抑郁症患者与不明原因胸痛的关联性探讨

目的:分析抑郁症与不明原因胸痛间的关联性及其可能机制,为临床疾病的治疗提供参考依据。方法:纳入2012年6月至2014年5月四川省南充精神卫生中心精神科收治的不明原因胸痛患者35例,作为观察组,另选取35例来院进行常规体检的健康志愿者作为对照组,比较两组的抑郁量表评分、抑郁症发生率、血清C反应蛋白(CRP)、白细胞介素6(IL-6)、五羟色胺(5-HT)及外周血中的CD4+、CD8+含量。结果:与对照组比较,观察组的CRP、IL-6、5-HT、CD4+均低于对照组;且观察组的CD8+、抑郁症发生率(31.43%)、轻中度抑郁及重度抑郁患者比例均高于对照组水平,组间对比差异显著(P<0.05)。结论:抑郁症与不明原因胸痛存在一定相关性,推断可能与CRP、5-HT、IL-6等细胞因子有关,也可能与免疫抑制过程有关,在临床诊治中需引起重视。     

Family Caregivers' Subjective Caregiving Burden,Quality of Life,and Depressive Symptoms Are Associated With Terminally Ill Cancer Patients' Distinct Patterns of Conjoint Symptom Distress and Functional Impairment in Their Last Six Months of Life

Context

Family caregivers constitute a critical component of the end-of-life care system with considerable cost to themselves. However, the joint association of terminally ill cancer patients' symptom distress and functional impairment with caregivers' subjective caregiving burden, quality of life (QOL), and depressive symptoms remains unknown.

医学生抑郁情绪与家庭及生活事件的相关性研究

目的 探讨医学专业大学生抑郁情绪与家庭及生活事件的相关性，为早期干预提供科学理论依据。方法 采用自拟量表对482名医学专业在校大学生调查，并做影响因素分析。结果 大学生无抑郁或极轻微192人占39．8％；轻度209人占43．4％；中度58人占12％；重度23人占4．8％。生源地、父亲文化程度、专业满意度、人际关系的敏感、学习压力的大小、丧失因子、受惩罚因子和健康适应因子对大学生抑郁情绪的产生有显著影响，而性别、家庭类型和经济情况对医学专业大学生抑郁情绪产生关系不大（P〉0．05）。结论 要重视学生中存在的抑郁情绪问题，采取积极有效措施帮助学生消除抑郁情绪。     

Amisulpride in the short-term treatment of depressive and physical symptoms in cancer patients during chemotherapies

Introduction Amisulpride is a substituted benzamide that, at low doses, selectively blocks D2 and D3 presynaptic dopamine receptors, enhancing dopaminergic transmission in frontal cortex and limbic areas. Many clinical studies versus placebo, tricyclic antidepressants and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors showed amisulpride antidepressant effect, supporting its safety and rapid onset of action. In oncological population, depression is quite frequent and difficult to treat because of the particular sensitivity of cancer patients to the antidepressants’ side effects. Goals of work The aims of this study were to evaluate efficacy, safety and tolerability of low doses of amisulpride (50 mg) in oncological, depressed patients during chemotheraphy. Materials and methods One hundred six consecutive cancer outpatients with depressive symptoms were treated in a prospective, intention to treat, 4-week study, and were evaluated in single-blind with Montgomery Asberg rating scale for depression (MADRS), clinical global impression (CGI) and dosage record treatment emergent symptom scale (DOTES) to assess side effects of treatment. Main results After 4 weeks of treatment, scores of MADRS and CGI significantly improved (p < 0.002; p < 0.001, respectively), with a reduction of depressive symptoms concerning both emotional (such as apparent sadness, reported sadness, inner tension, etc.) and physical cluster (such as lack of appetite, reduction in weight, tiredness and insomnia) with good tolerability (only two patients dropped out). Conclusions This study is the first trial on the use of amisulpride in a cohort of oncological, depressed patients during chemotherapy. Amisulpride demonstrated high efficacy and safety. Controlled studies are needed to confirm these preliminary data.

目的　了解精神病人和正常人戒烟前后精神状况的变化及差异性 ,探讨戒烟措施。方法　对 71例精神病人和 5 0例正常人戒烟前及戒烟后 1周分别应用汉密顿焦虑量表 (HAMA)、汉密顿抑郁量表 (HAMD)、焦虑自评量表 (SAS)、抑郁自评量表 (SDS)、简明精神病量表 (BPRS )进行测评。结果　精神病人强制性戒烟前HAMA、HAMD、SAS、SDS、BPRS分值分别为 (8.2 1± 6 .4 1)、(7.6 4± 5 .71)、(36 .81± 7.14 )、(33.71± 7.1)、(2 9.4 5± 8.4 7) ;戒烟后HAMA、HAMD、SAS、SDS、BPRS分值分别为 (16 .4 5± 6 .34)、(19.73± 8.71)、(5 8.1± 12 .12 )、(5 6 .31± 11.4 )、(37.32± 7.95 ) ;戒烟前后 5种量表分值变化与正常人戒烟前后分值变化比较有极显著性差异(P <0 .0 1)。结论　对精神病人强制性戒烟可引起明显的情绪反应 ,应适宜控制病人吸烟 ,建立一个合理的管理制度     

抗抑郁治疗对功能性消化不良的辅助治疗作用

功能性消化不良是指具有上腹痛、上腹胀，早饱、暖气、食欲不振、恶心、呕吐等上腹不适症状，经检查排除引起这些症状的器质性疾病的一组临床综合征。在经济、科技、工业化高度发展的社会，已经成为危害人们健康状况和生活质量的最常见的消化系统疾病，因而受到广泛重视。欧美的流行病学调查表明，普通人群中有消化不良症状者占19％-41％，在我国人群中总的患病率为20％。普通门诊中占20％-40％，在消化专科中占60％-70％。FD的发病机制复杂，部分患者存在精神心理的异常，本文通过对FD患者进行抑郁自评量表（zuag评分）评定和抗抑郁药物治疗，旨在探讨二者关系及抗抑郁治疗FD的疗效。     

Limitations of current medical treatments for depression: Disturbed circadian rhythms as a possible therapeutic target

The proportion of diagnosed depressives prescribed antidepressants has increased markedly over the last 20 years, mainly following the introduction of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. However, currently available antidepressants have notable limitations, relating to their only moderate efficacy relative to placebo, relatively slow onset of action, possible withdrawal symptoms, and problems of compliance. Sleep disturbances are often used to identify newly presenting depressive patients, and may be part of a more general alteration of bodily rhythms. There are links between pharmacological treatments and circadian rhythms in depression, which might represent another, new option for the development of a therapeutic approach to depression treatment. Many antidepressants affect sleep, some are sedative, and others have been used specifically in severely insomniac depressives. Disturbances in circadian rhythms may be an integral part of depressive mechanisms, and normalising them via an innovative mechanism of antidepressant action may be a fruitful avenue in the search for improved antidepressant agents.
