RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Cue exposure therapy is used to treat alcohol dependence. However, its effectiveness is controversial due to the limitations of the clinical treatment setting. Virtual reality technology may improve the therapeutic effect. The aim of this study is to explore whether virtual reality-based cue exposure therapy can reduce the psychological craving and physiological responses of patients with alcohol dependence. METHODS: Forty-four male alcohol-dependent patients were recruited and divided into the study group (n = 23) and the control group (n = 21) according to a random number table. The control group received only conventional clinical treatment for alcohol dependence. The study group received conventional clinical treatment with the addition of VR cue exposure (treatment). The primary outcome was to assess psychological craving and physiological responses to cues of patients before and after treatment. RESULTS: After virtual reality-based cue exposure therapy, the changes in VAS and heart rate before and after cue exposure in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05), while the changes in skin conductance and respiration between the study group and the control group were not significantly different (P > 0.05). The changes in VAS and heart rate before and after cue exposure in the study group were significantly lower than those before treatment (P < 0.05), while the changes in skin conductance and respiration were not significantly different from those before treatment (P > 0.05). The changes in VAS, heart rate, skin conductance and respiration before and after cue exposure in the control group were not significantly different from those before treatment (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Virtual reality-based cue exposure therapy can reduce the psychological craving and part of the physiological responses of alcohol-dependent patients during cue exposure in the short term and may be helpful in the treatment of alcohol dependence. TRIAL REGISTRATION: The study protocol was registered at the China Clinical Trial Registry on 26/02/2021 ( www.chictr.org.cn ; ChiCTR ID: ChiCTR2100043680).

RESUMO

Increasing evidence reveals that delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide poisoning (DEACMP) results from the combined effects of environmental and genetic factors. The main pathological feature of DEACMP was generalized demyelination of cerebral white matter. Myelin basic protein (MBP) levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum samples from DEACMP patients were elevated. This study investigated the association of MBP single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs) (rs470555, rs470724, rs4890785, rs595997, rs76452994, and rs921336) with DEACMP. We genotyped 416 DEACMP patients and 785 age, educational level, and sex-matched ACMP patients for rs470555, rs470724, rs4890785, rs595997, rs76452994, and rs921336 SNPs using the Agena MassArray. There were no significant differences in the allele frequency distribution, four genetic models, and genotype distributions between the DEACMP and ACMP groups for rs470555, rs470724, rs4890785, and rs595997. However, significant differences were observed for rs76452994 and rs921336. This study revealed that the MBP polymorphisms, rs470555, rs470724, rs4890785, and rs595997, were not associated with DEACMP. Based on the codominant, dominant, and overdominant genetic inheritability patterns, the MBP rs76452994 and rs921366 polymorphisms were associated with DEACMP. Furthermore, the G allele of rs76452994 and T allele of rs921336 could lead to higher DEACMP risk.

RESUMO

An advanced optical design for a low f-number, high resolution, astigmatism-free, and broadband Czerny-Turner spectrometer is proposed. A hemispherical lens is added between the entrance slit and collimating mirror, which can correct astigmatism and increase numerical aperture at the same time. The theory and method for the aberration correction are analyzed in detail. An example of a design with the f-number as 3 working in 350-750 nm has been presented by the optimized theory. The comparison of the improved Czerny-Turner spectrometer with the conventional Czerny-Turner spectrometer is also thoroughly described in the paper. The ray-tracing results show that the RMS spot radius of the improved Czerny-Turner spectrometer decreases from over 200 µm to less than 18 µm compared with the traditional Czerny-Turner spectrometer.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between cadherin gene single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the risk of delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide poisoning (DEACMP). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 416 patients with DEACMP and 754 patients with acute carbon monoxide poisoning (ACMP) were recruited. We used the Sequenom MassARRAY® system to detect cadherin gene SNPs related to DEACMP. Using different genetic analysis models, we evaluated the relationship between the cadherin gene polymorphisms and risk of DEACMP. RESULTS: We found that rs1944294 in the N-cadherin (CDH2) gene showed significant differences in genotype frequencies between the two groups under codominant and dominant inheritance models. Similarly, rs2513796 in the cadherin-17 (CDH17) gene showed significant differences under the codominant, dominant, and overdominant genetic models. And the T allele frequency of rs1944294 in the DEACMP group was significantly higher than that in the ACMP group (P = 0.023). CONCLUSIONS: Cadherin gene SNPs (rs1944294, rs2513796) are associated with an increased risk of DEACMP in the Chinese population.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between neuron-specific enolase (NSE) gene polymorphism and delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide poisoning (DEACMP) and provide a theoretical basis for DEACMP pathogenesis, diagnosis, and prognosis. METHODS: To investigate this relationship, we screened 6 NSE single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), based on the results of the previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS). A total of 1,201 patients, including 416 in the DEACMP group and 785 in the acute carbon monoxide poisoning (ACMP) group, were detected by the Sequenom MassARRAY® method. The genotype frequencies and alleles of the 6 NSE SNPs (rs2071074, rs2071417, rs2071419, rs11064464, rs11064465, and rs3213434) were compared using different genetic models. RESULTS: In the SNPs rs2071419 and rs3213434, we found that the genotypes and allele frequencies in the two groups significantly correlated with the grouping of patients (χ 2 = 6.596, p = 0.037; χ 2 = 8.769, p = 0.012). The haplotypes GGTTTC and CCTTTC of ACMP and DEACMP were different (χ 2 = 6.563, p = 0.010; χ 2 = 4.151, p = 0.042). We also observed that rs2071419 and rs3213434 significantly correlated with DEACMP-increased risk in the dominant, codominant, and overdominant genetic models. In addition, we speculated that the C allele of the rs2071419 polymorphism and the T allele of the rs3213434 polymorphism in NSE may increase the DEACMP risk (p = 0.011, p = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS: The results show that rs2071419 and rs3213434 are susceptible sites of DEACMP. The NSE C allele of rs2071419 and T allele of rs3213434 and the haplotypes GGTTTC and CCTTTC may be risk factors for DEACMP.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: We explored the association of leucine-rich repeats and calponin homology domain containing 1 (LRCH1) gene polymorphisms with genetic susceptibility to delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide poisoning (DEACMP), which might provide a theoretical basis for the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and prognosis research of DEACMP. METHODS: Four single nucleotide polymorphisms, rs1539177 (G/A), rs17068697 (G/A), rs9534475 (A/C), and rs2236592 (T/C), of LRCH1, selected as candidate genes through genome-wide association analysis, were genotyped in 661 patients (DEACMP group: 235 cases; ACMP group: 426 cases) using Sequenom Massarray®. The association analysis of four SNPs and LRCH1 was performed under different genetic models. RESULTS: LRCH1 polymorphisms (rs1539177, rs17068697, rs9534475) under additive and dominant genetic models were significantly associated with an increased risk of DEACMP, but no significant association under allele and recessive models was found. The LRCH1 rs2236592 polymorphism was susceptible to DEACMP only under the dominant model (TT/TC + CC, OR = 1.616, 95% CI: 1.092-2.390, P = 0.015784). In addition, the A allele gene of rs9534475 polymorphism in LRCH1 might increase the risk for DEACMP (OR = 1.273, 95% CI: 1.013-1.601, P = 0.038445). CONCLUSIONS: We found a significant association between the four LRCH1 polymorphisms and DEACMP. The allelic A of rs9534475 polymorphism in LRCH1 might be a risk factor for DEACMP.

RESUMO

Delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide poisoning (DEACMP) is more characteristic of anoxic encephalopathy than of other types of anoxia. Those who have the same poisoning degree and are of similar age and gender have a greater risk of getting DEACMP. This has made it clear that there are obvious personal differences. Genetic factors may play a very important role. The authors performed a genome-wide association study involving pooling of DNA obtained from 175 patients and 244 matched acute carbon monoxide poisoning without delayed encephalopathy controls. The Illumina HumanHap 660 Chip array was used for DNA pools. Allele frequencies of all SNPs were compared between delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide poisoning and control groups and ranked. A total of 123 SNPs gave an OR >1.4. Of these, 46 mapped in or close to known genes. Forty-eight SNPs located in 19 genes were associated with DEACMP after correction for 5% FDR in the genome-wide association of pooled DNA. Two SNPs (rs11845632 and rs2196447) locate in the Neurexin 3 gene were selected for individual genotyping in all samples and another cohort consisted of 234 and 271 controls. There were significant differences in the genotype and allele frequencies of rs11845632 and rs2196447 between the DEACMP group and controls group (all P-values <0.05). This study describes a positive association between Neurexin 3 and controls in the Han Chinese population, and provides genetic evidence to support the susceptibility of DEACMP, which may be the resulting interaction of environmental and genetic factors.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Delayed neuropsychological sequelae (DNS) are the most severe and clinically intractable complications following acute carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Symptoms of DNS often resemble those of Parkinson's disease (PD), suggesting shared neurological deficits. Furthermore, Parkinson protein 2 (PARK2) mutations are associated with PD and other neurodegenerative diseases. The association signal was detected between PARK2 and DNS after acute CO poisoning in our DNA pooling base genome-wide association study. METHODS: Two PARK2 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs1784594 (C/T allele) and rs1893895 (G/A allele), selected from DNA pooling base genome-wide association study, were genotyped by in 514 CO poisoning patients using polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphisms (PCR-RFLPs). The patient group consisted of 231 patients with DNS and 283 patients with no signs of lasting neurological damage (control population). RESULTS: The frequency of the rs1784594 T allele was significantly lower in the DNS population (OR = 1.42, 95%CI: 1.08 - 1.87), as was the TT vs. CC genotype (OR = 1.95, 95%CI: 1.15 - 3.23) and the TT vs. CT + CC frequency (OR = 1.68, 95%CI: 1.32 - 2.49) compared to controls. Association analysis revealed a significant association between DNS and rs1784594 (P < 0.01) but not rs1893895 (P > 0.05). In female cases, the T allele frequency of rs1784594 was significantly lower in DNS patients compared to female controls (OR = 1.48, 95%CI: 1.01 - 2.17). CONCLUSION: These data suggest that the allelic variant of rs1784594 is a risk factor for DNS following acute CO poisoning, especially in females. The PARK2 protein may modulate the susceptibility to DNS, underscoring the importance of examining the relationship between other PARK2 polymorphisms and clinical outcome following CO poisoning.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: By explore the role of serum soluble Fas (sFas) in occurrence and progression of delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide poisoning (DEACMP). METHODS: Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect serum sFas levels in 40 patients with DEACMP in acute stage and convalescent stage, with 36 healthy elderly subjects as the control group. RESULTS: Serum sFas levels of the patients with DEACMP in both the acute and convalescent stages showed no significant difference from those in the control group (P=0.737 and 0.137, respectively), nor was any significant difference found between the patients in acute and exacerbation stages (P=0.059). CONCLUSION: Serum sFas is not involved in the occurrence and progression of DEACMP.
