This report is based on the study of 40 depressives in an attempt to explore the possible association between the suicidal ideas and the biogenic amines. The severity of suicidal ideas was measured on Hamilton Depressive Rating Scale and their amine metabolites were measured (MHFG, HVA and 5 HIAA) in urine and C.S.F. It was observed that the level of 5 HIAA, and Serotonin (5 HT) was more related to suicidal ideas and was inversely related. The probable associations between these are discussed.
本报告基于对 40 名抑郁症患者的研究,旨在探讨自杀意念与生物胺之间可能存在的关联。采用汉密尔顿抑郁评定量表(HamiltonDepressiveRatingScale)评估自杀意念的严重程度,检测尿液和脑脊液中的单胺代谢产物(MHFG、HVA 和 5-HIAA)。结果表明,5-HIAA 和血清素(5-HT)水平与自杀意念更为相关,且呈负相关。对这些关联进行了讨论。
