ObjectiveTo investigate the social support status and influencing factors of schizophrenics in remission in Northeast Sichuan, and to provide ideas for improving their social support. MethodsFrom May to September 2020, a total of 533 patients who met the diagnosis criteria of the International Classification of Diseases, tenth edition (ICD-10) for schizophrenics in remission at the mental health institutions in Guangyuan, Bazhong and Dazhou cities were selected for the survey, and patients were assessed by self-made demographic and clinical data inventory and Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS). Then the social support status of schizophrenic in remission and influencing factors were analyzed, meantime, the impact of the second round reimbursement policy of medical insurance benefits on their social support was addressed particularly. Results①The SSRS total score, objective support, subjective support, and utilization of support scores of schizophrenics in remission were lower than those of the national norm (t=5.065~30.382, P<0.01). ②Univariate analysis showed that SSRS score was relatively high among patients with female gender (t=-3.632), retired status (F=5.951), married status (F=5.951), spouse as primary caregiver (F=23.841), annual household income >5 000 yuan (F=15.892), patient's economic income (t=4.083), and outpatient or online follow-up (F=3.954), with statistically significant differences (P<0.05 or 0.01). ③The total and dimensional scores of SSRS in patients with access to the second round medical insurance reimbursement were significantly higher than those without (t=10.195~25.103, P<0.01). ④Multiple linear regression analysis denoted that gender, work status, marital status, primary caregivers, annual family income, economic income, follow-up visits and the second round medical insurance reimbursement were the factors influencing social support status of schizophrenics in remission (β=0.201~2.115, P<0.05 or 0.01). ConclusionThe social support of schizophrenics in remission in Northeast Sichuan is below the national average, furthermore, their social support levels are affected by the gender, work status, marital status, primary caregivers, annual family income, economic income, follow-up visits and the second round medical insurance reimbursement, and the second round medical insurance reimbursement may ameliorate the social support status of patients.

【Objective】 To analyze and mine the prescription rules of traditional Chinese medicine enema treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in CNKI platform journals based on data mining and network pharmacology so as to find high-frequency core Chinese medicines and predict the potential targets of core Chinese medicines and explore the mechanism of action of core Chinese medicines in the treatment of CKD. 【Methods】 Taking CNKI as the data source, we retrieved the clinical literature of traditional Chinese medicine enema in the treatment of CKD. SPSS modeler 18.0 statistical software was used for statistical processing and association rule analysis. IBM SPSS statistics 21 statistical software was used for cluster analysis. BATMAN-TCM and TCMSP were used to retrieve the effective components and related targets of drugs. Genecards, OMIN, Drugbank, DisGenet, TTD, and PharmGkb databases were used to retrieve disease-related targets, and Venny platform was used to screen disease and drug intersection targets. We used STRING database to obtain relevant documents, Cytoscape 3.8.2 software for visual analysis, Metascape database for enrichment analysis, Wechat website to draw bubble diagram, and AutoDockTools-1.5.6 software for molecular docking prediction. 【Results】 We selected 276 effective prescriptions involving 120 traditional Chinese medicines. The frequency of 19 traditional Chinese medicines was more than 10. Totally 18 core drug combinations were obtained. Cluster analysis could be divided into four categories. The visual net-work analysis shows that “rhubarb, dandelion, oyster, Salvia miltiorrhiza and aconite” are highly correlated and occupy the core position. Through the prediction of the potential targets of five core drugs, 659 “drug disease” intersection targets and 173 core targets were obtained, of which “MAPK1, AKT1 and STAT3” are the key targets, “progesterone, neocryptotanshinone Ⅱ and emodin”. It is predicted that it may play a role in “PI3K Akt signal pathway, MAPK signal pathway, JAK-STAT signal pathway”. Molecular docking showed that the key components have good binding activity with key targets. 【Conclusion】 Based on data mining and network pharmacology, traditional Chinese medicine enema treatment of CKD mainly uses rhubarb as the main drug, assisting warming yang to remove blood stasis and turbidity relief drugs. The key components of its core drug can act on PI3K-Akt by regulating key targets such as PIK3R1. Signal pathways and other pathways play a role in providing new ideas for the treatment of this disease with traditional Chinese medicine enema, medication strategies for clinical prescriptions, and a basis for follow-up further research.

Endocrinology and Metabolism 2021;36(4):778-789
Background:
Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is the most common thyroid dysfunction, and its relationship with blood pressure (BP) has been controversial. The aim of the study was to analyze the association between SCH and newly-diagnosed hypertension.
Methods:
Based on data from the Thyroid disease, Iodine nutrition and Diabetes Epidemiology (TIDE) study, 49,433 euthyroid individuals and 7,719 SCH patients aged ≥18 years were enrolled. Patients with a history of hypertension or thyroid disease were excluded. SCH was determined by manufacturer reference range. Overall hypertension and stage 1 and 2 hypertension were diagnosed according to the guidelines issued by the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association in 2017.
Results:
The prevalence of overall hypertension (48.7%), including stage 1 (28.9%) and 2 (19.8%) hypertension, increased significantly in SCH patients compared with euthyroid subjects. With elevated serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level, the hypertension prevalence also increased significantly from the euthyroid to different SCH subgroups, which was more profound in females or subjects aged <65 years. The age- and sex-specific regression analysis further demonstrated the same trends in the general population and in the 1:1 propensity matched population. Similarly, several BP components (i.e., systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial BP) were positively associated with TSH elevation, and regression analysis also confirmed that all BP components were closely related with SCH in female subjects aged <65 years.
Conclusion
The prevalence of hypertension increases for patients with SCH. SCH tends to be associated with hypertension and BP components in females younger than 65 years.
