目的 研究电针治疗对重性抑郁障碍患者的抑郁状态的影响。方法 本研究共分为3组,药物组、和药物+电针组及对照组(每组各50 例),药物组给予艾司西酞普兰抗抑郁治疗连续6周,药物+电针组在给予艾司西酞普兰抗抑郁治疗的基础上,进行电针治疗6周。比较治疗前后三组的HAMD 24 项评分,并对三组的HAMD 24 项评分与血清细胞炎症因子IL-1β、IL-2、IL-6、TNF-α水平进行相关性分析。采用多元逐步回归法,分析影响基线药物组和药物+电针组HAMD 24 项评分的主要因素。结果 与治疗前比较,药物组和药物+电针组患者治疗后HAMD 24 项评分均降低,差异有统计学意义(P＜0.05或P＜0.01),与药物组比较,治疗后药物+电针组HAMD 24 项评分较低,差异有统计学意义(P＜0.05或P＜0.01)。药物组HAMD 24 项评分与血清细胞炎症因子IL-6(r=0.335,P<0.001)、TNF-α(r=0.269,P<0.001)、IL-2(r=0.257,P=0.001)和IL-1β(r=0.205,P=0.021)呈正相关。药物+电针组HAMD24 项评分与血清细胞炎症因子IL-6(r=0.338,P<0.001)、TNF-α(r=0.271,P<0.001)、IL-2(r=0.255,P=0.015)和IL-1β呈正相关(r=0.208,P=0.026)。影响药物组HAMD24 项评分的主要因素有:血清细胞炎症因子IL-6、TNF-α、IL-1β、IL-2、婚姻(已婚)、文化程度(受教育年限少),标准化回归系数分别为0.585、0.516、0.452、0.318、-0.290、0.262(P＜0.05或P＜0.01)。影响药物+电针组HAMD24 项评分的主要因素有:血清细胞炎症因子IL-6、TNF-α、IL-2、IL-1β、婚姻(已婚)、文化程度(受教育年限少),标准化回归系数分别为0.592、0.521、0.448、0.323、-0.295、0.271(P＜0.05或P＜0.01)。结论 药物联合电针治疗能有效改善重性抑郁障碍患者的抑郁状态,细胞炎症因子与HAMD24 项评分相关,可影响重性抑郁障碍患者的抑郁状态。

Objective To explore the effect of electroacupuncture on patients with severe depression. Methods Patients was divided into three groups, acupuncture group, drug group and the control group. Each group had 50 patients. The drug group was treated with escitalopram for 6 weeks.The acupuncture group were treated with escitalopram and electroacupuncture for 6 weeks. We compared the HAMD24 among 3 groups before or after treatment. The correlation of the levels of IL-1 β, IL- 2, IL- 6, TNF-α and the total HAMD24 score among 3 groups were taken by the correlation analysis. And the main factors influencing the total HAMD24 score before the study were analyzed by the multiple inear step regression method. Results Compared with the pre-treatment group, the HAMD score of the drug group and the acupuncture group decreased after treatment, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the drug group, the HAMD score of the acupuncture group was lower after treatment; the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The drug group, HAMD scores were positively correlated with IL- 6, TNF-α, IL- 2 and IL-1 β (r=0.335, 0.269, 0.257 and 0.205, respectively, P<0.05 or P<0.01). The acupuncture group HAMD scores were positively correlated with IL- 6, TNF-α, IL- 2 and IL-1 β(r=0.338, 0.271, 0.255 and 0.208, respectively, P<0.05 or P<0.01). The main factors influencing the HAMD score before the study included: serum cytokines IL- 6, TNF-α, IL β, IL- 2, marriage and education. The standardized regression coefficients were 0.585,- 0.516, 0.452, 0.318, 0.290, 0.262, respectively (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The main factors influencing the HAMD score of the drug group before the study included: serum cytokines IL- 6, TNF-α, IL β, IL- 2, marriage and education. The standardized regression coefficients were 0.585,- 0.516, 0.452, 0.318, 0.290, 0.262, respectively (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The main factors of the acupuncture group influencing the HAMD score before the study included: serum cytokines IL- 6, TNF-α, IL β, IL- 2, marriage and education. The standardized regression coefficients were 0.592,0.521,0.448,0.323,- 0.295,0.271(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01). Conclusion Escitalopram combination with electroacupuncture may improve the the depressive state. Inflammatory cytokines were associated with HAMD24 scores and it affects the depressive state of patients with major depressive disorder.
