Neurotransmitter-precursor-supplement intervention for detoxified heroin addicts

This study examined the effects of combined administration of tyrosine, lecithin, L-glutamine and L-5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) on heroin withdrawal syndromes and mental symptoms in detoxified heroin addicts. In the cluster-randomized placebo-controlled trial, 83 detoxified heroin addicts were recruited from a detoxification treatment center in Wuhan, China. Patients in the intervention group (n=41) were given the combined treatment with tyrosine, lecithin, L-glutamine and 5-HTP and those in the control group (n=42) were administered the placebo. The sleep status and the withdrawal symptoms were observed daily throughout the study, and the mood states were monitored pre- and post-intervention. The results showed that the insomnia and withdrawal scores were significantly improved over time in participants in the intervention group as compared with those in the control group. A greater reduction in tension-anxiety, depression-dejection, anger-hostility, fatigue-inertia and total mood disturbance, and a greater increase in their vigor-activity symptoms were found at day 6 in the intervention group than in the control group (all P<0.05). It was concluded that the neurotransmitter-precursor-supplement intervention is effective in alleviating the withdrawal and mood symptoms and it may become a supplementary method for patients’ recovery from heroin addiction.

吸毒人群预防AIDS的心理干预和健康教育效果评价

静脉吸毒人群是主要的HIV感染人群,全国累积病例报告显示,约50%是静脉吸毒者,并且因为共用注射器具传播HIV的效率最高,静脉吸毒人群在今后数年内将仍然是我国最主要的高危人群[1].为了探讨适用于吸毒人群的AIDS干预方法,笔者于2008年6至11月,在武汉市强制隔离戒毒所和武汉市劳教局下属的劳教所抽取了1039名吸毒人员,开展了有针对性的健康教育和心理干预,并且在于预后对结果进行评估,现将结果分析如下.
