Expression level of myocardial enzymes in patients with schizophrenia: Predictive value in the occurrence of violence.

BACKGROUND: Schizophrenic patients are prone to violence, frequent recurrence, and difficult to predict. Emotional and behavioral abnormalities during the onset of the disease, resulting in active myocardial enzyme spectrum. AIM: To explored the expression level of myocardial enzymes in patients with schizophrenia and its predictive value in the occurrence of violence. METHODS: A total of 288 patients with schizophrenia in our hospital from February 2023 to January 2024 were selected as the research object, and 100 healthy people were selected as the control group. Participants' information, clinical data, and laboratory examination data were collected. According to Modified Overt Aggression Scale score, patients were further divided into the violent (123 cases) and non-violent group (165 cases). RESULTS: The comparative analysis revealed significant differences in serum myocardial enzyme levels between patients with schizophrenia and healthy individuals. In the schizophrenia group, the violent and non-violent groups also exhibited different levels of serum myocardial enzymes. The levels of myocardial enzymes in the non-violent group were lower than those in the violent group, and the patients in the latter also displayed aggressive behavior in the past. CONCLUSION: Previous aggressive behavior and the level of myocardial enzymes are of great significance for the diagnosis and prognosis analysis of violent behavior in patients with schizophrenia. By detecting changes in these indicators, we can gain a more comprehensive understanding of a patient's condition and treatment.

Orbital solitary fibrous tumours: clinicopathological characteristics and recurrence prediction.

BACKGROUND: SFTs are thought to have an unpredictable clinical course and currently have no recognized prognostic criterion. Our study aimed to determine the relationship between clinicopathological characteristics and the prognosis of patients with orbital SFTs. METHODS: The clinicopathological features of these patients were extracted from clinical records. The relationships between these features and prognosis were analysed. RESULTS: The positive rates of CD34, CD99, Blc2, and STAT6 expression were 90.3%, 90.3%, 83.9%, and 100%, respectively. The tumour recurrence rate was 38.7%. A higher recurrence rate was observed in patients with Ki67 index ≥ 5 (56.25% vs. 20%, P = 0.038). CONCLUSION: A Ki67 index ≥ 5 was an effective parameter for predicting tumour recurrence of orbital SFTs. Close follow-up is needed for these patients.

Visible-light-initiated external photocatalyst-free synthesis of α,α-difluoro-ß-ketoamides from 4-aminocoumarins.

A concise and efficient ring-opening difluorination strategy was developed for the synthesis of highly functionalized hydroxy-containing α,α-difluoro-ß-ketoamides from the one-pot multicomponent reaction of 4-aminocoumarins, NFSI, and water in dimethyl carbonate (DMC) as a green solvent. The reactions were smoothly achieved under visible light irradiation in air at room temperature without the addition of any other external photocatalysts. With this protocol, various α,α-difluoro-ß-ketoamides were successfully synthesized under mild conditions (25 examples, 73-91% yields). This transition-metal-free synthetic procedure shows good functional group compatibility and attractive practical potential for large-scale synthesis.
