Jiang Q, Li T, Zhao L, Sun Y, Mao Z, Xing Y, Wang C, Bo Q. Treatment of antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia: an umbrella review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Front Psychiatry 2024; 15:1337274. [PMID: 38505795 PMCID: PMC10948402 DOI: 10.3389/fpsyt.2024.1337274] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2023] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 03/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Hyperprolactinemia is a common antipsychotic-induced adverse event in psychiatric patients, and the quality of clinical studies investigating the best treatments has varied. Thus, to better summarize the clinical evidence, we performed an umbrella review of overlapping systematic reviews and meta-analyses for the treatment of antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia. Methods The PubMed, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, Scopus and EMBASE were searched, and reviews and meta-analyses meeting our inclusion criteria were selected. Relevant data were extracted, and an umbrella review was conducted of all included meta-analyses. The quality of included meta-analyses was assessed by using PRISMA scores and AMSTAR 2 quality evaluation. Finally, the clinical evidence for appropriate treatments was summarized and discussed. Results Five meta-analyses published between 2013 and 2020 met the requirements for inclusion in this umbrella review. The PRISMA scores of the included meta-analyses ranged from 19.5-26. AMSTAR 2 quality evaluation showed that 2 of the 5 included meta-analyses were of low quality and 3 were of very low quality. The included meta-analyses provide clinical evidence that adding aripiprazole or a dopamine agonist can effectively and safely improve antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia. Two meta-analyses also showed that adjunctive metformin can reduce serum prolactin level, but more clinical trials are needed to confirm this finding. Conclusion Adjunctive dopamine agonists have been proven to be effective and safe for the treatment of antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia. Among the researched treatments, adding aripiprazole may be the most appropriate.

Abstract
PURPOSE Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely used to treat a range of gastrointestinal diseases around the world. Long-term use of PPIs has been associated to a variety of undesirable effects. Although short-term therapy has been shown to have little or no effect on endocrine hormone in women, however, its long-term safety has received little attention. We aimed at evaluating long-term use of PPIs and its effects on female reproductive hormones as well as related clinical consequences. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted in two outpatient gastroenterology clinics in the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. This study included female patients who had been using PPIs on a regular basis for 3 months or more. RESULTS In total of 101 participants, patients with sexual complaints have significantly altered levels of prolactin (p = 0.05), estrogen (p < 0.001) and progesterone (p = 0.001) than patient without sexual complaints. The frequency of amenorrhea (p < 0.001), cyclic disturbances (p < 0.001), breast augmentation (p = 0.001) and painful breast (p = 0.004) were statistically significant in patients with raised serum prolactin values. Serum values of Sex hormone binding globulin SHBG (p < 0.001), estradiol (p = 0.002) and total testosterone (p < 0.001) were significantly altered between normal prolactin and hyperprolactinemic patients. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that long-term PPI use may cause endocrine hormone disturbances leading to sexual difficulties in women.

Abstract
Prolactin is a hormone secreted from lactotroph cells in the anterior pituitary gland to induce lactation after birth. Hyperprolactinemia unrelated to lactation is a common cause of amenorrhea in women of a childbearing age, and a consequent decrease in the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) by a high prolactin level can result in decreased bone mineral density. Osteoporosis is a common skeletal disorder characterized by decreased bone mineral density (BMD) and quality, which results in decreased bone strength. In patients with hyperprolactinemia, changes in BMD can be induced indirectly by the inhibition of the GnRH-gonadal axis due to increased prolactin levels or by the direct action of prolactin on osteoblasts and, possibly, osteoclast cells. This review highlights the recent work on bone remodeling and discusses our knowledge of how prolactin modulates these interactions, with a brief literature review on the relationship between prolactin and bone metabolism and suggestions for new possibilities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The clinical debut of schizophrenia is frequently a first episode of psychosis (FEP). As such, there is considerable interest in identifying associations between biological markers and clinical or cognitive characteristics that help predict the progression and outcome of FEP patients. Previous studies showed that high prolactin, low oxytocin, and high homocysteine are factors associated with FEP 6 months after diagnosis, at which point plasma levels were correlated with some clinical and cognitive characteristics. METHODS We reexamined 75 patients at 12 months after diagnosis to measure the evolution of these molecules and assess their association with clinical features. RESULTS At follow-up, FEP patients had lower prolactin levels than at baseline, and patients treated with risperidone or paliperidone had higher prolactin levels than patients who received other antipsychotic agents. By contrast, no changes in oxytocin and homocysteine plasma levels were observed between the baseline and follow-up. In terms of clinical features, we found that plasma prolactin and homocysteine levels were correlated with the severity of the psychotic symptoms in male FEP patients, suggesting that they might be factors associated with psychotic symptomatology but only in men. Together with oxytocin, these molecules may also be related to sustained attention, verbal ability, and working memory cognitive domains in FEP patients. CONCLUSION This study suggests that focusing on prolactin, oxytocin, and homocysteine at a FEP may help select adequate pharmacological treatments and develop new tools to improve the outcome of these patients, where sex should also be borne in mind.

Selected neuroendocrine factors as potential molecular biomarkers of early non-affective psychosis course in relation to treatment outcome: A pilot study. Heliyon 2023; 9:e21173. [PMID: 37916075 PMCID: PMC10616415 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e21173] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2022] [Revised: 10/16/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 11/03/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of this pilot study was to find whether the dysregulation of neuroendocrine biomarker signaling pathways in the first episode of non-affective psychosis is a predictive factor of treatment outcome. Patients with the first episode of non-affective psychosis (N = 29) were examined at admission, at discharge, and at follow-up (N = 23). The biomarkers included serum aldosterone, cortisol, free thyroxine, thyroid stimulating hormone, and prolactin. We revealed lower baseline aldosterone and higher baseline cortisol concentrations in patients with very good outcome compared to those with good outcome after one year. We failed to reveal any significant association between treatment outcome and neurohumoral biomarkers in the whole sample at 1-year follow-up. However, baseline aldosterone concentrations negatively correlated with total PANSS scores at the discharge. Lower baseline aldosterone and higher baseline cortisol concentrations have the potential to predict a more favorable outcome for patients with the first episode of psychosis.

Relapse in patients with schizophrenia and amisulpride-induced hyperprolactinemia or olanzapine-induced metabolic disturbance after switching to other antipsychotics. Psychiatry Res 2023; 322:115138.

Abstract
Hyperprolactinemia and metabolic disturbance are common side effects of antipsychotics that cause intolerance. Despite its potential influence on relapse, there are no established guidelines for antipsychotic switching. This naturalistic study explored the association between antipsychotic switching, baseline clinical status, metabolic changes, and relapse in patients with schizophrenia. In total, 177 patients with amisulpride-induced hyperprolactinemia and 274 with olanzapine-induced metabolic disturbance were enrolled. Relapse was determined by assessing changes in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total scores from baseline to 6 months (increased over 20% or 10% reaching 70). Metabolic indices were measured at baseline and 3 months. Patients with baseline PANSS >60 were more likely to relapse. Further, patients switching to aripiprazole had a higher risk of relapse regardless of their original medication. Participants who originally used amisulpride had reduced prolactin levels following medication change, while switching to olanzapine caused increased weight and blood glucose levels. In patients originally using olanzapine, only switching to aripiprazole reduced insulin resistance. Adverse effects on weight and lipid metabolism were observed in patients who switched to risperidone, while amisulpride improved lipid profiles. Changing schizophrenia treatment requires careful consideration of multiple variables, particularly the choice of substituted drug and the patient's baseline symptoms.

Prolactin and morning cortisol concentrations in antipsychotic naïve first episode psychosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Psychoneuroendocrinology 2023; 150:106049. [PMID: 36758330 DOI: 10.1016/j.psyneuen.2023.106049] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2022] [Revised: 01/02/2023] [Accepted: 02/02/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
IMPORTANCE Alterations in prolactin and cortisol levels have been reported in antipsychotic naïve patients with first episode psychosis (FEP). However, it has been studied in very small samples, and inter-group variability has never been studied before. OBJECTIVE To provide estimates of standardized mean differences (SMD) and inter-group variability for prolactin, cortisol awakening response (CAR) and morning cortisol concentrations in antipsychotic naïve FEP (AN-FEP) patients and healthy controls (HC). DATA SOURCES BIOSIS, KCI, MEDLINE, Russian Science Citation Index, SciELO, Cochrane, PsycINFO, Web of Science were searched from inception to February 28, 2022. STUDY SELECTION Peer-reviewed cohort studies that reported on prolactin or cortisol blood concentrations in AN- FEP patients and HC were included. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS Study characteristics, means and standard deviations (SD) were extracted from each article. Inter group differences in magnitude of effect were estimated using Hedges g. Inter-group variability was estimated with the coefficient of variation ratio (CVR). In both cases estimates were pooled using random-effects meta-analysis. Differences by study-level characteristics were estimated using meta-regression. PRISMA guideline was followed (No. CRD42022303555). MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Prolactin, CAR and morning cortisol blood concentrations in AN-FEP group in relation to HC group. RESULTS Fourteen studies for prolactin (N = 761 for AN-FEP group, N = 687 for HC group) and twelve studies for morning cortisol (N = 434 for AN-FEP group, N = 528 for HC group) were included. No studies were found in CAR in AN-FEP patients. Mean SMD for prolactin blood concentration was 0.88 (95% CI 0.57, 1.20) for male and 0.56 (95% CI 0.26, 0.87) for female. As a group, AN-FEP presented greater inter-group variability for prolactin levels than HC (CVR=1.28, 95% CI 1.02, 1.62). SMD for morning cortisol concentrations was non-significant: 0.34 (95% CI -0.01, 0.69) and no inter-group variability significant differences were detected: CVR= 1.05 (95% CI 0.91, 1.20). Meta-regression analyses for age and quality were non-significant. Funnel plots did not suggest a publication bias. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Increased prolactin levels were found in AN-FEP patients. A greater inter-group variability in the AN-FEP group suggests the existence of patient subgroups with different prolactin levels. No significant abnormalities were found in morning cortisol levels. Further research is needed to clarify whether prolactin concentrations could be used as an illness biomarker.

Consolidation of metabolomic, proteomic, and GWAS data in connective model of schizophrenia. Sci Rep 2023; 13:2139. [PMID: 36747015 PMCID: PMC9901842 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-29117-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2022] [Accepted: 01/31/2023] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Despite of multiple systematic studies of schizophrenia based on proteomics, metabolomics, and genome-wide significant loci, reconstruction of underlying mechanism is still a challenging task. Combination of the advanced data for quantitative proteomics, metabolomics, and genome-wide association study (GWAS) can enhance the current fundamental knowledge about molecular pathogenesis of schizophrenia. In this study, we utilized quantitative proteomic and metabolomic assay, and high throughput genotyping for the GWAS study. We identified 20 differently expressed proteins that were validated on an independent cohort of patients with schizophrenia, including ALS, A1AG1, PEDF, VTDB, CERU, APOB, APOH, FASN, GPX3, etc. and almost half of them are new for schizophrenia. The metabolomic survey revealed 18 group-specific compounds, most of which were the part of transformation of tyrosine and steroids with the prevalence to androgens (androsterone sulfate, thyroliberin, thyroxine, dihydrotestosterone, androstenedione, cholesterol sulfate, metanephrine, dopaquinone, etc.). The GWAS assay mostly failed to reveal significantly associated loci therefore 52 loci with the smoothened p < 10-5 were fractionally integrated into proteome-metabolome data. We integrated three omics layers and powered them by the quantitative analysis to propose a map of molecular events associated with schizophrenia psychopathology. The resulting interplay between different molecular layers emphasizes a strict implication of lipids transport, oxidative stress, imbalance in steroidogenesis and associated impartments of thyroid hormones as key interconnected nodes essential for understanding of how the regulation of distinct metabolic axis is achieved and what happens in the conditioned proteome and metabolome to produce a schizophrenia-specific pattern.

Shan Y, Cheung L, Zhou Y, Huang Y, Huang RS. A systematic review on sex differences in adverse drug reactions related to psychotropic, cardiovascular, and analgesic medications. Front Pharmacol 2023; 14:1096366. [PMID: 37201021 PMCID: PMC10185891 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2023.1096366] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2022] [Accepted: 04/10/2023] [Indexed: 05/20/2023] Open
Abstract
Background and objective: Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are the main safety concerns of clinically used medications. Accumulating evidence has shown that ADRs can affect men and women differently, which suggests sex as a biological predictor in the risk of ADRs. This review aims to summarize the current state of knowledge on sex differences in ADRs with the focus on the commonly used psychotropic, cardiovascular, and analgesic medications, and to aid clinical decision making and future mechanistic investigations on this topic. Methods: PubMed search was performed with combinations of the following terms: over 1,800 drugs of interests, sex difference (and its related terms), and side effects (and its related terms), which yielded over 400 unique articles. Articles related to psychotropic, cardiovascular, and analgesic medications were included in the subsequent full-text review. Characteristics and the main findings (male-biased, female-biased, or not sex biased ADRs) of each included article were collected, and the results were summarized by drug class and/or individual drug. Results: Twenty-six articles studying sex differences in ADRs of six psychotropic medications, ten cardiovascular medications, and one analgesic medication were included in this review. The main findings of these articles suggested that more than half of the ADRs being evaluated showed sex difference pattern in occurrence rate. For instance, lithium was found to cause more thyroid dysfunction in women, and amisulpride induced prolactin increase was more pronounced in women than in men. Some serious ADRs were also found to exert sex difference pattern, such as clozapine induced neutropenia was more prevalent in women whereas simvastatin/atorvastatin-related abnormal liver functions were more pronounced in men.

[DOI: 10.52965/001c.35500] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2022] [Accepted: 04/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction The management of delusional disorder (DD) remains difficult due to poor patient insight and a lack of definitive treatment guidelines. For the somatic subtype specifically, prior studies have shown successful treatment with the first-generation antipsychotics (FGA) pimozide, but these studies did not specify the nature of the delusions. It has been theorized that pimozide effectiveness is due to its unique ability to relieve itching sensations, which are commonly associated with somatic delusions (e.g., delusions of parasitosis). The use of FGAs is not without risk, however, and should be avoided when possible due to the significant side-effect profile. Thus, there is a need for safer alternatives for the treatment of somatic-type DD. This manuscript discusses a case of DD characterized by painful sensations of glass under the skin managed with the second-generation antipsychotic olanzapine. Case A 67-year-old female with a past medical history including depression presented to the ED with complaints of glass in her hands and fingernails bilaterally. The patient has been evaluated by several physicians in the past without any evidence of glass being found. She was able factually able to describe that others viewed her complaints as irrational, but she refused to accept this as truth. Cognitive screening testing was normal, and a physical exam showed several areas of excoriation on the hands and arms bilaterally, a removed left thumbnail, and a thin frame (BMI: 18.02). The patient was admitted to the psychiatry service, where organic causes were ruled out (infection, metabolic abnormalities, drug use). The patient received olanzapine 5mg PO nightly treatment with adjunctive psychotherapy and experienced acute psychotic relief after a two-day admission period. She did not endorse any side effects from the medication. Discussion To our knowledge, there haven’t been prior studies exploring treatment efficacy in somatic-type DD subdivided by the nature of false bodily sensation. Despite this limitation, it was found that most cases of somatic-type DD characterized by foreign bodies under the skin were treated with pimozide. Although this drug appears to be a reasonable option for the more common presentation involving false pruritis, it might not be recommended for rare presentations that don’t involve itchiness due to the high risk of adverse symptoms. Accordingly, clinicians should consider the nature of the delusions along with the unique side effect profile of the pharmacological therapy as any harm might outweigh the potential benefit. This was highlighted in the current presentation as clinicians determined olanzapine to be the most appropriate treatment despite no similar cases of DD described in the literature. Furthermore, this case exemplified the utility of second-generation antipsychotics in the treatment of somatic-type DD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Approximately 3% of the population suffers a first episode of psychosis (FEP), and a high percentage of these patients subsequently relapse. Because the clinical course following a FEP is hard to predict, it is of interest to identify cognitive and biological markers that will help improve the diagnosis, treatment, and outcome of such events and to define new therapeutic targets. Here we analyzed the plasma oxytocin and prolactin levels during an FEP, assessing their correlation with clinical and cognitive features. METHODS The oxytocin and prolactin in plasma was measured in 120 FEP patients and 106 healthy controls, all of whom were subjected to a clinical and neuropsychological assessment. Most patients were under antipsychotics. Statistical analyses aimed to identify factors associated with the FEP and to search for associations between the variables. This study is preliminary and exploratory because the P-values were not corrected for multiple comparisons. RESULTS FEP patients had less oxytocin, more prolactin, and a poor premorbid IQ, and they performed worse in sustained attention. Male patients with higher prolactin levels experienced more severe psychotic symptoms and required higher doses of antipsychotics. Low oxytocin was associated with poor sustained attention in women, whereas low oxytocin and high prolactin in men correlated with better performance in sustained attention. CONCLUSION Low oxytocin, high prolactin, and poor premorbid IQ and sustained attention are factors associated with an FEP, representing potential therapeutic targets in these patients. These biological factors and cognitive domains might play an important role during a FEP, which could help us to develop new strategies that improve the outcomes of this disorder and that should perhaps be gender specific.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Available evidence suggests elevated serum prolactin (PRL) levels in olanzapine (OLZ)-treated patients with schizophrenia. However, machine learning (ML)-based comprehensive evaluations of the influence of pathophysiological and pharmacological factors on PRL levels in OLZ-treated patients are rare. We aimed to forecast the PRL level in OLZ-treated patients and mine pharmacovigilance information on PRL-related adverse events by integrating ML and electronic health record (EHR) data. METHODS Data were extracted from an EHR system to construct an ML dataset in 672×384 matrix format after preprocessing, which was subsequently randomly divided into a derivation cohort for model development and a validation cohort for model validation (8:2). The eXtreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) algorithm was used to build the ML models, the importance of the features and predictive behaviors of which were illustrated by SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP)-based analyses. The sequential forward feature selection approach was used to generate the optimal feature subset. The co-administered drugs that might have influenced PRL levels during OLZ treatment as identified by SHAP analyses were then compared with evidence from disproportionality analyses by using OpenVigil FDA. RESULTS The 15 features that made the greatest contributions, as ranked by the mean (|SHAP value|), were identified as the optimal feature subset. The features were gender_male, co-administration of risperidone, age, co-administration of aripiprazole, concentration of aripiprazole, concentration of OLZ, progesterone, co-administration of sulpiride, creatine kinase, serum sodium, serum phosphorus, testosterone, platelet distribution width, α-L-fucosidase, and lipoprotein (a). The XGBoost model after feature selection delivered good performance on the validation cohort with a mean absolute error of 0.046, mean squared error of 0.0036, root-mean-squared error of 0.060, and mean relative error of 11%. Risperidone and aripiprazole exhibited the strongest associations with hyperprolactinemia and decreased blood PRL according to the disproportionality analyses, and both were identified as co-administered drugs that influenced PRL levels during OLZ treatment by SHAP analyses. CONCLUSIONS Multiple pathophysiological and pharmacological confounders influence PRL levels associated with effective treatment and PRL-related side-effects in OLZ-treated patients. Our study highlights the feasibility of integration of ML and EHR data to facilitate the detection of PRL levels and pharmacovigilance signals in OLZ-treated patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Prolactin (PRL) exerts actions in the bone besides lactation and reproduction. This study aimed to investigate whether PRL is related to bone mineral density (BMD) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS A total of 642 patients with T2DM were divided into two groups with age and body mass index (BMI) matched: mildly increased PRL (HP group, n = 101) or normal PRL (NP group, n = 541). BMD was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and compared. RESULTS 1) BMD, T score at lumbar spine L1-4, right hip and femur neck, and Z score at the femur neck were significantly higher in the HP than in the NP group (0.96 ± 0.16 vs. 0.92 ± 0.15g/cm2, p = 0.019; 0.88 ± 0.15vs. 0.84 ± 0.14 g/cm2, p = 0.007; 0.75 ± 0.17 vs.0.70 ± 0.13 g/cm2, p = 0.001; -0.90 (-1.85, -0.20) vs. -1.40 (-2.20, -0.40), p = 0.018; -0.80 (-1.50, -0.30) vs. -1.10 (-1.80, -0.53), p = 0.026; -1.30 (-2.00, -0.60) vs. -1.70 (-2.20, -1.00), p = 0.001; -0.20 (-0.70, 0.30) vs. -0.40 (-0.90, 0.10), p = 0.026). In men, T and Z scores at the right hip and femur neck were significantly higher in the HP than in the NP group (-0.70 (-1.32, 0.20) vs. -0.90 (-1.50, -0.40), p = 0.038; -0.20 (-0.80, 0.20) vs. -0.50 (-0.10, 0.10), p = 0.027; -0.30 (-0.60, -0.30) vs. -0.40 (-0.90, 0.20), p = 0.038) but not in women. Bone turnover markers have no significant difference between groups (all p > 0.05). 2) BMD at the right hip and Z score at the right hip and femur neck were significantly positively associated with PRL (r = 0.087, p = 0.029; r = 0.089, p = 0.024; r = 0.087, p = 0.029). In men, BMD at L1-4 and the right hip; T score at L1-4, the right hip, and the femur neck; and Z score at the right hip and the femur neck were significantly positively associated with PRL (r = 0.122, p = 0.007; r = 0.105, p = 0.041; r = 0.123, p = 0.016; r = 0.110, p = 0.032; r = 0.115, p = 0.025; r = 0.121, p = 0.018; r = 0.138, p = 0.007) but not significant in women. 3) In men divided into two groups according to T score (T score at the right hip>-1 or T score at the right hip≤-1) or the median BMD at L1-4, the right hip or the femur neck, PRL was significantly higher in the higher BMD than in the lower BMD group (16.32 ± 6.12 vs. 14.78 ± 5.68 ng/ml, p = 0.012; 16.20 ± 6.21 vs. 14.73 ± 5.40 ng/ml, p = 0.014; 16.10 ± 6.01 vs. 14.80 ± 5.77 ng/ml, p = 0.032; 16.17 ± 6.04 vs. 14.76 ± 5.77 ng/ml, p = 0.02; 16.48 ± 6.05 vs. 14.98 ± 5.81 ng/ml, p = 0.020; 16.10 ± 5.98 vs. 14.80 ± 5.87 ng/ml, p = 0.035). CONCLUSION Increased PRL was associated with better BMD in patients with T2DM, especially in men. PRL within the biologically normal range may play a protective role in the BMD of T2DM.

Abstract
Risperidone is one of the most commonly used antipsychotics (AP), due to its safety and efficacy in reducing psychotic symptoms. Despite the favorable side effect profile, the therapy is accompanied by side effects due to the non-selectivity of this medicine. This review will briefly highlight the most important basic and clinical findings in this area, consider the clinical effects of AP-induced hyperprolactinemia (HPL), and suggest different approaches to the treatment.The route of application of this drug primarily affects the daily variation and the total concentration of drug levels in the blood, which consequently affects the appearance of side effects, either worsening or even reducing them. Our attention has been drawn to HPL, a frequent but neglected adverse effect observed in cases treated with Risperidone and its secondary manifestations. An increase in prolactin levels above the reference values result in impairment of other somatic functions (lactation, irregular menses, fertility) as well as a significant reduction in quality of life. It has been frequently shown that the side effects of the Risperidone are the most common cause of non-compliance with therapy, resulting in worsening of psychiatric symptoms and hospitalization. However, the mechanism of Risperidone-induced HPL is complicated and still far from fully understood. Most of the preclinical and clinical studies described in this study show that hyperprolactinemia is one of the most common if not the leading side effect of Risperidone therefore to improve the quality of life of these patients, clinicians must recognize and treat HPL associated with the use of these drugs.

Prolactin, metabolic and immune parameters in naïve subjects with a first episode of psychosis. Prog Neuropsychopharmacol Biol Psychiatry 2021; 110:110332. [PMID: 33891977 DOI: 10.1016/j.pnpbp.2021.110332] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2021] [Revised: 03/29/2021] [Accepted: 04/18/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Prolactin (Prl) is a pleiotropic hormone initially described for its regulation of lactation in mammals but later associated with metabolic and immune homeostasis, stress, inflammatory response and human behavior. Its regulation through dopamine receptors highlights its importance in psychiatry mostly because hyperprolactinemia is a common secondary side effect of dopamine antagonists. Despite its undeciphered patho-physiological mechanisms, hyperprolactinemia in naïve psychosis patients has been widely described. Its consequences might underlie the increased morbidity and early mortality found in naïve subjects as described in the general population where prolactin values have been correlated with inflammatory, immune and metabolic parameters. METHODS We aimed to evaluate the correlation between prolactin values and other biochemical parameters (C-reactive Protein-CrP, blood cell count, lipid and hepatic profile, fasting glucose) in a cohort of first episode psychosis naïve subjects (N = 491) stratified by sex. Regression analyses with confounders were performed to evaluate the association. FINDINGS Prl displayed significant correlations with C-Reactive Protein (CrP), Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL), Aspartate Transaminase (AST) for females and High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) and eosinophil count for males. However, and despite previous specific sex correlations, significant associations were described for CrP, HDL, LDL, AST and ALT without sex interaction and despite confounders such as age, Body Mass Index or smoking status. CONCLUSIONS Our results show a specific relation of Prl with immune and metabolic parameters describing a heterogeneous pattern. Our results suggest that prolactin might underlie the excess of morbidity and early mortality in naïve patients through a specific pathway.

Safety of switching to brexpiprazole in Japanese patients with schizophrenia: A post-hoc analysis of a long-term open-label study. Hum Psychopharmacol 2021; 36:e2777. [PMID: 33496984 PMCID: PMC8365679 DOI: 10.1002/hup.2777] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2020] [Revised: 12/23/2020] [Accepted: 01/05/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the long-term safety of switching to brexpiprazole from aripiprazole or non-aripiprazole dopamine antagonists. METHODS Post-hoc analysis of 56-week study of Japanese outpatients with schizophrenia switched to brexpiprazole 2 mg/day over 4-week switching period with further titration (1-4 mg/day) allowed during the 52-week, open-label period. Major assessment items: total/low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-/high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol, triglycerides, blood glucose, body weight and prolactin. Secondary evaluations were related to efficacy, treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs), extrapyramidal symptoms, and corrected QT interval (QTc). RESULTS 84/186 (45.2%) patients (aripiprazole, 32.9%; non-aripiprazole, 54.8%) discontinued treatment over 56 weeks mainly because of consent withdrawal/adverse events. From baseline to Week 56, both groups showed minimal mean changes in total/LDL-/HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, and glucose levels and a slight increase in mean (SD) body weight (aripiprazole, 1.1 [4.4] kg; non-aripiprazole, 0.4 [4.6] kg). Mean prolactin levels increased slightly in the aripiprazole group, but decreased in the non-aripiprazole group. Symptom severity scores decreased similarly in both groups. TEAEs occurred in 161/186 (86.6%) patients (aripiprazole, 84.1% [serious, 9.8%]; non-aripiprazole, 88.5% [serious, 14.4%]). Few changes occurred in extrapyramidal symptom scales or QTc interval. CONCLUSIONS Switching to brexpiprazole is associated with a low long-term risk for metabolic abnormalities (including weight gain), hyperprolactinemia, extrapyramidal symptoms and QTc changes and minimal changes in psychiatric symptoms.

Abstract
Objective Patients with schizophrenia are at increased risk of osteoporosis. This study first determined the osteoporosis rate in patients with schizophrenia and then then explored the association between serum gonadal hormone levels and osteoporosis among these patients. Methods A total of 250 patients with schizophrenia and 288 healthy controls were recruited. Osteoporosis was defined by decreased bone mineral density (BMD) of the calcaneus. Serum fasting levels of gonadal hormones (prolactin, estradiol, testosterone, progesterone, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone) were determined. The relationship between osteoporosis and hormone levels was statistically analyzed by binary logistic regression analysis. Results Our results showed that patients with schizophrenia had a markedly higher rate of osteoporosis (24.4% vs. 10.1%) than healthy controls (P < 0.001). Patients with osteoporosis were older, had a longer disease course, and had a lower body mass index (BMI) than patients without osteoporosis (all P < 0.05). Regarding gonadal hormones, we found significantly higher prolactin, but lower estradiol, levels in patients with osteoporosis than in those without osteoporosis (both P < 0.05). The regression analysis revealed that PRL (OR = 1.1, 95% CI [1.08–1.15], P < 0.001) and E2 level (OR = 0.9, 95%CI [0.96–0.99], P = 0.011) were significantly associated with osteoporosis in patients with schizophrenia. Conclusion Our results indicate that patients with schizophrenia who are being treated with risperidone have a high rate of osteoporosis. Increased prolactin and reduced estradiol levels are significantly associated with osteoporosis.

Safety and Efficacy of High-Dose Vitamin B6 as an Adjunctive Treatment for Antipsychotic-Induced Hyperprolactinemia in Male Patients With Treatment-Resistant Schizophrenia. Front Psychiatry 2021; 12:681418. [PMID: 34512411 PMCID: PMC8426548 DOI: 10.3389/fpsyt.2021.681418] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2021] [Accepted: 08/05/2021] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of high-dose vitamin B6 (vB6) as an adjunct treatment for antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia (AIHP) in male patients with treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS). In this randomized double-blinded controlled study, patients were randomized (1:1) into a control group given aripiprazole (ARI; 10 mg/day; n = 100) or an intervention group given vB6 (300 mg/12 h for 16 weeks; n = 100). Prolactin levels, psychotic symptoms [Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS)], cognitive function [MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB)], liver function, kidney function, growth hormone level, micronutrient levels, blood lipids, and adverse secondary effects (ASEs)[Treatment Emergent Symptom Scale (TESS) and Barnes-Akathisia scale] were monitored. After a 16-week treatment period, the vB6 group showed a 68.1% reduction in serum prolactin levels (from 95.52 ± 6.30 μg/L to 30.43 ± 18.65 μg/L) while the ARI group showed only a 37.4% reduction (from 89.07 ± 3.59 μg/L to 55.78 ± 7.39 μg/L). During weeks 1-4, both treatments reduced prolactin similarly. Subsequently, the ARI effect plateaued, while the vB6 effect remained robust. The vB6 group showed better alleviation of psychotic symptoms and cognitive impairment. No serious ASEs were observed; ASEs were more frequent in the ARI group. AIHP reduction efficacy of vB6 was associated with baseline prolactin and triglyceride levels, total vB6 dosage, and education level. In conclusion, compared with the ARI group, TRS patients given vB6 showed better attenuation of AIHP, lower ASE scores, and greater improvements in clinical symptoms and cognitive impairments. These results support further consideration of vB6 as a putative treatment for AIHP. Trial Registration: ChiCTR1800014755.

Abstract
Background: Abnormalities of serum prolactin adversely impact the reproductive functions among infertile men. Hence, this study was aimed to determine the influence of prolactin abnormalities on gonadal functions of male cohorts of infertile unions in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Methods: This was a retrospective survey of 1845 males of infertile unions who presented in a health-care facility for reproductive endocrine evaluation following abnormal semen parameters between 2007 and 2018. The demographic, clinical, and laboratory variables were evaluated among study cohorts. Results: Hyperprolactinemia was observed in 16.7% of the study cohorts with 9.6%, 5.0%, and 2.1% of mild, moderate, and severe grades, respectively. The hyperprolactinemic cohorts had depressed levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormones (LH), and total testosterone (TT) which worsened further with worsening grades of hyperprolactinemia. Inverse relationship of prolactin levels existed with FSH (crude β: −0.651; P < 0.001; adjusted β: −0.666; P < 0.001), LH (crude β: −0.481; P < 0.001; adjusted β: −0.536; P < 0.001), and TT (crude β: −0.525; P < 0.001; adjusted β: −0.546; P < 0.001) in crude analysis and amplified on age and body mass index (BMI) adjustment. The greatest risk of depressive impact of hyperprolactinemia was on serum TT (crude hazard ratio [HR]: 35.185; P < 0.001; age and BMI-adjusted HR: 35.086; P < 0.001). Erectile dysfunction (ED) was the single most isolated sexual abnormality (n = 111; 35.6%) recorded among the general hyperprolactinemics; however, the ED was specifically more prevalent (n = 15; 38.5%) among the severely hyperprolactinemics. Conclusion: The present study revealed a high frequency of hyperprolactinemia among studied participants. Since the hyperprolactinemia was associated with a large number of cases with other endocrine and sexual dysfunctions, diagnostic and treatment protocols should include prolactin measurement and management during infertility evaluation in males.

Pharmacological treatment strategies for lowering prolactin in people with a psychotic disorder and hyperprolactinaemia: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Schizophr Res 2020; 222:88-96.

Abstract
Different therapeutic strategies are used for lowering prolactin concentrations in patients with psychotic disorders with antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinaemia. We aimed to examine the evidence from open-label studies and randomized clinical trials (RCTs) that studied four prolactin-lowering therapeutic strategies in people with psychotic disorders and hyperprolactinaemia: 1) switching to prolactin-sparing antipsychotics; 2) adding aripiprazole; 3) adding dopamine agonists; and 4) adding metformin. RCTs were included in a meta-analysis. Effect sizes (Hedges' g) of prolactin reductions with each strategy were calculated. Withdrawal rates were also considered. We identified 26 studies. Nine studies explored switching antipsychotic treatment to aripiprazole (n = 4), olanzapine (n = 1), quetiapine (n = 2), paliperidone palmitate (n = 1) or blonanserin (n = 1). Twelve studies tested the addition of aripiprazole. Six studies explored the addition of cabergoline (n = 3), bromocriptine (n = 2) or terguride (n = 1). We also found one meta-analysis testing the addition of metformin to antipsychotic treatment but no other individual studies. A meta-analysis could only be performed for the addition of aripiprazole, the strategy with the best level of evidence. Five RCTs testing the addition of aripiprazole yielded a significant reduction in prolactin concentration compared to placebo (N = 3) or maintaining antipsychotic treatment (N = 2): Hedges' g was -1.35 (CI 95%: -1.93 to -0.76, p < 0.001). The three placebo-controlled RCTs for aripiprazole addition showed similar withdrawal rates for aripiprazole (10.1%) and placebo (11.5%), without significant differences in the meta-analysis. Our study suggests that, in terms of levels of evidence, adding aripiprazole is the first option to be considered for lowering prolactin concentrations in patients with schizophrenia and hyperprolactinaemia.

Abstract
PURPOSE We investigated the differences in metabolism between obesity with or without increased prolactin (PRL) and the change in PRL after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). METHODS Patients were divided into two groups: obesity with normal PRL (NP, n = 123) and high PRL (HP, n = 108). Glucose-lipid metabolism and inflammation were measured. A total of 115 patients with obesity (NP, n = 64; HP, n = 51) underwent LSG were recruited, and PRL was measured at 12 months after LSG. RESULTS (1) Blood glucose (BG), total cholesterol (TCH), LDL, triglyceride, and TNF-α were lower in the HP than in the NP group in the cross-sectional study (all P < 0.05). (2) PRL was negatively associated with neck circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, systolic blood pressure, heart rate, basal metabolism rate (BMR), ALP, TCH, and LDL in all subjects. PRL levels were positively associated with weight, HC, and BMR in males but were negatively associated with ALT, AST, ALP, BG 30 min, BG 60 min, FFA, and TCH in females (all P < 0.05). (3) Regression analysis showed that PRL negatively correlated with ALP and LDL-C in the whole baseline (β = - 0.051, P = 0.002; β = - 1.372, P = 0.033). PRL was a negative factor for ALP in females and a positive factor for BMR2 in males (β = - 0.099, P = 0.041; β = 0.005, P = 0.006). (4) PRL decreased in the HP group and increased in the NP group at 12 months post-operation (all P < 0.05). Increased PRL was associated with a change in TCH in the NP group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Increased PRL resulted in improved glucose-lipid metabolism and chronic low-grade inflammation. LSG led to increased PRL in NP and decreased PRL in HP. Improved lipid was associated with increased PRL in NP after surgery. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ChiCTR-OCS-12002381.

Abstract
This paper reviews the prevalence, implications, prevention and management of antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia in aging populations. Antipsychotics are indicated mainly for the treatment of psychotic illness but are also used in other conditions. Complications induced by antipsychotics increase with age, due to age-related changes in drug metabolism and excretion. Almost all antipsychotics lead to hyperprolactinemia by blocking dopamine D2 receptors in the anterior pituitary gland, which counteracts dopamine's inhibitory action on prolactin secretion. The main findings of this narrative review are that, though many of the known side effects of high prolactin levels lose their salience with age, the risk of exacerbating osteoporosis remains critical. Methods of preventing antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia in older individuals include using antipsychotic medication (AP) as sparingly as possible and monitoring AP serum levels, regularly measuring prolactin levels, closely monitoring bone density, treating substance abuse, and teaching patients stress management techniques. When hyperprolactinemia symptoms cannot be otherwise managed, adjunctive drugs are available. Potential helpful adjuncts are: dopamine agonists, antipsychotics with partial agonist properties (e.g. aripiprazole), selective estrogen receptor modulators, and metformin. Because a gold standard for prevention/treatment has not been established, clinical decisions need to be made based on safety and individual circumstance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Some patients with paediatric craniopharyngiomas (PCs) showed normal growth despite growth hormone deficiency, which is known as growth without GH (GWGH); however, its mechanism remains unclear. We aimed to develop a novel clinical score to predict the probability of GWGH in PCs. METHODS A total of 708 PC patients were prospectively enrolled from six hospitals, among which 431 patients were finally included. Data from four of the six hospitals (n = 325) were used to develop the innovative clinical score (ICS), which was further validated using the data from the other two hospitals (n = 106). To establish and validate the ICS, sequential logistic regression was used to analyse the clinical characteristics including tumour growth pattern and tumour size and so on. Furthermore, C-statistic was employed to calibrate the discriminatory ability of the established clinical score, while a calibration plot was adopted for further assessment. RESULTS The overall incidence of GWGH was 16.9% (73/431). The ICS ranged from 2 to 23, with an optimism-corrected C-statistic of 0.820, Furthermore, the optimism-corrected C-statistic of external validation was 0.835, indicating good discriminatory power and robustness of the clinical score. Additionally, no apparent overestimation or underestimation was observed in the calibration plots, which showed excellent calibration power of the clinical score. CONCLUSIONS Based on tumour growth patterns and PC patients' clinical characteristics, individualized surgical strategies were promising to achieve long-term effective management of PC patients. The ICS is valuable for the evaluation of probability of developing postoperative GWGH. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT00949156.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mounting clinical studies have reported patients with schizophrenia are at high risk of developing sexual dysfunction (SD), but a directly calculated prevalence of SD is currently lacking. AIM To further quantify the association between schizophrenia and SD. METHODS MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase (OVID), the Cochrane Library databases, and the PsycINFO were systematically searched for eligible studies reporting the sexual functioning in patients with schizophrenia. This meta-analysis has been registered on PROSPERO (ID: CRD42019121720, http://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO). OUTCOMES The relationship between schizophrenia and SD was detected by calculating the relative risk (RR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI). The GRADE-profiler was employed to rank the quality of the evidence. RESULTS 10 observational studies (3 case-control studies and 7 cross-sectional studies) were finally included, enrolling a total of 3,570 participants (mean age 28.6-46.2 years), of whom 1,161 had schizophrenia and the remainders were the healthy control subjects. Synthetic results indicated that schizophrenia was significantly associated with an increased risk of SD regardless of gender (3 studies reporting both sexes: RR = 2.24, 95%CI: 1.66-3.03, P < .001, heterogeneity: I2 = 0.0%, P = .431; 7 studies reporting men: RR = 2.63, 95%CI: 1.68-4.13, P < .001, heterogeneity: I2 = 82.7%, P < .001; 5 studies reporting women: RR = 2.07, 95%CI: 1.46-2.94, P < .001; heterogeneity: I2 = 79.7%, P = .001). In accordance with the GRADE-profiler, the quality of the evidence of primary outcomes was LOW, MODERATE, and LOW in studies including both sexes, men, and women, respectively. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS Our findings confirmed the potential link between schizophrenia and SD. Clinicians should routinely assess the sexual functioning for those patients with schizophrenia and further recommend the preferred antipsychotics for them. STRENGTHS & LIMITATIONS This is the first meta-analysis investigating the association between schizophrenia and the risks of SD in both sexes. Nonetheless, substantial heterogeneities were identified across the selected studies. CONCLUSION Robust data from this meta-analysis showed increased rates of SD in patients with schizophrenia compared with the general populations. Therefore, more specific psychological and pharmaceutical interventions are needed to help patients with schizophrenia gain a better sexual life. Zhao S, Wang X, Qiang X, et al.

Abstract
AbstractIn our opinion the best guide to prescribing antipsychotics is the clinician’s experience with his patients and in particular the patient being treated. If treatment works, stick with it. We feel it is also important for the clinician to consider the evidence from well-controlled double-blind random-assignment studies because in “evidence-based medicine,” biases both known and unknown are controlled by blinding and randomization. The purpose of this paper is to summarize and discuss the evidence on efficacy. Choice of antipsychotic, in our opinion, is probably the most important decision that the clinician makes for the psychotic patient. This involves the choice of drug, its dose, balancing efficacy, side-effects and cost.

Abstract
AbstractPurposeSexual dysfunction in patients with schizophrenia can reduce quality of life and treatment compliance. This report will compare the effects of selected atypical and typical antipsychotics on sexual function in a large, international population of outpatients with schizophrenia who were treated over 1 year.Subjects and methodsOutpatients with schizophrenia, who initiated or changed antipsychotic treatment, and entered this 3-year, prospective, observational study were classified according to the monotherapy prescribed at baseline: olanzapine (N = 2638), risperidone (N = 860), quetiapine (N = 142) or haloperidol (N = 188).ResultsBased on patient perception, the odds of experiencing sexual dysfunction during 1 year of therapy was significantly lower for patients treated with olanzapine and quetiapine when compared to patients who received risperidone or haloperidol (all P ≤ 0.001). Females on olanzapine (14%) or quetiapine (8%) experienced a lower rate of menstrual irregularities, compared to females on risperidone (23%) or haloperidol (29%). Significant discordance was evident between patient reports and psychiatrist perception of sexual dysfunction, with psychiatrists underestimating sexual dysfunction (P ≤ 0.001).ConclusionsThese findings indicate clinically relevant differences exist in the sexual side effect profiles of these selected antipsychotics. These factors should be considered when selecting the most appropriate treatment for outpatients with schizophrenia.

Abstract
Background Antipsychotic medication, stress, gender, and age are factors that influence prolactin levels in patients with psychosis. The aim of the study was to investigate the level of prolactin response to antipsychotic treatment in acute patients, taking into account the total duration of psychosis. Methods and findings The study was conducted on 170 acute patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders and bipolar disorder. Subjects were divided into three subgroups according to the duration of the psychosis (less than 5 years, between 5 and 10 years and more than 10 years of disorder duration). The initial prolactin response under antipsychotic treatment was measured, while the severity of the psychiatric symptoms was assessed with the BPRS (Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale). Hyperprolactinemia was found in 120 (70.6%) patients, amongst which 80 (66.7%) were females and 40 (33.3%) were males. The average increase in prolactinemia was 2.46 times the maximum value in women, and 1.59 times in men. Gender (β = 0.27, p<0.0001), type of antipsychotic medication according to potency of inducing hyperprolactinemia (β = -0.23, p<0.003), and the duration of psychosis over 10 years (β = -0.15, p = 0.04) significantly predicted prolactin levels, when age, diagnosis, antipsychotic category (conventional/atypical/combinations of antipsychotics), and BPRS total scores were controlled for. Conclusions and relevance Prolactin levels in patients treated with antipsychotic medication appeared to depend on patients’ gender, on the type of antipsychotic medication according to potency of inducing hyperprolactinemia, and on the duration of the psychosis. An increase in prolactin levels was associated with female gender, while the use of prolactin sparing antipsychotics and a duration of psychosis over 10 years were associated with lower prolactin levels.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Antipsychotics may increase serum prolactin, which has particularly been observed with risperidone. Further, hyperprolactinemia has been linked to osteoporosis-related fractures. Therefore, we investigated fracture risk in a nationwide cohort exposed to antipsychotics. METHODS Swedish registers were used to identify adults with two consecutive dispensations of risperidone (n = 38 211), other atypical antipsychotics not including paliperidone (n = 60 691), or typical antipsychotics (n = 17 445) within three months between 2006 and 2013. An osteoporosis-related fracture was defined as a non-open hip/femur fracture in primary analyses. Cox regression was used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS Risperidone users were on average older (mean age of 68, 44, and 63 years for risperidone, other atypical antipsychotics, and typical antipsychotics respectively). Compared with other atypical antipsychotics, there was no association between risperidone and osteoporosis-related fractures in the overall (HR = 1.04, CI: 0.91-1.19) or age-stratified analyses. A significantly increased risk of typical antipsychotics (HR = 1.24, CI: 1.07-1.45) compared with other atypical antipsychotics remained for ages >45 years. CONCLUSION Risperidone does not appear to be associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis-related fracture compared with other atypical antipsychotic agents as a group. For typical antipsychotics, a moderately elevated risk of hip fractures was noted compared with other atypical antipsychotics, possibly because of residual confounding.

Abstract
Haloperidol is a typical antipsychotic drug (APD) associated with an increased risk of extrapyramidal side effects (EPSs) and hyperprolactinemia relative to atypical APDs such as clozapine. Both drugs are dopamine D2 receptor (D2R) antagonists, with contrasting kinetic profiles. Haloperidol displays fast association/slow dissociation at the D2R, whereas clozapine exhibits relatively slow association/fast dissociation. Recently, we have provided evidence that slow dissociation from the D2R predicts hyperprolactinemia, whereas fast association predicts EPS. Unfortunately, clozapine can cause severe side effects independent of its D2R action. Our results suggest an optimal kinetic profile for D2R antagonist APDs that avoids EPS. To begin exploring this hypothesis, we conducted a structure-kinetic relationship study of haloperidol and revealed that subtle structural modifications dramatically change binding kinetic rate constants, affording compounds with a clozapine-like kinetic profile. Thus, optimization of these kinetic parameters may allow development of novel APDs based on the haloperidol scaffold with improved side-effect profiles.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Antipsychotic agents can increase circulating serum prolactin levels, potentially leading to osteoporosis and increased risk of bone fracture. The risk appears to be lower for atypical antipsychotics. We investigated whether risperidone was associated with an increased fracture risk by estimating the incidence of hip/femur and non-hip/femur fractures in users of risperidone, other atypical, and typical antipsychotics. METHODS This retrospective cohort study with a nested case-control study used claims data from the Taiwan National Healthcare Insurance database. All new users of antipsychotics between 2000-2012 were included. Incident fractures were identified using ICD-9 codes from inpatient records. Cox proportional hazards models compared fracture incidence among exposure groups. Conditional logistic regression models compared antipsychotic exposure among fracture cases versus matched controls. RESULTS 340,948 patients were included in the analysis. There were 2832 hip/femur fractures and 2693 non-hip/femur fractures: Hip/femur fracture incidence 636.8/100,000 person-years (Risperidone), 885.7/100,000 person-years (Other Atypical), 519.4/100,000 person-years (Typical). The adjusted hazard ratio of hip/femur fracture was 0.92 (95%CI 0.84-1.01) comparing Other Atypical with Risperidone, and 1.00 (95%CI 0.89-1.11) comparing Typical with Risperidone. The adjusted hazard ratio of non-hip/femur fracture was 1.08 (95%CI 0.98-1.20) for Other Atypical versus Risperidone, and 1.10 (95%CI 0.99-1.22) for Typical versus Risperidone. The adjusted odds ratio for hip/femur fractures was 0.92 (95% CI 0.83-1.01) in cases and controls exposed to other atypical antipsychotics compared with risperidone for 1 year prior to fracture date, 0.97 (95% CI 0.87-1.07) during 1-3 years, and 0.92 (95% CI 0.81-1.06) during 3-5 years prior to fracture date. The adjusted odds ratio for non-hip/femur fractures were 1.11 (95% CI 0.99-1.24), 1.02 (95% CI 0.0.91-1.14), and 0.95 (95% CI 0.82-1.09), respectively. CONCLUSION There was no increased risk of bone fracture in long-term users of risperidone compared to users of other atypical antipsychotics.

Abstract
Mental disorders affect a high percentage of the general population and are associated with a significant burden. One major component of treatment for mental illnesses is pharmacotherapy. Various psychotropic medications are used in the treatment of psychiatric disorders and these are often associated with a plethora of side effects. The many side effects of psychotropic drugs can severely impair patients' quality of life and decrease their adherence to treatment. Among the relatively neglected and less-studied potential side effects of psychotropic drugs are impairment of sperm parameters and fertility problems among male patients. This article summarizes the data with regard to the effects of 6 widely used psychotropic drugs-lithium, valproate, haloperidol, olanzapine, imipramine, and fluoxetine-on sexual function and sperm parameters in male subjects. In general, the reviewed data suggest that these medications can be associated with sexual function problems and negative effects on sperm parameters among male subjects. It is important to note that most of the data are based on preclinical studies and nonrandomized clinical trials with relatively small sample sizes, so that it is not possible to draw unequivocal conclusions with regard to the clinical relevance of the findings. Prospective, randomized clinical trials are necessary to elucidate the effects of psychotropic drugs on men's sperm parameters and fertility indices per se.

Abstract
Patients with schizophrenia have a high risk for suicide, and therefore, identification of risk factors for suicidal ideation (SI) may be helpful to reduce suicide rate. This study aimed to detect which clinical symptoms and biochemical parameters were most strongly associated with SI. A total of 174 patients and 35 healthy controls were enrolled in our study. Patients were evaluated by the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), Scale of Assessment Negative Symptoms (SANS) and the Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia (CDSS) for psychiatric and depressive symptoms, and the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) for cognitive function. We examined the levels of prolactin (PRL) and metabolic parameters in all participants. Our results showed a significantly increased level of PRL in patients compared to the controls before (t = 10.414, P < 0.001) and after (F = 31.308, P < 0.001) covariates were controlled for. In addition, we found that patients with SI had significantly higher PRL levels than those without SI (t = 2.586, P = 0.011). And there were positive correlations between serum PRL levels (r = 0.194, P = 0.010), serum fasting triglyceride levels (TG) (r = 0.188, P = 0.013), and RBANS visuospatial skill subscores (r = 0.162, P = 0.036) and SI severity. Finally, the stepwise multiple linear regression analysis revealed that SI severity was significantly associated with PRL levels, fasting TG levels and RBANS visuospatial skill subscores. This study provides support that greater cognitive ability, specifically visuospatial skill, PRL and TG, may confer an elevated risk for more severe SI in schizophrenia patients.

Abstract
Background The incidence of prostate cancer (PC) in Asian countries is increasing for reasons that are not clear. Data describing how PC is diagnosed and treated are fragmented across Asia, with marked intercountry and intracountry differences in outcome and knowledge gaps in clinical diagnostic and treatment practices. To address these knowledge gaps, we have established a PC disease registry with the aim of providing a comprehensive picture of PC diagnosis, prognosis, treatment and outcome, population characteristics, and comorbidities in real-world clinical practice in Asia. Methods This is a multinational, multicenter, longitudinal, and observational registry of PC patients presenting to participating tertiary-care hospitals in eight Asian countries (www.clinicaltrials.gov NCT02546908. Registry Identifier: NOPRODPCR4001). Approximately 3500-4000 eligible patients with existing or newly diagnosed high-risk localized PC (cohort 1), nonmetastatic biochemically recurrent PC (cohort 2), or metastatic PC (cohort 3) will be consecutively enrolled and followed-up for 5 years. An enrollment cap of 600 patients each will be applied to cohorts 1 and 2. Disease status is collected at enrollment, and outcome variables captured at 3-monthly intervals include diagnostic/staging, treatments including reason for change, laboratory results, comorbidities, and concomitant medications. Treatments and survival outcomes will be captured real time until study end. Patient-reported quality-of-life will be measured every 6 months, and medical resource utilization summarized at study end. Data analysis will include exploratory analyses of potential associations between multiple risk factors and socioeconomic variables with disease progression and evaluation of various treatments for PC including novel therapies on clinical outcome and health-related quality-of-life outcomes. Results 3636 men with PC were enrolled until July 2018; 416 in cohort 1, 399 in cohort 2 and 2821 in cohort 3. Discussion A total of 3636 patients were enrolled until July 2018. The prospective disease registry will provide comprehensive and wide-ranging real-world information on how PC is diagnosed and treated in Asia. Such information can be used to inform policy development for best practice and direct clinical study design evaluating new treatments.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Hyperprolactinemia is a common adverse event associated with psychotropic medications (mainly antipsychotics) used in the management of schizophrenia and bipolar disorders. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of hyperprolactinemia in psychiatric patients and to evaluate its association with various psychiatric diagnoses and the use of various psychotropic medications. METHODS A cross-sectional observational study was conducted between July 2012 and June 2014. Patients were recruited from a number of hospitals located in the five regions of Saudi Arabia. Hyperprolactinemia was defined as blood prolactin levels >25 ng/mL in females and >20 ng/mL in males, regardless of the presence of symptoms. RESULTS A total of 997 patients (553 males and 444 females) were included in the current analysis. The average blood prolactin level was 32.6 ± 44.1 ng/mL, with higher levels among females than males (42.9 ± 61.3 versus 24.4 ± 18.6, p < .001). The prevalence of hyperprolactinemia was 44.3%, with no significant gender difference (41.9% in females versus 46.3% in males, p = .164) but with huge variability according to individual antipsychotic and other psychotropic medications. In the multivariate analysis adjusted for demographic and clinical characteristics, hyperprolactinemia was independently and positively associated with using antipsychotic medications (OR = 2.08, 1.26-3.42, p = .004). Additionally, previous hospitalisation, diabetes and hypothyroidism were positively associated, whereas having primary depressive disorders was negatively associated. CONCLUSIONS We report a high prevalence of hyperprolactinemia among a large sample of psychiatric patients in Saudi Arabia, which was linked to the use of antipsychotic medications. Routine measurement of blood prolactin levels for all patients maintained on antipsychotic agents is recommended, regardless of symptoms.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the short term anti-schizophrenic efficacy and side effect profile of aripiprazole with risperidone. Methodology: The study was a non-randomized, naturalistic, rater blinded, prospective, 8-12 weeks, comparative trial between the risperidone and aripiprazole in patients with schizophrenia. Patients already getting treatment with aripiprazole (10 to 30 mg/day) or risperidone (3 to 8mg/day) were recruited. Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) Plus, Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS), Simpson Angus Scale (SAS), Udvalg for Klinske Undersogelser (UKU) Scale, Clinical Global Impression-severity scales were administered by principal investigator on the day of recruitment. Anthropometric measurements (height, weight, BMI, waist, hip, waist circumference) blood pressure and pulse rate were measured on day 1 and during follow up. All tests except MINI plus were administered again after 8-12weeks. Results: Both aripiprazole and risperidone treated patients have shown significant improvement on positive and negative symptoms but there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups. Mean improvement in patient rated improvement scale score showed a trend towards significance favoring aripiprazole. Common adverse events (seen in ≥ 5% of patients) as assessed by the UKU Scale occurred more frequently in the risperidone group than in the aripiprazole group. Drug induced extra pyramidal symptoms were more common in risperidone treated patients. Aripiprazole showed less treatment emerged weight gain. Conclusion: Aripiprazole is equally efficacious and better tolerated than risperidone in patients with schizophrenia over a short-term period of eight weeks. Aripiprazole showed better patient satisfaction and side effect profile.

Abstract
More than 40 years of research and clinical practice have proven the effectiveness of dopamine receptor antagonists in the pharmacological treatment of tics. A blockade of the striatal dopamine-D2 receptors is mainly responsible for their tic-reducing effect. A broad spectrum of dopamine-modulating agents, such as typical and atypical antipsychotics, but also dopamine receptor agonists are used with an immanent discord between experts about which of them should be considered as first choice. The present Review outlines the state of the art on pharmacological treatment of tics with dopamine-modulating agents by giving an systematic overview of studies on their effectiveness and a critical discussion of their specific adverse effects. It is considered as an update of a previous review of our research group published in 2013. The Review closes with a description of the current resulting treatment recommendations including the results of a first published revised survey on European expert's prescription preferences. Based on the enormously growing evidence on its effectiveness and safety, aripiprazole currently seems to be the most promising agent in the pharmacological treatment of tics. Furthermore, benzamides (especially tiapride), which are commonly used in Europe, have proven their excellent effectiveness-tolerability profile over decades in clinical practice and are therefore also highly recommended for the treatment of tics. Nevertheless, pharmacological treatment of tics remains an indiviual choice depending on each patient's own specific needs.

Abstract
Erectile dysfunction (ED) affects about 50% of men in the USA and is primarily attributed to physiological (organic) and psychological causes. However, a substantial portion of men suffer from ED due to iatrogenic causes. Common medications such as antihypertensives, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and antacids may cause ED. Physicians should be aware of the various prescription medications that may cause ED to properly screen and counsel patients on an issue that many may feel too uncomfortable to discuss. In this review, we discuss the physiology, data and alternative therapies for the ED caused by medications.

Abstract
RATIONALE Hyperprolactinemia is a highly prevalent adverse effect of many antipsychotic agents, with potentially serious health consequences. Several guidelines have been developed for the management of this condition; yet, their concordance has not been evaluated. OBJECTIVES The objectives of this paper were (1) to review current clinical guidelines; (2) to review key systematic evidence for management; and (3) based on our findings, to develop an integrated management recommendation specific to male and female patients who are otherwise clinically stabilised on antipsychotics. METHODS We performed searches of Medline and EMBASE, supplemented with guideline-specific database and general web searches, to identify clinical guidelines containing specific recommendations for antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia, produced/updated 01/01/2010-15/09/2016. A separate systematic search was performed to identify emerging management approaches described in reviews and meta-analyses published ≥ 2010. RESULTS There is some consensus among guidelines relating to baseline PRL screening (8/12 guidelines), screening for differential diagnosis (7/12) and discontinuing/switching PRL-raising agent (7/12). Guidelines otherwise diverge substantially regarding most aspects of screening, monitoring and management (e.g. treatment with dopamine agonists). There is an omission of clear sex-specific recommendations. Systematic literature on management approaches is promising; more research is needed. An integrated management recommendation is presented to guide sex-specific clinical response to antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia. Key aspects include asymptomatic hyperprolactinemia monitoring and fertility considerations with PRL normalisation. CONCLUSION Further empirical work is key to shaping robust guidelines for antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia. The integrated management recommendation can assist clinician and patient decision-making, with the goal of balancing effective psychiatric treatment while minimising PRL-related adverse health effects in male and female patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adults with intellectual or developmental disability (ID/DD) have multiple risks for low bone mineral density (BMD) without formal guidelines to guide testing. We sought to identify risk factors and patterns of BMD testing among institutionalized adults with ID/DD. METHODS We evaluated risk factors for low BMD (Z-/T-score < -1) and patterns of BMD testing among adults with ID/DD receiving care at a state-run residential facility. Kruskal-Wallis, Fisher's exact and Pearson's chi-squared tests were used as appropriate. RESULTS Of the 140 eligible patients, only 44% ever had BMD testing of which 89% had low BMD. Median age at diagnosis was 42 years old. Individuals with low BMD were more likely to be older, non-weight bearing, Caucasian and have severe cognitive delay. CONCLUSIONS Adults with ID/DD in this facility had a high prevalence of low BMD. Further studies are needed to better characterize risk factors and inform screening within this high-risk population.

Abstract
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by persistent deficits in social communication and interactions as well as restricted, repetitive behaviors and interests. Pharmacologic interventions are often needed to manage irritability, aggressive behaviors and hyperactivity. Pharmacogenomic studies have investigated genetic associations with treatment response and side effects in an attempt to better understand drug mechanisms in hopes of optimizing the balance of symptom improvement versus side effects. The majority of pharmacogenomic studies to date have focused on antipsychotics, antidepressants and stimulants that are the most commonly utilized medication classes for ASD. This review is a comprehensive examination of the existing pharmacogenomic studies in ASD highlighting the current state of knowledge regarding genetic variation influencing pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, and associated clinical outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Antipsychotics, even atypical ones, can induce hyperprolactinemia. Aripiprazole (APZ), a dopamine D2 partial agonist, has a unique pharmacological profile and few side effects. We investigated the incidence of hyperprolactinemia in patients with schizophrenia treated with APZ and other antipsychotics. METHODS Serum prolactin levels were measured by ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). A questionnaire survey was used to evaluate subjective sexual dysfunction. RESULTS Based on the results of the questionnaire, approximately half (48.1%) of the patients complained of sexual dysfunction. The serum prolactin levels were significantly higher in patients with sexual dysfunction than in those without. In patients treated with antipsychotic monotherapy, the serum prolactin levels were significantly lower in patients treated with APZ than with other antipsychotics. In patients receiving 2 or more antipsychotics, the serum prolactin levels were significantly lower in patients treated with APZ-containing regimens than in patients treated with APZ-free regimens. CONCLUSIONS Treatment with APZ did not influence the serum prolactin level, and adjunctive treatment with APZ may ameliorate the hyperprolactinemia that occurs during monotherapy with other antipsychotics.
