缓解期精神分裂症患者及其一级非患病亲属神经系统软体征比较研究

目的探讨缓解期的精神分裂症患者及其非患病一级亲属神经系统软体征(neurological soft signs,NSS)的差异。方法使用中文版剑桥神经科检查(the Cambridge neurological inventory,CNI)软体征测试分量表对86例缓解期精神分裂症患者(患者组)、86名患者的非患病一级亲属(亲属组)和86名健康对照(对照组)进行NSS的评估。结果与亲属组比较,患者组NSS总分、运动协调因子及感觉整合因子得分更高(P0.01)。患者组与对照组比较,患者组的NSS总分、运动协调因子得分和感觉整合因子的得分更高(P0.01)。亲属组与对照组比较,亲属组的NSS总分和运动协调因子得分更高(P0.01)。结论缓解期的精神分裂症患者及其非患病一级亲属较正常对照有更多神经系统软体征,而患者的神经系统软体征多于其非患病一级亲属。神经系统软体征中的运动协调因子可能为精神分裂症潜在的内表型。

Comparative study of neurological soft signs in remittent schizophrenia and non-psychotic first-degree relatives

Objective To examine the difference of neurological soft signs (NSS) among the remittent schizophrenia patients,first-degree non-psychotic relatives of schizophrenia patients and healthy controls.Methods The Cambridge Neurological Inventory (CNI) (the Chinese version) was administered to 86 remittent schizophrenia patients (patient group),86 first-degree non-psychotic relatives of schizophrenia patients (relative group) and 86 healthy controls (control group).Results Compared with relative group,NSS total-score,the subscore of motor coordination and sensory integration were significantly higher in patient group (P＜0.01).Compared with control group,NSS total-score,the subscore of motor coordination and sensory integration were significantly higher in patient group (P＜0.01).Compared with control group,NSS total-score and the subscore of motor coordination were significantly higher in relative group (P＜0.01).Conclusions The levels of NSS in remittent schizophrenia patients and their first-degree non-psychotic relatives are higher than normal control,and the patients have more NSS than their relatives.The motor coordination nay be a potential endophenotype for schizophrenia.
