8.Progress in non-pharmacological interventions for weight gain in schizophrenia
Journal of Shanghai Jiaotong University(Medical Science) 2024;44(5):635-640
Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder that often co-occurs with weight gain issues,which impacts medication adherence and symptom recovery in patients,and increases the risk of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases.However,the specific mechanism of weight gain in the patients with schizophrenia remains incompletely understood.Potential factors include increased appetite and abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism due to the effects of antipsychotic drugs on multiple neurotransmitter receptors,shared pathogenesis between schizophrenia and obesity,and unhealthy dietary preferences and lifestyles among the patients with schizophrenia.In recent years,the progress in non-pharmacological interventions in the treatment of weight gain in schizophrenia has been continuously updated,which mainly includes lifestyle interventions,bariatric surgery and neuromodulation technology.Lifestyle interventions include diet,exercises and cognition,and the effectiveness of comprehensive lifestyle intervention models and compliance of patients have become the mainstream of research.Bariatric surgery has a weight loss effect on obese patients with schizophrenia who meet the surgical indications,but the total number of reported cases is still small,and further exploration of perioperative symptom management is needed.In neuromodulation technologies,repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS)appears to be promising in the treatment of weight gain in the patients with schizophrenia.The aim of this article is to provide more diversified clinical strategies for the treatment of weight gain in schizophrenia.

Objective:To investigate the expression of stanniocalcin-2 (STC-2) and cellular-mesenchymal epithelial transition factor (C-met) in tumor tissues of cervical cancer patients and their clinical significance.Methods:A total of 110 cervical cancer patients were selected in Foshan First People′s Hospital from January 2014 to December 2018. Patients′ cancer tissue samples and normal tissue samples were collected during modified radical resection to determine and compare the expression levels of STC-2 mRNA and C-met mRNA in the two tissues, and to analyze the correlation between the expression levels of STC-2, C-met and the clinicopathological characteristics of the patients as well as the multivariate analysis of tumor metastasis and recurrence in the patients. The correlation between the expression of STC-2 and C-met and the time of postoperative tumor metastasis and recurrence in cervical cancer patients were analyzed after 24 months of follow-up.Results:The expression levels of C-met mRNA and STC-2 mRNA in cancer tissues were higher than those in adjacent normal tissues: 4.51 ± 1.21 vs. 3.97 ± 1.14, 2.57 ± 0.21 vs. 2.12 ± 0.24, there were statistical differences ( t = 3.41, 14.80, P<0.05). The expression of STC-2 and C-met in cancer tissues had no significant difference with age, pathological type, federation international of gynecology and obstetrics (FIGO) stage and tumor size ( P>0.05), but had significant difference with tumor recurrence or metastasis ( P<0.05). The results of Logistic multivariate analysis showed that vascular emboli, lymph node metastasis, TNM stage, depth of tumor invasion, C-met expression and STC-2 expression were independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of cervical cancer patients ( P<0.05). The expression of STC-2 and C-met were negatively correlated with the time of tumor metastasis in patients with cervical cancer ( r = - 0.663, P<0.001; r = - 0.747, P<0.001). Conclusions:The expression levels of STC-2 and C-met in cancer tissues of cervical cancer patients are higher than those in adjacent normal tissues, and the expression levels of STC-2 and C-met are negatively correlated with the time of metastasis. The expression of C-met, the expression of STC-2, vascular emboli, lymph node metastasis, TNM stage, and the depth of tumor invasion are all independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of cervical cancer patients.
