Abstract
BACKGROUND It has been suggested that shame may be an important feature in suicidal behaviors. The disposition to react with shame, "shame-proneness", has previously not been investigated in groups of attempted suicide patients. We examined shame-proneness in two groups of attempted suicide patients, one group of non-suicidal patients and one group of healthy controls. We hypothesized that the attempted suicide patients would be more shame-prone than non-suicidal patients and healthy controls. METHODS The Test of Self-Conscious Affect (TOSCA), which is the most used measure of shame-proneness, was completed by attempted suicide patients (n = 175: 105 women and 3 men with borderline personality disorder [BPD], 45 women and 22 men without BPD), non-suicidal psychiatric patients (n = 162), and healthy controls (n = 161). The participants were convenience samples, with patients from three clinical research projects and healthy controls from a fourth research project. The relationship between shame-proneness and attempted suicide was studied with group comparisons and multiple regressions. Men and women were analyzed separately. RESULTS Women were generally more shame-prone than men of the same participant group. Female suicide attempters with BPD were significantly more shame-prone than both female suicide attempters without BPD and female non-suicidal patients and controls. Male suicide attempters without BPD were significantly less shame-prone than non-suicidal male patients. In multiple regressions, shame-proneness was predicted by level of depression and BPD (but not by attempted suicide) in female patients, and level of depression and non-suicidality in male patients. CONCLUSIONS Contrary to our hypothesis and related previous research, there was no general relationship between shame-proneness and attempted suicide. Shame-proneness was differentially related to attempted suicide in different groups of suicide attempters, with significantly high shame-proneness among female suicide attempters with BPD and a negative relationship between shame-proneness and attempted suicide among male patients. More research on state and trait shame in different groups of suicidal individuals seems clinically relevant.

Abstract
Patients on long-term sick-leave (> 90 days) from white collar work, with a diagnosis of work-related depression, dysthymia, or maladaptive stress reaction were randomized either to cognitive group therapy (CGT), focused psychodynamic group therapy (FGT), or to a comparison group. All patients were interviewed and responded to self-report questionnaires before the start of treatment and at 6 and 12 months. At the 12-month follow-up, 70% of the patients met the criteria for reliable change of the target symptom (depression), and the sample as a whole improved significantly on all measures used. However, there were no differences in outcome between the three treatment groups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Over the last decade sickness absence and disability pension (DP) due to psychiatric disorders have increased considerably in Western countries. The scientific knowledge base about prognoses for such absences is very limited, but employers and clinicians often predict them to be very long. The aim of this study was to investigate sickness absence and disability pension in a cohort of employees who initially were on long-term sick leave due to psychiatric disorders, with regard to gender, age, socioeconomic status, and previous sickness absence. METHODS The cohort included 4,891 employees in Sweden, who, in 1999 were aged 20-61 and had a new sick-leave spell >90 days with a psychiatric disorder. Retrospective and prospective registry data on sickness absence and DP for 1996-2002 were obtained. Logistic regressions were performed to estimate odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for having a low, intermediate, or high level of sickness absence (<17, 17-90, and 91-365 days, respectively) or DP in 2002. RESULTS The mean number of sick-leave days per person per year 3 years prior to inclusion was low; 17 days, but had increased to 211 days by 2000. In 2002, 26% had been granted DP, significantly higher rate among men, while a higher rate of the women had long-term sickness absence. Of all 4,891 subjects, 35% had <17 sick-leave days in 2002. The OR of having low, intermediate, or long-term sickness absence decreased with age. The reverse was found for obtaining DP, for which also low socioeconomic status was an independent predictor of an increased risk (OR = 3.40, CI 2.28-5.08). CONCLUSIONS Employees with long-term sick leave due to psychiatric disorders did not have a high level of sickness absence in the 3 years prior to inclusion in the study. Also, 3 years after inclusion, only 35% had very low levels of sickness absence, whereas 26% had been granted DP. Employees who were aged 55-61 showed the lowest risk of sick leave but the highest risk of DP. Low SES was a significant predictor of DP in 2002.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to investigate the importance of stress for the development of periodontitis by comparing oral health status, proinflammatory markers, and cortisol in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and saliva in patients with stress-related mental depression and controls. METHODS The participants consisted of 43 women with stress-related depression and exhaustion (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition [DSM-IV], with a mean age of 42.0 (+/- 9.3 SD) years, and 29 controls, with a mean age of 54.5 (+/- 2.9 SD) years. Clinical examination included the assessment of dental plaque, gingival inflammation (GI), bleeding on probing (BOP), probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), and number of teeth. GCF was collected with an intracrevicular washing technique from four sites in each subject. Interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-6, and matrix metalloproteinase-9 were determined with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and cortisol with radioimmunoassay (125I RIA). Analysis of covariance (one-way covariance analyses) was used to remove the influence of age and smoking. RESULTS The amount of plaque was significantly higher in patients compared to controls (P<0.003). The patients had an average GI of 1.53 (+/-0.13 SD) compared to 0.89 (+/- 0.10 SD) for the controls (P< 0.001). The levels of cortisol in GCF was significantly higher in patients than in controls, 3.46 nmol/l (+/- 3.25 SD) and 0.30 nmol/l (+/- 0.25 SD), respectively (P<0.001), whereas cortisol in saliva did not differ between groups. The levels of IL-6 in GCF were significantly higher in the patients than in controls (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Women with stress-related depression and exhaustion had more plaque accumulation, GI and increased levels of IL-6 and cortisol in GCF compared to normal controls, suggesting that depression might affect immune function, which could lead to impaired periodontal health.

Abstract
Two independent measures, 5-HIAA and the Rorschach Suicide Constellation (S-CON), both related to suicide, were studied in an attempt to explore any relationship between the two. Lumbar puncture and the Rorschach were performed in standardized manner on 38 consecutive psychiatric inpatients, who had made a recent suicide attempt. Low CSF 5-HIAA was significantly related to the S-CON (rs = -.517, p = .033) and the Vista variable in the S-CON appeared to play an important role for the correlation. The results indicate that suicide attempters with low CSF 5-HIAA in this sample tended to experience more discomfort and pain during self-inspection. These results raise questions whether shame may be involved in the psychobiology of suicide.

Abstract
Attempts to link transmitter system genes to certain aspects of personality have been performed. Several monoamine-related gene variants have been investigated. We previously reported an association between a transcription factor activating protein-2beta (AP-2beta) variant and anxiety-related personality traits as estimated by Karolinska Scales of Personality (KSP). To confirm this reported association, we have, in the present study, analysed an enlarged group of healthy volunteers (n = 370) with regard to AP-2beta genotype and personality traits. For estimation of personality traits, individuals completed 5 different personality questionnaires, i.e. Swedish Universities Scales of Personality (SSP), Health-Relevant 5- Factor Personality Inventory (HP5i), Temperament and Character Inventory, the Revised NEO Personality Inventory and KSP. In contrast to men, women having two long AP-2beta alleles displayed lower scores for muscular tension (KSP; F = 10.65, p = 0.0013), somatic trait anxiety (SSP; F = 7.18, p = 0.0081), trait irritability (SSP; F = 4.51, p = 0.032), mistrust (SSP; F = 4.01, p = 0.0468) and negative affectivity (HP5i; F = 10.20, p = 0.0017) than women with at least one short allele. The data presented in this study, together with our previously published data, suggest that AP-2beta intron 2 genotype is associated with low levels of anxiety-related personality traits in women. Hence, these data further suggest the human AP-2beta gene as a novel candidate gene in personality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Disturbances in catecholamine transmission have been implicated in schizophrenia. Dopamine beta-hydroxylase catalyses the conversion of dopamine to norepinephrine in noradrenergic cells. We attempted to investigate a putative functional promoter polymorphism in the dopamine beta-hydroxylase gene (DBH) for association with schizophrenia. METHODS Unrelated schizophrenic patients (n=155) and control subjects (n=436) were analysed with regard to the DBH -1021 C/T variant. RESULTS No significant allele or genotype differences were found. CONCLUSIONS The present results do not support a major involvement of the DBH gene in schizophrenia in the Swedish population investigated.

Abstract
Monoamine oxidase type A (MAOA) has been implicated to be part of mechanisms underlying human temperament and psychiatric disorders. We hypothesised that a functional polymorphism in the 5' untranslated region of the MAOA gene is associated with specific personality traits. In 371 healthy Caucasians, we estimated personality traits by the use of the Karolinska Scales of Personality (KSP), Scandinavian Universities Scales of Personality, Health-Relevant 5-Factor Personality inventory, Temperament and Character Inventory and the revised NEO Personality Inventory. In the same subjects, we analysed the genotype of a polymorphic region consisting of a variable number of a 30-bp repeat sequence located approximately 1.2 kb upstream of the MAOA gene. After correction for multiple testing, no statistically significant differences between MAOA genotype and personality were observed in men (n = 206) nor in women (n = 165). We conclude that the structure of this MAOA promoter region does not have a large impact on the expression of personality characteristics in the present Swedish population.

Abstract
Monoaminergic transmission has been implicated in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. We investigated a putative functional promoter polymorphism in the monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) gene in schizophrenic patients (n=133) and control subjects (n=377). In men, there was an association between the less efficiently transcribed alleles and schizophrenia (chi(2)=4.01, df=1, p<0.05). In women, no significant differences were found. The present results support the involvement of the MAOA gene in men with schizophrenia in the investigated Swedish population but should be interpreted with caution until replicated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Personality traits have shown considerable heritable components. Striatal dopamine D(2) receptor density, as determined by positron-emission tomography, has been associated with detached personality, as assessed by the Karolinska Scales of Personality. A putative functional promoter polymorphism in the dopamine D(2) receptor gene (DRD2), -141C ins/del, has been associated with dopamine D(2) receptor density. METHODS In this study healthy subjects (n = 235) who filled in at least one of several personality questionnaires (Karolinska Scales of Personality, Swedish Universities Scales of Personality, Health-relevant Five-factor Personality Inventory, and Temperament and Character Inventory) were analyzed with regard to the DRD2 -141C ins/del variant. RESULTS There was an association (p =.001) between the DRD2 -141C ins/del variant and Karolinska Scales of Personality Detachment scale, indicating higher scores in subjects with the -141C del variant. There were also associations between the DRD2 -141C ins/del variant and a number of Karolinska Scales of Personality and Swedish Universities Scales of Personality Neuroticism-related scales, but of these only Swedish Universities Scales of Personality Lack of Assertiveness scale (p =.001) survived correction for multiple testing. CONCLUSIONS These results add further support for the involvement of dopamine D(2) receptor in certain personality traits. The results should be treated with caution until replicated.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To further evaluate the controversial putative association between a Ser9Gly variant in the first exon of the dopamine D3 receptor gene (DRD3) and schizophrenia. METHODS Swedish patients with schizophrenia ( n=156) and control subjects ( n=463) were assessed for the DRD3 Ser9Gly variant. Meta-analyses including previous and the present Swedish case-control results were performed. RESULTS No significant difference between the Swedish patients and controls were found, but there was an association between DRD3 Ser9Gly Ser/Ser and homozygous genotypes and response to anti-psychotic drugs. This finding was supported by an incomplete meta-analysis. In a meta-analysis of all case-control studies comprising 8761 subjects the association between DRD3 Ser9Gly homozygosity and schizophrenia ( =4.96, degree of freedom=1, p <0.05, odds ratio=1.10, 95% confidence interval=1.01-1.20) persisted. However, the previously proposed association between the Ser/Ser genotype and schizophrenia was not significant (chi2 =2.71, degree of freedom=1, p>0.05, odds ratio=1.08, 95% confidence interval=0.99-1.17). CONCLUSIONS Whereas the present Swedish case-control analysis did not yield any evidence for association with the diagnosis, the present meta-analysis suggests that the DRD3 gene confer susceptibility to schizophrenia. Reasons for the discrepancies between prior studies are discussed.

Abstract
Dopamine receptor gene variation has been hypothesized to influence personality traits characterized by novelty seeking and related traits. We analyzed a dopamine D(3) receptor gene (DRD3) variant in a Swedish population (n = 373) investigated with one or more of several personality questionnaires. No significant relationships were found between DRD3 genotypes and any of the 15 Karolinska Scales of Personality (KSP) and five Health-relevant Personality 5 factor inventory (HP5i) scales. The DRD3 variant was associated with some scales related to novelty seeking: the Swedish universities Scales of Personality (SSP) Adventure Seeking and the revised NEO personality inventory (NEO-PI-R) Fantasy (O1) and Order (C2) scales. There were also associations with the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) Cooperativeness and Compassion (C4) scales. After correction for multiple testing, however, no significant difference remained. We conclude that the investigated DRD3 polymorphism does not have a major impact on personality in the investigated population.

Abstract
Genetic components are involved in the aetiology of schizophrenia. Activating Protein 2 (AP-2) transcription factors are essential for neural gene expression and neural development. Transcription factor AP-2beta has also been connected with monoaminergic genes and monoamine levels in various brain regions. Thus, the AP-2beta gene is a suitable candidate taking both the neurodevelopmental and dopamine hypotheses of schizophrenia into account. We investigated 135 schizophrenic patients and 382 control subjects with regard to an intronic AP-2beta variant without evidence of any association. We conclude that the investigated AP-2beta variant is not of major importance to schizophrenia in the investigated Swedish population.

Abstract
The dopamine D(4) receptor has been implicated in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. An association between a putative functional promoter polymorphism (-521C/T) in the dopamine D(4) receptor gene (DRD4) and schizophrenia was recently reported. In the present study, patients with schizophrenia (n = 132) and control subjects (n = 388) were analyzed with respect to the DRD4 - 521C/T polymorphism. No significant case control differences emerged. The present results do not support a major role for DRD4 in the etiology of schizophrenia among Caucasians from Sweden.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the relationship of the tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) genotype to suicidality by the study of surviving monozygotic (MZ) cotwins of twins who committed suicide. METHOD Twenty-four surviving Swedish MZ twins whose MZ cotwins had committed suicide were compared to 158 demographically sampled Swedish general population controls for TPH alleles. We also examined serotonin transporter alleles. RESULTS The living MZ cotwins of suicide victims had a significantly higher TPH 17 779C allele frequency than controls. No significant difference was observed for serotonin transporter alleles. CONCLUSION These results, in a small sample, suggest the possibility that the 17 779C allele of the TPH gene may be associated with an increased risk of suicide. Further studies in larger samples are needed.

Abstract
Among theories of biological underpinnings to personality traits, different mechanisms of the serotonergic system are perhaps the most common factors suggested to influence individual differences in personality traits. We have investigated two frequent variants in the serotonin 2A receptor gene (5-HT2A) and personality traits. Healthy Swedish subjects (n = 304) were assessed with the Karolinska Scales of Personality (KSP) inventory. After correction for multiple testing, no significant differences were found. We conclude that the investigated 5-HT2A gene variants do not significantly influence personality as assessed by the KSP in the present population.

Abstract
Human family and twin studies have established considerable heritable components influencing individual differences in personality traits as assessed by self-report questionnaires. We have investigated a trinucleotide repeat polymorphism in the androgen receptor gene and personality traits. Healthy Swedish subjects (n = 335) were assessed with the Karolinska Scales of Personality inventory. There were tendencies (P > or = 0.006) in some scales indicating possible relationships between the androgen receptor allele length and personality traits related to dominance and aggression. However, after correction for multiple testing, no significant differences were found. We conclude that no significant association could be found between the androgen receptor polymorphism investigated and any personality trait, although the tendencies found are worthwhile subjects for replication attempts.

Abstract
Monoamine oxidases (MAO) play a critical role in the degradation of endogenous and exogenous amines throughout the body. There are two distinct MAO isoforms, MAO-A and MAO-B, which both are encoded in genes on the X chromosome. Alterations in MAO-B activity have previously been connected with several neurological disorders. Platelet MAO (trbc-MAO) is exclusively of the B-type and the catalytic activity of this enzyme is under strong, yet unknown, genetic control. Specific trbc-MAO activity has been reported to be increased in certain neurodegenerative diseases and to correlate with personality traits such as sensation seeking and impulsiveness. In the present study, we investigated if trbc-MAO activity is associated with genotype at a variable region (A/G dimorphism) in intron 13 of the human gene encoding MAO-B. The MAOB intron 13 allele status and levels of trbc-MAO were determined for 55 Caucasian non-smoking males. Individuals with the "A-allele" displayed significantly lower enzyme activity than individuals with the "G-allele", i.e. 11.4 +/- 0.6 nmol/10(10) platelets/min compared with 13.5 +/- 0.6 (mean +/- SEM, p = 0.019). The present results suggest that the MAOB genotype may be involved in determining trbc-MAO activity.

Abstract
Transcription factor AP-2beta is implicated in playing an important role during embryonic development of different parts of the brain, eg, midbrain, hindbrain, spinal cord, dorsal and cranial root ganglia.1,2 The gene encoding AP-2beta contains a polymorphic region which includes a tetranucleotide repeat of [CAAA] four or five times, located in intron 2 between nucleotides 12593 and 12612.3 Since the midbrain contains structures important for variables such as mood and personality, we have investigated if the AP-2beta genotype is associated with personality traits estimated by the Karolinska Scales of Personality (KSP). Identification of transcription factor genes as candidate genes in psychiatric disorders is a novel approach to further elucidate the genetic factors that, together with environmental factors, are involved in the expression of specific psychiatric phenotypes. The AP-2beta genotype and KSP scores were determined for 137 Caucasian volunteers (73 females and 64 males). The personality traits muscular tension, guilt, somatic anxiety, psychastenia and indirect aggression were significantly associated with the specific AP-2beta genotype, albeit with significant difference between genders. Based on this result the human AP-2beta gene seems to be an important candidate gene for personality disorders. Moreover, the present results suggest that the structure of the intron 2 region of the AP-2beta gene is one factor that contributes to development of the constitutional component of specific personality traits.

Abstract
Genetic factors and dopamine receptor dysfunction have been implicated in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Recently, an association between a putative functional promoter polymorphism (-141C Ins/Del) in the dopamine D2 receptor gene and schizophrenia was reported. We investigated unrelated Swedish schizophrenic patients (n = 129) and control subjects (n = 179) for the same polymorphism. Similarly to a previous Japanese report, the - 141C Del allele frequency was significantly lower in patients than controls (chi2=4.4, 1 df, p<0.05; odds ratio 0.49, 95% confidence interval 0.26-0.91). The present and previous results may indicate that the -141C Ins/Del dopamine D2 receptor gene polymorphism affects susceptibility to schizophrenia.

Abstract
Human family and twin studies have established considerable heritable components in personality traits as assessed by self-report questionnaires. Recently, an association between a functional polymorphism in the upstream regulatory region of the serotonin transporter gene and neuroticism-related personality traits was reported. Two different serotonin transporter polymorphisms including the previously associated variant were genotyped in two samples of healthy Swedish subjects (n = 127 and n = 178, respectively) assessed with the Karolinska Scales of Personality (KSP) inventory. No statistically significant association between serotonin transporter polymorphisms and any of the eight neuroticism-related KSP scales was found. Thus, the previously reported association between serotonin transporter alleles and neuroticism-related personality traits could not be replicated in the present study.

Abstract
Evidence is mounting that genetic factors may be included in the many determinants of suicide. Clinical studies of psychiatric patients have suggested that risk of suicidal behavior is increased by the presence of family history of suicidality, a claim that is also supported by findings of twin and adoption studies. In addition, molecular genetic studies have reported polymorphisms in the tryptophan hydroxylase gene that is involved in the synthesis of serotonin. The genetic susceptibility to suicide, however, tends to affect individuals only in association with stress or psychiatric illness.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Personality traits have shown considerable heritable components. Association between alleles of a polymorphism in the third exon of the dopamine D4 receptor gene (DRD4) and the personality trait Novelty Seeking has been reported. Recently, in a sample of Swedish non-psychiatric subjects we could not detect any significant relationships between the same polymorphism and Novelty Seeking related scales in the Karolinska Scales of Personality (KSP). However, there was a tendency in the direction of the proposed association. There were also tentative associations between an exon I 13 bp deletion polymorphism and the personality traits Socialization and Guilt. METHODS We investigated a new Swedish population-based sample (N = 167) investigated with the KSP for three DRD4 polymorphisms. RESULTS Neither of the previous results were replicated. Combining the previous and the present samples did not give rise to any significant association between DRD4 polymorphisms and personality scales. CONCLUSIONS The dopamine D4 receptor gene is probably not of importance to the different personality dimensions as measured by the Karolinska Scales of Personality.

Abstract
Suicidal behavior, like so much else in psychiatry, tends to cluster in families. Clinical studies show that a family history of suicide is associated with a raised risk of both attempts at suicide and completed suicide. Twin studies show that monozygotic twins have a greater concordance for suicidal behavior than dizygotic twins. Adoption studies also suggest that there may be genetic factors in suicide. Most recently, molecular genetic studies report that polymorphisms of the tryptophan hydroxylase gene are associated with suicidal behavior.

Abstract
We treated ten patients with medial wall fractures, five of whom had concomitant floor fractures. The most consistent preoperative findings were restriction in abduction with retraction of the globe and limitation in adduction. A direct medial canthal surgical approach provided adequate exposure for removing incarcerated tissue as well as covering the defect with a thin silicone implant. There were no surgical complications or evidence of implant migration, the longest follow-up being two years. Of the ten patients, six had satisfactory results with full or nearly full ductions, one was orthophoric in the primary position but still had significant restriction in abduction, and three had persistent diplopia in the primary position.

Abstract
We devised a frontalis sling by using two No. 40 silicone bands. Each free end was sutured to the tarsus and joined in the central brow area. We used pulley sutures in the medial and lateral brow incisions to prevent migration of the bands. With this method, adjustment of the eyelid level can be made anytime postoperatively through the central eyebrow incision because of the ease in finding the overlapped ends of the silicone bands. This is particularly useful for patients with chronic progressive ophthalmoplegia where poor closure and exposure keratopathy are potential postoperative problems.
