目的:探讨伴有迟发性运动障碍(TD)的精神分裂症患者血清铁调素(Hep)、铁蛋白(Fn)水平,以及铁代谢状况与TD的关系。方法:采用酶免疫法及化学发光法测定30例伴TD的精神分裂症患者(TD组)、41例不伴TD的精神分裂症患者(非TD组)及41名正常人(正常对照组)血清Hep、Fn水平;用异常不自主运动量表(AIMS)评估患者TD的严重程度及其与血清Hep、Fn水平的相关性。结果:TD组血清Hep水平低于非TD组及正常对照组(Z=-2.99,Z=-3.62;P均〈0.01),非TD组与正常对照组之间Hep水平差异无统计学意义(Z=1.22,P〉0.05);TD组血清Fn水平高于非TD组及正常对照组(Z=2.00,Z=2.39;P均〈0.05),非TD组与正常对照组之间Fn水平差异无统计学意义(Z=-0.70,P〉0.05)。TD组血清Hep水平与Fn水平呈负相关(r=-0.396,P〈0.05),AIMS评分与血清Hep及Fn水平无相关性(r=-0.052,r=0.14;P均〉0.05)。结论:TD患者存在铁代谢蛋白异常,铁代谢障碍可能参与了TD的病理生理过程。
Objective: To explore the serum levels of hepcidin ( Hep), ferritin ( Fn ) in schizophrenics with tardive dyskinesia(TD) as well as the relationship between iron metabolic status and TD. Method:Serum levels of Hep and Fn in 30 schizophrenics with TD (TD group ), 41 schizophrenics without TD (non-TD group) and 41 normal subjects(normal control group) were measured by enzyme immunoassay and chemilumi- nescence, respectively. Severity of TD was assessed with the abnormal involuntary movement scale (AIMS). Cor- relation of score of AIMS and serum level of Hep, Fn were analyzed. Results: Serum level of Hep in TD group was significantly lower than that in non-TD group and normal control group ( Z = - 2. 99, Z = - 3.62, all P 〈 0.01 ), while no difference was shown between non-TD group and normal control group ( Z = 1.22, P 〉 0.05 ). Serum level of Fn in TD group was higher than that in non-TD group and normal control group ( Z = 2. 00, Z = 2.39, all P 〈 0. 05 ), there was also no significant difference in serum level of Fn between non-TD group and normal control group( Z = - 0. 70, P 〉 0.05 ). In TD group, serum level of Hep was negatively correlated with serum level of Fn(r = -0. 396,P 〈0.05) ,no correlation existed between score of AIMS and serum level of Hep or Fn ( r = - 0. 052, r = 0.14 ; all P 〉 0.05 ). Conclusion: TD patients have abnormal iron metabolic protein. Iron metabolic disorder may he involved in the pathophysiologieal process of TD.
