The paper introduces professor 's clinical experience in treatment of dyskinesia of Parkinson's disease with acupuncture at triple-acupoint prescription. In pathogenesis, dyskinesia of Parkinson's disease refers to deficiency and disturbing wind. In treatment, acupuncture focuses on warming , promoting the circulation of the governor vessel, regulating the spirit and stopping trembling; and Baihui (GV 20), Suliao (GV 25) and Dingchanxue (Extra) are selected to be "trembling relief needling". In combination with 's three needling, named "three-trembling needling" "three-governor-vessel needling" and "three-spasm needling", the triple-acupoint prescription is composed. To ensure the favorable therapeutic effect, this prescription is modified according to the symptoms and the specific techniques of acupuncture are combined such as conducting , harmonizing and , and manipulating gently for reinforcing and reducing.

C19orf12 gene variants causing mitochondrial membrane protein-associated neurodegeneration (MPAN).

Mitochondrial membrane protein-associated neurodegeneration (MPAN) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder characterized by spastic paraplegia, parkinsonism and psychiatric and/or behavioral symptoms caused by variants in gene encoding chromosome-19 open reading frame-12 (C19orf12). We present here seven patients from six unrelated families with detailed clinical, radiological, and genetic investigations. Childhood-onset patients predominantly had a spastic ataxic phenotype with optic atrophy, while adult-onset patients were presented with cognitive, behavioral, and parkinsonian symptoms.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most incapacitating neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs). PD is the second most common NDD worldwide which affects approximately 1 to 2 percent of people over 65 years. It is an attractive pursuit for artificial intelligence (AI) to contribute to and evolve PD treatments through drug repositioning by repurposing existing drugs, shelved drugs, or even candidates that do not meet the criteria for clinical trials.

Purpose Of This Research: To study the association between ICBs and LIDs and to assess the predictors of ICBs in this sample.
Methods: We intentionally evaluated 90 Brazilian PD patients younger than 60 in one evaluation that included the application of Questionnaire for Impulsive Compulsive Disorders - Current Short (QUIP-CS), Barratt Impulsive Scale-11 (BIS-11), Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale parts III and IV, Unified Dyskinesia Rating Scale (UDysRS), and a cognitive assessment.
Results: ICB group had a longer PD duration (8.

Vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) is crucial for packaging monoamine neurotransmitters into synaptic vesicles, with their dysregulation linked to schizophrenia, mood disorders, and Parkinson's disease. Tetrabenazine (TBZ) and valbenazine (VBZ), both FDA-approved VMAT2 inhibitors, are employed to treat chorea and tardive dyskinesia (TD). Our study presents the structures of VMAT2 bound to substrates serotonin (5-HT) and dopamine (DA), as well as the inhibitors TBZ and VBZ.

Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) is a natural neurotoxin with strong toxicity, and studies have demonstrated that chronic MC-LR exposure generated Parkinson-like dyskinesia in mice. Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurologic degenerative disease mostly occurring in elderly people, and the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons and the formation of Lewy bodies are the hallmark pathological features. The main component of Lewy bodies is α-synuclein (α-syn) encoded by the SNCA gene, and the copy number mutation of SNCA gene can promote the overexpression of α-syn.
