Background: Meta-analyses support the efficacy of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in Western cultures. However, there are no adequately powered multicentre studies in China. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of treatment with CBT combined with medication and medication alone in OCD patients in China. Methods: OCD patients (N = 167) were recruited from outpatient clinics at three large tertiary psychiatric hospitals and one general hospital in China. Participants were randomly allocated to receive either CBT combined with medication (n = 92) or medication alone (n = 75) for a 24-week treatment period. Participants' symptoms and social functioning were assessed using the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS), Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A), Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) and Clinical Global Impression Scale for Severity (CGI-S) at 0, 4, 8, 12 and 24 weeks, and the effectiveness of the two treatments compared using linear mixed-effects models. Results: At 24 weeks, both groups showed large within-group effects in all measures. Significantly more patients receiving combined therapy than medication alone had a decrease in symptom severity of at least 35% (based on Y-BOCS total score). The CGI-S and GAF scores decreased in both groups, and significant differences were found between the groups. Limitations: Study limitations included lack of consideration of medication types and dosages, and the absence of a CBT-only arm. Conclusions: CBT combined with medication may be effective in alleviating symptoms and social functioning impairment associated with OCD, and is more effective than medication alone in China, particularly for the treatment of compulsive behaviours.
Objectives: Although cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), the treatment mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the effects of CBT on changes in the intrinsic whole-brain functional network of OCD patients. Materials and Methods: Twenty drug-naive and noncomorbid OCD patients were recruited, and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging was performed before and after 12 weeks of CBT. Moreover, 20 healthy controls were scanned twice with a 12-week interval. A graph-theory degree centrality (DC) approach and functional connectivity method were used to analyze the whole-brain functional network hub and connectivity changes in OCD patients before and after CBT treatment. Results: A significant groupxtime interaction on DC was found in the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC); the DC in the left DLPFC was significantly reduced after CBT treatment. Resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) between the left DLPFC and right orbitofrontal cortex was increased in the OCD patients at baseline, and normalized after CBT treatment. RSFC changes between the left DLPFC and default mode network (DMN) positively correlated with changes in clinical symptoms in OCD patients. Conclusions: These findings suggest that CBT can modulate changes in intrinsic functional network hubs in the cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical circuit in OCD patients. Cognitive control network and DMN connectivity may be a potential imaging biomarker for evaluating CBT treatment for OCD.
Objective:To investigate expression and influence factors of plasma macrophage migration in-hibitory factor(MIF)levels in patients with mild cognitive impairment(MCI),alzheimer disease(AD),and vascular dementia(VD). Method:All subjects including MCI(45 cases),AD(44 cases),VD(30 cases) and healthy elderly controls(NC,40 cases)came from the epidemiological survey in the urban and rural com-munities in Guangzhou from 2001 to 2002. The plasma MIF level of all the cases was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and compared;and the influence factors of plasma MIF level were analyzed. Results:There were not statistically significant differences on the plasma MIF concentrations among AD group[(40.99 ± 33.34)μg/L],VD group[(39. 16 ± 23. 87)μg/L],MCI group[(39. 9 ± 38. 5)μg/L]and NC group [(32.1 ± 13)μg/L](F=0.751,P>0.05),and among the patients with different degrees of cognitive impair-ment(F=0.654,P>0.05).There was negative correlation between plasma MIF concentration and mini mental state examination(MMSE)scores in AD group(r= -0.303,P<0.05),and positive correlation between plas-ma MIF concentration and frequency of stroke in mild VD patients(r=0.757,P=0.007).There were not sig-nificant correlations between plasma MIF concentration and gender,age,duration,educationyears,scores of clini-cal dementia rating scale and activities of daily living. Conclusion:MIF may be involved in the pathological process of MCI,AD and VD.

Objective To examine the association among the various components of the metabolic syndrome( MS),risk factors of cardiovascular and Alzheimer's disease( AD). Method 58 patients with AD were divided into MS group and non-MS group( NMS grooup) according to the diagnostic criteria of MS by Chinese Medical Association Diabetes Branch. Blood fasting sugar,fasting insulin,triglyceride,angiotensin converting enzyme and hypersensitive C-reactive protein( hs-CRP) were evaluated in all the cases and then the insulin sensitive index( ISI) was calculated. Results( 1) The level of fasting insulin and abdominal circumference in MS group were significantly higher than those in NMS group( P < 0. 05).( 2) The level of homocysteine and insulin resistance in MS group were significantly higher than those in NMS group( P < 0. 05).( 3) The level of angiotensin converting enzyme was significantly positively correlated with abdominal circumference( P = 0. 021). Level of insulin resistance was significantly positively correlated with fasting sugar( P = 0. 000),as well as fasting insulin( P = 0. 000). Level of hs- CRP was significantly negatively correlated with triglyceride( P = 0. 018) and level of angiotensin converting enzyme was significantly correlated with fasting insulin( P =0. 039). Conclusion Vascular factors may be one of the risk factors of AD in AD patients combined with MS.
Objective To investigate the relation of alzheimer disease(AD),vascular dementia(VD)and mild cognitive impairment(MCI)with plasma brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF).Methods All subjects included 50 MCI,45 AD,30 VD and 40 healthy elderly.The concentration of BDNF were tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Results BDNF concentrations were significant different in MCI group(6.2 ± 5.1)μg /L,AD group(8.1 ± 5.0)μg /L,VD group(5.6 ± 4.8)μg /L,compared with control group(6.4 ± 3.1)μg /L(P = 0.013),and BDNF concentrations in AD group was higher than MCI and VD groups(P < 0.05).There were significant differences between moderate-to-severe AD group and MCI group(P = 0.023).There were no significant correlation between BDNF concentration and gender,age,duration,stroke frequency,MMSE score,CDR score and ADL score in all groups.Conclusions Plasma BDNF concentration in AD group were higher than MCI and VD groups,but BDNF concentration were not related with the course of disease course and cognitive impairment in the three groups.
Objective:To explore the etiological factors of obsessive compulsive disorder(OCD) by investigating characteristics of irrational beliefs, social support and their relationship with symptoms of OCD.Methods:80 OCD pa tients and 40 normal participants were assessed with Irrational Beliefs Scale(IBS) and Social Support Rating Scale(SSRS). Logistic regression analysis and multiple stepwise regression analysis were applied to examine the relationship between clinical symptoms and the irrational beliefs and social support.Results:①The scores of all the sub-scales in the irrational beliefs in the patient group were significantly higher(P0.05) than control group, the scores of objective support and subjective support in the patient group were also significantly lower than control group(P0.05). ②The de mandingness is the risk factor for OCD(OR=1.149, P0.05). The severity of obsessive compulsive symptoms was posi tively correlated with the level of low frustration tolerance(β=0.404, P0.01). The severity of depression and anxiety were positively correlated with the level of low frustration tolerance(β=0.558, P0.01) and utilization of support(β=-0.363, P0.01).Conclusion:OCD patients have more irrational beliefs and less social support, relative to the controls.The demandingness is the risk factor of OCD. The severity of obsessive compulsive symptoms can be predicted by low frustration tolerance, and the depression and anxiety symptoms were influenced by low frustration tolerance and utiliza tion of support in the OCD patients.

Neuroimaging studies of obsessive-compulsive disorder have found abnormalities in orbitofronto-striato-thalamic circuitry, including the orbitofrontal cortex, anterior cingulate cortex, caudate, and thalamus, but few studies have explored abnormal intrinsic or spontaneous brain activity in the resting state. We investigated both intra- and inter-regional synchronized activity in twenty patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder and 20 healthy controls using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging. Regional homogeneity (ReHo) and functional connectivity methods were used to analyze the intra- and inter-regional synchronized activity, respectively. Compared with healthy controls, patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder showed significantly increased ReHo in the orbitofrontal cortex, cerebellum, and insula, and decreased ReHo in the ventral anterior cingulate cortex, caudate, and inferior occipital cortex. Based on ReHo results, we determined functional connectivity differences between the orbitofrontal cortex and other brain regions in both patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder and controls. We found abnormal functional connectivity between the orbitofrontal cortex and ventral anterior cingulate cortex in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder compared with healthy controls. Moreover, ReHo in the orbitofrontal cortex was correlated with the duration of obsessive-compulsive disorder. These findings suggest that increased intra- and inter-regional synchronized activity in the orbitofrontal cortex may have a key role in the pathology of obsessive-compulsive disorder. In addition to orbitofronto-striato-thalamic circuitry, brain regions such as the insula and cerebellum may also be involved in the pathophysiology of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Objective To evaluate the suitability of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD),and analyze the domestic application status of CBT techniques for OCD and lay a foundation of standard CBT in China.Methods Delphi method was adopted to evaluate 30 CBT techniques on four dimensions,including operability,frequency,contribution of treatment and acceptability,and calculated the final scores of all techniques on different dimension and their comprehensive rank.Results After two rounds of experts consulting,Kendall coefficients of four dimensions were 0.249,0.269,0.234,0.250 (P<0.01),coefficient of variation ranged from 0.05 to 0.31 of each technology on different dimension.The operability score of thought stopping,cost-benefit analysis and pie chart belonged to general suitability.The frequency and treatment contribution score of thought stopping and pie chart belonged to occasional use and small.The acceptation score of socratic question,thought stopping,in vivo exposure and behavior prevention belonged to partial acceptation.Weight coefficients of four dimensions were 0.26,0.18,0.27,0.29 and techniques ranking in the top three were information collection and evaluation,therapeutic alliance foundation and psychological education.Conclusion Most CBT techniques for OCD are suitable in China but some techniques still need to be improved.
