Objective:To analyze the changes and clinical significance of homocysteine (Hcy), folate, and cardiac enzyme levels in patients with alcohol dependence and depression.Methods:A total of 102 patients with alcohol dependence and depression, who received treatment at Wenzhou Seventh People's Hospital from January 2022 to June 2023, were included in the observation group. The degree of alcohol dependence in patients in the observation group was assessed using the Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test (MAST). According to the assessment results, the patients in the observation group were divided into the following subgroups: mild alcohol dependence ( n = 33), moderate alcohol dependence ( n = 37), heavy alcohol dependence ( n = 15), and severe alcohol dependence ( n = 17). The severity of depression among patients in the observation group was assessed with the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD). Based on the assessment results, the patients in the observation group were divided into the following subgroups: mild depression ( n = 43), moderate depression ( n = 34), and severe depression ( n = 25). The cognitive function of patients in the observation group was assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA). According to the assessment results, the patients in the observation group were divided into normal cognitive function ( n = 73) and cognitive impairment ( n = 29) subgroups. Thirty healthy volunteers from our hospital during the same period were included in the control group. The levels of Hcy, folate, and cardiac enzymes were compared among all groups. The correlations between Hcy, folate, and cardiac enzyme levels with HAMD, MoCA, and MAST scores were analyzed using the Pearson method. Results:The Hcy level in the observation group was (15.21 ± 1.99) μg/L, which was significantly higher than that in the control group [(11.38 ± 1.46) μg/L, t = -9.80, P < 0.001]. The levels of folate, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and creatine kinase (CK) in the observation group were (4.82 ± 1.77) μg/L, (122.69 ± 33.98) IU/L, and (87.83 ± 16.52) IU/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(6.27 ± 1.35) μg/L, (150.56 ± 38.78) IU/L, (98.67 ± 20.29) IU/L, t = 4.16, 3.82, 2.99, all P < 0.05]. The Hcy levels in the mild , moderate, heavy, and severe alcohol dependence subgroups [(13.16 ± 1.23) μg/L, (15.35 ± 0.82) μg/L, (16.79 ± 1.38) μg/L, (17.63 ± 1.22) μg/L] increased sequentially, while the folate levels [(6.11 ± 1.51) μg/L, (4.95 ± 1.40) μg/L, (4.04 ± 0.99) μg/L, (2.70 ± 0.99) μg/L], LDH levels [(153.35 ± 27.47) IU/L, (123.29 ± 16.59) IU/L, (109.83 ± 14.41) IU/L, (73.24 ± 16.86) IU/L], and CK levels [(104.14 ± 12.78) IU/L, (86.48 ± 9.15) IU/L, (78.11 ± 7.85) IU/L, (67.71 ± 9.00) IU/L] decreased sequentially. These differences in Hcy, folate, LDH, and CK levels among the mild, moderate, heavy, and severe alcohol dependence subgroups were statistically significant ( F = 73.24, 26.53, 59.08, 53.86, all P < 0.001). The Hcy levels in the mild, moderate, and severe depression subgroups [(13.75 ± 1.54) μg/L, (15.46 ± 1.17) μg/L, (17.39 ± 1.31) μg/L] increased progressively, while the folate levels [(5.83 ± 1.77) μg/L, (4.67 ± 1.12) μg/L, (3.28 ± 1.26) μg/L], LDH levels [(138.09 ± 33.67) IU/L, (119.73 ± 26.39) IU/L, (100.24 ± 30.88) IU/L], and CK levels [(96.35 ± 15.24) IU/L, (86.73 ± 15.62) IU/L, (74.69 ± 9.71) IU/L] decreased progressively. The differenes in Hcy, folate , LDH, and CK levels among the four depression subgroups were statistically significant ( F = 56.57, 24.36, 12.23, 18.44, all P < 0.001). The Hcy levels in the cognitive impairment group [(17.01 ± 1.63) μg/L] was significantly higher than that in the normal cognitive function group [(14.50 ± 1.64) μg/L, t = -6.97, P < 0.001), and the folate, LDH, and CK levels in the cognitive impairment group were (3.76 ± 1.78) μg/L, (102.71 ± 31.08) IU/L, and (76.00 ± 13.37) IU/L respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the normal cognitive function group [(5.24 ± 1.58) μg/L, (130.63 ± 31.92) IU/L, (92.52 ± 15.31) IU/L, t = 4.11, 4.01, 5.09, all P < 0.001]. Hcy levels were positively correlated with HAMD and MAST scores ( r = 0.854, 0.846, both P < 0.05) and negatively correlated with MoCA scores ( r = -0.648, P < 0.001). Folate, LDH, and CK levels were negatively correlated with HAMD and MAST scores ( r = -0.644, -0.701; r = -0.551, -0.696; r = -0.505, -0.673; all P < 0.001), and they were positively correlated with MoCA scores ( r = 0.514, 0.436, 0.448, all P < 0.001). Conclusion:In patients with alcohol dependence and depression, abnormal levels of Hcy, folate, and cardiac enzymes were observed. These indicators were found to be associated with the severity of alcohol dependence, the level of depression, and cognitive function.

Objective:To investigate the effect of clozapine on endocrine hormone levels in patients with schizophrenia, and to analyze the factors causing metabolic abnormality.Methods:The clinical data of 102 patients with schizophrenia who received treatment at the Wenzhou Seventh People's Hospital from January 2021 to January 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were treated with clozapine. They were divided into a normal metabolism group ( n = 76) and a metabolic abnormality group ( n = 26) according to whether or not metabolic abnormality occurred after treatment. The glycolipid metabolism levels, thyroid function, and gonadal hormone levels were recorded and compared between the two groups. Logistic regression analysis was then performed to determine the relevant factors influencing the occurrence of concurrent metabolic abnormality in these patients. Results:After treatment, the levels of triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein, glycosylated hemoglobin, triiodothyronine, and prolactin in patients were all significantly increased compared with those measured before treatment, while estradiol level was significantly decreased compared with that measured before treatment ( t = 2.84, 3.36, 25.35, 3.26, 4.88, -5.76, all P < 0.05). Body mass index, disease duration, and the levels of triglyceride, glycosylated hemoglobin, triiodothyronine, and prolactin in the metabolic abnormality group were significantly higher than those in the normal metabolism group, while the levels of low-density lipoprotein, FT 4, and estradiol in the metabolic abnormality group were significantly lower than those in the normal metabolism group ( t = 4.41, 5.67, 3.20, 4.71, 3.49, 3.97, -4.84, -4.51, -4.25, all P < 0.05). The results of the logistic regression analysis indicated that high body mass index ( OR = 7.410, 95% CI = 1.485-36.988), prolonged disease duration ( OR = 1.385, 95% CI = 1.088-1.764), low low-density lipoprotein level ( OR = 0.003, 95% CI = 0.000-0.453), elevated glycosylated hemoglobin level ( OR = 4.222, 95% CI = 1.067-16.706), decreased FT 4 level ( OR = 0.238, 95% CI = 0.086-0.655), and low estradiol level ( OR = 0.845, 95% CI = 0.726-0.984) were the factors associated with metabolic abnormality (all P < 0.05). Conclusion:The use of clozapine in the treatment of schizophrenia will affect the patient's glycolipid metabolism, thyroid function, and gonadal hormone levels. At the same time, it is found that high body mass index, long disease duration, low low-density lipoprotein level, high glycosylated hemoglobin level, low FT 4 level, and low estradiol level will increase the risk of metabolic abnormality in patients. Therefore, targeted interventions should be carried out according to the actual situation.

A 25-year-old man with extensive burn due to industrial dust explosion was admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University on 16th October, 2018. Four days after the first skin grafting and vacuum sealing drainage surgery, the patient developed signs of uncontrolled severe inflammation and shock. However, several atypical manifestations interfered the diagnosis of septic shock. After giving emergency treatment including fluid resuscitation, broad-spectrum antibiotics, and administration of vasopressor agents, the patient′s condition was alleviated, but quickly relapsed and deteriorated, with acute pulmonary edema appeared in the evening of the same day. Finally, the condition was reversed by completely removing the negative pressure devices on upper limbs and thorough dressing change. This case suggests that the diagnosis and treatment of infection in patients with extensive burn need comprehensive analysis. Timely intervention of the wound is the key to control the exacerbation of sepsis. In addition, the possibility of pulmonary edema in patients with sepsis should be on high alert.

Objective:To explore the isolation and culture methods of mouse parietal epithelial cells (PECs) of Bowman′s capsule, so as to provide a cell tool for further study.Methods:Mouse renal corpuscles were isolated by cell sieving combined with magnetic separation. After primary culture, identified parietal epithelial cells were induced to differentiate into podocytes. Immunofluorescence staining, real-time quantitative PCR and Western blotting were used to detect specific markers of parietal epithelial cells and podocytes.Results:Primary cultured PECs grew like paving stone and expressed Claudin-1 (PECs specific marker), CD133 (stem cell marker) and CD24 (stem cell marker), without the expression of tubular epithelial cell proteins, mesangial cell and podocyte specific proteins. Cultured to 6 generations in vitro, the PECs still expressed Claudin-1, CD133 and CD24. After incubated with differentiation medium, PECs were able to express podocyte markers WT-1 and Synaptopodin. Conclusion:The renal corpuscles are extracted by cell sieving combined with magnetic separation, and the mouse PECs successfully cultured in vitro can be induced to express podocytes′ markers.
