Abstract

Objective  To analyze the influence of minapulam and duloxetine on the therapeutic effect and cognitive function of patients with depression.

Methods  A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of patients with depression admitted to the Third People's Hospital of Huzhou City from January 2023 to December 2024. They were divided into the observation group (minapulam) and the control group (duloxetine) according to the medication. The therapeutic effects of the two groups were compared [evaluated based on the reduction rate of the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) before and after treatment], HAMD before and after treatment, the score of the Clinical Efficacy Evaluation Scale (CGI), cognitive function, inflammatory factors [interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), tumor necrosis factor  -α (TNF-α)], norepinephrine (NE), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and the occurrence of adverse reactions.

Results  A total of 118 patients were included, with 60 in the observation group and 58 in the control group. There was no statistically significant difference in the therapeutic effect between the two groups (P>0.05). After treatment, the HAMD and CGI scores of the two groups were lower than those before treatment (P<0.05), and the scores of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) in both groups were higher than those before the treatment (P<0.05). After treatment, NE and 5-HT in both groups increased compared with those before treatment (P<0.05). After treatment, NE in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05), while there was no statistically significant difference in 5-HT between the two groups (P>0.05). After the treatment, the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in both groups were lower than those before the treatment, and the level of IL-10 was higher than that before the treatment (P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05).

Conclusion  The efficacy of minapulam and duloxetine in the treatment of depression is comparable. Both can improve the cognitive function of patients. Minapulam has a significant anti-inflammatory effect and higher safety.
