Objective: High-risk psychosis before schizophrenia includes individuals at clinical high risk (CHR) and genetic high risk (GHR). Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR) gene variants have been identified as risk factors for schizophrenia onset and symptom severity, though the effects of these polymorphisms in high-risk individuals remain unexplored. This study investigated the impact of MTHFR polymorphisms on clinical features of high-risk psychosis. We hypothesized that MTHFR variants may influence the progression of high-risk psychosis before schizophrenia. Methods: A total of 163 individuals were enrolled, comprising 76 healthy controls, 31 GHR, and 56 CHR. MTHFR polymorphisms (C677T, A1298C, and G1793A) were detected. The MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery was administered to assess cognitive ability. Additional recorded clinical features included sex, age, family history, cognitive scores, and the Structured Interview for Psychosis Risk Syndromes (SIPS) scores. Results: Higher MTHFR polymorphism levels were observed in high-risk individuals at the C677T site (p=0.006) and in multi-site variant analysis (p=0.012) compared to controls. Stratified by sex, both males and females showed similar increases in MTHFR polymorphism. Cognitive ability scores decreased in the high-risk group with an increase in MTHFR variant allele amounts. In the CHR group, SIPS scores non-significantly increased with the number of variant alleles. Conclusion Increased MTHFR polymorphism was associated with the risk progression of schizophrenia, being more pronounced in males than in females. Higher amounts of hypofunctional MTHFR variants tended to decrease the cognitive ability in both high-risk and healthy subjects, while higher risk levels are observed in CHR subjects.

Objective:To explore the effect of group psychological counseling on the improvement of negative emotion and vision-related quality of life in patients with primary glaucoma during the perioperative period.Methods:A total of 96 patients who underwent primary glaucoma surgery in Ophthalmology Ward of Beijing Tongren Hospital were selected from June 2018 to December 2019 and they were divided into the intervention group ( n=48) and the control group ( n=48) by the random number table method. The control group was given routine care during the perioperative period of glaucoma, while the intervention group was given group psychological counseling on the basis of the control group. Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) , Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and self-made Vision-related Quality of Life Questionnaire were used to evaluate the patients. Results:The SAS score of the intervention group and the control group before intervention was respectively (56.79±1.86) and (56.77±1.92) , and the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05) . After the intervention, SAS score of the intervention group and the control group was respectively (41.31±3.37) and (47.45±2.05) , and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01) . The SDS score of the intervention group and the control group before intervention was respectively (66.97±3.27) and (66.64±2.43) , and the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05) . After the intervention, SDS score of the intervention group and the control group was respectively (44.91±2.04) and (52.52±1.86) , and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01) . The sleep quality and self-care ability in the intervention group were better than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Group psychological counseling can help to reduce negative emotions of patients, improve their sleep quality and self-care ability and improve their quality of life.

Livestock husbandry is vital to economy of the Tarim Basin, Xinjiang Autonomous Region, China. However, there have been few surveys of the distribution of ixodid ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) and tick-borne pathogens affecting domestic animals at these locations. In this study, 3,916 adult ixodid ticks infesting domestic animals were collected from 23 sampling sites during 2012-2016. Ticks were identified to species based on morphology, and the identification was confirmed based on mitochondrial 16S and 12S rRNA sequences. Ten tick species belonging to 4 genera were identified, including Rhipicephalus turanicus, Hyalomma anatolicum, Rh. bursa, H. asiaticum asiaticum, and Rh. sanguineus. DNA sequences of Rickettsia spp. (spotted fever group) and Anaplasma spp. were detected in these ticks. Phylogenetic analyses revealed possible existence of undescribed Babesia spp. and Borrelia spp. This study illustrates potential threat to domestic animals and humans from tick-borne pathogens.

Objective To detect the oxidative and anti-oxidative imbalance of Hashimoto′s thyroiditis (HT) with specific thyroid function through specific serum.Methods 41 patients with normal thyroid function of Hashimoto′s thyroiditis and 43 healthy controls were enrolled in our hospital from May 2016 to May2017.Through specific serum tests, such as derived active oxygen metabolism (d-ROM) and biological antioxidant potential (BAP), advanced glycation end products (AGE) and advanced oxidized protein products (AOPP) were used to assess oxidative stress.Results The levels of d-ROM and AGEs were significantly increased (P＜0.05) and BAP was significantly lower in both groups compared with HT patients (P＜0.001).In univariate analysis, serum TSH, TgAb and TPOAb were significantly associated with d-ROMs (P＜0.05).HDL-C, serum TSH, TgAb and TPOAb were significantly associated with BAP (P＜0.05).Total cholesterol and LDL-C were significantly associated with AGEs (P＜0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that serum TPOAb was a predictor of d-ROMs (P＜0.001), BAP (P＜0.001), and AGEs (P=0.003).In addition, HDLC was also an independent predictor of BAP levels (P=0.012, R2=2.354, 95％CI:1.191-5.433).While LDL-C was an independent predictor of AGEs (P =0.004, R2=1.102, 95％CI:0.915-1.253).Conclusion HT patients increased oxidant, antioxidants decreased.And AGEs were significantly higher, AGEs levels can be used as a new HT oxidative stress a reliable biomarker.
