Objective:To explore the characteristics of executive function and alterations in monoamine neurotransmitters in methamphetamine-dependent adolescents and to analyse the relationship between executive function and monoamine neurotransmitters.Methods:From January to March 2017, totally 50 female methamphetamine-dependent adolescents and 50 male methamphetamine-dependent adolescents were selected as the experimental group in two compulsory isolation drug rehabilitation centres in Sichuan Province, while normal adolescents (50 males and 50 females) matching the age and gender of the experimental group were recruited as the control group in a school.Executive function was tested by the N-back test, colour word interference test and Hanoita test, and serum levels of dopamine, 5-hydroxytryptamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine were measured using high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection.Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS 21.0 software.The t-test was used to compare the differences of executive function between the experimental group and control group, and Pearson correlation analysis was used to assess the correlation between executive functions and monoamine neurotransmitters in the experimental group. Results:The differences in the number of correct 0-back responses ((105.38±17.00) vs (114.05±5.29) ) and correct response time ((728.82±110.95) ms vs (652.24±89.88) ms), number of correct 2-back responses ((54.78±23.04) vs ( 74.01±12.01)) and correct response time ((585.74±245.35) ms vs (477.44±181.26) ms), the number of correct responses in the Stroop task ((29.68±7.19) vs (33.60±7.36)) and correct response time ((973.73±228.27) ms vs ( 916.11±98.54) ms), and the number of TOH movement steps ((99.42±32.83) vs (87.70±32.55)) were statistically significant in the experimental group compared to the control group(all P<0.05). In the experimental group, serum dopamine ((5.06±1.55) μg/mL vs (3.18±1.97) μg/mL), 5-hydroxytryptamine ((351.94±119.90) ng/mL vs (149.27±69.24) ng/mL), epinephrine ((555.66±225.55) ng/mL vs (129.20± 81.39) ng/mL), and norepinephrine ((3.63±0.96) ng/mL vs (2.03±0.64) ng/mL) were higher than those in the control group, all with statistically significant differences (all P<0.01). Correlation analysis of executive function with monoamine neurotransmitters showed that serum dopamine level in the experimental group was correlated significantly with the number of correct 0-back, 2-back responses, correct response time, and TOH movement steps ( r=-0.194, 0.170, -0.163, 0.198, 0.196, all P<0.05), 5-hydroxytryptamine level was negatively correlated with the number of correct 0-back, 2-back responses( r=-0.267, -0.375), and was positively correlated with correct response time ( r=0.243, 0.177). Adrenaline content was significantly correlated with the number of correct 0-back and 2-back responses, correct response time, and the number of correct Stroop test responses, correct response time ( r=-0.340, 0.212, -0.415, 0.170, -0.212, 0.178, all P<0.05). Norepinephrine level was correlated significantly with the number of correct 0-back responses, correct response times, correct 2-back responses, correct Stroop test responses, and TOH movement steps ( r=-0.245, 0.266, -0.291, -0.193, 0.226, all P<0.05). Conclusion:The executive function of methamphetamine-dependent adolescents is damaged to a certain extent and the content of monoamine neurotransmitter in serum is increased.There is a correlation between impairment in executive function and serum levels of monoamine neurotransmitters.

Objective:To explore the effect of methamphetamine (MA) dependence on the attention of female youth, and to analyze the intervention effect of computer-based cognitive training on the attention of MA-dependent female youth.Method:From May to August 2021, a total of 64 MA-dependent female youths in abstinence period from a women's compulsory isolated drug rehabilitation center in Sichuan Province were selected as the MA group, and 53 ordinary female youths matched with their age and education level were selected as the normal control group.According to the matching principle of age, education level, and attention pre-test scores, the subjects in MA-dependent group were divided into MA-dependent intervention group( n=30)and MA-dependent waiting group( n=34). CogniPlus cognitive training system was used to train the attention of subjects in MA-dependent intervention group( n=30), while the subjects in MA-dependent waiting group( n=34) and normal control group did not receive training.The Vienna Test System was used to collect the attention scores of all subjects.SPSS 20.0 analysis software was used for data processing.Statistical analysis was performed using independent samples t test and paired samples t test. Results:The MA-dependent group had significantly longer endogenous alertness, temporary alertness, and concentration response time ((275.61±47.79)ms, (268.63±51.41)ms, (444.08±134.40)ms) compared with the normal control group ((247.02±34.09)ms, (237.60±46.04)ms, (355.15±44.37)ms) ( t=3.767, 3.405, 4.976; all P<0.05). After attention training, the post-test reaction time of endogenous alertness, temporary alertness, and concentration ((264.10±38.98)ms, (251.67±38.06)ms, (352.03±65.70)ms) in the MA-dependent intervention group were significantly shorter than those in the MA-dependent waiting group ((323.18±83.28)ms, (302.74±82.75)ms, (402.76±74.34)ms) ( t=-3.702, -3.232, -2.876; all P<0.05). The post-test reaction time of temporary alertness and concentration in the MA-dependent intervention group ((251.67±38.06)ms, (352.03±65.70)ms)were shorter than those of the pre-test ((265.70±37.84)ms, (428.67±120.11)ms) ( t=2.179, 3.588; both P<0.05). The MA-dependent waiting group had a longer post-test reaction time of endogenous alertness and temporary alertness(323.18±83.28)ms, (302.74±82.75)ms) compared with the pre-test ((285.35±51.43)ms, (271.21±61.42)ms) ( t=-2.752, -2.664; both P<0.05) and the post-test reaction time of concentration ((402.76±74.34)ms) was shorter than that of the pre-test ((457.68±146.29)ms)( t=2.431, P<0.05). The MA-dependent intervention group had longer endogenous alertness, temporary alertness, and pre-test reaction time of concentration ((264.57±41.41)ms, (265.70±37.84)ms, (428.67±120.11)ms)compared with the normal control group( t=2.083, 2.841, 3.230; all P<0.05). The post-test of endogenous alertness ((264.10±38.98)ms) was longer than that of the normal control group ( t=2.082, P<0.05). Conclusion:The cognitive training based on the CogniPlus system has a certain effect on the attention maintenance or recovery of MA-dependent female youth.It can be used as an intervention measure for cognitive impairment of drug addicts and help them healthy return to society.
