Objectives : The aim of this study was to investigate relationships between psychotic symptoms and cognitive functions in schizophrenia. Methods : The study group was composed of 36 schizophrenic patients. Positive, negative, and disorganization symptoms were assessed using the PANSS. Verbal, visuospatial, attention, memory, and executive functions were assessed using a battery of cognitive tests. Results : Correlation analysis between symptom vs. cognitive measures showed that (a) positive symptoms were significantly correlated with no cognitive measures, (b) negative symptoms were significantly correlated with all cognitive measures, and (c) disorganization symptoms were significantly correlated with executive and memory measures. Correlation analyses between symptom vs. cognitive factors showed that negative-disorganization factor is significantly correlated with executive-memory factor. Conclusion : Significant relationships were confined mostly to frontal symptoms vs. frontal cognitive functions. Thus, the relationships may be mediated mainly by variations in severity of frontal pathology among patients.

Background: There is recent evidence that insulin resistance is responsible for increasing the risk of developing cognitive dysfunction. To systematically review the influence of intranasal insulin treatment on the cognitive function in Alzheimer's disease patients. Methods: Randomized controlled trials comparing the cognitive effects of intranasal insulin therapy in Alzheimer's disease patients with controlled interventions were retrieved from Pubmed, Medline, Embase and Cochrane library. Meta-analysis was conducted on the cognitive measurements with a subgroup analysis by dose, gender and apolipoprotein E allele 4 (ApoE ${\varepsilon}4$) status. Results: Seven randomized controlled trials were eligible for inclusion. Intranasal insulin had a positive influence on the cognitive function as compared to placebo without a statistical significance (standardized mean difference; SMD = 0.109; 95% confidence interval; CI -0.04 to 0.26; P=0.14). In subgroup analysis, a 20 IU dose of intranasal insulin induced a significant improvement in cognitive function (SMD = 0.14; 95% CI 0.05 to 0.24; P=0.004), but 40 IU did not show this effect (SMD = -0.01; 95% CI -0.11 to 0.09; P=0.82). ApoE ${\varepsilon}4$ positive patients showed a significant decline in cognitive function as compared to ApoE ${\varepsilon}4$ positive patients in the control group (SMD = -0.213; 95% CI -0.38 to -0.04; P=0.015). Such an effect was not apparent in ApoE ${\varepsilon}4$ negative patients. Gender had no influence on the cognitive outcomes. Conclusion: The results indicate that intranasal insulin may have beneficial effect in improving the cognitive function in Alzheimer's disease patients.

A comparison was made between the effect of subjective stress and that of objective stress on immune function in male medical college students. Interaction between perceived stress, psychopathology and natural killer-cell(NK) activity was assessed during an exam period, non-exam period, and vacation. No significant difference was found in NK activity among these three periods, but scores of perceived stress related to unusual happenings during an exam period and related to interpersonal relationship during vacation were found to have significantly positive correlation with NK activity, respectively. In psychopathology, only scores of anxiety during an exam period had significantly positive correlation with NK activity. These results suggest that immune function is more likely to be affected by subjective stress than objective stress and that subjective stress such as some perceived stress and subclinical level of anxiety may positively affect immune function.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between serum component and immune function in Korean female college students according to the body mass index. There were significant increased in weight, body fat, LBM, TBW, WHR in subjects as their BMI increase(p<0.001). It was found obese group had higher levels of serum components such as total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and Cu levels than those of the normal group. There was a significant positive correlation between HDL-cholesterol level and NK cell number(p<0.01), between A/G ratio and T lympocytes number(p<0.05), between Cu levels and B lympocytes(p<0.01) in normal group. There was a significant positive correlation between TG level and CD4/8 ratio(p<0.001), between and IgG(p<0.001) in obese group.

We establish a new approach for the sums of products of the Euler numbers by using the relation of values at non-positive integers of the representation of the multiple Hurwitz-Euler eta function in terms of the Hurwitz-Euler eta function.

In this article we introduce the sequence spaces $_2c^I_0(f,p)$, $_2c^I(f,p)$ and $_2l^I_{\infty}(f,p)$ for a modulus function f, where $p=(p_k)$ is a sequence of positive reals and study some of the properties of these spaces.

In the complex case, we construct a q-analogue of the Riemann zeta function q(s) and a q-analogue of the Dirichlet L-function L(s,X), which interpolate the 1-analogue Bernoulli numbers. Using the properties of p-adic integrals and measures, we show that Kummer type congruences for the q-analogue Bernoulli numbers are the generalizations of the usual Kummer congruences for the ordinary Bernoulli numbers. We also construct a q0analogue of the p-adic L-function Lp(s, X;q) which interpolates the q-analogue Bernoulli numbers at non positive integers.

This paper proves the following results: Let $f$ be a transcendental entire function, and let $k({\geq})2$ be a positive integer. If $T(r,\;f){\neq}N_{1)}(r,1/f)+S(r,\;f)$, then $ff^{(k)}$ assumes every finite nonzero value infinitely often. Also the case when f is a transcendental meromorphic function has been considered and some results are obtained.

In this paper, we use some theta-function identities involving certain parameters to show how to evaluate Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction R($e^{-2{\pi}\sqrt{n}}$) and S($e^{-{\pi}\sqrt{n}}$) for $n=\frac{1}{5.4^m}$ and $\frac{1}{4^m}$, where m is any positive integer. We give some explicit evaluations of them.
