[PMID: 34117671 DOI: 10.1111/hel.12824] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2021] [Revised: 05/02/2021] [Accepted: 05/04/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Depressive disorder is a major psychiatric illness, and a disturbed brain-gut-microbiome axis may contribute to its pathophysiology. Chronic Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infections are common in the general population and using multiple antibiotics is required for its eradication, which is associated with gut dysbiosis and may lead to depression. We aimed to evaluate the risk of psychiatrist-diagnosed depression in patients with peptic ulcer diseases (PUD) receiving anti-H. pylori therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We collected data from the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) in Taiwan on PUD patients undergoing antibiotic treatment for H. pylori infection; patients and controls were matched for age, sex, income, level of urbanization, and comorbidities. RESULTS Of the 1 million beneficiaries in the NHIRD, we identified 7087 patients for inclusion in the eradication cohort and 7087 matched non-eradication controls with PUD. Antibiotic therapy is associated with a short-term (<30 days) increase in the incidence of psychiatrist-diagnosed depressive disorder (p = 0.009, after multiple comparisons with Bonferroni correction) in the eradication cohort compared with the controls. Female (OR: 4.55, 95% CI: 1.53-13.48) PUD patients were more likely to display an increased risk of depression within 30 days after eradication therapy. Clarithromycin use was related to an elevated likelihood (OR: 3.14, 95% CI: 1.45-6.80) of subsequent depressive disorder within 30 days after eradication therapy. CONCLUSIONS Antibiotic eradication treatment for H. pylori infection is associated with a significant short-term (less than 30 days) increase in the incidence of psychiatrist-diagnosed depressive disorder, which can be overlooked by gastroenterologists and general practitioners.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is important to understand the most diverse cultural aspects related to religiosity. Scientifically, it is important to understand religious manifestations and their relation to health, and to differentiate them from psychopathological manifestations. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the mental health of a group of mediums and compare it with that of a control group from the same religious context who do not manifest mediumship, using the Dissociative Disorders Interview Schedule (DDIS). METHODS This was a cross-sectional study, evaluating 47 mediums (Group 1) and comparing them with 22 non-medium volunteers from the same religious context (Group 2) using the DDIS questionnaire. All results were matched with historical data from patients with dissociative identity disorder (DID) who answered the DDIS. RESULTS Scores obtained from the DDIS were similar in both groups. The number of positive symptoms was comparable in a wide range of analyzed areas, involving but not being restricted to somatization disorder, major depressive episode, borderline personality disorder, extrasensory/paranormal experiences, physical/sexual abuse and five dissociative disorders. There were considerable differences when we compared these results with historical data from patients with DID. CONCLUSION In agreement with the extant literature, these results showed that mediumship can be considered a non-pathological form of dissociative phenomena.

Abstract
It is not surprising to find microbiome abnormalities present in psychiatric disorders such as depressive disorders, bipolar disorders, etc. Evolutionary pressure may provide an existential advantage to the host eukaryotic cells in that it survives in an extracellular environment containing non-self cells (e.g., bacteria). This phenomenon is both positive and negative, as with other intercellular processes. In this specific case, the phenomenal amount of information gained from combined bacterial genome could enhance communication between self and non-self cells. This can be coupled to both pathological processes and healthy ones. In this review, we chose to examine potential associated disorders that may be coupled to the microbiome, from the perspective of their bidirectional communication with eukaryotic cells in the gut. Cognition, being the newest neural networking functionality to evolve, consumes a good amount of organismic energy, 30% of which arises from the gut flora. Furthermore, the mammalian gut is highly innervated and has a highly developed immune component, reflecting brain complexity. The brain-gut axis uses similar molecular messengers as the brain, which affects bacterial processes as well. Thus, any modification of normal bacterial processes may manifest itself in altered behavior/cognition, originating from the gut. The origin of some disorders associated with this bidirectional communication may be harnessed to restore normal functioning.

Abstract
The side effects of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication treatment are few, usually in the form of gastrointestinal or allergic complaints. However, occasionally, some antibiotics including clarithromycin, included in the classic eradication regimen, may result in reversible psychosis, a condition called "antibiomania" or "Hoigne syndrome".

Abstract
Clinical usage of several classes of antibiotics is associated with moderate to severe side effects due to the promotion of mitochondrial dysfunction. We contend that this may be due to perturbation of unique evolutionary relationships that link selective biochemical and molecular aspects of mitochondrial biology to conserved enzymatic processes derived from bacterial progenitors. Operationally, stereo-selective conformational matching between mitochondrial respiratory complexes, cytosolic and nuclear signaling complexes appears to support the conservation of a critically important set of chemical messengers required for existential regulation of homeostatic cellular processes. Accordingly, perturbation of normative mitochondrial function by select classes of antibiotics is certainly reflective of the high degree of evolutionary pressure designed to maintain ongoing bidirectional signaling processes between cellular compartments. These issues are of critical importance in evaluating potentially severe side effects of antibiotics on complex behavioral functions mediated by CNS neuronal groups. The CNS is extremely dependent on delivery of molecular oxygen for maintaining a required level of metabolic activity, as reflected by the high concentration of neuronal mitochondria. Thus, it is not surprising to find several distinct behavioral abnormalities conforming to established psychiatric criteria that are associated with antibiotic usage in humans. The manifestation of acute and/or chronic psychiatric conditions following antibiotic usage may provide unique insights into key etiological factors of major psychiatric syndromes that involve rundown of cellular bioenergetics via mitochondrial dysfunction. Thus, a potential window of opportunity exists for development of novel therapeutic agents targeting diminished mitochondrial function as a factor in severe behavioral disorders.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori infects half the global population. Because serious complications can result from this infection, a so-called "triple therapy" is recommended: treatment with a proton-pump inhibitor and clarithromycin, along with amoxicillin or metronidazole. Although these antibiotics have been associated with neuropsychiatric symptoms, it is difficult to disentangle the effects of antibiotics from the effects of acute infections that may precipitate acute neuropsychiatric symptoms. Study of patients with chronic H. pylori infections who undergo antibiotic treatment may provide a clearer view of the associations between acute neuropsychiatric symptoms and antibiotics. The literature concerning this association in patients with H. pylori has not been reviewed. We therefore undertook a review of MEDLINE and postmarket surveillance data concerning this issue and identified 25 cases. Postmarket data indicated that gastrointestinal symptoms were the most commonly reported adverse reactions, followed by neurological adverse reactions; neuropsychiatric symptoms were less commonly reported, with variable and nonspecific terminology used to describe them. More specific, yet still variable terminology was found in the literature. Anxiety, delirium, dissociation, mania, and psychosis were reported, with approximately half of these neuropsychiatric symptoms occurring without symptoms of delirium. The use of standardized neuropsychiatric symptom rating scales and the Confusion Assessment Method for monitoring adverse reactions may improve our knowledge of neuropsychiatric symptoms and their association with antibiotics and thus mitigate underreporting. Physicians should remain alert to the possibility that neuropsychiatric symptoms may occur during antibiotic treatment of H. pylori and recognize that rapid resolution typically occurs with discontinuation of the antibiotics.

Abstract
Mitochondria and chloroplasts represent endosymbiotic models of complex organelle development, driven by intense evolutionary pressure to provide exponentially enhanced ATP-dependent energy production functionally linked to cellular respiration and photosynthesis. Within the realm of translational medicine, it has become compellingly evident that mitochondrial dysfunction, resulting in compromised cellular bioenergetics, represents a key causative factor in the etiology and persistence of major diseases afflicting human populations. As a pathophysiological consequence of enhanced oxygen utilization that is functionally uncoupled from the oxidative phosphorylation of ADP, significant levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) may be generated within mitochondria and chloroplasts, which may effectively compromise cellular energy production following prolonged stress/inflammatory conditions. Empirically determined homologies in biochemical pathways, and their respective encoding gene sequences between chloroplasts and mitochondria, suggest common origins via entrapped primordial bacterial ancestors. From evolutionary and developmental perspectives, the elucidation of multiple biochemical and molecular relationships responsible for errorless bioenergetics within mitochondrial and plastid complexes will most certainly enhance the depth of translational approaches to ameliorate or even prevent the destructive effects of multiple disease states. The selective choice of discussion points contained within the present review is designed to provide theoretical bases and translational insights into the pathophysiology of human diseases from a perspective of dysregulated mitochondrial bioenergetics with special reference to chloroplast biology.
