Subterminal motor nerve abnormalities in psychotic patients
摘要:
THERE is considerable evidence of neuromuscular dysfunction in most patients with all types of the functional psychoses. Examples of such dysfunction are (1) increased activity of skeletal-muscle-type creatine phosphokinase (CPK) in serum in the acute stage of psychosis 1–4 ; (2) abnormally large increases in serum CPK activity with a standardised exercise test performed by patients in symptomatic remission 5 ; (3) morphological abnormalities in skeletal muscle fibres at biopsy, particularly scattered atrophic fibres and extensive areas of Z-band streaming 6–8 ; and (4) abnormalities of eye movements in tracking a pendulum 9 . The skeletal muscle fibre abnormalities found in psychotic patients are likely to be neurogenic in origin 10 .
