AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to examine the relationship between specific genes and the effectiveness of risperidone treatment in a Chinese patient group.
  • A total of 148 patients were tested, with a focus on three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) through advanced genotyping technology.
  • Results showed that SNPs rs7627954 and rs2088885 were significantly linked to treatment response, indicating that certain genetic variations may influence how well individuals respond to risperidone.

Article Abstract

To investigate whether the gene affects risperidone treatment outcomes in the Chinese population. A total of 148 unrelated inpatients who received risperidone for six weeks were enrolled. The selected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; rs2088885, rs7627954 and rs13065441) were genotyped using the MassARRAY SNP IPLEX platform. The analysis showed that one novel SNP of , rs7627954, had a significant association with the response to risperidone (χ = 4.472; p = 0.034). This work also identified rs2088885 as significantly associated with risperidone response (χ = 5.257; p = 0.022). The result revealed that the rs2088885-rs7627954 C-T haplotype was more prevalent in good responders than in poor responders (p = 0.0278). This study revealed that the rs2088885 and rs7627954 SNPs of are associated with risperidone treatment response.

Background: The United States Food and Drug Administration approved 6 atypical antipsychotics for pediatric treatment of schizophrenia. However, little has been published on the effectiveness of these medications in the acute treatment setting of adolescents with psychosis. Since the clinical uncertainty and poor prognosis proceeding the early onset of schizophrenia has a significant impact on a child's development, there is a critical need for evidence-based data on this population.

Background: This scoping review focuses on the occurrence of tachyphylaxis, defined as reduced responsiveness upon reinitiating a previously effective medication. This phenomenon is previously documented in antidepressants and mood stabilizers.

Aim: To explore the frequency, treatment strategies, and predictability of tachyphylaxis across all psychotropic medications.

Article Synopsis
  • Narcolepsy with cataplexy (NT1) is a rare sleep disorder that can be linked to early-onset psychosis, particularly in kids and teens.
  • After excluding other medical issues, an adolescent girl with NT1 was initially diagnosed with a brief psychotic episode and treated with Risperidone.
  • Her symptoms improved significantly after switching to Chlorpromazine, marking one of the first successful uses of this drug for managing first-episode psychosis in a patient with NT1.

Mechanisms of Neurosyphilis-Induced Dementia: Insights into Pathophysiology.

Neurol Int

December 2024

Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences, School of Medicine, University of Miami Miller, Miami, FL 33136, USA.

Neurosyphilis-induced dementia represents a severe manifestation of tertiary syphilis, characterized by cognitive and neuropsychiatric impairments. This condition arises from the progression of syphilis to the central nervous system, where the spirochete causes damage through invasion, chronic inflammation, and neurodegeneration. The pathophysiology involves chronic inflammatory responses, direct bacterial damage, and proteinopathies.

Identification, annotation and toxicity estimation of organic pollutants in human serum via non-target analysis.

Environ Pollut

December 2024

State Key Laboratory of Pollution Control and Resource Reuse, School of the Environment, Nanjing University, Nanjing, 210023, People's Republic of China.

Environmental organic pollution causes a threat to the ecological environment, constrains social development and can also potentially harm human health. We applied non-target analysis to screen organic pollutants from the serum of 89 individuals, identifying 67 pollutants in the categories of industrial intermediates, plasticizers, surfactants, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and exogenous pollutant metabolites. The detection rate of chemicals for industrial use (50.
