Objective To investigate cognitive function and behavior characteristics in the childhood onset schizo?phrenia patients with or without obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Methods One hundred forty-nine schizophrenia chil?dren were recruited and 72 healthy children served as children control group. According to the Schedule for Affective Dis?orders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children-Present and Lifetime Version (K-SADS-PL), the patients were fur?ther divided into two groups, the children with obsessive-compulsive disorder group (70 cases) and the children without obsessive-compulsive disorder group (79 cases). All the children were retrospectively surveyed and the Achenbach’s Child Behavior Check-list (CBCL) was used to assess their social competence and behavioral characteristics at the age from 6-year-old to 10-year-old. The cognitive function was estimated with WISC, STROOP color and word test, trail making test, visal spatial memory test and maze test. Results Compare to the control group, the CBCL factor scores of behavior problems were higher (P<0.01), social ability factor scores were lower (P<0.05) and all factor scores in the cog?nitive function tests were lower (P<0.05) in the two patients groups. Compare to the patients without obsessive-compul?sive symptoms, the CBCL factor scores of the school situation (P<0.01), splitting force (P<0.01), and physical complaints (P<0.01) were significantly higher and the scores were significantly lower in the test of common sense (P<0.01), wood (P<0.01), STROOP (P<0.01) and BVMT-R (P<0.01) in those with obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Correlation analysis showed that social competence total scores were positively correlated with similarity in the patients with obsessive-com?pulsive symptoms (r=0.31, P<0.01);while behavior problems total scores were negatively correlated with wood (r=-0.31, P<0.01) and patchwork (r=-0.32, P<0.01) in the patients without obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Conclusion The schizophrenia children with obsessive-compulsive symptoms have more behavioral problems in pre-symptom period and their cognitive dysfunction are more severe following onset of the disease. Cognitive function is related to behavioral prob?lems and social competence in the schizophrenia children with or without obsessive-compulsive symptoms .

OBJECTIVETo investigate whether myocardial bridging (MB) is an independent risk factor for coronary atherosclerosis proximal to the bridge site in the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) in diabetic patients.
METHODSFrom March 2011 to December 2012, 9862 patients with suspected coronary disease underwent coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) using a dual-source CT scanner. The baseline clinical characteristics (age, gender, smoking history, presence of hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, family history of heart attack and body mass index) and the results of CCTA were reviewed. Two radiologists evaluated the MB and coronary atherosclerosis stenosis (CAS) over 50% in the LAD and made a diagnosis by consensus. Significant independent risk factors for CAS were investigated by logistic regression analysis.
RESULTSOf the 2345 patients identified to have diabetes mellitus, 1373 had MB, among whom 827 had coronary atherosclerosis proximal to the bridge site; 972 of the diabetic patients were free of MB, among whom 254 had coronary atherosclerosis at the equivalent site. None of the patients had CAS in the tunneled segment. After adjusted for clinical data, logistic regression analysis showed that MB in the LAD was significantly correlated with coronary atherosclerosis in the proximal LAD in diabetic patient (OR=3.91) and non-diabetic patients (OR=2.69) (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONIn diabetic patients, atherosclerosis occurred frequently in the segment proximal to MB in the LAD, and MB in the mid-LAD is an independent risk factor for CAS in the proximal LAD.

Objective:
The objective of this study was to present the real-world patients’ portrait, and the results of niraparib treatment in China.
Methods:
This study included 142 patients treated with niraparib from 8 hospitals in China between December 2018 and September 2021. Patients’ characteristics were summarized. The efficacy and safety in first-line maintenance (1L-M), platinum-sensitive recurrence maintenance (PSR-M), and treatment for ovarian cancer were evaluated. Survival outcomes and the factors influencing progression-free survival (PFS) were estimated.
Results:
The 93 patients received Niraparib as 1L-M, 31 as PSR-M and 18 as salvage. BRCA status was wild type or unknown in 87.3% of patients. With a median follow-up time of 8.7 months, the median PFS (mPFS) for 1L-M has not yet been reached, and the mPFS for PSR-M and salvage therapy was 10.5 and 5.7 months, respectively. Responses to last chemotherapy and cancer antigen 125 value before taking niraparib were 2 important factors affecting PFS among 1L and PSR patients. The 12.7% (18/142) of patients experienced grade ≥3 hematologic adverse events and 23.2% experienced dose adjustment. It was noteworthy that when the interval of chemotherapy and niraparib <21 days, the incidence of grade ≥3 adverse events increased significantly (p=0.0355).
Conclusion
Generally, niraparib was effective and well tolerated, which was consistent with the results of prospective trials. However, in real world, it was more inclined to use niraparib in late-line treatment without genetic testing.
