ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases and their influencing factors in community-based schizophrenia patients in Shanghai, and to provide a scientific basis for the early identification and prevention of cardiovascular disease in this population. MethodsBased on the Shanghai community cohort with severe mental disorders in 2022, a total of 3 954 community-based schizophrenia patients were identified and included in this study through a stratified cluster sampling method. Basic information and relevant clinical data (including metabolic index data) were collected through questionnaire survey, physical examination and laboratory testing. Univariate analyses were performed using the chi-square tests, and multivariate logistic regression analyses were employed to identify influencing factors of comorbid cardiovascular diseases. ResultsA total of 3 954 community-based schizophrenia patients were included, of which a total of 1 237 (31.28%) patients had comorbid cardiovascular diseases. Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that age 60 years old or above (OR=5.524, 95%CI: 3.716‒8.214), smoking behavior (OR=1.328, 95%CI: 1.042‒1.692), overweight (OR=1.900, 95%CI: 1.046‒3.451) or obesity (OR=2.678, 95%CI: 1.439‒4.985), elevated blood pressure (OR=1.546, 95%CI: 1.294‒1.846), abnormal fasting blood glucose (OR=1.552, 95%CI: 1.322‒1.823) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol abnormalities (OR=1.283, 95%CI: 1.025‒1.606) were positively associated with the risk of comorbid cardiovascular diseases in patients with schizophrenia, while educational attainment of college/bachelor’s degree or above (OR=0.640, 95%CI: 0.450‒0.910) and being unmarried (OR=0.552, 95%CI: 0.457‒0.667) were negatively associated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases comorbidity. ConclusionAdvanced age, unhealthy behaviors and lifestyles, as well as abnormalities in blood pressure, blood glucose, and blood lipids, could all increase the risk of comorbid cardiovascular diseases in community schizophrenia patients. It is suggested to strengthen the monitoring and management of these risk factors in this population in the future, so as to achieve early detection, early diagnosis and early intervention of cardiovascular diseases.

Objective To explore the potential of autologous dendritic cells (DC) pulsed with HLA-A201-binding peptide E613-21(KLPDLCTEL) and E786-94(TLGIVCPI)in inducing specific T cells respouse in vitro.Methods Cervical carcinoma patients with positive HLA-A201 were enrolled and their monocytes isolated and induced into dendritic cells and pulsed with HLA-A201-binding peptide E613-21 and E786-94.PBLs were primed by DCs every week for thee times.The cytokine level of supernatant of CTLs was tested by ELISA.The percentage of special CTLs was tested by flow cytometry.The specific killing effect of CTLs was tested by MTT.Results the numbers of DCs of eleven cervical carcinoma patients were (10.79±0.88) ×106(100 ml peripheral blood).CDllc+HLA-DR+(97.15±2.41)%,CD80+(84.28+5.39)%,CD83 +(85.17±5.06) %,CD86 + (97.74+0.87) %.Proliferation index of PBLs primed by DCs three times was 15.4± 1.5.Cytokine levels including IL-2,IL-12,IFN-γ and TNF-α were obviously higher than nonpriming PBLs[(2551.9+195.3) pg/ml,(554.9±64.0) pg/ml,(2416.9±281.7) pg/ml,(632.4 +71.1)pg/ml,respectively] (P<0.05),but IL-10 was no significant difference between priming CTLs and nonpriming CTLs.The average percentage of special CTLs was obviously higher than control group[(6.32±1.54)%,P<0.05].The killing effect of CTLs was obviously higher than control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Dendritic cells pulsed with peptide E613-21 and E786-94 can induce special CTLs in vitro and stimulate CTLs secret cytokines.This will provide science basis for research of therapeutic HPV vaccine.
