Cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia patients caused by down-regulation of γ-aminobutyric acid receptor subunits.

Background: The expression pattern of gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor subunits are commonly altered in patients with schizophrenia, which may lead to nerve excitation/inhibition problems, affecting cognition, emotion, and behavior.

Aim: To explore GABA receptor expression and its relationship with schizophrenia and to provide insights into more effective treatments.

Methods: This case-control study enrolled 126 patients with schizophrenia treated at our hospital and 126 healthy volunteers who underwent physical examinations at our hospital during the same period.

Successful treatment of a case of severe electrical burns with heart and lung injuries.

A patient sustained high-voltage electrical burns with third-degree burns over 35.5% of his body surface, which included a large direct wound on the left chest wall, exposing the heart. The heart and lungs were severely injured.

[The complications of radiotherapy for breast cancer and the treatment for radiation ulcer].

Objective: To explore the effective treatment for chronic ulcer following radiotherapy for breast cancer and reveal the universality and severity of radiation-induced brachial plexus neuropathy.

Methods: The TRAM flap, the local expanded flap or the delayed skin flap were applied to repair the ulcer wounds in 16 patients. Electromyogram examinations were used to evaluate the radiation lesions of the brachial plexus.
