突然心血来潮,进入学校图书馆,数据库web of science,输入关键字:autism 结果大概有36,520篇的文献是关于孤独症的。 接着,把countries/territories中限定为China.... 结果意想不到。。。。。 一位数?????????4.。。。。。 差点忘了,China还包括香港,台湾。。。继续。。。 这四篇的第一单位分别是: 1. Univ Hong Kong, Dept Psychiat, Pokfulam, Hong Kong, Peoples R China 2. Peking Univ, Inst Mental Hlth, Beijing 100083, Peoples R China 3. Univ Hong Kong, Dept Paediat Adolescent Med, Div Neurodev Paediat, Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Peoples R China 4. Univ Hong Kong, Div Neurodev Paediat, Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Peoples R China 其中三篇来自于香港大学,一篇来自于北京大学第六医院,精神卫生研究所,做的还基因受体。晕。。。 对了,好像中科院心理研究所陈楚桥 Raymond C.K. Chen刚在Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders 这个杂志发表了一篇关于孤独症归因理论的文章。国内的第一篇心理学来研究孤独症的文章发表。。。 Chan, R. C. K., Hu, Z., Cui, J., Wang, Y., McAlonan, G. M. (2011).

孤独症特征主要表现为社会交往障碍、语言交流技巧障碍,以及重复刻板的行为和狭窄的兴趣。作为目前世界上患病人数增长最快的疾病之一,孤独症越来越受关注,但发病机理依旧是一个谜团,存在争议。到目前为止,没有人了解什么诱发了孤独症,即使处于领域最前沿的研究者,也从未找到最直接的诱因。在以往的研究进展中,研究者获得的结论是,有一种基因显然和孤独症有关。但全球三分之一的人口携带这种基因,并不是所有人都患上孤独症。这种精神病的发作,被确定和环境影响有关。 去年,美国著名学术期刊《环境与健康展望》( EHP ) 12 月中刊登了一项研究结果,将儿童患孤独症的风险,和母亲孕期所住地段联系起来:如果孕期住在高速公路附近,或儿童是在高速公路附近的房屋里出生,那么这些孩子得孤独症的风险,将比其他孩子高出一倍。至少,这个研究结果证明了环境与孤独症的关联性。 提到环境,我们不能不想到几十年内,变化急剧的人类的生存环境,可以说人类一直处于这种“ chemical soup ”中,特别是神经毒性的化学物质。到底它们怎么对机体造成损伤,到底两者之间是如何相互作用的,可以说我们一概不清。 2010 年,加拿大对国人体内的双酚 A 和铅的含量做了流行病学调查,结果发现,双酚 A 和铅在人体内血液、尿液、毛发中普遍存在。也许“禁止含铅汽油”的缘故,铅的含量有明显下降,而环境雌激素的典型代表——双酚 A 急剧增多。双酚 A 和铅都是神经毒性物质,同时二者也都属于内分泌干扰物,而且在人类生存环境中普遍共存。所以,我构建了低水平的铅和双酚 A 青春期联合暴露的小鼠模型。之所以选择青春期,是因为 “ Adolescence is best defined by characteristic adolescent behaviors that include high levels of risk-taking, high exploration, novelty and sensation seeking, social interaction, high activity and play behaviors that likely promote the acquisition of the necessary skills for maturation and independence ” ( Spear , 2000 ) 此外,尽管自闭症儿童研究是热点,研究成人“没有吸引力”。但是,成人代表着更大的挑战,成人自闭症对社会的影响更大,更难治疗。社会行为是自闭症的核心特征,其实这也是我研究青春期暴露检测成年社会行为的意义所在。 目前,我的研究结果表明:铅和双酚 A 联合暴露的前期行为学检测表明,雄性小鼠的“社会交往能力”下降,而雌性升高。同时,分子生物学水平表明二者的毒性在雄性表现协同,而在雌性表现拮抗。看来生存不利的风险因子,反而有利于雌性生存。本研究的数据正在处理中,有可能会确定铅和双酚 A 是自闭症的风险因子,同时也会为自闭症的诱因提供了新的认识,更好地解释男性自闭症患者远远超过女性的结论。 本研究的的成果,期望投在《 Environmental Health Perspectives 》(毒理学研究的头牌),但愿后面的实验顺利地发现更多的支持数据。(吼吼,为自己鼓鼓劲,哈哈,我要笑傲科研)。

Ungerleider, National Institute of Mental Health, Bethesda, MD, and approved January 7, 2010 (received for review September 8, 2009) Abstract Social adaptation requires specific cognitive and emotional competences. Individuals with high-functioning autism or with Asperger syndrome cannot understand or engage in social situations despite preserved intellectual abilities. Recently, it has been suggested that oxytocin, a hormone known to promote mother-infant bonds, may be implicated in the social deficit of autism. We investigated the behavioral effects of oxytocin in 13 subjects with autism. In a simulated ball game where participants interacted with fictitious partners, we found that after oxytocin inhalation, patients exhibited stronger interactions with the most socially cooperative partner and reported enhanced feelings of trust and preference. Also, during free viewing of pictures of faces, oxytocin selectively increased patients gazing time on the socially informative region of the face, namely the eyes. Thus, under oxytocin, patients respond more strongly to others and exhibit more appropriate social behavior and affect, suggesting a therapeutic potential of oxytocin through its action on a core dimension of autism.
