Abstract
INTRODUCTION In several claims-based studies, major depressive disorder (MDD) has been associated with increased risk of hospitalization due to acute infections. It remains unclear if this is a causal effect, and if it generalizes to an increased susceptibility to infections. METHODS We used data of the BiDirect (n = 925) and the HaBIDS (n = 1007) cohort studies to estimate the effect of MDD on self-reported infections, which were assessed with identical infection susceptibility questionnaires in both studies. We used the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) to examine if there was a dose-response relationship between depressive symptom severity and self-reported infections. RESULTS BiDirect participants with MDD diagnosis (48%) had a higher risk of lower respiratory tract infections (incidence rate ratio 1.32, 95% confidence interval [1.00-1.75]), gastrointestinal infections (1.68 [1.30-2.16]) and fever (1.48 [1.11-1.98]) after adjusting for confounders identified by a directed acyclic graph approach. There was a dose-response relationship, i.e. individuals with higher CES-D scores reported more infections. Effect sizes were similar in HaBIDS (4% individuals with MDD). CONCLUSION We found increased risks of mild infections in patients with MDD diagnosis and a dose-response relationship between depressive symptom severity and infection frequency. While causal immunological pathways remain unclear, the results of our study might contribute to a change in prevention strategies, e.g. by recommending vaccination against influenza and S. pneumoniae to MDD patients because observed effect sizes in our study are similar to those of patients with cardiovascular and metabolic diseases for which the respective vaccinations are recommended.

Qin G, Li Z. Effects of miR-124-3p Silencing on Neuronal Damage in the Hippocampus of Depression Rats by Regulating STAT3 Gene. COMPUTATIONAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN MEDICINE 2022; 2022:3733656. [PMID: 35813421 PMCID: PMC9262509 DOI: 10.1155/2022/3733656] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2022] [Revised: 05/20/2022] [Accepted: 05/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Objective A large amount of evidence shows that the abnormal expression of miRNA plays an important role in the development of depression. Therefore, we investigated the effect of miR-124-3p on neuronal damage in the hippocampus of depression rats. Methods The target genes of miR-124-3p were predicted by the database; the depression model was prepared by subcutaneous injection of corticosterone (CORT), and LV-miR-124-3p asponge lentiviral suspension was given to determine the weight of rats and open-field test, sugar preference experiment, Serum CORT, 5-HT, DA, and NE were measured, observe and record the behavior of rats, including behavior, diet, and hair. The expression of miR-124-3p, STAT3, Bcl-2, and Bax in rat hippocampus was measured. The rat hippocampal neuron cells were extracted and transfected with miR-124-3p inhibitor; the cells were cultured with CORT, and the cell survival rate was evaluated by MTT experiment, and the expressions of miR-124-3p, STAT3, Bcl-2, and Bax in the cells were detected. Luciferase reporter gene verifies the targeted regulation of miR-124-3p on STAT3. Results Compared with depression rats, silencing miR-124-3p increased the weight of the rats, increased the number of open-field activities, and significantly improved the general state and pathological state of the rats. The sugar water preference rate was significantly increased, the CORT content in the serum of rats decreased significantly, and the levels of 5-HT, DA, and NE increased significantly. After the treatment of silencing miR-124-3p, the expression level of miR-124-3p was decreased, while the STAT3 mRNA and protein expression levels were increased. And the protein and mRNA expression levels of Bcl-2 were increased, and the Bax protein and mRNA expression were decreased. Cell experiments verified that silencing miR-124-3p increased cell survival, the expression level of miR-124-3p decreased remarkably, while the expression levels of STAT3 mRNA and protein increased significantly. Silencing miR-124-3p reversed the effects of CORT treatment on miR-124-3p and STAT3 in neuronal cells. The luciferase reporter gene experiment confirmed that miR-124-3p targets and regulates STAT3 expression. Conclusion Silencing miR-124-3p may protect hippocampal neurons from damage in depression rats by upregulating STAT3 gene.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression is highly prevalent among hospitalized patients with pneumonia. At discharge, these patients transfer to a less care-intensive home-based setting. Nevertheless, little is known on the prognosis in the postdischarge period. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of depression on 30-day mortality and readmission in persons discharged after a pneumonia admission. DESIGN This was a population-based cohort study using the Danish registries. SUBJECTS All persons aged 50+ years with a pneumonia admission in 2000-2016 in Denmark. MEASURES Mortality rate ratios for 30-day mortality and incidence rate ratios for 30-day readmission in pneumonia patients with versus without depression. RESULTS We identified 379,265 pneumonia admissions, hereof 83,257 (22.0%) with depression. The overall adjusted mortality rate ratio was 1.29 (95% confidence interval: 1.25-1.33), and the overall adjusted incidence rate ratio was 1.07 (95% confidence interval: 1.05-1.08). The mortality risk was higher for all ages and throughout the 30-day period in persons with versus without depression. This risk was modified by sociodemographic and socioeconomic characteristics (excluding sex and education), admission-related factors, comorbidities, and use of benzodiazepines, opioids, or antipsychotics. The readmission risk was higher until age 90 and tended to be higher throughout the 30-day period. This risk was modified by age, cohabitation, residency, admission-related factors, comorbidities, and use of opioids or antipsychotics. For both outcomes, the relative effect of depression was highest among the youngest, among those with a short hospital stay and among those with few comorbidities. CONCLUSION Depression is an independent risk factor for 30-day mortality and readmission in persons who transfer from hospital care to home-based care.

Association between mental illness and COVID-19 susceptibility and clinical outcomes in South Korea: a nationwide cohort study. Lancet Psychiatry 2020; 7:1025-1031. [PMID: 32950066 PMCID: PMC7498216 DOI: 10.1016/s2215-0366(20)30421-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 168] [Impact Index Per Article: 42.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2020] [Revised: 08/26/2020] [Accepted: 08/26/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence for the associations between mental illness and the likelihood of a positive severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) test result and the clinical outcomes of COVID-19 is scarce. We aimed to investigate these associations with data from a national register in South Korea. METHODS A nationwide cohort study with propensity score matching was done in South Korea using data collected from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service of Korea. We defined mental illness as present if one of the relevant ICD-10 codes was recorded at least twice within 1 year for an outpatient or inpatient. Severe mental illness was considered as non-affective or affective disorders with psychotic features. We included all patients aged older than 20 years who were tested for SARS-CoV-2 through services facilitated by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service of Korea, and the Ministry of Health and Welfare, South Korea. We investigated the primary outcome (SARS-CoV-2 test positivity) in the entire cohort and the secondary outcomes (severe clinical outcomes of COVID-19: death, admission to the intensive care unit, or invasive ventilation) among those who tested positive. FINDINGS Between Jan 1 and May 15, 2020, 216 418 people were tested for SARS-CoV-2, of whom 7160 (3·3%) tested positive. In the entire cohort with propensity score matching, 1391 (3·0%) of 47 058 patients without a mental illness tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, compared with 1383 (2·9%) of 48 058 with a mental illness (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1·00, 95% CI 0·93-1·08). Among the patients who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, after propensity score matching, 109 (8·3%) of 1320 patients without a mental illness had severe clinical outcomes of COVID-19 compared with 128 (9·7%) of 1320 with a mental illness (adjusted OR 1·27, 95% CI 1·01-1·66). INTERPRETATION Diagnosis of a mental illness was not associated with increased likelihood of testing positive for SARS-CoV-2. Patients with a severe mental illness had a slightly higher risk for severe clinical outcomes of COVID-19 than patients without a history of mental illness. Clinicians treating patients with COVID-19 should be aware of the risk associated with pre-existing mental illness. FUNDING National Research Foundation of Korea.

Abstract
Depression is one of the most common mental disorders with an increasing incidence. However, factors involved in depression are so complex, thus it is difficult to find effective strategies to reverse the impairments. This study aims to verify the role of regulator of G protein signaling 2 (RGS2) in the mouse mode of unpredictable mild stress-induced depression-like behaviors. Knockdown of RGS2 was achieved by transfection of siRNA-RGS2 in mouse hippocampal (HT-22) cells in vitro and injection of recombinant adenovirus expressing siRNA-RGS2 in mice in vivo. An aberrant high expression of RGS2 was found in mice with depression-like behaviors through immunohistochemical analysis. Silencing of RGS2 or Forskolin (activator of cAMP pathway) developed sweet water consumption, reduced inflammation and oxidative stress injury, and attenuated cognitive impairment and neuronal damage in mice with depression-like behaviors. Furthermore, regeneration was enhanced and apoptosis was repressed in mouse hippocampal neurons in the presence of RGS2 knockdown and Forskolin. Mechanistic studies indicated that silencing of RGS2 promoted the activation of cAMP pathway, thus rescuing depression-like behaviors of mice. Collectively, our study uncovered the role of RGS2-dependent cAMP pathway in regulation of cognitive impairment and hippocampal neuron regeneration in depression-like behaviors of mice, which may be a potential therapeutic target for impairments and symptoms associated with depression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The present study aimed to assess the cumulative incidence of major depressive disorder (MDD) among rural Chinese residents. Furthermore, we intended to estimate whether metabolic syndrome (MetS) was associated with MDD by both cross-sectional and prospective analysis. METHOD Data of 11,675 residents (46.3% men) was used for cross-sectional analysis. The residents were followed up with median 4.66 years. MDD was diagnosed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). The data of 2796 individuals without any depressive symptoms was used for prospective analysis. RESULT With median of 4.66 years follow-up, the cumulative incidence of MDD among rural residents was 3.9%. Women had significantly higher cumulative incidence of MDD than men (5.3% for women and 2.9% for men, P < 0.01). The incidence of MDD was significantly higher among women with MetS (7.3% vs. 3.8%, P < 0.001), hypertriglyceridemia (7.0% vs. 4.5%, P < 0.001) or elevated blood pressure (6.4% vs. 3.4%, P < 0.001) at baseline compared with those without them. There was no incidence difference of MDD among men with or without baseline metabolic disorders. In prospective study, after adjusting possible confounders, baseline MetS was associated with higher incidence of MDD (OR: 1.82, 95%CI: 1.01, 3.27, P = 0.045) in women but not men (OR: 1.84, 95%CI: 0.88, 3.83, P = 0.104). CONCLUSION Cumulative incidence of MDD in rural China was higher among women than among men. Baseline MetS was associated with higher cumulative incidence of MDD in women but not men. More concern should be put on women with MetS in case of onset depressive symptom in future.

Abstract
Pneumonia-related mortality is expected to increase in aging societies. This prospective cohort study examined whether daily walking (1 hour/day) could reduce pneumonia-related mortality among older people who lacked other exercise habits. We analysed data from Japanese Specific Health Checkup across 82 municipalities in 7 prefectures among participants aged ≥65 years who participated in daily walking but did not regularly engage in other forms of exercise (n = 132,448). Information on walking habits and health-related indicators was assessed at a baseline survey conducted between 2008 and 2014. Pneumonia-related and all-cause mortality were followed for a median of 3.4 years. We performed a competing risk model with propensity score matching to evaluate the association between daily walking habits and pneumonia-related mortality. Our propensity-matched analysis revealed a significant association between daily walking and pneumonia-related mortality among older people who lacked other exercise habits, such that the sub-hazard ratio and 95% confidence intervals were 0.58 (0.39, 0.86). This study extends the findings of previous research on the effects of exercise on pneumonia by demonstrating that daily walking alone is sufficient to reduce pneumonia-related mortality among older people who do not regularly engage in other exercise habits.

Abstract
This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy). This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief. Concern was raised about the integrity of the images in Figures 5, 6A and 8A, which appear to contain suspected duplications, as detailed here: https://pubpeer.com/publications/773D824533241B2186D16AA3FFCB3F and here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1r0MyIYpagBc58BRF9c3luWNlCX8VUvUuPyYYXzxWvgY/edit#gid=262337249. Additional suspected image duplications were detected within Figure 7A. Our analysis suggested these image anomalies represent either direct duplications of the entire image, or contain several repeated features between or within an image. The journal requested the corresponding author comment on these concerns and provide the raw data. The authors did not respond to this request and therefore the Editor-in-Chief decided to retract the article.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes is one of the underlying risk factors for developing community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). The high prevalence of diabetes among population and the rising incidence of this illness, converts it as an important disease to better control and manage, to prevent its secondary consequences as CAP. The objective of this research is to describe the characteristics of the patients with diabetes and the differences with the no diabetes who have had an episode of CAP in the context of the primary care field. METHODS A retrospective, observational study in adult patients (> 18 years-old) who suffer from CAP and attended at primary care in Spain between 2009 and 2013 was developed using the Computerized Database for Pharmacoepidemiological Studies in Primary Care (BIFAP). We carried out a descriptive analysis of the first episodes of CAP, in patients with or without diabetes as comorbidity. Other morbidity (CVA, Anaemia, Arthritis, Asthma, Heart disease, Dementia, Depression, Dysphagia, Multiple sclerosis, Epilepsy, COPD, Liver disease, Arthrosis, Parkinson's disease, Kidney disease, HIV) and life-style factors were also included in the study. RESULTS A total of 51,185 patients were included in the study as they suffer from the first episode of CAP. Of these, 8012 had diabetes as comorbidity. There were differences between sex and age in patients with diabetes. Patients without diabetes were younger, and had less comorbidities including those related to lifestyles such as smoking, alcoholism, social and dental problems than patients with diabetes. CONCLUSIONS Patients who developed an episode of CAP with diabetes have more risk factors which could be reduced with an appropriate intervention, including vaccination to prevent successive CAP episodes and hospitalization. The burden of associated factors in these patients can produce an accumulation of risk. Health care professional should know this for treating and control these patients in order to avoid complications. Diabetes and those other risk factors associated could be reduced with an appropriate intervention, including vaccination to prevent the first and successive CAP episodes and the subsequent hospitalization in severe cases.

Abstract
According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, one in five adults experience a mental health condition yearly. Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is often treated with QTc prolonging antibiotics. The primary outcome assessed is if psychiatric diagnosis contributed to treatment failure in CAP. Outpatients with International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems 9 and 10 codes for CAP from January 2008 to January 2018 were analyzed retrospectively by descriptive statistics. Bivariate analysis was used to compare baseline characteristics, treatment regimens, and outcomes between those with a psychiatric diagnosis and those without. A χ-test was used for analysis of categorical variables and either the independent Student's t-test or one-way analysis of variance was used was used for analysis of continuous variables. Criteria were met by 518 patients, of which, 49% had a psychiatric diagnosis. Patients with psychiatric comorbidity were not more likely to experience treatment failure, subsequent admission, or mortality. There was no statistically significant difference between patients with a psychiatric diagnosis and those without in early or late CAP treatment failure (P=0.34 and 0.12), 30-day subsequent admission rates (P=0.41), 30-day mortality (P=0.34), or 90-day mortality (P=0.38). Psychiatric diagnosis increased the likelihood of a concomitant QTc prolonging psychiatric medication (51.78 vs. 3.40% P<0.0001), however, the prescribing rate of a QTc prolonging antibiotic was not statistically significantly different (85.3 vs. 83.4% P=0.54). Outpatients with mental illness can be treated for CAP without fear of increased risk of treatment failure compared with those without such diagnosis. This study emphasizes the necessity to consider the full patient history and diagnosis when treating patients with outpatient infections.
