Abstract
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a pleomorphic disease with substantial patterns of symptoms and severity with mensurable deficits in several associated domains. The broad spectrum of phenotypes observed in patients diagnosed with depressive disorders is the reflection of a very complex disease where clusters of biological and external factors (e.g., response/processing of life events, intrapsychic factors) converge and mediate pathogenesis, clinical presentation/phenotypes and trajectory. Patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) enable their differentiation into specialised cell types in the central nervous system to explore the pathophysiological substrates of MDD. These models may complement animal models to advance drug discovery and identify therapeutic approaches, such as cell therapy, drug repurposing, and elucidation of drug metabolism, toxicity, and mechanisms of action at the molecular/cellular level, to pave the way for precision psychiatry. Despite the remarkable scientific and clinical progress made over the last few decades, the disease is still poorly understood, the incidence and prevalence continue to increase, and more research is needed to meet clinical demands. This review aims to summarise and provide a critical overview of the research conducted thus far using patient-derived iPSCs for the modelling of psychiatric disorders, with a particular emphasis on MDD.

Predictive role of depressive symptoms on frailty and its components in Chinese middle-aged and older adults: a longitudinal analysis. BMC Public Health 2024; 24:2201. [PMID: 39138460 DOI: 10.1186/s12889-024-19627-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2023] [Accepted: 07/29/2024] [Indexed: 08/15/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between depressive symptoms and the prevalence of frailty and its components in a nationally representative sample of middle-aged and older Chinese adults. METHOD The China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) provided data on 2581 (after inclusion and exclusion criteria) adults aged ≥ 45 years. Every two years, face-to-face, computer-aided personal interviews (CAPI), and structured questionnaires were used to follow up with the respondents. The Chinese version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D) was used to evaluate depressive symptoms, and the Fried criteria were used to measure frailty. The odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for the association of exposure (depressive symptoms at baseline) with the onset of the outcome (frailty and its components) in the individuals at baseline were analyzed by binary logistic regression. RESULTS At baseline, 11.62% of participants had frailty, and 57.92% had depressive symptoms. In the cross-sectional analysis, depressive symptoms (OR = 5.222, 95%CI 3.665-7.442) were associated with frailty. In the longitudinal analysis, after adjusting for the full set of covariates among participants free of baseline frailty, depressive symptoms were significantly associated with incident frailty during the short term (OR = 2.193, 95%CI 1.324-3.631) and the long term (OR = 1.926, 95%CI 1.021-3.632). Meanwhile, depressive symptoms were associated with an increased risk of weakness (OR = 1.990, 95%CI 1.250-3.166), slowness (OR = 1.395, 95%CI 1.044-1.865), and exhaustion (OR = 2.827, 95%CI 2.150-3.719) onset during the short-term. Depressive symptoms were associated with an increased risk of exhaustion (OR = 2.869, 95%CI 2.004-4.109) onset during the long-term. CONCLUSION Among middle-aged and older adults, depressive symptoms could predict frailty during 2 years of follow-up and 4 years of follow-up. When considering potential confounding factors, depressive symptoms were considered a predictor of weakness, slowness, and exhaustion. Interventions aimed at preventing depressive symptoms may be beneficial in reducing frailty and its components.

Sodium propionate oral supplementation ameliorates depressive-like behavior through gut microbiome and histone 3 epigenetic regulation. J Nutr Biochem 2024; 130:109660. [PMID: 38685283 DOI: 10.1016/j.jnutbio.2024.109660] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2023] [Revised: 03/30/2024] [Accepted: 04/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024]
Abstract
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a global health concern, affecting over 250 million individuals worldwide. In recent years, the gut-brain axis has emerged as a promising field for understanding the pathophysiology of MDD. Microbial metabolites, such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs)-acetate, butyrate, and propionate-, have gained attention for their potential to influence epigenetic modifications within the host brain. However, the precise mechanisms through which these metabolites participate in MDD pathophysiology remain elusive. This study was designed to investigate the effects of oral SCFA supplementation in adult male Wistar rats subjected to chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS). A subset of control and CUMS-exposed rats received different supplementations: sodium acetate (NaOAc) at a concentration of 60 mM, sodium butyrate (NaB) at 40 mM, sodium propionate (NaP) at 50 mM, or a mixture of these SCFAs. The gut microbiome was assessed through 16S rRNA sequencing, and epigenetic profiling was performed using Western blot analysis. Results demonstrated that NaP supplementation significantly alleviated anhedonia in stressed animals, as evidenced by improved performance in the sucrose consumption test. This ameliorative effect was potentially associated with the modulation of gut bacterial communities, accompanied by the attenuation of the region-specific epigenetic dysregulation in the brain of the animals exposed to chronic stress. These findings suggest a potential association between gut dysbiosis and stress response, and NaP could be a promising target for future MDD interventions. However, further studies are needed to fully elucidate the underlying mechanisms of these effects.

Abstract
Few studies have examined the association of Life's Essential 8 (LE8) with depression among US adults. This is a cross-sectional study using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2020. LE8 score was measured as the mean score of eight metrics (diet, physical activity, nicotine exposure, sleep health, body mass index, blood lipid, blood glucose, and blood pressure). CVH was categorized into low, moderate, and high according to tertiles of LE8 score. Depression was defined based on the 9-Item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). Weighted logistic regressions were conducted to assess the associations of depression with CVH. Compared with participants with low CVH, the fully adjusted ORs of depression were 0.45 (0.37, 0.55) in the moderate CVH and 0.21 (0.15, 0.30) in the high CVH participants, respectively. The results remained robust in subgroup and sensitivity analyses. All eight LE8 metrics were negatively associated with depression, while nicotine exposure and sleep health were identified as two major metrics contributing to the association. Better CVH evaluated by LE8 was associated with decreased depression prevalence among US adults. Adherence to a higher CVH score, especially targeting smoking cessation and proper sleep duration, might be beneficial for prevention of depression.

Abstract
Unipolar depression is a prevalent and disabling condition, often left untreated. In the outpatient setting, general practitioners fail to recognize depression in about 50% of cases mainly due to somatic comorbidities. Given the significant economic, social, and interpersonal impact of depression and its increasing prevalence, there is a need to improve its diagnosis and treatment in outpatient care. Various efforts have been made to isolate individual biological markers for depression to streamline diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. However, the intricate and dynamic interplay between neuroinflammation, metabolic abnormalities, and relevant neurobiological correlates of depression is not yet fully understood. To address this issue, we propose a naturalistic prospective study involving outpatients with unipolar depression, individuals without depression or comorbidities, and healthy controls. In addition to clinical assessments, cardiovascular parameters, metabolic factors, and inflammatory parameters are collected. For analysis we will use conventional statistics as well as machine learning algorithms. We aim to detect relevant participant subgroups by data-driven cluster algorithms and their impact on the subjects' long-term prognosis. The POKAL-PSY study is a subproject of the research network POKAL (Predictors and Clinical Outcomes in Depressive Disorders; GRK 2621).

Abstract
Depression is the fourth most serious disease in the world. Left untreated, it is a cause of suicide attempts, emergence or exacerbation worsening of serious diseases, bodily and mental disorders, as well as increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, stroke, diabetes, and obesity, as well as endocrine and neurological diseases. Frequent coexistence of depression and other diseases requires the simultaneous use of several drugs from different therapeutic groups, which very often interact and intensify comorbidities, sometimes unrelated mechanisms. Sufficient awareness of potential drug interactions is critical in clinical practice, as it allows both to avoid disruption of proper pharmacotherapy and achieve substantive results. Therefore, this review aims to analyze the interactions of antidepressants with other concomitant medications. Against the backdrop of experimental research and a thorough analysis of the up-to-date literature, the authors discuss in detail the mechanisms and effects of action of individual drug interactions and adaptogens, including the latest antidepressants.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The systematic review evaluated the association of subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and specific MetS components in people with major psychiatric disorders. METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the association of SCH with MetS and its components in people with major psychiatric conditions. RESULTS Five studies incorporating 24,158 participants met the inclusion criteria. All five studies comprised patients with depression and/or anxiety. Three studies incorporating 3365 participants were suitable for the meta-analysis. The pooled Odds Ratio (OR) of MetS was 3.46 (95% Confidence Interval/CI = 1.39-8.62) in major depressive disorder (MDD) and anxiety disorders patients with concurrent SCH compared to those without SCH. Meta-analysis showed a significant positive association between SCH and high body mass index (OR = 2.58, 95%CI = 1.33-5.01), high fasting plasma glucose (OR = 3.05, 95%CI = 1.79-5.18) and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (OR = 2.30, 95%CI = 1.82-2.92). CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest a significant positive association between MetS and SCH in people with MDD and anxiety disorders. This review informed the clinical implications of MetS in MDD with comorbid SCH and the importance of early diagnosis and treatment for SCH and MetS in psychiatric patients.

Abstract
We examined whether knee extensor muscle strength can predict the onset of depressive symptoms in older Japanese women living in Tokyo. A baseline comprehensive geriatric examination was conducted to evaluate isometric knee extensor muscle strength and depressive symptoms (using Geriatric Depression Scale [GDS]) in 2017-2019. A free of neurological disease participants received a series of follow-up examinations following an initial evaluation. A GDS score of ≥5 during follow-up marked the onset of depressive symptoms. A logistic regression model was established after adjustment of baseline GDS score for variables including age, body mass index, smoking, alcohol consumption, comorbidities, working status, hobbies, volunteering, years of education, and dietary variety. Of the 1845 recruited individuals, 1409 were eligible to be targeted for follow-up. Among them, 768 women provided two-year follow-up data and contributed the final analysis. After covariate adjustments, the odds ratios (95% confidence interval) for depressive symptoms were 0.68 (0.39, 1.20) and 0.48 (0.26, 0.91) for the middle and highest tertiles of muscle strength, respectively, using the lowest tertile as reference. A dose-response association between muscle strength and depression (p = 0.022) was identified. This study suggests an inverse dose-response relationship between knee extensor muscle strength and the onset of depressive symptoms in older Japanese women.

Abstract
The identification and detection of disease-related biomarkers is essential for early clinical diagnosis, evaluating disease progression, and for the development of therapeutics. Possessing the advantages of high sensitivity and selectivity, fluorescent probes have become effective tools for monitoring disease-related active molecules at the cellular level and in vivo. In this review, we describe current fluorescent probes designed for the detection and quantification of key bioactive molecules associated with common diseases, such as organ damage, inflammation, cancers, cardiovascular diseases, and brain disorders. We emphasize the strategies behind the design of fluorescent probes capable of disease biomarker detection and diagnosis and cover some aspects of combined diagnostic/therapeutic strategies based on regulating disease-related molecules. This review concludes with a discussion of the challenges and outlook for fluorescent probes, highlighting future avenues of research that should enable these probes to achieve accurate detection and identification of disease-related biomarkers for biomedical research and clinical applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression, migraine, insomnia, and fibromyalgia are reportedly comorbidities. Nevertheless, no study has evaluated the comorbidity of all four of these disorders. This study aimed to investigate the comorbidity of these four disorders. METHODS Cross-sectional analyses were performed using data of the Circannual Change in Headache and Sleep study, an online nationwide population-based survey. Validated questionnaires were used to diagnose the disorders and measure quality of life. The change of clinical characteristics by addition of any comorbidity was analyzed using the Jonckheere-Terpstra trend test. RESULTS The prevalence rates of depression, migraine, insomnia, and fibromyalgia were 7.2 %, 5.6 %, 13.3 %, and 5.8 %, respectively. Among the 3030 included participants, 494 (16.3 %), 164 (5.4 %), 40 (1.3 %), and 6 (0.2 %) had one, two, three, and four of these conditions, respectively. The number of headache days per 30 days (Jonckheere-Terpstra trend test, p = 0.011) and migraine-related disability (migraine disability assessment score, p = 0.021) increased with an increase in the number of comorbidities but not with the intensity of headache (visual analog scale, p = 0.225) among participants with migraine. The severity of insomnia (Insomnia Severity Index, p < 0.001) and fibromyalgia (fibromyalgia severity score, p = 0.002) increased with additional comorbidities; however, depression (Patient Health Questionnaire-9, p = 0.384) did not show such an increase. LIMITATIONS The diagnoses of conditions were based on self-reported questionnaires. CONCLUSIONS The findings confirmed significant comorbidity between depression, migraine, insomnia, and fibromyalgia. Health professionals should be aware of the probable comorbidity of depression, migraine, insomnia, and fibromyalgia when caring for individuals with any of these four disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alexithymia is characterized by difficulties in describing feelings and physical sensations. Few studies have shown that there is a relation between alexithymia and dietary habits. OBJECTIVES To determine the prevalence of alexithymia and its association with dietary patterns among a sample of communities in the Eastern Region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted using a sample of 247 participants, were selected using convenience sampling. A well-organized and valid online questionnaire was administered, which covered variables related to socio-demographic data, anthropometric measurements, dietary patterns, and the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS). RESULTS The prevalence of Alexithymia was found as 39.3%. Moreover, among the alexithymia and possible alexithymia groups, the majority eat pasta 1-4 times per week (70% and 67% respectively). Alexithemic participants eat fewer vegetables and fruits 46%), while the remaining eat more (70%), p = .001. Only 34% of the cases eat breakfast regularly (p = .005). Furthermore, the cases drink soft drinks and juices at meals more than controls in this study (p = .025). CONCLUSION The present study provides further experimental evidence which supports existing literature that indicating the strong association between alexithymia and unhealthy dietary patterns. Also, Alexithymia prevalence in our study is (39.3%) ; because of the cultural impact of the Saudi environment due to the fact that the face of Saudi women is not revealed, and because the face is one of the main sources of expression of feelings, which makes females unable to express or read feelings well.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity and mental health issues are two of the most prevalent global public health issues for a significant portion of people. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between obesity indicators and mental health in Tehran-dwelling Iranian adults. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study on healthy Iranian adults using a convenience sampling technique. The short form of the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) was used to measure the outcome, and independent variables included body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), body adiposity index (BAI), and a body shape index (ABSI). The relationship between obesity and mental health was investigated using a multivariate logistic regression model. The non-linear dose-response relationships were evaluated using restricted cubic splines (RCS) with three knots. The Benjamini-Hochberg procedure was used to adjust for multiple testing. RESULTS In our study of 434 participants, females made up 52% of the participants, with a mean age of 38.57 years. In all, 54.6%, 53.9%, and 56.6% were classified as having anxiety, depression, and stress respectively. Logistic regression analysis showed that the odds of mental health components including anxiety, depression, or stress was not significantly different across the tertiles of the obesity indicators. We observed a significant dose-response relationship between BAI and ABSI and the risk of anxiety (PBenjamini-Hochberg 0.028 > Pdose-response 0.023) and stress (PBenjamini-Hochberg 0.028 > Pdose-response 0.003) but not depression (PBenjamini-Hochberg 0.014 < Pdose-response 0.018). The lowest risk for anxiety was observed in people with a BAI of 28% and ABSI equal to 0.079. The risk of stress seemed to increase beyond an ABSI of 0.086. CONCLUSION Our findings showed no direct linear association between obesity indices and anxiety. However, a dose-response relationship was observed between BAI and ABSI and the risk of anxiety and stress, indicating the need for further investigation.

Abstract
Major depression (MD) and obesity are complex genetic disorders that are frequently comorbid. However, the study of both diseases concurrently remains poorly addressed and therefore the underlying genetic mechanisms involved in this comorbidity remain largely unknown. Here we examine the contribution of common and rare variants to this comorbidity through a next-generation sequencing (NGS) approach. Specific genomic regions of interest in MD and obesity were sequenced in a group of 654 individuals from the PISMA-ep epidemiological study. We obtained variants across the entire frequency spectrum and assessed their association with comorbid MD and obesity, both at variant and gene levels. We identified 55 independent common variants and a burden of rare variants in 4 genes (PARK2, FGF21, HIST1H3D and RSRC1) associated with the comorbid phenotype. Follow-up analyses revealed significantly enriched gene-sets associated with biological processes and pathways involved in metabolic dysregulation, hormone signaling and cell cycle regulation. Our results suggest that, while risk variants specific to the comorbid phenotype have been identified, the genes functionally impacted by the risk variants share cell biological processes and signaling pathways with MD and obesity phenotypes separately. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study involving a targeted sequencing approach toward the study of the comorbid MD and obesity. The framework presented here allowed a deep characterization of the genetics of the co-occurring MD and obesity, revealing insights into the mutational and functional profile that underlies this comorbidity and contributing to a better understanding of the relationship between these two disabling disorders.

Obesity and lipid indices as predictors of depressive symptoms in middle-aged and elderly Chinese: insights from a nationwide cohort study. BMC Psychiatry 2024; 24:351. [PMID: 38730360 PMCID: PMC11088055 DOI: 10.1186/s12888-024-05806-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2023] [Accepted: 05/02/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Depressive symptoms are one of the most common psychiatric disorders, with a high lifetime prevalence rate among middle-aged and elderly Chinese. Obesity may be one of the risk factors for depressive symptoms, but there is currently no consensus on this view. Therefore, we investigate the relationship and predictive ability of 13 obesity- and lipid-related indices with depressive symptoms among middle-aged and elderly Chinese. METHODS The data were obtained from The China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). Our analysis includes individuals who did not have depressive symptoms at the baseline of the CHARLS Wave 2011 study and were successfully follow-up in 2013 and 2015. Finally, 3790 participants were included in the short-term (from 2011 to 2013), and 3660 participants were included in the long-term (from 2011 to 2015). The average age of participants in short-term and long-term was 58.47 years and 57.88 years. The anthropometric indicators used in this analysis included non-invasive [e.g. waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI), and a body mass index (ABSI)], and invasive anthropometric indicators [e.g. lipid accumulation product (LAP), triglyceride glucose index (TyG index), and its-related indices (e.g. TyG-BMI, and TyG-WC)]. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to examine the predictive ability of various indicators for depressive symptoms. The association of depressive symptoms with various indicators was calculated using binary logistic regression. RESULTS The overall incidence of depressive symptoms was 20.79% in the short-term and 27.43% in the long-term. In males, WC [AUC = 0.452], LAP [AUC = 0.450], and TyG-WC [AUC = 0.451] were weak predictors of depressive symptoms during the short-term (P < 0.05). In females, BMI [AUC = 0.468], LAP [AUC = 0.468], and TyG index [AUC = 0.466] were weak predictors of depressive symptoms during the long-term (P < 0.05). However, ABSI cannot predict depressive symptoms in males and females during both periods (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION The research indicates that in the middle-aged and elderly Chinese, most obesity- and lipid-related indices have statistical significance in predicting depressive symptoms, but the accuracy of these indicators in prediction is relatively low and may not be practical predictors.

Abstract
Cognitive dysfunctions are one of the key symptoms of schizophrenia (SZ) and major depressive disorder (MDD), which exist not only during the onset of diseases but also before the onset, even after the remission of psychiatric symptoms. With the development of neuroimaging techniques, these non-invasive approaches provide valuable insights into the underlying pathogenesis of psychiatric disorders and information of cognitive remediation interventions. This review synthesizes existing neuroimaging studies to examine domains of cognitive impairment, particularly processing speed, memory, attention, and executive function in SZ and MDD patients. First, white matter (WM) abnormalities are observed in processing speed deficits in both SZ and MDD, with distinct neuroimaging findings highlighting WM connectivity abnormalities in SZ and WM hyperintensity caused by small vessel disease in MDD. Additionally, the abnormal functions of prefrontal cortex and medial temporal lobe are found in both SZ and MDD patients during various memory tasks, while aberrant amygdala activity potentially contributes to a preference to negative memories in MDD. Furthermore, impaired large-scale networks including frontoparietal network, dorsal attention network, and ventral attention network are related to attention deficits, both in SZ and MDD patients. Finally, abnormal activity and volume of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and abnormal functional connections between the DLPFC and the cerebellum are associated with executive dysfunction in both SZ and MDD. Despite these insights, longitudinal neuroimaging studies are lacking, impeding a comprehensive understanding of cognitive changes and the development of early intervention strategies for SZ and MDD. Addressing this gap is critical for advancing our knowledge and improving patient prognosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Depressive symptoms have been suggested to increase mortality risk but causality remains unproven. Depressive symptoms increase likelihood of smoking which is thus a potential factor modifying the effect of depressive symptoms on mortality. This study aims to assess if the association of depressive symptoms and all-cause mortality is affected by smoking. METHODS A prospective cohort study in Finnish primary care setting was conducted among 2557 middle-aged cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk persons identified in a population survey. Baseline depressive symptoms were assessed by Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI) and current smoking by self-report. Data on mortality was obtained from the official statistics. Effect of depressive symptoms and smoking on all-cause mortality after 14-year follow-up was estimated. RESULTS Compared to non-depressive non-smokers, the adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for all-cause mortality was 3.10 (95% CI 2.02 to 4.73) and 1.60 (95% CI 1.15 to 2.22) among smoking subjects with and without depressive symptoms, respectively. Compared to the general population, relative survival was higher among non-depressive non-smokers and lower among depressive smokers. Relative standardized mortality ratio (SMR) for all-cause mortality was 1.78 (95% CI 1.31 to 2.44) and 3.79 (95% CI 2.54 to 6.66) among non-depressive and depressive smokers, respectively, compared to non-depressive non-smokers. The HR for all-cause mortality and relative SMR of depressive non-smokers were not increased compared to non-depressive non-smokers. CONCLUSION Current smoking and increased depressive symptoms seem to additively contribute to excess mortality.

Abstract
The objectives of this study were to examine the association between financial wellbeing and somatization, in addition to the mediating effect of anxiety, depression and stress. To test such hypotheses, a cross-sectional study was carried out between September and October 2021; 403 participants (264 females; age = 32.76 ± 13.24 years) were recruited. Depression mediated the association between financial wellbeing and somatization. A worse financial wellbeing was significantly associated with more depression, which was associated with more somatization. Moreover, a worse financial wellbeing was significantly and directly associated with more somatization. Our study adds to the narrow body of research revolving around the relationship between financial wellbeing and somatization in Lebanese adults. Understanding that the effects of, depression are aggravated in a country such as Lebanon would help establish more preventative guidelines and mental health awareness campaigns. Identifying the correlates of somatization can also be translated into improved interventions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pathophysiological theories assume importance of metabolic abnormalities in patients with major depression - and possibly chronic tinnitus. Although chronic tinnitus frequently correlates with depression, links between high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and depression are uninvestigated. METHODS Two-hundred patients with chronic tinnitus (Mage = 55; 51% female) were examined. Serum levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TGs), HDL, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), non-HDL, as well as LDL/HDL and TC/HDL ratios were analysed. Questionnaires included depression subscales of the ICD-10 Symptom Rating, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS_D), and the Berlin Mood Questionnaire (BSF). Multivariate analyses of covariance and linear regression models - which controlled age, tinnitus-related distress and perceived stress - investigated between-subgroup differences (p < 0.05) and linear associations between HDL indices and depression (p < 0.01). RESULTS HDL levels did not differ for tinnitus-symptom durations, smoking and alcohol use levels, statin or antihypertensive drug use, and body-mass indices. Relative to non-to-mildly depressed patients with chronic tinnitus, patients with moderate-to-severe depression (n = 45; 23%) had significantly lower HDL levels (d = -0.35) and higher LDL/HDL (d = 0.39) and TC/HDL ratios (d = 0.40). Across participants, HDL-levels were negatively associated with depression as measured by the HADS_D and BSF_indifference scales. CONCLUSIONS In keeping with general depression research, low serum HDL levels correlate with depressive symptomatology in patients with chronic tinnitus. This association may be influenced by proximal (e.g. modulations of HPA-axis activity) or distal factors (e.g. maladaptive coping behaviours) - both of which should be conceptualized within psychological stimulus-processing frameworks.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Association between depression and aneurysm has been implicated but the specific role of depression in aneurysm remains unclear. We aimed to comprehensively characterize the relation of major depressive disorder (MDD) with aneurysm by subtype. METHODS Harnessing summary statistics from genome-wide association studies (Ncase/Ncontrol = 7603/317,899 for aortic aneurysm; 7321/317,899 for thoracic aortic aneurysm; 3201/317,899 for abdominal aortic aneurysm; 1788/317,899 for cerebral aneurysm; and 246,363/561,190 for major depressive disorder), we estimated the genetic correlation between MDD and each of four aneurysm subtypes via LD Score Regression and tested the causality via various estimators under the bi-directional Mendelian randomization (MR) framework. RESULTS Positive genetic correlation of statistical significance, ranging between 0.15 (with thoracic aortic aneurysm, P = 0.005) and 0.25 (with abdominal aortic aneurysm, P = 0.001), was consistently observed for MDD with each aneurysm subtype. In the MR analysis of MDD as an exposure, genetic liability to MDD causally increased the risk of cerebral (odds ratio: 1.71; 95 % confidence interval: 1.26-2.34) but not aortic aneurysm. Replication analysis of an independent dataset (Ncase/Ncontrol = 6242/59,418) corroborated this signal. In contrast, causal effect was not evident for any neurysm subtype on susceptibility to MDD. LIMITATIONS Aneurysm could have been underdiagnosed if asymptomatic, leading to an underestimated causal impact on MDD. Non-linearity of the causal effect was not tested due to the lack of individual-level data. CONCLUSIONS Depression and aneurysm may share common pathomechanisms. Screening depressed population and improving the clinical management for depression may benefit the primary prevention of cerebral aneurysm.

Abstract
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is an increasingly common psychiatric illness associated with a high risk of insufficient physical activity, which in turn is associated with negative mental and physical health outcomes. Theory-based, individually tailored, in-person and remote physical activity counseling has the potential to increase physical activity levels in various populations. Given this, the present study investigated the effect of such a physical activity intervention on the physical activity behavior of in-patients with MDD. This was a multi-center, two-arm randomized controlled trial including initially insufficiently physically active adult in-patients with MDD from four study sites in Switzerland. The sample consisted of 220 participants (Mage = 41 ± 12.6 years, 52% women), 113 of whom were randomized to the intervention group and 107 to the control group. The main outcome, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), was assessed at three time points via hip-worn accelerometer. According to accelerometer measures, there was no significant difference in minutes spent in MVPA over a 12-month intervention period when comparing the intervention with the control group (β = -1.02, 95% CI = -10.68 to 8.64). Higher baseline physical activity significantly predicted physical activity at post and follow-up. This study showed that it is feasible to deliver an individually tailored, theory-based physical activity counseling intervention to in-patients with MDD, however yielding no significant effects on accelerometer-based MVPA levels. Further efforts are warranted to identify efficacious approaches.Trial registration: ISRCTN, ISRCTN10469580, registered on 3rd September 2018, https://www.isrctn.com/ISRCTN10469580 .

Abstract
BACKGROUND Comorbid depression substantially affects the management of glycemia and diabetes-related complications among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. In this study, we sought to determine the association between weight change over 4 years and depression risk among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS This population-based retrospective cohort study from the National Health Insurance Services of Korea included 1 111 345 patients with type 2 diabetes who were divided into groups according to body weight change over 4 years. Body weight changes were compared with the preceding 4-year period (2005-2008). Depression was defined according to the International Classification of Diseases 10th revision code for depression (F32 and F33) on one or more inpatient or outpatient claims. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 7.4 years, 244 081 cases of depression were identified. We observed a U-shaped association between body weight change and depression risk with a higher risk among both groups of weight loss (hazard ratio (HR) 1.17, 95% CI 1.15-1.19 for ⩾ -10%; HR 1.07, 95% CI 1.06-1.08 for -10 to -5%) and weight gain (HR 1.06, 95% CI 1.04-1.08 for ⩾10%; HR 1.02, 95% CI 1.01-1.04 for 5-10%) compared with the stable weight group (-5 to 5%). CONCLUSIONS A U-shaped association between body weight change and depression risk was observed in this large nationwide cohort study. Our study suggests that patients with type 2 diabetes and weight change, either gain or loss, could be considered a high-risk group for depression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Depression is a common and complex psychiatric disorder, and lipid metabolism plays an important role in the development of psychiatric disorders such as depression. Cardiometabolic index (CMI) is a novel index that synthesizes two quantitative indicators of blood lipids (triglyceride(TG)/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)) and human obesity-related parameters (waist height ratio (WHtR)). This study used NHANES data to explore the correlation between CMI and the incidence of depression. METHODS AND RESULTS Based on the data of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2018, multivariate logistic regression, sensitivity analysis, and smooth curve fitting were used to study the relationship between CMI and depression. Subgroup analysis and interaction tests were used to investigate whether the association was stable in different populations. CMI was positively associated with depression in 7229 participants aged >20 years. In the fully adjusted model, each unit increase in CMI was associated with 36 % higher likelihood of depression symptoms [1.36(1.16,1.59)]. Participants in the highest quartile of CMI had a 62 % higher risk of depression than participants in the lowest quartile [1.62(1.17,2.23)]. This positive correlation was more pronounced in those with hypertension. CONCLUSIONS CMI was associated with a higher PHQ-9 score and an increased likelihood of depression among US adults. Further large-scale prospective studies are still need to analyze the role of CMI in depression.

Abstract
Objective : To explore illness-related factors in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) recipients of adjunctive minocycline (200 mg/day) treatment. The analysis included participants experiencing MDD from a 12-week, double blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial (RCT). Methods : This is a sub-analysis of a RCT of all 71 participants who took part in the trial. The impact of illness chronicity (illness duration and number of depressive episodes), systemic illness (endocrine, cardiovascular and obesity), adverse effects and minocycline were evaluated as change from baseline to endpoint (12-week) using ANCOVA. Results : There was a consistent but statistically non-significant trend on all outcomes in favour of the use of adjunctive minocycline for participants without systemic illness, less illness chronicity, and fewer adverse effects. Conclusion : Understanding the relationship between MDD and illness chronicity, comorbid systemic illness, and adverse effects, can potentially better characterise those individuals who are more likely to respond to adjunctive anti-inflammatory medications.

Dysregulated cerebral blood flow, rather than gray matter Volume, exhibits stronger correlations with blood inflammatory and lipid markers in depression. Neuroimage Clin 2024; 41:103581. [PMID: 38430800 PMCID: PMC10944186 DOI: 10.1016/j.nicl.2024.103581] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2024] [Revised: 02/08/2024] [Accepted: 02/25/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024]
Abstract
Arterial spin labeling (ASL) can be used to detect differences in perfusion for multiple brain regions thought to be important in major depressive disorder (MDD). However, the potential of cerebral blood flow (CBF) to predict MDD and its correlations between the blood lipid levels and immune markers, which are closely related to MDD and brain function change, remain unclear. The 451 individuals - 298 with MDD and 133 healthy controls who underwent MRI at a single time point with arterial spin labelling and a high resolution T1-weighted structural scan. A proportion of MDD also provided blood samples for analysis of lipid and immune markers. We performed CBF case-control comparisons, random forest model construction, and exploratory correlation analyses. Moreover, we investigated the relationship between gray matter volume (GMV), blood lipids, and the immune system within the same sample to assess the differences in CBF and GMV. We found that the left inferior parietal but supramarginal and angular gyrus were significantly different between the MDD patients and HCs (voxel-wise P < 0.001, cluster-wise FWE correction). And bilateral inferior temporal (ITG), right middle temporal gyrus and left precentral gyrus CBF predict MDD (the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the random forest model is 0.717) and that CBF is a more sensitive predictor of MDD than GMV. The left ITG showed a positive correlation trend with immunoglobulin G (r = 0.260) and CD4 counts (r = 0.283). The right ITG showed a correlation trend with Total Cholesterol (r = -0.249) and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (r = -0.295). Immunity and lipids were closely related to CBF change, with the immunity relationship potentially playing a greater role. The interactions between CBF, plasma lipids and immune index could therefore represent an MDD pathophysiological mechanism. The current findings provide evidence for targeted regulation of CBF or immune properties in MDD.

Depressive symptoms, lifestyle behaviors, and risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality in individuals of different socioeconomic status: A prospective cohort study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression is a global health issue, associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and premature death, but whether the association varied across different socioeconomic status (SES), and mechanisms responsible for this association is unclear. We aimed to evaluate the association of depressive symptoms with the risk of incident CVD and mortality in people of low, medium, and high SES, and determine the extent to which lifestyle behaviors could explain the association. METHODS This study included 314,800 participants from the UK Biobank. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-2 (PHQ-2). Information on socioeconomic status and lifestyle was obtained from baseline assessment. RESULTS During 12 years of follow-up, 29,074 incident CVD cases and 16,673 deaths were documented. The increased CVD risk in participants with depressive symptoms (versus without) was more pronounced as SES decreased, with hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of 1.30 (1.22, 1.39), 1.27 (1.17, 1.37), and 1.17 (0.97, 1.41) in participants of low, medium, and high SES, respectively. The corresponding HRs (95% CIs) for all-cause mortality were 1.16 (1.07, 1.26), 1.21 (1.08, 1.36), and 1.24 (0.95, 1.61). In addition, multiple lifestyle factors together explained 14.4% to 32.8% of the elevated CVD and mortality risk due to depressive symptoms. LIMITATIONS Moderate sensitivity of PHQ-2, lacked information on the severity of depression, baseline measurement of lifestyle. CONCLUSIONS Depressive symptoms were associated with higher risks of incident CVD and mortality, especially in low SES groups, and lifestyle behaviors only explained a moderate proportion of the association. These findings indicated that health policies targeting healthy lifestyle promotion alone might not be sufficient, and other measures tackling social inequity are warranted to attenuate the elevated health risk due to depression.

Abstract
Background Although observational studies have suggested a bidirectional relation between depression and intracranial aneurysms (IAs), their causal relations remain unclear. Thus we aimed to assess the causal association between depression and IAs. Methods We conducted a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study using summary-level data from publicly available genome-wide association studies of depression (n = 500,199), IAs (n = 79,429), unruptured intracranial aneurysm (uIA) (n = 74,004), and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) (n = 77,074). MR analyses included the inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method as the primary analytic, plus weighted-median, simple mode, weighted mode, MR-Egger, and MR PRESSO. Results Genetically predicted depression was strongly positively related to IAs (odds ratio [OR] = 1.69, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.19-2.39, p = 0.003), uIA (OR = 1.96, 95% CI 1.06-3.64, p = 0.032), and SAH (OR = 1.73, 95% CI 1.14-2.61, p = 0.009). Reverse MR analyses showed that while genetically predicted uIA was positively related to depression (OR = 1.02, 95% CI 1.00-1.05, p = 0.044), no causal relations were observed for either IAs or SAH for depression. Conclusion Our findings provide evidence of a causal effect of depression on IAs, uIA, and SAH. For the reverse MR analyses, we found a causal impact of uIA on depression, but no causal influence of either IAs or SAH for depression.

Abstract
AIMS Co-occurring somatic diseases exhibit complex clinical profiles, which can differentially impact the development of late-life depression. Within a community-based cohort, we aimed to explore the association between somatic disease burden, both in terms of the number of diseases and their patterns, and the incidence of depression in older people. METHODS We analysed longitudinal data of depression- and dementia-free individuals aged 60+ years from the population-based Swedish National Study on Aging and Care in Kungsholmen. Depression diagnoses were clinically ascertained following the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition Text Revision over a 15-year follow-up. Somatic disease burden was assessed at baseline through a comprehensive list of chronic diseases obtained by combining information from clinical examinations, medication reviews and national registers and operationalized as (i) disease count and (ii) patterns of co-occurring diseases from latent class analysis. The association of somatic disease burden with depression incidence was investigated using Cox models, accounting for sociodemographic, lifestyle and clinical factors. RESULTS The analytical sample comprised 2904 people (mean age, 73.2 [standard deviation (SD), 10.5]; female, 63.1%). Over the follow-up (mean length, 9.6 years [SD, 4 years]), 225 depression cases were detected. Each additional disease was associated with the occurrence of any depression in a dose-response manner (hazard ratio [HR], 1.16; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.08, 1.24). As for disease patterns, individuals presenting with sensory/anaemia (HR, 1.91; 95% CI: 1.03, 3.53), thyroid/musculoskeletal (HR, 1.90; 95% CI: 1.06, 3.39) and cardiometabolic (HR, 2.77; 95% CI: 1.40, 5.46) patterns exhibited with higher depression hazards, compared to those without 2+ diseases (multimorbidity). In the subsample of multimorbid individuals (85%), only the cardiometabolic pattern remained associated with a higher depression hazard compared to the unspecific pattern (HR, 1.71; 95% CI: 1.02, 2.84). CONCLUSIONS Both number and patterns of co-occurring somatic diseases are associated with an increased risk of late-life depression. Mental health should be closely monitored among older adults with high somatic burden, especially if affected by cardiometabolic multimorbidity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lack of physical activity (PA) and high sedentary behavior (SB) may enhance mental health problems, including depression, and are associated with increased mortality. Aside from a large body of research on major depressive disorder (MDD) assessed as an entity and either PA or SB, few studies have examined associations among subtypes of MDD and both PA and SB simultaneously derived from wrist-worn accelerometers. Accordingly, our aim was to explore the associations among MDD subtypes (atypical, melancholic, combined atypical-melancholic and unspecified) and four actigraphy-derived behaviors combining the levels of PA and SB. METHODS The sample stemmed from CoLaus|PsyCoLaus, a population-based cohort study, consisting of 2375 participants (55.1% women; mean age: 62.4 years) who wore an accelorometer for 14 days after a physical exam and subsequently completed a semi-structured psychiatric interview. Activity behaviors were defined according to the combination of the levels of moderate-to-vigorous intensity PA and SB. Associations of remitted MDD subtypes, current MDD and physical inactivity behaviors were assessed using multinomial logistic regression, adjusted for socio-demographic characteristics, a history of anxiety, alcohol and drug use disorders and cardiovascular risk factors. RESULTS In the fully adjusted model, participants with the remitted combined atypical-melancholic subtype had a higher risk of being more physically inactive. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that low PA and high SB are not restricted to the duration of depressive episodes in people with atypical and melancholic episodes. The lack of PA and high SB in this group of depressive patients exposes them to an additional long-term cardiovascular risk and measures to increase PA may be particularly fruitful in this MDD subgroup.

Abstract
Background To investigate the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between depressive symptoms and the prevalence of frailty and its components in a nationally representative sample of middle-aged and older Chinese adults. Method The China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) provided data on 17,104 adults aged ≥ 45 years. Every two years, face-to-face, computer-aided personal interviews (CAPI), and structured questionnaires were used to follow up with the respondents. The Chinese version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D) was used to evaluate depressive symptoms, and the Fried criteria were used to measure frailty. The odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for the cross-sectional connections among depressive symptoms and frailty and its components in the individuals at baseline were analyzed using logistic regression. A Cox proportional hazards analysis was performed using the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval for the prospective connection between baseline depressive symptoms and frailty and its component in the participants without frailty at baseline. Results At baseline, 11.62% of participants had frailty, and 57.92% had depressive symptoms. In the cross-sectional analysis, depressive symptoms (OR = 5.222, 95%CI 3.665-7.442) were associated with frailty. In the longitudinal analysis, after adjusting for the full set of covariates among participants free of baseline frailty, depressive symptoms were significantly associated with incident frailty during the short term [HR = 2.193 (1.324-3.631)] and the long term [HR = 1.926 (1.021-3.632)]. Meanwhile, depressive symptoms were associated with an increased risk of weakness [HR = 1.990 (1.250-3.166)], slowness [HR = 1.395 (1.044-1.865)], and exhaustion [HR = 2.827 (2.150-3.719)] onset during the short-term. Depressive symptoms were associated with an increased risk of exhaustion [HR = 2.869 (2.004-4.109)] onset during the long-term. Conclusion Among middle-aged and older adults, depressive symptoms could predict frailty during 2 years of follow-up and 4 years of follow-up. When considering potential confounding factors, depressive symptoms were considered a predictor of weakness, slowness, and exhaustion. Interventions aimed at preventing depressive symptoms may be beneficial in reducing frailty and its components.

Abstract
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a stress-related mental disorder with a lifetime prevalence of 20% and, thus, is one of the most prevalent mental health disorders worldwide. Many studies with a large number of patients support the notion that abnormalities of the hypothalamus-pituitaryadrenal (HPA) axis are crucial for the development of MDD. Therefore, a number of strategies and drugs have been investigated to target different components of the HPA axis: 1) corticotrophinreleasing hormone (CRH) 1 receptor antagonists; 2) vasopressin V1B receptor antagonists, 3) glucocorticoid receptor antagonists, and 4) FKBP5 antagonists. Until now, V1B receptor antagonists and GR antagonists have provided the most promising results. Preclinical data also support antagonists of FKBP5, which seem to be partly responsible for the effects exerted by ketamine. However, as HPA axis alterations occur only in a subset of patients, specific treatment approaches that target only single components of the HPA axis will be effective only in this subset of patients. Companion tests that measure the function of the HPA axis and identify patients with an impaired HPA axis, such as the dexamethasone-corticotrophin-releasing hormone (dex-CRH) test or the molecular dexamethasonesuppression (mDST) test, may match the patient with an effective treatment to enable patient-tailored treatments in terms of a precision medicine approach.

Abstract
Higher prevalence of depression in females might be associated with sex-specific cortisol levels. Evidence exists that cortisol levels differ between healthy females and males, however a sex-specific association in depression has not been systematically assessed. Thus, the current study quantifies the existing literature on different cortisol parameters, i.e., basal cortisol, hair cortisol, cortisol awakening response (CAR), and cortisol stress reactivity comparing depressed females and males as well as sex-specific comparisons with healthy controls. Following an extensive literature research, fifty original articles were included. Depressed females had significantly higher hair cortisol, higher CAR, and lower cortisol stress reactivity compared to depressed males. In comparison with sex-matched controls, female patients had significantly higher evening basal cortisol, higher CAR and lower cortisol stress reactivity, and male patients had significantly higher general, morning and evening basal cortisol. Overall, sex as a fundamental driver of cortisol levels in depression needs to be taken into account.

Abstract
Evidence suggests that being evicted harms health. Largely ignored in the existing literature is the possibility that evictions exert community-level health effects, affecting evicted individuals' social networks and shaping broader community conditions. In this narrative review, we summarize evidence and lay out a theoretical model for eviction as a community health exposure, mediated through four paths: 1) shifting ecologies of infectious disease and health behaviors, 2) disruption of neighborhood social cohesion, 3) strain on social networks, and 4) increasing salience of eviction risk. We describe methods for parsing eviction's individual and contextual effects and discuss implications for causal inference. We conclude by addressing eviction's potentially multilevel consequences for policy advocacy and cost-benefit analyses.

Relationship between chronic pain, depressive symptoms, and functional disability in community-dwelling older adults: mediating role of frailty. EINSTEIN-SAO PAULO 2023; 21:eAO0284. [PMID: 38126546 DOI: 10.31744/einstein_journal/2023ao0284] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2022] [Accepted: 06/12/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Borim et al. showed that older adults with chronic pain exhibited more depressive symptoms and frailty components. Depressive symptoms were associated with more frailty components, and those with more depressive symptoms and frailty faced greater limitations in IADL performance. Frailty appears to mediate the pathway from chronic pain to functional impairment Chronic pain is directly associated with depressive symptoms and frailty. Chronic pain is not directly associated with functional disability. Depression and frailty are both directly associated with functional disabilities. Frailty mediates the association between chronic pain and functional disability. Depression; Disability evaluation; Frailty; Frail elderly. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the direct and indirect effects of chronic pain, depressive symptoms, frailty components, and functional disability through a pathway analysis approach in a sample of community-dwelling older adults. METHODS Data of 419 participants were cross-sectionally evaluated for the presence of depressive symptoms (Geriatric Depression Scale [15 items]), physical frailty components (phenotype criteria), chronic pain, and limitations in performing instrumental activities of daily living (functional disability scale by Lawton and Brody). Structural equation modeling via path analysis was used to explore the direct and indirect effects among these four variables. Statistical significance was set at p<0.05. RESULTS Of the total participants, 69.8% were women and 59.3% had low education (1-4 years); the mean age was 80.3±4.6 years. Chronic pain and depressive symptoms were directly related and were associated to frailty. The number of frailty components and depressive symptoms were directly associated with functional disability. Frailty had an indirect effect on the association between chronic pain, depressive symptoms, and functional disabilities. CONCLUSION The pathway from chronic pain and depressive symptoms to functional disability is potentially mediated by the number of frailty components.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a growing disorder affecting thousands of people worldwide, especially in industrialised countries, increasing mortality. Oxidative stress, hyperglycaemia, insulin resistance, inflammation, dysbiosis, abdominal obesity, atherogenic dyslipidaemia and hypertension are important factors linked to MS clusters of different pathologies, such as diabesity, cardiovascular diseases and neurological disorders. All biochemical changes observed in MS, such as dysregulation in the glucose and lipid metabolism, immune response, endothelial cell function and intestinal microbiota, promote pathological bridges between metabolic syndrome, diabesity and cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disorders. This review aims to summarise metabolic syndrome's involvement in diabesity and highlight the link between MS and cardiovascular and neurological diseases. A better understanding of MS could promote a novel strategic approach to reduce MS comorbidities.

Abstract
Several reports have demonstrated that depressive disorder is related to somatic symptoms including gastrointestinal or genitourinary alterations. The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the gastrointestinal or genitourinary alterations associated with the depression are still not fully understood. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the motor activity of gastrointestinal (fundus of stomach and duodenum) and genitourinary tract (bladder) in a stress-based animal model of depression. Adult male mice were submitted to uncontrollable and unpredictable stress (learned helplessness model), controllable stress and non-stressful situations (control). Then, animals were euthanized and the fundus of stomach, duodenum segments or whole bladder were isolated and mounted in a standard organ bath preparation. We evaluated the contractile effects induced by KCl 80 mM for 5 min or carbachol (acetylcholine receptor agonist). The relaxant effects of isoproterenol (β-adrenoceptor agonist) were also checked. Animals submitted to the learned helplessness model developed a helpless (depressive-like behavior) or resilient (does not exhibit depressive-like behavior) phenotype. The contractions induced by carbachol were diminished in fundus of stomach isolated from helpless and resilient animals. The isoproterenol-induced fundus of stomach relaxation was reduced in resilient but not helpless mice. The contractions/relaxation of duodenum segments isolated from helpless or resilient animals were not altered. Both helpless and resilient animals showed an increase in the bladder contractions induced by carbachol while the relaxant effects of isoproterenol were reduced when compared to control. Conversely, mice underwent a controllable stress situation did not exhibit alterations in the fundus of stomach or duodenum contraction/relaxation induced by pharmacological agents although a decrease in the bladder contraction induced by carbachol was found. In conclusion, incontrollable and unpredictable stress and not depressive phenotype (helpless animals) or controllable stress could be related to the alterations in motor activity of the fundus of stomach and bladder.

Abstract
The nursing workforce is the largest discipline in healthcare and has been at the forefront of the COVID-19 pandemic response since the outbreak of COVID-19. However, the impact of COVID-19 on the nursing workforce is largely unknown as is the emotional burden experienced by nurses throughout the different waves of the pandemic. Conventional approaches often use survey question-based instruments to learn nurses' emotions, and may not reflect actual everyday emotions but the beliefs specific to survey questions. Social media has been increasingly used to express people's thoughts and feelings. This paper uses Twitter data to describe the emotional dynamics of registered nurse and student nurse groups residing in New South Wales in Australia during the COVID-19 pandemic. A novel analysis framework that considered emotions, talking topics, the unfolding development of COVID-19, as well as government public health actions and significant events was utilised to detect the emotion dynamics of nurses and student nurses. The results found that the emotional dynamics of registered and student nurses were significantly correlated with the development of COVID-19 at different waves. Both groups also showed various emotional changes parallel to the scale of pandemic waves and corresponding public health responses. The results have potential applications such as to adjust the psychological and/or physical support extended to the nursing workforce. However, this study has several limitations that will be considered in the future study such as not validated in a healthcare professional group, small sample size, and possible bias in tweets.

Abstract
PURPOSE Studies show that patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are more likely than the general population to have psychological disorders such as depression. However, it is less clear how OSA treatment affects this association. This meta-analysis aimed to assess whether or not continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and mandibular advancement devices (MADs) reduce depression symptoms in patients with OSA. METHODS We searched Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library from creating the databases until November 2022. Our analysis included RCTs that examined CPAP and MAD treatment effectiveness for depression in patients with OSA. RESULTS We identified 17 CPAP studies comprising 1,931 patients for inclusion in the meta-analysis. The results of the meta-analysis using a fixed effects model found that CPAP improved depressed mood in patients with OSA relative to controls (SMD = 0.27;95% CI:0.18,0.36), with small heterogeneity among trials (I2 = 8.1% < 50%, P = 0.359). We performed subgroup analyses on three factors: the length of trial follow-up, patient adherence data, and depression assessment scales. The meta-analysis also identified six MAD studies involving 315 patients. According to this analysis, there was no heterogeneity between studies (I2 = 0%, P = 0.748). MADs did not significantly improve depression symptoms compared to controls, indicating a combined effect of SMD = 0.07 (95% CI: - 0.15,0.29), P > 0.05. CONCLUSION The present findings confirm that CPAP may improve depressive symptoms in patients with OSA. However, the review results suggest that MADs have no significant effect on depressive symptoms in patients with OSA, a finding that is different from the results of previous meta-analyses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Risk factors of a chronic course of anxiety and depressive disorders were previously studied using a limited definition of recovery, i.e. remission of the index disorder. However, frequently, other mental disorders are present at follow-up. Thus, the course of anxiety and depressive disorders was represented too rosy and the identified determinants may not apply when using a broader, more realistic definition. Additionally, physical health risk factors have often been ignored. METHODS Data were used from two waves of the Netherlands Mental Health Survey and Incidence Study-2 including 509 respondents with 12-month anxiety disorder (panic disorder, social phobia, agoraphobia or generalized anxiety disorder) or/and major depressive disorder at baseline. Chronic course was defined as (1) presence of index disorder; and (2) presence of any anxiety, mood or substance use disorder (overall course) during the subsequent three years. Regression models were built with sociodemographic, clinical, and lifestyle/physical health indicators. Predictive accuracy was evaluated with area under the curve (AUC). RESULTS Chronic course of the index disorder was present among 24.8% of cases, whereas 38.7% had a chronic overall course. The accuracy of prediction of chronic course of the index disorder was suboptimal (AUC = 0.68) compared to prediction of overall course (AUC = 0.75). The main risk factors were baseline number of mental disorders, neuroticism, childhood abuse, parental psychopathology and alcohol use. Lifestyle and physical health indicators were marginally relevant. CONCLUSION Transdiagnostic risk factors are important in predicting overall course of anxiety and depressive disorders but cannot accurately predict chronic course of the index disorder.

Abstract
Major depressive disorder (MDD) has a high prevalence and is a major contributor to the global burden of disease. This psychiatric disorder results from a complex interaction between environmental and genetic factors. In recent years, the role of the gut microbiota in brain health has received particular attention, and compelling evidence has shown that patients suffering from depression have gut dysbiosis. Several studies have reported that gut dysbiosis-induced inflammation may cause and/or contribute to the development of depression through dysregulation of the gut-brain axis. Indeed, as a consequence of gut dysbiosis, neuroinflammatory alterations caused by microglial activation together with impairments in neuroplasticity may contribute to the development of depressive symptoms. The modulation of the gut microbiota has been recognized as a potential therapeutic strategy for the management of MMD. In this regard, physical exercise has been shown to positively change microbiota composition and diversity, and this can underlie, at least in part, its antidepressant effects. Given this, the present review will explore the relationship between physical exercise, gut microbiota and depression, with an emphasis on the potential of physical exercise as a non-invasive strategy for modulating the gut microbiota and, through this, regulating the gut-brain axis and alleviating MDD-related symptoms.

Abstract
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have a long-lasting effect on both physical and mental health. The aim of this study was to assess the consequences of ACEs and experienced stress on depression and the role of biological disturbances in this relationship in a student population. Potential participants filled out a screening questionnaire; 60 of 126 students met the inclusion criteria and were tested for the severity of stress and depressive symptoms, ACEs, dietary habits, and serum concentrations of biological markers. Depressive symptoms were related to a younger age (p = 0.012), a higher severity of stress (p = 0.001), ACEs (p = 0.007), and lower triglyceride (p = 0.01) and cortisol concentrations (p = 0.01). An inverse relationship between the triglyceride concentration and emotional abuse (R = -0.38) and emotional neglect (R = -0.33) was found. Occludin was positively associated with physical abuse (R = 0.31). Cortisol was inversely associated with emotional abuse (R = -0.35). Emotional neglect was associated with lipopolysaccharide binding protein (R = 0.38) and insulin levels (R = -0.31). The most promising multi-panel of biomarkers for recognizing mood symptoms included triglycerides, tight junction protein 1, and cortisol (cut-offs of ≤ 95.5 mg/dL, 0.72 ng/mL, and 134.63 ng/mL, respectively). This study confirmed the association between ACEs and depressive symptoms and the importance of psychological stress in developing mood disorders. ACEs could affect biological dysregulation. Some of the biological markers could be helpful in early detection of depression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression is a known risk factor for inferior outcomes after orthopedic procedures, but its specific relationship with distal radius fractures remains unknown. This study investigates the relationship between preoperative diagnosed depression and common postoperative complications occurring within the first year after open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) for distal radius fractures. METHODS This retrospective study used Truven MarketScan database and the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes to identify distal radius fracture patients who underwent ORIF in the United States between January 1, 2009, and December 31, 2019. International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes were used to identify patients with and without a diagnosis of preoperative depression. Univariate, multivariate, t test, and χ2 analyses were performed to determine the association between preoperative depression and postoperative complications following a distal radius fracture surgery. RESULTS Of the 75 098 eligible patients, 9.9% had at least one ICD code associated with preoperative depression. Preoperative depression was associated with increased odds for surgical site infection (odds ratio [OR] 1.25, confidence interval [CI] 1.14-1.37), emergency department visits for postoperative pain (OR 1.28, CI 1.15-1.36), hardware complication (OR 1.18, CI 1.07-1.30), removal of hardware within 1 year (OR 1.16, CI 1.09-1.27), wound complication (OR 1.17, CI 1.08-1.27), and 30-day readmission (OR 1.21, CI 1.07-1.31). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative diagnosed depression is associated with increased complications following distal radius fracture surgery. These results can help guide preoperative and postoperative protocols in these higher risk patients. More research is needed to investigate if depression is a modifiable risk factor, as depression treatment could potentially improve postsurgical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The gut microbiota (GM) and brain are strongly associated, which significantly affects neuronal development and disorders. GM-derived metabolites modulate neuronal function and influence many cascades in age-related neurodegenerative disorders (NDDs). Because of the dual role of GM in neuroprotection and neurodegeneration, understanding the balance between beneficial and harmful bacteria is crucial for applying this approach to clinical therapies. AIM OF THE REVIEW This review briefly discusses the role of the gut-brain relationship in promoting brain and cognitive function. Although a healthy gut environment is helpful for brain function, gut dysbiosis can disrupt the brain's environment and create a vicious cycle of degenerative cascades. The ways in which the GM population can affect brain function and the development of neurodegeneration are also discussed. In the treatment and management of NDDs, the beneficial effects of methods targeting GM populations and their derivatives, including probiotics, prebiotics, and fecal microbial transplantation (FMT) are also highlighted. KEY SCIENTIFIC CONCEPT OF THE REVIEW In this review, we aimed to provide a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of the gut microbe-brain relationship and their twin roles in neurodegeneration progression and therapeutic applications. Here, we attempted to highlight the different pathways connecting the brain and gut, together with the role of GM in neuroprotection and neuronal development. Furthermore, potential roles of GM metabolites in the pathogenesis of brain disorders and in strategies for its treatment are also investigated. By analyzing existing in vitro, in vivo and clinical studies, this review attempts to identify new and promising therapeutic strategies for central nervous system (CNS) disorders. As the connection between the gut microbe-brain relationship and responses to NDD treatments is less studied, this review will provide new insights into the global mechanisms of GM modulation in disease progression, and identify potential future perspectives for developing new therapies to treat NDDs.

Abstract
Objective: To analyse the patterns of relationships between depressive symptoms and immunometabolic markers across longitudinal depression status in older people. Methods: A sample of 3349 older adults (55.21% women; initial age: m = 58.44, sd = 5.21) from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing was used. Participants were classified according to their longitudinal depression status: minimal depressive symptoms (n = 2736), depressive episode onset (n = 481), or chronic depression (n = 132). Network analysis was used to study the relationships between depression symptoms (CES-D 8 items), inflammatory (white blood cell, C-reactive protein, fibrinogen) and metabolic biomarkers (metabolic syndrome markers). Results: Network structure remained invariant across groups. The minimal symptom group had higher overall strength than both clinical groups (p < .01). Moreover, significant relationships between symptoms and markers were observed across group-specific networks. C-reactive protein and effort symptom were positively connected in the minimal symptom group but not in the other groups. Loneliness and diastolic blood pressure were positively associated only in the chronic depression group. Finally, metabolic markers were identified as central nodes in the clinical status networks. Conclusion: The network analysis constitutes a useful approach to disentangle pathophysiological relationships that may maintain mental disorders in old age.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The study aims to investigate the relationships among oral hygiene behavior, toothache, and depression among Chinese older adults. METHODS We used data came from the 2018 wave of Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS). The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale was used to evaluate depression. Binary logistic regression was performed to analyze the relationships among oral hygiene behavior, toothache, and depression. RESULTS A total of 12,172 older adults were included in the study, of whom 27.2% had depression. Compared with those who did not brush their teeth daily, those who brushed their teeth at least once daily exhibited lower odds of having depressive symptoms (odds ratio [OR] = 0.86, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.77-0.97 versus OR = 0.81, 95% CI = 0.71-0.93). Compared with those who did not have toothache, those who had toothache over the past 6 months exhibited higher odds of having depression (OR = 1.49, 95% CI = 1.33-1.68). Living arrangement had a significant effect on the correlation between toothache and depression (p = 0.049), who lived alone and had toothache exhibited higher odds of having depressive symptoms. CONCLUSIONS Oral hygiene behavior and toothache are associated with depression. Taking effective measures to maintain a daily toothbrushing pattern and reduce the occurrence of toothache may mitigate the risk of depression among older adults, especially among those living alone. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The present study reports that the potential relationship between different oral hygiene behavior, toothache, and depressive symptoms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Maternal depressive symptoms in pregnancy may affect offspring health through prenatal programming of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. The biological mechanisms that explain the associations between maternal prenatal depressive symptoms and offspring HPA axis regulation are not yet clear. This pre-registered investigation examines whether patterns of maternal depressive symptoms in pregnancy are associated with infant cortisol reactivity and whether this association is mediated by changes in placental corticotropin-releasing hormone (pCRH). METHOD A sample of 174 pregnant women completed assessments in early, mid, and late pregnancy that included standardized measures of depressive symptoms and blood samples for pCRH. Infant cortisol reactivity was assessed at 1 and 6 months of age. RESULTS Greater increases in maternal depressive symptoms in pregnancy were associated with higher cortisol infant cortisol reactivity at 1 and 6 months. Greater increases in maternal depressive symptoms in pregnancy were associated with greater increases in pCRH from early to late pregnancy which in turn were associated with higher infant cortisol reactivity. CONCLUSIONS Increases in maternal depressive symptoms and pCRH over pregnancy may contribute to higher infant cortisol reactivity. These findings help to elucidate the prenatal biopsychosocial processes contributing to offspring HPA axis regulation early in development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atypical antipsychotic (AAP) augmentation is an alternative strategy for patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) who had an inadequate response to antidepressant therapy (ADT). We aimed to compare and rank the efficacy and safety of 4 AAPs in the adjuvant treatment of MDD. METHODS We searched randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published and unpublished from the date of databases and clinical trial websites inception to April 30, 2023. The evidence risk of bias (RoB) and certainty are assessed using the Cochrane bias risk tool and grading of recommendations assessment, development, and evaluation (GRADE) framework, respectively. Using network meta-analysis, we estimated summary risk ratios (RRs) or standardized mean difference (SMD) based on the random effects model. RESULTS 56 eligible studies comprising 11448 participants were included. In terms of primary efficacy outcome, compared with placebo (PBO), all AAPs had significant efficacy (SMD = -0.40; 95% CI, -0.68 to -0.12 for quetiapine (QTP); -0.35, -0.59 to -0.11 for olanzapine (OLA); -0.28, -0.47 to -0.09 for aripiprazole (ARI) and -0.25, -0.42 to -0.07 for brexpiprazole (BRE), respectively). In terms of acceptability, no significant difference was found, either agents versus agents or agents versus PBO. In terms of tolerability, compared with the PBO, QTP (RR = 0.24; 95% CI,0.11-0.53), OLA (0.30,0.10-0.55), ARI (0.39,0.22-0.69), and BRE (0.37,0.18-0.75) were significantly less well tolerated. 8 (14.2%) of 56 trials were assessed as low RoB, 38 (67.9%) trials had moderate RoB, and 10 (17.9%) had high RoB; By the GRADE, the certainty of most evidence was low or very low. CONCLUSION Adjuvant AAPs had significant efficacy compared with PBO, but treatment decisions must be made to balance the risks and benefits.

Abstract
Introduction The impact of diet on mental well-being and gut microorganisms in humans is well recognized. However, research on the connections between food nutrients, gut microbiota, and mental health remains limited. To address this, the present study aimed to assess the effects of a personalized diet, based on individual needs and aligned with the Mediterranean diet principles, on depression symptoms, quality of life, nutritional intake, and gut microbiota changes among older adults living in the community. Methods The intervention involved regular visits from a registered dietitian, who provided tailored dietary recommendations. During the 6-month study, participants completed questionnaires to evaluate their depression levels, quality of life, and dietary habits. Additionally, they provided stool samples for analysis of gut microbiota and metabolites. Results The results demonstrated that the personalized dietary intervention reduced depression symptoms and improved the quality of life among older adults. Furthermore, significant changes in the intake of certain nutrients, such as folate, lutein, zeaxanthin, EPA, and DHA, were observed following the intervention. Moreover, the intervention was associated with increased diversity in the gut microbiome and reduced total short-chain fatty acids, the main metabolites produced by gut microorganisms. The study also revealed correlations between food nutrients, gut microbiota, and mental health parameters. Discussion In conclusion, this research highlights the potential advantages of personalized dietary interventions in managing depression and enhancing overall well-being among older populations. It also sheds light on the role of gut microbiota and its metabolites in these effects. The findings offer valuable insights into the significance of nutrition and gut health for mental well-being in older adults.

Abstract
Depression might manifest itself with a chronic inflammation in different tissues and organs independent of the central nervous system. Psoriasis, Crohn's disease, and fibromyalgia are among these disorders accompanying the depression. The treatment options for these conditions are a combination of the anti-depressants and anti-inflammatory agents. Bupropion has been widely utilized as an anti-depressant. It has been preferred among the patients with Crohn's disease and psoriasis due to its anti-inflammatory role, as well. In this study, we aimed to decipher its target in the immune system. Macrophages were activated in the presence of LPS and increasing concentrations of the bupropion. TNF-α, IL-6, GM-CSF, and IL-12p40 cytokines' production levels were measured by ELISA to compare it to the control groups. These cytokines have been associated with the aggressive inflammation in different tissues. Moreover, p38 and PI3K proteins' phosphorylated levels were measured to examine whether bupropion acts through these pathways or not. Our results suggest that bupropion had anti-inflammatory action on the activated macrophages and its mechanism of action was partially dependent on p38 but independent of PI3K pathways.

Abstract
Purpose Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a mood disorder characterized by persistent spontaneous depression and has a high rate of disability and mortality. There is a complex relationship between MDD and disorders of glucose metabolism, and our study aimed to investigate the prevalence and risk factors for hyperglycemia in patients with MDD who were hospitalized for the first times. Patients and Methods A total of 981 first-time inpatients with MDD were recruited, socio-demographic information, anthropometric data, and biochemical parameters were collected for each participant. The 17-item Hamilton Assessment Scale for Depression (HAMD-17), the 14-item Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA-14), the Positive Syndrome Scale (PSS), and Clinical General Impressions Inventory-Severity of Illness (CGI-SI) scores were used to assess patients' clinical symptoms. Results The prevalence of hyperglycemia was 9.28% among patients with MDD who were hospitalized for the first time. Compared to the non-hyperglycemic subgroup, patients in the hyperglycemic subgroup were found to have more extensive and significant demographic and clinical characteristics, higher levels of metabolism-related parameters, and more severe psychological and psycho-pathological symptoms. Age, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), triglycerides (TG) were risk factors for hyperglycemia in MDD patients, while course of disease was a protective factor. Conclusion The study findings suggest that the prevalence of hyperglycemia is not high in patients with MDD who are hospitalized for the first time. The risk variables for predicting hyperglycemia include age, TSH and TG. The above three factors and course of disease have good combined diagnostic ability for hyperglycemia.
