BackgroundPatients with schizophrenia and depressive disorders exhibit abnormalities in perceptual processing. Previous perceptual studies are mainly based on asking participants to fill in a questionnaire, and little research has been undertaken on objective behavior in patients with schizophrenia and depressive disorders. ObjectiveTo explore the behavioral changes in vibrotactile sense among patients with schizophrenia and depressive disorders, so as to enrich relevant findings in objective behavioral research. MethodsFrom March 2021 to September 2023, 33 patients with schizophrenia and 31 patients with depressive disorders in the outpatient and inpatient departments of Beijing Huilongguan Hospital and met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition (DSM-5) diagnostic criteria were enrolled. And another 34 healthy controls were concurrently recruited at Beihang University and Beijing Huilongguan Hospital. Patients with schizophrenia were assessed using Positive and Negative Symptom Scale (PANSS), and patients with depressive disorders were assessed using Hamilton Depression Scale-17 item (HAMD-17). The vibrotactile sensitivity of the left hand in all participants was tested in a delay match-to-sample procedure, and the correct rate of vibrotactile delayed discrimination task was compared among the three groups. ResultsCompared with healthy controls, a reduction was found in the correct rates at index finger, middle finger and ring finger in patients with schizophrenia (P<0.01), the average correct rate at five fingers in patients with schizophrenia (P=0.001), and the correct rate at thumb in patients with depressive disorders (P=0.026). No statistical difference was reported in correct rate of vibrotactile delayed discrimination task between patients with depression disorders and schizophrenia (P>0.05). The average correct rate of vibrotactile sense in schizophrenia group was not significantly correlated with the duration of disease, age of onset, chlorpromazine equivalent doses and PANSS score (r=0.058、0.045、0.114、-0.194, P>0.05). The average correct rate in depressive group was negatively correlated with age of onset (r=-0.415, P=0.020), but not significantly correlated with the duration of disease and HAMD-17 score (r=-0.044, 0.142, P>0.05). ConclusionPatients with schizophrenia and depressive disorders have impaired vibrotactile sense. The vibrotactile sense is impaired in index, middle and ring fingers among patients with schizophrenia, and in thumbs of patients with depressive disorders. Moreover, the impairment in patients with depressive disorders may be related to the age of onset. [Funded by 2023 Hebei Provincial Graduate Innovation Funding Project (number, CXZZSS2023140)]

【Objective】 To investigate the correlation of the levels of interleukin-25 (IL-25) and interleukin-33 (IL-33) in cord blood with the development of infantile eczema within 42 days after birth, so as to provide theoretical support for the prevention of early infant eczema. 【Methods】 A total of 145 newborns who met the inclusion criteria and were born in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the Air Force Special Medical Center from September 2020 to September 2021 were selected. Cord venous blood was collected at birth and the levels of IL-25 and IL-33 in cord blood were measured. The occurrence and severity of infantile eczema were recorded in 42 days. 【Results】 Among 145 infants, 79(54.5%) suffered from eczema. The level of IL-25 in cord blood in eczema group was significantly lower than that in non-eczema group (Z=4.957, P<0.001), and the level of IL-33 in cord blood in eczema group was significantly higher than that in non-eczema group (Z=4.594, P<0.001). The proportion of family history of allergy in the eczema group was significantly higher than that in non-eczema group (χ2=4.693, P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that family history of allergy (OR=4.296), lower level of IL-25(<14.5pg/mL) (OR=4.034) and higher level of IL-33(>21.1pg/mL) (OR=2.759) in cord blood were risk factors for eczema (P<0.05), while birth weight was not associated with the onset of eczema in infants at 42 days (P>0.05). Meanwhile, the level of IL-33 in cord blood was related to the mode of delivery (P<0.05). ROC analysis showed that the optimized positive cutoff value was <14.0pg/mL for cord blood IL-25(sensitivity 62.0%, specificity 75.8%) and >22.1pg/mL for IL-33 (sensitivity 64.6%, specificity 69.7%). Spearman correlation test found that there was a linear correlation of the level of cord blood IL-33 with eczema area and severity index (EASI) score (r=0.398, P<0.01). 【Conclusion】 Family allergy history, lower level of cord blood IL-25 and higher level of cord blood IL-33 are important influencing factors of infant eczema in 42 days after birth, and higher level of cord blood IL-33 will aggravate the severity of early infantile eczema.

Objective:To carry out content analysis of clinical practice guideline recommendations related to physical activity in survivors of colorectal cancer at home and abroad so as to provide a reference for formulating a standardized and personalized physical activity plan for survivors of colorectal cancer.Methods:Clinical practice guidelines related to physical activity in survivors of colorectal cancer were retrieved in Chinese-English databases, guideline websites and professional society websites by computer from 1st, January 2009 to 1st, July 2019. Guideline recommendations were extracted, translated, classified and analyzed on content with the method of content analysis.Results:A total of 7 clinical practice guidelines were included and 26 recommendations on physical activity of survivors of colorectal cancer were extracted. A total of 8-item content on physical activity were analyzed including the safety and benefits of physical activity, assessment before physical activity, amount of physical activity, way of physical activity, intensity, frequency and duration of physical activity, attention of physical activity, contraindications of physical activity and incremental strategy of physical activity.Conclusions:There are many recommendations on the way, amount, frequency, intensity and attention of physical activity. There are inconsistencies between recommendation mentioned frequency and clinical importance, and consistencies between partial recommendations and domestic practice content, and the recom mendations are more diversified than domestic practice content. We should carry out localization for the high level of foreign guideline to explore the evidences suitable for physical activity in survivors of colorectal cancer in China.

The elderly group is a special group of people. More and more studies have found that the related diseases of the elderly may be closely related to the age of intestine. The microbiota in the intestinal microecology participates in body's defense, immunity, nutrition, metabolism, cancer suppression as well as anti-aging. Once age-related diseases occur, the stability and abundance of intestinal microbiota is bound to be disturbed. This article reviews the relationship between intestinal microbiota and age-related diseases so as to provide new ideas and directions for the treatment and nursing care of elderly diseases.
