Objective To study the effect of cognitive treatment on the compliance for medication and recrudescence of patients with schizophrenia.Method 106 schizophrenic patients were randomly allocated to the study and the control; both groups treated with antipsychotic medical treatment and health education, while the study group also accepted cognitive psychotherapy. Before treatment and at the ends of 0, 6, 12 months of treatment, the efficacy were investigated using the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS), Insight and Treatment Attitude Questionnaire (ITAQ) and Self-designed Compliance Survey in order to assess the compliance and the recrudescence. Results All the indexes after cognitive psychotherapy were significantly better than those before cognitive psychotherapy. Conclusion The cognitive psychotherapy can effectively reinforce the compliance of patients with schizophrenia, and then improve the quality of life for them.

Objective To observe the effects of Angelicae Sinensis Radix-Paeoniae Radix alba combined with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BM-MSCs)transplantation on liver inflammation and hepatocytes regeneration in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH)associated cirrhosis;To discuss its possible mechanism.Methods West diet combined with carbon tetrachloride was used to prepare the NASH related cirrhosis model.The mice were randomly divided into control group,model group,Angelicae Sinensis Radix-Paeoniae Radix alba group,BM-MSCs group,and Angelicae Sinensis Radix-Paeoniae Radix alba+BM-MSCs group,with 12 mice in each group.After successful modeling,corresponding interventions were given according to grouping for 4 consecutive weeks.HE staining was used to observe the morphology of liver tissue;the contents of serum ALT,AST,TBil,TG,ALB,AFP,as well as the contents of IL-1β,TNF-α and HGF in liver tissue were detected;RT-qPCR was used to detect TLR9,MyD88,TRAF6 and NF-κBp65 mRNA expression in liver cells;primary liver cells were separated,CpG ODN 2216 stimulation was induced in vitro,cells supernatant was extracted,and IL-1β and TNF-α content were detected.Results Compared with the control group,inflammatory cell infiltrated in liver tissue of model group mice,accompanied by hepatocyte necrosis and collagen deposition,forming pseudo lobules;the contents of serum ALT,AST,TBil and TG increased,the content of ALB decreased,the content of HGF in liver tissue decreased,the contents of IL-1β and TNF-α increased,with statistical significance(P<0.05);the mRNA expressions of TLR9,MyD88,TRAF6 and NF-κBp65 in liver cells increased(P<0.05),and the contents of IL-1β and TNF-α in cells supernatant increased after CpG ODN 2216 induction(P<0.05).Compared with the model group,the inflammatory infiltration in liver tissue and necrosis of liver cells were reduced and the degree of liver fibrosis was alleviated in the Angelicae Sinensis Radix-Paeoniae Radix alba+BM-MSCs group,the liver tissue damage in Angelicae Sinensis Radix-Paeoniae Radix alba group and BM-MSCs group were slightly improved;except for the TG content in BM-MSCs group,all detection indicators showed significant improvement in each intervention group(P<0.05).Compared with the Angelicae Sinensis Radix-Paeoniae Radix alba group and BM-MSCs group,the Angelicae Sinensis Radix-Paeoniae Radix alba+BM-MSCs group showed statistical significance in related detection indicators(P<0.05),and demonstrated a synergistic effect.Conclusion Angelicae Sinensis Radix-Paeoniae Radix alba combined with BM-MSCs transplantation could effectively improve the liver function and promote liver cell regeneration.The mechanism is associated with the down-regulation of TLR9/NF-κB signaling pathway expressions and function,the inhibition of inflammatory cytokines secretions,and the improvement of liver inflammatory microenviroment.
