RESUMO
Objective@#Schizophrenia (SCZ) is one of the most common and severe mental disorders. Modified electroconvulsive therapy (MECT) is the most effective therapy for all kinds of SCZ, and the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. This study is aim to detect the molecule mechanism by constructing the transcriptome dataset from SCZ patients treated with MECT and health controls (HCs). @*Methods@#Transcriptome sequencing was performed on blood samples of 8 SCZ (BECT: before MECT; AECT: after MECT) and 8 HCs, weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was used to cluster the different expression genes, enrichment and protein-protein interaction (PPI) enrichment analysis were used to detect the related pathways. @*Results@#Three gene modules (black, blue and turquoise) were significantly associated with MECT, enrichment analysis found that the long-term potentiation pathway was associated with MECT. PPI enrichment p-value of black, blue, turquoise module are 0.00127, <1×10-16 and 1.09×10-13, respectively. At the same time, EP300 is a key node in the PPI for genes in black module, which got from the transcriptome sequencing data. @*Conclusion@#It is suggested that the long-term potentiation pathways were associated with biological mechanism of MECT.

RESUMO
Objective To investigate the clinical value of multiple-slice spiral CT (MSCT) in identifying apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AHCM) with giant negative T wave.Methods Sixteen patients with AHCM and giant negative T wave (AHCM group) underwent MSCT,electrocardiogram,echocardiography,coronary angiography and left ventriculography.Thirty patients without myocardial hypertrophy were enrolled as control group.Measurement results of two groups were compared.Results MSCT confirmed all patients with AHCM,but echocardiography missed 10 patients.In the end of diastole phase,left ventricular apical thickness (LVA) was (21.3 ± 3.6) mm and LVA/left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPW) was 2.2 ± 0.4 in AHCM group,which was (8.5 ± 1.6) mm and 0.9 ± 0.2 in control group.The level of LVA and LVA/LVPW in AHCM group were significantly higher than those in control group (P ＜0.01).Conclusion MSCT is a accurately diagnostic modality for AHCM with giant negative T wave,and the cardiac anatomy,function and coronary artery are also assessed simultaneously.
