The mainly symptoms of PD involved rest tremor , bradykinesia, hypermyotonia, dysequilibrium, and it' s pathologies were electively lose of dopaminergic neuron of the mesencephalic black substance, the striatal dapamin diminuted significantly.PD were frequently encountered at present. The attack rate of it was (65.6~187.0)/100,000 in Europe and American, in China, it was reported (15.0~119.0)/100,000 and was the second rate of nervous system degenerative disease of old people, more than 2.0 percent above 60 years old were attacked .
