“…Extensive interrater reliability trainings and assessments were conducted within the psychiatry department before the current study to ensure consistency in CGI and CGAS ratings. There is documented use of CGI in inpatient psychiatry with improvement during acute inpatient admission 19 as well as in the inpatient consultation-liaison setting on medical wards. 20 The retrospective chart review was approved by the hospital' s institutional review board.…”

“…Предполагается, что для формирования шизофрении необходимы повышенная уязвимость человека к стрессовым воздействиям -с одной стороны, и воздействие этих психотравмирующих факторов -с другой стороны [2]. Гендерные и межполовые различия развития шизофрении и сопутствующих изменений поведения также представляют интерес для исследователей [8,12]. Психологические различия между мужчинами и женщинами имеют свою нейробиологическую основу.…”

“…У женщин более низкие показатели повторных случаев госпитализации и меньше продолжительность пребывания в стационаре [1]. По результатам исследований зарубежных авторов, у мужчин, страдающих шизофренией, более выражена негативная симптоматика, выше уровень социальной дезадаптации [12]. Таким образом, если в женской популяции больных шизофренией можно говорить о терапевтическом патоморфозе в сторону смягчения течения заболевания, то у мужчин наблюдается обратная тенденция, особенно за последние полтора десятилетия.…”

The study involved 32 patients with schizophrenia (F20). The main criterion of the analysis of gender characteristics is the trigger of the disease development. The authors analyze the possible role of psychological factors of traumatization in the interpretation of the mechanisms of formation and development of some symptoms of mental disorders in schizophrenics. According to the study, the trigger of the disease in women often has been the traumatic situation connected with unsuccessful romantic and sexual experiences: rape, attempted rape, "unrequited love" (56% of cases). Among the factors aggravating premorbid background in women, the authors noted the disturbances of eating behavior (37%) and suicidal behaviour (31% of cases). In men, the trigger is associated with trauma in the field of interpersonal relations (38% of cases). As aggravating factors in men, the authors identified anti-social behaviour (18%) and the use of alcohol and drugs (50% of cases). The analysis of socio-psychological factors of the disease revealed considerable social in women. Similar results were obtained the following factors: the criticality of the patient to his state and the safety of the patient in selforientation. 56% women are relatively critical to its defective state, this parameter in men is 37%.

Sex difference in association of symptoms and white matter deficits in first-episode and drug-naive schizophrenia

Accumulating evidence shows that disruption of white matter (WM) may be involved in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia, even at the onset of psychosis. However, very few studies have explored sex difference in its association with psychopathology in schizophrenia. This study aims to compare sex differences in clinical features and WM abnormalities in first-episode and drug-naive (FEDN) schizophrenia among Han Chinese inpatients. The WM fractional anisotropy (FA) values of the whole-brain were determined using voxel-based diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in 39 (16 males and 23 females) FEDN patients with schizophrenia and 30 healthy controls (13 males and 17 females) matched for gender, age, and education. Patient psychopathology was assessed using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS).Our results showed that compared with the controls, the patients showed widespread areas of lower FA, including corpus callosum, brainstem, internal capsule, cingulate, and cerebellum (all adjusted p < 0.01). Further, male patients showed lower FA values in left cingulate (F = 4.92, p = 0.033), but higher scores on the PANSS total, positive, and general psychopathology subscale scores (all p < 0.01) than female patients. Multivariate regression analysis showed that for male patients, FA values in right corpus callosum were positively associated with the PANSS total (beta = 0.785, t = 3.76, p = 0.002) and the negative symptom scores (beta = 0.494, t = 2.20, p = 0.044), while for female patients, FA values in left cingulate were negatively associated with the PANSS positive symptom score (beta = −0.717, t = −2.25, p = 0.041). Our findings indicate sex difference in white matter disconnectivity and its association with psychopathological symptoms in an early course of schizophrenia onset.
