The purpose of the present study was to investigate the impact of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms on hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis feedback regulation in 18 female patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and 21 healthy controls. Reduced feedback sensitivity was found in BPD patients with a low number of PTSD symptoms, while findings in the BPD group with a high number of PTSD symptoms did not differ from those in controls. The results suggest a hypo-suppression in the dexamethasone suppression test in BPD with few PTSD symptoms.
本研究的目的是调查创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)症状对18名边缘型人格障碍(BPD)女性患者和21名健康对照者下丘脑-垂体-肾上腺轴反馈调节的影响。在PTSD症状数量较少的BPD患者中发现反馈敏感性降低,而PTSD症状数量较多的BPD组的结果与对照组无异。结果表明,在PTSD症状较少的BPD患者中,地塞米松抑制试验存在低抑制现象。
