ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of oxcarbazepine combined with ziprasidone in the treatment of acute excitatory agitation in patients with schizophrenia.Methods:From January 2016 to January 2019, a total of 110 patients with acute excitatory schizophrenia who admitted in the Third Hospital of Quzhou were enrolled, and they were divided into observation group and control group according to the random digital table method, with 55 cases in each group.The control group was given ziprasidone capsule, and the observation group was given oxcarbazepine combined with ziprasidone capsule treatment for 4 weeks.The PANSS excitatory agitation factor(PANSS-EC), explicit aggressive behavior scale(MOAS), clinical efficacy rating scale(CGI-SI) score, serum neurocytokines[brain-derived nutritional factors(BDNF), nerve growth factor(NGF), glial-derived neurotrophic factor(GDNF)], homocysteine (Hcy), inflammatory factors[interleukin 1β(IL-1β), interleukin 6(IL-6), interleukin 12(IL-12), tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α)] before and after treatment and the incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results:After treatment, the PANSS-EC, MOAS, CGI-SI scores, Hcy, IL-1β and TNF-α levels were decreased in the two groups( t=7.829, 14.952, 3.417, 15.511, 18.948, 7.193, 18.453, 24.161, 1.995, 3.378, 3.968, 6.820, all P<0.05), which of the observation group were lower than those of the control group[(15.34±3.56)points vs.(11.08±3.17)points, (5.36±1.68)points vs.(4.15±1.46)points, (5.56±1.21)points vs.(4.18±1.35)points, (14.29±2.42)μmol/L vs.(10.63±2.24)μmol/L, (48.15±15.63)ng/L vs.(42.18±10.51)ng/L, (29.57±8.76)ng/L vs.(23.48±6.76)ng/L]( t=6.628, 4.032, 5.645, 8.231, 2.351, 4.082, all P<0.05), while the BDNF, NGF, GDNF levels were increased( t=6.253, 6.346, 3.513, 13.906, 15.874, 7.507, all P<0.05), which of the observation group were higher than those of the control group[(9.34±1.23)μg/L vs.(11.35±1.34)μg/L, (21.37±2.85)μg/L vs.(26.87±3.21)μg/L, (439.51±56.42)ng/L vs.(489.63±58.15)ng/L], the differences were statistically significant( t=2.351, 3.523, 3.204, all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups[25.45%(14/55) vs.12.73%(7/55), χ 2=2.884, P=0.089]. Conclusion:Oxcarbazepine combined with ziprasidone in the treatment of acute excitatory patients with schizophrenia can control the clinical symptoms, improve the serum levels of cytokines, Hcy and inflammatory factors, and has high safety.
