Article Abstract

Background And Hypothesis: Complex schizophrenia symptoms were recently conceptualized as interactive symptoms within a network system. However, it remains unknown how a schizophrenia network changed during acute antipsychotic treatment. The present study aimed to evaluate the interactive change of schizophrenia symptoms under seven antipsychotics from individual time series.

Study Design: Data on 3030 schizophrenia patients were taken from a multicenter randomized clinical trial and used to estimate the partial correlation cross-sectional networks and longitudinal random slope networks based on multivariate multilevel model. Thirty symptoms assessed by The Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale clustered the networks.

Study Results: Five stable communities were detected in cross-sectional networks and random slope networks that describe symptoms change over time. Delusions, emotional withdrawal, and lack of spontaneity and flow of conversation featured as central symptoms, and conceptual disorganization, hostility, uncooperativeness, and difficulty in abstract thinking featured as bridge symptoms, all showing high centrality in the random slope network. Acute antipsychotic treatment changed the network structure (M-test = 0.116, P < .001) compared to baseline, and responsive subjects showed lower global strength after treatment (11.68 vs 14.18, S-test = 2.503, P < .001) compared to resistant subjects. Central symptoms and bridge symptoms kept higher centrality across random slope networks of different antipsychotics. Quetiapine treatment network showed improvement in excitement symptoms, the one featured as both central and bridge symptom.

Conclusion: Our findings revealed the central symptoms, bridge symptoms, cochanging features, and individualized features under different antipsychotics of schizophrenia. This brings implications for future targeted drug development and search for pathophysiological mechanisms.

January 2025

United States Department of Agriculture-Agriculture Research Service, Grassland Soil and Water Research Laboratory, Temple, TX 76502, USA.

Efficient and reliable corn ( L.) yield prediction is important for varietal selection by plant breeders and management decision-making by growers. Unlike prior studies that focus mainly on county-level or controlled laboratory-scale areas, this study targets a production-scale area, better representing real-world agricultural conditions and offering more practical relevance for farmers.

Determination of the Entire Existence Composition Range of CrMnFeCoNi High-Entropy Alloys Using Sintered Diffusion Multiple Method.

Materials (Basel)

January 2025

Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Ibaraki University, 4-12-1 Nakanarusawa, Hitachi 316-8511, Ibaraki, Japan.

The sintered diffusion multiple (SDM) method, which has been developed in our research group, has been applied to determine the entire composition range of the CrMnFeCoNi high-entropy alloy stereoscopically and continuously over nearly the entire range. The samples were prepared by sintering mixed elemental powders and were annealed at 970 °C or 800 °C. Several hundreds of thousands of points were analyzed at random within the samples for chemical compositions using electron probe microanalysis.

Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) are often found in ILD; whether ANA is associated with radiographic progression of quantitive interstital lung changes is unknown. We performed longitudinal analyses of adults in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis using linear mixed effects models with random intercept and slope to evaluate whether baseline ANA was associated with change in the amount of lung with high attenuation areas on CT (HAAs, percentage of imaged lung with -600 to -250 HU). In 6,638 subjects with 17,293 CT scans over 18 years, 741 (11%) were ANA positive.
