RESUMEN
Aim: To establish significant risk factors for the development of adverse drug effects (ADEs) in children and adolescents with an acute psychotic episode taking antipsychotics. Materials and Methods: The research team randomly selected 15 patient records each month for 3 years (2016-2018). Overall, 450 patient records were included (223 boys and 227 girls, mean age was 14.52 ± 2.21 years). Adverse effects were identified using the standard algorithm of the Global Trigger Tool method. A "trigger" is an indication that an adverse reaction is likely to occur, e.g., an antihistamine prescription on a prescribing list. When a trigger was detected, the case history was studied in further detail to confirm the occurrence of ADEs. We divided patients into two groups: the "children" group (under 12 years old) and the "adolescents" group (13 years and older). Data were analyzed using the statistical package IBM SPSS Statistics 23.0. Results: Of the 450 patient records, 402 (89.3%) had at least one trigger detected. In total, 126 case histories contained evidence of ADE (28%). The total number of ADEs per 1000 patient days was 5.39 and the number of ADEs per 100 admissions was 32.0. Among adolescents, two or more triggers per patient were significantly more frequently identified (61.3% vs. 44.6%; p = 0.001). ADEs were rare in "Children" compared with "Adolescents" (13.8% vs. 30.4%; p = 0.006). The logistic regression analysis confirmed high predictive role of "Adolescence" (odds ratio [OR] = 2.58; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.22-5.4; p = 0.013), "Polypharmacy" (OR = 1.96; 95% CI 1.23-3.1; p = 0.004), and "First-life hospitalization" (OR = 2.17; 95% CI 1.34-3.48; p = 0.001) for ADE fact in patient records. Conclusion: We found that significant risk factors for ADEs to antipsychotics in patients with acute psychotic episode were adolescence (13 years and older), polypharmacy, and first-life hospitalization. The fact that children (i.e., younger than 13 years of age) are less likely to experience ADEs was not associated with high-risk drugs or higher doses in our study.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVES: Timolol maleate is used for the treatment of glaucoma and metabolized by cytochrome CYP2D6 in the liver. The aim of this study was the evaluation of the influence of CYP2D6*4 and CYP2D6*10 gene polymorphisms on the safety of medications containing 0.5% of timolol maleate as glaucoma treatment in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). METHODS: 105 patients with POAG were prescribed glaucoma medications, containing 0.5% timolol maleate. The safety of glaucoma treatment was determined by electrocardiography (ECG) (to assess heart rate (HR) and PQ interval) and blood pressure (BP) measurements. The real-time polymerase chain reaction method was used for the detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP). RESULTS: The risk of adverse drug reactions was higher in patients with the CYP2D6*4 GA genotype compared with GG: mean HR change at 1 month (2.88 ± 4.68 and 6.44 ± 5.57, p<0.001) and 6 months (5.14 ± 8.93 and 7.88 ± 5.65, p<0.001), mean PQ interval change at 1 (0.01 ± 0.031 and 0.02 ± 0.022, p=0.003) and 6 months (0.01 ± 0.032 and 0.02 ± 0.024, p=0.003). The risk of adverse drug reactions was higher in patients with the CYP2D6*10 CT genotype compared with CC: mean HR change at 1 month (2.94 ± 4.65 and 6.34 ± 5.66, p<0.001) and 6 months (5.20 ± 8.90 and 7.78 ± 5.75, p<0.001), mean PQ interval change at 1 (0.01 ± 0.032 and 0.02 ± 0.021, p=0.014) and 6 months (0.01 ± 0.033 and 0.02 ± 0.022, p=0.014). CONCLUSIONS: CYP2D6*4 and CYP2D6*10 gene polymorphisms may affect a higher risk of timolol-induced bradycardia and increased PQ interval of treatment medications containing 0.5% of timolol maleate in patients with POAG.

OBJECTIVES: Radioactive iodine therapy is considered for patients with certain clinicopathological factors that predict a significant risk of recurrence, distant metastases of thyroid cancer or disease-specific mortality. The aim of the study was to investigate the association between polymorphisms of genes, products of which are involved in the processes of DNA damage response and autophagy, and the adverse reactions of radioiodine therapy in thyroid cancer patients. METHODS: The study included 181 patients (37 men, 144 women; median age 56 [41; 66.3] years) with histologically confirmed thyroid cancer and a history of thyroidectomy who received radioiodine therapy. NFKB1, ATM, ATG16L2, ATG10, TGFB1, and TNF polymorphisms were determined by allele-specific realtime-PCR. RESULTS: The frequency of adverse reactions was the following: gastrointestinal symptoms - 57.9â¯%, local symptoms - 65.8â¯%, cerebral symptoms - 46.8â¯%, fatigue - 54.4â¯%; signs of sialoadenitis six months after radioiodine therapy - 25.2â¯%. TT genotype carriers of ATG10 rs1864183 had higher frequency of gastrointestinal symptoms (vs. CC+CT), the CC genotype carriers of ATG10 rs10514231 had significantly more frequent cerebral symptoms (vs. CT+TT), as well as AA genotype carriers of TGFB1 rs1800469 (vs. AG+GG). CC genotype of ATG10 rs10514231 increased the incidence of radioiodine-induced fatigue, whereas GA genotype of the ATM rs11212570 had a protective role against fatigue. TGFB1 rs1800469 was associated with signs of sialoadenitis six months after radioiodine therapy. CONCLUSIONS: Genetic factors may contribute to the occurrence of adverse reactions of radioiodine therapy in thyroid cancer patients.

OBJECTIVES: To identify possible associations of CYP2D6, CYP3A4/5, and ABCB1 gene polymorphisms with the efficacy and safety of antipsychotics in adolescents with acute psychotic episodes. METHODS: We examined the associations of pharmacogenetic factors with the efficacy and safety of antipsychotics in 101 adolescents with acute psychotic episodes. The diagnosis on admission was "Brief psychotic disorder" (F23.0-23.9 by ICD-10). All patients were administered antipsychotics for 14 days. Treatment efficacy and safety were assessed using the PANSS, CGAS, CGI-S(I), UKU SERS, BARS, and SAS scales. Pharmacokinetic genotyping was performed for the CYP2D6*4, *10, ABCB1 1236C>T, 2677G>T, and 3435C>T genes. RESULTS: CYP2D6 intermediate metabolisers had "Micturition disturbances" more often than extensive metabolisers (24.2 vs. 7.4%; p=0.026). "Wild" homozygote ABCB1 3435C>T CC was associated with more prominent akathisia. Haplotype analysis of three ABCB1 polymorphisms revealed that the "wild" alleles "C-G-C" (ABCB1 1236-2677-3435) were associated with higher risk of "Reduced salivation" (OR=2.95; 95% CI=1.35-6.45; p=0.0078). CONCLUSIONS: CYP2D6 intermediate metabolism was associated with the risk of urinary difficulties under treatment with antipsychotics. We found that "wild" homozygotes ABCB1 1236C>T, 2677G>T, and 3435C>T were predictors of adverse drug effects caused by treatment with antipsychotics.

OBJECTIVES: Prediction of the antipsychotic's effectiveness is a relevant topic in the field of personalized medicine. METHODS: The research design of this study is a prospective observation with posthoc analysis of associations of genetic polymorphisms with safety parameters and effectiveness of antipsychotic therapy. We observed 53 adolescents with an acute psychotic episode which were prescribed antipsychotics for 14 days. We evaluated the effectiveness of antipsychotics with the Positive and Negative Symptoms Scale and the safety with the UKU Side Effects Rating Scale, Simpson-Angus Scale, and Barnes Akathisia rating scale. We genotyped CYP3A4*22 (rs2740574), CYP3A5*3 (6986A>G, rs7767746), CYP2D6*4, *9, *10 (rs3892097, rs1065852), ABCB1 1236C>T (rs1128503), 2677G>T/A (rs2032582), 3435C>T (rs1045642), DRD2 (rs1800497), DRD4 (rs1800955), HTR2A (rs6313) by the real-time polymerase chain reaction method. RESULTS: We found significantly more frequent "increased dream activity" between CYP2D6 intermediate metabolizers and normal metabolizers (54 vs. 22%; p=0.043). The «increased duration of sleep¼ was more often observed in homozygotes TT of ABCB1 2677G>T/A (50 vs. 15.8%, p=0.006) and TT of 3435C>T (41.7 vs. 8.2%, p=0.007). CONCLUSIONS: We found that CYP2D6 and ABCB1 polymorphisms were associated with the safety of antipsychotics in adolescents with an acute psychotic episode.

BACKGROUND: The focus of the study is to determine the prevalence of CYP2C19 alleles, associated with the risk of changes in the pharmacological response to clopidogrel and proton pump inhibitors in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and gastric ulcer from Russian and Yakut ethnic groups. METHODS: The research included 411 patients with ACS (143 Russians and 268 Yakuts) and 204 patients with histologically confirmed gastric ulcer (63 Russians and 141 Yakuts). Genotyping of 681G>A and 636G>A polymorphisms was performed by using polymerase real-time chain reaction. RESULTS: In both ethnic groups, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was followed in a distribution of alleles and genotypes in the population (p>0.05). The 681A allele frequency in the Yakut ethnic group was higher than in the Russian group: 17.53% vs. 8.39% (p=0.001). No statistically significant difference was found in the frequency of 636A in Yakuts and Russians with ACS: 3.92% vs. 3.50% (p=0.840). While comparing the frequency distribution of alleles 681A (13.49% vs. 14.54%, p=0.878) and 636A (7.94% vs. 7.80%, p=1) in patients with a gastric ulcer from Russian and Yakut ethnic groups, no significant difference was found in carrier frequency. CONCLUSIONS: The results of the present study may be helpful for developing guidelines for CYPC19 genotype-directed antiplatelet therapy for Yakut and Russian patients.

BACKGROUND: Phenazepam (bromdihydrochlorphenylbenzodiazepine) is the original Russian benzodiazepine tranquilizer belonging to 1,4-benzodiazepines. There is still limited knowledge about phenazepam's metabolic liver pathways and other pharmacokinetic features. METHODS: To determine phenazepam's metabolic pathways, the study was divided into three stages: in silico modeling, in vitro experiment (cell culture study), and in vivo confirmation. In silico modeling was performed on the specialized software PASS and GUSAR to evaluate phenazepam molecule affinity to different cytochromes. The in vitro study was performed using a hepatocytes' cell culture, cultivated in a microbioreactor to produce cytochrome P450 isoenzymes. The culture medium contained specific cytochrome P450 isoforms inhibitors and substrates (for CYP2C9, CYP3A4, CYP2C19, and CYP2B6) to determine the cytochrome that was responsible for phenazepam's metabolism. We also measured CYP3A activity using the 6-betahydroxycortisol/cortisol ratio in patients. RESULTS: According to in silico and in vitro analysis results, the most probable metabolizer of phenazepam is CYP3A4. By the in vivo study results, CYP3A activity decreased sufficiently (from 3.8 [95% CI: 2.94-4.65] to 2.79 [95% CI: 2.02-3.55], p=0.017) between the start and finish of treatment in patients who were prescribed just phenazepam. CONCLUSIONS: Experimental in silico and in vivo studies confirmed that the original Russian benzodiazepine phenazepam was the substrate of CYP3A4 isoenzyme.

Currently, schizophrenia is considered a multifactorial disease. Over the past 50 years, many investigators have considered the role of toxic free radicals in the etiology of schizophrenia. This is an area of active research which is still evolving. Here, we review the recent data and current concepts on the roles of nitric oxide (NO) and related molecules in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. NO is involved in storage, uptake and release of mediators and neurotransmitters, including glutamate, acetylcholine, noradrenaline, GABA, taurine and glycine. In addition, NO diffuses across cell membranes and activates its own extrasynaptic receptors. Further, NO is involved in peroxidation and reactive oxidative stress. Investigations reveal significant disturbances in NO levels in the brain structures (cerebellum, hypothalamus, hippocampus, striatum) and fluids of subjects with schizophrenia. Given the roles of NO in central nervous system development, these changes may result in neurodevelopmental changes associated with schizophrenia. We describe here the recent literature on NOS gene polymorphisms on schizophrenia, which all point to consistent results. We also discuss how NO may be a new target for the therapy of mental disorders. Currently there have been 2 randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trials of L-lysine as an NOS inhibitor in the CNS.
