It was reported that the PFC was dysfunctional in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Methylphenidate (MPD), a drug often prescribed for the treatment of ADHD, has potential for abuse and misuse. Most MPD studies were completed in adult subjects;however, most users were adolescents. The objective of this study was to investigate the acute and chronic dose response characteristics of MPD on PFC neuronal activity recorded in freely behaving adolescent rats. Four groups of animals were used: saline (control), 0.6, 2.5, and 10 mg/kg MPD. Acute MPD elicited a dose response increase in animals’ locomotor activity. Rechallenge with MPD at experimental day (ED10) when compared to the effect of MPD at ED1 showed no significant differences. When the animals were divided into two groups based on their individual responses to chronic MPD exposure, some animals expressed behavioral tolerance and some expressed behavioral sensitization. Electrophysiologically, a dose response characteristic for acute and chronic MPD exposure was observed. With increasing MPD doses, more PFC units responded by changing their firing rate. Moreover, the neuronal responses to chronic MPD recorded from animals expressing behavioral tolerance were significantly different compared to the neuronal population responses recorded from animals expressing behavioral sensitization. The majority of the PFC units recorded from animals expressing behavioral tolerance responded to MPD predominately by decreasing their firing rates, whereas PFC units recorded from behaviorally sensitized animals mainly showed an increase in their firing rates.展开更多

Methods: Double blind method was used to compare DDN with ritalin for ADHD in clinical practice from December 1995 to December 1996. The total number of cases was 70. Results: There were 37 cases in DDN group, with 17 cases (45.9%) markedly effective, 16 cases (43.2%) effective, the Conners hyperactive index (HI) 2.01±0.83 (before treatment), 1.17±0.76 (after 4 weeks' treatment); and there were 33 cases in the ritalin group, with 15 cases (45.5%) markedly effective, 14 cases (42.4%) effective, HI 2.07±0.91 (before treatment), 1.47±0.79 (after 4 weeks' treatment). Insignificant difference existed between the effectiveness in these 2 groups (P>0.05). The chief side-effects were 3 cases (8.1%) of anorexia in DDN group, and 7 cases (21.2%) in ritalin group. Conclusion: The effect of DDN is not significantly different from that of ritalin, and the side-effects in ritalin group were more than those in DDN group.展开更多
