Sociodemographic, clinical and treatment characteristics of current rapid-cycling bipolar disorder: a multicenter Chinese study.

Background: Rapid cycling bipolar disorder (RCBD), characterized by four or more episodes per year, is a complex subtype of bipolar disorder (BD) with poorly understood characteristics.

Method: This multicenter, observational, longitudinal cohort study enrolled 520 BD patients across seven psychiatric institutions in China from January 2013 to January 2014. Participants were divided into RCBD and non-RCBD (NRCBD) groups based on the frequency of mood episodes in the preceding year.

Utilizing plasma drug levels and genetic testing to achieve optimal treatment response in a patient with treatment-resistant schizoaffective disorder.

We report the case of a Chinese male with schizoaffective disorder, an active smoker and a nonresponder to clozapine (600 mg daily). Therapeutic clozapine monitoring was analyzed, revealing a low concentration-dose ratio. A pharmacogenetic test showed that the patient had the CYP1A2*1F/*1F genotype, indicating an ultra-rapid clozapine metabolizer.

Membrane-protected magnetic covalent organic framework for efficient extraction of estrogens in dairy products.

The presence of estrogens residues in dairy products is a growing concern due to their potential health risk. Herein, in this study, we have developed a membrane-protected magnetic solid-phase extraction (MP-MSPE) method that utilized a magnetic adsorbent (FeO@COF-LZU1) with in-situ growth for the efficient extraction of estrone (E1), 17β-estradiol (E2), and estriol (E3). When combined with HPLC-FLD, this method allows for the efficient detection of estrogens in dairy products.

Adherence to pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy among patients with chronic pancreatitis in East China: a mixed methods study.

Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) has been recommended as the preferred method for pancreatic exocrine insufficiency caused by chronic pancreatitis (CP). However, at present, the patient-related factors for the poor PERT management are not clear, and there are no studies on the adherence to PERT in patients with CP in East China. This was a mixed-method study following the principle of sequential explanatory design and included two parts: a quantitative and qualitative study.

Immune-inflammatory responses and pulmonary embolism in Catatonia: A report of two cases.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) comprises pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). PE, as the most severe manifestation of VTE, can cause increased mortality in patients with mental disorders. Here we describe two cases of young male patients with catatonia who developed PE and DVT during their hospital stay.

SIRT1 knock-in mice preserve ovarian reserve resembling caloric restriction.

Previous studies have proposed that caloric restriction (CR) regulates many cell functions and prolongs the lifespan of an organism. Our previous studies proposed that CR also prevents follicular activation and preserves the ovarian reserve in mice by activating SIRT1. To test if SIRT1 preserves the ovarian reserve and prolongs the ovarian longevity, we generated SIRT1 knock-in mice that can overexpress SIRT1 in oocytes of the mouse.

SIRT1 activator (SRT1720) improves the follicle reserve and prolongs the ovarian lifespan of diet-induced obesity in female mice via activating SIRT1 and suppressing mTOR signaling.

Background: The prevalence of obesity is increasing worldwide and significantly affects fertility and reproduction in both men and women. Our recent study has shown that excess body fat accelerates ovarian follicle development and follicle loss in rats. The aim of the present study is to explore the effect of SIRT1 activator SRT1720 on the reserve of ovarian follicle pool and ovarian lifespan of obese mice and the underlying mechanism associated with SIRT1 and mTOR signaling.

Caloric restriction promotes the reserve of follicle pool in adult female rats by inhibiting the activation of mammalian target of rapamycin signaling.

Caloric restriction (CR) is known to increase the number of primordial follicles and prolong the reproductive life span. However, how CR modulates follicular development is not well understood. In the present study, we examined the effects of CR on follicular development in rats and investigated the underlying mechanism.

Obesity accelerates ovarian follicle development and follicle loss in rats.

Objective: Studies have shown that excess body fat negatively affects reproductive functions in females. However, whether obesity affects the ovarian follicle development and ovarian lifespan and the underlying mechanism has not been well elucidated. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between obesity and ovarian follicle development.

A new anticancer compound, oblongifolin C, inhibits tumor growth and promotes apoptosis in HeLa cells through Bax activation.

Oblongifolin C (OC) was identified as a potent apoptosis inducer from an herbal plant, Garcinia yunnanensis, during our previous bioassay-guided drug screening. In this study, we investigated the signaling pathways through which OC activated apoptosis in HeLa cells. We also compared the IC(50) values of OC with that of etoposide, paclitaxel and vinblastine in multiple cancer cell lines including HER2 and P-glycoprotein overexpressing cells.

The effects of caloric restriction and a high-fat diet on ovarian lifespan and the expression of SIRT1 and SIRT6 proteins in rats.

Background And Aims: Caloric restriction (CR) extends mammals' lifespans and suppresses ovary development. Sirtuins are involved in these mechanisms. If, and to what extent CR affects ovarian lifespan and follicle development is largely unknown.

Effects of plant polyphenols on ovarian follicular reserve in aging rats.

The pool of ovarian primordial follicles is established during embryonic development or at birth. During the development from primordial to primary, secondary, and antral follicles, only a small portion of follicles can mature and successfully ovulate; the others are destined to degenerate through apoptotic or atretic loss. As aging advances, females ultimately enter the cessation phase of the estrous cycle and are no longer capable of fertilization.

Evidence that FOXO3a is involved in oocyte apoptosis in the neonatal rat ovary.

Previous studies have proposed that the forkhead transcription factor FOXO3a is involved in cell cycle arrest and apoptosis and that it may also repress follicular development by inducing cell cycle arrest in ovaries. We have recently demonstrated that FOXO3a induces oocyte apoptosis of neonatal rat ovaries under in vitro conditions. In the present study, we evaluated the role of FOXO3a in oocyte apoptosis under in vivo conditions.
