Abstract
Human lipidome still remains largely unexplored among Chinese schizophrenia patients. We aimed to identify novel lipid molecules associated with schizophrenia and cognition among schizophrenia patients. The current study included 96 male schizophrenia patients and 96 gender-matched healthy controls. Untargeted lipidomics profiling was conducted among all participants. Logistic regression models were used to assess metabolite associations with schizophrenia. We further assessed the incremental predictive value of identified metabolites beyond conventional risk factors on schizophrenia status. In addition, identified metabolites were tested for association with cognitive function among schizophrenia patients using linear regression models. A total of 34 metabolites were associated with schizophrenia. Addition of these identified metabolites to age, body mass index, smoking, and education significantly increased the risk reclassification of schizophrenia. Among the schizophrenia-related metabolites, 10 were further associated with cognition in schizophrenia patients, including four metabolites associated with immediate memory, two metabolites associated with delayed memory, three metabolites associated with visuospatial, four metabolites associated with language, one metabolite associated with attention, and two metabolites associated with the total score. Our findings provide novel insights into the biological mechanisms of schizophrenia, suggesting that lipid metabolites may serve as potential diagnostic or therapeutic targets of schizophrenia.

Sex-differential association of suicide attempts with thyroid dysfunction in first-episode and drug-naïve young major depressive disorder patients with comorbid anxiety. Sci Rep 2023; 13:13715.

Abstract
This study aimed to explore sex differences in the relationship between thyroid function indicators and suicide attempts in first-episode and drug-naïve young major depressive disorder (MDD) patients with comorbid anxiety (MDA). A total of 917 MDD patients (aged 18-35 years) were recruited. The Hamilton depression rating scale (HAMD-17), Hamilton anxiety rating scale (HAMA), positive and negative syndrome scale (PANSS) positive subscale and clinical global impression of severity scale (CGI-S) were used. 467 patients were classified as MDA. The prevalence of suicide attempts was 31.3% in MDA patients, which was significantly higher than that (7.3%) in MDD patients without anxiety. Compared with MDA patients without suicide attempts, MDA patients with suicide attempts were older, had a later age of onset, higher HAMD-17, HAMA, and PANSS positive symptom subscale scores, as well as higher TSH, TgAb and TPOAb levels. For male patients, TSH and TPOAb levels were independently associated with suicide attempts. For female patients, HAMA, PANSS positive symptom scores, CGI-S score and TPOAb levels were independently associated with suicide attempts. Our results suggest that the indicators of thyroid function which can predict suicide attempts in male and female MDA patients have sex differences.
