Research topics from publications: Analysis of Six Bone-Derived Factors in Plasma and CSF of Chinese Patients with Parkinson's Disease. Representative work: Abstract Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) has a close relationship with osteoporosis and bone secretory proteins may be involved in disease progress. Objectives: To detect the six bone-derived factors in plasma and CSF of patients with PD and evaluate their correlations with CRP level, motor impairment and HY stage of the disease. Methods: We included 250 PD patients and 250 controls. Levels of OCN, OPN, OPG, SO, BMP2 and DKK-1 in Plasma and CSF were measured by custom protein antibody arrays. Data were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U-test and Spearman’s rank correlation. Results: Plasma levels of OCN and OPN were correlated with CRP level and HY stage and motor impairment of PD. Furthermo
