Objective To explore the effect of insight education and self-confidence training on the quality of life and well-being rating of first episode schizophrenia. Methods 96 inpatients with first episode schizophrenia were randomly divided into the observed group (48 cases) in which patients were treated with risperidone plus insight education and self-confidence training and the control group (48 cases) in which patients were treated with risperidone only. These patients had been treated for 8 weeks and followed up for 0.5 year after discharged. The assessments included the Positive and Negative Symptoms Scale (PANSS),WHO QOL-100,General Well-Being Schedule (GWB) and the Self-Esteem Scale (SES) before the treatment and at the end of the following-up. Results The scores of PANSS, QOL-100, GWB and SES in both groups didn't show significant difference before the treatment (P>0.05). At the end of following-up, the total score, negative score and positive score of PANSS in the observed group were lower than that in the control group (P<0.01), while the total score of QOL-100, areas of mentality, dependence, social relation factor scores, the scores of GWB and SES in the observed group were higher than that in the control group(P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion The insight education and self-confidence training can help to improve the symptom of first episode schizophrenia and enhance their quality of life and well-being rating.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the potential pharmacological mechanism of the seed of Draba nemorosa, and to provide reference for further development, utilization and clinical application. METHODS: Effective components and related target proteins of D. nemorosa were screened and identified by using TCMSP and STRING database. Cytoscape 3.7.0 software was used to construct a visual network of effective components and target proteins for the seed of D. nemorosa, and the network topology analysis was performed. The targeting protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed and analyzed by STRING database and Cytoscape 3.7.0 software. KEGG pathway enrichment of target proteins was analyzed by DAVID bioinformatics resource database. RESULTS: A total of 9 effective components were screened from the seed of D. nemorosa, including quercetin, kaempferol, β-sitosterol, etc. Totally 174 target proteins were obtained, mainly including PTGS2, NCOA2, PGR, etc. Among them, JUN and MAPK1 were core proteins in PPI network. KEGG enrichment pathway included PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, TNF-α signaling pathway, HIF-1 signaling pathway, Toll-like receptor signaling pathway and thyroid hormone signal pathway, etc. CONCLUSIONS: Effective components from the seed of D. nemorosa such as quercetin, kaempferol and β-sitosterol may act on PTGS2, JUN and MAPK1 target proteins through PI3K-Akt signaling pathway and TNF-α signaling pathway, thus exert the effects of purging lung, relieving asthma, promoting edema and reducing edema.
