Methods The platelet serotonin level of the sample was determined by high performance liquid chromatograpy. The change of platelet 5-HT content was compared before and after the treatment among the different prognosis groups. Results The platelet 5-HT content of the samples during follow-up ([301.14±64.20] μg/L) was higher than the baseline ([214.29±45.69] μg/L), but there was no significant difference(P>0.05).Using Hamilton depression (HAMD) and Hamilton anxiety (HAMA) rating scales, or using HAMD, HAMA and social disability screening schedule (SDSS) to determine the prognosis groups, the change of platelet 5-HT content had significant difference in the group with good prognosis (P<0.05). Conclusion There is abnormal activity of 5-HT system in depressive disorder. Platelet 5-HT content is the state indicator of depressive disorder and may be used to predict prognosis.展开更多

All patients were evaluated on Zung and HAMD scale and assayed of platelet 5-HT concentration before and after treatment. It was found that patients had a lower level of platelet 5-HT concentration than healthy people (P<0.01). After six weeks of treatment, depressive and somatic symptoms were both improved (P<0.01) and platelet 5-HT concentration was even lower (P>0.05). It was suggested that paroxetine was a good antidepressant and platelet 5-HT concentration was useful in the screening of depression.展开更多
