Fundamental limit of the alpha-synuclein immunohistochemistry using the endoscopic biopsy from the gastrointestinal tract as a biomarker for Parkinson disease: a case-control study
Objective: To investigate significance of the Lewy pathology in biopsy and surgical specimen in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract as an in-vivo biomarker for Parkinson disease (PD). Background: Alpha-synuclein…The nature of postural tremor in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To identify dopaminergic mechanisms underlying postural tremor in Parkinson's disease. Background: Parkinson’s tremor classically occurs at rest, but many patients also have a postural…GBA mRNA is diminished in brain and blood of Lewy body diseases
Objective: To find out whether GBA deficiency starts at the transcriptional level and if it also involves alternative splicing. To study GBA expression changes in…Does cerebellar dysfunction contribute to tremor in Parkinson’s disease?
Objective: This study aims to investigate the potential role of cerebellar dysfunction in the pathogenesis of tremor in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Background: Rest tremor in…Impaired stress-induced mitophagy in parkinsonian LRRK2(R1441G) knockin mutant mice
Objective: 1. Morphological changes and accumulation of ubiquitinated mitochondria in the striatum of aged leucine-rich-repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2)R1441G knockin mutant mice (Liu et al., 2014,…Serum soluble transferrin receptor levels correlate with the Hoehn & Yahr stage of Parkinson disease progression
Objective: To test whether levels of soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) in the serum of Parkinson disease (PD) patients are correlated with the progression of the disease…Role of the subthalamic nucleus and globus pallidus internus in response inhibition during masked prime tasks in human
Objective: To study the subthalamic nucleus (STN) and globus pallidus internus (GPi) local filed potential (LFP) activities in the response inhibition during masked prime tasks…Regulation of aberrant striatal oscillations by glutamate receptor blockade in parkinsonian non-human primates
Objective: To study the abnormal striatal oscillations and regulation of striatal oscillatory activities by micro-infusion of glutamate receptor antagonist in the non-human primate model of…Metabolic syndrome: Its link with motor function of Parkinson’s disease (PD)
Objective: To evaluate if metabolic risk factors can affect the motor function of PD patients Background: The etiology of PD remains unclear. It has been…Firing rate and proportion of subthalamic oscillatory neurons increase associated with more advanced Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: To explore whether neuronal firing rate and proportion of oscillatory neuronal activity in the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is associated with severity in patients with…
