Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurological disorder and the predominant form of dementia among the elderly. Berberine (BBR) is an approved drug for Alzheimer's disease (AD) that has demonstrated a substantial improvement in cognitive function, proficient management of neurobehavioral symptoms, and enhancement of performance in vital everyday activities. Nonetheless, the adverse effects of the drug encompass vomiting and nausea, considerable variations in blood concentrations, and inadequate patient adherence.

Background: Male juvenile offenders, a high-risk group with elevated recidivism and violent crime rates, face significant mental health problems, particularly with a high prevalence of psychotic experiences. Childhood abuse is known to play a key role in such experiences. Evidence suggests that insomnia and depressive symptoms may mediate the relationship between childhood abuse and psychotic experiences.

Major depressive disorder (MDD) in adolescents is a significant global public health issue, yet its pathophysiological mechanism remains unclear. Although changes in lipid metabolites have been observed in people with MDD, most relevant studies focus on adults, with limited research on adolescents. Furthermore, little is known about how interactions between metabolites and psychosocial factors contribute to MDD among adolescents.

Background: There is a lack of comprehensive data regarding the association of depression and anxiety for the subsequent risk of thyroid disease.

Aim: To examine this prospective association between depression and anxiety and the risk of potential thyroid diseases, a large prospective study was conducted using data from UK Biobank.

Materials And Methods: Depression and anxiety were measured through self-reported Patient Health Questionnaire-4 (PHQ-4) at baseline, thyroid disease was diagnosed by corresponding hospital data documented through International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10 codes.

Immunotherapy has revolutionized the diagnosis and treatment model for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Numerous clinical trials and real-world reports have confirmed that PD-L1 status is a key factor for the successful use of immunotherapy in NSCLC, by predicting clinical outcomes and identifying patients most likely to benefit from this treatment. Therefore, accurate and standardized evaluation of PD-L1 expression is crucial.

Empirical research on the link between childhood maltreatment and coping styles in youths with depression remains scarce. This study explores the relationship between childhood maltreatment and coping styles in youths with major depressive disorder (MDD) and bipolar depression (BD). We recruited 277 youths with depression and 98 healthy controls (HC) using convenience sampling.

Adolescent depression is a significant global health challenge, with many patients responding inadequately to antidepressant treatments. Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω3 PUFAs) have been proposed as a potential adjunctive treatment, but their precise mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study aimed to explore the mechanisms through which ω3 PUFAs exert their antidepressant effects and to identify potential biomarkers for their therapeutic response.

Schizophrenia (SZ) is associated with an increased risk of violence, with clinical diagnosis primarily relies on symptomatology. The niacin skin flushing response (NSFR) is proposed as a potential biomarker for SZ, but its effectiveness in violent offenders with schizophrenia (VOSZ) remains unevaluated. This study investigates whether the diagnostic model differentiating general SZ patients (GSZ) from healthy controls (HCs) using NSFR can also distinguish VOSZ from HCs.

Treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS) is a serious mental disease and early identification of this disease is necessary for timely initiation of treatment strategies and management measures. This study aimed to investigate the potential of niacin skin flushing response (NSFR) combined with clinical features in recognizing TRS and non-TRS (NTRS). A total of 269 patients with schizophrenia (99 TRS and 170 NTRS) were included in this study.

The anterior cingulate cortex is responsible for multiple cognitive functions like fear, pain management, decision-making, risk and reward assessment, and memory consolidation. However, its cell-type-specific functions are not clearly understood. To reveal the selective functional role of Parvalbumin-expressing GABAergic interneurons in the ACC, we knocked down (KD) the PV gene in-vivo in rats.

Adolescent depression is a globally concerned mental health issue, the pathophysiological mechanisms of which remain elusive. Membrane lipids play a crucial role in brain development and function, potentially serving as a crossroad for the abnormalities in neurotransmitters, neuroendocrine, inflammation, oxidative stress, and energy metabolism observed in depressed adolescents. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the erythrocyte membrane lipid profile in adolescent depression.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore how the congruence between academic pressure and psychological imbalance affects depressive symptoms in adolescents and to further explore grade-level differences in these effects among high school students.

Methods: The study population consisted of 29,975 high school students from 20 schools in Liuyang City, Hunan Province. The Mental Health Scale for Secondary School Students (MSSMHS) and Self-Depression Scale (SDS) were used to assess academic pressure, psychological imbalance and depressive symptoms.

Previous studies have revealed morphologic alterations in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) with experiences of childhood trauma. However, the underlying neural mechanisms remain largely unknown. This study aims to explore the brain structural changes and their possible mediation role in the relationship between childhood maltreatment and psychological resilience in drug-naïve adolescents with first-episode MDD.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study evaluated the DASS-21 scale, which measures depression, anxiety, and stress among students, using a large sample of 7943 Chinese students to confirm its structure and effectiveness.
  • - Results showed a stable three-factor structure with significant correlations between depression, anxiety, and stress, indicating they are deeply interconnected.
  • - The analysis suggests a shorter version of the DASS be developed and calls for targeted mental health interventions to better support students' psychological well-being.
