Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy and adverse reactions of paroxetine combined with olanzapine in the treat-ment of depression complicated with sleep disorders. Methods: Totally 150 cases of sleep disorder patients were selected, and then randomly divided into the control group and the observation group with 75 ones in each. The control group was given paroxetine treat-ment, the observation group was given paroxetine combined with olanzapine treatment, and the treatment course was four weeks. The sleep latency, total sleep time, wake-up time and the number of awakening in the two groups were recorded, and the HAMD scale score and treatment efficacy were compared. Results:Compared with those in the control group, the sleep latency, total sleep time, wake-up time and the number of awakening in the observation group were obviously improved (P<0. 05). The clinical cure rate, the HAMD scale score and the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups all had significant differences (P<0. 05). Conclu-sion:Paroxetine combined with olanzapine in the treatment of depression with sleep disorders shows fast efficacy, which can improve the sleep disorder symptoms and reduce the incidence of adverse reactions significantly.

Objective:To investigate the functional connectivity of default mode network (DMN) and limbic system, the expression level of inflammatory cytokine and their correlation in bipolar disorder type Ⅱ(BDⅡ) patients with depressive episodes.Methods:Thirty-three BD Ⅱ patients with depressive episodes and forty-six healthy controls were recruited to complete the resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). After image preprocessing, the DMN and limbic system were extracted from the image data by independent component analysis (ICA), so as to compare the differences of functional connectivity of resting brain network between the patients and the controls.Serum levels of inflammatory cytokines interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8(IL-8), interleukin-10(IL-10), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and C-C motif chemokine ligand 4 (CCL4) in patients and healthy controls were detected.The correlation between functional connectivity of different brain regions and inflammatory cytokines was analyzed.SPSS 17.0 software was used for data statistical analysis.The two samples were compared using t-test or Mann-Whitney U-test, and Spearman was used for correlation testing. Results:In BDⅡ patients, the functional connectivity of the right medial prefrontal cortex(cluster-size=7 voxel, cluster-level PGRF<0.05, MNI: x=6, y=54, z=9, t=-3.765) and the left superior frontal gyrus(cluster-size=10 voxel, cluster-level PGRF<0.05, MNI: x=-21, y=54, z=15, t=-4.139) in DMN decreased, while the left cerebellum Ⅳ and Ⅴ lobules of limbic system (cluster-size=21 voxel, cluster-level PGRF<0.05, MNI: x=-15, y=-24, z=-30, t=4.468) and cerebellar tonsil of left cerebellum posterior lobe(cluster-size=8 voxel, cluster-level PGRF<0.05, MNI: x=-15, y=-51, z=-45, t=4.138) in the limbic system increased.Compared with the healthy controls, the serum levels of IL-10(7.39 (6.33, 9.32) pg/mL vs 6.54 (5.84, 7.39) pg/mL, Z=-2.937, P=0.003)and CCL4 (39.31 (25.77, 68.70) pg/mL vs 31.30 (20.32, 40.89) pg/mL, Z=-2.209, P=0.027) were higher in BDⅡ patients.The functional connectivity of the left cerebellum Ⅳ and Ⅴ lobules was positively correlated with the serum levels of IL-10 ( r=0.432, P=0.031) and that of the cerebellar tonsil of left cerebellum posterior lobe was positively correlated with the serum levels of IL-10 ( r=0.429, P=0.032) and CCL4 ( r=0.402, P=0.046). Conclusion:The functional connectivity of DMN and limbic system in BDⅡ patients with depressive episode is abnormal in resting-state fMRI.The expression level of inflammatory cytokines in patients' serum increases, and has correlation with the functional connection of limbic system.

Objective To investigate functional connectivity between the two hemispheres in patients with positive symptoms of schizophrenia using voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity ( VMHC ) based on resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). Methods Eighteen patients with positive symptoms of schizophrenia and 22 healthy controls underwent the rs-fMRI. The whole brain VMHC was calculated in order to provide imaging basis for the study of the pathological mechanism of schizophrenia. Results Compared to the controls, VMHC values were decreased in the bilateral orbitofrontal cortex (t=-5.31, P<0.01), fusiform gyrus (t=-5.16, P<0.01), middle occipital gyrus (t=-5.31, P<0.01) in patients with positive symptoms of schizophrenia. Conclusion The functional coordination between homotopic brain regions is impaired in patients with positive symptoms of schizophrenia .

Objective: To investigate the alterations of the cerebral resting-state spontaneous neural activity in colorectal cancer patients with depressive symptoms. Methods: Thirty-three colorectal cancer patients (patient group) with depression and 43 healthy subjects (control group) underwent the resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). The amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (ALFF) and fractional ALFF (fALFF) were calculated. Two independent samples t test were used to compare the ALFF and fALFF values between two groups by DPABI software, and then correlation analysis was performed between ALFF and fALFF with statistical significance and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) scores and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) scores. Results: Compared with the control group, the patient group showed significantly lower ALFF and fALFF values in the bilateral precuneus, calcarine gyrus, lingual gyrus, left cuneus, superior, middle, inferior occipital gyrus and right fusiform gyrus (t=-5.730, P<0.05; t=-4.872, P<0.05). There were no significant correlations between the ALFF and fALFF values in these regions and PHQ-9 or GAD-7 scores (P>0.05). Conclusion Spontaneous decrease of neural activity in occipital and parietal lobes exists in colorectal cancer patients with depression at resting-sate, which may be a potential neurobiological marker.
