Original abstract
The contents of indispensable major elements sodium (Na), phosphorus (P), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), trace elements iron (Fe), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), zinc (Zn), strontium (Sr), vanadium (V), chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), and other elements lead (Pb), silicon (Si), aluminium (Al), titanium (Ti), barium (Ba), lanthanum (La), cadmium (Yb), cerium (Ce), scandium (Sc), silver (Ag), in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were measured in 13 patients suffering from Parkinson disease before and after autotransplantation of adrenal medulla. It was found that while the patients' objective symptoms were relieved and the contents of monoamine transmitters were changed, the contents of P, V, Co, Cr, in CSF increased significantly (P less than 0.05 or 0.01) at the first, 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th week, the contents of Mn in CSF also increased significantly at the first 4th week (P less than 0.05) but decreased significantly at the 8th week the contents of Zn in CSF increased significantly (P less than 0.05) at the 2nd week; Mo increased significantly (P less than 0.05 or 0.01) at the 4th and 8th week B increased significantly (P less than 0.05) at the first week; the contents of Ca, Na, Sr, Ba, Al, Ti, La, Ce, Yb, Sc, Ag in CSF increased significantly (P less than 0.05 or 0.01) at the 8th week, Mg, Fe, Cu Ni, Pb, Si, Cd remained unchanged after operation. The results suggest that the contents of these chemical elements can be affected by this kind of operation, indicating that these elements are involved in the pathogenesis of Parkinsonism.
