This study hypothesized that excessive cadmium is related to clinical pain, depression, and cognitive impairment, and that related indicators will improve after cadmium is eliminated.
This study will combine the research progress of the innovative drug GMDTC, the mechanism of nerve damage caused by Cd2+ disrupting Ca2+ homeostasis, imaging technology and analysis methods, and the basis of our previous research work to explore the effect of the chemical Class 1 innovative drug GMDTC on the neuropsychiatric behavior of people with excessive cadmium. mechanism of action. This study is not limited to the study of the mechanism of neurotoxicity after Cd2+ deposition. It will also clarify the clinical efficacy of the innovative drug GMDTC in removing Cd2+ deposition in the brain and reducing damage, which is expected to open up new avenues for the treatment of cadmium neurotoxicity. This study hypothesized that excessive cadmium is related to clinical pain, depression, and cognitive impairment, and that related indicators will improve after cadmium is eliminated.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
84
1\) Test the blood and urine components of all subjects to evaluate the damage to kidney function caused by excessive cadmium. 2) Conduct MRI examinations on all subjects to evaluate changes in brain functional connectivity, metabolism, and structure after excessive cadmium exposure. 3) Conduct bone density examinations on all subjects to evaluate changes in bone density after excessive cadmium exposure. (3) Clinical psychiatric assessment: All subjects will be assessed on their mental and psychological conditions such as pain, cognitive function, depression, anxiety, mania, sleep quality, and suicide risk.

RECRUITINGCadmium load
To comprehensively assess the urinary cadmium levels in volunteers, blood cadmium and urinary cadmium levels were measured at different time points.
Time frame: Baseline, after 2 weeks, after 6 weeks
McGill Pain Questionnaire Short Form (MPQ)
Pain was measured through the McGill Pain Questionnaire Short Form (MPQ),The scale will include the unabbreviated scale title, the minimum and maximum values, and higher scores mean a worse outcome.
Time frame: Baseline, after 2 weeks, after 6 weeks
MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB)
The internationally recognized MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB) for objective assessment of cognitive function.Cognitive scores for all individuals will be calculated using the MCCB software, yielding corrected scores for each test as well as an overall cognitive score.
Time frame: Baseline, after 2 weeks, after 6 weeks
The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD)
mental and psychological status was assessed with the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD).The scale will include the unabbreviated scale title, the minimum and maximum values, and higher scores mean a worse outcome.
Time frame: Baseline, after 2 weeks, after 6 weeks
One of the early indicators of kidney injury--β2-MG
β2-microglobulin(β2-MG).Clinically, the measurement of β2-MG concentration in urine provides an early, reliable, and sensitive indicator for assessing renal function and diagnosing cadmium toxicity.
Time frame: Baseline, after 2 weeks, after 6 weeks
Hamilton Anxiety Scale(HAMA)
The HAMA scale will be used to assess the anxiety levels of volunteers, with higher scores indicating more severe anxiety.

One of the early indicators of kidney injury--NAG
N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase,NAG. Urinary N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) activity is one of the sensitive and specific indicators for renal tubular lesions and can serve as an early diagnostic marker for tubular damage, even providing earlier predictive value than urinary albumin.
