抑郁发作自杀未遂患者脑源性神经营养因子水平及其相关因素研究

Objective To investigate the possible role of brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)in the pathophysiology of attempted suicide in depressive episode patients.Methods The subjects were 23 depressive episode patients who had recently attempted suicide.24 depressive episode patients without suicide attempt.and 30 sex-age-and education matched healthy controls.The Hamihon Depression Rating Scale-24 items(HAMD24),Beck Helpless Rating Scale(BHS)and Self-rating Idea of Suicide Scale (SIOSS)was used to evaluate the severitv of symptoms.The seruln level of BDNF was detected with sandwich ELISA.Pearson correlation coefficients wag used to measure the correlations between serum BDNF and the related illness variables.Results There were significant difierences in the serum level of BDNF between patients with attempted suicide,pailents without suicide attempt and normal controls(F=21.927,P＜0.05).Post hoc analysis showed the serum BDNF levels in patients with attempted suicide [(57 ±16)ng/L]were lower than that in patients without[(75±28)ns/L;P＜0.05],and were lower in patients without suicide attempt[(75 ±28)ng/L]than that in normal controls[(111 ±39)ng/L;P＜0.01].In patients with attempted suicide,the serum BDNF was negatively correlated to the duration of depressive episode(r=-0.541,P=0.008),the mean BHS score(r=-0.494,P=0.017)and the mean SIOSSscore(r=-0.754.P=0.000).Conclusion The results suggest that the decreased serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor is related to the pathophysiology of attempted suicide in depressive episode patients.

Levels of serum homocysteine in depressive patients——Self-correlation factor analysis and comparison with healthy subjects

BACKGROUND： Data indicate that the levels of serum homocysteine in depressive patients are higher than those in normal subjects. OBJECTIVE： To investigate the levels of serum homocysteine in patients with major depressive disorder, to determine whether serum homocysteine levels differ with sex, family history, or drug treatment, and to compare depressive patients with normal subjects. DESIGN： Non-randomized concurrent control trial. SETTING： Mental Heath Center of Shandong Province. PARTICIPANTS： Forty in-patients （23 males and 17 females, 18-63 years old） with major depressive disorder were selected from the Mental Health Center of Shandong Province from January to October 2006. All selected patients met the depressive diagnostic standard of Chinese Classification of Mental Disorder （3^rd Edition, CCMD-3）, and total scores evaluated by the 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression （HRSD） were ≥ 20. Meanwhile, 36 healthy subjects （20 males and 16 females, 18-60 years old） were enrolled as controls; their total 17-item HRSD scores were ≤ 7. All selected subjects provided consent, and the study was approved by the local ethics committee. METHODS： Fasting venous blood （3 mL） was drawn in both groups at 8：00 in the morning. The levels of serum homocysteine were determined by a fluorescence polarization immunoassay （FPIA）. The 17-item HRSD was also compiled from the patients when entering groups. The higher the scores were, the more severe the depression was. Enumeration data for both groups were compared by Chi-square test, measurement data were compared by t-test, and correlations were detected using Pearson and Spearman correlation analysis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： ① Levels of serum homocysteine; ② incidence of hyperhomocysteinemia （HHcy）; ③ correlation between HRSD17 scores and levels of serum homocysteine in depressive patients. RESULTS： Forty depressive patients and 36 control subjects were included in the final analysis without any loss of participants.
