1. Twelve patients with schizophrenia according to RDC participated in a double-blind study, comparing two dose levels of perphenazine, 16 or 32 mg, during four weeks. 2. The patients were assessed with a subscale to CPRS and global scores, measuring improvement of regular intervals during four weeks. 3. Blood samples for assay of plasma perphenazine were collected once a week. 4. These results are in many respects in accordance with earlier published data with perphenazine, that is a good clinical response is achieved with a plasma concentration of perphenazine between 1-5 nmol/L. 5. No incidence of severe adverse symptoms were observed.  相似文献

Purpose: Neuropeptide-S (NPS) is a novel 20-amino acid peptide, mainly expressed in the central nervous system and endocrine tissues. NPS has been linked to anxiety and fear-related behaviors. The association of NPS with depression in a human population has not been previously examined. The aim of the current study was to explore the potential association of NPS with clinical depression and comorbid anxiety.

Materials and methods: Seventy-nine patients diagnosed with major depressive disorder and seventy-eight controls were included in the study. The Hamilton Depression Scale (HAM-D) and Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAM-A) were used to measure depression and anxiety levels, respectively. Venous blood samples were obtained to measure plasma NPS levels.

Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the patients and controls in terms of sex, marital status, and smoking status. Plasma NPS levels were also not significantly different between the patients and controls. In patients with major depressive disorder, HAM-A and HAM-D scores were significantly higher than those of controls. No correlation was found between plasma NPS levels and age, body mass index (BMI), median HAM-A scores, and median HAM-D scores.

Conclusions: Despite a significantly high level of comorbid anxiety among the patient group, we found no relationship between plasma NPS levels and depressive symptomatology.  相似文献

In a double-blind study of depressed patients treated with imipramine hydrochloride, levels of imipramine and desipramine were measured in plasma and in CSF. Levels of both drugs in CSF were approximately 10% of plasma levels, but the levels in the two body fluids were highly correlated. The levels of both drugs were approximately equal in plasma, but desipramine predominated in CSF (imipramine/desipramine ratio of 0.8). The imipramine-induced alteration in CSF levels of the serotonin metabolite (5-hydroxy-indoleacetic acid [5HIAA]) correlated with imipramine levels but not with desipramine. For the group of patients showing a clear antidepressant response, the mean drug levels were nearly double those of the nonresponder group, a difference that did not quite reach statistical significance in this relatively small sample. The desipramine levels showed no responder-nonresponder difference, while the ratio of imipramine/desipramine was significantly higher among the responders. On the average this particular patient group had relatively low pretreatment levels of 5HIAA in CSF, an observation that may partially account for the relatively low overall response rate to imipramine.  相似文献

Alterations in the immune system may have importance for the pathophysiology of depression. Several studies have linked increased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines to depression and depressive symptoms. There is growing evidence that antidepressive treatment may influence the production of pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokines. In the present study we aimed to find associations between the levels of soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R), interleukin-8 (IL-8) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and the response to antidepressant treatment in patients with major depression. Our study group consisted of 100 patients (35 males and 65 females) who were treated with escitalopram 10-20 mg/day for 12 weeks. Responders and non-responders were identified according to Montgomery-Asberg's Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) scores. The levels of cytokines were measured at baseline and at 4th and 12th week of the treatment and compared to cytokine concentrations in healthy volunteers (n=45; 19 males and 26 females). Our data indicated that a higher level of TNF-alpha might predict a non-response to treatment with escitalopram and that changes in concentrations of sIL-2R during the treatment were different in responders and non-responders.  相似文献

We investigated the effects of add-on lamotrigine treatment on plasma glutamate (Glu) levels, in 29 epileptic patients. Plasma Glu levels were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography at baseline and at 1 and 3 months post-treatment. In patients with a seizure reduction of ≥66% a decrease of Glu at month 1 was noted, followed by return to baseline levels at month 3. In the remaining patients a gradual increase of Glu was noted throughout the 3 months of the study. The above findings indicate that an excellent clinical response to add-on lamotrigine may be characterized by a statistically significant, yet transient decrease of plasma Glu levels, while increasing Glu levels may accompany a response that is moderate at best. The combination of lamotrigine with valproate was more frequent in patients with excellent clinical response and tended to result in glutamate decrease.  相似文献

Relationships between pretreatment neurotransmitter metabolite levels and response to imipramine and amitriptyline were studied in 104 depressed patients. Normal values for urinary norepinephrine and low values for urinary MHPG were associated with greater incidence of drug response in bipolar, but not unipolar, patients. For unipolar, but not bipolar, patients low CSF 5-HIAA and high urinary metanephrine values were associated with a greater incidence of drug response. These data indicate that the pretreatment functional state of catecholamine and serotonin systems is associated with type of response to drug treatment. The authors present hypotheses about the association of alterations in serotonin and norepinephrine systems and definable subtypes of depression.  相似文献

The relationship between serotonin (5-HT) levels and [3H]5-HT binding in discrete hypothalamic areas was examined in separate groups of animals at various times, following unilateral intrahypothalamic injection of 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine (5,7-DHT). Seven days post-5,7-DHT lesion, 5-HT levels were significantly decreased in both the ipsilateral and contralateral ventromedial and dorsomedial hypothalamic nuclei (VMN, DMN). In the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA), 5-HT levels were significantly decreased only ipsilaterally. Fifty days postlesion, 5-HT levels in the ipsilateral VMN remained significantly below sham, while the DMN and LHA returned to sham values. Seven days after 5,7-DHT there was a significant increase in [3H]5-HT labeling densities in the ipsilateral and contralateral ventromedial hypothalamic area as well as in the ipsilateral LHA. In contrast, in the dorsomedial hypothalamic area there was no increase in [3H]5-HT binding. Fifty days postlesion, no significant differences in [3H]5-HT binding between 5,7-DHT and sham were observed in any areas examined. This data provides further evidence for the regeneration of 5-HT fibers in the hypothalamus and demonstrates that the relationship between [3H]5-HT binding and 5-HT levels varies from one hypothalamic area to another.  相似文献

To explore the possible role of serotonin (5-HT) in the etiology of schizophrenia, platelet 5-HT concentrations were determined in 41 schizophrenic (and schizoaffective, mainly schizophrenic) patients diagnosed by the RDC and 34 normal controls. There was a significant difference between the patient and control groups with the 16 paranoid, 11 undifferentiated, and 8 schizo-affective depressed patients having significantly higher mean platelet 5-HT concentrations than the controls. An analysis of variance considering the effect of race, sex, and diagnosis demonstrated a significant difference between black patients and black controls but no significant difference between white patients and white controls. Within the patient sample, platelet 5-HT concentrations were positively correlated with severity of auditory hallucinations (on the PSE) and negatively correlated with lack of insight (on the PSE) and conceptual disorganization (on the BPRS). In a subsample of 21 patients, there was no relationship between platelet 5-HT and CT findings of either enlarged ventricles or cortical atrophy.  相似文献

Homovanillic acid (HVA), 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA), and 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylethylene glycol (MHPG) were measured in lumbar cerebrospinal fluid from a group of patients ranging in age from 1 week to 45 years. Quantitation of these biogenic amine metabolites was achieved using a gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric technique. The subjects had various specific disorders of the nervous system, though patients with movement disorders and biochemical defects known to affect the neurotransmitter systems examined in this study were specifically avoided. The results indicated a strong inverse correlation in children between CSF HVA and 5-HIAA concentrations and age. The decline in these metabolites with age appeared to be exponential. No significant age effect was observed for MHPG. The results indicate the importance of comparing CSF metabolite levels in children with values in age-matched controls.  相似文献

Alpha[C-11]methyl-L-tryptophan (AMT) is an analog of tryptophan used with positron emission tomography for the measurement of serotonin synthesis in humans. Several attempts have been made to estimate the serotonin synthesis rate from plasma and brain kinetic data of AMT using the same model as that applied for the measurement of the glucose metabolic rate with 2-deoxyglucose. However, although AMT is similar to 2-deoxyglucose with regard to an irreversible pool of tracer uptake, there are important differences between the two tracers and how the model can be applied. These differences include transport at the blood-brain barrier and the presence of a large unmetabolized pool of AMT, precluding the method from providing the absolute serotonin synthesis rate. Despite this limitation, the unidirectional uptake rate constant (K-complex) values have been found to be stable within an individual, and the rank order of regional brain values for K-complex are consistent with the rank order for serotonin content in human brain. Furthermore, changes in K-complex with age, gender, and disease states are consistent with previously reported biochemical measurements of serotonin in brain tissue. The authors suggest, therefore, that the K-complex is an index of serotonin synthesis which they have termed the "serotonin synthesis capacity." The authors argue that AMT is a useful tracer for study of serotonergic mechanisms, and under certain pathologic states, of metabolism by means of the kynurenine pathway.  相似文献

Selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors, such as escitalopram, are currently the treatment of choice for patients with panic disorder. The panic response to intravenous cholecystokinin tetrapeptide, a potentially useful paradigm for volunteer translational studies, has so far not been investigated in healthy man after respective pre-treatment. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, within subject cross-over design 30 healthy young men, 15 each with the long/long or short/short genotype for the serotonin transporter linked polymorphic region, were pre-treated with 10 mg/d of escitalopram orally for six weeks and then challenged with 50 μg of cholecystokinin tetrapeptide. The primary outcome measure was the increase of Acute Panic Inventory ratings by cholecystokinin tetrapeptide. The increase of anxiety, tension and stress hormone secretion were secondary outcome measures. A significant treatment by genotype effect on the increases of Acute Panic Inventory ratings ermerged. Panic induced by cholecystokinin tetrapeptide was significantly more pronounced in the short/short genotype subjects under escitalopram vs. placebo pre-treatment. With the exception of significantly elevated serum prolactin after escitalopram, no effects in the secondary outcome measures were detected. Contrary to our expectation, no inhibitory effect of escitalopram upon panic symptoms elicited by choleystokinin tetrapeptide could be demonstrated in healthy men. These findings do not support the potential usefulness of this panic model for proof-of-concept studies. The biological underpinnings of the increased panic symptoms after escitalopram in our volunteers with short/short genotype need further research.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study was to assess the relationship between plasma haloperidol and clinical response. METHOD: Sixty-nine newly admitted drug-free schizophrenic men were randomly assigned to receive haloperidol, 5, 10, or 20 mg daily for 4 weeks, and clinical response was measured at the end of the fixed-dose period. Haloperidol was assayed by a sensitive and specific radioimmunoassay. RESULTS: The authors found a curvilinear relationship between clinical response and plasma haloperidol during fixed-dose treatment, with an apparent optimum between 5 and 12 ng/ml. When plasma levels above 12 ng/ml were lowered to the 5-12 ng/ml range, all patients improved to varying degrees and no patient deteriorated. When plasma levels of nonresponders within this therapeutic window were raised above 12 ng/ml (as in routine practice), they, on balance, deteriorated in that they became more dysphoric. With the 20-mg dose, half the patients had plasma levels above 12 ng/ml. CONCLUSIONS: In this sample of newly admitted schizophrenic men, optimal clinical response occurred with a plasma haloperidol range of 5-12 ng/ml.  相似文献
