    Abstract Abstract Background The ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic is caused by SARS-CoV-2, a novel coronavirus first discovered at the end of 2019. It has led to more than 50 million confirmed cases and more than 1 million deaths across 219 countries as of 11 November 2020, according to WHO statistics. SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV, and MERS-CoV are similar. They are highly pathogenic and threaten public health, impair the economy, and inflict long-term impacts on society. No drug or vaccine has been approved as a treatment for these viruses. Efforts to develop antiviral measures have been hampered by the insufficient understanding of how the human body responds to viral infections at the cellular and molecular levels. Results In this study, journal articles and transcriptomic and proteomic data surveying coronavirus infections were collected. Response genes and proteins were then identified by differential analyses comparing gene/protein levels between infected and control samples. Finally, the H2V database was created to contain the human genes and proteins that respond to SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV, and MERS-CoV infection. Conclusions H2V provides molecular information about the human response to infection. It can be a powerful tool to discover cellular pathways and processes relevant for viral pathogenesis to identify potential drug targets. It is expected to accelerate the process of antiviral agent development and to inform preparations for potential future coronavirus-related emergencies.

    Abstract Summary: Respiratory influenza A virus (IAV) infections are major health concerns worldwide, where bacterial superinfections substantially increase morbidity and mortality. The underlying mechanisms of how IAV impairs host defense remain elusive. Macrophages are pivotal for the innate immune response and crucially regulate the entire inflammatory process, occurring as inflammatory M1- or pro-resolving M2-like phenotypes. Lipid mediators (LM), produced from polyunsaturated fatty acids by macrophages, are potent immune regulators and impact all stages of inflammation. Using LM metabololipidomics, we show that human pro-resolving M2-macrophages respond to IAV infections with specific and robust production of prostaglandin (PG)E2 along with upregulation of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), which persists after co-infection with Staphylococcus aureus. In contrast, cytokine/interferon production in macrophages was essentially unaffected by IAV infection, and the functionality of M1-macrophages was not influenced. Conclusively, IAV infection of M2-macrophages selectively elevates PGE2 formation, suggesting inhibition of the COX-2/PGE2 axis as strategy to limit IAV exacerbation.

    Abstract Schizophrenia is a chronic disorder characterized by specific positive and negative primary symptoms, social behavior disturbances and cognitive deficits (e.g., impairment in working memory and cognitive flexibility). Mounting evidence suggests that altered excitability and inhibition at the molecular, cellular, circuit and network level might be the basis for the pathophysiology of neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia. In the past decades, human and animal studies have identified that glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) neurotransmissions are critically involved in several cognitive progresses, including learning and memory. The purpose of this review is, by analyzing emerging findings relating to the balance of excitatory and inhibitory, ranging from animal models of schizophrenia to clinical studies in patients with early onset, first-episode or chronic schizophrenia, to discuss how the excitatory-inhibitory imbalance may relate to the pathophysiology of disease phenotypes such as cognitive deficits and negative symptoms, and highlight directions for appropriate therapeutic strategies.

    Abstract Abstract The effect of the gut microbiome on the central nervous system and its possible role in mental disorders have received increasing attention. However, knowledge about the relationship between the gut microbiome and brain structure and function is still very limited. Here, we used 16S rRNA sequencing with structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) and resting-state functional (rs-fMRI) to investigate differences in fecal microbiota between 38 patients with schizophrenia (SZ) and 38 demographically matched normal controls (NCs) and explored whether such differences were associated with brain structure and function. At the genus level, we found that the relative abundance of Ruminococcus and Roseburia was significantly lower, whereas the abundance of Veillonella was significantly higher in SZ patients than in NCs. Additionally, the analysis of MRI data revealed that several brain regions showed significantly lower gray matter volume (GMV) and regional homogeneity (ReHo) but significantly higher amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation in SZ patients than in NCs. Moreover, the alpha diversity of the gut microbiota showed a strong linear relationship with the values of both GMV and ReHo. In SZ patients, the ReHo indexes in the right STC (r = − 0.35, p = 0.031, FDR corrected p = 0.039), the left cuneus (r = − 0.33, p = 0.044, FDR corrected p = 0.053) and the right MTC (r = − 0.34, p = 0.03, FDR corrected p = 0.052) were negatively correlated with the abundance of the genus Roseburia. Our results suggest that the potential role of the gut microbiome in SZ is related to alterations in brain structure and function. This study provides insights into the underlying neuropathology of SZ.

    Abstract Auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs) which are the core psychopathology symptoms in schizophrenia patients cause amounts of distress, functional disability and behavioral dys-control. However, the neural mechanism with the onset of AVHs in schizophrenia remains unclear. In the present study, we recruited 30 schizophrenia patients with AVHs, 20 schizophrenia patients with non-AVHs (nAVHs), and 50 healthy controls. Structure magnetic resonance imaging was obtained, and voxel-based morphometry (VBM) was used to analyse the gray matter volume (GMV) in the three groups. We found that the GMV of anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), left superior temporal gyrus (STG), and left middle temporal gyrus (MTG) significantly decreased in schizophrenia patients compared to healthy controls. In addition, the left STG with significantly decreased volume was found in nAVHs compared to AVHs, but no significant changes of GMV in ACC and left MTG were found between AVHs and nAVHs. Our current study identified the abnormal GMV of the left STG in schizophrenia patients with AVHs. Our findings further supported the view that, whilst mild reduced GMV of the left STG might still enable the emergence of AVHs, more severe alterations may prevent the occurrence of AVHs experience.

    Abstract Background: The impact of culture on insight on illness and attitudes towards medication among patients with schizophrenia has not been well studied. We compared inpatients in the US and in China (a culture that numerous studies have shown heavily stigmatizes mental illness and psychosis), on measures of insight and acceptance of medication, controlling for overall severity of schizophrenia symptoms.
    Methods: Clinical antipsychotic treatment for intervention effectiveness (CATIE) was a large study of pharmacotherapy of people with schizophrenia across the US. Insight was measured using the insight and treatment attitudes questionnaire (ITAQ) and attitudes towards medication by the drug attitude inventory (DAI) and symptoms of schizophrenia by the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). These measures were applied to a sample of hospitalized patients diagnosed with schizophrenia at the Guangzhou Psychiatric hospital, the largest psychiatric hospital in Southern China. Mean ITAQ and DAI scores, net of total schizophrenia symptoms and other differences were compared at the time of admission using analysis of covariance.
    Results: Both insight and favourable attitudes towards medication were significantly and substantially lower in the sample from Guangzhou on bivariate analysis even after adjusting for severity of overall schizophrenia symptoms on the PANSS.
    Conclusion: Inpatients in China had far lower scores on measures of insight and acceptance of their need for and benefits of medication, controlling for overall severity of schizophrenia symptoms, suggesting a significant impact of Chinese culture which is presumed to more heavily stigmatize mental illness and especially psychosis, although other explanations can not be ruled out.

    Abstract BackgroundAnxiety has been a common mental state during the epidemic of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and is usually closely related to somatization. However, no study on somatization in anxiety and its relationship with insomnia has been conducted. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the prevalence of anxiety, somatization and insomnia and explore the relationships between different psychological states in the general population during the COVID-19 outbreak.MethodsA total of 1,172 respondents were recruited from 125 cities in mainland China by an online questionnaire survey. All subjects were evaluated with the 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) scale, the somatization subscale of the Symptom Checklist 90-Revised (SCL-90-R), and the 7-item Insomnia Severity Index (ISI).ResultsThe percentages of anxiety, somatization, and insomnia were 33.02%, 7.59%, and 24.66%, respectively. The prevalence of somatization was 19.38% in participants with anxiety. Compared to the anxiety without somatization group, the anxiety with somatization group had a significantly higher percentage of patients with a history of physical disease and insomnia, as well as higher GAD-7 scores and SCL-90 somatization subscores (all p < 0.001). The SCL-90 somatization subscores were positively correlated with age, history of physical disease, GAD-7 scores, and ISI scores (all p < 0.001). Furthermore, multivariate logistic regression showed that GAD-7 score, ISI score, and age were risk factors for somatization in the anxious population.ConclusionsSomatic and psychological symptoms were common in the general population during the COVID-19 outbreak. Somatic symptoms, anxiety, and insomnia are closely related, and improving anxiety and sleep quality may help relieve somatic symptoms.

    Abstract Previous brain structural magnetic resonance imaging studies reported that patients with schizophrenia have brain structural abnormalities, which have been used to discriminate schizophrenia patients from normal controls. However, most existing studies identified schizophrenia patients at a single site, and the genetic features closely associated with highly heritable schizophrenia were not considered. In this study, we performed standardized feature extraction on brain structural magnetic resonance images and on genetic data to separate schizophrenia patients from normal controls. A total of 1010 participants, 508 schizophrenia patients and 502 normal controls, were recruited from 8 independent sites across China. Classification experiments were carried out using different machine learning methods and input features. We tested a support vector machine, logistic regression, and an ensemble learning strategy using 3 feature sets of interest: (1) imaging features: gray matter volume, (2) genetic features: polygenic risk scores, and (3) a fusion of imaging features and genetic features. The performance was assessed by leave-one-site-out cross-validation. Finally, some important brain and genetic features were identified. We found that the models with both imaging and genetic features as input performed better than models with either alone. The average accuracy of the classification models with the best performance in the cross-validation was 71.6%. The genetic feature that measured the cumulative risk of the genetic variants most associated with schizophrenia contributed the most to the classification. Our work took the first step toward considering both structural brain alterations and genome-wide genetic factors in a large-scale multisite schizophrenia classification. Our findings may provide insight into the underlying pathophysiology and risk mechanisms of schizophrenia.
