Objective:To explore the correlation between serum protein factor level and clinical symptoms and cognitive impairment in patients with schizophrenia and to predict the degree of cognitive impairment, so as to provide an auxiliary method for clinical evaluation of cognitive impairment severity and prognosis of schizophrenia.Methods:From September 2017 to April 2019, 71 schizophrenic patients diagnosed in the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University were selected as the patient group, and 65 healthy volunteers from the physical examination center of the same hospital were selected as the control group.The concentrations of tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α), brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF) and calcium-binding protein β(S100β) in peripheral blood were detected by ELISA method.Cognitive function was evaluated by MATRICS consensus cognitive battery(MCCB) cognitive assessment.The clinical symptoms of patients were evaluated by positive and negative syndrome scale(PANSS) scale.SPSS 20.0 software was used for statistical analysis, independent sample t-test was used for comparison between groups, and Pearson correlation analysis was used for the relationship between serum protein factor level and cognitive function and clinical symptoms.In order to objectively predict, evaluate and verify the severity of cognitive impairment in schizophrenia, Bayes discriminant function was established with serum protein factor concentration and PANSS total score as independent variables and the defect degree of cognitive factors in MCCB as dependent variables. Results:The serum TNF-α((63.2±25.2)pg/L vs (31.4±14.3)pg/L) and S100β((68.0±26.4)pg/L vs (47.3±20.2)pg/L) concentrations in the patient group were higher than those in the control group.The concentration of serum BDNF in the patient group was lower than that in the control group ((2 517.8±1 140.2)pg/L vs (5 202.2±447.2)pg/L), and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.000). In the retrospective test of cognitive impairment severity in Bayes discriminant function model, the correct discrimination rates of four cognitive factors were speed of processing(SoP) 69.0%, Verbal learning(VeL) 63.4%, reasoning and problem solving(RPS) 76.1% and visual learning(ViL) 73.2%.The correct discrimination rates of cross-examination were SoP 66.2%, VeL 60.6%, RPS 73.2%, ViL 66.2. Conclusion:The levels of serum protein factors TNF-α, BDNF and S100β and clinical symptom scores of schizophrenia have different degrees of correlation with the severity score of cognitive impairment.Bayes discriminant function model has higher correct discrimination rate for the severity of cognitive impairment of schizophrenia.It is found that the levels of schizophrenia-related protein factors and clinical symptom scores may have predictive effect on the severity of cognitive impairment, providing a more objective basis for the clinical efficacy evaluation of schizophrenia patients.

Objective To investigate the serum levels of neuregulin-1 (NRG-1) and the gamma activity of the prefrontal cortex of electroencephalogram (EEG) in the resting state in first-episode schizophrenia patients and exam﹣ine their correlation with clinical symptoms and cognitive function. Methods The serum levels of NRG-1 were mea﹣sured in 53 patients and 58 controls. The gamma activity was first collected from the lead of FP1 and FP2 of the pre﹣frontal cortex of EEG and was then measured by using time-frequency analysis. The psychotic symptoms were as﹣sessed by positive and negative syndrome scale (PANSS). The MATRICS consensus cognitive battery (MCCB) was used to assess the cognitive function. Results The serum levels of NRG-1 was significantly lower in the case group than in the control [(7.36±3.96) pg/mL vs. (11.02±8.78) pg/mL, P=0.006]. The gamma activity was significantly different be﹣tween the case group and the control group [39(73.6%) vs. 14(26.4%), P<0.001]. The scores of TMT in MCCB was significantly higher while the scores of BACS SC, HVLT-R, NAB, BVMT-R and CF scores were significantly lower in the case group than the control group (P<0.01). There was a negative correlation between the serum NRG-1 level and the gamma activity in the case group (r=-0.542, P<0.001). There was a negative correlation between the serum NRG-1 level with PANSS (r=-0.360, P=0.009), while the gamma activity was positively correlated with PANSS (r=0.278, P=0.046) in the case group. The serum NRG-1 level was significantly positively correlated with the scores of HVLT-R in the case group (r=0.332, P=0.016), and the gamma activity was significantly negatively correlated with the scores of HVLT-R (r=-0.442, P=0.001) and NAB (r=-0.307, P=0.027). Conclusion The serum NRG-1 level and the gamma activity are correlated with the clinical symptoms and cognitive impairment of patients with first-episode schizophrenia to some degree, suggesting that abnormal neurobiochemical and neuroelectrophysiological reactions exist and interact with each other in the early stage of schizophrenia.

Objective:To conduct a longitudinal study on different social support needs of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) at different stages undergoing emergency PCI based on timing it right framework combined with multidimensional model of social support, so as to provide reference for the implementation of accurate nursing.Methods:Using the interpretative phenomenological research method, a total of 21 emergency PCI patients from Department of Cardiology in two ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Taiyuan were selected from December 2019 to July 2020 by the purposive sampling method. According to the course of the disease, 4 semi-structured interviews were conducted on the patients, combined with participatory observation. The interpretive phenomenological analysis method was used to analyze the data, and the social support multi-dimensional model was used to classify the results.Results:A total of 23 themes were extracted. The information support requirements of each phase were in order of diagnosis and risk, AMI and PCI related knowledge, medical notification rights, individualized paper discharge guidance, causes of discomfort and first aid knowledge (the latter two phases were the same) . The tool support requirements for each phase were emergency medical services, advanced stents and emergency PCI technology, green channels, economic support and mobile health care resources (the latter two phases were the same) . The emotional support needs of each stage included companionship and sense of security, acceptance and encouragement, psychological adjustment and construction (the same in the next phase) and strengthening independence. The social network support needs of each stage included the assistance of strangers to send to the hospital, the virtue and skill of medical staff, peer support, and reintegration into society (the latter three stages were the same) . The need for self-esteem support in each period was believing that they can survive, taking care of themselves as much as possible, keeping their illness confidential, receiving recognition for their recovery and giving back to others.Conclusions:The social support needs of emergency PCI patients change with the course of the disease. It is recommended that medical staff adopt a dynamic and continuous care concept, establish and improve a framework of social support needs that meets the local humanities, so as to facilitate education, evaluation and intervention.

ObjectiveBy exploring the volatile components, polysaccharide composition and changes in the contents of five carbohydrate components of Polygonatum cyrtonema rhizoma before and after processing, and then the effect of yellow rice wine on the odour formation of P. cyrtonema rhizoma was investigated. MethodThe volatile components of P. cyrtonema rhizoma before and after processing were detected by headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(HS-GC-MS), and sample data were subjected to principal component analysis(PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA) using SIMCA 14.1, then the differences between these components of P. cyrtonema rhizoma before and after processing were screened according to the principle of variable importance in the projection(VIP) value>1. Crude carbohydrate components in raw and wine-processed P. cyrtonema rhizoma were subjected to oxime and silylation, the carbohydrate components were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS/MS), and the relative contents of various components were calculated by peak area normalization, then quantitative analysis of four carbohydrate components was also carried out. ResultA total of 23 volatile components were identified from the raw products and the wine-processed products, including 15 components in raw products and 20 components in wine-processed products. Among them, 2-methylbutyraldehyde and isovaleraldehyde had a sweet odor and their contents increased after processing, but the contents of hexanal and caproic acid decreased, new components such as 2-acetylfuran and 5-methylfuranal were produced after processing. PCA and OPLS-DA results showed that there were significant differences between raw products and the wine-processed products, a total of 13 differential compounds were screened out, of which 7 showed an upward trend in relative content and 6 showed a downward trend. A total of 7 carbohydrate components, including 5 monosaccharides and 2 disaccharides, were identified in raw products and the wine-processed products. The results of determination showed that the contents of fructose, glucose, mannose and sucrose in P. cyrtonema rhizoma increased after wine-processing, and their increases were 4.54, 1.51, 2.93, 3.66 times, respectively. ConclusionAfter processing, the increase of aromatic flavor of P. cyrtonema rhizoma may be related to the increase of the contents of aldehydes such as 2-methylbutyraldehyde and isovaleraldehyde, while the decrease of raw flavor may be related to the decrease of the contents of volatile components such as hexanal and hexanoic acid, the increase of sweet flavor may be related to the increase of the contents of monosaccharides and oligosaccharides such as fructose and sucrose.
