RESUMEN
Objective To explore whether the norepinephrine transporter(NET) gene T-182C and G1287A polymorphisms are involved in the etiology of schizophrenics among the Chinese Han population.Methods 249 schizophrenics(case group) and 309 healthy physical examiners(control group) of the Chinese Han population were collected.Ligase detection reaction was used to detect the genotype distributions and allele frequencies of NET rs2242446 and rs5569 polymorphisms in the two groups.The genotype distributions and allele frequencies of these two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were also compared in the case and control groups.Results In the case group,the TF genotype of the NET gene loci rs2242446 was the most,48.6％,and the CC genotype of which was the least,8.4％.In the control group,the CT genotype was the most,47.9％,and the C C genotype was the least,11.3％,the minimum allele frequency was 29.9％.In the case group,the GG genotype of the NET gene loci rs5569 was the most,46.2％,and the CC genotype was the least,9.6％.In the control group,GG genotype was the most,51.5％,and the AA genotype was the least,10.3％,and the minimum allele frequency was 29.4％.No significant differences in the genotype and allele distribution of NET rs2242446 and rs5569 were found in Chinese-Han patients with schizophrenia and control participants (all P＞ 0.05).In gender-specific analyses,similarly,no significant differences were found for rs2242446 and rs5569 genotype and allele distributions in either the male or the female case-control comparisons (all P＞ 0.05).Conclusion The NET rs2242446 and rs5569 polymorphisms are not associated with schizophrenia in Chinese Han population.
RESUMEN
Objective To explore wbether there is an association between the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of phosphodiestierase-4A (PDE4A) and bipolar disorder in Han population.Methods A casecontrol association study was done in this study,432 bipolar disorder patients(patients group),and 569 age and gender-matched controls(control group)were recruited.Real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect genotypes and alleles distributive frequency of rs1051738 and rs7256672 of 432 bipolar disorder patients and 569 normal people.Results The PDE4A rs1051738 genotypes and alleles frequency distribution between patients group(AA,AC,CC genotypes:12％,8％,80％,A,C alleles:16％,84％) and control group (AA,AC,CC genotypes:2％,19％,79％,A,C alleles:12％,88％) showed statistically significance (P＜ 0.01).The frequency of PDE4A rs7256672 genotypes and alleles distribution between patients group(GG,GT,TT genotypes:18％,50％,32％,G,T alleles:43％,57％) and control group (GG,GT,TT genotypes:20％,48％,32％,G,T alleles:45％,55％)showed no significant difference(P=0.620,P=0.446).Conclusion The PDE4A rs1051738 polymorphism may be responsible for an increase in susceptibility to bipolar disorder,indicating that it maybe a functional site with marked significance to bipolar disorder.
RESUMEN
Objective To explore whether there is association between the polymorphisms of serotonin 2A receptor(5-HT2A) rs6311,rs6305 and adenylate cyclase rs2230739 with episode of bipolar disorder.Methods A case-control association study was done in this study,152 bipolar disorder patients (patients group),and 187 ageand gender-matched controls (control group) were recruited.Ligase detection reaction(LDR) was used to detect the distributive frequency of rs6311,rs6305 and rs2230739 of 152 bipolar disorder patients and 187 normal people.Results The 5-HT2A receptor rs6311 genotypes and alleles frequency distribution between patients group(11,12,22 genotypes:21％,61％,18％ ; 1,2 alleles:51％,49％) and control group(11,12,22 genotypes:44％,45％,11％ ; 1,2 alleles:66％,34％) showed statistically significance (P＜0.01).There were no differences of 5-HT2A receptor rs6305 genotypes and alleles between patients group and control group.The frequency of rs2230739 genotypes and alleles distribution between patients group (11,12,22 genotypes: 20％,43％,37％ ; 1,2 alleles: 42％,58％) and control group(11,12,22 genotypes: 17％,48％,35％ ; 1,2 alleles: 41％,59％) showed no significant difference(P=0.661,P=0.846).Conclusion The 5-HT2A receptor rs6311 polymorphism may be responsible for an increase in susceptibility to bipolar disorder,indicating that it maybe an marker to bipolar disorder.
RESUMEN
Objective To observe the therapeutic effects of oxygen inhalation combined with relaxation training on patients with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).Methods A total of 188 GAD patients were divided into the study group and the control group randomly.The two groups were treated with conventional antianxiety drugs (paroxetine),in addition to conventional medical therapy.The study group was aided with oxygen inhalation and relaxation training,the control group was given benzodiazepine.The scores of Hamilton anxiety rating scale (HAMA),global improvement(GI) [ a part of clinical global impression (CGI) ],and treatment emergent symptom scale (TESS) were used to evaluate clinical effects and adverse reactions before and after 4-week treatment.The indexes of breathing,heart rate and blood pressure were evaluated before and after treatment.Results The scores of HAMA scale and GI in the two groups were significantly different after treatment( P ＜ 0.05 ),and the study group changed significantly( P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01 ). The adverse reactions of the two groups were slight,there was no significant difference of TESS before and after treatment ( P ＞ 0.05 ). There was no significant difference in terms of breathing,heart rate and blood pressure between the two groups before treatment( P ＞ 0.05 ),but were all lower after treatment the study group changed more apparently and significantly(P ＜ 0.01 ).Conclusions Based on conventional drugs treatment oxygen inhalation combined with relaxation training could improve anxiety and somatization rapidly,there was no obvious adverse reaction and the patients compliance was good,so the treatment was worth to use in clinic.
