Childhood maltreatment predicts poor sleep quality in Chinese adults: The influence of coping style tendencies.

Background: This longitudinal study assessed the prospective link between childhood maltreatment and sleep quality in adulthood, with a specific focus on examining whether different coping style tendencies influence these associations.

Methods: The baseline sample included 1600 adult participants, with 1140 participants successfully followed up 5 years later. The key variables were measured using the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).

A control study on pain characteristics and influencing factors in patients with depressive disorders-based on a 5-year follow-up report from the epidemiological survey of mental disorders in Shandong Province, China.

Background: This study extends from the 2015 Shandong Province Epidemiological Survey of Mental Disorders in adults aged 18 and above. Over five years, it investigates pain characteristics and influencing factors in individuals with depressive disorders in Shandong Province.

Methods: The study encompasses 871 individuals who met DSM-IV criteria for depressive disorders in 2015.

Segmental abnormalities of superior longitudinal fasciculus microstructure in patients with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: An automated fiber quantification tractography study.

Introduction: Superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF) is a white matter (WM) tract that connects the frontal, parietal and temporal lobes. SLF integrity has been widely assessed in neuroimaging studies of psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia (SZ), bipolar disorder (BD), and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, prior studies have revealed inconsistent findings and comparisons across disorders have not been fully examined.

The causal association between empty nest and depressive symptoms with cognitive impairments in China.

Background: In the context of rapid aging, "empty nest syndrome" is becoming a major public health concern. The causal effects of empty nest on depressive symptoms have been studied in developed countries, but the mediating mechanism of depressive symptoms in the association between empty nest and cognitive impairments has not been studied. This study estimated the causal association of empty nest with depressive symptoms and cognitive impairments in China, and then estimated how depression mediates the association between empty nest and cognitive impairments.

Prevalence of mental disorders in 21st century Shandong Province, China: A ten-year comparative study.

Methods: Multistage stratified random sampling methods were used to identify primary sampling sites for cross-sectional surveys in 2004 and 2015 in Shandong, China.

Sleep quality as a mediator of the association between coping styles and mental health: a population-based ten-year comparative study in a Chinese population.

Backgrounds: Little is known about the variation in sleep quality and its association with coping style and mental health in 21 century China, despite of enormous socioeconomic changes. This study aims to document the variation in sleep quality and its contribution to the association between coping style and mental health in China.

Effects of SSRIs on peripheral inflammatory markers in patients with major depressive disorder: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Peripheral levels of inflammatory markers are elevated in major depressive disorder (MDD). Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) affect levels of inflammatory markers in patients with MDD, but studies have reported inconsistent findings. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to investigate the effects of SSRI treatment on peripheral levels of a range of inflammatory markers in MDD patients.
