目的:探讨首发精神分裂症患者血清同型半胱氨酸( Hcy )水平与认知功能的关系。方法采用丹迪Keypoint 四通道诱发电位仪对84例首发精神分裂症患者(研究组)进行事件相关电位(ERP)检测,用高效液相色谱法检测血清Hcy水平,并将检测结果与76例正常健康者(对照组)进行比较。采用阳性和阴性症状量表(PANSS)评定患者的临床症状,并分析其与血清Hcy水平和ERP的相关性。结果与对照组比较,研究组患者血清 Hcy水平明显增高,差异有统计学意义(P <0.01);ERP测定中N2波潜伏期(PL )、P3 PL明显延长,P3波幅(amp)明显降低,差异均有统计学意义(P <0.01);相关分析显示,研究组患者血清 Hcy水平与ERP测定中的N2 PL、P3 PL及PANSS评分呈正相关(r =0.35、0.38、0.46,P <0.01),与ERP测定成分中的N1 PL、P2 PL无相关性(r =-0.19∽02.4,P >0.05),与P3 amp呈负相关(r =-0.38,P <0.01)。结论首发精神分裂症患者存在一定程度的高 Hcy血症和认知功能损害,且高Hcy与认知功能障碍有一定的相关性。
Objective To explore the relationship between serum homocysteine (Hcy ) and cognitive function in patients with first-episode schizophrenia .Methods ERP and level of serum Hcy of 84 cases with first-episode schizophrenia were detected by Dandy Keypoint four-channel trigger potentiometer and high-performance liquid chromatography respectively .Results were compared with 76 healthy cases . Clinical symptoms of patients were evaluated by PANSS ,and their correlations with ERP and level of ser-um Hcy were analyzed .Results Compared with the healthy cases ,the level of serum Hcy in patients in-creased significantly ,and the difference was statistically significant (P 〈0.01) .In ERP detection ,N2 PL and P3 PL prolonged obviously while P3 amp decreased obviously ,the differences were statistically signifi-cant (P 〈0.01) .The level of serum Hcy ,N2 PL ,N3 PL in ERP detection and PANSS had positive correla-tion (r=0 .35 ,0. 38 ,0. 46 ,P 〈0.01) ,and had no correlation with N1 PL and P2 PL while had negative cor-relation with P3 amp (r = -0 3.8 ,P 〈0.01) .Conclusion There exist high level of serum Hcy and cogni-tive impairment in patients with first -episode schizophrenia .
