ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and related socio-demographic factors of schizo-phrenia patients with different ages of onset.Methods:Totally 2 016 patients with schizophrenia aged 15 to 70 were selected according to the diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,Fifth Edition.All of the patients were interviewed by psychiatrists using the Mini International Neuropsy-chiatric Interview to diagnose schizophrenia,Clinical-Rated Dimensions of Psychosis Symptom Severity(CRDPSS)and the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale(PANSS)to assess symptoms.The cut-off points were 18 and 25 years old for three age groups,i.e.early onset(EOS),youth onset(YOS)and adult onset(AOS).Statistical analy-ses were performed by analysis of variance Pearson correlation analysis,and multivariate linear regression.Results:The early-onset patients had the highest total PANSS score(73.8±28.0)and CRDPSS score(11.7±5.4).Fe-male gender,high education level,Han ethnicity,early onset age,and slower onset of illness were negatively corre-lated with the total and dimension score of PANSS scale and CRDPSS scale(standardized regression coefficient:0.04-0.47),and income level and smoking were negatively correlated with those score(standardized regression coefficient:-0.04--0.14).Conclusion:Early-onset schizophrenia patients have more severe symptoms,and fe-male,high education level,early-onset disease,and chronic onset are the risk factors of symptom severity in patients with schizophrenia.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To describe the prevalence of anxiety symptom and personality disorder among medical aesthetic clients,and explore related factors of anxiety symptoms among them.Methods:Totally 788 clients who consulted in a cosmetic plastic surgery department were recruited in a tertiary hospital in Beijing from November 2021 to July 2023.Using the Personality Diagnostic Questionnaire-4(PDQ-4)and the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)as assessment instruments,with a cutoff point of 42 and 50 points respectively,for screening out personality disorder and anxiety symptom.Statistical analysis was conducted by analysis of variance,chi-square tests,multivari-ate linear regression and logistic regression.Results:The rate of anxiety symptom among the medical aesthetic cli-ents was of 15.23％(120/788),and the prevalence of personality disorder was 3.50％(28/788).Age was nega-tively associated with SAS scores(β=-0.82,P=0.009),PDQ-4 score was positively associated with SAS score(β=0.15,P＜0.001),eye plastic surgery,facial contouring and minimally invasive plastic surgery were positively associated with SAS score(β=2.00-3.64,P＜0.05).Conclusion:The younger and the more prominent the per-sonality dysfunction the clients are,the severer anxiety symptom they have.The clients who consult for eye plastic surgery,facial contouring,and minimally invasive plastic surgery have severer anxiety symptom.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the clinical effect of montelukast sodium and ketotifen in the treatment of children with cough variant asthma,thus to provide theoretical basis for clinical treatment.Methods 61 children with cough variant asthma were randomly divided into control group and observation group according to the digital table method,31 cases in each group.Patients of two groups were all given antispasmodic and antitussive.The control group was given ketotifen tablets drug therapy,1mg/time,2 times/d,and the observation group was treated with montelukast chewable tablets,5mg/time,1 time /d.After 8 weeks of treatment,the clinical effects were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate of the observation group (96.77%)was higher than that of the control group (77.42%),and the difference was statistically significant (χ2 =16.65,P <0.05).The clinical symptoms improved time of the observation group was (5.78 ±1.36)d,which was shorter than (8.45 ±2.24)d of the control group,the difference was statistically significant (t =2.71,P <0.05).The recurrence rate of the observation group (6.45%) was lower than the control group (16.13%),the difference was statistically significant (χ2 =4.67,P <0.05 ). Recurrence time of the observation group was better than that of the control group,the difference was statistically significant (t =7.98,P <0.05 ).Conclusion The curative effect of montelukast special chewing tablets in the treatment of children with bronchial asthma is obviously superior to ketotifen,has less adverse reactions.It was worthy of clinical application.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between the change of serum lipid and pathological change of coronary artery in Kawasaki disease(KD) children.Methods62 children with pathological change of coronary artery in KD were divided into pathological of coronary artery group and normal coronary artery group.62 normal children were selected as control group in the same time.And then the serum lipid status of three groups were compared.ResultsThe TC (5.32 ± 1.74 ) mmol/L,( 5.24 ± 1.67 ) mmol/L,TG ( 1.67 ± 0.79 ) mmol/L,( 1.74 ± 0.65 ) mmol/L,LDL-C(2.87 ± 1.14 ) mmol/L,( 2.72 ± 1.08 ) mmol/L of KD of the two groups were lower than of the control group(3.08 ± 1.28) mmol/L,( 1.12 ±0.56) mmol/L,(2.37 ± 1.06) mmol/L(t =1.70,1.66,1.71,all P ＜0.05 ),and HDL-C( 1.03 ± 0.31 ) mmol/L,( 1.08 ± 0.57 ) mmol/L higher than that of the control group ( 1.65 ± 0.92 )mmol/L( t =1.54,P ＜ 0.05 ) ; There were no differences between two coronary artery groups.After treated,TC,TG,LDL-C of normal coronary artery group were decreased ( t =1.76,1.88,1.72,all P ＜ 0.05 ),and HDL-C was increased ( t =1.90,P ＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionThe child ren with KD had dyslipidemia,and the dyslipidemia was recovered slowly.So,it should be an index of early diagnose for KD with coronary artery lesion.
ABSTRACT
AIM:To investigate effects of thrombopoietin(TPO) and TPOⅡ on human platelet activation in vitro. METHODS:Human platelets were incubated in the phosphate-buffered saline containing rhTPO or TPOⅡ at the concentration of 100 μg/L for five minutes. In order to determine the rate of platelet activation. The CD62P and CD41 expressions on platelets were analysed by flow cytometry using fluorescence labelled monoclonal antibody to CD62P and CD41. RESULTS:The results demonstrated that expression of CD62P on platelets which were incubated with rhTPO or TPOⅡ didn't increase compared with that of contrast group. CONCLUSION:Both rhTPO and TPOⅡdidn't cause the disorder of platelet activation.
