Purpose To investigate the efficacy of combining the dopamine receptor agonist pramipexole with levodopa for Parkinson’s disease (PD) treatment and to measure their effects on quality of life and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α levels in PD patients. Basic Procedure In total, 160 PD patients who were admitted to our hospital were equally randomized into a control treatment group (levodopa alone) and the study group (pramipexole combined with levodopa). Both groups were treated for 12 weeks. Findings After treatment, scores from the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scales (1–3), the Hamilton Depression Scale, and the Parkinson’s Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39) were significantly decreased in both groups, whereas Mini-Mental State Examination scores were significantly increased. After treatment, the study group had significantly lower scores for all scales except the Mini-Mental State Examination, for which those who received combined treatment had significantly higher scores than the control group. The incidence of adverse reactions was significantly lower in the study group than in the control group. Furthermore, after treatment, serum TNF-α levels were significantly decreased in both groups compared with pre-treatment levels. Conclusion Pramipexole combined with levodopa relieved PD symptoms and improved the quality of life of PD patients, potentially by suppressing serum TNF-α levels.

Abstrak  Populasi lansia saat ini mengalami peningkatan dan diharapkan kualitas hidupnya pun harus tetap baik. Salah satunya dengan memelihara fungsi kognitif melalui senam Gerak Latih Otak (GLO). Tujuan penelitian adalah melihat pengaruh senam GLO terhadap fungsi kognitif lansia. Metode penelitian menggunakan kuasi eksperimen tanpa kontrol dengan intervensi senam GLO 30 menit per sesi, tiga kali seminggu selama satu bulan. Fungsi kognitif dinilai dengan Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE). Jumlah sampel sebanyak 39 lansia. Uji statistik menggunakan paired t test. Hasil uji menunjukkan ada perbedaan rata-rata fungsi kognitif setelah intervensi dengan mean MMSE = 22,95 (SD = 1,413) menjadi  27,95  dengan SD = 1,297 (p value = 0,000). Senam GLO mampu meningkatkan fungsi kognitif lansia sehingga diharapkan menjadi salah satu latihan fisik yang dapat dilakukan di panti. Kata Kunci : fungsi kognitif,  kualitas hidup lansia,  senam GLO   Abstract The population of the elderly is currently increasing and it is expected that the quality of life must also be good. One of them is by maintaining cognitive function through Senam Gerak Latih Otak (GLO exercise). The aim of the study was to see the effect of GLO exercise on cognitive function in the elderly. The research method used quasi-experimental without control with GLO gymnastics intervention 30 minutes per session, three times a week for one month. Cognitive function is assessed by Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE). The number of samples is 39 elderly. Statistical test using paired t test. The test results showed there was a difference in the average cognitive function after the intervention with the mean MMSE = 22.95 (SD = 1.413) to 27.95 with SD = 1.297 (p value = 0,000). GLO exercise can improve cognitive function of the elderly so that it is expected to be one of the physical exercises that can be done in Panti.

Im folgenden Artikel werden fünf verschiedene Versionen der Mini-Mental-State-Examination dargestellt, die alle auf der Grundlage des Originals von Folstein erstellt wurden, sich jedoch deutlich voneinander unterscheiden und zu unterschiedlichen Ergebnissen kommen, unabhängig davon, ob das Screening von erfahrenen Untersuchern durchgeführt wird oder nicht. Besonders auffällig ist, dass Frauen die Aufgaben «Wort rückwärts» hoch signifikant besser lösten als das «Reihenrechnen». An Hand von Beispielen werden Punkteunterschiede aufgezeigt.

Zusammenfassung. Beim Einsatz der Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) stellt sich das Problem der Dimensionalität des Instruments, dessen Lösung durch die Konfundierung eines Teilkonstruktes (“Wohlbefinden”) mit Besonderheiten der Itemformulierung Schwierigkeiten bereitet, da Antwortartefakte zu erwarten sind. Dimensionsstruktur und Eignung der CES-D zur Erfassung der Depression bei älteren Menschen wurden an einer Stichprobe von 663 über 75-jährigen Teilnehmern der “Leipziger Langzeitstudie in der Altenbevölkerung” untersucht. Da sich die Annahme der Gültigkeit eines partial-credit-Rasch-Modells sowohl für die Gesamtstichprobe als auch für eine Teilpopulation als zu restriktiv erwies, wurde ein 3- bzw. 4-Klassen-latent-class-Modell für geordnete Kategorien berechnet und die 4-Klassen-Lösung als den Daten angemessen interpretiert: Drei Klassen zeigten sich im Sinne des Konstrukts “Depression” geordnet, eine Klasse enthielt jene Respondenten, deren Antwortmuster auf ein Antwortartefakt hinwiesen. In dieser Befragtenklasse wird der Depressionsgrad offensichtlich überschätzt. Zusammenhänge mit Alter und Mini-Mental-State-Examination-Score werden dargestellt. Nach unseren Ergebnissen muß die CES-D in einer Altenbevölkerung mit Vorsicht eingesetzt werden, der Summenscore sollte nicht verwendet werden.

The cognitive subscale of the Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale is the most widely used test in the diagnostic and research work of Alzheimer’s disease. Aims: The aim of this study was to validate and investigate reliability of the Hungarian version of the Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale in patients with Alzheimer’s disease and healthy control subjects. Methods: syxty-six patients with mild and moderate Alzheimer’s disease and 47 non-demented control subjects were recruited for the study. The cognitive status was established by the Hungarian version of the Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale and Mini Mental State Examination. Discriminative validity, the relation between age and education and Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale, and the sensitivity and specificity of the test were determined. Results: Both the Mini Mental State Examination and the Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale had significant potential in differentiating between patients with mild and moderate stages of Alzheimer’s disease and control subjects. A very strong negative correlation was established between the scores of the Mini Mental State Examination and the Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale in the Alzheimer’s disease group. The Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale showed slightly negative relationship between education and cognitive performance, whereas a positive correlation between age and Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale scores was detected only in the control group. According to the analysis of the ROC curve, the values of sensitivity and specificity of the Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale were high. Conclusions: The Hungarian version of the Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale was found to be highly reliable and valid and, therefore, the application of this scale can be recommended for the establishment of the clinical stage and follow-up of patients with Alzheimer’s disease. However, the current Hungarian version of the Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale is not sufficient; the list of words and linguistic elements should be selected according to the Hungarian standard in the future.
