Objective:To evaluate direct and indirect costs for schizophrenia,major depressive disorder(MDD)and bipolar disorder,and to compare their differences of cost composition,and to explore the drivers of the total costs.Methods:A total of 3 175 inpatients with schizophrenia,MDD,and bipolar disorder were recruited.In-patient's self-report total direct of medical costs outpatient and inpatient,out-of-pocket costs,and direct non-medical costs were regarded as direct costs.Productivity loss and other loss caused by damaging properties were defined as indirect costs.The perspectives of this study included individual and societal levels.Multivariate regression analysis was applied for detecting the factors influencing disease costs.Results:The total cost of schizophrenia was higher than those of MDD and bipolar disorder at individual and societal levels.The indirect costs of three mental disorders were higher than the direct costs,and the indirect cost ratio of bipolar disorder was higher than those of schizophre-nia and MDD.Age,gender,working condition and marital status(P＜0.05)were the important drivers of total costs.Conclusion:The economic burden of the three mental disorders is relatively heavy.Schizophrenia has heaviest disease burden,and the productivity loss due to mental disorders is the driving force of the soaring disease cost

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and related socio-demographic factors of schizo-phrenia patients with different ages of onset.Methods:Totally 2 016 patients with schizophrenia aged 15 to 70 were selected according to the diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,Fifth Edition.All of the patients were interviewed by psychiatrists using the Mini International Neuropsy-chiatric Interview to diagnose schizophrenia,Clinical-Rated Dimensions of Psychosis Symptom Severity(CRDPSS)and the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale(PANSS)to assess symptoms.The cut-off points were 18 and 25 years old for three age groups,i.e.early onset(EOS),youth onset(YOS)and adult onset(AOS).Statistical analy-ses were performed by analysis of variance Pearson correlation analysis,and multivariate linear regression.Results:The early-onset patients had the highest total PANSS score(73.8±28.0)and CRDPSS score(11.7±5.4).Fe-male gender,high education level,Han ethnicity,early onset age,and slower onset of illness were negatively corre-lated with the total and dimension score of PANSS scale and CRDPSS scale(standardized regression coefficient:0.04-0.47),and income level and smoking were negatively correlated with those score(standardized regression coefficient:-0.04--0.14).Conclusion:Early-onset schizophrenia patients have more severe symptoms,and fe-male,high education level,early-onset disease,and chronic onset are the risk factors of symptom severity in patients with schizophrenia.

Objective:To describe demographic,clinical and physiological characteristics,treatment between first-episode major depressive disorder(MDD)and relapse MDD,and to explore characteristics of relapse MDD.Methods:Totally 858 patients who met the diagnostic criteria for depression of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,Fifth Edition(DSM-5),were included by using the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview(MINI),Clinician-Rated Dimensions of Psychosis Symptom Severity,and Hamilton Depression Scale etc.Among them,529(58.6％)were first-episode depression and 329(36.0％)were relapsed.The differences of demographic characteristics,clinical and physiological characteristics,treatment were compared byx2test and Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test.Multivariate logistic regression was used to explore the characteristics of MDD recur-rence.Results:Compared to first-episode MDD,relapse MDD had more comorbidity(OR=2.11,95％CI:1.00-4.44),more days out of role(OR=1.26,95％CI:1.01-1.56),more history of using psychiatric drug more than one month(OR=1.41,95％CI:1.02-1.97)and electroconvulsive therapy(OR=3.23,95％CI:1.42-7.36),and higher waist-hip ratio(OR=33.88,95％CI:2.88-399.32).Conclusion:Relapse MDD has positive as-sociation with comorbidity of mental disorders,out of role,and higher waist-hip ratio.

Objective To assess the effects of temperature and rainfall on the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (CVD) in Guiyang. Methods Using daily CVD incidence data and temperature and rainfall data in Guiyang City from September 2021 to August 2022, a distributed lag non-linear model was used to explore the nonlinear relationship between meteorological and environmental factors and CVD incidence. Results The risk of CVD was higher under cold (average, minimum, and maximum temperatures <2.1 ℃, 1.6 ℃, and 4.2 ℃, respectively) and hot (maximum temperature>32.5 ℃) effects, and the cumulative lag effect reached its maximum at 10 and 17 days, respectively. The risk of CVD increased sharply when there was a small diurnal temperature (<6.9 ℃), sudden drop in temperature (over 6.1 ℃), and heating (over 2.4 ℃ in 24 hours). The incidence risk of CVD was high when the daily rainfall exceeded 21.5 mm and the continuous rainy days exceed 5.7 days. The risk in rainstorm was 0.81 higher than that in heavy rain. Continuous absence of rain helped to prevent CVD patients from developing symptoms. Conclusion Meteorological environments such as hot and cold weather, dramatic change in temperature, significant rainfall and continuous rainfall have an impact on the incidence of CVD. It is necessary to consider the changes of the meteorological environment during the prevention and control of CVD.

Objective:To explore the effects of applying peer-assisted learning (PAL) combined with modular teaching in physiology education, and to explore a more suitable mode for physiology teaching and learning.Methods:We selected a total of 89 undergraduate medical students of grade 2022 from a university offering physiology courses from February 28 to June 30, 2022. They were assigned using a random number table into experimental class (44 students) and control class (45 students). The experimental class adopted PAL with modular teaching, while the control class adopted the online and offline hybrid teaching method. The two classes were compared for teaching effects in terms of the completion rate of task points, final assessment scores, and questionnaire results. SPSS 19.0 was used to perform the independent samples t-test and the chi-square test. Results:The final exam scores for the objective questions of the experimental class and the control class were (43.04±3.25) and (40.24±8.64), respectively; the scores for the subjective items were (44.49±2.80) and (39.21±5.71), respectively; and the total scores were (87.53±4.24) and (79.40±12.08), respectively, all with significant differences between the two classes. There were significant differences in students' learning autonomy, micro-video preview rate, problem discussion participation rate, unit self-test participation rate, and after-class homework completion rate. The questionnaire survey showed that students in the experimental class believed that this teaching model was helpful for improving students' comprehensive qualities.Conclusions:PAL combined with modular teaching can effectively improve physiology teaching effects and students' learning autonomy and comprehensive abilities.

Objective:To study the influence of the severity of diabetic retinopathy (DR) on the visual function of patients with type 2 diabetes, to provide scientific basis for the early prevention and control of DR.Methods:This study was designed as a cross-sectional study, recruiting already-diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients in four community health service centers in Guizhou Province between February and September 2022. Employing the Chinese version of the Visual Function Index-14 (VF-14), assess the participants′ near vision, visual adaptation, subjective visual perception, and stereo vision, with higher scores indicating poorer visual function. Categorize the severity of each eye′s damage into no diabetic retinopathy (DR), mild non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR), moderate NPDR, severe NPDR, and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), and use a 5-level DR grading system to evaluate the overall severity of diabetic retinopathy in both eyes. Employing linear regression analysis to investigate the linear relationship between DR and visual function index. Local weighted regression evaluates the nonlinear relationship between the DR composite score and the scores of visual function, with a steeper slope indicating poorer visual function for that level.Results:A total of 542 patients with type 2 diabetes were investigated, including 244 (45.02%) males, 298 (54.98%) females, and 162 (29.89%) patients with DR. After adjusting for confounders, compared with those without DR, patients with binocular DR Had overall scores ( β=0.136, P=0.003), near vision ( β=0.163, P<0.001), visual adaptation ( β=0.092, P=0.042), subjective vision ( β=0.120, P=0.009) and stereo vision ( β=0.094, P=0.044) were higher than those without DR. There were no differences in visual functions between DR And monocular DR. The local weighted regression curve showed that near vision (slope: 23.78) and overall score (slope: 58.37) increased sharply from mild to moderate NPDR in both eyes. Visual adaptation (slope: 5.37, 7.72), subjective vision (slope: 6.53, 7.93), stereovision (slope: 0.74, 0.91) increased slowly in mild to moderate NPDR in both eyes and in moderate to severe NPDR/PDR in both eyes. Conclusion:Binocular DR is associated with impaired visual function, but there is no difference between monocular DR And non-DR visual function. The early damage of DR To visual function is mainly manifested in near vision. In the prevention and control of DR, more attention should be paid to visual function, especially the change of near vision, and retinal damage should not be assessed solely by visual status.

Objective:To explore the effect of knee arthroscopic operation training simulation system in clinical teaching of traditional Chinese medicine osteomatology resident doctor standardized training students.Methods:A total of 40 trainees were selected in Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Tianjin University of Chinese Medicine from January 2023 to September 2023. The trainees were divided into an experimental group and a control group according to the random number table method, with 20 in each group. Trainees in the control group was taught by presentations and video demonstrations. Trainees in the experimental group was taught by knee arthroscopic operation training simulation system. Trainees in each group were taught by a same teacher for a total of 2 weeks, with 2 class hours per week. After the teaching, the results of the assessment of theoretical knowledge, the results of the questionnaire survey on the mastery of teaching content and the results of the questionnaire survey on the evaluation of teaching methods were recorded. Then compared the results between the two groups.Results:Compared with the control group, there was no significant difference in the initial theoretical assessment scores between the two groups ( P > 0.05). The improvement rate of the test group was higher than that of the control group, with statistical significance ( P < 0.05). In terms of the mastery of teaching content, the experimental group was higher than the control group in three aspects: whether the teaching method was beneficial to the study of knee anatomy, imaging and surgical procedure, the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05); whether the teaching method was beneficial to the study of the selection of surgical indications, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups ( P > 0.05). In the evaluation of teaching methods, there was no significant difference in the scores of teaching participation between the two groups ( P > 0.05), and the scores of the experimental group in six aspects of teaching interest, teaching effectiveness, teaching understanding, learning initiative, teaching course evaluation and course satisfaction were higher than those of the control group, with statistical significance ( P < 0.05). Conclusions:The application of knee arthroscopic operation training simulation operating system can significantly improve the theoretical achievements of traditional Chinese medicine bone injury training students, which is beneficial to master clinical teaching content and improve clinical teaching satisfaction.

Objective:To provide references for the application of finite element model in the study of cervical vertebra by statistically analysing the frequency, numerical value, properties, and boundary setting of the finite element model and the corresponding material features as well as boundary settings in the literature.Methods:The literature on cervical vertebra-related finite element models was collected from CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase databases from January 2013 to December 2023. The quality assessment was followed by manual screening. The data sources, application classification, material properties (Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio), and boundary conditions of cervical vertebra, cervical intervertebral, and cervical ligaments were statistically analyzed.Results:A total of 102 papers were included. The finite element models of the cervical vertebra were derived from medical image reconstruction modeling techniques, predominantly CT plain scan and magnetic resonance imaging. Among the 102 cervical vertebra models, the C3-C7 (lower cervical segment) model appeared with the highest frequency (19). The Young’s modulus of the cortical bone, cancellous bone, and posterior structure of cervical vertebrae were set at about 12 000 or 10 000, 440, and 3 600 MPa, respectively, and the Poisson’s ratios were mainly set at about 0.29 or 0.30, 0.29, and 0.29. The Young’s modulus of the cervical intervertebral disc endplate, nucleus pulposus, and annulus fibrosus were concentrated around 500 or 2 000, 1, and 100 MPa, respectively, and the Poisson’s ratios were set at about 0.40, 0.50, and 0.40, respectively. The Young’s modulus of the anterior longitudinal ligament, posterior longitudinal ligament, transverse ligament, ligamentum flavum, interspinous ligament, capsular ligament, and articular cartilage of the cervical spine were set around 30, 20, 20, 6-10, 4-8, 10 or 20, 10 MPa, and the Poisson’s ratios were set at aoubt 0.30, 0.30, 0.30, 0.30, 0.30, 0.40, and 0.30, respectively. The Young’s modulus of the upper cervical interdental ligament, lamina, cruciate ligament, nuchal ligament, and pterygoid ligament were set at about 10, 10, 10 or 20, 20, and 5 MPa, respectively, and the Poisson’s ratios were set at about 0.30. Head weight settings were more common at 50, 74, and 100 N.Conclusions:The finite element model of the cervical vertebra has great value in the study of cervical spondylosis, but further optimization is still needed in the assignment of material properties, mesh division, and model verification to improve the accuracy and clinical applicability of the model.

Objective To explore the effects of motor acupuncture based on movement pattern adjustment theory on Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), modified Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score and the prognosis in patients with non-specific low back pain (NLBP). Methods A total of 98 patients with NLBP who were admitted to the hospital from March 2020 to March 2023 were randomly divided into control group and observation group, with 49 patients in each group. The control group received lumbar and pelvic rhythm training, while the observation group received motor acupuncture based on movement pattern adjustment theory. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score, ODI score, JOA score, low back electromyographic signals[the ratio of maximum EMG during extension to maximum EMG during maximum voluntary flexion (EXT/MVF) and the ratio of maximum EMG during flexion to maximum EMG during maximum voluntary flexion (FLEX/MVF)], and serum inflammatory factors[interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α] in both groups were observed before and after treatment. Clinical efficacy and 3-month recurrence rate were compared between the two groups. Results After 2 weeks of treatment, VAS score and ODI score of the observation group were lower than those of the control group, and JOA score was higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). EXT/MVF and FLEX/MVF of the erector spinae and multifidus muscle in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Serum IL-6, IL-1 β and TNF-α levels two weeks after treatment in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P < 0.05). The effective rate of the observation group was higher, and 3-month recurrence rate of the observation group was lower than that of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Motor acupuncture based on movement pattern adjustment theory can achieve significant therapeutic effect in treating NLBP, which can effectively alleviate pain, improve lumbar function, and reduce inflammatory reactions, with good prognosis and a low recurrence rate.
