Objective To explore the feature of functional connectivity of default mode network (DMN) and salience network (SN) in unmedicated schizophrenia patients during a resting state by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fM-RI). Methods The SPM8 and DPARSFA softwares combined with independent component analysis (ICA) were used to in-vestigate functional connectivity (FC) of the DMN and SN in 27 unmedicated patients with schizophrenia and 27 age-and gender-matched healthy controls. Results Concerning the DMN, patients with schizophrenia showed decreased FC in right inferior frontal gyrus , right precuneus(unadjusted P<0.05)and increased FC in right middle cingulate gyrus, left middle frontal gyrus(unadjusted P<0.05). With regard to the SN, patients showed reduced connectivity in left inferior frontal gyrus, right inferior frontal gyrus, left anterior cingulate, left postcentral gyrus(unadjusted P<0.05)and increased connectivity in left superior temporal gyrus(unadjusted P<0.05). Correlation analyses showed that the increased FC of left superior temporal gyrus significantly correlated with PANSS-positive symptoms(r=0.568,P=0.002)and decreased FC of right precuneus significantly negatively correlated with delusion symptom(r=-0.458,P=0.016). Conclusion This study provides evidence for resting state functional abnormalities of DMN and SN in unmedicated schizophrenia patients. These aberrant function connectivities in some brain regions of the two networks could be a source of abnormal introspectively-oriented mental actives.

Objective:To conduct scoping review on relevant studies on the application of telehealth in the disease prevention of pre-diabetic patients, in order to identify the main forms, content elements and application effects of telehealth and provide evidence for medical workers to carry out relevant intervention.Methods:Relevant studies were systematically searched in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP, Wanfang database and China Biology Medicine disc. The search time was from the establishment of the databases to December 6, 2023. The included studies were summarized and analyzed.Results:A total of 33 literatures were included. The results showed that the main forms of telehealth included network communication software, applications, portable electronic devices, website platforms and artificial intelligence. The contents of telehealth mainly involved health education, data monitoring, peer support, personalized programs and psychological guidance. The outcome indexes of telehealth were physiological indexes, disease management indexes, exercise indexes, diet indexes, experience indexes and psychological indexes.Conclusions:Network communication software and application programs are the main forms of telehealth for pre-diabetic patients and multi-element and all-round telehealth services can enhance the application experience of patients. The effect of telehealth has initially appeared, but it needs to be verified for a long time.

Sarcopenia,also known as"oligomyositis""hypomyositis"and"muscle wasting",is an age-related geriatric syndrome characterized by decreased muscle mass,muscle strength and function decline.It can increase the risk of adverse out-comes such as physical disability,poor quality of life,and death.The pathogenic factors of sarcopenia mainly include older age,diseases,lack of exercise,malnutrition,etc.As one of the key factors affecting sarcopenia,the nutritional status of the body play an important role in the development of sarcopenia.Therefore,this paper reviews the role of nutrition in sarcopenia and nutritional interventions for patients with common chronic diseases combined with sarcopenia,aiming to provide a basis for the developing more scientific and rationalized nutritional intervention program for elderly patients with sarcopenia.

Objective: Abnormalities of static brain activity have been reported in schizophrenia, but it remains to be clarified the temporal variability of intrinsic brain activities in schizophrenia and how atypical antipsychotics affect it. Methods: We employed a resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) and a sliding-window analysis of dynamic amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (dALFF) to evaluate the dynamic brain activities in schizophrenia (SZ) patients before and after 8-week antipsychotic treatment. Twenty-six schizophrenia individuals and 26 matched healthy controls (HC) were included in this study. Results: Compared with HC, SZ showed stronger dALFF in the right inferior temporal gyrus (ITG.R) at baseline. After medication, the SZ group exhibited reduced dALFF in the right middle occipital gyrus (MOG.R) and increased dALFF in the left superior frontal gyrus (SFG.L), right middle frontal gyrus (MFG.R), and right inferior parietal lobule (IPL.R). Dynamic ALFF in IPL.R was found to significant negative correlate with the Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms (SANS) scores at baseline. Conclusion Our results showed dynamic intrinsic brain activities altered in schizophrenia after short term antipsychotic treatment. The findings of this study support and expand the application of dALFF method in the study of the pathological mechanism in psychosis in the future.
