Bioinformatics Analysis Raises Candidate Genes in Blood for Early Screening of Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson＇s disease （PD） is a typical degenerative disease, which is characterized by the most obvious symptoms of movement dysfunction, including shaking, rigidity, slowness of movement and difficulty in walking and gait. This disease can not be clearly identified through laboratory tests at present, thus application of high-throughput technique in studying the expression profiles of PD helps to find the genetic markers for its early diagnosis. Studies on expression profiles of neurodegenerative diseases have revealed the novel genes and pathways involved in the progress of illness. In this study, the expression profiles of PD in blood were compared, showing that 181 differentially expressed genes （DEG） exhibit a similar expression trend both in patients and in normal controls.

A case of exercise induced rhabdomyolysis from calf raises

A 27-year-old male presented to the emergency department with acute exercise induced rhabdomyolysis （EIR） following low intensity, high repetition physical activity. It is paramount for the clinician to consider this diagnosis in the differential of the patient presenting with a complaint of musculoskeletal pain. This case highlights the necessity of staying vigilant for a condition that can develop with seemingly minor, repetitive training of a single muscle group, such as in the exercise of calf raises.

Bank of China Raises Funds to Support Key Projects

The rapid development of China’s economic construction following the opening to the outside world calls for more foreign funds. Undertaking the task to raise funds abroad for many years, the Bank of China (BOC) has furnished substantial foreign funds for a large number of key state projects. Since 1993 the BOC has issued bonds in Tokyo on three occasions, totalling Japanese yen 45 billion. It reentered the European capital

Relay,for a better MRE!

After careful consideration,with the consent of Editor-inChief Weiyan Zhang(张维岩)and Editor-in-Chief Ho-kwang Mao(毛河光),I have decided to step down as the Executive Editor-inChief of MRE to focus on my health and research.I will be succeeded by the next Executive Editor-in-Chief,Professor Jinren Sun(孙今人)of the Shanghai Institute of Laser Plasma,China Academy of Engineering Physics,and Professor Hongbo Cai(蔡洪波)of the Institute of Applied Physics and Computational Mathematics in Beijing.With the help of both of these excellent and experienced physicists,I believe that MRE and its community can be raised to a higher level.
