ObjectiveTo explore the childhood trauma experience and its relation to the eye emotion recognition ability in patients with schizophrenia.MethodsSeventy-one schizophrenic patients and fifty-two healthy subjects were assessed with the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) and the Eye Basic Emotion Discrimination Task (EBEDT).ResultsThe CTQ total score in the patients group was significantly higher than those in the control group (47.86 ± 13.26 vs 34.27 ± 7.27,P < 0.01 ).The subscores in emotional abuse,physical abuse,sexual abuse,emotional neglect and physical neglect of CTQ in the patients group were also significantly higher than those in the control group.(all P< 0.01 ).Compared with controls,the patients had significantly lower total accuracy( (86.74 ± 6.16vs73.42 ± 11.86) %,P < 0.01 ) and longer total reaction time ( (2776.75 ± 703.42 vs 4321.40 ± 1956.83 )ms,P < 0.01 )of EBEDT.The significant difference were also found on the accuracy and reaction time of the EBEDT six basic emotion between the two groups ( all P < 0.01 ).Correlation analysis indicated that CTQ total score were negatively correlated with the EBEDT total accuracy ( r=-0.390,P<0.01 ),and its sub-accuracy of happiness,surprise,sadness,and anger ( respectively r =- 0.419,r =- 0.451,r =- 0.391,r =- 0.344,P < 0.01 ) in the patients group.The correlation between CTQ total score and EBEDT total accuracy was also found in the control group.ConclusionChildhood trauma is related to eye basic emotion recognition in schizophrenia patients,suggesting that the trauma during childhood can affect the social recognition ability.

Objective:To investigate the effect of diabetes mellitus in the elderly on memory function in patients with mild cognitive impairment(MCI).Methods:Totally 449 community residents were selected for a 2-year follow-up survey.Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA)and Mini-Mental State Examination(MMSE)were selected for overall cognitive function assessment.Fuld Object Memory(FOM)and Digital Span Test(DST)were used to evaluate delayed recall and instantaneous memory.Demographic data such as gender, age, education level, marital history, annual income, blood pressure, medical history etc.were collected.The glycosylated hemoglobin, fasting insulin, and carotid artery intima-media thickness were checked regularly.All subjects were grouped into non-diabetes mellitus normal cognitive group(NDM-NC group), non-diabetes mellitus mild cognitive impairment group(NDM-MCI group), diabetes mellitus normal cognitive group(DM-NC group)and diabetes mellitus mild cognitive impairment group(DM-MCI group).Results:In cross-sectional observation, the first, second, and last recall scores in the FOM showed a decreasing trend in the DM-MCI group, showed a word "U" -shaped fluctuation trend in the DM-NC group and the NDM-MCI group, and showed no significant change in the NDM-NC group.There were no significant differences in DST anterior-backward test scores between the DM-MCI group and NDM-MCI group(all P>0.05).Through longitudinal follow-up and two-by-two comparison with the other three groups, the average value of glycosylated hemoglobin in the DM-MCI group(6.78±0.60)% was the highest, and the differences were statistically significant( P<0.05).During follow-up, the average carotid intima-media thickness(CIMT)was higher in the DM-MCI group(1.03±0.20)mm than in NDM-NC group(0.89±0.20)mm( P<0.05), and the difference was statistically significant.Comparing with the other three longitudinal follow-up groups, the CIMT thickening speed in DM-MCI group was fastest. Conclusions:Elderly DM patient population have a higher prevalence of MCI, and their memory function fluctuates or declines significantly.Therefore, regular detection of memory function is conducive to delaying the progression of DM and MCI.

ObjectiveTo explore the association between triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) risk in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients with blood stasis syndrome after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). MethodsA total of 857 CHD patients with blood stasis syndrome after PCI were enrolled and divided into four groups according to the baseline TyG index quartiles, Q1 (TyG < 8.51), Q2 (8.51 ≤ TyG < 8.88), Q3 (8.88 ≤ TyG < 9.22), and Q4 (TyG ≥ 9.22). The clinical outcome was defined as a compound endpoint of cardiovascular events including cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, unplanned revascularization, in-stent restenosis and stroke. The machine learning Boruta algorithm was used for feature selection related to MACEs risk. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards regression model were used to compare the differences in MACEs risk among the four groups. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) and subgroup analysis were performed to determine the relationship between the TyG index and MACEs risk. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC), calibration curve and Hosmer-Lemeshow test, and decision curve analysis (DCA) were plotted to evaluate the predictive value of the TyG index for MACEs risk. ResultsThe median follow-up time of the included patients was 2.45 years. During the follow-up period, 313 cases (36.52%) of new MACEs occurred. The incidence of MACEs in Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 group was 28.17% (60/213), 29.05% (61/210), 39.45% (86/218) and 49.07% (106/216), respectively. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis suggested statistically significant differences in MACEs risk among the four groups (P<0.001). Cox proportional hazards regression model analysis found that the risk of MACEs in patients with high TyG index increased by 60.1% (P<0.01). Using Q1 as the reference, the MACEs risk in Q2, Q3 and Q4 groups gradually increased, and the trend was statistically significant (P<0.05). RCS model suggested that the TyG index was nonlinearly associated with the MACEs risk (P<0.001). The TyG index had a good predictive performance for MACEs risk according to ROC analysis (AUC=0.758, 0.724-0.792) and Hosmer-Lemeshow test (χ2 = 4.319, P = 0.827). Additionally, DCA analysis also suggested a good clinical efficacy of the TyG index for predicting MACEs. Subgroup analysis showed that different baseline TyG index was positively correlated with the MACEs risk in the stratification of age, male, BMI, history of diabetes and hypertension, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)≥1.8 mmol

OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of Shenfu injection combined with chemical medicine in the treatment of coronary heart disease combined with heart failure. METHODS Retrieved from CNKI, CBM, VIP, Wanfang, PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about Shenfu injection combined with chemical medicine (trial group) versus chemical medicine (control group) in the treatment of heart failure with coronary heart disease were collected during the inception to August 2022. After literature screening and data extraction, the qualities of included literature were evaluated and rated by using Cochrane manual and GRADE system. Meta-analysis and Egger’s were performed with RevMan 5.3 software, and TSA 0.9.5.10 Beta software was used for trial sequential analysis. RESULTS Seventeen studies were included, with a total sample of 1 355 patients. The quality grade evidence of GRADE was all low. Meta-analysis showed that cardiac function efficacy [RR=1.23, 95%CI (1.16,1.30), P<0.000 01], the decrease of brain natriuretic peptide [MD=-96.06, 95%CI (-116.47, -75.64), P<0.000 01] and the increase of left ventricular ejection fraction [MD=5.32, 95%CI (4.03,6.60), P<0.000 01] in trial group were significantly better than control group; there was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups [RR=0.52,95%CI(0.22,1.22),P=0.13]. The results of sequential analysis showed that the sample size included in this study met the requirements of meta-analysis; the results of Egger’s test showed that the results were robust and publication bias had no significant effect on the results. CONCLUSIONS Shenfu injection combined with chemical medicine in the treatment of coronary heart disease combined with heart failure can further improve the clinical symptoms and related indicators, and no serious adverse reaction is observed.
