Abstract
BACKGROUND Individuals with a history of depression/depressive symptoms are suspected to be at increased risk of incident inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). METHODS We systematically searched MEDLINE/PubMed, Embase, and Scopus databases for longitudinal studies examining the association between depression/depressive symptoms and subsequent new-onset IBD (ie, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis). We included studies in which the exposure was a confirmed diagnosis of depression/depressive symptoms measured through a validated scale. To limit concerns of diagnostic bias and reverse causality, and support temporality between exposure and outcomes, we synthesized estimates corresponding to the longest time lag reported. Two authors extracted study data independently and assessed each study's risk of bias. Maximally adjusted relative risk (RR) estimates were synthesized using random- and fixed-effects models. RESULTS Of 5307 records, 13 studies (8 cohort and 5 nested case-control studies; 9 million individuals) fulfilled the eligibility criteria. Depression was significantly associated with incident Crohn's disease (RRrandom, 1.17; 95% confidence interval, 1.02-1.34; 7 studies, 17 676 cases) and ulcerative colitis (RRrandom, 1.21; 95% confidence interval, 1.10-1.33; 6 studies, 28 165 cases). The primary studies considered pertinent confounders. Several years, on average, separated exposure and outcomes. No evidence of important heterogeneity or publication bias was found. Summary estimates were at low risk of bias, and results were confirmed in multiple sensitivity analyses. No firm conclusions could be drawn regarding a dilution of the association over time. CONCLUSIONS Individuals with a history of depression may show small-to-moderate increased risk of IBD even when depression is diagnosed several years before new-onset IBD. Further epidemiological and mechanistic studies should clarify whether these associations are causal.

Abstract
We aimed to compare the clinical efficacy of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) from the same sex on ulcerative colitis (UC) patients. A total of 272 UC patients were selected in the prospective clinical study, which incorporated four distinct groups, each comprising male and female patients, who were either receiving FMT or placebo, respectively. FMT was performed by sending the gut microbiota of healthy female or male adolescents to the same gender patients via gastroscope three times (one time/three weeks), and a placebo was used with an equal volume of saline. Abdominal pain, diarrhea, thick bloody stool, intestinal mucosal lesion, and Mayo scores were measured. Self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) were evaluated. The changes of intestinal flora were detected by the 16S rRNA sequencing. FMT reduced the scores of diarrhea, abdominal pain, mucosal lesion, and Mayo, SAS, and SDS in UC patients compared to the placebo group (p < 0.05). Clostridiales and Desulfovibrionaceae were dominant in gut microbiota from male patients and were reduced after FMT. Meanwhile, the abundance of Prevotella, Lactobacillus, and Bifidobacterium was increased in the male group. Female patients had a higher abundance of Escherichia-Shigella, Desulfovibrionaceae, and Staphylococcaceae before FMT, and it was reduced after FMT. Meanwhile, the abundance of Porphyromonadaceae, Prevotella, Lactobacillus, and Bifidobacterium was increased in the female group. There were no significant changes for the species in the corresponding placebo groups. FMT improved the UC symptoms of male and female patients, which may be associated with different gut microbiota changes.

Abstract
Psychiatric disorders are 1.5 to 2 times more prevalent in persons with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) than in the general population, with pooled prevalence estimates of 21% for clinical anxiety and 15% for depression. Rates are even higher when considering mental health symptoms, as nearly one-third of persons with IBD experience elevated anxiety symptoms and one-quarter experience depression symptoms. Rates of these symptoms were much higher during periods of disease activity, more common in women than men, and more common in Crohn's disease than ulcerative colitis. There is robust evidence of the detrimental effects of comorbid depression and anxiety on the subsequent course of IBD based on longitudinal studies tracking outcomes over time. However, psychiatric disorders and IBD have bidirectional effects, with each affecting risk of the other. Elevated mental health concerns have been consistently associated with greater healthcare utilization and costs related to IBD. There is some signal that low resilience in adolescence could be a risk factor for developing IBD and that enhancing resilience may improve mental health and intestinal disease outcomes in IBD. Psychological therapies used to treat anxiety and depression occurring in the context of IBD have been shown to significantly improve the quality of life for persons with IBD and reduce anxiety and depression. There is less evidence in regard to the impact of psychotropic medications on mental health or disease outcomes in persons with IBD. There is consensus, however, that mental health must be addressed as part of comprehensive IBD care for children and adults.

Abstract
A growing body of evidence has demonstrated an intricate association between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and neurodegenerative conditions, expanding beyond previous foci of comorbidities between IBD and mood disorders. These new discoveries stem from an improved understanding of the gut-microbiome-brain axis: specifically, the ability of the intestinal microbiota to modulate inflammation and regulate neuromodulatory compounds. Clinical retrospective studies incorporating large sample sizes and population-based cohorts have demonstrated and confirmed the relevance of IBD and chronic neurodegeneration in clinical medicine. In this review, we expound upon the current knowledge on the gut-microbiome-brain axis, highlighting several plausible mechanisms linking IBD with neurodegeneration. We also summarize the known associations between IBD with Parkinson disease, Alzheimer disease, vascular dementia and ischemic stroke, and multiple sclerosis in a clinical context. Finally, we discuss the implications of an improved understanding of the gut-microbiome-brain axis in preventing, diagnosing, and managing neurodegeneration among IBD and non-IBD patients.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2023; 20:6255.

Abstract
Gender differences were identified in the frequency and clinical presentations of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and depressive and anxiety disorders, which are more common in IBD patients than in the general population. The present manuscript provides a critical overview of gender differences in the frequency and clinical course of mood and anxiety disorders in IBD patients, with the aim of helping clinicians provide individualized management for patients. All of the included studies found that IBD patients reported a higher frequency of depressive and anxiety disorders than the general population. These findings should encourage healthcare providers to employ validated tools to monitor the mental health of their IBD patients, such as the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). In addition, most studies confirm that women with IBD are more likely than men to develop affective disorders and show that up to 65% of women with IBD have depressive and anxiety disorders. Women with IBD require close mental health monitoring and ultimately a multidisciplinary approach involving mental health professionals. Drug treatment in women should be individualized and medications that may affect mental health (e.g., corticosteroids) should be thoroughly reconsidered. Further data are needed to ensure individualized treatment for IBD patients in a framework of precision medicine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Depression is more common in patients with chronic inflammatory diseases, but whether inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a chronic, relapsing immune-mediated disease, is associated with a higher risk of depression remains uncertain. METHOD We studied 497,134 participants in the UK Biobank, including 3561 IBD patients. Multivariate Cox proportional risk models were constructed to investigate the risk associated with IBD and depression adjusting for potential confounding factors including sociodemographic, lifestyle, and family history variables. RESULTS The average age of participants was 56.54 ± 8.09 years; 54.3% were female and 90.4% were white. Over a mean follow-up period of 13.3 years, the cumulative incidence of depression was 8.2% (95% CI: 7.3%-9.1%) in IBD patients compared with 4.9% (95% CI: 4.9%-5.0%) in individuals without IBD. Compared with non-IBD participants, the adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for depression among IBD patients was 1.56 (95% CI: 1.39-1.76), with an adjusted HR of 1.54 (95% CI: 1.25-1.90) in Crohn's disease and 1.52 (95% CI: 1.30-1.78) in ulcerative colitis, respectively. CONCLUSION IBD patients had a significantly higher risk of depression than non-IBD participants after adjusting for multiple confounding factors. We recommend screening for depression in middle-aged adults with IBD and no established history of depression.
