Background::Although existing mycological tests (bronchoalveolar lavage [BAL] galactomannan [GM], serum GM, serum (1,3)-β-D-glucan [BDG], and fungal culture) are widely used for diagnosing invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) in non-hematological patients with respiratory diseases, their clinical utility in this large population is actually unclear. We aimed to resolve this clinical uncertainty by evaluating the diagnostic accuracy and utility of existing tests and explore the efficacy of novel sputum-based Aspergillus assays. Methods::Existing tests were assessed in a prospective and consecutive cohort of patients with respiratory diseases in West China Hospital between 2016 and 2019 while novel sputum assays (especially sputum GM and Aspergillus-specific lateral-flow device [LFD]) in a case-controlled subcohort. IPA was defined according to the modified European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer/Mycoses Study Group criteria. Sensitivity and specificity were computed for each test and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed. Results::The entire cohort included 3530 admissions (proven/probable IPA = 66, no IPA = 3464) and the subcohort included 127 admissions (proven/probable IPA = 38, no IPA = 89). Sensitivity of BAL GM (≥1.0 optical density index [ODI]: 86% [24/28]) was substantially higher than that of serum GM (≥0.5 ODI: 38% [39/102]) ( χ2 = 19.83, P < 0.001), serum BDG (≥70 pg/mL: 33% [31/95]) ( χ2 = 24.65, P < 0.001), and fungal culture (33% [84/253]) ( χ2 = 29.38, P < 0.001). Specificity varied between BAL GM (≥1.0 ODI: 94% [377/402]), serum GM (≥0.5 ODI: 95% [2130/2248]), BDG (89% [1878/2106]), and culture (98% [4936/5055]). Sputum GM (≥2.0 ODI) had similar sensitivity (84% [32/38]) (Fisher’s exact P = 1.000) to and slightly lower specificity (87% [77/89]) ( χ2 = 5.52, P = 0.019) than BAL GM (≥1.0 ODI). Area under the ROC curve values were comparable between sputum GM (0.883 [0.812-0.953]) and BAL GM (0.901 [0.824-0.977]) ( P = 0.734). Sputum LFD had similar specificity (91% [81/89]) ( χ2 = 0.89, P = 0.345) to and lower sensitivity (63% [24/38]) ( χ2 = 4.14, P = 0.042) than BAL GM (≥1.0 ODI), but significantly higher sensitivity than serum GM (≥0.5 ODI) ( χ2 = 6.95, P = 0.008), BDG ( χ2 = 10.43, P = 0.001), and fungal culture ( χ2 = 12.70, P < 0.001). Conclusions::Serum GM, serum BDG, and fungal culture lack sufficient sensitivity for diagnosing IPA in respiratory patients. Sputum GM and LFD assays hold promise as rapid, sensitive, and non-invasive alternatives to the BAL GM test.

Objective:To explore the influence of childhood abuse experience on relapse tendency of compulsory drug abusers, and the intermediary role of resilience and depression between them.Methods:A total of 261 drug abusers were investigated with childhood trauma questionnaire(CTQ), the Connor-Davidson resilience scale (CD-RISC), self-rating depression scale (SDS) and relapse tendency psychological questionnaire.All data processing and analysis were carried out by SPSS 25.0 software.Correlation analysis, Bootstrap analysis and other methods were used to test the mediating effect.Results:The scores of childhood abuse treatment, resilience, depression and relapse tendency were 44.690±18.550, 60.210±22.790, 48.370±12.450, and 15.300±9.833 respectively.Childhood abuse was negatively correlated with resilience( r=-0.396, P<0.01), and positively correlated with depression and relapse tendency( r=0.584, 0.298, P<0.01).Resilience was negatively correlated with depression and relapse tendency( r=-0.558, -0.147, P<0.05).Depression had a significant positive correlation with relapse tendency( r=0.286, P<0.01).Childhood abuse could directly predict the tendency of relapse( β=0.202, P<0.01), and it could also affect the tendency of relapse through the mediation of depression( β=0.082, 95% CI=0.007-0.165) and the chain mediation of resilience and depression( β=0.029, 95% CI=0.002-0.064). Conclusion:The experience of childhood abuse leads to the decrease of resilience of strong abstinence personnel and increases the level of depression, which finally increases the tendency of relapse.

Objective:To evaluate the reliability and validity of Chinese version of Glasgow antipsychotics side-effect scale (GASS).Methods:Totally 200 patients diagnosed as schizophrenia following the criteria of DSM-IV were enrolled in the study.Cronbach’s α was used to investigate the internal consistency of GASS.Exploring factor analysis was used to examine the construct validity.Pearson correlation analysis between GASS and TESS and CGI sub-scale of side effect were conducted to evaluate the criterion validity.Based on clinical criteria, the sensitivity and specificity and ROC curve was calculated so as to establish the cut-off point of the scale and test discrimination validity.Results:For reliability, Cronbach’s α ws 0.926, indicating that GASS had a good internal consistency.Four main factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis which were extrapyramidal side effect factor, genitourinary side effect factor, anticholinergic side effect factor, over sedation and cardiovascular side effect factor.For validity, exploring analysis demonstrated that nineteen item of the scale has relatively higher factor load on the principal factor (0.531-0.972), suggesting that the scale had a good construct validity.The total score of the GASS was positively correlated with that of TESS and CGI subscale of side effects( r=0.90, P<0.05; r=0.87, P<0.05). The cut-off point of experimental validity of GASS for mild antipsychotics side effects was determined as ≥1.With this cut-off point, GASS had both high sensitivity (96.3%) and high specificity (70.7%), area under curve (AUC) were 0.78.The cut-off point of GASS for moderate antipsychotics side effects was determined as ≥20, with the sensitivity and specificity of GASS were 86.3% and 84.7%, AUC were 0.92.When the cut-off point of GASS for severe antipsychotics side effects was determined as ≥41, GASS had both high sensitivity (92.1 %) and high specificity (96.3 %), AUC were 0.96. Conclusion:GASS has good reliability and validity and can reflect the side effects of antipsychotics, and it can be adopted as a useful instrument to evaluate the severity of side effects of antipsychotics.
