Monocyte to high density lipoprotein ratio (MHR) is a new instrument for giving notice inflammation, which plays a main role in schizophrenia. Thus, in this study, our goal was to investigate the possible association between MHR and schizophrenia.
The participants of this study consisted of 75 schizophrenia patients and 74 healthy individuals (control group). The Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale was used to collect data from the patient group. Complete blood count parameters and lipid profile were analyzed in all study participants.
The patients with schizophrenia had higher MHR values (15.04 ± 3.31 in schizophrenia patients and 12.62 ± 2.99 in controls; = 0.001). Monocyte counts and MHR of the schizophrenia patients were significantly higher than the control group. There was a significant and positive correlation between age, body mass index, severity of disease and MHR.
To our knowledge, this study was the first to demonstrate inflammatory markers such as MHR levels in schizophrenia patients. Both monocyte counts and MHR values in schizophrenia patients were higher than the control group. MHR might be an available and useful inflammatory marker to evaluate inflammation in schizophrenia patients.
单核细胞与高密度脂蛋白比值(MHR)是一种提示炎症的新指标,在精神分裂症中起主要作用。因此,在本研究中,我们的目标是调查MHR与精神分裂症之间可能存在的关联。
本研究的参与者包括75例精神分裂症患者和74名健康个体(对照组)。采用阳性和阴性症状量表从患者组收集数据。对所有研究参与者的全血细胞计数参数和血脂谱进行分析。
精神分裂症患者的MHR值更高(精神分裂症患者为15.04±3.31,对照组为12.62±2.99;P = 0.001)。精神分裂症患者的单核细胞计数和MHR显著高于对照组。年龄、体重指数、疾病严重程度与MHR之间存在显著正相关。
据我们所知,本研究首次证明了精神分裂症患者中存在如MHR水平等炎症标志物。精神分裂症患者的单核细胞计数和MHR值均高于对照组。MHR可能是评估精神分裂症患者炎症的一种可用且有用的炎症标志物。
