Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the possible association between depression and cellular immunologic status in patients with verruca planea. Methods Depression was assessed with the Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), and the inteleukin-2 (IL-2)produced by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and the activity of natural killer (NK) cells were measured in 68 patients with verruca planea. Results The SDS scores in patients with verruca planea(46. 08 ± 12.76) were significantly higher than those in the controls(41.88 ± 10. 57, t = 3.71, P ＜ 0. 01 ), and 38% of the patients were affected by depression. The mean scores of depression (48.89 ± 11. 52 ) and the rate ( 29% ) of depressive disorder among patients unmarried (single) were significantly higher than those married [(43. 16 ± 10. 17 ), 9%;t = 2. 28, x2 = 4. 86, P ＜ 0. 05] . The mean scores of depression among female patients (49. 01 ± 11.36 )were significantly higher than male patients [(41.96 ± 10.48 ) ,t =2. 21 ,P ＜0. 05] . In patients affected by depression, the level of the IL-2[(46. 64 ± 12. 28) × 103 U/L] produced by PBMC and the activity of NK cells[( 19. 23 ±5.60)%] were significantly decreased than those in undepressive group[(56. 15 ± 18. 32) ×103 U/L, (24.65 ± 6. 89)%; t = 3.18, 3. 32, P ＜ 0.01] . The differences above were all significant. Conclusions Patients with vermca planea are partly affected by depression and the cellular immunologic status may be abnormal among the patients with depression.
