Abstract
Is to identify the relationships of quantitative clinical, EEG and neuroimmunological parameters in young female patients with depression and a history of suicidal attempts in order to clarify the role of neuroimmune interaction in the pathogenesis of suicidal behavior. In 35 female patients aged 16-25 years the pre-treatment severity of the depressive state was quantitatively assessed (according to the HDRS-17 scale), and immunological parameters - markers of neuroinflammation (activity of leukocyte elastase and of α1-proteinase inhibitor) in blood plasma using the laboratory technology «Neuro-immuno-test» and the EEG absolute spectral power in narrow frequency sub-bands were measured. The relationships between clinical, neuroimmunological and EEG parameters was determined by correlation analysis (according to Spearman). The values of immunological markers of neuroinflammation correlated with EEG signs of increased activation of the cerebral cortex and with the severity of the anxiety component of the depressive state. The structure of clinical-neurobiological correlations in the examined patients indicates the involvement of neuroinflammation processes in the pathogenesis of their condition. The results make it possible to clarify the neurobiological factors of the pathogenesis of suicidal behavior in young depressive patients.
