RESUMO
Schizophrenia is a serious mental disease. The diagnosis of schizophrenia so far relies heavily on subjective evidence, including self-reported experiences by patients, manifestations described by relatives, and abnormal behaviors assessed by psychiatrists. The diagnosis, monitoring of the disease progression and therapy efficacy assessment are challenging due to the lack of established laboratory biomarkers. Based on the current literature, clinical consensus, guidelines, and expert recommendations, this review highlighted evidence-based potential laboratory biomarkers for the diagnosis of schizophrenia, including genetic biomarkers, neurotransmitters, neurodevelopmental-related proteins, and intestinal flora, and discussed the potential future directions for the application of these biomarkers in this field, aiming to provide an objective basis for the use of these biomarkers in the early and accurate diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis and rehabilitation assessment of schizophrenia.
RESUMO
Objective To study the levels of serum cytokines in schizophrenic patients and their changes in antipsychotic medica-tion treatment .Methods The levels of serum cytokines including IL-10 ,IL-6 ,IL-13 ,IL-4 ,IFN ,TNF-α,IL-1a and IL-1RA were de-tected in 34 healthy adults and 53 schizophrenia patients by adopting the flow fluorescence method .Results The serum levels of IL-6 ,IL10 and TNF-αbefore treatment in schizophrenic patients were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0 .05) . After treatment ,the levels of serum IL-1a ,IL-6 and TNF-α in schizophrenic patients were significantly lower than those before treatment(P<0 .05) .Conclusion Serum IL-6 and TNF-α levels are correlated with the disease condition of schizophrenia .IL-10 plays a role in early anti-inflammation of schizophrenia .
RESUMO
Objective The quantitation measurement of microalbuminuria was adopted to verify the feasibility of urinary microalbumin and ratio of mieroalbumin to creatinine (M/C) detection with dry hemieal method. Methods Totally 80 urine samples from the patients with clinically diagnosed dia-betes were tested by the immune quantitation method (immunoturhidimetric assay) and dry heroical method (HT2000 urine analyzer and test paper, Guilin Hnatong Company) simultaneously. Sarcosine oxidase method was applied to measuring creatinine level. Ten cases of outliers were removed. With the quantitation result of M/C as the reference standard, immune quatilyzation of the M/C as refer-ence, we compared and analyzed the results of the immune quantilization of urine microalbumin, those of the dry chemistry method and of the dry chemistry system detecting M/C. Results There was sig-nificant differences in test results of urinary microalbumin with the dry chemistry method and the im-mune quantitation method (P<0.01) The sensitivity, accuracy and Youden index of the microalbu-minuria testing had been observed to decrease in order in immune the dry chemistry method, the im-mune quantitation method and M/C quantitation detection method. Conclusion The sensitivity of semi-quantitation dry chemical method is satisfactory in detecting microalbumin, which may be used as a means of microalbumin screening. M/C detection with the dry chemical method isn't suitable for screening microalbumin in instant urine samples.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the stability of control preparation of blood cells after un-sealing. Methods One vial of red blood cell control preparation was aliquoted in fifteen round bottom centrifuge tube with covers stored at 2-8 "C. Aliquots were tested respectively in modes of whole blood and pre-dilution each day. The test results were filled in the quality control chart. The quality control i- tems included hemoglobin (Hb), mean cell volume (MCV), hematocrit (HCT), white blood cells (WBC) ,red blood cells (RBC) and platelets (PLT). The stability of the blood cell control preparation was also dynamically observed for 15 days with a non-aliquot standard preparation. Results There were no significant differences in the test results among the aliquots tested from day 1 to day 15. The PLT count was significantly increased for the non-aliquoted vial on day 7 (P<0.05). The coefficientvariation (CV) of test results for pre-dilution specimens was 1.3 to 5.5 times as that for whole blood specimens. Conclusion The aliquots of blood cell control materials has the potential to remain viable for at least 15 days under the temperature of 2 ℃-8℃. The whole blood dilution method has preferable reproducibility and accuracy.
