Wilson's disease (WD) causes neurological impairments, but research has traditionally focused on the basal ganglia, neglecting the potential role of the cerebellum. This study aims to investigate the relationships between emotion, cognition, and postural tremor in WD and to elucidate the role of the cerebellum in these interactions. We enrolled 57 patients with neurological WD, including 29 with postural tremor and 28 without tremor, and 16 healthy controls. All participants were assessed using the Cerebellar Cognitive Affective Syndrome scale (CCAS-S), the Implicit Positive and Negative Affect Test (IPANAT), and cranial MRI. Upper extremity postural tremor amplitude was quantitatively measured in the tremor patients. Voxel-based morphometry analysis was performed on cerebellar structural images derived from the MRI data. WD patients with postural tremor sustained multifaceted cognitive impairments. All WD patients with postural tremor exhibited basal ganglia lesions. Atrophy in the right cerebellar lobules I-IV was identified as a key differentiator between WD patients with and without postural tremor. Postural tremor amplitude in WD patients correlated with atrophy of the fastigial nuclei and brainstem lesions. Scores from the CCAS-S and IPANAT assessment were linked to the gray matter volume in several posterior cerebellar regions, primarily lobules VI, Crus II, VIIb, VIIIa, and IX. The cerebellum plays a critical role in regulating postural tremors, cognition, and emotions in WD, indicating that the pathological mechanism of WD is not confined to the basal ganglia but involves a broader network model.

Krabbe disease (KD), also known as globoid cell leukodystrophy, is a rare autosomal recessive condition caused by mutations in the galactocerebrosidase (GALC) gene. KD is more common in infants and young children than in adults. We reported the case of an adult-onset KD presenting with progressive myoclonic epilepsy (PME) and cortical lesions mimicking mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) syndrome. The whole-exome sequencing (WES) identified a pathogenic homozygous missense mutation of the GALC gene. Parents of the patient were heterozygous for the mutation. The clinical, electrophysiological, and radiological data of the patient were retrospectively analyzed. The patient was a 24-year-old woman presenting with generalized seizures, progressive cognitive decline, psychiatric symptoms, gait ataxia, and action-induced myoclonus. The brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a right occipital cortical ribbon sign without any other damage. This single case expands the clinical phenotypes of adult-onset KD.
O'Sullivan-Mcleod syndrome is a very rare variant of MND with a good prognosis. Its clinical feature is distal lower motor neuron syndrome of both upper limbs, and there is no effective treatment at present. We reported a case of O'Sullivan-Mcleod syndrome in this paper.The patient exhibited with middle-aged progressive distal muscle weakness and atrophy of both upper limbs, without sensory, cognitive or behavioral impairment and without pyramidal tract sign. Laboratory examination, imaging and genetic tests showed no obvious abnormalities. EMG revealed neurogenic damage to the small muscles of both hands. Now we retrospectively analyzed the clinical features of a patient with O'Sullivan-McLeod syndrome, and data from 18 cases for comparative analysis, in order to improve its understanding by clinicians.
Objective To observe the changes of serum superoxide dismutase(SOD) activity in patients with hepatolenticular degeneration(HLD), and to analyze the correlation of SOD activity with age, duration of disease, uric acid and 24 h urine copper.Method A retrospective analysis of 500 inpatients with HLD who were hospitalized.Referring to the HLD classification standard formulated by Yang Renmin et al in 2015, the gender, age, duration of disease, clinical classification, liver classification and clinical grade of the enrolled patients were counted.In addition, the serum SOD activity level, uric acid(UA) level and 24-hour urinary copper of the enrolled patients before copper complexation treatment, as well as the 24-hour urinary copper on the second day of the first course of treatment with sodium dimercaptopropanesulfonate.The differences in serum SOD activity levels of HLD patients with different gender, age, duration of disease, clinical classification, liver classification and clinical grade were analyzed and compared, and their correlation with serum SOD activity levels of patients was also analyzed.Results Among the 500 HLD patients, 25 had decreased serum SOD activity levels, and 136 had elevated serum SOD activity levels, with a total abnormal rate of 32.2%.There was no significant difference in serum SOD activity levels between males andfemales(P>0.05).There were significant differences in serum SOD activity levels among HLD patients with different age groups, duration of disease groups, clinical classification, liver classification and clinical grades(P<0.05).Among them, the serum SOD activity level of patients in the age group of 1-10 years was the highest, while that in the age group of 51-60 years was the lowest; the serum SOD activity level was the highest in patients with a course of 6-10 years, and the lowest in patients with a course of 21-30 years; the serum SOD activity levels were highest in patients with presymptomatic type, and lowest in patients with brain-visceral type; the level of serum SOD activity in patients with mild liver damage was the highest, and that in patients with liver nodule type was the lowest, and the serum SOD activity level of patients gradually decreased with the severity of liver damage; the serum SOD activity level of patients with clinical grade 0 was the highest, and that of patients with grade Ⅳ was the lowest, and the serum SOD activity level of patients gradually decreased with the increase of clinical grade.Spearman correlation analysis showed that: the serum SOD activity level of HLD patients was negatively correlated with age, disease course and 24 h urinary copper(P<0.05), and positively correlated with UA(P<0.05).Conclusion There were abnormal changes of SOD activity in HLD patients.The serum SOD activity of HLD patients was negatively correlated with age, duration of disease and 24-hour urinary copper, and positively correlated with UA.In addition, the level of serum SOD activity was affected by the degree of disease damage in HLD patients.With the aggravation of disease damage in HLD patients, the level of serum SOD activity decreased gradually.Observation of serum SOD activity in HLD patients has considerable clinical guidance value for the preliminary judgment of the severity of the disease in patients.

OBJECTIVE:To observe blood uric acid levels and Goldstein grading, as well as their correlation in Wilson's disease (WD) patients with different Chinese medical syndrome types.METHODS:Totally 906 WD patients in line with inclusive criteria were assigned to 6 groups, i.e., the heart spirit confused by phlegm group (HSCP, 26 cases), the phlegm-fire disturbing heart group (PFDH, 90 cases), the retention of damp-heat group (RDH, 113 cases), deficiency of qi and blood group (DQB, 168 cases), the deficiency of Gan-yin and Shen-yin group (DGYSY, 327 cases), the deficiency of Gan and Shen group (DGS, 182 cases) due to different Chinese medical syndrome types. Recruited were another 160 healthy subjects having similar ages and diet structures, who came for medical examinations, as the healthy control group. Venous blood was collected from the medial cubital vein of each-patient on an empty stomach in early mornings to detect blood uric acid levels. Results Blood uric acid levels were lower in each syndrome type group than in the healthy control group (146.08 +/- 67.24 micromol/L in the HSCP group; 157.08 +/- 69.77 micromol/L in the PFDH group; 162.58 +/- 97.72 micromol/L in the RDH group; 156.20 +/- 62.63 micromol/L in the DQB group; 161.83 +/- 111.23 micromol/L in the DGYSY group; 194.41 +/- 90.01 micromol/L in the DGS group; 242.39 +/- 87.55 micromol/L in the healthy control group, P < 0.01). Blood uric acid levels were higher in the DGYSY group than in the other 5 syndrome groups (P < 0.01). Correlation analyses between Goldstein grading and blood uric acid showed that, along with increased Goldstein grade (that was aggravating disease conditions), WD patients' blood uric acid levels decreased (P < 0.01).CONCLUSIONS:WD patient's blood uric acid levels decreased more. Blood uric acid levels and Goldstein grading were different in various Chinese medical syndrome types. Blood uric acid levels had certain value in assessing the severity of WD.
