So far,...With the socioeconomic development and the acceleration of the ageing process of the population, the incidence rates of mental disorders and psycho-behavioural problems have become higher and higher worldwide. So far, the disease burden caused by mental disorders has ranked second in the world.1 In China, the disease burden caused by mental disorders accounts for 13% of all non-communicable diseases burden.2 Hence, mental health has become a major public health problem and social problem. In order to promote mental health, the Chinese government has promulgated a series of policies and regulations, as well as reform measures. Moreover, the upcoming 'China Brain Project' will also focus on some mental disorders such as autism, depression and dementia to improve mental health research in China.展开更多

With increasing studies researching cognitive function of Chinese patients with first-episode schizophrenia (FES) using MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB), it is not clear about the level and pattern of cognitive impairment among this population. Aim To provide a meta-analysis systematically analysing studies of neurocognitive function using MCCB in Chinese patients with FES. Methods An independent literature search of both Chinese and English databases up to 13 March 2019 was conducted by two reviewers. Standardised mean difference (SMD) was calculated using the random effects model to evaluate the effect size. Results 56 studies (FES=3167, healthy controls (HC)=3017) were included and analysed. No study was rated as 'high quality' according to Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology. Compared with HCs, Chinese patients with FES showed impairment with large effect size in overall cognition (SMD=-1.60,95% Cl -1.82 to -1.38,厂=67%) and all seven cognitive domains, with the SMD ranging from -0.87 to -1.41. In nine MCCB subtests, patients with FES showed significant difference in Symbol Coding (SMD=-1.90), Trail Making Test (TMT)(SMD=-1.36), Continuous Performance Test-Identical Pairs (SMD=-1.33), Hopkins Verbal Learning Test (SMD=-1.24), Brief Visuospatial Memory Test (SMD=-1.18), Mazes (SMD=-1.16), Category Fluency (SMD=-1.01), Spatial Span (SMD=-0.69) and Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (SMD=-0.38). Conclusions Our meta-analysis demonstrates that Chinese patients with FES show neurocognitive deficits across all seven MCCB cognitive domains and all nine subtests, particularly in two neurocognitive domains: speed of processing and attention/vigilance, with the least impairment shown in social cognition. Symbol Coding and TMT may be the most sensitive tests to detect cognitive deficit in Chinese patients with FES.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis(ABPA)is an immune-related pulmonary disease caused by sensitization of airway by Aspergillus fumigatus.The disease manifests as bronchial asthma and recurring pulmonary shadows,which may be associated with bronchiectasis.The diagnosis of ABPA mainly depends on serological,immunological,and imaging findings.Pathological examination is not necessary but may be required in atypical cases to exclude pulmonary tuberculosis,tumor,and other diseases through lung biopsy.CASE SUMMARY An 18-year-old man presented with recurrent wheezing,cough,and peripheral blood eosinophilia.Chest computed tomography showed pulmonary infiltration.There was a significant increase in eosinophils in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.There was no history of residing in a parasite-endemic area or any evidence of parasitic infection.Pathologic examination of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid excluded fungal and mycobacterial infections.The patient was receiving medication for comorbid diseases,but there was no temporal correlation between medication use and clinical manifestations,which excluded drug-induced etiology.Histopathological examination of lung biopsy specimen showed no signs of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis,IgG4-related diseases,or tumors.The diagnosis of ABPA was considered based on the history of asthma and the significant increase in serum Aspergillus fumigatus-specific immunoglobulin(Ig)E.Eosinophil-related diseases were excluded through pathological biopsy,which showed typical pathological manifestations of ABPA.CONCLUSION The possibility of ABPA should be considered in patients with poorly controlled asthma,especially those with eosinophilia,lung infiltration shadows,or bronchiectasis.Screening for serum IgE,Aspergillus fumigatus-specific IgE and IgG,and alveolar lavage can help avoid misdiagnosis.

文摘背景:抗精神病药物合并电抽搐治疗(electroconvulsive therapy,ECT)对难治性精神分裂症患者的疗效和安全性还不确定。目的:对电抽搐治疗在难治性精神分裂症中的应用的相关中英文文献进行系统综述和meta分析。方法:在中英文数据库中检索2015年5月20日前发表的关于抗精神病药物合并ECT治疗难治性精神分裂症疗效和安全性的研究。由两名研究人员根据预先设定的标准独立筛选和评估文献。采用Review Manager5.1软件进行数据分析。结果:共纳入22项随机对照研究,其中在中国大陆开展的研究有18项。本研究对22项研究中的18项研究共1394例样本进行meta分析后发现,相比于单独使用抗精神病药物,抗精神病药物合并ECT治疗达到各研究特定的"临床改善"标准的比例要显著高(RR=1.31,95%CI=1.22-1.41)。根据推荐GTADE分级的评估、制定和评价标准(Grades of Recommendation,Assessment,Development,and Evaluation,GRADE),该疗效评估的证据质量是"中等"。但是,在治疗过程中出现头痛的参与者比例在合并治疗组中显著更高(RR=9.10,95%CI=3.97-20.86,基于8项研究517例样本)。合并治疗组中出现记忆受损的患者的比例也高(RR=6.48,95%CI=3.54-11.87,基于7项研究577例样本)。这些不良反应的证据质量被评定为"非常低"。结论:有关抗精神病药物合并ECT治疗难治性精神分裂症的高质量随机对照临床试验很少。该meta分析发现,抗精神病药物合并ECT可以改善难治性精神分裂症患者的精神症状,但大多数研究提供的方法学信息不全,存在发表偏倚(更偏向于合并治疗组结果相对好的研究),有关不良反应、认知受损和整体功能的证据质量较低,这使我们需要对结果的效度有所质疑。
文摘With the socioeconomic development and the acceleration of the ageing process of the population, the incidence rates of mental disorders and psycho-behavioural problems have become higher and higher worldwide. So far, the disease burden caused by mental disorders has ranked second in the world.1 In China, the disease burden caused by mental disorders accounts for 13% of all non-communicable diseases burden.2 Hence, mental health has become a major public health problem and social problem. In order to promote mental health, the Chinese government has promulgated a series of policies and regulations, as well as reform measures. Moreover, the upcoming 'China Brain Project' will also focus on some mental disorders such as autism, depression and dementia to improve mental health research in China.
文摘Background Compromised neurocognition is a core feature of schizophrenia. With increasing studies researching cognitive function of Chinese patients with first-episode schizophrenia (FES) using MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB), it is not clear about the level and pattern of cognitive impairment among this population. Aim To provide a meta-analysis systematically analysing studies of neurocognitive function using MCCB in Chinese patients with FES. Methods An independent literature search of both Chinese and English databases up to 13 March 2019 was conducted by two reviewers. Standardised mean difference (SMD) was calculated using the random effects model to evaluate the effect size. Results 56 studies (FES=3167, healthy controls (HC)=3017) were included and analysed. No study was rated as 'high quality' according to Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology. Compared with HCs, Chinese patients with FES showed impairment with large effect size in overall cognition (SMD=-1.60,95% Cl -1.82 to -1.38,厂=67%) and all seven cognitive domains, with the SMD ranging from -0.87 to -1.41. In nine MCCB subtests, patients with FES showed significant difference in Symbol Coding (SMD=-1.90), Trail Making Test (TMT)(SMD=-1.36), Continuous Performance Test-Identical Pairs (SMD=-1.33), Hopkins Verbal Learning Test (SMD=-1.24), Brief Visuospatial Memory Test (SMD=-1.18), Mazes (SMD=-1.16), Category Fluency (SMD=-1.01), Spatial Span (SMD=-0.69) and Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (SMD=-0.38). Conclusions Our meta-analysis demonstrates that Chinese patients with FES show neurocognitive deficits across all seven MCCB cognitive domains and all nine subtests, particularly in two neurocognitive domains: speed of processing and attention/vigilance, with the least impairment shown in social cognition. Symbol Coding and TMT may be the most sensitive tests to detect cognitive deficit in Chinese patients with FES.

文摘There is an increasing heavy disease burden of major depressive disorder(MDD)globally.Both high diagnostic heterogeneity and complicated pathological mechanisms of MDD pose significant challenges.There is much evidence to support anhedonia as a core feature of MDD.In the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,Fifth Edition,anhedonia is further emphasised as a key item in the diagnosis of major depression with melancholic features.Anhedonia is a multifaceted symptom that includes deficits in various aspects of reward processing,such as anticipatory anhedonia,consummatory anhedonia,and decision-making anhedonia.Anhedonia is expected to become an important clinicopathological sign for predicting the treatment outcome of MDD and assisting clinical decision making.However,the precise neurobiological mechanisms of anhedonia in MDD are not clearly understood.In this paper,we reviewed(1)the current understanding of the link between anhedonia and MDD;(2)the biological basis of the pathological mechanism of anhedonia in MDD;and(3)challenges in research on the pathological mechanisms of anhedonia in MDD.A more in-depth understanding of anhedonia associated with MDD will improve the diagnosis,prediction,and treatment of patients with MDD in the future.

文摘Objective:This study aimed to introduce and evaluate a new embolization technique for the right gastric artery(RGA) during percutaneous implantation of a port-catheter system for hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy(HAIC).Methods:From January 2013 to January 2017,159 patients with unresectable advanced liver cancer underwent percutaneous implantation of a port-catheter system.In 86 of these patients(56 men;aged 28-88 years;mean:60.6±12.0 years),in whom the RGA was obvious on arteriography,embolization of RGA was attempted using microcoils to protect the gastric mucosa during HAIC.In the first phase(first three years),antegrade embolization of the RGA using a 2.7 Fr microcatheter was performed in 55 patients.In the second phase(next two years),embolization of the RGA was attempted by combining antegrade embolization and retrograde embolization through the left gastric artery(LGA) in 31 patients.The success rates and the incidence of acute gastroduodenal mucosal toxicity(AGMT) in these two groups were compared.Results:The total success rate of the RGA embolization was 70.9%.The success rate was 83.9% in 31 patients who underwent combined antegrade and retrograde embolization,which was significantly higher than that of antegrade embolization alone(63.6%) performed in 55 patients(p=0.047).No complications related to embolization of RGA were documented.The incidence of AGMT was 29.1%(16/55) in patients in the first phase,which was significantly higher than that in the patients in the second phase(9.7%,3/31)(p=0.037).Conclusion: A combination of retrograde embolization via LGA could increase the success rates of RGA embolization and reduce the incidence of AGMT after HAIC.

文摘Microneedle array(MNA)electrodes are an effective solution to achieve high-quality surface biopotential recording without the coordination of conductive gel and are thus very suitable for long-term wearable applications.Existing schemes are limited by flexibility,biosafety,and manufacturing costs,which create large barriers for wider applications.Here,we present a novel flexible MNA electrode that can simultaneously achieve flexibility of the substrate to fit a curved body surface,robustness of microneedles to penetrate the skin without fracture,and a simplified process to allow mass production.The compatibility with wearable wireless systems and the short preparation time of the electrodes significantly improves the comfort and convenience of electrophysiological recording.The normalized electrode–skin contact impedance reaches 0.98 kΩcm^(2)at 1 kHz and 1.50 kΩcm^(2)at 10 Hz,a record low value compared to previous reports and approximately 1/250 of the standard electrodes.The morphology,biosafety,and electrical/mechanical properties are fully characterized,and wearable recordings with a high signal-to-noise ratio and low motion artifacts are realized.The first reported clinical study of microneedle electrodes for surface electrophysiological monitoring was conducted in tens of healthy and sleep-disordered subjects with 44 nights of recording(over 8 h per night),providing substantial evidence that the electrodes can be leveraged to substitute for clinical standard electrodes.

文摘Background There is an urgent need in clinical practice to measure the stress of parenting.The Caregiver Strain Questionnaire(CGSQ)was found to be useful to measure parenting stress,but it has not been validated among the Chinese population.Aims To assess the reliability and construct validity of the Chinese version of CGSQ among Chinese parents.Methods From 2016 to 2017,266 parents(patient group)with a child having DSM-5-defined attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD)(n=107)or autism spectrum disorder(ASD)(n=159)and 268 parents of healthy children(control group)were recruited to the present study in Kunming,Yunnan province.All the parents were asked to fill out the Chinese version of CGSQ.We conducted exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis(CFA)to verify construct validity of CGSQ in both patient and control groups.Cronbach’s α coefficient as an index of internal consistency was assessed for each subscale.Fourteen days later,23 subjects filled out the scale again.Intra-class correlation coefficient was calculated to evaluate the test-retest reliability.Results(1)Cronbach’s alpha of the global scale was 0.901 for the control group and 0.952 for the patient group.The test-retest reliability for the whole scale was 0.890;(2)CFA indicated that the three-factor model had better fitting indices compared with the two-factor model in both groups.Besides,the fitting indices in the patient group were more favourable than those of the control group,withχ2/df=1.564,Goodness-of Fit Index=0.841,Comparative Fit Index=0.954,and root mean square error of approximation=0.065 for the patient group at three-factor model;(3)The caregiver strain of ASD parents was statistically higher than that of ADHD parents,and caregiver strain of ADHD parents was higher than that of control group.Conclusion These findings provide initial evidence to support the construct validity and reliability of CGSQ as a parenting stress measurement tool for Chinese parents,especially for parents of children with ADHD or ASD.

文摘BACKGROUND Acute myocardial infarction(AMI)during pregnancy is rare,especially in twin pregnancy,and it can endanger the lives of the mother and children.Except for conventional cardiovascular risk factors,pregnancy and assisted reproduction can increase the risk of AMI during pregnancy.AMI develops secondary to different etiologies,such as coronary spasm and spontaneous coronary artery dissection.CASE SUMMARY A 33-year-old woman,with twin pregnancy in the 31st week of gestation,presented to the hospital with intermittent chest tightness for 12 wk,aggravation for 1 wk,and chest pain for 4 h.Combined with the electrocardiogram and hypersensitive troponin results,she was diagnosed with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction.Although the patient had no related medical history,she presented several risk factors,such as age greater than 30 years,assisted reproduction,and hyperlipidemia.After diagnosis,the patient received antiplatelet and anticoagulant treatment.Cesarean section and coronary angiography performed 7 d later showed stenosis and thrombus shadow of the right coronary artery.After receiving medication,the patient was in good condition.CONCLUSION This case suggests that,with the widespread use of assisted reproductive technology,more attention should be paid to perinatal healthcare,especially when chest pain occurs,to facilitate early diagnosis and intervention of AMI,and the etiology of AMI in pregnancy needs to be differentiated,especially between coronary spasm and spontaneous coronary artery dissection.

文摘Background The association between inflammation and major depressive disorder(MDD)remains poorly understood,given the heterogeneity of patients with MDD.Aims We investigated inflammatory markers,such as interleukin(IL)-6,high-sensitivity C reactive protein(hsCRP)and tumour necrosis factor-α.(TNF-α)in melancholic,atypical and anxious depression and explored whether baseline inflammatory protein levels could indicate prognosis.Methods The sample consisted of participants(aged 18-55 years)from a previously reported multicentre randomised controlled trial with a parallel-group design registered with ClinicalTrials.gov,including melancholic(n=44),atypical(n=37)and anxious(n=44)patients with depression and healthy controls(HCs)(n=33).Subtypes of MDD were classified according to the 30-item Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology,Self-Rated Version and the.17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale.Blood levels.of TNF-α,IL-6 and hsCRP were assessed using antibody array analysis.Results Patients with MDD,classified according to melancholic,atypical and anxious depression subtypes,and HCs did not differ significantly in baseline TNF-α,IL-6 and hsCRP levels after adjustment.In patients with anxious depression,hsCRP levels increased significantly if they experienced no pain(adjusted(adj.)p=0.010)or mild to moderate pain(adj.p=0.038)compared with those with severe pain.However,the patients with anxious depression and severe pain showed a lower trend in hsCRP levels than patients with atypical depression who experienced severe pain(p=0.022;adj.p=0.155).Baseline TNF-α(adj.p=0.038)and IL-6(adj.p=0.006)levels in patients in remission were significantly lower than those in patients with no remission among the participants with the atypical depression subtype at the eighth-week follow-up.Conclusions This study provides evidence of differences in inflammatory proteins in patients with varied symptoms among melancholic,atypical and anxious depression subtypes.Further studies on the immunoinflammatory mechanism underlying different subtypes of depression are expected for improved individualised therapy.
