patients than that in females and scholars consider that male testosterone has a significant influence on muscle quantity than female estrogen[23-24].Wang et al[25]. reported that increasing the testosterone level in young male patients with a low level of sex hormone contributes to musclequantity elevated by 20-60%. In this study, all male PD patients enrolled were elderly individuals, while the enhancement effect of testosterone on the muscle quantity is weaker in elderly males than that in young males[26]. Moreover, the female PD patients enrolled in this study were postmenopausal elderly women with obviously reduced estrogen levels. Consequently, the results appeared to be different.
In the present study, two scales were used for balance scale scoring, of which BBS is capable of evaluating the fall risk of PD patients, from static state to dynamic state, during posture changes, and ABC is able to assess the confidence of PD patients in their own balance ability during activities.The combination of the two scales can better reflect PD patients' balance conditions. In addition, the correlation analysis manifested that BBS score and ABC score in male and female PD patients were negatively related tothe 10-year risks for MOF and HF, indicating the reduction of balance ability and the increased risk of fracture. Thus, it is necessary to focus on the balance ability training in PD patients. UPDRS-III score in both male and female PD patients was positively correlated with the 10-year risks for MOF and HF, suggesting the relations between PDseverity and fracture risk. Positive correlations between age and the 10-year risks for MOF among females PD patients indicated the associations between age and osteoporotic fracture risk in female PD patients, which was similar to previous research[27]. PD mostly occurs in elderly people, leading to the gradual reduction in vitamin D and blood calcium levels, and postmenopausal women will have reduced estrogenlevels, which may cause bone loss and osteoporosis, increasing the risk of fracture.
To further explore the correlations of balance, nutritional status and body composition with fracture risk, partial correlation analysis following controlling gender, age and femoral neck BMD T-value was conducted, and the results revealed that the 10-year risks for MOF and HF were negatively associated with BBS score, ABC score, MNA score and double lower limb muscle quantity. Positive relations between the 10-year risks for MOF and UPDRS-III score further verified that the low muscle quantity of the lower limbs, poor balance function, poor nutritional status and severe PD are risk factors for osteoporotic fracture, significantlyincreasing the risk of fracture.In addition to nutritional assessment, balance evaluation and bone mineral density measurement, body composition also can be detected to measure limb muscle quantity in PD patients, especially the nutritional status and muscle quantity of elderly female PD patients, so as to recognize the patients at high risk of fracture in advance and provide corresponding nutritional interventions. Then through comprehensive
analysis on the body balance abilities in patients of different genders, personalized treatment protocols are administered to reduce the risk of falls and osteoporotic fractures in PD patients. In this study, manual questionnaire and instrument measurement may cause subjective or objective errors due to small sample sizes. Thus, it is of necessity to expand the sample size and further investigate relevant risk factors for fracture in PD patients.

Background Along with the increase of population aging,the incidence rate of Parkinson's disease(PD) is gradually increasing.PD is mainly characterized by motor dysfunctions caused by static tremor,increased muscle tone,and muscle rigidity.The gradually decreased motor capacity makes it difficult for the patients to take care of themselves.In recent years,in addition to drug therapy,the main treatment for PD,the study in non-drug therapies has also obtained achievements,such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS),acupuncture,hyperbaric oxygen therapy,and rehabilitation function training,but a therapy incorporated with multiple interventions has not been developed.Objective To explore the effects of rTMS combined with hyperbaric oxygen-acupuncture-rehabilitation therapy on motor function,serum CRP and plasma dopamine(DA) in patients with PD.Methods 90 PD patients hospitalized in Zigong First People's Hospital from April 2017 to February 2019 were selected and equally divided into control group,observation group,and hyperbaric oxygen-acupuncture-rehabilitation group according to a table of randomly generated numbers,receiving routine western medicine treatment,western medicine in combination with rTMS and hyperbaric oxygen-acupuncture-rehabilitation therapy(five-element music therapy,acupuncture and rehabilitation training are performed during a 90-minute hyperbaric oxygen therapy),and hyperbaric oxygen-acupuncture-rehabilitation therapy,respectively.The treatment for three groups lasted for 8 weeks.The outcome was evaluated by the assessment results of Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale-Ⅲ(UPDRS-Ⅲ),Barthel index,Berg Balance Scale(BBS),limit of stability(LOS),clinical response,serum C-reactive protein (CRP),and plasma DA.Results After treatment,the observation group showed better improvements in UPDRS-Ⅲ,BBS,LOS,CRP,DA and clinical responses than other two groups (P<0.05).The Barthel index in the observation group was higher than that of the control group(P<0.05),but was similar to that of the hyperbaric oxygen-acupuncture-rehabilitation group(P>0.05).Conclusion rTMS combined with hyperbaric oxygen-acupuncture-rehabilitation therapy remarkably improves motor and balance functions,and reduces the expression of inflammatory factors and the loss of DA.In addition,using the therapy,the patients can receive many efficient interventions at the same time,which is time-saving.

Background Depression,anxiety and other symptoms are common psychiatric symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease,ranking the top 5 among all the symptoms.Depression and anxiety not only cause different degrees of functional damage,but also seriously affect patients’ quality of life.However,traditional medicines have many side effects and are addictive,while psychotherapies have fewer adverse reactions and reduce economic costs.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is widely used,and a large number of studies have confirmed its effectiveness in patients with Parkinson's disease.Objective To systematically evaluate the effect of CBT on the symptoms of depression and anxiety and the quality of life in patients with Parkinson's disease(PD).Methods We searched the databases of PubMed,EMBase,Web of Science,Cochrane Library,Science Direct,CNKI,VIP,Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform and CBM.And randomized controlled trials(RCT)related to using CBT to relieve depression and anxiety in patients with PD included since the inception to May 2018 were collected.RCT were screened,data extraction was performed and qualities of eligible RCT were assessed.Meta-analysis was implemented with RevMan 5.3.Results Nine RCT with 401 patients were included.Meta-analyses of depression symptom score 〔SMD
=-1.15,95%CI(-2.18,-0.13),P=0.03〕,anxiety symptom score 〔SMD=-0.80,95%CI(-1.40,-0.21),P=0.008〕 and general psychological health 〔SMD=-1.27,95%CI(-1.96,-0.59),P=0.000 3〕 after treatment showed the superiority of the experimental group over the control group.However,there was no significant difference in post-treatment quality of life between the groups(P>0.05).Subgroup analyses showed that CBT had a poor effect on depression and anxiety after treatment immediately(P>0.05).However,follow-up results showed that it significantly relieved the symptoms of depression and anxiety (P<0.05).Conclusion CBT helps to relieve the symptoms of depression and anxiety in PD.And long-term use of it can bring significant effect.However,its short-term effect and its effect on improving the quality of life need to be verified by further clinical studies.
