    Plasma Cortisol in First Episode Drug-Naive Mania: Differential Levels in Euphoric Versus Irritable Mood
    (2012) VALIENGO, Leandro L.; SOEIRO-DE-SOUZA, Marcui G.; MARQUES, Andrea H.; JURUENA, Mario F.; ANDREAZZA, Ana C.; GATTAZ, Wagner F.; MACHADO-VIERA, Rodrigo
    Background: Dysregulation of HPA axis have been widely described in subjects with bipolar disorder (BD), including changes in cortisol levels during mood episodes and euthymia. However, most of the studies were done with medicated BD patients with variable length of illness, which was shown to interfere on peripheral cortisol levels. Therefore, the present study aims to evaluate plasma cortisol levels in drug-naïve BD subjects during the first manic episode, as well as investigate the relationship between plasma cortisol levels and manic symptomatology. Methods: Twenty-six drug-naïve patients were enrolled meeting criteria for a first manic episode in bipolar I disorder. Severity of mania was assessed using the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS). The control group included 27 healthy subjects matched by age and gender. Cortisol was quantified using a direct radioimmunoassay. Results: Plasma cortisol levels were decreased during first manic episode compared to healthy controls. Higher cortisol levels were positively associated with the presence of irritability (dysphoria), while elated mania showed lower cortisol levels compared to controls. Conclusions: Higher cortisol in dysphoric mania compared to predominantly elated/euphoric mania may indicate a clinical and neurobiological polymorphic phenomenon, potentially involving a higher biological sensitivity to stress in the presence of irritable mood. The present findings highlight the importance to dd a dimensional approach to the traditional categorical diagnosis for future neurobiological studies in BD.

    Background: Non-invasive brain stimulation has been increasingly used as an intervention for major depressive disorder (MDD). Methods: Randomized, factorial, double-blinded, controlled trial. Participants were randomized to sertraline/placebo and active/sham tDCS. They presented moderate to severe medication-free, nonpsychotic, unipolar, major depressivedisorder. They received 6-week treatment of 2mA anodal left dorsolateral prefrontal tDCS (twelve 30-min sessions: 10 consecutive sessions plus two extra sessions every other week) and sertraline (50mg/day). The primary outcome was the Montgomery-Asberg depression scale (MADRS) score changes at the end of treatment (6-week). A difference of at least 3 points in scores was consideredclinically relevant. Secondary outcomes were remission and response rates, and other depression scales. Results : At six weeks (primary outcome), the combined treatment was superior to sham tDCS - placebo (mean difference= 11.5 points; 95% CI=6.03 to 17.1; p<0.01) to sham tDCS -sertraline (mean 8.5; 95% CI=2.96 to 14.03; p<0.01) and to active tDCS - placebo (mean 5.9; 95%=CI 0.36 to 11.43). TDCS and sertraline alone were not different between each other (mean 2.6; 95% CI=8.13 to -2.9; p=0.35). Secondary efficacy analyses mainly confirmed these findings. Adverse effects were not significantly different when comparing groups, althoughfive of seven episodes of treatment-emergent (hypo)mania were observed in the combined treatment. Conclusions: In MDD, combination of tDCS and sertraline increases the efficacy of each treatment alone. Efficacy/safety did not differ between them.

    Epistasis Between COMT Val(158)Met and DRD3 SER(9)Gly Polymorphisms on Cognitive Function of Individuals with Schizophrenia
    (2013) LOCH, Alexandre A.; BILT, Martinus T. van de; BIO, Danielle S.; PRADO, Carolina M. do; SOUSA, Rafael T. de; VALIENGO, Leandro L.; MORENO, Ricardo A.; ZANETTI, Marcus V.; GATTAZ, Wagner F.
    Background: The present study aimed to determine the influence of cathecol-O-methyl-transferase(COMT) Val158Met and dopamine receptor D3 (DRD3) Ser9Gly polymorphisms on cognitive functioning of individuals with schizophrenia and controls. Methods: Fifty-eight outpatients with schizophrenia from the Institute of Psychiatry, Sao Paulo, and 89 controls from the same geographical area with no psychiatric or neurological disorders were recruited. Neurocognitive battery assessed: attention, verbal memory, visual memory, visuospatial function, language, psychomotor speed, executive function, intelligence. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood and genotyped for COMT Val158Met and DRD3 Ser9Gly; real-time PCR allelic discrimination with TaqMan®SNP Genotyping Assays was used. Analyses of variance (ANOVAs) controlling for sex, age and years of education were used to compare neuropsychological performance between both genotypes in controls and in patients. Results: Worst executive function was observed for DRD3 Ser/Gly carriers in controls (r=0.07,p=0.04); no DRD3 genotype effect was seen in patients. Regarding COMT, Val/Val patients had significantly worse attention (r=0.12,p=0.02); for Met/Met both patients (r=0.15,p=0.02) and controls (r=0.10,p=0.01) showed worse executive functioning. For the interaction of COMT and DRD3 polymorphisms, genotypes had significant effect among executive function in controls and patients (ES=0.137,p=0.006); all controls had similar scores. COMT Val/Val patients also performed equally to controls. As COMT Met allele frequency increased, cognitive functioning worsened in patients; this effect was maximum when combined with DRD3 Ser/Ser. Conclusions: Results support the influence of combined genetic polymorphisms related to dopamine in cognitive functioning in schizophrenia. More studies considering epistatic effects of multiple polymorphisms should be conducted to assess candidate endophenotypes.
