Objective To observe the long dwell ultrafiltration volume after using 7.5% icodextrin in different peritoneal transport characteristics of peritoneal dialysis patients. Methods Subgroup analysis of a perspective multicenter randomized double blind and parallel control study was performed. Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients were divided into high transport (H) group, high-average transport (HA) group, low-average transport (LA) group and low transport (L) group according to D/Pcr and Twardoski standard. Ultrafiltration volume of night long dwell dialysate was calculated before and after clinic trial for 2 weeks and 4 weeks to evaluate the different effect of transporters on ultrafiltration volume. Results A total of 201 CAPD patients were enrolled in the study, including 98 patients in icodextrin group (ICO group) and 103 patients in glucose group (GLU group). Male and female cases were 96 and 105 respectively. Age was (56.1±13.7) years old (range from 18 to 81). One hundred and ninety-eight patients finished peritoneal equilibrium test (PET), including 24 (12.1%) of H, 72(36.2%)of HA, 81(40.7%)of LA,and 21 (11.0%)of L. After follow-up for four weeks, the ultrafiltration volume was much higher than baseline in H, HA and LA groups. Also ultrafiltration volume in icodextrin group was much higher than that in glucose-based dialysate. Howerve, the increased volume was not significantly difference in L group. Ultrafiltration volume of icodextrin was positively correlated to D/Pcr (R2=0.1681,P<0.01), while ultratration volume of dextrose was negatively correlated to D/Pcr (R2=0.0949,P<0.01). Conclusion Compare to glucose-based dialysate (Dineal), 7.5% icodextrin dialysate (Extraneal) improves the ultrafiltration and peritoneal creatinine clearance of long dwell notabily in H, HA and LA group.

Objective To investigate the effect of follow-up frequency on the dialysis quality of patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Methods 298 CAPD pa-tients were selected for retrospective analysis from December 2005 to April 2007. All patients were di-vided into two groups according to different follow-up frequency: group A (shorter than 3 months),group B (longer than 3 months). The dialysis quality of the two groups was compared. Results The levels of hemoglobin, albumin and transferrin of group A were (112.19±20.62)mmol/L, (40.45±4.50) retool/L, (2.43±0.29) mmol/L,which were significantly higher than those of group B, (99.63±20.69) mmol/L, (38.01±5.02)mmol/L,(2.29±0.36) mmol/L (P<0.05). In addition, edema level, life self-care,work capacity, median duration of dialysis, education level and address in group A were significantly different from those of group B (P < 0.05). Conclusion Shortening follow-up frequency plays an im-portsnt role in improving the dialysis quality of CAPD patients.

Objective To study the relationships between patients'personality traits,coping styles, perceived social support and the doctor?patient relationship,try to build the relationship model of patients’ psychological factors and the doctor?patient relationship,and to understand the patients psychological factors influence on the doctor?patient relationship,to provide a basis for improving the doctor?patient relationship. Methods The doctor patient relationship evaluation questionnaire, Eysenck personality questionnaire re?vised,short scale for Chinese( EPQ?RSC) ,simplified coping style questionnaire( SCSQ) and perceived social support scale( PSSS) were used to survey 400 outpatients,using SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 17.0 for data analysis. Results There was statistically significant difference in psychoticism between the high and low doctor?pa?tient relationship evaluation score groups( t=-4.537, P<0.01).There was statistically significant difference in positive coping,family support,friend support,other support and perceived social support between the high and low score groups(P<0.05).Psychoticism had a direct positive effect on doctor?patient relationship( r=0.228, P=0.000) ,and perceived social support had a direct negative effect on the doctor?patient relationship ( r=-0.256, P=0.000).Psychoticism,neuroticism,positive coping and negative coping styles could affect the doctor?patient relationship indirectly by perceived social support. Conclusion Patient personality can affect the doctor?patient relationship directly,meanwhile,it can affect the doctor?patient relationship indirectly by perceived social support,and coping styles can only affect the doctor?patient relationship indirectly by per?ceived social support.
9.Effects of Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase Polymorphism on Clinical Features of High-Risk Psychosis Before Schizophrenia
Psychiatry Investigation 2025;22(4):442-450
Objective:
High-risk psychosis before schizophrenia includes individuals at clinical high risk (CHR) and genetic high risk (GHR). Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR) gene variants have been identified as risk factors for schizophrenia onset and symptom severity, though the effects of these polymorphisms in high-risk individuals remain unexplored. This study investigated the impact of MTHFR polymorphisms on clinical features of high-risk psychosis. We hypothesized that MTHFR variants may influence the progression of high-risk psychosis before schizophrenia.
Methods:
A total of 163 individuals were enrolled, comprising 76 healthy controls, 31 GHR, and 56 CHR. MTHFR polymorphisms (C677T, A1298C, and G1793A) were detected. The MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery was administered to assess cognitive ability. Additional recorded clinical features included sex, age, family history, cognitive scores, and the Structured Interview for Psychosis Risk Syndromes (SIPS) scores.
Results:
Higher MTHFR polymorphism levels were observed in high-risk individuals at the C677T site (p=0.006) and in multi-site variant analysis (p=0.012) compared to controls. Stratified by sex, both males and females showed similar increases in MTHFR polymorphism. Cognitive ability scores decreased in the high-risk group with an increase in MTHFR variant allele amounts. In the CHR group, SIPS scores non-significantly increased with the number of variant alleles.
Conclusion
Increased MTHFR polymorphism was associated with the risk progression of schizophrenia, being more pronounced in males than in females. Higher amounts of hypofunctional MTHFR variants tended to decrease the cognitive ability in both high-risk and healthy subjects, while higher risk levels are observed in CHR subjects.
