Abstract

Objective: This study aims to explore the correlation and clinical significance of homocysteine and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels with cognitive function in patients with bipolar disorder (BD) and borderline personality disorder (BPD). Methods: Patients with BD admitted to our hospital from January 2022 to December 2022 were chosen retrospectively. BPD patients were categorized into comorbidity groups, while those without BPD were assigned to non-comorbidity groups, each consisting of 60 cases. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was utilized to assess serum levels of homocysteine (Hcy) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in both patient groups. Clinical symptoms were evaluated by the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) and the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS). Cognitive function was evaluated and compared using the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS). Pearson correlation analysis was performed on the correlation between patients' serum Hcy and hs-CRP levels and HAMD, YMRS, and RBANS scores. Results: In the comorbidity group, patients exhibited significantly elevated serum Hcy and hs-CRP levels compared to the non-comorbidity group (p < 0.05). Patients in the comorbidity group displayed higher HAMD and YMRS scores than those in the non-comorbidity group (p < 0.05). Additionally, attention, speech, visual span, immediate memory, and delayed memory in the comorbidity group were notably lower than in the non-comorbidity group (p < 0.05). The speech, visual span, and immediate memory of RBANS in bipolar depressive patients with comorbid BPD were lower than those in bipolar depressive patients without comorbid BPD (p < 0.05), the speech of RBANS in bipolar manic patients with comorbid BPD was lower than those in bipolar manic patients without comorbid BPD (p < 0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that the expression of Hcy and hs-CRP in the comorbid group was positively correlated with HAMD and YMRS scores, and negatively correlated with attention, speech, visual span, immediate memory, and delayed memory, and these differences were statistically significant (p < 0.05). Conclusion: High serum Hcy and hs-CRP expression levels may regulate inflammatory responses, aggravating cognitive impairment in patients with BD and BPD. Serum Hcy and hs-CRP expression levels are significantly related to cognitive dysfunction. They are expected to guide the prevention and treatment of BD comorbid BPD patients.
