ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of Simoyinzi Decoction on serum 5-HT and inflammatory factors in the treatment of perimenopausal women with early onset of severe depression.Methods 82 cases of perimenopausal women with primary severe depression were selected and randomly divided into 2 groups, 41 cases of each group.Control group received basic medicine treatment, the research group received Simoyinzi Decoction treatment,serum neurotransmitter, inflammatory factor and sex hormone levels were detected before and after the treatment, and clinical symptom score and clinical curative effect were compared after the treatment.Results Compared with before treatment, levels of noradrenaline norepinephrine(NE), 5 serotonin(5-HT), dopamine(DA), glutamate(Glu) and N-methyl-D-aspartate(Asp) increased in 2 groups after treatment, levels of gamma amino acid (GABA) and glycine(Gly) decreased, levels of follicle stimulating hormone(FSH) and luteinizing hormone(LH) decreased, levels of estradiol(E2) increased, levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-αand CRP decreased, scores of HAMD and Kupperman decreased, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05), compared with the control group, levels of NE, 5-HT, Glu and Asp in the research group after treatment were higher, levels of GABA and Gly were lower, levels of FSH and LH were lower, levels of E2 were higher, levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-αand CRP were lower, and scores of HAMD and Kupperman were lower, the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05), and the effective rate in the control group(70.73%) was lower than the research group ( 90.24%) ( P <0.05 ) .Conclusion Simoyinzi Decoction in the treatment of perimenopausal women with early onset of severe depression was curative effective, and it can improve the 5-HT and reduce the levels of inflammatory factors.
