2.Augmentation Strategies for the Treatment of Schizophrenia.
Journal of the Korean Society of Biological Psychiatry 1998;5(2):149-154
Antipsychotic drugs(APDs) have been effective to alleviate psychotic symptoms of schizophrenia. However, some schizophrenic patients do not respond to APDs. In addition to psychotic symptoms of schizophrenia, negative symptoms, excitement, violence, agitation, depression, and disorganization are frequently noted in patients with schizophrenia. Though APDs are the first line drugs for these symptoms, other drugs than APDs to augment the effects of APDs are efficacious for the treatment of these symptoms. Such augmenting drugs include benzodiazepines, anticonvulsants, antidepressants, lithium, and electroconvulsive therapy. These augmentation strategies can boost the effects of APDs or decrease the requirements of APDs, and consequently decrease the chance of the occurrence of side effects of APDs. Augmenting strategies are revewed for each class of drugs or treatment modality.

Fibronectin(FN) is a physiologic glycoprotein presenton cell surface and in connective tissue, extracellular matrix and plasma. Increased plasma FN levels have been reported in the patients with psoriasis, connective tissue disease, internal malignancy, squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma. The author investigated the plasma FN levels in 30 patients (males 13, female 17) with psoriasis and 23 healthy subjects (male 13, female 10) by gelatin sepharose 4B affinity chromatography and Laurells rocket immunoelectrophoresis method. The results were as follows : Plasrna JN levels were 450.4+/-80.3pg/ml in the patients with psoriasis and 334.0-51.3pg/ml in healthy subjects. There was no relationship between age graups and sex. Plasrna FN levels in the patients with psoriasis were higher than those of healthy subjects(p<0.001). There was no relationship between the levels of plasma FN and clinical severity of psoriasis.
