Introduction: Although ATP-binding cassette sub-family A member 7 gene () is known to be associated with Alzheimer's disease, the relationship between and schizophrenia has been unknown.
Methods: Schizophrenia patients (n = 50; 24 males, 62.1 ± 0.50 years old) and age- and sex-matched healthy controls (n = 50) were recruited for the mRNA analysis. Additionally, a case-control study for the rs3764650 genotypes was performed with 1308 samples (control subjects; n = 527, schizophrenia patients; n = 781). All participants were Japanese, unrelated to each other, and living in the same area.
Results: The distributions of the rs3764650 genotypes in schizophrenia patients were not different from that of controls. However, the mRNA expression levels in schizophrenia patients were significantly higher than those in controls by a logistic regression analysis. Additionally, the mRNA expression levels in schizophrenia patients were correlated with the rs3764650 genotypes in a dose-dependent manner.
Discussion: The mRNA expression levels in peripheral blood with the rs3764650 genotypes may be related to pathological mechanisms in schizophrenia and may be a biological marker for schizophrenia.

Multiple Retained Needles in the Chest and Abdomen Due to Self-Injury: A Case Report.

Retained needles are rarely observed in multiple locations. Furthermore, although case reports on retained needles have been published, there are no standardized guidelines for managing retained needles. A 42-year-old man with schizophrenia was referred to our hospital for intensive care because of a pericardial effusion and 12 needles from needle pricks being retained in both his chest and abdomen.

Objective: Negative and cognitive symptoms present significant challenges in patients with schizophrenia, and cognitive remediation is a promising approach to alleviate these symptoms. This study aimed to explore the efficacy of computerized cognitive remediation therapy (CCRT) on psychiatric symptoms, cognitive deficits, and serum levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) in patients with schizophrenia.
Materials And Methods: Forty male long-term institutionalized inpatients with schizophrenia were assigned to either a CCRT group (n = 20) or a control group (n = 20).

Background: Long-term care of patients with schizophrenia, which creates a burden of care, leads to disruption in interactions, social and personal relationships, changes in lifestyle, and shifts in the roles of family members. This study aimed to explore the lived experiences of family caregivers who are caring for a family member with schizophrenia within the Baloch ethnicity.
Methods: This is a qualitative study, using a descriptive phenomenological approach.

Gamma oscillations are essential for brain communication. The 40 Hz neural oscillation deficits in schizophrenia impair left frontotemporal connectivity and information communication, causing auditory hallucinations. Transcranial alternating current stimulation is thought to enhance connectivity between different brain regions by modulating brain oscillations.
