The vast majority of Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) patients have other associated pathologies, with depressive symptoms as one of the most prevalent. Among the mediators that may participate in ADHD, melatonin is thought to regulate circadian rhythms, neurological function and stress response. To determine (1) the serum baseline daily variations and nocturnal excretion of melatonin in ADHD subtypes and (2) the effect of chronic administration of methylphenidate, as well as the effects on symptomatology, 136 children with ADHD (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision: DSM-IV-TR criteria) were divided into subgroups using the “Children’s Depression Inventory” (CDI). Blood samples were drawn at 20:00 and 09:00 h, and urine was collected between 21:00 and 09:00 h, at inclusion and after 4.61 ± 2.29 months of treatment. Melatonin and its urine metabolite were measured by radioimmunoassay RIA. Factorial analysis was performed using STATA 12.0. Melatonin was higher predominantly in hyperactive-impulsive/conduct disordered children (PHI/CD) of the ADHD subtype, without the influence of comorbid depressive symptoms. Methylphenidate ameliorated this comorbidity without induction of any changes in the serum melatonin profile, but treatment with it was associated with a decrease in 6-s-melatonin excretion in both ADHD subtypes. Conclusions: In untreated children, partial homeostatic restoration of disrupted neuroendocrine equilibrium most likely led to an increased serum melatonin in PHI/CD children. A differential cerebral melatonin metabolization after methylphenidate may underlie some of the clinical benefit. 相似文献

This work reports on the kinematics of a series-parallel manipulator built with two zero-torsion tangential parallel manipulators assembled in series connection. Although this mechanism has been widely studied, there are some topics that must be revised, e.g. the mobility analysis here reported shows that the robot under study is not precisely a six degrees of freedom spatial mechanism as it has been commonly considered. Furthermore, the traditional hexagonal coupler platform is replaced with a three-dimensional platform which yields a mechanism with a more general topology. The forward and inverse displacement analyses of the robot are obtained in semi-closed form solutions based on simple closure equations which are generated upon the coordinates of three points embedded to the moving platform while the input–output equations of velocity and acceleration of the semi-general series-parallel manipulator are easily derived by resorting to reciprocal-screw theory. A case study is included in order to show the application of the method of kinematic analysis. 相似文献
