Abstract
Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a psychological disease that can occur following a stroke and is associated with serious consequences. Research on the pathogenesis and treatment of PSD is still in the infancy stage. Patients with PSD often exhibit gastrointestinal symptoms; therefore the role of gut microbiota in the pathophysiology and potential treatment effects of PSD has become a hot topic of research. In this review, describe the research on the pathogenesis and therapy of PSD. We also describe how the gut microbiota influences neurotransmitters, the endocrine system, energy metabolism, and the immune system. It was proposed that the gut microbiota is involved in the pathogenesis and treatment of PSD through the regulation of neurotransmitter levels, vagal signaling, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activation and inhibition, hormone secretion and release, in addition to immunity and inflammation.

Exploring the impact of anticholinergic burden on urinary independence: insights from a post-stroke cohort of older adults. Int J Clin Pharm 2024; 46:910-917. [PMID: 38635116 DOI: 10.1007/s11096-024-01725-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2024] [Accepted: 03/13/2024] [Indexed: 04/19/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Anticholinergic burden is associated with adverse events in the older adults. However, there is a lack of evidence regarding its effect on urinary independence in stroke patients. AIM This study examined the association between increased anticholinergic burden during hospitalization and urinary independence in post-stroke patients undergoing rehabilitation. METHOD This observational cross-sectional study included stroke patients admitted to a post-acute rehabilitation hospital between 2020 and 2022 who were not independently urinating. The degree of urinary independence was assessed using the Functional Independence Measure-Bladder (FIM-Bladder), a subscale of the motor domain of the FIM, and urinary independence was defined as FIM-Bladder ≥ 6. Anticholinergic burden was assessed using the anticholinergic risk scale (ARS), and changes in ARS during hospitalization were calculated by subtracting the value at admission from the value at discharge. The study outcome was urinary independence at discharge. Logistic regression analysis was used to examine whether change in ARS score was independently associated with the outcome. Statistical significance was set at P < 0.05. RESULTS Of the 573 patients enrolled, 312 patients (mean age 77.5 years, 51.9% male) were included in the analysis. ARS increased during hospitalization in 57 patients (18.3%). Change in ARS score was independently associated with urinary independence (odds ratio: 0.432, 95% confidence interval: 0.247-0.756, P = 0.003). CONCLUSION Increased anticholinergic burden in post-stroke patients who require assistance with urination is significantly associated with less independent urination. Anticholinergic agents may need to be introduced cautiously in patients who require assistance with urination.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of Post Stroke Depression (PSD) in the Rehabilitation Stage is high, which can bring serious physical and psychological disorders to patients. However, there is still a lack of targeted tools for screening PSD in the rehabilitation stage. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the factor structure and reliability of a measurement instrument to screen for PSD in the rehabilitation stage. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted on 780 hospitalized stroke patients who were within the rehabilitation stage from May to August 2020. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) as well as first- and second-order confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were performed to evaluate the factor structure of the newly developed Symptom Measurement of Post-Stroke Depression in the Rehabilitation Stage (SMPSD-RS). The reliability and validity of the SMPSD-RS were also verified using several statistical methods. RESULTS EFA extracted a 24-item, five-factor (cognition, sleep, behavior, emotion, and obsession) model that can clinically explain the symptoms of PSD during the rehabilitation stage. A first-order CFA confirmed the EFA model with good model fit indices, and the second-order CFA further confirmed the five-factor structure model and showed acceptable model fit indices. Acceptable reliability and validity were also achieved by the corresponding indicators. CONCLUSION The SMPSD-RS was proven to have a stable factor structure and was confirmed to be reliable and valid for assessing PSD symptoms in stroke patients during the rehabilitation stage.

Three-needle electroacupuncture ameliorates depressive-like behaviors in a mouse model of post-stroke depression by promoting excitatory synapse formation via the NGL-3/L1cam pathway. Brain Res 2024; 1841:149087. [PMID: 38871241 DOI: 10.1016/j.brainres.2024.149087] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2024] [Revised: 06/07/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024]
Abstract
Three-needle electroacupuncture (TNEA) has shown promise as a non-pharmacological treatment for post-stroke depression (PSD). However, the underlying mechanisms of its therapeutic effects remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the potential molecular and synaptic mechanisms by which TNEA ameliorates depressive-like behaviors in a mouse model of PSD. Male C57BL/6 mice were subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) to induce PSD and subsequently treated with TNEA for three weeks at specific acupoints (GV24 and bilateral GB13). Through a combination of behavioral tests, neuronal activation assessment, synaptic function examination, transcriptomic analysis, and various molecular techniques, we found that TNEA treatment significantly improved anxiety and depressive-like behaviors in PSD mice. These improvements were accompanied by enhanced neuronal activation in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and primary somatosensory cortex (PSC), as well as the promotion of excitatory synapse formation and transmission function in the mPFC. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that TNEA upregulated the expression of Netrin-G Ligand-3 (NGL-3), a postsynaptic cell adhesion molecule, in the mPFC. Further investigation showed that the extracellular domain of NGL-3 binds to the presynaptic protein L1cam, promoting the formation of Vesicular Glutamate Transporter 1 (vGluT1) puncta on neuronal dendrites. Notably, cortical neuron-specific knockout of NGL-3 abolished the antidepressant-like effects of TNEA in PSD mice, confirming the crucial role of the NGL-3/L1cam pathway in mediating the therapeutic effects of TNEA. These findings provide novel insights into the molecular and synaptic mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of acupuncture in the treatment of PSD and highlight the potential of targeting the NGL-3/L1cam pathway for the development of alternative interventions for PSD and other depressive disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is a well-established fact that post-stroke depression (PSD) is a prevalent condition that affects a significant proportion of individuals who have suffered a stroke. Hence, our research endeavors to explore the safety, efficacy and the potential molecular mechanism of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (ta-VNS) for the treatment of depression in PSD patients by conducting a double-blind, sham-controlled, randomized trial. METHODS Patients who had experienced strokes and exhibited depressive symptoms, with a Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-17) score of ≥8 and met the DSM-IV criteria, were diagnosed with PSD. A volunteer sample of participants (N = 80) were randomly divided into either the ta-VNS group (which received ta-VNS in addition to conventional treatment) or the control group (which received conventional treatment only), in a 1:1 ratio. The effectiveness of the interventions was evaluated using the 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD-17), Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), and Barthel Index (BI) scores. Furthermore, Plasma BDNF, CREB1, and 5-HT levels were measured before and after treatment. RESULTS The concomitant application of ta-VNS demonstrated a remarkable reduction in HAMD-17 and SDS scores, leading to noteworthy enhancements in patients' daily functioning, as evidenced by improved activities of daily living, at all assessed time points, in contrast to the control group (p < 0.0001). Notably, the ta-VNS group exhibited superior effects in modulating the measured neurotrophic biomarkers when compared to the control group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The synergistic approach of combining ta-VNS with conventional treatment has demonstrated remarkable efficacy and tolerability in managing depression following a stroke.

Abstract
Detailed data on post-stroke depression (PSD) in older adults are limited in spite of the high vulnerability of this population to stroke. In fact, PSD prevalence in older adults ranges from 16.0 to 43.9%; however, timing and instruments of evaluation often differ significantly across all available studies. The etiology, genetic and inflammatory factors, as well as structural brain alterations, are claimed as part of a multifaceted mechanism of action in PSD onset. Thus, the aim of this narrative review was to further elaborate on the prevalence, etiology, diagnosis, consequences and treatment of PSD in older adults. The consequences of PSD in older adults may be devastating, including a poor functional outcome after rehabilitation and lower medication adherence. In addition, lower quality of life and reduced social participation, higher risk of new stroke, rehospitalization, and mortality have been reported. In this scenario, treating PSD represents a crucial step to prevent these complications. Both pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies are currently available. The pharmacological treatment utilizes antidepressant drugs, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), tricyclic antidepressants (TAs) and new multimodal antidepressants (NMAs). Non-pharmacological therapies include psychological interventions and non-invasive brain stimulation techniques, while excluding drug administration. In the general population experiencing PSD, SSRIs (sertraline in particular) are the most prescribed, whereas the combination of antidepressants and psychotherapy is underused. Furthermore, about one-third of patients do not receive treatment for PSD. In regard to older adults with PSD, the possibility of more adverse effects or contraindications to antidepressant prescription due to comorbidities may limit the therapeutic window. Although drugs such as citalopram, escitalopram, sertraline, venlafaxine, and vortioxetine are usually well tolerated by older patients with PSD, the few randomized controlled trials (RCTs) specifically considering older adults with PSD have been conducted with fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, reboxetine, citalopram and nortriptyline, often with very small patient samples. Furthermore, data regarding the results of non-pharmacological therapies are scarce. High-quality RCTs recruiting large samples of older adults are needed in order to better manage PSD in this population. In addition, adequate screening and diagnosis instruments, with reliable timing of evaluation, should be applied.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to explore paroxetine's effect on nerve growth factor (NGF), human neurotrophin-4 (NT-4), and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels in post-stroke depression. Ninety-two post-stroke depression patients from April 2021 to April 2023 in our hospital were selected and numbered 1 to 92 after enrollment. Forty-six patients with odd number and 46 patients with even number were, respectively, included in the control and observation group. In addition to basic treatment, control group was treated with flupentixol melitracen tablets orally, and observation group received paroxetine hydrochloride orally. The levels of NGF, NT-4, BDNF, 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), homocysteine (Hcy), noradrenaline (NE), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) changes of National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). NGF, NT-4, and BDNF levels were compared between groups at T0, T1, and T2 levels were higher, and the levels at T2 were higher than those at T1, and observation group levels were higher (P < 0.05); NGF, NT-4, and BDNF levels were compared among groups, time, and interaction. 5-HT, Hcy, and NE levels at T0 were compared between groups; 5-HT and NE levels at T1 and T2 were higher than those at T0, the levels at T2 were higher than those at T1, and observation group levels were higher (P < 0.05); Hcy level at T1 and T2 was lower, its level at T2 was lower than those at T1, and observation group levels were lower (P < 0.05); 5-HT, Hcy, and NE levels were compared among groups, time, and interaction (P < 0.05). HAMD and NIHSS at T0 were compared; T1 and T2 were lower than T0, T2 was lower than T1, and observation group was lower (P < 0.05); HAMD and NIHSS were compared among groups, time, and interaction (P < 0.05). For post-stroke depression, paroxetine treatment can effectively improve NGF, NT-4, BDNF, 5-HT, Hcy, and NE levels and effectively reduce the degree of neurological damage and depression, which has high clinical application value.

Abstract
Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a serious neuropsychiatric complication post stroke and leads to cognitive deficits. This study was conducted to explore the molecular mechanism of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1A) in cognitive dysfunction in rats with PSD. The rat model of PSD was established by middle cerebral artery occlusion, followed by 3 weeks of treatment with chronic unpredictable mild stress. The levels of miR-582-5p, HIF-1A, and neighbor of Brca1 gene (NBR1) in brain tissues were determined using RT-qPCR. The behaviors and cognitive capacity of rats were evaluated by various behavioral tests. PSD rats were injected with HIF-1A/miR-582-5p lowexpression vectors or NBR1 overexpression vectors via stereotactic method. The binding of HIF-1A to NBR1 or miR-582-5p was analyzed by chromatin immunoprecipitation and dual-luciferase assay. HIF-1A and NBR1 were highly expressed while miR-582-5p was poorly expressed in the brain of PSD rats. HIF-1A inhibition alleviated cognitive dysfunction of PSD rats. miR-582-5p was the upstream miRNA of HIF-1A, and HIF-1A specifically interacted with the NBR1 promoter to enhance NBR1 expression. miR-582-5p downregulation and NBR1 upregulation reversed the alleviative role of HIF-1A inhibition in cognitive dysfunction of PSD rats. In summary, HIF-1A inhibition may be a therapeutic target for cognitive dysfunction post PSD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Older stroke survivors usually experience various psychology disorders, such as post-stroke depression (PSD), which may be associated with high experiential avoidance (EA) and can seriously affect their quality of life. To date, the efficacy of group-based acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) for older stroke survivors has not been established. The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of group-based ACT on EA, PSD, psychological distress, and quality of life in older stroke survivors after group-based ACT. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This study is a randomized, single-blind, wait-list controlled, parallel-arm trial. A total of 66 stroke survivors will be randomly assigned to wait-list control group or intervention group. Participants in wait-list control group will receive treatment as usual (TAU), while the intervention group will receive group-based ACT once a week for eight weeks. The primary outcome measure being EA, and the secondary outcome measures being PSD, psychological distress, and quality of life. Results of the two groups will be blindly assessed by professional evaluators at baseline (T0), post-treatment (T1), and one-month follow up (T2). DISCUSSION The results of this study will provide the first evidence for the effectiveness of a group-based ACT intervention in reducing EA, PSD, psychological stress, and improving quality of life for post-stroke survivors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-stroke depression (PSD) as one of the most common neuropsychiatric disorders after a stroke and is caused by many factors. However, the relationships among different factors and their potential contributions to PSD remain unclear. METHODS Two hundred and seventy-six patients were recruited into this study. The general information questionnaire, the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, the Perceived Social Support Scale, the Family Assessment Device, the General Well-Being Scale, the Barthel Index, and the modified Rankin Scale were used to assess the condition of patients. Subsequently, we identify the main causes associated with the PSD and then performed a path analysis to clarify the direct, indirect and total effects among the variables. RESULTS We found that age, stroke with coronary heart disease, neurological function, family function, social support, and general well-being had a significant impact on PSD (P < 0.05). Of these, neurological function had the largest total effect on PSD (β = 0.451), social support contributed the most as a direct effect (β = -0.306), and family function showed the largest indirect effect (β = -0.264). CONCLUSION Individual, disease, and social-psychological factors all contributed to the development of PSD. We should pay more attention to comprehensive assessment, especially for those with poor neurological function, and lacking family or social support. In addition, it would be preferable to provide them with necessary support and care strategies to reduce the incidence of PSD.

Abstract
Objectives Post-stroke depression (PSD) may be associated with the altered brain network property. This study aimed at exploring the brain network characteristics of PSD under the classic cognitive task, i.e., the oddball task, in order to promote our understanding of the pathogenesis and the diagnosis of PSD. Methods Nineteen stroke survivors with PSD and 18 stroke survivors with no PSD (non-PSD) were recruited. The functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) covering the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex was recorded during the oddball task state and the resting state. The brain network characteristics were extracted using the graph theory and compared between the PSD and the non-PSD subjects. In addition, the classification performance between the PSD and non-PSD subjects was evaluated using features in the resting and the task state, respectively. Results Compared with the resting state, more brain network characteristics in the task state showed significant differences between the PSD and non-PSD groups, resulting in better classification performance. In the task state, the assortativity, clustering coefficient, characteristic path length, and local efficiency of the PSD subjects was larger compared with the non-PSD subjects while the global efficiency of the PSD subjects was smaller than that of the non-PSD subjects. Conclusion The altered brain network properties associated with PSD in the cognitive task state were more distinct compared with the resting state, and the ability of the brain network to resist attack and transmit information was reduced in PSD patients in the task state. Significance This study demonstrated the feasibility and superiority of investigating brain network properties in the task state for the exploration of the pathogenesis and new diagnosis methods for PSD.

Abstract
It is testament to the advances of modern medicine that we have a population with more older people than ever before. While we are increasingly adept at managing their physical comorbidities, we have made relatively little progress in addressing the psychological impact of ageing. In this article we consider the prevalence and complex aetiology of depression in older people who often have to deal with profound loss, while simultaneously managing multiple comorbidities. We consider the challenges of diagnosing depression faced by healthcare professionals including access to resources and training, and what differentiates depression from socially appropriate low mood. Finally, we discuss treatment options and the difficulties that clinicians face when they have only limited resources and skills available, but a desire to help. We consider the role for antidepressants, and when not to prescribe, before addressing the challenges of providing talking therapies and social interventions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Aphasia is a common, long-lasting aftermath of stroke lesions. There is an increased integration of pharmacotherapy as an adjunctive strategy to speech and language therapy (SLT) for post-stroke aphasia (PSA). Nevertheless, more research in pharmacotherapy for acute and chronic PSA is necessary, including the election of drugs that target different neurotransmitter systems and deficits in specific language domains. AREAS COVERED This article updates the role of pharmacotherapy for PSA, focusing the spotlight on some already investigated drugs and candidate agents deserving of future research. Refining the precision of drug election would require using multimodal biomarkers to develop personalized treatment approaches. There is a solid need to devise feasible randomized controlled trials adapted to the particularities of the PSA population. The emergent role of multimodal interventions combining one or two drugs with noninvasive brain stimulation to augment SLT is emphasized. EXPERT OPINION Pharmacotherapy can improve language deficits not fully alleviated by SLT. In addition, the 'drug-only' approach can also be adopted when administering SLT is not possible. The primary goal of pharmacotherapy is reducing the overall aphasia severity, although targeting language-specific deficits (i.e. naming, spoken output) also contributes to improving functional communication. Unfortunately, there is still little information for recommending a drug for specific language deficits.

Abstract
This study examined the gender-specific association between stroke status and depression in South Korea. A total of 5,746 men and 7,608 women aged ≥30 years who participated in the 2014, 2016, and 2018 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were included in the analysis. The cross-sectional surveys targeted the general population consisting of nationally representative adults (≥19 years) residing in Korea. A 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire score of 10 or more was regarded as depression. A higher risk of depression in stroke survivors compared to the non-stroke population was not observed in men (odds ratio [OR], 1.51; 95% confidence intervals [CI], 0.82-2.81), while it was observed in women (OR, 2.49; 95% CI, 1.64-3.77). Compared to non-stroke women, women stroke survivors with a younger age at diagnosis (<60 years) (OR, 4.05; 95% CI, 2.28-7.20) and stroke with duration of ≥10 years (OR, 3.12; 95% CI, 1.63-5.97) had a higher risk for depression. Gender aspects should be more intensively considered in the association between stroke status and depression in community settings.

Abstract
Post-stroke depression (PSD) is one of the most common neuropsychiatric consequence of stroke, affecting cognitive function, recovery of somatic function, and patient survival. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether Chaihu-Shugan-San, a traditional Chinese medicine formula used clinically to treat depression, could improve symptoms in a rat model for PSD, to investigate the potential mechanisms, and to validate the findings in an in vitro oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) model. Male rats were subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and to chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS). The rats were then allocated to experimental groups (n = 15) that were treated with Chaihu-Shugan-San, a JAK-STAT3 inhibitor, a GSK3β overexpressing virus, or an empty virus (control). The subjects allocated to each group, as well as those that received no treatment and rats that did not undergo MCAO/CUMS, were then subjected to forced swimming, tail suspension, and sugar water preference tests, and their neurological deficit score was determined. Inflammatory factor levels and the expression of proteins related to the JAK/STAT3-GSK3β/PTEN/Akt pathway were measured, and the synaptic ultrastructure was observed using transmission electron microscopy. Flow cytometry showed microglia polarization towards the M1 phenotype in an in vitro PSD model, which was reversed after treatment with a GSK3β overexpression virus, Chaihu-Shugan-San, or a JAK-STAT3 inhibitor. The results showed that Chaihu-Shugan-San has a therapeutic effect on an in vivo model for PSD and can regulate microglia polarization through the activation of the JAK/STAT3-GSK3β/PTEN/Akt pathway, suggesting that it exerts its effect via the inhibition of neuroinflammation.

Abstract
AimTo evaluate the psychometric properties of the Post-Stroke Depression Scale in the Sequelae Stage (PSDS-SS).BackgroundThe incidence of the sequelae stage Post-Stroke Depression (PSD) is high, and the best screening tools are still lacking. Under this circumstances, our research team developed the PSDS-SS by Delphi method, but its psychometric properties need to be further verified.MethodThis was a cross-sectional study. Seven hundred and sixteen stroke patients in the sequelae stage were enrolled by purpose sampling from May 2022 to September 2022. The exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were used to verify the factor structure of the scale. The reliability of the scale was tested by Cronbach’s α coefficient, test–retest reliability and composite reliability. The validity of the scale was tested by criterion-related validity, convergent and discriminant validity.ResultEight items were deleted through item analysis. The EFA ended up with a 5-factor scale including 24 items after removing one item with low factor loading. Finally, a 21-item model was established by confirmatory factor analysis, and all the fit indexes were acceptable. The reliability and validity of the total scale and each factor are acceptable.ConclusionThe PSDS-SS has a stable factor structure, and demonstrated good reliability and validity. And it would be an effective tool to assess PSD in the sequelae stage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Trunk control plays a crucial role in the stroke rehabilitation, but it is unclear which factors could influence the trunk control after an intensive rehabilitation treatment. OBJECTIVES To study which demographic, clinical and functional variables could predict the recovery of trunk control after intensive post-stroke inpatient rehabilitation. METHODS Subjects with acute, first-ever stroke were enrolled and clinical and data were collected at admission and discharge. The primary outcome was considered the trunk control measured by the Trunk Control Test (TCT). The data were analyzed by a univariate and multivariate logistic regressions. RESULTS Two hundred forty-one post-stroke patients were included. All baseline variables significantly associated to TCT at discharge in the univariate analysis (i.e. gender, NIHSS neglect item at admission, presence of several complexity markers, TCT total score at admission, NIHSS total score, pre-stroke modified Rankin Scale, Fugl-Meyer Assessment motor and sensitivity score) were entered in the multivariate analysis. The multivariate regression showed that age (p = .003), admission NIHSS total score (p = .001), admission TCT total score (p < .001) and presence of depression (p = .027) independently influenced the TCT total score at discharge (R2 = 61.2%). CONCLUSIONS Age, admission neurological impairment (NIHSS total score), trunk control at the admission (TCT total score), and presence of depression independently influenced the TCT at discharge. These factors should be carefully assessed at the baseline to plan a tailoring rehabilitation treatment achieving the best trunk control performance at discharge.

Abstract
Depression and anxiety are highly prevalent in most neurological disorders and can have a major impact on the patient's disability and quality of life. However, mostly due to the heterogeneity of symptoms and the complexity of the underlying comorbidities, depression can be difficult to diagnose, resulting in limited recognition and in undertreatment. The early detection and treatment of depression simultaneously with the neurological disorder is key to avoiding deterioration and further disability. Although the neurologist should be able to identify and treat depression initially, a neuropsychiatry team should be available for severe cases and those who are unresponsive to treatment. Neurologists should be also aware that in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, different depression symptoms could develop at different stages of the disease. The treatment options for depression in neurological diseases include drugs, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and somatic interventions, among others, but often, the evidence-based efficacy is limited and the results are highly variable. Here, we review recent research on the diagnosis and treatment of depression in the context of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and strokes, with the aim of identifying common approaches and solutions for its initial management by the neurologist.

Abstract
Background Assessing hand sensation in stroke patients is necessary; however, current clinical assessments are time-consuming and inaccurate. Objective This study aimed to explore the nature of light touch sensation and two-point discrimination (2-PD) of different hand sites in convalescent stroke patients based on somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP). Methods Light touch sensation and 2-PD of the thumb, the index finger, the little finger, thenar, and hypothenar were measured (n = 112) using sensory measurement tools. Sensory differences among the hand sites were then compared. The correlation analysis between SEP and the hemiplegic hand function was made. Sensory functions were divided into three levels: sensory intactness, sensory impairment, and sensory loss. Results Light touch sensations were mainly associated with sensory impairment in the finger and palm region. The 2-PD of the finger region was mainly sensory loss and that of the palm region was mainly sensory impairment. There was no statistical difference in the light touch sensation among the sites of the hand. The correlation coefficients between the 2-PD and SEP N20 amplitudes differed. The correlation coefficients of the thenar and hypothenar were the smallest, and that of the finger was the largest. Light touch sensation and 2-PD in patients with stroke were related to the hemiplegic hand function. Conclusion Any site on the hand could be selected as the measurement site for light touch sensation. The little finger and hypothenar may be appropriate sites when screening for 2-PD. To improve the patient's recovery they could receive more sensory stimulation of the hand.

Abstract
Background Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a common psychiatric complication of mental disorders after stroke. Acupuncture for PSD is effective and has few adverse effects. As a classical complementary and alternative therapy, acupuncture is often used in combination with antidepressants for PSD. However, there is a wide variety of acupuncture therapies, and the efficacy of different acupuncture varies. In this study, a network meta-analysis (NMA) was used to assess the clinical efficacy of different acupuncture combined with antidepressants for the treatment of PSD. Methods A comprehensive search of PubMed, The Cochrane Library, EMbase, Web of Science, CNKI, CBM, VIP, and Wan-Fang databases for published randomized controlled trials of acupuncture combined with antidepressants for the treatment of PSD was conducted. The time frame for the literature search was from the date of database creation to April 30, 2022. The Cochrane risk of bias tool for randomized trials (RoB 2.0) was used to evaluate the bias risk of the included studies. Data analysis was performed by STATA 14.0 software. Results A total of 38 literatures with 2,898 patients involving nine acupuncture therapies were included. NMA results were as follows: moxibustion plus antidepressants had the best efficacy in terms of improving total effective rate. Conventional acupuncture plus antidepressants was the most effective in improving HAMD scores. In terms of improving SDS scores, acupressure plus antidepressants was the most effective. In terms of improving NIHSS scores, moxibustion plus antidepressants showed the best results. Conclusion A comparison of the efficacy indicators of the nine different acupuncture therapies combined showed that moxibustion plus antidepressants, conventional acupuncture plus antidepressants and acupressure plus antidepressants were superior in the treatment of PSD. Based on the shortcomings of the existing studies, this conclusion needs to be validated by additional high-quality randomized controlled trials.

Abstract
PURPOSE To examine the associations between physical activity and depressive symptoms in adults with stroke. DESIGN We conducted a cross-sectional study involving the data of 3234 adults with stroke obtained from the 2018 Basic Health Research (Riset Kesehatan Dasar, RISKESDAS). METHODS Physical activity level in metabolic equivalents-minutes per week were determined using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire according to the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines on physical activity and sedentary behavior recommendations. Depression was assessed using the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview. Multivariate binomial logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the predictive role of physical activity for depression after adjusting for confounders. RESULTS Adults with stroke who met the WHO recommendation of physical activity were independently and significantly associated with lower odds of depression after adjustment for confounders (adjusted OR = 0.757, p = 0.017). CONCLUSIONS Performing physical activity according to the WHO recommendation is associated with a lower likelihood of depression among Indonesian adults with stroke. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Clinicians should be informed by the findings of this study and prescribe exercise interventions or plan physical activities to optimize recovery and prevent poststroke depression.

Abstract
Introduction: Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a common mental health problem after cerebrovascular accidents. There are several treatments that have been shown to be effective in treating post-stroke depression. However, it is not clear which treatment is more effective. Methods: In this meta-analysis, an appropriate search strategy was used to search eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on different treatments to treat patients with Post-stroke depression published up to December 2021 from the CNKI, PubMed, and Cochrane Library. We assessed the mean difference or odds ratio between each treatment and placebo and summarized them as the average and 95% confidence interval (CI) by conducting Bayesian network meta-analyses. Results: By constructing a Bayesian network meta-analysis, we found that acupuncture combined with fluoxetine (vs placebo MD, -8.9; 95% CI, [-15, -2.9]) or paroxetine (vs placebo MD,-8.5; 95% CI, [-15, -2.5]) was the most effective for change in Hamilton depression scale (HAMD) at the end of the 4th week. For change in Hamilton depression scale at the end of the 8th week, rTMS combined with paroxetine (vs placebo MD, -13; 95% CI, [-17, -7.9]) had the greatest amount of change. The efficacy of medication combined with adjuvant therapy was also superior for the percentage of patients with Hamilton depression scale change over 50%. Discussion: The combination of antidepressants with adjuvant therapy may enhance the efficacy of antidepressants and achieve better results than antidepressant monotherapy in both Hamilton depression scale changes at the end of week 4 or 8 and 50% Hamilton depression scale improvement rate. Acupuncture combined with fluoxetine treatment was more effective in the treatment of post-stroke depression at week 4, while rTMS combined with paroxetine was more effective at week 8. Further research is needed to determine whether acupuncture combined with fluoxetine is better than rTMS combined with paroxetine for post-stroke depression at week 8.

Abstract
Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a biopsychosocial disorder that affects individuals who have suffered a stroke at any point. PSD has a 20 to 60 percent reported prevalence among stroke survivors. Its effects are usually adverse, can lead to disability, and may increase mortality if not managed or treated early. PSD is linked to several other medical conditions, including anxiety, hyper-locomotor activity, and poor functional recovery. Despite significant awareness of its adverse impacts, understanding the pathogenesis of PSD has proved challenging. The exact pathophysiology of PSD is unknown, yet its complexity has been definitively shown, involving mechanisms such as dysfunction of monoamine, the glutamatergic systems, the gut-brain axis, and neuroinflammation. The current effectiveness of PSD treatment is about 30-40 percent of all cases. In this review, we examined different pathophysiological mechanisms and current pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches for the treatment of PSD.

A pilot controlled trial of a combination of electroacupuncture and psychological intervention for post-stroke depression. Complement Ther Med 2022; 71:102899. [PMID: 36370991 DOI: 10.1016/j.ctim.2022.102899] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2022] [Revised: 10/20/2022] [Accepted: 11/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was to investigate effects of a combination of electroacupuncture (EA) and psychological intervention (PI) for post-stroke depression (PSD) and provide treatment suggestions METHODS: In a single-blind, randomized controlled trial, 49 patients with PSD were randomly divided into two groups, PI group (n = 23) and PI+EA group (n = 26). PI group received PI 2 times a week by a professional psychologist. In addition to PI treatment, PI+EA group was treated with EA at GB13 and HT7, 30 min, 5 times a week, 4 weeks as a course of treatment, a total of 12 weeks. The 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD-17) and Lo Knapp Ron J's sleep score table were measured before treatment, 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks after treatment. RESULTS After 12 weeks of PI or PI+EA therapy, 42 of 49 patients were effective and 7 were ineffective, with an effective rate of 85.7 %. Among them, the effective rate of PI group alone was 78.3 %, and the effective rate of PI+EA group was 92.3 %. Compared with values of PI, HAMD-17 values at 8 weeks of PI+EA treatment were significantly decreased (P < 0.01). At the same time, Sleep Score table was significantly decreased after PI+EA treatment (P < 0.05). Incidence of adverse events was not different in the two groups CONCLUSION: A combination of EA and PI maybe an effective and safe treatment option for PSD, which is statistically more significant than PI treatment alone. Due to small samples involved in this pilot study, further research is needed to see whether a combination of EA and PI will match the results of this pilot study.

Effects of Immersive Virtual Therapy as a Method Supporting Recovery of Depressive Symptoms in Post-Stroke Rehabilitation: Randomized Controlled Trial. Clin Interv Aging 2022; 17:1673-1685. [PMID: 36447623 PMCID: PMC9701456 DOI: 10.2147/cia.s375754] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2022] [Accepted: 10/25/2022] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Depressive symptoms constitute an important group of mental problems that alter the course of post-stroke rehabilitation by reducing quality of life, physical activity, social functioning, and interpersonal relationships. Although several studies have shown the efficacy of virtual reality (VR) in the motor treatment of poststroke patients, there is a lack of studies that would also evaluate the impact of VR on psychological aspects. Thus, we investigated the effectiveness of immersive VR therapy on both functional activity and depressive symptoms in stroke survivors. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a single blind, randomized controlled trial comparing VR therapy with Schultz's Autogenic Training (SAT). Patients randomized to the VR group received treatment in an immersive VR therapeutic garden with elements of psychotherapy and physical activity of the upper extremities, whereas patients in the control group received SAT. Additionally, patients in both groups received standard neurological rehabilitation. The full research cycle lasted six weeks. We used Geriatric Depression Scale, Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale, Acceptance of Illness Scale, Visual Analogue Scale of pain, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Barthel Index, Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale and Rivermead Motor Assessment for outcome assessment. This trial was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03830372). RESULTS We assessed 60 patients and randomly assigned to the VR or control group. The VR group showed a significant reduction in depressive symptoms (ηp2 = 0.13, p < 0.01) compared to SAT. The applied VR therapy significantly increased the sense of self-efficacy and the level of acceptance of the illness; however, this effect was similar to that obtained with the standard intervention. We did not observe statistically significant changes in the functional parameters of post-stroke patients. CONCLUSION The use of VR therapy combined with neurological rehabilitation had a positive effect on improving mood and reducing depressive symptoms in post-stroke patients.

Abstract
(1) Background: The aim of this systematic review focused on analyzing the impact of depression on the functional outcome of the elderly stroke victim and how this disorder affects both the female and the male population. (2) Methods: We conducted a systematic review using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The review was registered in PROSPERO (ID 346284). The systematic search for clinical trials was performed in the databases Pubmed, Otseeker, Scopus, Web of Science, Psycinfo, Medline Complete, ScienceDirect, SciELO, and Dialnet. Articles were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, including those dealing with post-stroke depression in adults whose psychological status had changed. Studies that only assessed the psychological state of caregivers were excluded. (3) Results: In total, 609 articles were identified, of which 11 randomized controlled trials were finally included in the review. The results indicate that post-stroke depression influences the recovery of functionality and quality of life. In addition, the need to detect the mood of the adult population after the stroke and to provide individualized treatment according to the characteristics of the person is highlighted. (4) Conclusions: This systematic review shows how early detection of post-stroke depressive symptoms can improve the degree of disability and quality of life of the person, especially in women.

Abstract
Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a common complication after stroke. PSD is associated with emotional disorders and psychological dependence, which are potential risk factors for stroke recurrence and suicidality. This study aimed to perform an umbrella review of therapies for PSD through a comprehensive literature search. A systematic search was conducted in the PubMed and Web of Science by two independent authors. We examined the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), Activities of daily living (ADL), Neurologic function as efficacy endpoints, and the incidence of adverse events as safety profiles. Seventeen eligible studies, including 267 clinical trials were included in this study. The results showed that High-Frequency Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (HfrTMS), Acupuncture/EA+conventional treatment, Escitalopram, Modified Sini San, Moxibustion, Xiaoyao Formula, Paroxetine, Chinese herbal medicine, Exercise, Citalopram, and Cognitive behavioral therapy are beneficial for improving the depression symptoms of patients with PSD. HfrTMS and Sertraline may have an impact on slowing the scores of activities of daily living or neurologic function. In addition, Acupuncture/EA+conventional, Escitalopram, Citalopram, Sertraline, and Fluoxetine showed no serious adverse events in PSD patients. Our study demonstrated that 11 treatment methods can effectively improve the condition of PSD patients.

Inhibitory Effectiveness in Delayed-Rectifier Potassium Current Caused by Vortioxetine, Known to Be a Novel Antidepressant. Biomedicines 2022; 10:biomedicines10061318.

Abstract
Vortioxetine (VOR) is recognized to exert antidepressant actions. However, whether this drug modifies ionic currents in excitable cells remains unclear. The aim of this study was to explore the electrophysiological effects of VOR and other related compounds in pituitary GH3 cells and in Neuro-2a cells. VOR suppressed the delayed-rectifier K+ current (IK(DR)) in a concentration-, time-, and state-dependent manner. Effective IC50 values needed to inhibit peak and sustained IK(DR) were computed to be 31.2 and 8.5 μM, respectively, while the KD value estimated from minimal binding scheme was 7.9 μM. Cell exposure to serotonin (10 μM) alone failed to alter IK(DR), while fluoxetine (10 μM), a compound structurally similar to VOR, mildly suppressed current amplitude. In continued presence of VOR, neither further addition of propranolol nor risperidone reversed VOR-mediated inhibition of IK(DR). Increasing VOR concentration not only depressed IK(DR) conductance but also shifted toward the hyperpolarized potential. As the VOR concentration was raised, the recovery of IK(DR) block became slowed. The IK(DR) activated by a downsloping ramp was suppressed by its presence. The inhibition of IK(DR) by a train pulse was enhanced during exposure to VOR. In Neuro-2a cells, this drug decreased IK(DR). Overall, inhibitory effects of VOR on ionic currents might constitute another underlying mechanism of its actions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Homocysteine (Hcy) has been confirmed to be associated with depression, but its relationship with poststroke depression (PSD) remains controversial. So far, there is no meta-analysis of the correlation between Hcy level in acute stroke and PSD. METHODS A systematic search of a sub-database of studies reporting the level of Hcy in the acute phase of ischemic stroke and PSD as of November 2021 was performed. Data extraction was performed strictly according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. All data were analyzed using STATA 11.0. The standardized root mean square difference (SMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to compare continuous variables. RESULTS A total of 11 studies were included in this study, including 2789 participants. The results of this meta-analysis showed that admission the levels of Hcy were significantly higher in PSD survivors, compared to non-PSD survivors (SMD = 0.37, 95%CI = 0.07-0.66, P < .001). Subgroup analysis showed that survivors with PSD diagnosed more than 3 months after stroke had significantly different the levels of from non-PSD survivors (6 months: SMD = 0.61, 95%CI = 0.40-0.82, 9 months: SMD = 1.00, 95%CI = 0.59-1.41). CONCLUSION The level of Hcy in the acute phase of ischemic stroke is a risk factor for PSD.

Abstract
Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death and as healthcare intervention improves, the number of stroke survivors has also increased. Furthermore, there exists a subgroup of younger adults, who suffer stroke and survive. Given the overall improved survival rate, bettering our understanding of long-term stroke outcomes is critical. In this review we will explore the causes and challenges of known long-term consequences of stroke and if present, their corresponding sex differences in both old and young survivors. We have separated these long-term post-stroke consequences into three categories: mobility and muscle weakness, memory and cognitive deficits, and mental health and mood. Lastly, we discuss the potential of common preclinical stroke models to contribute to our understanding of long-term outcomes following stroke.

Post-stroke depression (PSD) is the most common and serious sequelae of stroke. Approximately 33% of stroke survivors were affected by PSD. However, many issues (e.g., incidence, diagnostic marker, and risk factor) related to PSD remained unclear. The "monoamine hypothesis" is a significant hypothesis for depression, which suggests that three monoamines play a key role in depression. Therefore, most current antidepressants are developed to modulate the monoamines on PSD treatment, and these antidepressants have good effects on patients with PSD. However, the potential mechanisms of three monoamines in PSD are still unclear. Previously, we proposed "three primary emotions," which suggested a new model of basic emotions based on the three monoamines. It may provide a new way for PSD treatment. In addition, recent studies have found that monoamine-related emotional intervention also showed potential effects in the treatment and prevention of PSD. This study discusses these issues and attempts to provide a prospect for future research on PSD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Vortioxetine is a multimodal-acting antidepressant that provides improvements on cognitive function aside from antidepressants and anxiolytic effects. Vortioxetine has been found to be one of the most effective and best tolerated options for major depressive disorder (MDD) in head-to-head trials. AREAS COVERED The present review intends to gather the most relevant and pragmatic data of vortioxetine in MDD, specially focusing on new studies that emerged between 2015 and 2020. EXPERT OPINION Vortioxetine is the first antidepressant that has shown improvements both in depression and cognitive symptoms, due to the unique multimodal mechanism of action that combine the 5-HT reuptake inhibition with modulations of other key pre- and post-synaptic 5-HT receptors (agonism of 5-HT1A receptor, partial agonism of 5-HT1B receptor, and antagonism of 5-HT3, 5-HT1D and 5-HT7 receptors). This new mechanism of action can explain the dose-dependent effect and can be responsible for its effects on cognitive functioning and improved tolerability profile. Potential analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties observed in preclinical studies as well as interesting efficacy and tolerability results of clinical studies with specific target groups render it a promising therapeutic option for patients with MDD and concomitant conditions (as menopause symptoms, pain, inflammation, apathy, sleep and/or metabolic abnormalities).

Abstract
Objective To compare selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and nootropic drugs in the reduction of anxiety and depressive symptoms in post-stroke patients. Methods This retrospective cohort study included patients diagnosed with post-stroke depression that were treated with either SSRIs or nootropic drugs (i.e. citicoline or choline alphoscerate). Depression and anxiety were assessed using the Hamilton Rating Scales. Statistical associations between the use of nootropic drugs and mood disorder improvements were determined by measuring assessment scores at 6-months. Results A total of 44 post-stroke patients with depression (aged 45–75 years) were enrolled in the study: 20 were treated with SSRIs and 24 received nootropic drugs. From baseline to follow-up, the SSRI group showed a large effect size with regard depression (success rate difference [SRD] 0.57; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.21, 0.79) and anxiety (SRD 0.49; 95% CI 0.14, 0.74), whereas the nootropic group showed a small effect size for depression (SRD 0.16; 95% CI –0.17, 0.46) and a small effect size for anxiety (SRD 0.36; 95% CI –0.03, 0.62). Conclusion The administration of nootropic drugs could be a valid therapeutic strategy to manage post-stroke patients suffering from mild–moderate anxiety or anxious-depressive syndrome, but this requires further research.

Abstract
A review of works devoted to the problem of psychopharmacotherapy of depression in general medical practice is presented. The issues of its comorbidity with somatic and neurological diseases, as well as multimorbidity are discussed. Both direct and side-effects of antidepressants, which are important for effective therapy of not only affective disorders proper, but also the symptoms of the leading pathology, are considered in detail for individual organs and systems. The analysis of the preferred pharmacological classes of antidepressants, which are drugs of first choice, taking into account the somatic condition of the patient, is carried out, and drugs are indicated, the appointment of which is undesirable for the treatment of a patient with a certain disease. The presented results are aimed both at increasing the efficiency of therapy for patients with general medical level of health care, and at increasing the safety of treatment of psychiatric patients with concomitant somatic disorders.

Abstract
Background Poststroke social isolation could worsen poststroke depression and dampen neurogenesis. (R,S)-ketamine has antidepressant and neuroprotective effects; however, its roles and mechanisms in social isolation–mediated depressive-like behaviors and sensorimotor recovery remain unclear. Methods Mice were subjected to transient middle cerebral artery occlusion, and then were pair-housed with ovariectomized female mice or were housed isolated (ISO) starting at 3 days postischemia. ISO mice received 2 weeks of (R,S)-ketamine treatment starting at 14 days postischemia. Primary ependymal epithelial cells and choroid plexus epithelial cells were cultured and treated with recombinant human atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) protein. Results The poststroke social isolation model was successfully established using middle cerebral artery occlusion combined with poststroke isolation, as demonstrated by a more prominent depression-like phenotype in ISO mice compared with pair-housed mice. (R,S)-ketamine reversed ISO-mediated depressive-like behaviors and increased ANP levels in the atrium. The depression-like phenotype was negatively correlated with ANP levels in both the atrium and plasma. Atrial GLP-1 and GLP-1 receptor signaling was essential to the promoting effects of (R,S)-ketamine on the synthesis and secretion of ANP from the atrium in ISO mice. (R,S)-ketamine also increased ANP and TGF-β1 levels in the choroid plexus of ISO mice. Recombinant human ANP increased TGF-β1 levels in both the primarily cultured ependymal epithelial cells and choroid plexus epithelial cells. Furthermore, (R,S)-ketamine increased TGF-β1 levels in the ischemic hemisphere and promoted striatal neurogenesis and sensorimotor recovery via ANP in ISO mice. Conclusions (R,S)-ketamine alleviated poststroke ISO-mediated depressive-like behaviors and thus promoted striatal neurogenesis and sensorimotor recovery via ANP.

Abstract
Background: Post-stroke depression (PSD) is the most common mood disorder following stroke and is also the main factor that limits the recovery and rehabilitation of patients with stroke. The prevalence of PSD is ~30%. Since there is no gold standard for the diagnosis and evaluation of PSD, it is important to raise awareness of PSD and to establish methods for its evaluation, early diagnosis, and treatment. In the field of psychiatry, functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) has been used as a diagnostic tool for the measurement of oxygenated hemoglobin (oxy-Hb). This study aimed to assess whether fNIRS could be applied in the diagnosis and evaluation of PSD. Methods: We recruited 45 patients with stroke, who were admitted to Nagasaki Kita Hospital between May 2015 and April 2019. The 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD17), which is considered to be a useful screening and evaluation tool for PSD, was used for the assessment of patients after stroke; moreover, oxy-Hb was measured in the pre-frontal cortex. The subjects were divided into two groups: the depressed group (n = 13) and the non-depressed group (n = 32). We evaluated the correlation between the oxy-Hb integral values and HAMD17 scores. Results: We investigated the relationship between the oxy-Hb integral values and HAMD17 total scores, and found a negative correlation between them (ρ = −0.331, P < 0.005). There was a significant difference in the oxy-Hb integral values during the activation task period between the depressed and non-depressed groups (3.16 ± 2.7 and 1.71 ± 2.4, respectively; P = 0.040). The results indicated that the patients of the depressed group showed lower oxy-Hb integral values and lower activation in the frontal lobe in comparison with the patients of the non-depressed group. Conclusion: The present study highlights that the measurement of oxy-Hb by using fNIRS is a useful methodology for the diagnosis of PSD in patients after stroke.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-stroke depression (PSD) is the most common mental health issue, affecting approximately 33% of stroke survivors. Tuina and acupuncture treatments are often combined to treat PSD; however, there has been no meta-analysis on their synergistic effect. Therefore, we aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the effectiveness of Tuina and acupuncture in PSD treatment. METHODS The following electronic databases will be searched: PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of Science, Medline, CNKI, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, VIP, and Wan Fang databases. We will consider articles published between database initiation and April 2021. Clinical randomized controlled trials related to Tuina combined with acupuncture for post-stroke depression will be included in the study. Language is limited to Chinese and English. Research selection, data extraction, and research quality assessment were independently completed by 2 researchers. Data were synthesized using a fixed effect model or random effect model, depending on the heterogeneity test. The Hamilton depression rating scale (HDRS) and effective rate were the primary outcomes. The post-stroke depression rating scale (PSDRS), patient health questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and the incidence of adverse events will also be assessed as secondary outcomes. RevMan V.5.4 statistical software will be used for meta-analysis. If it is not appropriate for a meta-analysis, a descriptive analysis will be conducted. Data synthesis uses the risk ratio and the standardized or weighted average difference of continuous data to represent the results. RESULTS This study provides a high-quality synthesis to assess the effectiveness and safety of Tuina for post-stroke depression. CONCLUSION This systematic review will provide evidence to determine whether Tuina plus acupuncture is an effective and safe intervention for patients with post-stroke depression. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The protocol of the systematic review does not require ethical approval because it does not involve humans. This article will be published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at relevant conferences. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION INPLASY202140098.

Abstract
Background Ketamine has been shown to possess lasting antidepressant properties. However, studies of the mechanisms involved in its effects on poststroke depression are nonexistent. Methods To investigate these mechanisms, Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with a single local dose of ketamine after middle cerebral artery occlusion and chronic unpredicted mild stress. The effects on the hippocampal dentate gyrus were analyzed through assessment of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor/calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (NMDAR/CaMKII) pathway, synaptic plasticity, and behavioral tests. Results Ketamine administration rapidly exerted significant and lasting improvements of depressive symptoms. The biochemical analysis showed rapid, selective upregulation and downregulation of the NMDAR2-β and NMDAR2-α subtypes as well as their downstream signaling proteins β-CaMKII and α-phosphorylation in the dentate gyrus, respectively. Furthermore, the colocalization analysis indicated a significant and selectively increased conjunction of β-CaMKII and postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD95) coupled with a notable decrease in NMDAR2-β association with PSD95 after ketamine treatment. These changes translated into significant and extended synaptic plasticity in the dentate gyrus. Conclusions These findings not only suggest that ketamine represents a viable candidate for the treatment of poststroke depression but also that ketamine's lasting antidepressant effects might be achieved through modulation of NMDAR/CaMKII-induced synaptic plasticity in key brain regions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Poststroke depression is a common secondary mental disorder after stroke, which increases the recurrence rate and mortality rate after stroke and hinders the recovery of function. As a combination therapy, simple acupuncture combined with fluoxetine has achieved good clinical effect, but there is a lack of evidence-based medicine. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of acupuncture combined with fluoxetine in the treatment of poststroke depression by meta-analysis. METHODS Search Chinese and English databases: China national knowledge infrastructure, VP information Chinese Journal Service Platform, Wanfang, the China Biomedical Database, PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and web of science. A randomized controlled trial of simple acupuncture combined with fluoxetine in the treatment of poststroke depression will be selected. The retrieval time is of the establishment of the database in January 2021. Selected literature is extracted and deleted by 2 researchers, and the quality of the included literature is evaluated. The included literature is analyzed by Meta with RevMan5.3 software. RESULTS In this study, the efficacy and safety of acupuncture combined with fluoxetine in the treatment of post-stroke depression are evaluated by Hamilton Depression scale (HAMD) and its reduction rate, Treatment Emergency Symptom Scale, Self-rating Depression Scale, and Activities of Daily living scale. CONCLUSION This study will provide reliable evidence-based evidence for the clinical application of acupuncture combined with fluoxetine in the treatment of post-stroke depression.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the association between poststroke depression (PSD) and psychological crisis in patients who have experienced a stroke within 6 months. Methods This was a retrospective cross-sectional study that enrolled patients within 6 months after stroke onset. The investigators reviewed medical charts to obtain patients' baseline characteristics, and a psychologist evaluated each patient for depression using the Taiwanese Depression Questionnaire (TDQ) and for psychological crisis using the Triage Assessment System (TAS). A generalized linear model (GLM) was used to analyze the association between the results of the TDQ and TAS. Results Ninety-seven patients with stroke were included. Age (p = 0.003), time since onset of stroke (p = 0.041), diabetes mellitus (p = 0.004), hypertension (p = 0.016), heart disease (p = 0.005), and TDQ score were significantly different between the hemorrhagic stroke group and the ischemic stroke group. The TDQ score was significantly lower in the hemorrhagic stroke group (p = 0.012). The TDQ score was associated with the TAS total score and each domain score, and the presence of heart disease was associated with poorer TAS score in the behavioral domain (p = 0.016). Conclusion PSD is likely an important component of psychological crisis in stroke patients. For clinicians, a comprehensive psychologic evaluation is necessary to optimize treatment.

Abstract
Memantine is used in Alzheimer's disease treatment as a non-competitive modern-affinity strong voltage-dependent N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist. The fundamental role of these receptors is to bind glutamate: the main excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain, believed to play a crucial role in neuronal plasticity and learning mechanisms. Glutamate transmission plays an important role in all internal CNS structures and maintains the physiological state of the brain. Excessive glutamate transmission can lead to enlarged calcium ion current which may cause neurotoxicity; however, insufficient transmission can drastically alter the information flow in neurons and the brain, potentially causing schizophrenia-like symptoms by replacing lost information with completely new stimuli. Hence, it is possible that the modulation of NMDA activity may give rise to pathophysiological states. Available literature and clinical trials indicate that memantine is well tolerated by patients, with very few and light side effects. There is a belief that memantine may also benefit other conditions such as schizophrenia and depression.

Abstract
Stroke causes many forms of disability, including emotional and mood disorders. Depression is the most common of these, affecting approximately one-third of stroke patients. Other disorders like mania, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorder, or apathy may also develop following stroke, although they are less common. The development of mood and emotional disorders is dependent on the severity of brain injury, the side of injury, and hemispheric location. Whereas a left hemispheric stroke often results in depression or a catastrophic reaction with anxiety, injury to the right hemisphere has predominantly been associated with the development of emotional indifference (anosodiaphoria) or euphoria. In this chapter, we discuss the mood disorders associated with hemispheric strokes and the neuropsychological mechanisms that might account for the clinical manifestations of these affective disorders.

BACKGROUND Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a common complication after stroke. Ganoderic acid A (GAA), one of the main bioactive Ganoderma triterpenoids, exerts preventive and therapeutic effects in many diseases. However, the function of GAA in PSD has not been well studied. METHODS PSD model was established via stimulating rats with chronic unpredictable mild stress stimulations (CUMS) after middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Rats were treated with GAA before CUMS. Depressive-like behaviors were investigated by body weight alteration, open field test (OFT), and sucrose preference test (SPT). Neuronal damage was evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and Western blotting. Inflammation was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Microglial polarization was analyzed via qRT-PCR and Western blotting. The extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)/cAMP-response element-binding protein (CREB) pathway was analyzed by Western blotting, and inactivated by the inhibitor PD98059 (PD). RESULTS GAA attenuated PSD-induced depressive-like behaviors in rats. GAA mitigated PSD-induced neuronal damage and reduced BDNF and NGF levels in the cerebral hippocampus. GAA weakened PSD-induced inflammatory response in the cerebral hippocampus. GAA prevented pro-inflammatory (M1) polarization and promoted anti-inflammatory (M2) polarization, as indicated by decreased iNOS and CD86 levels and increased Arg-1 and CD206 levels. GAA restored the PSD-induced inactivation of the ERK/CREB pathway. GAA regulated M1/M2 microglial polarization by activating the ERK/CREB pathway. CONCLUSION GAA alleviated the depressive-like behaviors and brain inflammation in PSD rats, indicating its potential for PSD therapy.

Abstract
Objective We conducted a narrative review to investigate whether antidepressant therapy, including the use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) or the use of supportive drugs (i.e., citicoline or choline alfoscerate) as a substitute for antidepressant therapy, reduces depression in patients with cerebrovascular diseases. Methods A systematic search of the PubMed and Web of Science databases was performed, including review articles and other studies to identify additional citations. Only 4 of 1566 publications met the inclusion/exclusion criteria and were selected. Results Studies showed that post-stroke depression (PSD) could be treated with antidepressant therapy, as well as supportive drugs such as citicoline or choline alfoscerate, which may have antidepressant effects. Conclusions The findings support the efficacy of citicoline as a treatment for depression. Studies aimed to discover the characteristics of these psychostimulants in relation to PSD treatment should be performed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-stroke depression (PSD) is common and associated with higher mortality, poorer recovery, more pronounced cognitive deficits, and lower quality of life than is stroke without depression. This manuscript will conduct an updated, comprehensive and clinically-useful review of the risk factors, pathophysiology, assessment, prevention, and treatment of PSD. METHODS This narrative review summarizes articles obtained on PubMed, Medline, EMBase, Google Scholar and the Cochrane Database. This review prioritized articles with a more robust level of evidence, such as original articles with longitudinal data and/or larger samples, randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, and metaanalyses. RESULTS One hundred twenty-four articles were reviewed, of which 44 (35%) were published before 2016 and 80 (65%) that were published since 2016. DISCUSSION Rates of PSD range from 18 to 33%, yet it is vastly underdiagnosed and undertreated. Risk factors for PSD include female sex, history of psychiatric illness, large or multiple strokes, injuries in frontal/anterior areas or in the basal ganglia, stroke occurrence within the past year, poor social support, and pronounced disability. The pathophysiology of PSD is multifactorial and likely involves decreased levels of monoamines, abnormal neurotrophic response, increased inflammation with dysregulation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, and glutamate-mediated excitotoxicity. The evidence for preventive interventions for PSD is somewhat inconsistent and modest. The best treatment for PSD consists of the combination of pharmacological, psychosocial and stroke-focused interventions. CONCLUSION PSD is a common, treatable condition that is associated with several negative outcomes. Early detection and proper management are critical to obtain better outcomes in individuals with PSD.

An iPad application-based intervention for improving post-stroke depression symptoms in a convalescent rehabilitation ward: A pilot randomized controlled clinical trial protocol. Internet Interv 2020; 21:100340.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a neuropsychiatric sequela that causes serious adverse effects on the prognosis of stroke patients. Our developed iPad application is a very innovative approach designed to improve participants' depressive symptoms by presenting positive words stimuli in a video. Although this application has fewer side effects than existing pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions and is likely less burdensome for patients and caregivers, its efficacy for PSD has not been investigated. Here we present a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) protocol to investigate the therapeutic potential of this application intervention for PSD patients. METHODS This study is designed as a 5-week, single-center, open-label, parallel-group, pilot RCT. Thirty-two patients with PSD will be randomly assigned to a combination of the iPad application and usual rehabilitation or usual rehabilitation alone (1:1 allocation ratio). The iPad application intervention lasts 3 min a day, and the usual rehabilitation lasts 3 h a day. The primary outcome is the change from baseline in The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale score at the end of the 5-week intervention. DISCUSSION This pilot RCT is the first study to investigate the potential of iPad application interventions to reduce depressive symptoms in PSD patients. This pilot RCT determines whether this is a viable and effective intervention and informs the design for a full-scale trial. If our hypothesis is correct, this trial can provide evidence to augment the standard practice of iPad application interventions to improve depressive symptoms in patients with PSD.
