Objective: To
investigate the correlation of serum level of catecholamine transmitter and
action in children with sensory integrative dysfunction (SID).
Methods: The level of
adrenlalin (A), noradrenalin (NE) and dopamine (DA) in 40 children with SID
and 46 health children were quantitatively determined by radioimmunoassay (RIA).
Attention defect. WAISC IQ, heart rate and the rate of studying difficulty
were also measured.
Results: The level of
A, NE and DA in SID group were [(0.64±0.19) nmol/L; (3.20±0.66) nmol/L;
(1.45±0.20) nmol/L] respectively, which were significantly higher than in
controls group [(0.52±0.10) nmol/L; (2.23±0.61) nmol/L; (1.31±0.18)
nmol/L], (P<0.01, 0.01，0.05),
thenumber of attention defect, mean heart rate and the rate of
learning disorder were significantly
higher than that of
normal children (P<0.05,
0.01, 0.01), but there was no significant differences in IQ between two
groups (P>0.05).
Conclusion: The higher
serum level of A, NE and DA were presented in children with SID, and the
abnormal changes were closely related to their sympathetic behaviors.
