Co-aggregation of major psychiatric disorders in individuals with first-degree relatives with schizophrenia: a nationwide population-based study
A previous genetic study has suggested that schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) share common disease-a...

Gene–gene interactions of the INSIG1 and INSIG2 in metabolic syndrome in schizophrenic patients treated with atypical antipsychotics
The use of atypical antipsychotics (AAPs) is associated with increasing the risk of the metabolic syndrome (MetS), which is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Two insulin-induced...

Effect of carbon sources on the morphology of LiFePO4 cathode materials for lithium ion batteries
The LiFePO4 materials were prepared by incorporating conductive carbon from pyrolysising three different carbon sources (acetylene black, glucose and phonetic resin). The morphology LiFePO4/C was investigated by ...

Polymorphism of the adrenergic receptor alpha 2a −1291C>G genetic variation and clozapine-induced weight gain
Weight gain, leading to further morbidity and poor treatment compliance, is a common consequence of treatment with clozapine. The substantial interindividual and interracial differences in drug-induced weight ...

Negative association between Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) gene Val158Met polymorphism and persistent tardive dyskinesia in schizophrenia
Chronic administration of typical antipsychotic agents, which mainly act on the dopamine receptors, implicates a role of dopamine system on the susceptibility of tardive dyskinesia (TD). In the present study, ...

Association analysis of a neural nitric oxide synthase gene polymorphism and antipsychotics-induced tardive dyskinesia in Chinese schizophrenic patients
Recent findings from rodent studies with chronic administration of antipsychotic drugs have indicated the role of neural nitric oxide synthase (NOS1) on the susceptibility of tardive dyskinesia (TD). In the pr...
