Hormonal imbalance, inflammation and alteration in synaptic plasticity are reported to play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. The objective of the study was to assess the serum levels of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its association with interleukin-23 (IL-23), testosterone and disease severity in schizophrenia. 40 cases and 40 controls were included in the study. Serum levels of BDNF, IL-23 and testosterone were estimated in all the subjects. Disease severity was assessed using Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). The study was designed in Tertiary care hospital, South India. The results were compared between two groups using Mann–Whitney U test. Spearman Correlation analysis was used to assess the association between biochemical parameters and PANSS. Interleukin-23 and testosterone were significantly increased and BDNF was significantly reduced in schizophrenia cases when compared with controls. BDNF was negatively correlated with IL-23 (r = − 400, p = 0.011), positive symptom subscale (r = − 0.393, p = 0.012), general psychopathology score subscale (r = − 407, p = 0.009) and total symptom subscale (r = − 404, p = 0.010). There was no significant association of IL-23 and testosterone with disease severity in schizophrenia cases. BDNF was reduced in schizophrenia cases and negatively associated with interleukin-23 and disease severity scores. 相似文献

The severity of alcoholic cirrhosis depends on the presence of liver inflammation and fibrogenesis. Previous studies have hypothesized that carbohydrate deficient transferrin can be used as marker of liver impairment in alcoholic liver disease patients. The present study was designed to assess whether carbohydrate deficient transferrin is associated with procollagen III peptide and predict fibrosis in alcohol cirrhosis patients. We enrolled 48 patients with alcoholic cirrhosis and 38 healthy controls. Serum carbohydrate deficient transferrin, procollagen III peptide and interleukin-6 levels were estimated in both groups. Serum carbohydrate deficient transferrin, procollagen III peptide and interleukin-6 were significantly increased in alcoholic cirrhosis patients compared to controls. Stepwise regression analysis showed that carbohydrate deficient transferrin (adjusted R2 = 0.313, β = 0.362, p = 0.003) and interleukin-6 (adjusted R2 = 0.194, β = 0.459, p = 0.001) were positively associated with procollagen III peptide when age, duration and amount of alcohol consumption were considered as covariates. We conclude that elevated carbohydrate deficient transferrin and interleukin-6 act as predictors of fibrosis in alcoholic cirrhosis. 相似文献
