    Abstract Dystonia and chorea are uncommon accompaniments, but sometimes the presenting features of certain acquired systemic disorders that presumably alter basal ganglia function. Hypoxia-ischaemia may injure the basal ganglia through hypoperfusion of subcortical vascular watershed regions and by altering striatal neurotransmitter systems. Toxins interfere with striatal mitochondrial function, resulting in cellular hypoxia. Infections may affect the basal ganglia by causing vasculitic ischaemia, through the development of antibodies to basal ganglia epitopes, by direct invasion of the basal ganglia by the organism, or through cytotoxins causing neuronal injury. Autoimmune disorders alter striatal function by causing a vasculopathy, by direct reaction of antibodies with basal ganglia epitopes, or by stimulating the generation of a cytotoxic or inflammatory reaction. Endocrine and electrolyte abnormalities influence neurotransmitter balance or affect ion channel function and signalling in the basal ganglia. In general, the production of chorea involves dysfunction of the indirect pathway from the caudate and putamen to the internal globus pallidus, whereas dystonia is generated by dysfunction of the direct pathway. The time of the onset of the movement disorder relative to the primary disease process, and course vary with the age of the patient and the underlying pathology. Treatment of dystonia or chorea associated with a systemic medical disorder must initially consider the systemic disorder.

    Abstract Background: Anxiety disorders complicate the treatment of bipolar disorder but are seldom the focus of bipolar treatment studies.
    Methods: The anxiolytic effect of quetiapine XR 50-300 mg/day compared to divalproex ER (500-3000 mg/day) was tested in an 8-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial in 149 patients with bipolar disorder and a co-occurring panic disorder or GAD. The primary efficacy measure was the Clinician Global Improvement-21 Anxiety Scale (CGI-21). Secondary measures included the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAM-A) and Sheehan Panic Disorder Scale (SPS).
    Results: Repeated measures last-observation-carried-forward (LOCF) analyses of variance demonstrated significant treatment-by-time interaction effects on 3 of the 4 anxiety measures. Quetiapine XR at a mean endpoint dose of 186 mg/day produced rapid sustained improvements relative to baseline, divalproex ER and placebo on anxiety. Mean baseline-to-endpoint improvement was significantly greater for quetiapine XR compared to divalproex ER and placebo on the HAM-A and SPS. Both active medications were well tolerated, but weight gain was higher on quetiapine XR.
    Limitations: The study was limited to 8 weeks and to patients with bipolar disorder and comorbid panic disorder or GAD. The results may not be applicable to quetiapine XR as an add-on treatment to mood stabilizers or to bipolar disorder comorbid with other anxiety disorders.
    Conclusions: Quetiapine XR in a dose range of 50-300 mg/day appears to reduce anxiety in bipolar patients with comorbid panic disorder or GAD treated for 8 weeks. The efficacy of other second-generation antipsychotics and mood stabilizers in patients with bipolar disorder and a co-occurring anxiety disorder should be investigated in double-blind, placebo-controlled studies.

    Abstract Y79 human retinoblastoma cells synthesize melatonin in cell culture thus providing a unique preparation for studying the regulation of melatonin biosynthesis in mammalian retinas. We have previously demonstrated that Y79 cells express NAT and HIOMT activity and produce melatonin in a cAMP- and protein synthesis-dependent manner by increasing NAT, and not HIOMT activity, as has been demonstrated in other retinal and pineal melatonin synthesizing systems. We have extended these studies to investigate the role of RNA synthesis in melatonin regulation, and report here that RNA synthesis inhibitors do not suppress melatonin production in Y79 retinoblastoma cells. Rather, at intermediate concentrations, the inhibitors actinomycin D and camptothecin increase melatonin levels. Camptothecin, a topoisomerase I inhibitor, also increased NAT activity and accumulated cAMP levels in a calcium-dependent manner. This effect on cAMP did not appear to occur through phosphodiesterase, and other regulators of retinal melatonin such as melatonin degradation or components of the dopamine system were unaffected. These results are in contrast with the suppression of melatonin synthesis by RNA synthesis inhibitors observed in rat and chick pineal glands and in chick retinas.

    Abstract Melatonin is synthesized by the vertebrate pineal gland in a circadian fashion and is involved in numerous circadian and seasonal processes in the organism. The vertebrate retina also produces melatonin rhythmically to regulate rhythmic physiological processes in the eye. In both organs, melatonin is synthesized from serotonin by the sequential action of the enzymes, N-acetyltransferase (NAT) and hydroxyindole-O-methyltransferase (HIOMT), and can be stimulated by increases in cyclic AMP through a mechanism requiring protein synthesis. The regulation of ocular melatonin biosynthesis in mammals and particularly humans, has not been well studied. Recently, we have shown that Y79 human retinoblastoma cells produce melatonin and that cAMP can stimulate melatonin production. Y79 cells, therefore, provide a model system in which to study melatonin synthesis in human tissue. We report that cAMP stimulates NAT, but not HIOMT activity in Y79 cells, and that stimulation of NAT activity is linearly related to melatonin release. In addition, the stimulation of NAT and melatonin requires protein synthesis. The turnover of NAT is rather rapid, with a half-life of about 20 min. These results suggest that the regulation of melatonin in Y79 retinoblastoma cells is similar to that found in the retina and pineal of other vertebrates.

    Abstract The synthesis of melatonin in Xenopus retinas, chick and quail retinal cell cultures, and Y79 human retinoblastoma cells is stimulated by cAMP through a protein synthesis-dependent mechanism. In Y79 retinoblastoma cells, combined treatment with the RNA synthesis inhibitor camptothecin and agents that elevate cAMP, such as forskolin, causes a synergistic elevation of melatonin. Using two-dimensional gel analysis we have identified a 30 kDa cytosolic protein (p30) whose radiolabeling was consistently increased in parallel with increases in arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase activity and melatonin production that were induced by forskolin and/or camptothecin. Pulse-chase experiments suggest that the elevation in radiolabeling of p30 is due to increased synthesis. Three candidate proteins found in the mammalian pineal, protein 14-3-3, malate dehydrogenase, and recoverin, do not comigrate with p30.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate the concurrent validity and reliability of the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview for Children and Adolescents (MINI-KID), a short structured diagnostic interview for DSM-IV and ICD-10 psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents.
    Method: Participants were 226 children and adolescents (190 outpatients and 36 controls) aged 6 to 17 years. To assess the concurrent validity of the MINI-KID, participants were administered the MINI-KID and the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School Aged Children-Present and Lifetime Version (K-SADS-PL) by blinded interviewers in a counterbalanced order on the same day. Participants also completed a self-rated measure of disability. In addition, interrater (n = 57) and test-retest (n = 83) reliability data (retest interval, 1-5 days) were collected, and agreement between the parent version of the MINI-KID and the standard MINI-KID (n = 140) was assessed. Data were collected between March 2004 and January 2008.
    Results: Substantial to excellent MINI-KID to K-SADS-PL concordance was found for syndromal diagnoses of any mood disorder, any anxiety disorder, any substance use disorder, any ADHD or behavioral disorder, and any eating disorder (area under curve [AUC] = 0.81-0.96, kappa = 0.56-0.87). Results were more variable for psychotic disorder (AUC = 0.94, kappa = 0.41). Sensitivity was substantial (0.61-1.00) for 15/20 individual DSM-IV disorders. Specificity was excellent (0.81-1.00) for 18 disorders and substantial (> 0.73) for the remaining 2. The MINI-KID identified a median of 3 disorders per subject compared to 2 on the K-SADS-PL and took two-thirds less time to administer (34 vs 103 minutes). Interrater and test-retest kappas were substantial to almost perfect (0.64-1.00) for all individual MINI-KID disorders except dysthymia. Concordance of the parent version (MINI-KID-P) with the standard MINI-KID was good.
    Conclusions: The MINI-KID generates reliable and valid psychiatric diagnoses for children and adolescents and does so in a third of the time as the K-SADS-PL.

    Abstract We have studied the relative contributions of muscle activity and nerve-supplied materials to the regulation of AChE molecular forms during postnatal development of muscles in normal mice and in mice with motor endplate disease (med mice). Onset of this hereditary disease causes a progressive failure of evoked release of ACh from the motor neuron, which prevents contraction in muscles such as biceps and soleus. In these innervated but inactive muscles, one can examine the consequences of inactivity on the distribution of AChE forms. In normal mouse biceps the distribution of AChE forms, as shown by sucrose-gradient analysis, change substantially after birth; the most dramatic alteration is an increase in G4 AChE from 15 to 45% of total AChE during the third postnatal week. AChE profiles in normal or med biceps are indistinguishable until 10-12 d after birth, but the changes in distribution of AChE forms does not occur in med biceps nor in normal biceps denervated 2 weeks after birth. In contrast, the distributions of AChE forms in a predominantly slow muscle, the soleus, are similar in med and normal mice both early (10 d) and late (20 d) in the course of the disease, and the distributions are affected little by denervation. The profiles of AChE forms seen in normal soleus at all times studied resembled those seen in newborn biceps or biceps inactivated by denervation or the med disease. We conclude that neither innervation, age-dependent changes intrinsic to muscle, nor muscle activity is sufficient to induce the changes we seen in AChE forms in biceps. These results support the hypothesis that neonatal, inactive, or tonically active muscles produce an intrinsic pattern of AChE molecular forms, and that a phasic pattern of activity induces a postnatal redistribution of the AChE molecular forms expressed by the muscle.

    Abstract Background: The treatment of bipolar disorder is often complicated by the presence of a co-occuring anxiety disorder. Although second generation antipsychotics are being used with increasing frequency in bipolar patients, their anxiolytic effects have not been well studied in this population.
    Methods: The anxiolytic effect of risperidone 0.5-4 mg/day was tested in an 8-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial in 111 patients with bipolar disorder and a co-occuring panic disorder or generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). The primary outcome measure was the Clinician Global Improvement-21 Anxiety scale (CGI-21 Anxiety). Secondary measures included the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAM-A) and the Sheehan Panic Disorder Scale.
    Results: On the last-observation-carried forward analysis of repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA), risperidone was not more effective than placebo for the CGI-21 Anxiety score or the other anxiety outcome measures. Risperidone was well tolerated, with only two patients withdrawing because of adverse events.
    Limitations: The risperidone treated group had more patients with mixed states and lifetime panic disorder at randomization than the placebo group. The study was limited to 8 weeks and to individuals with bipolar and comorbid panic disorder or GAD. The results may not be applicable to risperidone as an add-on treatment to mood stabilizers, or to bipolar disorder comorbid with anxiety disorders other than panic disorder or GAD.
    Conclusions: Risperidone monotherapy was not an effective anxiolytic for bipolar patients with comorbid panic disorder or GAD in doses of 0.5-4 mg/day over 8 weeks of treatment. The efficacy of other second generation antipsychotics and mood stabilizers on anxiety in patients with bipolar disorder and a co-occuring anxiety disorder should be investigated in double-blind, placebo-controlled studies.

    Abstract Antibody is of primary importance for protection from poliovirus-induced paralysis (poliomyelitis) and from other enterovirus infections. However, the components of the immune response involved in the clearance of an established enterovirus infection of the central nervous system (CNS) are not known. To assess the effect of thymus-dependent immune functions on a CNS poliovirus infection, adult BALB/c mice inoculated intracerebrally with the W-2 strain of human poliovirus type 2 (PV2) were treated with anti-thymocyte serum (ATS) and analyzed for clinical disease, virus persistence, antibody responses, and T-cell proliferation (Tprlf). Half (22 of 44) of the ATS-treated mice showed paralysis and death as compared to 27% (17 of 62) of control mice treated with normal rabbit serum. Virus persisted in the brain for 45 days after infection in 43% (13 of 30) of ATS-treated mice as compared to 3% (1 of 30) of controls. Tprlf to PV as well as Tprlf and antibody responses to control antigens were markedly reduced in ATS-treated mice. However, antibody responses to PV in ATS-treated mice were not suppressed, suggesting that PV may be a T-cell-independent antigen. These findings indicate that ATS-suppressible functions contribute to the clearance of PV from the mouse CNS, apparently via a sensitized T-cell mechanism.
