An example is narcolepsy, in which emotionally laden events trigger sudden cataplexy.

一个例子就是嗜眠症，情感上沉重的负担往往会突然引发此症。

Cataplexy can be reduced by antidepressant drugs, which suppress rapid eye movement sleep.

猝倒可以减少抗抑郁药物，抑制快速眼动睡眠。

Narcolepsy affects around 30, 000 people in the UK and about 70 per cent of them also have cataplexy.

在英国，大约有三万人患有嗜睡症，其中70%的人会昏厥。

Like most cataplexy sufferers, Ms Underwood is also battling narcolepsy - a condition that makes her drop off to sleep without warning.

就和其他晕厥的人一样，Underwood也需要对抗嗜睡症的问题，这是一种会在毫无预警的情况下突然睡着的疾病。

There are two main classes of antidepressant used for treating cataplexy - the Tricyclic antidepressants and the Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors.

主要有两种类别的抗抑郁药用于治疗猝倒-三环抗抑郁药和选择性血清素再吸收抑制剂。

Dr Allen, 35, a scientist, suffers from bouts of "cataplexy", a rare symptom of narcolepsy, triggered by strong emotions-such as fear, surprise or laughter.

今年35岁的艾伦博士，患有一种“悴倒症”疾病。这是一种罕见的嗜睡症，患者一旦经历强烈的情感波折，如恐惧、惊讶和大笑，就会引发病症。

Finally, the expression levels of the candidate genes were further confirmed by quantitative real-time PCR using a new set of samples (20 narcolepsy-cataplexy patients and 20 healthy controls).

最后，用定量实时PCR法在一组新样本(20名发作性睡病-猝倒患者和20名健康对照)中进一步确认候选基因的表达水平。
