ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effect of olanzapine combined with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS) in the treatment of phonism dominated schizophrenia.Methods From August 2015 to November 2016,112 patients with phonism based schizophrenia in Ningbo Kangning Hospital were selected in the research . According to the different treatment ,the patients were divided into observation group and control group ,with 56 cases in each group.The observation group was treated with olanzapine combined with rTMS chemotherapy ,the control group was treated with olanzapine.Before and after treatment,the positive and negative symptom scale ( PANSS) score, Wisconsin Card Sorting Test ( WCST) score of the two groups were observed.The clinical efficacy was compared between the two groups.Results Before treatment,there were no statistically significant differences in PANSS score and WCST score between the two groups ( all P＞0.05).After treatment for 1 week,2 weeks,4 weeks,the PANSS scores of the two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment (F＝170.710,106.028,28.530,30.328, 25.806,10.832,203.342,372.253,all P＜0.05).The PANSS scores decreased more significantly in the observation group.After treatment for 1,2,4 weeks,the scores of positive symptoms in the observation group were (25.95 ±3.50)points, (24.72 ±4.50)points and(16.51 ±2.70)points,respectively,which were significantly lower than those in the control group[(27.27 ±2.03)points,(27.80 ±5.37)points,(19.53 ±3.07)points](t＝2.441,3.290,5.528,all P＜0.05).After treatment for 1 week,2 weeks,4 weeks,the continuous response scores in the observation group were (45.62 ±5.41)points,(44.69 ±4.91) points,(35.89 ±3.30) points,respectively,which were significantly lower than those in the control group[(50.61 ±5.35)points,(46.80 ±5.14)points,(42.70 ±5.04)points](t＝4.908, 2.221,8.459,all P＜0.05).The scores of continuous errors in the observation group were (49.47 ±4.59) points, (46.53 ±6.05) points and (36.35 ±5.18) points,respectively,which were lower than those in the control group [(83.1 ±6.58)points,(81.85 ±6.70)points and (76.86 ±76.86)points](t＝31.369,29.279,38.464,all P＜0.05).After treatment for 1 week,2 weeks,the classification scores in the observation group were (4.21 ±2.03) points and (5.35 ±2.23) points,respectively,which were significantly higher than those in the control group [(3.35 ±1.24)points and (3.95 ±1.24)points] (t＝2.705,4.106,all P＜0.05).The effective rate was 91.0%in the observation group ,which was 89.2%in the control group,there was no statistically significant difference (χ2＝0.022,P＞0.05).Conclusion Olanzapine combined with rTMS is effective in the treatment of schizophrenia ,and olanzapine combined with rTMS is more effective in improving the cognitive ability of patients than olanzapine alone .
ABSTRACT
Objective To examine the relationship between quetiapine serum concentration,dose,therapeu-tic efficacy and side effects in male patients with schizophrenia.Methods Sixty-three male patients with schizo-phrenia were collected.They were treated openly for 8 weeks with quetiapine,the dose was adjusted according to clini-cal improvement and tolerance.The plasma quetiapine concentrations,therapeutic efficacy and adverse drug reactions were observed after the 4 -week treatment period,and at the end of the 8 weeks of the treatment.Results After 4 weeks,the serum concentration had significant correlation with age,the disease duration and education level.After 8 weeks,there was significant correlation between serum concentration and age.We found a correlation between dose and serum concentration of quetiapine,and no relationship between serum concentration and PANSS scores.Side effects were correlated with 4 weeks′serum concentrations.Conclusion Quetiapine is effective for male patients with schizophrenia.Age,quetiapine dose and side effects have significant correlations with the serum concentration.It appears that plasma quetiapine concentration has no effects on therapeutic efficacy.
