Mol Psychiatry:催产素喷鼻治疗儿童自闭症,行之有效

2015-11-18 candy 译 MedSci原创

背景:自闭症是一组复杂的大脑发育障碍,其特点是社交障碍和刻板重复行为。据估计,在68名儿童中,就有1个自闭症。然而对于自闭症的干预是有限的。一些精神药物,如利培酮,似乎可以缓解行为问题,但他们往往与不良事件相关。也有证据证明一些药物治疗对改善核心社会诊断功能是有效的。行为干预可以显著改善障碍,但是往往需要耗费大量的时间和金钱。目前,有报道称合成催产素在社会认知和行为上可以起到重要的作用,由此也许有



背景:
自闭症是一组复杂的大脑发育障碍,其特点是社交障碍和刻板重复行为。据估计,在68名儿童中,就有1个自闭症。然而对于自闭症的干预是有限的。一些精神药物,如利培酮,似乎可以缓解行为问题,但他们往往与不良事件相关。也有证据证明一些药物治疗对改善核心社会诊断功能是有效的。行为干预可以显著改善障碍,但是往往需要耗费大量的时间和金钱。目前,有报道称合成催产素在社会认知和行为上可以起到重要的作用,由此也许有潜力为改善自闭症核心社会和行为障碍而提供一个有效的治疗方法。但它在治疗幼儿自闭症上的功效仍然有待评估,这可能给这些病患带来更大程度上的受益。

目的:研究者评估了催产素治疗幼儿的功效、耐受力和安全性。

方法:采用随机双盲对照交叉临床试验。

结果:31例自闭症幼儿依次接受连续5周的催产素和安慰剂12IU鼻腔内喷雾治疗,早晚各一次(共24IU每日),两种治疗间隔4周的洗脱期。与安慰剂组比较,催产素明显改善的主要结果是照顾者额定社会相应。总体而言,鼻腔喷雾剂耐受性良好,最普遍的不良反应是口渴、排尿和便秘。

结论:在3-8岁的自闭儿童中,5周的催产素鼻腔内喷雾较安慰剂治疗更能改善照顾者额定社会响应。研究发现催产素有更好的耐受性,与安慰剂组之间的不良反应无显著差异。这些发现需要更大型的研究确认,使催产素成为改善自闭儿童社交障碍首选的治疗方式。

Nature:催产素的新解读

催产素,顾名思义,是一种促进子宫收缩和乳汁排出的激素。但近期研究者们感兴趣的是催产素对大脑的影响。 2011年4月,Robert Froemke等人给处女小鼠注射催产素,研究催产素对小鼠大脑和行为的影响。 注射催产素前,这些雌性小鼠对小鼠宝宝的哭叫无动于衷,甚至欺负小家伙们。神奇的是,一旦注射催产素,这些雌性小鼠就会变得慈爱起来,会像妈妈一样含起小家伙,哄宝宝们开心。Froemke是纽

Nature:“麻麻素”让妈妈更称职

像许多新生的哺乳动物一样,老鼠宝宝的哭声也会引起妈妈的注意。不过妈妈们并不本能地认识到这些哭声的需求;她必须学习幼崽的哭声,就跟人一样。最近,纽约大学医学院的一个研究小组发现一种“妈妈素”能帮助妈妈们学习的一个关键存在。这个“妈妈素”其实就是催产素(oxytocin)。大脑对催产素产生反应后,雌性小鼠才会对哭泣的幼崽表现出母亲的关心和注意力。这篇研究在线发表在最新的Nature。纽约大学医学院的研

Nature头条:解读“爱的激素”

来自纽约大学Langone医学中心的神经科学家们发现了,强大的脑激素催产素作用于个别脑细胞引发特异社会行为的机制,这一研究发现有可能促成更好地了解如何利用催产素和其他的激素来治疗由于疾病或脑创伤所导致的一些行为问题。研究结果发布在4月15日的Nature杂志上。 由于能够给人带来愉悦兴奋满足感,促进社会和亲缘关系,催产素有时也被称作为是“快乐激素”或“爱的激素”。尽管现在研究人员已清楚地

Neurosci Biobehav Rev:催产素与酒精有众多相似之处

研究显示,由新妈妈、处在恋爱中的人、甚至是宠物狗的主人身上分泌的一种荷尔蒙能起到许多与酒精类似的效果。催产素,又名“爱的荷尔蒙”,能够令人产生信任感,变得更加慷慨——但就像喝酒一样,它也能提高人的攻击性。据英国研究者称,催产素和酒精之间存在的相似之处“多得令人吃惊”。女性在怀孕期间分泌的催产素有利于增强她们与婴儿之间的联系。做爱时也会产生催产素,因此它有个绰号叫“抱抱荷尔蒙”。其它出于爱意的举动,

坐月子陋习之:月子米酒

许多人希望我能说一下坐月子的陋习,不能洗澡,洗头,不能吹风,不能用空调,不能吃生冷食物,不能沾凉水,直至不能出门这些陋习已经被许多产科医生和科普作者批评过多次,我这里就不再说了。民间坐月子的习俗中有“米酒下奶的说法”,在一些母婴保健网站和论坛中也广泛流传这样的说法。在我国的很多地方,比如江浙,台湾和两广还有“月子酒”的习俗,甚至把米酒和黄酒让产妇当水来喝。其实,不只是中国,在世界其他很多地方也有给

Frontiers in Genetics:催产素受体,诊断产后抑郁症将靠你

产后抑郁症(PPD)是一种女性生完孩子之后出现的抑郁症类型。据2013年的一项调查显示,有1/7的女性生完孩子后会出现抑郁症,超过22%的产妇在某一时段会存在抑郁情绪。产妇的PPD症状不仅表现为自身的抑郁情绪,也包括对孩子的悲观和失望,如:出现情感麻木且认为自己与孩子无关;过分忧虑孩子会不幸福;时刻担心自己会伤害孩子;对不能照顾孩子怀有内疚感;既往的研究已经证明催产素具有帮助产妇顺利生产、母婴联合
