Analysis of Time-Course, Dose-Effect, and Influencing Factors of Antidepressants in the Treatment of Acute Adult Patients With Major Depression.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:Model-based meta-analysis was used to describe the time-course and dose-effect relationships of antidepressants and also simultaneously investigate the impact of various factors on drug efficacy. METHODS:This study is a reanalysis of a published network meta-analysis. Only placebo-controlled trials were included in this study. The change rate in depression rating scale scores from baseline was used as an efficacy indicator because a continuous variable is more likely to reflect subtle differences in efficacy between drugs. RESULTS:A total 230 studies containing 64?346 patients were included in the analysis. The results showed that the number of study sites (single or multi-center) and the type of setting (inpatient or noninpatient) are important factors affecting the efficacy of antidepressants. After deducting the placebo effect, the maximum pure drug efficacy value of inpatients was 18.4% higher than that of noninpatients, and maximum pure drug efficacy value of single-center trials was 10.2% higher than that of multi-central trials. Amitriptyline showed the highest drug efficacy. The remaining 18 antidepressants were comparable or had little difference. Within the approved dose range, no significant dose-response relationship was observed. However, the time-course relationship is obvious for all antidepressants. In terms of safety, with the exception of amitriptyline, the dropout rate due to adverse events of other drugs was not more than 10% higher than that of the placebo group. CONCLUSION:The number of study sites and the type of setting are significant impact factors for the efficacy of antidepressants. Except for amitriptyline, the other 18 antidepressants have little difference in efficacy and safety.

Project description:The number and type of synthetic chemicals that are being produced worldwide continues to increase significantly. While these industrial chemicals provide numerous benefits, there is no doubt that some have potential to damage the environment and health. Toxicity must be evaluated and use must be carefully controlled and monitored in order to minimize potential damage. DNA microarray technology has become an important new technique in toxicology. We are using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model organism for toxicological study because it is a simple, fast-growing eukaryote that has been thoroughly characterized. In order to evaluate toxicity by newly synthesized or mixture chemicals, toxicity-induced gene expression alteration profiles by known chemicals should be collected. In our study, cells need to be exposed with same experimental cellular condition, semi lethal (IC50), respectively. In the case of iodine (CAS; 7553-56-2), the IC50 was 1 mM by growth curve with continuously diluted exposure. // Effects of Iodine on Global Gene Expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae : It is well documented that iodine kills microorganisms with broad spectrum. However, a systematic study of its mechanism of action has not yet been reported. Here we have demonstrated the action of iodine on gene expression level, using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae with a DNA microarray. It was found that like antimicrobial activity, iodine causes an immediate and dose-dependent (0.5 mM, 0.75 mM and 1 mM) transcriptional alteration on yeast cells. The effects of iodine continued after the first immediate response. Genes for C-compound and carbohydrate metabolism, for energy, and for cell rescue were continuously up-regulated. On the other hand, genes related to protein fate were induced especially at 0.5 h. The gene expression profile at 0.5 h was significantly different from other longer iodine exposed condition. The main reaction at 0.5 h after iodine addition may be due to the oxidative toxicity, and the profile at 0.5 h was similar to agricultural bactericide. Keywords: stress response

Project description:Depressive disorders (DDs) are one of the most widespread forms of psychiatric pathology. According to the World Health Organization, about 350 million people in the world are affected by this condition. Family and twin studies have demonstrated that the contribution of genetic factors to the risk of the onset of DDs is quite large. Various methodological approaches (analysis of candidate genes, genome-wide association analysis, genome-wide sequencing) have been used, and a large number of the associations between genes and different clinical DD variants and DD subphenotypes have been published. However, in most cases, these associations have not been confirmed in replication studies, and only a small number of genes have been proven to be associated with DD development risk. To ascertain the role of genetic factors in DD pathogenesis, further investigations of the relevant conditions are required. Special consideration should be given to the polygenic characteristics noted in whole-genome studies of the heritability of the disorder without a pronounced effect of the major gene. These observations accentuate the relevance of the analysis of gene-interaction roles in DD development and progression. It is important that association studies of the inherited variants of the genome should be supported by analysis of dynamic changes during DD progression. Epigenetic changes that cause modifications of a gene's functional state without changing its coding sequence are of primary interest. However, the opportunities for studying changes in the epigenome, transcriptome, and proteome during DD are limited by the nature of the disease and the need for brain tissue analysis, which is possible only postmortem. Therefore, any association studies between DD pathogenesis and epigenetic factors must be supplemented through the use of different animal models of depression. A threefold approach comprising the combination of gene association studies, assessment of the epigenetic state in DD patients, and analysis of different "omic" changes in animal depression models will make it possible to evaluate the contribution of genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors to the development of different forms of depression and to help develop ways to decrease the risk of depression and improve the treatment of DD.
