Objective: This study aims to analyze the causal relationship between Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPI) and the risk of Dementia (DEM) using Mendelian Randomization (MR) analysis, providing a reference for clinical medication decisions.

Methods: Based on summary data from Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS), this study uses two common PPI drugs, Lansoprazole (LAN) and Omeprazole (OME), as exposure factors. DEM and its five subtypes: Dementia in Alzheimer Disease (DAD), Vascular Dementia (VD), Dementia due to Parkinson Disease (DPD), Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), and Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) are used as outcome factors.

Objective: This study explores the behavioral and molecular biological impacts of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) on depressive mice unresponsive to treatment with Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs).

Methods: Healthy male C57BL/6 mice were used to establish a depression model through chronic restraint stress, treated with fluoxetine, and categorized into Response and Non-response groups. An FMT treatment was added to the Non-response group.

Analyze the use of antibacterial drugs and bacterial resistance in psychiatric hospital during the epidemic. Using the hospital information system and the National Antibacterial Drug Clinical Application Monitoring Network, we retrospectively collected data on the use of antibacterial drugs and bacterial resistance in psychiatric hospitals during the 2022 epidemic. During the 2022 epidemic, our hospital had an antibiotic use rate of 5.

This study aims to explore the mechanism by which gut microbiota influences the antidepressant effects of serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) through metabolic pathways. A total of 126 patients were analyzed for their gut microbiota and metabolomics. Patients received SSRI treatment and were categorized into responder and non-responder groups based on changes in their Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-17) scores before and after treatment.

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluates the safety of Vilazodone, a medication, by analyzing potential adverse events (AEs) using data from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) from 2011 to 2023.
  • A total of 5,375 reports related to Vilazodone were identified, revealing notable AEs such as psychiatric disorders, gastrointestinal issues, and new potential risks like sleep disturbances and sexual dysfunctions, especially among females and those aged 45-65.
  • While Vilazodone shows promise for treating major depressive disorder (MDD), the study highlights the importance of being aware of these AEs, particularly the newly discovered risks.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the role of immune dysfunction in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia through single-cell transcriptome and bulk RNA data analyses.

Methods: The single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) was selected to assess the cellular composition and gene expression profiles of the brain tissue. Further, bulk RNA sequencing data was utilized to corroborate findings from the single-cell analyses and provide additional insights into the molecular changes associated with the disease.

Objective: The underlying etiology of schizophrenia is still not fully understood, and recent studies have pointed to a potential link between hormonal factors and the risk of developing this condition. Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG) is a protein that regulates the bioavailability of sex hormones. However, the causal relationship between SHBG levels and schizophrenia remains unclear, this study aimed to investigate the causal relationship based on two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.

Objective: To construct a prescription medication abuse (PMA) monitoring model for psychiatric hospitals and to assess its applicability.

Methods: A PMA monitoring working group was established to guide the formulation of a PMA monitoring system, which included three active real-time monitoring modes and one retrospective analysis monitoring mode. The effect of the established system was analyzed.

Background: Ferroptosis, as a new form of cell death, is different from other cell deaths such as autophagy or senescence. Ferroptosis involves in the pathophysiological progress of several diseases, including cancers, cardiovascular diseases, nervous system diseases, and kidney damage. Since oxidative stress and iron deposition are the broad pathological features of neurological diseases, the role of ferroptosis in neurological diseases has been widely explored.

Implant-related breast reconstruction can be divided into subpectoral breast reconstruction (SPBR) and prepectoral breast reconstruction (PPBR) according to the different anatomical planes. The previous stereotype was that PPBR had a high complication rate and was not suitable for clinical use. However, with the emergence of acellular dermal matrix (ADM), the clinical effect of PPBR has been improved.

Hypoxia and apoptosis are involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Hypoxia induces the formation of amyloid precursor protein in neurons, leading to the abnormal deposition of β-amyloid protein and hyperphosphorylation of Tau. Such changes increase the risk of AD.

t-SNARE domain containing 1 gene (TSNARE1) is located at human chromosome 8q24.3, and may play a crucial role in intracellular protein transport and synaptic transmission. Recently, a large-scale meta-analysis of genome-wide association study dataset identified that rs10098073 and rs4129585, two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within TSNARE1, were closely associated with the risk of schizophrenia in Caucasians.

A recent genome-wide association study indicated that rs11098403, a single nucleotide polymorphism in the vicinity of NDST3, was strongly associated with the risk of schizophrenia in Caucasians. However, this relation has not been validated in other populations or ethnic groups. Herein, we conducted a case-control study to investigate the association of rs11098403 polymorphism with the schizophrenia risk in a Han Chinese population comprising 440 schizophrenia patients and 450 control subjects.
