Objective:
To compare the effectiveness of blonanserin and olanzapine in the treatment of first-episode schizophrenia, so as to provide the basis for the medication choice for the treatment of first-episode schizophrenia.
Methods:
A total of 98 patients with first-episode schizophrenia admitted to the Second People's Hospital of Taizhou City were selected and randomly divided into the olanzapine group and the blonanserin group for a treatment period of two months. The Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB) were used to investigate the improvement of symptoms, sleep quality and cognitive function before and after treatment, respectively, and the level of prolactin was detected. The generalized estimation equation was used to compare the differences between the two groups. The adverse reactions of the two groups were recorded and the safety of medication was evaluated.
Results:
Forty-nine patients each group were included, with 29 males and a mean age of (37.22±7.17) years in the olanzapine group, and 27 males and a mean age of (37.54±7.31) years in the blonanserin group. There were no significant differences in gender, age, disease course and educational duration between the two groups (all P>0.05). The scores of positive symptom, negative symptom, general psychopathology and overall PANSS in the two groups after treatment were decreased compared with those before (all P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference between the two groups, and no interaction between the drugs and treatment duration (all P>0.05). The MCCB score of the blonanserin group was higher than that of the olanzapine group, while the PSQI score and the prolactin level of the blonanserin group were lower than that of the olanzapine group, and there was an interaction between the drugs and treatment duration (all P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the blonanserin group was 6.12%, which was lower than that in the olanzapine group of 20.41% (P<0.05).
Conclusion
Either blonanserin or olanzapine can improve psychotic symptoms inpatients with first-episode schizophrenia, while blonanserin is more effective than olanzapine in improving sleep quality, cognitive function and reducing prolactin level, and has higher safety.

Objective The objective of this study was to analyze the 2021 global burden of disease database assessment of deaths and disability-adjusted life year(DALY)attributed to alcohol exposure induced malignant tumors in China,providing a scientif-ic basis for the prevention and control of alcohol exposure-related malignancies in China.Methods The 2021 global burden of dis-ease database were retrieved,analyzed the number of deaths and mortality,DALYs,and DALY rates for malignant tumors in China,and analyzed the mortality and DALY situations attributed to alcohol exposure for different gender and types of tumors.Results In 2021,the number of cancer-related deaths in China was 2.8178 million,accounting for 28.50%of the global total cancer deaths(2.8178 million vs.9.8884 million).The DALYs of malignant tumors in China were 2.8209 million person-year,accounting for 30.20%of the global DALY of malignant tumors(2.8209 million person-year vs.9.3407 million person-year).The mortality of malignant tumors attributed to alcohol exposure in males(12.80/100,000 vs.1.37/100,000)and DALY rate(354.08/100,000 vs.34.96/100,000)were higher than those in females.From the perspective of age distribution,the mortality of malignant tumors caused by alco-hol exposure increased with age,and the DALY rate reached its peak in the 70-year-old age group and then decreased again.The top three tumors with the highest disease burden caused by alcohol exposure were esophageal cancer,liver cancer,and colorectal cancer.Conclusion Alcohol exposure in China leads to a heavier burden of malignant tumor mortality and DALY,with higher in male malig-nant tumor mortality than that in females.Alcohol exposure mainly causes gastrointestinal tumors.The prevention and treatment of male gastrointestinal tumors should focus on alcohol exposure.
