Objective: We aim to report and evaluate the associations between serum sodium and chloride and dyskinesia in patients with Parkinson's disease. One hundred and two patients with Parkinson's disease were enrolled in this study.
Methods: Patients' serum electrolytes including sodium, calcium, potassium, magnesium, and chloride were measured. Other demographic information was collected, and Unified Parkinson's disease rating scale and Hoehn and Yahr stage scale were also performed.
Results: Patients with dyskinesia tended to have longer duration of disease, higher daily levodopa-equivalent dose, and Hoehn-Yahr stage, with lower serum sodium than those without dyskinesia. Spearman correlation analyses showed that serum sodium inversely correlated with duration of disease ( = -.218, =.028), and positively correlated with serum chloride levels ( = .565, <.001). Univariate logistic regression analysis found that duration of disease, daily levodopa-equivalent dose, serum sodium, and serum chloride were associated with dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease patients (<.05 for all). After adjusting for age, sex, age at onset of Parkinson's disease, medical history, and other covariates, serum sodium and chloride were still associated with dyskinesia, with corresponding Odd ratios 0.783 (95% confidence intervals, 0.642-0.955) and 0.796 (95% confidence intervals, 0.652-0.972), respectively.
Conclusion: Our findings indicated that serum sodium and chloride levels were inversely associated with dyskinesia in patients with Parkinson's disease. Further studies with large samples and range of serum sodium and chloride are needed.

Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) generally has a favorable prognosis, and radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy is typically used for metastatic DTC that continues to progress and poses life-threatening risks. However, resistance to RAI in metastatic DTC significantly impairs treatment effectiveness. This study aims to identify potential compounds that may influence RAI efficacy.

Background: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) reportedly decreased the new-onset atrial arrhythmias in patients with type-2 diabetes (T2DM) or heart failure (HF). This study examined the impact of SGLT2is on catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) in HF patients without T2DM.
Methods: Persistent AF (PeAF) and HF (N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide, NT-proBNP ≥400 pg/ml) patients without T2DM undergoing catheter ablation were prospectively enrolled (n = 102).

In the present study, we uncovered and validated potential biomarkers related to gout, characterized by the accumulation of sodium urate crystals in different joint and non-joint structures. The data set GSE160170 was obtained from the GEO database. We conducted differential gene expression analysis, GO enrichment assessment, and KEGG pathway analysis to understand the underlying processes.

Article Synopsis
- Excessive fluoride exposure can cause oxidative stress and damage metabolic organs, leading to toxicity in the liver and kidneys.
- A study was conducted on Wistar rats divided into four groups, with some receiving sodium fluoride alone and others receiving fluoride with different doses of betanin from beetroot for 90 days.
- Results showed that betanin treatment reduced markers of liver and kidney damage and improved oxidative stress indicators, suggesting it could potentially protect against fluoride-induced organ toxicity.

Objectives: For investigating an influence on butylphthalide sodium chloride injection combined with edaravone dextromethorphan on neurological function, serum free radical levels, and serum inflammatory factor levels in sufferers having acute progressive cerebral infarction (APCI).
Methods: A cohort of 200 patients, afflicted by APCI and admitted to our healthcare institution between December 2018 through July 2023, were incorporated into this longitudinal prospective analysis. Employing a random number table methodology, the patient cohort was bifurcated into a control group ( = 100) and an observation group ( = 100).
