Objective:To investigate status quo of social support and social function in homeless schizophrenics.Methods:A total of 468 schizophrenics who received treatment in Hangzhou Seventh People's Hospital from January 2018 to December 2019 were included in this study. They were divided into homeless group ( n = 310) and non-homeless group ( n = 158) according to whether they had homeless behaviors. The basic information of admitted patients, level of social support and disease severity were surveyed among admitted patients using self-made questionnaire regarding basic information of admitted patients, Social Support Rating Scale, and Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale. Results:The numbers of schizophrenics in the aspects including male gender, rural household registration, non-local residents, no occupation, unmarried status, low level education, and age at 30-50 years in the homeless group were significantly higher than those in the non-homeless group ( χ2 = 3.58, 20.14, 18.69, 46.29, 33.16, 24.38, 29.75, all P < 0.05). The score for each SSRS domain and total score in the homeless group were significantly lower than those in the non-homeless group [(15.35 ± 5.42) points, (4.34 ± 2.78) points, (6.48 ± 1.89) points, (26.23 ± 7.35) points; (18.99 ± 3.78) points, (6.35 ± 3.23) points, (7.82 ± 2.01) points, (32.59 ± 7.02) points, t = 6.34, 10.52, 12.83, 14.68, all P < 0.001]. The score for each BPRS domain and total score in the homeless group were significantly higher than those in the non-homeless group [(19.35 ± 5.85) points, (22.58 ± 2.73) points, (18.74 ± 2.46) points, (18.48 ± 0.25) points, (16.38 ± 3.12) points, (79.43 ± 3.64) points; (12.92 ± 4.23) points, (16.24 ± 3.66) points, (16.97 ± 3.77) points, (10.58 ± 3.34) points, (6.36 ± 4.23) points, (62.72 ± 2.57) points, t = 9.92, 7.02, 6.33, 10.35, 15.74, 28.46, all P < 0.001]. Conclusion:The poor individual condition and low level of social support in patients with schizophrenia are important factors that cause homelessness.

Objective:
To investigate the effects of compound Haishe capsule combined with rivastigmine capsule on serum thyroid hormone, inflammatory factors and coagulation function in patients with Alzheimer's disease(AD).
Methods:
From January 2016 to January 2018, 74 patients with AD in the Seventh People's Hospital of Hangzhou were randomly divided into control group and observation group according to the digital table, with 37 cases in each group.The control group was treated with rivastigmine capsule, while the observation group was treated with compound Haishe capsule on the basis of the control group.The two groups were treated for 6 months.The therapeutic effects of the two groups were compared.The changes of BEHAVE-AD and ADAS-Cog scores, thyroid hormones, inflammatory factors and coagulation function were compared before and after treatment.
Results:
The total effective rate of the observation group was 94.59%(35/37), which was higher than 72.97%(27/37) of the control group(

Objective To evaluate the effects of antiretroviral therapy(ART)for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission(PMTCT)of acquired immune deficiency syndrome(AIDS)on the growth and development of 18-month-old children born by human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)-positive pregnant women in Lingshan County,Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region,and provide scientific evidence for improving the ART medication plan for PMTCT.Methods Lingshan County,ranking the first in the HIV-epidemic counties of Guangxi,was selected as the research site.According to the design of retrospective case-control study,we assigned all the subjects into the case group and the control group:(1)The case group included the HIV-positive pregnant women who had received ART for PMTCT and their HIV-negative infants in Lingshan County from 2010 to 2017.The historical cards and PMTCT data of them were collected from the national PMTCT database.(2)The control group included the healthy pregnant women and their healthy babies born in the Lingshan Maternity and Infant Hospital in 2017,and the children's growth and development data were collected.The stunted growth in children was defined as at least one of the three main indicators of body height,body weight,and head circumference below the normal range.Results The number of HIV-positive mothers and their infants in the case group was 391 and 368,respectively,and 87.21%(341/391)and 95.38%(351/368)of mothers and infants respectively received ART medication.The HIV positive rate,mortality rate,and mother-to-child transmission rate of 18-month-old children were 1.36%(5/368),4.35%(16/368),and 2.01%(5/249),respectively.The incidence of stunted growth of 18-month-old children in the case group and the control group was 42.12%(155/368)and 23.06%(101/438),respectively,with significant difference(
