背景：处于月经周期黄体中期的女性比其他女性有更强的情感记忆。我们调查了在何种程度上经历了创伤性事件在月经周期的黄体期与更强的创伤闪回memors.Methods：Concretive女性患者入院后，创伤性损伤（n = 138）进行了评估天，因为最后一次月经，以及评估闪回。23名（17%）妇女在创伤暴露时处于黄体中期（18-24）天，29名（21%）妇女在评估时处于黄体中期。结果：如果妇女在创伤期间处于黄体期，她们更容易经历闪回记忆（22% vs. 9%），校正OR：3.64 [95%CI：0.99-13.29]，在控制损伤严重程度、年龄、创伤类型和轻度创伤性脑损伤后。评估时处于黄体期的女性出现闪回的可能性是正常女性的4.89倍。调整后OR：4.89 [95%CI：1.39-17.86]。结论：月经周期黄体期糖皮质激素释放增加可能有助于创伤记忆的巩固。(C)2010 Elsevier BV保留所有权利。
Background: Women in the mid-luteal phase of the menstrual cycle have been shown to have stronger emotional memories than other women. We investigated the extent to which experiencing a traumatic event during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle is associated with stronger traumatic flashback memories.Methods: Consecutive female patients admitted to hospital after traumatic injury (n = 138) were assessed for days since last menstruation, as well as assessment of flashbacks. Twenty three (17%) women were in the mid-luteal phase (18-24) days at the time of trauma exposure and 29 (21%) were in the mid-luteal phase at the time of assessment.Results: Women were more likely to experience flashback memories if they were in the luteal phase during the trauma (22% vs. 9%), adjusted OR: 3.64 [95%CI: 0.99-13.29] after controlling for injury severity, age, trauma type, and mild traumatic brain injury. Women in the luteal phase at assessment were 4.89 times more likely to have flashbacks. Adjusted OR: 4.89 [95%CI: 1.39-17.86].Conclusions: Increased glucocorticoid release associated with the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle may facilitate consolidation of trauma memories.
