Abstract 【Objective】To investigate the effect of childhood abuse on serum leptin in schizophrenic patients.【Methods】A total of 112 patients with schizophrenia were enrolled in our hospital from January 2016 to June 2017. The Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) was used to assess the extent and type of child abuse. According to CTQ scores, 112 patients were divided into abused group (n=40) and non-abused group (n=72). The psychiatric symptoms were assessed using the Positive and Negative Symptom Scale (PANSS). Serum levels of leptin, serotonin (5-HT) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) were measured by ELISA.【Results】There were statistically significant differences in the starting age of abuse, and the proportion of male and female victims between the abused and non-abused groups (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in the number of years of education (P>0.05). The total score of CTQ and scores of emotional abuse, affective neglect, sexual abuse, physical abuse and physical neglect were significantly higher in the abused group than those of non-abused group (P<0.05). The total score of PANSS and scores of general pathology, positive symptoms and negative symptoms were significantly higher in the abused group than those of non-abused group (P<0.05). The levels of serum LP and 5-HT in the abused group were significantly lower than those in the non-abused group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in serum BDNF levels between the two groups (P>0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that there was a significant positive correlation between CTQ score and PANSS score (r=0.536, P=0.032<0.05). There was a significant negative correlation between CTQ total score and LP (r=-0.511, P=0.039<0.05).【Conclusion】There are more female schizophrenia than male schizophrenia cases caused by childhood abuse. The earlier age of receiving abuse, the more severe clinical symptoms exist. The difference of serum LP and 5-HT levels between the abuse and non-abuse groups reflects the occurrence of schizophrenia.
