Objective:To approach the effectiveness and safety of traditional Chinese medicine combined with risperidone in the treatment of schizophrenia,and to provide basis for their application in clinic. Methods:The Cochrane,Pubmed,EMBase,CNKI,Wanfang and VIP databases were used to retrieve the randomized controlled trials (RCTs ) and CCTs about traditional Chinese medicine combined with risperidone in the treatment of schizophrenia by computer;and manual retrieval was performed at the same time.The literatures met the standard were collected.The qualities of all the included studies were assessed by Cochrane Handbook and Meta-analysis was performed by use of the RevMan 5.2 software. Results:Fifteen trials and 1 314 patients were included in this review. The qualities of 11 studies were grade C.The Meta-analysis results showed that the clinical effective rate in traditional Chinese medicine combined with risperidone treatment group was higher than that in control group,the difference between two groups was statistically significant (OR= 2.11,95% CI: 1.59 - 2.81,P < 0.01 ).The incidence of adverse drug reactions (insomnia,extrapyramidal symptoms,akathisia)in traditional Chinese medicine combined with risperidone treatment group was lower than that in alone risperidone group, and there were significant differences between two groups (OR=0.25,95%CI:0.17-0.36,P <0.01).Conclusion:Traditional Chinese medicine combined with risperidone is superior to simple application of risperidone in the treatment of schizophrenia,and they can reduce the occurrence of adverse effects of medicine.

Background/Aims: Low educational attainment is a well-established risk factor for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in developed areas. However, the association between educational attainment and the risk of NAFLD is less clear in China. Methods: A cross-sectional study including over 200,000 Chinese adults across mainland China was conducted. Information on education level and lifestyle factors were obtained through standard questionnaires, while NAFLD and advanced fibrosis were diagnosed using validated formulas. Outcomes included the risk of NAFLD in the general population and high probability of fibrosis among patients with NAFLD. Logistic regression analysis was employed to estimate the risk of NAFLD and fibrosis across education levels. A causal mediation model was used to explore the potential mediators. Results: Comparing with those receiving primary school education, the multi-adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for NAFLD were 1.28 (1.16 to 1.41) for men and 0.94 (0.89 to 0.99) for women with college education after accounting for body mass index. When considering waist circumference, the odds ratios (95% CIs) were 0.94 (0.86 to 1.04) for men and 0.88 (0.80 to 0.97) for women, respectively. The proportions mediated by general and central obesity were 51.00% and 68.04% for men, while for women the proportions were 48.58% and 32.58%, respectively. Furthermore, NAFLD patients with lower educational attainment showed an incremental increased risk of advanced fibrosis in both genders. Conclusions In China, a low education level was associated with a higher risk of prevalent NAFLD in women, as well as high probability of fibrosis in both genders.
