OBJECTIVE: Although estrogens are thought to have a beneficial effect on menopausal symptoms, the role of estrogen in the etiology and treatment of depression in older women remains unclear. The authors examined the relationship between hormone therapy (HT) use and depressive symptom severity. METHODS: Authors report the findings from a cross-sectional analysis of baseline data from the Improving Mood: Promoting Access to Collaborative Treatment (IMPACT) Study, using data from 1,160 women age 60 years and older. RESULTS: Women who were taking HT were likely to be younger, White, married, and to have had at least some college education. They were also more likely to report good or better health and to have taken antidepressant medications in the past 3 months. Although HT use was associated with more severe depressive symptoms in the unadjusted analysis, it was not associated with depression severity in adjusted analyses. Although there was a trend for a differential effect of college education with HT use on depression scores, no significant interaction was found between HT and race. CONCLUSION: There was no evidence to suggest that women HT users differ from non-HT users in depressive symptom severity. 相似文献

Progress in treatments has led to HIV+ patients getting older. Age and HIV are risk factors for neurocognitive impairment (NCI). We explored the role of cognitive reserve (CR) on cognition in a group of virologically suppressed older HIV+ people. We performed a multicenter study, consecutively enrolling asymptomatic HIV+ subjects ≥60 years old during routine outpatient visits. A comprehensive neuropsychological battery was administered. Raw test scores were adjusted based on Italian normative data and transformed into z-scores; NCI was defined according to Frascati criteria. All participants underwent the Brief Intelligence Test (TIB) and the Cognitive Reserve Index (CRI) questionnaire as proxies for CR. Relationships between TIB, CRI, and NCI were investigated by logistic or linear regression analyses. Sixty patients (85 % males, median age 66, median education 12, 10 % HCV co-infected, 25 % with past acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-defining events, median CD4 cells count 581 cells/μL, median nadir CD4 cells count 109 cells/μL) were enrolled. Twenty-four patients (40 %) showed Asymptomatic Neurocognitive Impairment. At logistic regression analysis, only CRI (OR 0.94; 95 % CI 0.91–0.97; P?=?0.001) and TIB (OR 0.80; 95 % CI 0.71–0.90; P?<?0.001) were associated with a lower risk of NCI. Higher CRI and TIB were significantly correlated with a better performance (composite z-score) both globally and at individual cognitive domains. Our findings highlight the role of CR over clinical variables in maintaining cognitive integrity in a virologically suppressed older HIV-infected population. A lifestyle characterized by experiences of mental stimulation may help to cope aging and HIV-related neurodegeneration. 相似文献

HIV-negative individuals with a family history of dementia (FHD) are more likely to develop dementia than those without FHD. Whether FHD increases risk for neuropsychological (NP) impairment in HIV+ persons is unknown. As part of a multisite study into HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND), the authors captured FHD with a free-response, self-report question, and assessed NP performance with a comprehensive battery of tests. The authors examined HIV+ persons with (N=190) and without (N=916) self-reported FHD. Despite the fact that the FHD group had factors typically associated with better NP performance (e.g., higher CD4 counts and estimated verbal IQ), persons with FHD had significantly worse NP ability than those without FHD as measured by a Global Deficit Score. Thus, FHD appears to be a risk factor for HAND; the mechanism(s) underlying how FHD contributes to NP impairment among HIV+ persons warrants study. 相似文献

The aim of our study was to characterize marital relationships in patients with major depression over follow-up. The study included 36 patients (19 men and 17 women) two years after their discharge from hospital. We assessed current depressive symptoms using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS), course of depression during follow-up and marital relationships (general satisfaction, support, consensus, affection, respect, confidence, arguments, sexual life, value system, engagement in household rule) using semistructured interviews and the Revised Dyadic Adjustment Scale (RDAS). In the whole group, irrespective of the course of the illness, sexual impairment and increase in arguments persisted. Other aspects of marital functioning assessed in our study differed significantly between moderately/severely depressed and mildly depressed/non-depressed subjects and between the study and control groups. The influence of the illness on marital functioning differed between men and women. 相似文献

CONTEXT: Cognitive impairment in late-life depression (LLD) is highly prevalent, disabling, poorly understood, and likely related to long-term outcome. OBJECTIVES: To determine the characteristics and determinants of neuropsychological functioning LLD. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study of groups of LLD patients and control subjects. SETTING: Outpatient, university-based depression research clinic. PARTICIPANTS: One hundred patients without dementia 60 years and older who met DSM-IV criteria for current episode of unipolar major depression (nonpsychotic) and 40 nondepressed, age- and education-equated control subjects. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: A comprehensive neuropsychological battery. RESULTS: Relative to control subjects, LLD patients performed poorer in all cognitive domains. More than half exhibited significant impairment (performance below the 10th percentile of the control group). Information processing speed and visuospatial and executive abilities were the most broadly and frequently impaired. The neuropsychological impairments were mediated almost entirely by slowed information processing (beta =.45-.80). Education (beta =.32) and ventricular atrophy (beta =.28) made additional modest contributions to variance in measures of language ability. Medical and vascular disease burden, apolipoprotein E genotype, and serum anticholinergicity did not contribute to variance in any cognitive domain. CONCLUSIONS: Late-life depression is characterized by slowed information processing, which affects all realms of cognition. This supports the concept that frontostriatal dysfunction plays a key role in LLD. The putative role of some risk factors was validated (eg, advanced age, low education, depression severity), whereas others were not (eg, medical burden, age at onset of first depressive episode). Further studies of neuropsychological functioning in remitted LLD patients are needed to parse episode-related and persistent factors and to relate them to underlying neural dysfunction. 相似文献

Fatigue and depressive symptoms are common in HIV-infection. The relationship between these symptoms and neuropsychological functioning is poorly understood, particularly in symptomatic infection/AIDS. This study examined the associations among fatigue, depressive symptoms, subjective neurocognitive complaints, and objective neuropsychological performance in HIV/AIDS. Sixty-eight men with HIV-infection (27 adults with HIV-infection but not AIDS and 41 with AIDS diagnosis) completed a neuropsychological test battery and self-report measures of fatigue (Fatigue Severity Scale), depressive symptoms (Beck Depression Inventory), and subjective neurocognitive complaints (Patient's Assessment of Own Functioning). High levels of fatigue were endorsed by participants. Fatigue severity was related to depressive symptoms but not to AIDS diagnosis or medication status. Verbal learning and motor function was worse in participants with AIDS, but neuropsychological functioning was not significantly correlated with fatigue or depressive symptoms. Subjective neurocognitive complaints were predicted by both depressive symptoms and fatigue. Our results suggest that adults with fatigue and HIV-infection (with or without AIDS) should be screened for depression. Neither fatigue nor depressive symptoms appear to affect neuropsychological functioning in HIV/AIDS. Future research is needed to develop and evaluate instruments and methods to differentiate depression-related fatigue from fatigue that may reflect underlying medical disease. Such research will further the development of effective treatments for fatigue associated with HIV-infection. 相似文献

Age-related naturally occurring depression of hippocampal neurogenesis does not affect trace fear conditioning 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

New neuron production throughout adulthood in granule cell layer (GCL) of rat hippocampus is a well-known phenomenon. A role of new neurons in hippocampal learning has been proposed, but the question is still open. A reduction of neural precursor proliferation in GCL of 2-month-old rats to about 20%, induced by the cytostatic agent methylazoxymethanol, was found to cause impairment in trace conditioning, suggesting a role of immature neurons in this kind of hippocampus-dependent learning (Shors et al., Hippocampus 2002;12:578-584). Neurogenesis decreases with increasing age. In this study, neural precursor proliferation and newborn cell survival were evaluated in GCL of adult rats within a range of ages following development and preceding old age. In 5-month-old rats, neural precursor proliferation was reduced to 57% and newborn cell survival was reduced to 40% in comparison to rats of 2 months of age; in 12-month-old rats, the decrease was to 5 and 4%, respectively. Consistently, the density of immature neurons decreased to 41 and 13% in 5- and 12-month-old rats, respectively. The role of neurogenesis in trace fear conditioning was studied in this natural model of neurogenesis depression. No impairment in trace fear conditioning was found both in 5- and 12-month-old rats in comparison to 2-month-old rats, notwithstanding the decrease of neurogenesis that is marked in 12-month-old rats. This finding shows that a lower rate of neurogenesis is sufficient for learning in 12-month-old rats in comparison to young rats. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Epidemiologic and clinical studies suggest comorbidity between major depressive disorder (MDD) and obesity. To elucidate the impact of weight on the course of depression beyond comorbidity, we investigated psychopathology, attention, neuroendocrinology, weight change, and treatment response in MDD patients, depending on their weight. METHODS: Four hundred eight inpatients with MDD participated in the Munich Antidepressant Response Signature Study, designed to discover biomarkers and genotypes that are predictive for clinical outcome. Psychopathology and anthropometric parameters were monitored weekly in 230 patients. In subsamples, combined dexamethasone-corticotropin-releasing hormone and attention tests were conducted at admission and discharge. One thousand twenty-nine diagnosed matched controls served for morphometric comparisons. RESULTS: Patients with MDD had a significantly higher body mass index (BMI) compared with healthy controls. Patients with high BMI (> or =25) showed a significantly slower clinical response, less improvement in neuroendocrinology and attention, and less weight gain than did patients with normal BMI (18.5 < or = BMI < 25) during antidepressant treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that overweight and obesity characterize a subgroup of MDD patients with unfavorable treatment outcome. 相似文献

Mannitol has a beneficial effect on ischemic injury following a short-duration forebrain ischemic insult in rats. Using the same animal model, we attempted to show that this effect of mannitol could be traced (via an improvement in cerebral blood flow) to a tempering of the collapse in the high-energy phosphates that occurs during the insult. A 10 min ischemic insult was induced by bilateral carotid artery occlusion followed by a reduction of the blood pressure to 50 mmHg through removal of blood via a tail catheter. 31P NMR spectroscopy was used to monitor the energy state and the pH prior to, during, and after the insult. The studies show that mannitol administered in doses of 0.25 g kg-1 or 1.0 g kg-1 prior to the insult has no significant effect on the high-energy phosphate levels or on the cerebral pH during ischemia, or on their post-ischemia recovery. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether social functional recovery precedes, runs in parallel with, or lags behind symptomatic recovery from major depressive episodes. METHOD: Psychiatric out-patients or in-patients aged 18 years or over, diagnosed with unipolar major depressive disorder according to DSM-IV, and who had received no antidepressant medication in the preceding 3 months were identified at 23 collaborating centres from all over Japan (n=95). They were rated with the 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD) and the Global Assessment Scale (GAS) monthly, and with the Social Adjustment Scale-Self Report (SAS-SR) 6-monthly. Remission was defined as 7 or less on the HRSD and recovery as 2 or more consecutive months of remission. RESULTS: The GAS ratings showed continuous amelioration from baseline to remission, remission to recovery, and after sustained recovery. The same trends were observed for SAS-SR scores. CONCLUSION: We can expect further amelioration in social adjustment after symptomatic remission and recovery of major depressive episodes. 相似文献

Disturbances in sexual functioning in patients with endogenous mental disorders are frequently reported. The aim of the study was to estimate the occurrence of sexual disfunctions in patients hospitalised for major depression (unipolar affective disorder). The investigations covered 53 persons remaining in stable partnership. Apart from the assessment of psychological state, depressive symptoms and the course of treatment, we analysed the quality of relations with the partner, sexual satisfaction, willingness to and frequency of sexual intercourse, satisfaction with oneself as a sexual partner. The obtained results indicate that sexual problems must not be neglected in treatment of depressive patients. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to compare health-related quality of life (HR-QoL), disability/work productivity, and health care utilization in a variety of medical disorders with and without comorbid major depressive disorder (MDD) in the general population. METHODS: Twelve-month MDD (Composite International Diagnostic Interview) diagnosis was determined among 4181 participants from a community sample. Medical diagnoses (respiratory, cardiovascular, allergic, endocrine/metabolic, gastrointestinal, and neurological diseases) were made after medical examination. HR-QoL was evaluated with the MOS-SF-36. Outpatient doctor visits and disability/work productivity were assessed by self-report. RESULTS: Comorbid MDD was associated with a lower SF-36 mental summary score in all medical diagnoses and with a lower physical summary score in comorbid allergic and neurological disorders. The number of coexisting medical disorders was strongly related to lower physical and mental summary scores in cases without comorbid depression. The number of outpatient doctor visits increased by 42% when any of the medical disorders without comorbid MDD was present, and comorbid MDD was associated with a further 24-42% increase, depending on the medical disorder. Comorbid MDD was strongly associated with lower full-time working status (37.1% with MDD vs. 51.0% without MDD) and with a significant increase in disability days (45%) in the presence of any medical disorder. CONCLUSIONS: Findings have consequences for diagnostic and treatment procedures, as well as in relation to the importance of the number of medical disorders in future studies. 相似文献

Treatment with a CRH-1-receptor antagonist (R121919) does not affect weight or plasma leptin concentration in patients with major depression 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Weight gain during treatment with psychotropic drugs is frequently observed and is assumed to be responsible for non-compliance and for an elevated risk to develop a number of somatic co-morbidities including cardiovascular disorders and type 2 diabetes. Absence of weight inducing effects is therefore a major objective for the development of new compounds. Recently, R121919, the first corticotropin releasing hormone receptor 1 (CRH1R) antagonist, was tested in major depression. Clinical efficacy, safety, and tolerability of this compound could be demonstrated. Since CRH is discussed to be involved in the regulation of appetite and weight, directly and via interaction with leptin, CRH1R antagonists are suspected to influence body weight. Effects of 30 days of treatment with the CRH1R antagonist R121919 on weight and leptin levels in 20 patients suffering from major depression were investigated. No significant weight changes during treatment with R121919 were observed. Furthermore, noeffects on plasma leptin concentrations were found. We conclude that treatment with the CRH1R antagonist R121919 does not affect weight or plasma leptin concentrations in patients with major depression. Together with previous findings indicating safety, tolerability, and clinical efficacy CRH1R antagonists are highly promising as a new treatment option in depression. 相似文献

Family functioning and major depression: an overview 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
The authors review the evidence supporting the idea that the family plays a major role in the development and course of major depression. They find that the family pathology evident during an acute depressive episode continues after the patient's remission; that the course of depressive illness, relapse rates, and suicidal behavior are all affected by family functioning; and that children of depressed parents are at high risk for psychopathology. The authors explore unresolved issues regarding our understanding of the factors mediating the interaction between major depression and family functioning, concluding that there is evidence to support family and marital interventions, particularly in the treatment of depressed women. 相似文献

Neuropsychological functioning, in relation to positive and negative symptoms in psychotic major depression (PMD), has not been as thoroughly studied as it has been in schizophrenia. Thus, the current study investigated the associations between positive and negative symptoms with cognitive functioning, with an emphasis on verbal memory in PMD. Attention, working memory, and the executive functioning domains were analyzed among 49 PMD participants. Positive symptoms did not correlate significantly with any measures of verbal memory but did correlate with one measure of attention, working memory, and executive functioning. Negative symptoms correlated significantly with two California Verbal Learning Test-II (CVLT-II) measures of verbal memory and three measures of executive function. Hierarchical regressions were conducted to determine if negative symptoms could predict verbal memory performance after controlling for depression. Of the two verbal memory measures, negative symptoms significantly explained additional variance for CVLT Recognition, but not for CVLT Trials 1-5 total score. Our results provide some evidence that, consistent with the schizophrenia literature, negative symptoms contributed more to verbal memory deficits in PMD than positive symptoms, regardless of depression severity. 相似文献
