ABSTRACT
Objective: To explore the clinical characteristics and risk factors of male patients with psychotic disorders caused by alcohol. Methods: The clinical data of 52 male inpatients with alcohol use and related disorders treated in the Department of Addiction of Shanghai Mental Health Center, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from May 2018 to December 2019 were collected. There were 19 cases of alcohol-induced psychotic disorder (alcohol-induced psychosis disorder, AIPD) group and 33 cases of non-AIPD group. The risk factors of AIPD were obtained by regression analysis. Results: AIPD patients had a higher incidence of hallucinations (47.4%) and delusions of murder (47.4%). Compared with non-AIPD groups, Logistic regression analysis of AIPD patients showed that vitamine B12 (VB12) serum level (P=0.011, OR=0.995) and total cholesterol serum level (P=0.039, OR=1.874) were associated with the occurrence of AIPD. Conclusion: Patients with AIPD have psychiatric symptoms mainly consisting of hallucinations and delusions of murder. When patients' laboratory tests show abnormal serum VB12 and serum total cholesterol levels, attentions should be paid to the occurrence of AIPD.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: The purpose was to test the hypothesis that the common missense mutation of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase(MTHFR) is more prevalent among preeclamptic women compared with control and also was to determine whether homocysteine and other lipid profile is changed in pregnant women with preeclampsia. METHODS: We measured plasma homocysteine, cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglyceride, apoprotein B, vitamin B12, and folate in 48 pregnant women without preeclampsia and 22 women with preeclampsia. And the MTHFR genotype was determined with a polymerase chain reaction/restriction fragment length polymorphism method. Results were analyzed with a X2 contingency table and T-test. RESULTS: The prevalence of the MTHFR C677T mutation was not significantly different between the population studied. There was no significant difference in the level of plasma homocysteine, cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglyceride, apoprotein B, and folate between controls and preeclamptic women. Furthermore, there was a significant difference in the level of plasma vitamin B12 between the population studied. CONCLUSION: These data suggest that the MTHFR C677T mutation is not a risk factor for preeclampsia in this population. Plasma homocysteine, cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglyceride, apoprotein B, and folate level are not elevated in preeclamptic women. However, the plasma vitamin B12 level is elevated in preeclamptic women. Further studies are necessary to determine why the plasma vitamin B12 level is elevated in preelamptic women although they did not have vitamin drug.
