Objective To explore the sensitivity regulatory mechanism of ziprasidone capsules on prolactin( PRL) and fast insulin( FINS) in male adolescents with episode schizophrenia.Methods According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, 52 adolescent males selected from January 2015 to March 2016 were confirmed the psychiatric treatment of schizophrenia in our hospital, their ages, ziprasidone capsule usage and suffering schizophrenia stage of disease, height, waist circumference, body weight, hip circumference, and in the morning fasting blood glucose, FINS and PRL content were recorded.Mathematical model were used to calculate QUICKIFINS sensitivity index, and in accordance with the classification criteria BMI, 52 male adolescents with schizophrenia were divided into normal group and overweight group.The correlation detection, and anthropometric parameters, PRL and FINS sensitivity parameters were analysed.Results PRL and FINS, QUICKI indicators were not correlated(r=0.153, P >0.05; r=-0.101, P >0.05) statistically significant; ziprasidone capsule dose has a positive correlation with FINS(r =0.376,P <0.05), and QUICKI negative indicators (r=-0.362,P<0.05); waist-hip ratio or fat content ratio has no correlation with FINS, QUICKI indicators, but BMI and FINS has a positive correlation (r=0.389,P<0.05) and QUICKI indicators with negative correlation(r=-0.413,P<0.05);PRL level between normal group and overweight group was not statistically significant, and levels of FINS in overweight group(10.89 ±8.23) mU/L was higher than the normal group(5.79 ±3.18) mU/L, the difference was statistically significant(P <0.05).QUICKI index between the two groups was statistically significant, and the overweight of FINS was sensitivity less than the normal group.Conclusion Ziprasidone capsule has no relationship with PRL and FINS resistance in the treatment of adolescent patients with schizophrenia, while body mass index correlated with FINS resistance, and ziprasidone capsule dose correlated with FINS resistance.

Objective To investigate the regulation effect of hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF) 1α on the gene expression profile and the signal pathways in HuH7 cells.Methods The expression of HNF1α was increased or decreased in HuH7 cells by Lenti-virus carrying HNF1α or shHNF1α.The expression profile of the cells after treated was examined by microarray technology.The difference expressed gene regulated by HNF1α were screened and the pathway was analyzed with DAVID software and related analysis system.The regulation effect of HNF1α on transforming growth factor (TGF)β signal pathway was detected by reporter gene test and the regulation role of HNF1α on related genes of TGFβ signal pathway was determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Western blotting assay.Results The expression of HNF1α in HuH7 cells was significantly up-regulated by Lenti-virus carrying HNF1α gene (Lenti-HNF1α) and which was down regulated by Lenti-virus with shHNF1α gene (LentishHNF1 α).Expression profile analysis revealed that 339 genes were positively up regulated two times by HNF1α and 325 genes were negatively down regulated two times.Signal pathway analysis revealed that HNF1α regulated drug metabolism,biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids and glycolysis/gluconeogenesis metabolism signal pathways.Moreover,it also involved in the regulation of TGFβ、nuclear factor (NF)-κB and p53 tumor-related signal pathways.Furthermore,Luciferase reportor gene experiment indicated that up-regulated HNF1α could inhibit the activation of TGFβ signal pathway.And the results of real-time PCR and Western blotting verified that up-regulated HNF1α could inhibit TGFβ signal pathway related gene c-myc and TGFβ1 and then inhibited the activation of TGFβ signal pathway.Conclusion HNF1α broadly affects the gene expression profile and the tumor genesis and development related signal pathways in HuH7 cells,furthermore,HNF1α can inhibit the activation of TGFβ signal pathway.
