BackgroundPatients with schizophrenia and depressive disorders exhibit abnormalities in perceptual processing. Previous perceptual studies are mainly based on asking participants to fill in a questionnaire, and little research has been undertaken on objective behavior in patients with schizophrenia and depressive disorders. ObjectiveTo explore the behavioral changes in vibrotactile sense among patients with schizophrenia and depressive disorders, so as to enrich relevant findings in objective behavioral research. MethodsFrom March 2021 to September 2023, 33 patients with schizophrenia and 31 patients with depressive disorders in the outpatient and inpatient departments of Beijing Huilongguan Hospital and met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition (DSM-5) diagnostic criteria were enrolled. And another 34 healthy controls were concurrently recruited at Beihang University and Beijing Huilongguan Hospital. Patients with schizophrenia were assessed using Positive and Negative Symptom Scale (PANSS), and patients with depressive disorders were assessed using Hamilton Depression Scale-17 item (HAMD-17). The vibrotactile sensitivity of the left hand in all participants was tested in a delay match-to-sample procedure, and the correct rate of vibrotactile delayed discrimination task was compared among the three groups. ResultsCompared with healthy controls, a reduction was found in the correct rates at index finger, middle finger and ring finger in patients with schizophrenia (P<0.01), the average correct rate at five fingers in patients with schizophrenia (P=0.001), and the correct rate at thumb in patients with depressive disorders (P=0.026). No statistical difference was reported in correct rate of vibrotactile delayed discrimination task between patients with depression disorders and schizophrenia (P>0.05). The average correct rate of vibrotactile sense in schizophrenia group was not significantly correlated with the duration of disease, age of onset, chlorpromazine equivalent doses and PANSS score (r=0.058、0.045、0.114、-0.194, P>0.05). The average correct rate in depressive group was negatively correlated with age of onset (r=-0.415, P=0.020), but not significantly correlated with the duration of disease and HAMD-17 score (r=-0.044, 0.142, P>0.05). ConclusionPatients with schizophrenia and depressive disorders have impaired vibrotactile sense. The vibrotactile sense is impaired in index, middle and ring fingers among patients with schizophrenia, and in thumbs of patients with depressive disorders. Moreover, the impairment in patients with depressive disorders may be related to the age of onset. [Funded by 2023 Hebei Provincial Graduate Innovation Funding Project (number, CXZZSS2023140)]

BACKGROUND:
Pneumonia-like primary pulmonary lymphoma (PPL) was commonly misdiagnosed as infectious pneumonia, leading to delayed treatment. The purpose of this study was to establish a computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics model to differentiate pneumonia-like PPL from infectious pneumonia.
METHODS:
In this retrospective study, 79 patients with pneumonia-like PPL and 176 patients with infectious pneumonia from 12 medical centers were enrolled. Patients from center 1 to center 7 were assigned to the training or validation cohort, and the remaining patients from other centers were used as the external test cohort. Radiomics features were extracted from CT images. A three-step procedure was applied for radiomics feature selection and radiomics signature building, including the inter- and intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs), a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO). Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to identify the significant clinicoradiological variables and construct a clinical factor model. Two radiologists reviewed the CT images for the external test set. Performance of the radiomics model, clinical factor model, and each radiologist were assessed by receiver operating characteristic, and area under the curve (AUC) was compared.
RESULTS:
A total of 144 patients (44 with pneumonia-like PPL and 100 infectious pneumonia) were in the training cohort, 38 patients (12 with pneumonia-like PPL and 26 infectious pneumonia) were in the validation cohort, and 73 patients (23 with pneumonia-like PPL and 50 infectious pneumonia) were in the external test cohort. Twenty-three radiomics features were selected to build the radiomics model, which yielded AUCs of 0.95 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.94-0.99), 0.93 (95% CI: 0.85-0.98), and 0.94 (95% CI: 0.87-0.99) in the training, validation, and external test cohort, respectively. The AUCs for the two readers and clinical factor model were 0.74 (95% CI: 0.63-0.83), 0.72 (95% CI: 0.62-0.82), and 0.73 (95% CI: 0.62-0.84) in the external test cohort, respectively. The radiomics model outperformed both the readers' interpretation and clinical factor model ( P <0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
The CT-based radiomics model may provide an effective and non-invasive tool to differentiate pneumonia-like PPL from infectious pneumonia, which might provide assistance for clinicians in tailoring precise therapy.

ObjectiveTo discuss the relationship between objective sleep quality and cognitive function in remission depression patients with insomnia. MethodsA total of 47 patients with depression in remission in Beijing Huilongguan Hospital were enrolled. Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and the sleep efficiency calculated by the first four items of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were defined as insomnia. Among the selected patients, 22 subjects were classified into insomnia group, and 25 subjects in non-insomnia group. The objective sleep status of all subjects was evaluated by polysomnography (PSG), and the cognitive function was evaluated with the Repeatable Battery for Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS). A regression model was established to explore the relationship between objective sleep quality and cognitive function in remission depression patients with insomnia. ResultsThere was statistically significant difference in immediate memory factor scores of RBANS between depression patients in remission with and without insomnia (t=-2.102, P<0.05). The sleep efficiency (Z=-2.113, P<0.05), the proportion of N3 sleep stage (Z=-3.175, P<0.01) and the duration of N3 sleep stage (Z=-3.196, P<0.01) in insomnia group were all lower than those in non-insomnia group, and the nocturnal awakening (Z=-2.058, P<0.01), the proportion of N1 sleep stage (Z=-2.399, P<0.05) and the duration of N1 sleep stage (Z=-2.463, P<0.05) were higher than those of the insomnia group. Within insomnia group, the increased proportion of REM sleep was correlated with the improvement of attention function (β=0.953, 95% CI: 0.123~2.038, P<0.05), and the increase of nocturnal awakening was correlated with the decline of delayed memory (β=-0.173, 95% CI: -0.325~-0.024, P<0.05). ConclusionObjective sleep is associated with cognitive impairment in remission depression patients with insomnia, the proportion of REM sleep has a positive impact on attention function, and frequent nocturnal awakening at night has a negative impact on delayed memory.

Inflammatory response is an effective host defense mechanism to eliminate pathogens at the site of infection. The regression phase of inflammation mainly maintains the stable environment in tissues. Pro-inflammatory regression mediators (SPMs) are endogenous anti-inflammatory molecules, which play an important role in reducing excessive tissue damage and chronic inflammation. This paper reviews the interaction between SPMs and immune cells in inflammatory sites. By reviewing the relevant literature, it was found that SPMs regulate the components of innate and adaptive immune system, including neutrophils, macrophages, innate lymphocytes, natural killer cells and T cells.

Objective:To study the effects of LY294002, a phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase(PI3K) inhibitor, on the AKT/GSK3β/CRMP2 signaling pathway, and the effect of pathway alterations on the depression-like behavior and microtubulin proteins of SD rats.Methods:Sixteen adult male SD rats were randomly divided into LY294002 group and solvent DMSO group by blind method, 8 rats in each group.After anesthesia, the rats were subjected to stereotactic tube placement in the hippocampal CA1 area. After 1 week of the tube placement, stereoscopic injection of LY294002 or DMSO was given, and depression-like behaviors were detected. RT-qPCR technology was used to detect hippocampal AKT, GSK3β, CRMP2, and tubulin mRNA expression levels, and Western blot technology was used to detect the expression levels of hippocampal AKT, p-AKT, GSK3β, p-GSK3β, CRMP2, p-CRMP2, and microtubule dynamic-related proteins markers Acet-tubulin, Tyr-tubulin. Analysis and comparison of behavioral and molecular expression differences between the two groups were conducted.Results:The open field experiment showed that the central movement distance of the rats in the LY294002 group were significantly lower than those in the control group((3.64±2.17) cm, (31.51±12.68) cm; t=2.69, P=0.03), and the duration of the central area in the LY294002 group were also significantly lower than those in the control group((0.73±0.46)s, (4.85±2.10)s; t=2.33, P=0.04). The results of the forced swimming test showed that the immobility time of rats in the LY294002 group had upward trend, but the difference was not statistically significant. The sucrose preference results showed no significant difference in sugar water consumption between the two groups ( P>0.05). The RT-qPCR results showed that the expression level of CRMP2 mRNA in the LY294002 group decreased significantly ( P<0.05). Western blot results showed that compared with solvent DMSO group, the expression levels of p-AKT and p-GSK3β in the LY294002 group decreased ( P<0.05), the expression level of CRMP2 was decreased and the expression level of p-CRMP2 was significantly increased. At the same time, the expression level of Tyr-tubulin decreased, while Acet-tubulin level increased significantly, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusion:LY294002 affects AKT/GSK3β/CRMP2 signaling pathway, induces impairment of microtubular dynamic, and results in depression-like behavior in rats.
