[PMID: 38187206 PMCID: PMC10770279 DOI: 10.1016/j.shaw.2023.10.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2023] [Revised: 09/12/2023] [Accepted: 10/03/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Depressive symptoms (DS) can erode physical and mental health; social support (SS) is considered a buffer for DS and a promoter for improving coping and recovery abilities. However, there is almost no research on the mediating role of negative coping (NC) in SS and DS, especially among firefighters. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted among firefighters in Chongqing, China, and the valid data of 407 firefighters were collected through questionnaires distributed on the WeChat platform in 2020. Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) 26.0 is used for descriptive statistics and correlation analysis. Structural equation modeling was adopted to analyze the association among SS, NC, and DS. The mediation effect is also evaluated. Results Firefighters' detection rate of DS is 23.3%, and when they receive more SS were less likely to develop DS. NC was positively correlated with DS (β = 0.54, p < 0.001) after controlling for SS. Besides, the results of structural equation modeling showed that NC partially mediates the relationship between SS and DS (standard error = 0.039, indirect effects = 0.109, 95% confidence interval: 0.047-0.200 p < 0.001). Conclusion NC has a partial indirect effect between SS and DS among firefighters. SS could not only affect DS directly but also indirect work on it by affecting NC. This discovery will be a novel and meaningful part of the research on the firefighter population.

Abstract
Acupuncture is a viable treatment option for major depressive disorder (MDD). However, its effectiveness varies among patients. This study aimed to develop a model to predict the efficacy of acupuncture therapy for MDD using machine learning and baseline clinical variables. A total of 124 patients with MDD from five research centers were included in our machine learning study. All patients underwent acupuncture treatment for 6 weeks and the efficacy of the treatment was evaluated using the Hamilton Depression Scale-17 (HAMD-17). The max-relevance and min-redundancy (mRMR) algorithm and Pearson correlation analysis were used for selecting 11 significant features from 26 baseline clinical variables for model training. We compared the performance of five machine learning models, including logistic regression, support vector machine, K-nearest neighbor, random forest, and XgBoost, in predicting the effect of acupuncture in relieving major depression. Among the five models, XgBoost performed the best with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.835, an accuracy of 0.730, a sensitivity of 0.670, a specificity of 0.774, and an F1 score of 0.751. The key predictive variables identified were anxiety score in the self-rating depression scale (SDS), the traditional Chinese medicine syndrome of deficiency in both heart and spleen, and body mass index (BMI). The study demonstrates that the developed model can help physicians predict the patients who will benefit from acupuncture treatment, which is of positive significance for improving the clinical efficacy of acupuncture on MDD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to analyze the basic characteristics and mental health status of adult female callers to the psychological assistance helpline in Hangzhou City, in order to provide targeted services for effectively intervening in the psychological crises of this group. METHODS Data from adult female callers to a helpline in Hangzhou City were collected between 2019 and 2022, encompassing demographic information and discussed issues. The data were analyzed according to age groups, marital status, and call times. The mental health status of the adult female population was measured by two indicators-mood status and suicide risk. RESULTS The study included 15,580 adult female callers. Among them, 52.2% were aged 30 and below, 62.1% were unmarried, and 42.6% were from other provinces. The primary types of calls were related to mental health (56.5%), romantic relationships (11%), and marriage/family issues (13%). Adults aged 30 and below had more consultations about romantic relationships, work, and study-related issues compared to those over 30. Those over 30 sought more advice on marriage/family and child education. Younger callers displayed higher levels of depression and suicide risk compared to older callers. Unmarried callers had a higher proportion of moderate depression and suicide risk than married callers. Higher education levels were associated with lower depression levels (OR = 0.631,95%CI:0.439-0.906, P = 0.013) and high-risk proportions (OR = 0.328,95%CI:0.147-0.733, P = 0.007). Late evening callers had a higher high-risk proportion (OR = 5.326,95%CI:2.633-10.775, P < 0.001), and employed individuals had lower high-risk proportions compared to unemployed callers (OR = 0.536,95%CI:0.320-0.897, P = 0.018). CONCLUSION The mental health status of female callers aged 30 and below, unemployed individuals, and those calling in the latter part of the night have relatively poorer mental health and are more likely to be at risk for suicide, which needs to be taken seriously, and more professional and targeted intervention services need to be enhanced in the hotline.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few studies have investigated the relative factors of thyroid dysfunction in major depressive disorder (MDD) patients with Metabolic syndrome (MetS). This study aimed to explore the prevalence and related factors associated with thyroid dysfunction in drug-naïve (FEDN) MDD patients with MetS. METHODS 1718 FEDN MDD patients were recruited and their demographic data, clinical data were collected. Various biochemical indicators including fasting blood glucose (FBG), blood lipids and thyroid hormones were measured. The 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD-17), 14-item Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA-14) and positive subscale of the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) were used to assess clinical symptoms. RESULTS Among FEDN MDD patients, MetS was an independent risk factor for TSH abnormality (P < 0.001, Adjusted OR = 3.77, 95%CI: 2.82-5.05). In patients with MetS, those with TSH abnormality had significantly longer duration of illness, higher HAMD, HAMA, and PANSS positive subscale scores, higher levels of TC, LDL-C, blood glucose, pressure, lower levels of HDL-C, and a higher probability of suicide attempt (all P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS MetS is significantly associated with thyroid dysfunction in patients with FEDN MDD. Related factors for thyroid dysfunction include a number of clinical indicators and psychiatric symptoms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression, the most common mental illness worldwide, has been studied and air pollution has been found to increase the risk of depression hospitalization, but research results on ozone (O3) remain limited. In this context, we investigated the relationship between short-term O3 exposure and depression-related hospital admissions (HAs). METHODS The 10,459 records of HAs for depression from medical institutions across in 9 cities, China, were collected between 1 January 2017, and 31 December 2018. Air pollutants and meteorological data was obtained from provincial ecological environment monitoring stations in the study area. Conditional Poisson regression was employed to estimate the association between O3 and hospitalizations for depression, with data stratification by sex, age, weather, and economic level. RESULTS Short-term O3 exposure was positively associated with the number of depression-related hospitalizations (Relative risk: 1.04 [95% CI: 1.02, 1.05]). O3 had a significant effect on the risk of depression-related hospitalizations on warm days (P = 0.021, Relative risk: 1.05 [1.03, 1.08]). The high gross domestic product group was more likely to be affected by O3 exposure-associated depression-related hospitalizations (P = 0.005, Relative risk: 1.03 [1.01, 1.05]). CONCLUSIONS Short-term changes to O3 exposure may increase the risk of depression related hospitalizations, especially on warm days.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression is increasingly recognized as a worldwide serious, public health concern. A better understanding of depression is important for advancing its management and learning the difference between major depressive disorder (MDD) and dysthymia. Our aim is to conduct a concurrent analysis of the trends of both MDD and dysthymia in China. METHODS The data on depression from 1990 to 2019 were collected from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 (GBD 2019). To determine the average annual percent changes (AAPC) and relative risks (RRs), joinpoint regression and the age-period-cohort models were employed, respectively. RESULTS The incidence number of MDD and dysthymia continuously increased in China from 1990 to 2019, however, the age-standardized rates (ASR) had a decreasing trend in both men and women. The results from joinpoint regression showed that a declining trend was presented in young people (< 50 years) but an increased trend in the elderly (≥ 50 years) both in men and women, during 1990-2019. Age is the most influential factor for MDD and dysthymia. Age RRs for MDD incidence had an overall increasing trend with age. Period RR in MDD presented a U-shaped pattern, while Cohort RRs presented an inverted U-shaped pattern. On the other hand, RRs in dysthymia for period and cohort effects had no statistical significance, only the age effect presented an inverted U-shaped pattern. CONCLUSIONS The disparities in trends observed between MDD and dysthymia during the period of 1990-2019 indicated the significance of distinguishing between these two disorders. The age, period and cohort effects all had a greater impact on MDD than on dysthymia, and age effects presented different influential patterns in these two. To alleviate the burden of depressive disorders in China, proactive measures need to be implemented, with particular attention to the elderly population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The majority of patients with perinatal depression (PND) in China do not receive adequate treatment. As forming a therapeutic alliance with patients is crucial for depression treatment, shared decision-making (SDM) shows promise in promoting patients' uptake of evidence-based mental health services, but its impact on patient outcomes and implementation in real-world maternal care remain uncertain. Therefore, this study aims to develop and evaluate an interprofessional shared decision-making (IP-SDM) model for PND to enhance maternal mental health services. METHODS This study contains four research phases: feasibility testing (Phase 1), toolkit development (Phase 2), usability evaluation (Phase 3), and effectiveness evaluation (Phase 4). During the development stage, focus group interviews will be conducted with expectant and new mothers, as well as maternal care providers for feasibility testing. A toolkit, including a patient decision aid along with its user guide and training materials, will be developed based on the findings of Phase 1 and syntheses of up-to-date evidence and appraised by the Delphi method. Additionally, a cognitive task analysis will be used for assessing the usability of the toolkit. During the evaluation stage, a prospective randomized controlled trial embedded in a mixed methods design will be used to evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the IP-SDM care model. The study targets to recruit 410 expectant and new mothers who screen positive for depression. They will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group in a 1:1 ratio. Participants in the intervention group will receive decision aid, decision coaching, and clinical consultation, in addition to usual services, while the control group will receive usual services. The primary outcome is the quality of decision-making process, and the secondary outcomes include SDM, mental health service utilization and costs, depressive symptoms, and health-related quality of life. In-depth interviews will be used to explore the facilitating and hindering factors of SDM. DISCUSSION This study will develop an IP-SDM care model for PND that can be implemented in maternal care settings in China. This study will contribute to the understanding of how SDM impacts mental health outcomes and facilitate the integration of mental health services into maternal care.

Abstract
The role of social determinants of health (SDoH) in gender differences in depression remains unclear among Chinese adults. We aimed to explore the association between SDoH and depression and investigate their role in explaining gender differences in depression. This prospective longitudinal cohort study used four wave surveys (2012, 2016, 2018, and 2020) of the China Family Panel Study (CFPS). Fourteen SDoH variables were assessed, and depression was measured using the 8-item short version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. The Cox proportional hazards regression and multiple mediation analysis were performed to estimate the effect sizes. The longitudinal sample included 18,874 participants aged 18-92 years (51.4 % males and 48.6 % females). Women had higher risk of depression than men. Unfavorable SDoH were associated with higher risk of depression. After including multiple SDoH in mediation analysis, multiple SDoH mediated 15.7 % of the total effect of gender on depression. In sum, SDoH significantly influenced depression, and specific factors explained gender differences in depression. Supporting women in education, employment, and community involvement could help reduce gender differences in depression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dynamic interpersonal therapy (DIT) is a brief, structured psychodynamic psychotherapy with demonstrated efficacy in treating major depressive disorder (MDD). The aim of the study was to determine whether DIT is an acceptable and efficacious treatment for MDD patients in China. METHOD Patients were randomized to 16-week treatments with either DIT plus antidepressant medication (DIT + ADM; n = 66), general supportive therapy plus antidepressant medication (GST + ADM; n = 75) or antidepressant medication alone (ADM; n = 70). The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) administered by blind raters was the primary efficacy measure. Assessments were completed during the acute 16-week treatment and up to 12-month posttreatment. RESULTS The group × time interaction was significant for the primary outcome HAMD (F = 2.900, df1 = 10, df2 = 774.72, p = 0.001) in the acute treatment phase. Pairwise comparisons showed a benefit of DIT + ADM over ADM at weeks 12 [least-squares (LS) mean difference = -3.161, p = 0.007] and 16 (LS mean difference = -3.237, p = 0.004). Because of the unexpected high attrition during the posttreatment follow-up phase, analyses of follow-up data were considered exploratory. Differences between DIT + ADM and ADM remained significant at the 1-, 6-, and 12-month follow-up (ps range from 0.001 to 0.027). DIT + ADM had no advantage over GST + ADM during the acute treatment phase. However, at the 12-month follow-up, patients who received DIT remained less depressed. CONCLUSIONS Acute treatment with DIT or GST in combination with ADM was similarly efficacious in reducing depressive symptoms and yielded a better outcome than ADM alone. DIT may provide MDD patients with long-term benefits in symptom improvement but results must be viewed with caution.

Abstract
Understanding the intention of community residents to seek help from mental health professionals (MHPs) is essential in targeting interventions that promote the prevention and treatment of depression. This study aimed to investigate the current status of Chinese community populations' depression help-seeking intentions from MHPs and explore factors influencing the intentions. Data were used from a survey conducted in a city in central China (n = 919 aged 38.68 ± 17.34, 72.1% female). Help-seeking intentions, help-seeking attitude, depression stigma, family function and depressive symptoms were measured. The total mean score on the intent to seek help from MHPs was 11.01 ± 7.78 and most of respondents were unwilling to seek professional help. Multiple linear regression showed that participants who were students, held a positive help-seeking attitude and had low personal stigma were more likely to have the intention to seek help from MHPs. It is necessary to utilize effective interventions to improve community residents' intention to seek professional help. These include promoting the importance of seeking professional assistance, optimizing the quality of mental health services and altering residents' prejudice to seeking professional help.

J Affect Disord 2023; 340:369-378. [PMID: 37499917 DOI: 10.1016/j.jad.2023.07.107] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2023] [Revised: 07/14/2023] [Accepted: 07/23/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Researchers have studied sex differences in typical depressive and anxiety symptoms and their cooccurrence. The World Health Organization (WHO) proposed a mental health promotion objective that suggests considering protective health-promoting factors when developing strategies for preventing mental disorders between sexes. From a network perspective, psychopathology is viewed as a result of interacting symptoms and influential factors. This study adopted network approach to investigate sex differences in health-promoting lifestyles (HPL) and the cooccurrence symptoms of communities in Shanghai. The aim is to provide health-promoting suggestions on better enhancing the life quality for community members. METHODS Depression, anxiety symptoms, and HPL were assessed with PHQ-9, GAD-7 and HPLP-II scales in 2420 adults (1411 females). Networks were constructed by Gaussian Graphical Models and the networks of two sexes using the Network Comparison Test. RESULTS Females scored significantly higher on PHQ-9 (p < 0.001) and GAD-7 (p < 0.001), and no differences were found between the two sexes in HPL scores. Restlessness and low energy yielded the highest strength centrality in the female network, while suicide ideation and restlessness were central in male network. Regarding protective HPL, physical activity and stress management were identified as the central mental health-promoting behaviours in female and male network, respectively. However, stress management was positively related to suicide ideation in the male network. CONCLUSION Communities should be aware of suicide ideation in males because of its high relationships with other symptoms and also provide stress management courses, especially for males. As for women, chronic energy deficiency deserves more attention for its high probability of cooccurrence with other symptoms in the network. Also, advocating physical activities may be particularly beneficial for the overall mental health among women. Future study should collect time-series data and analyze intraindividual networks to specify personalized health promoting strategies for each individual.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Depression is becoming more prevalent in older adults. Music therapy appears to have a positive effect on older adults with depression, but the effects of specific interventions (such as active music therapy and passive music therapy) are not fully known. This review aims to evaluate the therapeutic effects of music therapy and the effects of specific interventions on older adults with depression. METHODS A systematic search was conducted from inception to June 2022, and an updated search was conducted in July 2023 on PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, VIP, Wanfang Data, CNKI, and CBM. This review solely targeted randomized controlled trials. Two reviewers independently reviewed the retrieved studies. The risk of bias was evaluated using the Cochrane risk of bias assessment tool 2.0, and statistical analysis was made using the RevMan 5.4 software. RESULTS Twenty-one studies with a total of 1777 participants were included. Music therapy was beneficial in reducing depression, anxiety, and blood pressure and increasing cognitive ability (p < 0.05). Subgroup analysis showed that passive music therapy, single intervention for 60 min, individual intervention format, and total duration of 20 h had a more significant effect on depressive symptoms in older adults. CONCLUSION Music therapy reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety, improves blood pressure, and enhances cognitive ability in older adults with depression. Further rigorously designed studies are warranted to confirm the effects of music therapy on older adults with depression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many studies have shown that having noncommunicable chronic diseases (NCDs) is strongly associated with depressive symptoms in elderly people; however, the mechanisms of this association are not fully understood. This study aims to investigate whether perceived social support (PSS) mediates the effect of NCDs on depressive symptoms and whether these relationships differ depending on where middle-aged and elderly people live. METHODS The study population was from the psychology and behavior investigation of Chinese residents (PBICR). A total of 8732 people aged 45 and older were included in the hypothetical modulated model. Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS) and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) were used to evaluate PSS and depressive symptoms. RESULTS NCDs were positively related to depressive symptoms (β = 0.81, p < 0.01) and indirectly mediated through PSS (β = 0.08). Residency moderated the relationship between NCDs and PSS (β = -0.16, p < 0.01) and between NCDs and depressive symptoms (β = 0.29, p < 0.01). Specifically, the effect of NCDs on PSS and depressive symptoms was greater in rural middle-aged and older adults. CONCLUSIONS NCDs raise the risk of depressive symptoms in middle-aged and older Chinese, with PSS playing a partially protective role. In addition, the area of residence moderated the connection between the number of NCDs and PSS, NCDs, and depressive symptoms in middle-aged and older adults.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the association between changes in depressive symptoms and sarcopenia by repeated measures of depressive symptoms at a follow-up visit every 2 years. DESIGN Cross-sectional design and longitudinal design. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS We conducted a cross-sectional and longitudinal study using data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, which is a representative national survey. A total of 12,287 participants were included in Wave 1 (2011-2012) for the cross-sectional analysis, followed by a total of 5285 participants in Wave 2 (2013-2014) and Wave 3 (2015-2016) for the longitudinal analysis based on the cross-sectional analysis. METHODS Depressive symptoms were measured by the 10-item Center for the Epidemiological Studies of Depression Short Form. Sarcopenia was defined according to the Asian Sarcopenia Working Group criteria (AWGS 2019). Changes in depressive symptoms in Wave 1 and Wave 2 were used as exposure, and sarcopenia in Wave 3 was used as outcome. Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to test the relationship between changes in depressive symptoms and sarcopenia. RESULTS In cross-sectional analysis, depression was significantly associated with sarcopenia (odds ratio, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.10-1.48). In subsequent longitudinal analyses, a total of 174 sarcopenia events occurred, and those with increased depressive symptoms and persistent depressive symptoms were at higher risk for sarcopenia than those without depressive symptoms, with multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios of 1.65 (95% CI, 1.00-2.73) and 1.68 (95% CI, 1.06-2.68), respectively. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS People with increased depressive symptoms and persistent depressive symptoms may have a higher risk of developing sarcopenia over time. In the future, more research is needed to confirm the mechanism by which long-term changes in depression contribute to the risk of sarcopenia, and to propose preventive measures accordingly.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited research has simultaneously examined the link between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), short sleep duration, and depressive symptoms among middle-aged or older Chinese adults. This study aims to investigate the association between ACEs and later-life depressive symptoms, and to examine the mediating role of short sleep duration (<6 h/night) in this association. METHODS Data of 11,452 participants aged ≥45 years were obtained from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. Information on ACEs, depressive symptoms, and sleep duration were reported via questionnaires. The mediating effect of short sleep duration in the association between ACEs and depressive symptoms was examined by Baron and Kenny's causal steps method and Karlson/Holm/Breen (KHB) method. RESULTS Compared to non-exposed group, exposure to ACEs was significantly associated with increased odds of depressive symptoms in a dose-response pattern. The odds ratio of depressive symptoms increased from 1.27 (95 % CI: 1.11-1.46) for one ACE to 3.38 (95 % CI: 2.92-3.90) for ≥4 ACEs. The KHB method identified significant mediating role of short sleep duration in the association between experiencing three or more ACEs and depressive symptoms, with the proportional mediation estimated at 8.96 % and 8.85 % for the groups with 3 ACEs and ≥4 ACEs, respectively. The results were consistent across genders and gender did not moderate these associations. LIMITATIONS The cross-sectional design limited the ability to make causal inference. CONCLUSIONS ACEs were positively associated with depressive symptoms, and short sleep duration partially mediated this association. Promoting optimal sleep duration among ACE-exposed individuals might improve their mental health.

Abstract
Depression and sleep disturbances are highly prevalent health problems that have been suggested to be associated with vitamin D deficiency. This study investigated whether sleep disturbances affect the association between vitamin D and depressive symptoms. A total of 425 patients with depression were included in this study. Spearman correlation coefficients were chosen to assess the relation between vitamin D concentrations and depressive symptomatology (according to the PHQ-9 and HAMD-17 scores). The GLM Mediation Model in the Medmod module for data analysis in Jamovi 2.2.5 was used to analyze the mediation models for sleep disturbances. Vitamin D concentrations were significantly correlated with PHQ-9 and HAMD-17 scale scores. In addition, item 3 was suggested to have a mediating effect between vitamin D and depressive symptoms in the mediating model of PHQ-9, and item 4 was suggested to have a mediating effect between vitamin D and depressive symptoms in the mediating model of HAMD-17. Sleep disturbances (especially difficulty falling asleep) are mediators between vitamin D and depressive symptoms, suggesting that increasing vitamin D levels at the right time to regulate sleep disturbances may improve depression symptoms, yet further research is necessary.

Abstract
Introduction Previous research has revealed a bidirectional relationship between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and major depressive disorder (MDD). A very limited proportion of patients with T2DM comorbid MDD received adequate psychiatric intervention. This study investigated the help-seeking behaviors of patients with T2DM comorbid with MDD during one-year follow-up. Methods At a medical center in China, a cohort of outpatients with T2DM were assessed and diagnosed for comorbid depression at baseline and after one year. The Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview was used to diagnose MDD, while The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and The Hamilton Depression Scale 17-item (HAMD-17) were used for depression assessment. Mental health help-seeking behaviors of patients during follow-up period were also evaluated. Results Out of the 203 patients with T2DM at baseline, 114 (56.2%) completed the follow-up. The prevalence of MDD in participants with T2DM was 12.8% at baseline and 22.8% at follow-up. Patients who completed the follow-up had a lower baseline PHQ-9 score (test statistic -2.068, p=0.039), HAMD-17 score (test statistic -2.285, p=0.022) than those who did not complete the follow-up. A total of 26 patients had comorbid MDD during the follow-up period, among which 8 patients (30.8%) voluntarily visited psychiatric clinics, while others did not seek assistance. The level of HbA1c at follow-up was higher in patients who sought help than in those who did not (8.1 ± 1.8% vs. 7.0 ± 0.7%), although the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion Voluntary psychiatric help-seeking for Chinese patients with comorbid T2DM and MDD is uncommon. It is crucial to increase awareness of depression among patients and healthcare professionals alike.

The study included general demographic characteristics, postpartum depression literacy scale, and family caring index scale. Latent profile analysis was performed to identify the categories of maternal postpartum depression literacy, and multiple disordered logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of different categories. Results Maternal postpartum depression literacy was divided into three categories: low literacy (41.0 %), moderate literacy (32.4 %), and high literacy (26.6 %). The results showed that work status, education level, whether the pregnancy was planned, whether or not they had participated in mental health-related courses, and family functioning status were factors influencing the category of maternal postpartum depression literacy (P < 0.05). Conclusion There was heterogeneity in postpartum depression literacy among mothers. Medical staff should implement targeted interventions according to potential category characteristics and influencing factors to improve the level of postpartum depression literacy.

Abstract
PURPOSE With the escalating social pressures, there has been a continuous rise in the prevalence of depression among the population, leading to substantial healthcare burdens. Moreover, conventional pharmacological interventions still exhibit certain limitations. Therefore, the primary objective of this study is to systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy of probiotics in the treatment of depression. METHODS Randomized controlled trials of probiotics in treating depressive symptoms were retrieved from Pubmed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Wan Fang database, and CNKI between the establishment of the database and March 2022. The primary outcome was Beck's depression rating scale (BDI) scores, while the secondary outcomes were depression scores on the DASS-21 scale, biochemical indicators (IL-6, NO, and TNF-α levels), and adverse events. In addition, Revman 5.3 was used for Meta-analysis and quality evaluation, and Stata 17 was used for the Egger test and Begg's test. A total of 776 patients, including 397 and 379 patients in the experimental and control groups, respectively, were included. RESULTS The total BDI score of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group (MD = - 1.98, 95%CI - 3.14 to - 0.82), and the score of DASS (MD = 0.90, 95%CI - 1.17 to 2.98), the IL-6 level (SMD = - 0.55, 95%CI - 0.88 to - 0.23), the NO level (MD = 5.27, 95% CI 2.51 to 8.03), and the TNF-α level (SMD = 0.19, 95% CI - 0.25 to 0.63). CONCLUSION The findings substantiate the therapeutic potential of probiotics in mitigating depressive symptoms by significantly reducing Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI) scores and alleviating the overall manifestation of depression.

Abstract
Recently, depression research has received considerable attention and there is an urgent need for objective and validated methods to detect depression. Depression detection based on facial expressions may be a promising adjunct to depression detection due to its non-contact nature. Stimulated facial expressions may contain more information that is useful in detecting depression than natural facial expressions. To explore facial cues in healthy controls and depressed patients in response to different emotional stimuli, facial expressions of 62 subjects were collected while watching video stimuli, and a local face reorganization method for depression detection is proposed. The method extracts the local phase pattern features, facial action unit (AU) features and head motion features of a local face reconstructed according to facial proportions, and then fed into the classifier for classification. The classification accuracy was 76.25%, with a recall of 80.44% and a specificity of 83.21%. The results demonstrated that the negative video stimuli in the single-attribute stimulus analysis were more effective in eliciting changes in facial expressions in both healthy controls and depressed patients. Fusion of facial features under both neutral and negative stimuli was found to be useful in discriminating between healthy controls and depressed individuals. The Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC) showed that changes in the emotional stimulus paradigm were more strongly correlated with changes in subjects' facial AU when exposed to negative stimuli compared to stimuli of other attributes. These results demonstrate the feasibility of our proposed method and provide a framework for future work in assisting diagnosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to systematically review the prevalence and factors associated with depression and anxiety in living liver donors after liver transplantation. METHODS Five English language electronic databases and four Chinese language electronic databases were searched from inception to February 2023. Two investigators independently extracted the data and assessed the study quality. The pooled prevalence was calculated using STATA software (version 14.0). We performed a narrative review to summarize the factors associated with depression and anxiety in living liver donors after liver transplantation. The protocol of this study was registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) database, registration number: CRD42021290071. RESULTS This study included 39 articles involving 18,577 participants. The pooled prevalence was 6.3% [95% confidence interval (CI) (4.1-8.9%)] for depression in living liver donors, and 10.0% [95% CI (4.0-18.1%)] for anxiety. Prevalence of clinically significant depressive or anxiety symptoms was higher (15.7% and 17.4%) compared with disorders (2.7% and 2.2%). The prevalence of depression and anxiety was highest within 3 months post-donation. Specifically, female donors, serious postoperative complications, and recipients' poor health/death have been reported as factors having a negative influence on depression and anxiety. CONCLUSIONS Collected evidence showed that the overall prevalence of depression or anxiety of living liver donors was high. Therefore, early detection and timely treatment of psychological disorders are crucial to promote positive psychiatric health outcomes and ensure the quality of life of living liver donors.

Sleep time and quality associated with depression and social anxiety among children and adolescents aged 6-18 years, stratified by body composition. J Affect Disord 2023; 338:321-328. [PMID: 37343629 DOI: 10.1016/j.jad.2023.06.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2022] [Revised: 05/27/2023] [Accepted: 06/16/2023] [Indexed: 06/23/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sleep has been suggested as risk factors for depression and social anxiety in children and adolescents, but little is known about the role of individual body composition on these association. METHOD We conducted a cross-sectional survey of children and adolescents aged 6-18 years in Beijing, China, in 2020, and assessed body composition by using iDXA dual-energy X-ray bone densitometer. Generalized liner model (GLM) and restricted cubic spline (RCS) were employed to analyze the associations between sleep and depression and social anxiety with different body composition. The attributable fraction (AFs) to assess the benefits of improvements of sleep in reducing depression and social anxiety odds. RESULTS Depression and social anxiety accounted for 13.1 % and 30.3 % of the study population. Sleep time was significantly associated with depression (HR = 2.35[1.58, 3.50]), and social anxiety (HR = 1.65[1.24, 2.20]); and sleep quality was significantly associated with depression (HR = 7.27[4.87, 10.84]), and social anxiety (HR = 2.54 [1.99, 3.25]) among children and adolescents. The exposure to both insufficient sleep time and poor sleep quality were associated with a higher odd of depression and social anxiety, but lower BF%, higher muscle rate and FFM/FM alleviated the adverse effects of sleep quality on depression and social anxiety. LIMITATIONS Conclusions about causality remain speculative because of the cross-sectional design. CONCLUSION Insufficient sleep time, poor sleep quality, high BF%, low muscle rate and FFM/FM can jointly associate with anxiety and depression. This study provides new evidence support for accurate prevention and control of mental diseases in children and adolescents with different body types.

Childhood trauma and social support affect symptom profiles through cortical thickness abnormalities in major depressive disorder: A structural equation modeling analysis. Asian J Psychiatr 2023; 88:103744.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Childhood trauma, low social support, and alexithymia are recognized as risk factors for major depressive disorder (MDD). However, the mechanisms of risk factors, symptoms, and corresponding structural brain abnormalities in MDD are not fully understood. Structural equation modeling (SEM) has advantages in studying multivariate interrelationships. We aim to illustrate their relationships using SEM. METHODS 313 MDD patients (213 female; mean age 42.49 years) underwent magnetic resonance imaging and completed assessments. We integrated childhood trauma, alexithymia, social support, anhedonia, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation and cortical thickness into a multivariate SEM. RESULTS We first established the risk factors-clinical phenotype SEM with an adequate fit. Cortical thickness results show a negative correlation of childhood trauma with the left middle temporal gyrus (MTG) (p = 0.012), and social support was negatively correlated with the left posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) (p < 0.001). The final good fit SEM (χ2 = 32.92, df = 21, χ2/df = 1.57, CFI = 0.962, GFI = 0.978, RMSEA = 0.043) suggested two pathways, with left PCC thickness mediating the relationship between social support and suicidal ideation, and left MTG thickness mediating between childhood trauma and anhedonia/anxiety. CONCLUSION Our findings provide evidence for the impact of risk factor variables on the brain structure and clinical phenotype of MDD patients. Insufficient social support and childhood trauma might lead to corresponding cortical abnormalities in PCC and MTG, affecting the patient's mood and suicidal ideation. Future interventions should aim at these nodes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many people living with major depressive disorder (MDD) in China do not receive treatment owing to a lack of mental health services, along with significant stigma toward mental illness. Internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) has been proposed to increase access to mental health care for people with MDD. OBJECTIVE The aims of this study were to (1) evaluate the efficacy of ICBT for depressive symptoms in patients with MDD; (2) evaluate the effect of ICBT on anxiety symptoms, nonspecific psychological distress, general self-efficacy, depression stigma, social function, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL); and (3) explore the acceptability of and satisfaction with the ICBT program among participants. METHODS Patients with MDD were enrolled and randomized to the ICBT group or the waiting-list control (WLC) group. The ICBT group received ICBT delivered through a WeChat mini-program with general support by nonspecialists. Participants in the 2 groups were self-evaluated online at baseline and posttreatment for changes in the primary outcome (ie, depressive symptoms) and secondary outcomes (ie, anxiety symptoms, nonspecific psychological distress, general self-efficacy, depression stigma, social functional impairment, and HRQoL). Changes in outcomes were measured by changes in overall scores on respective scales, and response and remission rates were calculated based on depressive symptoms. The acceptability of and satisfaction with the ICBT program were measured by treatment adherence and participants' feelings (ie, modules seriously completed, perceived benefit, and satisfaction). RESULTS We included 40 patients who were randomly assigned to the ICBT group and 44 who were assigned to the WLC group. Compared with the WLC group, the ICBT group had fewer depressive symptoms, fewer anxiety symptoms, less nonspecific psychological distress, and greater general self-efficacy. Moreover, the ICBT group had higher response (18/31, 58%) and remission rates (17/31, 55%). The adherence rate in the ICBT group was 78% (31/40), and the majority of participants who completed all ICBT modules were satisfied with the ICBT program. CONCLUSIONS ICBT demonstrated greater improvements in depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, nonspecific psychological distress, and general self-efficacy among selected patients with MDD in comparison with the findings in waiting-list controls. The ICBT program in this study had good acceptability and satisfaction among participants. TRIAL REGISTRATION Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2100046425); https://tinyurl.com/bdcrj4zv.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depressive symptoms, which are continuously changing, are an essential manifestation of depression and can increase the risk of mental disorders and other diseases. Because the causes and cures for depression have not yet been identified, finding the characteristics, and risk factors of depressive symptom trajectories can help us identify at-risk populations early and reduce the related public disease burden. AIMS Herein we aimed to figure out the specific manifestations of depressive symptom trajectories among Chinese adults, explore the risk profiles of trajectory groups with higher depression burdens, and test the longitudinal associations between blood biomarkers with depressive symptoms. METHODS Trajectories of participants' depressive symptoms measured by the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scores were modeled with growth mixture models from 2011 to 2018. Multinomial logistic models tested associations of baseline covariates with trajectories. Generalized estimating equations were used to explore the longitudinal associations between blood data and depressive symptoms in two waves from 2011 to 2015. RESULTS Among the sample of 5,641 individuals aged 40 or over, four heterogeneous depressive symptom trajectories were defined: stable-low, high-decrease, stable-high, and low-increase. At baseline, demographic factors and health statuses such as gender, education, income, and self-reported health status were associated with trajectories. A significant association was found between high-density lipoprotein and depressive symptoms. CONCLUSIONS These findings provide clues for predicting and identifying adults with elevated depression burdens in middle and late life and may facilitate the development of targeted preventive strategies for this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is growing evidence that the internet has beneficial effects on the mental health of middle-aged and older people (≥45 years), but the evidence is inconclusive, and the underlying mechanisms are less known. OBJECTIVE This study aims to explore the relationship between multidimensional (devices, frequency, and purpose) internet use and depression in middle-aged and elderly Chinese, as well as the mediating effect of social participation. Moreover, this study will explore the moderating effect of the regional informatization development level (RIDL) on the relationships between individual internet use, social participation, and depression. METHODS Data on 17,676 participants aged 45 years or older were obtained from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) 2018 data set. The 10-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D-10) was used to identify the presence of depression. Logistic regression was used to explore the relationship between each dimension of internet use and depression. Multiple linear regression was used to explore the mediating effect of social participation and the moderating effect of the RIDL. RESULTS The results showed that 28.33% (5008/17,676) of the total population had depression. In terms of regional subgroups, respondents living in the western region exhibited the highest proportion of depression (2041/5884, 34.69%). Internet use was negatively associated with depression (odds ratio 0.613, 95% CI 0.542-0.692; P<.001). Various dimensions of internet use positively contributed to individual social participation and reduced individual depression (devices: β=-.170, 95% CI -0.209 to -0.127; frequency: β=-.065, 95% CI -0.081 to -0.047; and purpose: β=-.043, 95% CI -0.053 to -0.031). In addition, the RIDL weakened the relationship between individual-level internet use and social participation (internet use: F74.12,9.82=7.55, P<.001; devices: F51.65/9.88=5.23, P=.005; frequency: F66.74/10.08=6.62, P=.001; and purpose: F66.52/9.78=6.80, P=.001), and negatively moderated the relationship between the frequency of internet use and depression (frequency: F662.67/188.79=3.51, P=.03). CONCLUSIONS This study found that different dimensions of internet use are associated with lower levels of depression. Social participation partially mediates the association between multidimensional internet use and depression in the eastern, central, and western regions, respectively. Additionally, the RIDL helps individuals further their internet use and social participation, reducing the impact of depression. However, this effect weakens sequentially from the western region to the central region and then to the eastern region.

Abstract
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a chronic, generally episodic and debilitating disease that affects an estimated 300 million people worldwide, but its pathogenesis is poorly understood. The heritability estimate of MDD is 30-40%, suggesting that genetics alone do not account for most of the risk of major depression. Another factor known to associate with MDD involves environmental stressors such as childhood adversity and recent life stress. Recent studies have emerged to show that the biological impact of environmental factors in MDD and other stress-related disorders is mediated by a variety of epigenetic modifications. These epigenetic modification alterations contribute to abnormal neuroendocrine responses, neuroplasticity impairment, neurotransmission and neuroglia dysfunction, which are involved in the pathophysiology of MDD. Furthermore, epigenetic marks have been associated with the diagnosis and treatment of MDD. The evaluation of epigenetic modifications holds promise for further understanding of the heterogeneous etiology and complex phenotypes of MDD, and may identify new therapeutic targets. Here, we review preclinical and clinical epigenetic findings, including DNA methylation, histone modification, noncoding RNA, RNA modification, and chromatin remodeling factor in MDD. In addition, we elaborate on the contribution of these epigenetic mechanisms to the pathological trait variability in depression and discuss how such mechanisms can be exploited for therapeutic purposes.

Abstract
Background Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a frequent and prominent phenomenon in major depressive disorder (MDD). Even though its prevalence and risk factors are relatively well understood, the potential mechanisms of NSSI in MDD remain elusive. Aims To review present evidence related to the potential mechanisms of NSSI in MDD. Methods According to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020 guidelines, articles for this systematic review were searched on Medline (through PubMed), Embase (through Elsevier), PsycINFO (through OVID) and Web of Science databases for English articles, as well as China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), SinoMed, Wanfang Data, and the Chongqing VIP Chinese Science and Technology Periodical (VIP) Databases for Chinese articles published from the date of inception to 2 August 2022. Two researchers (BW, HZ) independently screened studies based on inclusion and exclusion criteria and assessed their quality. Results A total of 25 157 studies were searched. Only 25 of them were ultimately included, containing 3336 subjects (1535 patients with MDD and NSSI, 1403 patients with MDD without NSSI and 398 HCs). Included studies were divided into 6 categories: psychosocial factors (11 studies), neuroimaging (8 studies), stress and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis (2 studies), pain perception (1 study), electroencephalogram (EEG) (2 studies) and epigenetics (1 study). Conclusions This systematic review indicates that patients with MDD and NSSI might have specific psychosocial factors, aberrant brain functions and neurochemical metabolisms, HPA axis dysfunctions, abnormal pain perceptions and epigenetic alterations.

Abstract
Danzhi-xiaoyao-San (DZXYS), a Traditional Chinese Medicine, plays an essential role in the clinical treatment of depression, but its mechanisms in humans remain unclear. To investigate its pharmacological effects and mechanisms as an add-on therapy for depression, we conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with depressed patients receiving selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Serum and fecal samples were collected for metabolomic and microbiome analysis using UHPLC-QTRAP-MS/MS and 16S rRNA gene sequencing technologies, respectively. Depression symptoms were assessed using the 24-item Hamilton Depression Scale. We employed network pharmacology, metabolomics, and molecular docking to identify potential targets associated with DZXYS. We also examined the correlation between gut microbes and metabolites to understand how DZXYS affects the microbiota-gut-brain axis. The results showed that DZXYS combined with SSRIs was more effective than SSRIs alone in improving depression. We identified 39 differential metabolites associated with DZXYS treatment and found seven upregulated metabolic pathways. The active ingredients quercetin and luteolin were docked to targets (AVPR2, EGFR, F2, and CDK6) associated with the enriched pathways 'pancreatic cancer' and 'phospholipase D signaling pathway', which included the metabolite lysophosphatidic acid [LPA(0:0/16:0)]. Additionally, we identified 32 differential gut microbiota species related to DZXYS treatment, with Bacteroides coprophilus and Ruminococcus gnavus showing negative correlations with specific metabolites such as L-2-aminobutyric acid and LPA(0:0/16:0). Our findings indicate that DZXYS's antidepressant mechanisms involve multiple targets, pathways, and the regulation of LPA and the microbiota-gut-brain axis. These insights from our systems pharmacology analysis contribute to a better understanding of DZXYS's potential pharmacological mechanisms in depression treatment.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Managing the multimorbidity of diabetes and depression remains a clinical challenge for patients and healthcare professionals due to the fragmented healthcare delivery system. To effectively cope with multimorbidity, there is an urgent need for the health system to transform into people-centered integrated care (PCIC) system globally. Therefore, this paper describes the protocol of community-based integrated care for patients with diabetes and depression (CIC-PDD) project, an integrated and shared-care intervention project. METHODS/DESIGN CIC-PDD project is conducted in two phases, namely "care model development" and "implementation and evaluation." In the first phase, CIC-PDD model was designed and developed based on the four criteria of collaborative care model (CCM) and was subsequently adjusted to align with the context of China. The second phase entails a pragmatic, two-arm, cluster randomized controlled implementation trial, accompanied by parallel mixed-methods process evaluation and cost-effectiveness analysis. DISCUSSION We anticipate CIC-PDD project will facilitate the development and innovation of PCIC model and related theories worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). In addition, CIC-PDD project will contribute to the exploration of primary health care (PHC) in addressing the multimorbidity of physical and mental health issues.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to examine the prevalence and factors associated with symptoms of depression during the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS A representative sample of Portuguese adults was included in this populational survey, conducted between 25 March and 31 July 2021, with participants completing a structured questionnaire via phone interview. The symptoms of depression were measured using the Portuguese version of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to examine the association between sociodemographic, health, and lifestyle factors and depression levels (normal, mild, or moderate/severe). RESULTS The estimated prevalence of depression symptoms among participants was 24%. Participants who were women, were in older age groups, had multimorbidity, lived in isolated Portuguese regions such as islands and Alentejo, and were retired or unemployed more frequently reported depression symptoms. Economic hardship was also found to be associated with an increased frequency of mild or moderate-to-severe depression. In contrast, higher levels of education, regular alcohol intake, and regular exercise were associated with a lower frequency of depression symptoms. CONCLUSIONS These findings highlight that during the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, a high proportion of Portuguese adults reported depression symptoms, particularly the COVID-19-vulnerable strata such seniors, patients with multimorbidity, and people in economic hardship. On the other hand, citizens who performed regular physical exercise reported lower depressive symptomology. Our work contributes to improving the planning of mental health promotion after the COVID-19 pandemic and future emergencies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Most adult patients with depression complain about sleep symptoms, including insufficient and excessive sleep. However, previous studies investigating the impact of sleep duration on depression have yielded conflicting results. Therefore, this study aimed to analyse the link between depression and sleep duration, daytime napping, and snoring among rural Chinese adults. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted with 9104 individuals. Interviews were conducted with the participants regarding their sleep patterns and their daytime napping routines. The individuals were then assessed for depression using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9. The risk of depression was assessed using a multifactor binary logistic regression analysis. A generalized additive model was used to evaluate the nonlinear relationship between depression and sleep duration/nap time. Additionally, subgroup analysis was conducted to investigate the correlation between sleep duration, daytime napping, snoring, and depression. RESULTS Less than 6 h or more than 8 h of nighttime sleep, daytime napping for more than 1 h, and snoring were all significantly associated with an increased risk of depression. A U-shaped relationship was found between the duration of nighttime sleep and depression. In addition, we found that the nighttime duration of sleep, daytime naps, and snoring had a significant combined effect on the risk of depression. The subgroup analysis further revealed that lack of sleep at night significantly increased the risk of depression in all subgroups. However, snoring and excessive nighttime sleep and napping were only associated with the risk of depression in some subgroups. CONCLUSIONS Lack of nighttime sleep (short sleep duration), excessive sleep, and napping for more than one hour during the day were associated with a high risk of depression and had a combined effect with snoring.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between anemia and depression has been demonstrated in previous studies, but it's still unclear whether depressive symptoms as a hazard factor for anemia. The findings of a large-scale cross-sectional and longitudinal examination of such an association of among the middle-aged and elderly individuals in China were presented in our study. METHODS The data from China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study in 2011 and 2015 were evaluated. 10,179 and 5,887 participants were included in cross-sectional and longitudinal study, respectively. According to the World Health Organization, hemoglobin concentrations below 13 g/dL for males and 12 g/dL for females are considered anemia. The research population was separated into two groups based on scores of the 10-item short form of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D-10): the group with depressed symptoms had a score of more than 10 points, and the group with depressive disorder had a score of more than 20 points. Multilevel logistic regression analyses were conducted to explore the relationship between anemia and varying degrees of depressive symptoms, utilizing three models based on adjusting for different types of covariates. RESULTS In our cross-sectional investigation, depression disorders were more likely to link to the occurrence of anemia (OR, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.02-1.77; P = 0.035). Additionally, there seems a linear connection between depression questionnaire scores and hemoglobin concentrations (r = - 0.053, P < 0.001). Depressive symptom was significantly associated with anemia over 4 years of follow-up, and the more intense the depressive symptoms, the greater the danger of anemia (depressive symptoms group: OR, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.02-1.57, P = 0.032; depressive disorder group: OR, 1.59; 95% CI, 1.12-2.25, P = 0.010). CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that depression symptoms seem related to anemia in the middle-aged and elderly in China cross-sectionally and longitudinally, and that the risk of anemia increases with the severity of depressive symptoms.

Huang X, Sun Y, Wu A, Zhang X. Differences in the prevalence and clinical correlates of comorbid suicide attempts in patients with early- and late-onset major depressive disorder. Front Psychiatry 2023; 14:1173917. [PMID: 37588029 PMCID: PMC10426903 DOI: 10.3389/fpsyt.2023.1173917] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2023] [Accepted: 05/09/2023] [Indexed: 08/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective There are many studies on differences in the onset age of major depressive disorder (MDD) patients. However, study on differences in clinical correlates of suicide attempts between early- and late-onset MDD patients is limited. The aim of this study was to investigate the differences in the prevalence and clinical correlates of suicide attempts in patients with early- and late-onset MDD in China. Methods A total of 1718 adult outpatients with MDD were recruited. Demographic and clinical data were collected. The 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD-17), Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA), Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) positive subscale, and Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) Scales were used to assess their depressive, anxiety, psychotic symptoms, and the severity of the clinical symptoms, respectively. Results The prevalence of suicide attempts was higher in late-onset MDD patients (291/1369, 21.3%) than in early-onset MDD patients (55/349, 15.8%) (p = 0.023). However after Bonferroni correction no significant difference was found in the prevalence of suicide attempts in late-onset and late-onset MDD patients (p > 0.05). In both early- and late-onset groups, univariate analysis showed that the following characteristics were significantly associated with suicide attempts: HAMA, HAMD and PANSS positive subscale scores, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels, blood glucose levels, systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP). In both the early- and late-onset groups, the prevalence rates of severe anxiety disorder and psychotic symptoms were significantly higher in the suicide attempt group than in the non-suicide attempt group. In regression analysis, disease duration, TSH levels and HAMA score were independently associated with suicide attempts in the early-onset group, while TSH levels, HAMA and HAMD score were independently associated with suicide attempts in the late-onset group. Conclusion This study suggests that suicide attempts are not frequent in early-onset outpatients with MDD compared with late-onset, and some clinical correlates are associated with suicide attempt in early- and late-onset MDD.

Abstract
Objective The objective of this study was to explore the mediating effect of adolescent self and courage on the relationship between parenting style in childhood and adult depressed patients' interpersonal relationships in the period of youth. Methods The study analyzed data from 651 depressed individuals using the Wang Weidong memory-tracing personality developmental inventory (WMPI) from the psychology department of Guang'anmen Hospital. Results The results of the study show a significant positive correlation between parenting style in childhood, adolescent self, courage, and adult depressed patients' interpersonal relationships in the period of youth. Parenting style in childhood has a direct positive predictive effect on adult depressed patients' interpersonal relationships in the period of youth. It also has an indirect effect on interpersonal relationships in the period of youth through three indirect pathways: the independent mediating effect of adolescent self, the independent mediating effect of adolescent courage, and the chain mediating effect of adolescent self and courage. Conclusion The findings of this study suggest that parenting style in childhood plays an important role in shaping adult depressed patients' interpersonal relationships in the period of youth. The relationship between parenting style in childhood and interpersonal relationships in the period of youth is influenced by the independent mediating effect of adolescent self and courage, as well as the chain mediating effect of adolescent self and courage. These findings have implications for the development of interventions and programs aimed at improving the mental health and well-being of depressed patients.

Abstract
Background Untreated maternal postpartum depression (PPD) has consequences for children's physical growth, but no published study has evaluated changes in this effect over time. Here we therefore aimed to evaluate the dynamic effects of PPD on the physical growth of children in a prospective birth cohort. Methods Between 2015 and 2019, 960 mother-child pairs in Changsha, China were followed up when the child was aged 1-48 months. Data were obtained through household surveys. The mothers' depressive symptoms were measured using the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS) at 1 month postpartum. Linear mixed models were used to examine the changes in the association of PPD and EPDS scores with physical growth in six different age groups of children between 1 and 48 months. Results A total of 604 mother-child pairs completed the follow-up, and 3.3% of mothers reported PPD. No associations were found between PPD and weight or height growth at any age. While EPDS scores were associated with weight gain (β = -0.014, 95% CI (-0.025, -0.002), P = 0.024) and height growth (β = -0.044, 95% CI (-0.084, -0.004), P = 0.030) rates at 1-3 months, no associations were found in older children. Limitations The number of mothers who reported PPD was relatively small, and the measurement of PPD was not continuously taken. Conclusions After adjustments for confounders, no dynamic association was found between PPD and children's weight and height growth. EPDS scores, in contrast, did negatively affect children's weight and height growth at age 1-3 months, but this effect was not long-lasting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a mental illness, which is a notable public health problem that aggravates the global economic burden. This study aimed to investigate the causal relationship between education and MDD risk and the contributions of effects mediated by four modifiable factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Instrumental variables were screened from several large-scale genome-wide association study (GWAS) data (years of schooling with 766,345 participants, MDD with 59,851 cases and 113,154 controls, neuroticism with 329,821 individuals, smoking behavior with 195,068 cases and 164,638 controls, body mass index [BMI] with 336,107 individuals, and household income with 397,751 individuals). The data were used to evaluate the association of the four modifiable factors (neuroticism, smoking behavior, BMI, and household income) that mediate the effect of education on MDD risk via Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. RESULTS Each standard deviation increase in years of schooling could reduce the risk for MDD by 30.70%. Higher neuroticism and BMI were associated with a higher risk of MDD. Non-smoking status and increased household income were protective factors for MDD. Notably, the mediator neuroticism, BMI, smoking behavior, and household income explained 52.92%, 15.54%, 31.86%, and 81.30% of the effect of years of schooling on MDD risk, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Longer years of schooling have a protective effect on MDD risk. Reasonable interventions to reduce neuroticism, BMI, smoking, and increasing household income are beneficial for MDD prevention. Our work provides new ideas for the development of prevention strategies for MDD.

Abstract
Objective Depression is highly prevalent in adolescents and may have adverse social and health consequences. To investigate the effect of diet on the occurrence of depression in adolescents, this study examined the correlation between dietary patterns and depression in adolescents. Methods A total of 853 participants were recruited in September to October 2022 in Taizhou, Zhejiang, China. The Chinese version of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 was used to assess the subjects' depressive symptoms in the past 2 weeks. Relevant dietary information was obtained through a food frequency questionnaire. The associations between dietary patterns and the risk of depression were assessed using a logistic regression model. Results Four dietary patterns were identified by factor analysis, including the modern pattern, the snack-aquatic pattern, the traditional pattern, and the vegetarian pattern. The risk of mild depression among adolescents was higher in the Q2 and Q3 groups of the modern model than in the Q1 group of this type, and the risk of mild depression was higher in the Q4 group of the snack-aquatic model than in the Q1 group of this type; while the risk of moderate depressive symptoms was lower in the Q3 group of the vegetarian model compared with the Q1 group. Conclusion Modern and snack-aquatic patterns are associated with an increased risk of depression in Chinese adolescents, and vegetarian patterns are associated with a reduced risk of depression. The current findings emphasize the importance of adolescents consuming moderate amounts of rice flour, adequate vegetables and fruits, and reducing snack intake.

Efficacy of an internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy for subthreshold depression among Chinese adults: a randomized controlled trial. Psychol Med 2023; 53:3932-3942.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Subthreshold depression (sD) negatively impacts well-being and psychosocial function and is more prevalent compared with major depressive disorder (MDD). However, as adults with sD are less likely to seek face-to-face intervention, internet-based cognitive-behavioral therapy (ICBT) may overcome barriers of accessibility to psychotherapy. Although several trials explored the efficacy of ICBT for sD, the results remain inconsistent. This study evaluated whether ICBT is effective in reducing depressive symptoms among Chinese adults with sD. METHODS A randomized controlled trial was performed. The participants were randomly assigned to 5 weeks of ICBT, group-based face-to-face cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), or a waiting list (WL). Assessments were conducted at baseline, post-intervention and at a 6-month follow-up. The primary outcome measured depressive symptoms using the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). Outcomes were analyzed using a mixed-effects model to assess the effects of ICBT. RESULTS ICBT participants reported greater reductions on all the outcomes compared to the WL group at post-intervention. The ICBT group showed larger improvement on the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) at post-intervention (d = 0.12) and at follow-up (d = 0.10), and with CES-D at post-intervention (d = 0.06), compared to the CBT group. CONCLUSIONS ICBT is effective in reducing depressive symptoms among Chinese adults with sD, and improvements in outcomes were sustained at a 6-month follow-up. Considering the low rates of face-to-face psychotherapy, our findings highlight the considerable potential and implications for the Chinese government to promote the use of ICBT for sD in China.

Abstract
Mindfulness training among patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) reduces symptoms, prevents relapse, improves prognosis, and is more efficient for those with a high level of trait mindfulness. Upon hospital admission, 126 MDD patients completed the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), World Health Organization Quality of Life Brief, Five-Factor Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ), and the Rumination Response Scale (RRS). The 65 patients that scored less than the median of all subjects on the FFMQ were placed into the low mindfulness level (LML) group. The other 61 patients were placed in the high mindfulness level (HML) group. All facet scores were statistically different between the mental health assessment scores of the HML and LML groups except for RRS brooding and FFMQ nonjudgement. Trait mindfulness level exhibited a negative and bidirectional association with MDD severity primarily through the facets of description and aware actions. Trait mindfulness was also related positively with age primarily through the facets of nonreactivity and nonjudgement. Being married is positively associated with trait mindfulness levels primarily through the facet of observation and by an associated increase in perceived quality of life. Mindfulness training prior to MDD diagnosis also associates positively with trait mindfulness level. Hospitalized MDD patients should have their trait mindfulness levels characterized to predict treatment efficiency, help establish a prognosis, and identify mindfulness-related therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Objective This cross-sectional survey aimed to investigate the prevalence of depression among medical staff and its risk factors as well as the association between depression, anxiety, headache, and sleep disorders. Methods Stratified random cluster sampling was used to select medical staff from various departments of four hospitals in Sanya City. The Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were used to quantitatively assess depression, anxiety, and sleep disorders. Correlation and regression analyses were performed to determine factors affecting the depression occurrence and scores. Results Among 645 medical staff members, 548 (85%) responded. The 1-year prevalence of depression was 42.7% and the prevalence of depression combined with anxiety, headache, and sleep disorders was 23, 27, and 34.5%, respectively. The prevalence of depression in women, nurses, the unmarried or single group, and the rotating-shift population was significantly higher than that in men (48.3% vs. 27.1%, odds ratio OR = 2.512), doctors (55.2% vs. 26.7%, OR = 3.388), the married group (50.5% vs. 35.8%, OR = 1.900), and the day-shift population (35.2% vs. 7.5%, OR = 1.719). The occurrence of depression was correlated with anxiety, sleep disorders, headache, and migraines, with anxiety having the highest correlation (Spearman's Rho = 0.531). The SDS was significantly correlated with the SAS and PSQI (Spearman's Rho = 0.801, 0.503) and was also related to the presence of headache and migraine (Spearman Rho = 0.228, 0.159). Multiple logistic regression indicated that nurse occupation and anxiety were risk factors for depression, while grades of anxiety, sleep disorders and nurse occupation were risk factors for the degree of depression in multiple linear regression. Conclusion The prevalence of depression among medical staff was higher than that in the general population, especially among women, nurses, unmarried people, and rotating-shift workers. Depression is associated with anxiety, sleep disorders, headache, and migraines. Anxiety and nursing occupation are risk factors for depression. This study provides a reference for the promotion of occupational health among medical professionals.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to examine the association between sleep duration, sleep problems, and depression in Northwest China. Method Depression was diagnosed at the hospital and self-reported by the participants in the baseline survey. Sleep duration and problems, including difficulty initiating and maintaining sleep, early morning awakening, daytime dysfunction, use of sleeping pills or drugs, and any sleep problems, were obtained by a self-reported questionnaire. Logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for exploring the association between sleep duration, sleep problems, and depression, adjusting for demographic and socioeconomic characteristics and health behaviors. The association between depression and sleep duration was also evaluated continuously with restricted cubic spline curves based on logistic models. Results 36,515 adults from Regional Ethnic Cohort Study in Northwest China were included. About 24.04% of participants reported short sleep duration (<7 h), and 15.64% reported long sleep duration (≥9 h). Compared with standard sleep duration (7-9 h), short sleep duration was associated with a higher risk of depression (OR: 1.69, 95%CI: 1.26-2.27, p = 0.001). Self-reported sleep problems were also related to four times depression risk increased (OR: 4.02, 95%CI: 3.03-5.35, p < 0.001) compared with no sleep problems. In addition, a nonlinear relationship was found between sleep duration and depression after adjusting covariates (p = 0.043). Conclusion Sleep duration and sleep problems are associated with depression. Enough sleep time and healthy sleep habits in life course might be a practical health promotion approach to reduce depression risk in Northwest Chinese adults. A further study from cohort study is needed to verify the temporal association.

[PMID: 37327285 PMCID: PMC10270554 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000034058] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2023] [Accepted: 05/31/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023] Open
Abstract
The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has been proposed as a new marker for insulin resistance, which is associated with a risk of major depressive disorder (MDD). This study aims to explore whether the TyG index is correlated with MDD. In total, 321 patients with MDD and 325 non-MDD patients were included in the study. The presence of MDD was identified by trained clinical psychiatrists using the International Classification of Diseases 10th Revision. The TyG index was calculated as follows: Ln (fasting triglyceride [mg/dL] × fasting glucose [mg/dL]/2). The results revealed that the MDD group presented higher TyG index values than the non-MDD group (8.77 [8.34-9.17] vs 8.62 [8.18-9.01], P < .001). We also found significantly higher morbidity of MDD in the highest TyG index group than in the lower TyG index group (59.9% vs 41.4%, P < .001). Binary logistic regression revealed that TyG was an independent risk factor for MDD (odds ratio [OR] 1.750, 95% confidence interval: 1.284-2.384, P < .001). We further assessed the effect of TyG on depression in sex subgroups. The OR was 3.872 (OR 2.014, 95% confidence interval: 1.282-3.164, P = .002) for the subgroup of men. It is suggested that the TyG index could be closely associated with morbidity in MDD patients; thus, it may be a valuable marker for identifying MDD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Given the rapidly rising proportion of the older population in China and the relatively high prevalence of depressive symptoms among this population, this study aimed to identify the trajectories of depressive symptoms and the factors associated with the trajectory class to gain a better understanding of the long-term course of depressive symptoms in this population. METHODS Data were obtained from four wave's survey of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). A total of 3646 participants who aged 60 years or older during baseline survey, and completed all follow-ups were retained in this study. Depressive symptoms were measured using the 10-item version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D-10). Growth mixture modelling (GMM) was adopted to identify the trajectory classes of depressive symptoms, and both linear and quadratic functions were considered. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to calculate the adjusted odds ratios (ORs) of the associated factors to predict the trajectory class of participants. RESULTS A four-class quadratic function model was the best-fitting model for the trajectories of depressive symptoms in the older Chinese population. The four trajectories were labelled as increasing (16.70%), decreasing (12.31%), high and stable (7.30%), and low and stable (63.69%), according to their trends. Except for the low and stable trajectory, the other trajectories were almost above the threshold for depressive symptoms. The multivariate logistic regression model suggested that the trajectories of chronic depressive symptoms could be predicted by being female, living in a village (rural area), having a lower educational level, and having chronic diseases. CONCLUSIONS This study identified four depressive symptom trajectories in the older Chinese population and analysed the factors associated with the trajectory class. These findings can provide references for prevention and intervention to reduce the chronic course of depressive symptoms in the older Chinese population.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Smoking prevalence is disproportionately higher in those with psychiatric symptoms. Smokers with psychiatric symptoms are less likely to have an intention to quit smoking and attain eventual smoking abstinence. This study presents the relationship between depressive/anxiety symptoms and the intention to quit smoking and related influencing factors. METHODS A cross-sectional study recruited 931 current smoking individuals covering two provinces in China in July 2022. The online survey comprised questions concerning sociodemographic characteristics, smoking conditions and psychiatric symptoms. Chi-squared analyses and moderation analyses were applied. RESULTS The proportion of smokers who had the intention to quit smoking within six months was 46.1%. In comparison with subjects without depressive/anxiety symptoms, individuals who had both psychiatric symptoms were less likely to have the intention to quit smoking (39.3% vs 49.8%, χ2=9.130, p=0.028). As for the moderating model of depression, the interaction term of depressive symptoms and smoking regularly was significant (β=0.554, t=3.260, p=0.001). For those who were occasional smokers, depressive symptoms significantly lowered their quitting intentions. The regularity of smoking similarly moderated the effect of anxiety symptoms on quitting intentions. When the number of cigarettes used weekly served as the moderator, the interaction of this number and depressive symptoms was significant, as well as for anxiety (p<0.001), indicating that the volume of cigarette consumption moderated the relationship between depressive/anxiety symptoms and intention to quit smoking. CONCLUSIONS Psychiatric symptoms were significant factors in reducing the willingness of smokers to quit smoking, and the effects were moderated by smokers' cigarette consumption conditions. Interventions are urged to enhance quitting intentions of these vulnerable smokers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stigma toward mental disorders (STMD) is a significant barrier to mental health service delivery. To improve the provision of mental health services for community-dwelling residents in China, this study investigated STMD and its associated factors in community mental health workers (CMHWs) in Wuhan, China. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, a total of 3869 CMHWs (22.9% men and 37.1 ± 8.4 years old) were randomly selected through multistage sampling and invited to participate in this survey. The perceived devaluation-discrimination scale (PDD) and the National Mental Health Literacy Questionnaire (NMHLQ) were used to assess STMD and mental health knowledge, respectively. The presence of STMD was indicated by a mean item score of 3.0 or higher on the PDD. Multiple logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with STMD. RESULTS Of the CMHWs, 41.9% had poor mental health knowledge (NMHLQ score < 80), and 18.5% exhibited STMD. In multiple regression analysis, factors significantly associated with STMD were social workers (vs. primary care physicians, OR = 1.44, p < .001), poor self-rated capacity to handle common mental health problems (vs. good, OR = 1.57, p < .001), and poor mental health knowledge (vs. NMHLQ score ≥ 80, OR = 1.46, p < .001). CONCLUSION STMD is common among Chinese CMHWs. To reduce STMD among CMHWs, training programs in mental health care skills and mental health education may be necessary.

Abstract
Background Mental health issues affect rich and poor, young and old, and are widespread in Asia as well as in Europe. However, few studies have investigated the influence of perceived stress and income on mental health among general population in China and in Germany. Methods We conducted an online survey from December 2021 to February 2022 to investigate how perceived stress and income affect mental health among the general population in China (N = 1123) and in Germany (N = 1018). Accordingly, we used the 10-item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) and the 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12). We ran a multiple linear regression model to investigate the relationship between perceived stress, income, and mental health. Results Overall, we found that 53.4% participants reported mental health issues (GHQ-12 score ≥12). The proportion of our sample who reported mental health issues was higher in Germany (60.3%) than in China (44.8%). The regression model revealed that a higher perceived stress score was associated with more mental health issues in both countries (b = 0.60, p < 0.01). Individuals with a low income reported poorer mental health in Germany than those in China. Interestingly, the situation was reversed when incomes were high: individuals with a high income reported worse mental health in China than in Germany (b = -0.40, p < 0.01). Conclusion Perceived stress has a negative impact on mental health, while income has differential effects. Mental health promotion programmes may involve teaching stress management, while considering differences in mental health outcomes in developed and developing countries.

Abstract
Exosomes are extracellular vesicles with diameters of about 100 nm that are naturally secreted by cells into body fluids. They are derived from endosomes and are wrapped in lipid membranes. Exosomes are involved in intracellular metabolism and intercellular communication. They contain nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, and metabolites from the cell microenvironment and cytoplasm. The contents of exosomes can reflect their cells' origin and allow the observation of tissue changes and cell states under disease conditions. Naturally derived exosomes have specific biomolecules that act as the "fingerprint" of the parent cells, and the contents changed under pathological conditions can be used as biomarkers for disease diagnosis. Exosomes have low immunogenicity, are small in size, and can cross the blood-brain barrier. These characteristics make exosomes unique as engineering carriers. They can incorporate therapeutic drugs and achieve targeted drug delivery. Exosomes as carriers for targeted disease therapy are still in their infancy, but exosome engineering provides a new perspective for cell-free disease therapy. This review discussed exosomes and their relationship with the occurrence and treatment of some neuropsychiatric diseases. In addition, future applications of exosomes in the diagnosis and treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders were evaluated in this review.

Abstract
Rosacea is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease with a complex etiology and undefined pathogenesis, and there is still a lack of targeted clinical treatment. Patients with rosacea are at a higher risk of anxiety and depression compared to the healthy population. Compared to skin conditions such as acne and psoriasis, rosacea has been much less studied in relation to multiple-etiology psychiatric disorders such as anxiety and depression. In contrast to the mainstream belief that the causal association between rosacea and psychiatric disorders is that rosacea increases the psychological burden of patients and thus triggers psychiatric disorders simply by altering their facial appearance, this review outlines the possible common mechanisms between rosacea and anxiety and depression disorders, starting from the pathophysiological mechanisms of transient receptor potential family cation channels, HPA axis, and Th1/Th17 cell polarization. It envisages the possibility of the neuroendocrine-immune interplay between rosacea and anxiety and depression, and new ideas on the complex causal relationship between rosacea and psychiatric disorders, offering more orientations to open up new therapeutic approaches for rosacea.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In China, the identification rate and treatment rate of mental disorders are low, and there are few surveys on the prevalence of mental disorders among college students using diagnostic tools such as Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI), so the prevalence and treatment of mental disorders among college students are unclear.
AIM To estimate prevalence of mental disorders among medical students in Hebei Province, and provide guidance for improving their mental health.
METHODS This was a cross-sectional study based on an Internet-based survey. Three levels of medical students in Hebei Province were randomly selected (by cluster sampling) for screening. Using the information network assessment system, the subjects scanned the 2D code with their mobile phones, clicked to sign the informed consent, and answered a scale. A self-designed general status questionnaire was used to collect information about age, gender, ethnicity, grade, and origin of students. The MINI 5.0. was used to investigate mental disorders. Data analysis was performed with SPSS software. Statistically significant findings were determined using a two-tailed P value of 0.05.
RESULTS A total of 7117 subjects completed the survey between October 11 and November 7, 2021. The estimated prevalence of any mental disorders within 12 mo was 7.4%. Mood disorders were the most common category (4.3%), followed by anxiety disorders (3.9%); 15.0% had been to psychological counseling, while only 5.7% had been to a psychiatric consultation, and only 10% had received drug therapy in the past 12 mo.
CONCLUSION Although the estimated prevalence of mental disorders in medical students is lower than in the general population, the rate of adequate treatment is low. We determined that improving the mental health of medical students is an urgent matter.
