- Brief Summary
This study aims to screen and validate multi-scale bio-markers for early diagnosis and medication monitoring for early schizophrenia, including the genetic, neurobiochemistry, neuroimaging and eletrophysiological measures. Based on the validated bio-markers, the present study further tries to build several prediction models for early differential diagnosis of schizophrenia from healthy controls and other mental diseases (such as the major depression and anxiety disorders), biological sub-typing and diagnosis of the schizophrenia sub-types, and early prediction of the medication effects.
- Detailed Description
Schizophrenia is one of the most important diseases that threaten the health of Chinese people. In view of the current lack of objective biological markers in the diagnosis and treatment of schizophrenia, as well as the lack of effective early diagnosis methods and curative effect prediction methods, the investigators carried out joint research by integrating research teams from molecular genetics, neurobiochemistry, psychiatry, medical imaging, information science and other fields. The overall objective of the project is to establish a bio-marker system for individualized diagnosis and treatment of early schizophrenia. Specific research contents include: screening and verifying multidimensional objective biological markers such as genetics, neurobiochemistry, neuroimaging, electrophysiology, which is related to early diagnosis and efficacy prediction of schizophrenia through big data analysis of healthy controls and patients with first episode schizophrenia, depression and anxiety disorder. Pattern recognition method is used to build the individualized early diagnosis model, biological sub-type clustering model, biological sub-type individualized diagnosis model and early curative effect prediction model of schizophrenia. Based on the individualized diagnosis and treatment prediction model of schizophrenia, the individualized diagnosis and treatment toolkit was developed, and the individualized diagnosis and treatment prediction cloud platform was established to provide assist for clinicians.

Group Intervention Description Risperidone Risperidone It can be used after schizophrenia is diagnosed. Risperidone affects prolactin and may affect menstruation in young women, so we will try not to use it in such patients. Patients were randomized to a single Risperidone control trial for 8 weeks to evaluate the clinical efficacy of the patients. Risperidone routine daily 2-6 mg, up to 8 mg, can be taken orally twice a day. Olanzapine Olanzapine It can be used after schizophrenia is diagnosed. Olanzapine is not generally used in patients with diabetes and hyperlipidemia. Patients were randomized to a single Olanzapine control trial for 8 weeks to evaluate the clinical efficacy of the patients. Olanzapine is available once or twice a day, starting at 5 mg daily and up to 20 mg daily. Aripiprazole Aripiprazole It can be used after schizophrenia is diagnosed. Aripiprazole has no specific contraindications. Patients were randomized to a single Aripiprazole control trial for 8 weeks to evaluate the clinical efficacy of the patients. Aripiprazole is taken orally once a day, starting at 10 mg daily and up to 30 mg daily.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) 30-45 minutes It is a scale involved and standardized for assessing the severity of symptoms of different types of schizophrenia. Of the 30 items included in the PANSS, 7 constitute a Positive Scale, 7 a Negative Scale, and the remaining 16 a General Psychopathology Scale. Each of the 30 items is accompanied by a specific definition as well as detailed anchoring criteria for all seven rating points. The scores for these scales are arrived at by summation of ratings across component items. These seven points represent increasing levels of psychopathology, as follows: 1- absent, 2- minimal, 3-mild, 4-moderate, 5-moderate severe, 6-severe, 7-extreme. Therefore, the potential ranges are 7 to 49 for the Positive and Negative Scales, and 16 to 112 for the General Psychopathology Scale. A rating of 7 (extreme) refers to the most serious level of psychopathology in each item, so the higher the score is, the more serious the physical level is.
Clinical Global Impression(CGI) 10-15 minutes the CGI is a 3-item observer-rated scale that measures illness severity (CGIS), global improvement or change (CGIC) and therapeutic response.The CGI is rated on a 7-point scale, with the severity of illness scale using a range of responses from 1 (normal) through to 7 (amongst the most severely ill patients).CGI-C scores range from 1 (very much improved) through to 7 (very much worse). Treatment response ratings should take account of both therapeutic efficacy and treatment-related adverse events and range from 0 (marked improvement and no side-effects) and 4 (unchanged or worse and side-effects outweigh the therapeutic effects). Each component of the CGI is rated separately; the instrument does not yield a global score.
