Objective To investigate the variations of polysomnography of the patients with retardative depression and non-retardative depression. Methods Twenty-eight patients with depression without any medicine at least for 1 month and fifteen normal controls were assessed in this study. Based on the scores of retardation of Hamilton Depression Scale( HAMD), the patients were divided into the group of retardative depression and the group of non-retardative depression. Polysomnography was given to all the subjects. Results Compared with the normal controls, the depressive patients both in the retardative depression group and in the non-retardative depression group showed significant differences of lower total sleep time (TST), sleep efficiency (SE), SWS% , rapid eye movement ) sleep time ( RT), REM sleep latency (RL) ( all P < 0. 05 ), and higher sleep latency (SL) , awakening time( AT), awakening number( AN ), the percentage of AT( A/TST% ), the percentage of 1 sleep( S1 % ), the percentage of RT( RT% ), REM activity ( RA), and REM intensity (RI). REM density (RD) in the retardative depression group was significantly higher than both the non-retardative depression group and the control group ( t =2.36, P< 0. 05; t = 2.75, P< 0. 05 ). Conclusion Abnormalities of PSG in depression are proved, and RD may be relative to retardation. The differences of PSG do not existed between different kinds of depression such as retardative depression and non-retardative depression.

Objective To compare with the effect of high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) between the left and the right prefrontal on refractory negative symptoms and serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Methods 80 hospitalized schizophrenics with refractory negative symptoms were divided into study group (n=40) and control group (n=40) randomly. Both groups were received 4-week treatment of 10 Hz rTMS. The stimulus lo?cation of the study group was the left prefrontal, and the control group was the right prefrontal. The type and dose of anti?psychotics remained unchanged during the treatment. The evaluation of positive and negative symptom scale (PANSS) and the measurement of BDNF concentration before treatment and after 4 weeks treatment was analyzed. Results Com?pared with before treatment, the total score of PANSS after treatment significantly decreased (P<0.05) both in the study group [(71.2±13.8) vs. (63.3±11.4)] and the control group [(70.3±13.4) vs. (63.7±12.2)]. The score of negative symptoms in the study group decreased [(22.8±6.6) vs. (18.4±5.9), P<0.01]. The BDNF concentration increased in the study group ](6.78±2.16) vs. (8.74±2.76)] and the control group [(6.83±2.32) vs. (8.66±2.70)]. Conclusion 10Hz rTMS on the left pre?frontal combined with drugs are helpful to improve the refractory negative symptom of the patients with schizophrenia. Stimulation on both left and right prefrontal lobe could increase serum BDNF concentration.
