Abstract
BACKGROUND Neurotransmitter deficits and spatial associations among neurotransmitter distribution, brain activity, and clinical features in Parkinson's disease (PD) remain unclear. Better understanding of neurotransmitter impairments in PD may provide potential therapeutic targets. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the spatial relationship between PD-related patterns and neurotransmitter deficits. METHODS We included 59 patients with PD and 41 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HCs). The voxel-wise mean amplitude of the low-frequency fluctuation (mALFF) was calculated and compared between the two groups. The JuSpace toolbox was used to test whether spatial patterns of mALFF alterations in patients with PD were associated with specific neurotransmitter receptor/transporter densities. RESULTS Compared to HCs, patients with PD showed reduced mALFF in the sensorimotor- and visual-related regions. In addition, mALFF alteration patterns were significantly associated with the spatial distribution of the serotonergic, dopaminergic, noradrenergic, glutamatergic, cannabinoid, and acetylcholinergic neurotransmitter systems (p < 0.05, false discovery rate-corrected). CONCLUSIONS Our results revealed abnormal brain activity patterns and specific neurotransmitter deficits in patients with PD, which may provide new insights into the mechanisms and potential targets for pharmacotherapy.

Decreased resting-state functional connectivity and brain network abnormalities in the prefrontal cortex of elderly patients with Parkinson's disease accompanied by depressive symptoms. Glob Health Med 2024; 6:132-140. [PMID: 38690130 PMCID: PMC11043130 DOI: 10.35772/ghm.2023.01043] [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: 04/01/2023] [Revised: 12/07/2023] [Accepted: 12/25/2023] [Indexed: 05/02/2024]
Abstract
This study aimed to explore the brain network characteristics in elderly patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) with depressive symptoms. Thirty elderly PD patients with depressive symptoms (PD-D) and 26 matched PD patients without depressive symptoms (PD-NOD) were recruited based on HAMD-24 with a cut-off of 7. The resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) was conducted by 53-channel functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). There were no statistically significant differences in MMSE scores, disease duration, Hoehn-Yahr stage, daily levodopa equivalent dose, and MDS-UPDRS III between the two groups. However, compared to the PD-NOD group, the PD-D group showed significantly higher MDS-UPDRS II, HAMA-14, and HAMD-24. The interhemispheric FC strength and the FC strength between the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC-L) and the left frontal polar area (FPA-L) was significantly lower in the PD-D group (FDR p < 0.05). As for graph theoretic metrics, the PD-D group had significantly lower degree centrality (aDc) and node efficiency (aNe) in the DLPFC-L and the FPA-L (FDR, p < 0.05), as well as decreased global efficiency (aEg). Pearson correlation analysis indicated moderate negative correlations between HAMD-24 scores and the interhemispheric FC strength, FC between DLPFC-L and FPA-L, aEg, aDc in FPA-L, aNe in DLPFC-L and FPA-L. In conclusion, PD-D patients show decreased integration and efficiency in their brain networks. Furthermore, RSFC between DLPFC-L and FPA-L regions is negatively correlated with depressive symptoms. These findings propose that targeting DLPFC-L and FPA-L regions via non-invasive brain stimulation may be a potential intervention for alleviating depressive symptoms in elderly PD patients.

Front Aging Neurosci 2024; 16:1363115. [PMID: 38737585 PMCID: PMC11082280 DOI: 10.3389/fnagi.2024.1363115] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2023] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 05/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective The non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) are an important part of PD. In recent years, more and more non-drug interventions have been applied to alleviate the non-motor symptoms of PD, but the relevant evidence is limited. This systematic review and meta-analysis was designed to evaluate the efficacy of non-drug interventions in patients with non-motor symptoms in patients with PD. Methods Seven databases, including Pubmed, Embease, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang database (WANFANG), VIP database (VIP), and China Biomedical Literature Service System (CBM) were searched from the establishment of the database to December 2023. Non-drug interventions such as acupuncture, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), exercise, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), and non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease were selected as search words, and two independent evaluators evaluated the included literature's bias risk and data extraction. The therapeutic efficacy was evaluated by the Parkinson's Disease Sleep Scale (PDSS), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Minimum Mental State Examination (MMSE), and Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire-39 (PDQ-39). RevMan 5.4.1 (Reviewer Manager Software 5.4.1). Cochrane Collaboration, Oxford, United Kingdom analyzed the data and estimated the average effect and the 95% confidence interval (CI). A heterogeneity test is used to assess differences in the efficacy of different non-drug treatments. Results We selected 36 from 4,027 articles to participate in this meta-analysis, involving 2,158 participants. Our combined results show that: PDSS: [mean difference (MD) = -19.35, 95% CI (-30.4 to -8.28), p < 0.0006]; HAMD: [MD = -2.98, 95% CI (-4.29 to -1.67), p < 0.00001]; BDI: [MD = -2.69, 95% CI (-4.24 to 4.80), p = 0.006]; HAMA: [MD = -2.00, 95% CI (-2.83 to -1.17), p < 0.00001]; MMSE: [MD = 1.20, 95% CI (0.71 to 1.68), p < 0.00001]; CoMA: [MD = 2.10, 95% CI (-0.97 to 3.23), p = 0.0003]; PDQ-39: [MD = -4.03, 95% CI (-5.96 to -1.57), p < 0.00001]. Conclusion The four non-drug measures used in our review showed significant improvements in sleep, depression, anxiety, cognition, constipation, and quality of life compared with the control group, and no serious adverse events were reported in the included research evidence, and we found that there were some differences among the subgroups of different intervention methods, but due to the less literature included in the subgroup, and the comparison was more indirect. So, we should interpret these results carefully. Systematic review registration www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO, identifier CRD42023486897.

Hydrogen sulfide attenuates depression-like behaviours in Parkinson's disease model rats by improving synaptic plasticity in a hippocampal Warburg effect-dependent manner. Pharmacol Biochem Behav 2024; 234:173677. [PMID: 37967673 DOI: 10.1016/j.pbb.2023.173677] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2023] [Revised: 11/07/2023] [Accepted: 11/09/2023] [Indexed: 11/17/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression is a highly prevalent comorbidity arising in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). However, depression in patients with PD is poorly treated. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a neuromodulator, has the potential to relieve depression. OBJECTIVE To investigate whether H2S attenuates depression-like behaviours in a rat model of PD and examine the underlying mechanisms. METHODS We utilised rotenone to develop a PD model with subcutaneous injections in the dorsal cervical region of Sprague-Dawley rats. The depression-like behaviours in the rotenone-induced PD model rats were assessed through forced swimming, tail suspension, open field, novelty-suppressed feeding, and elevated plus-maze tests. The expression of postsynaptic density protein-95 and synapsin-1, related to synaptic plasticity, was detected using Western blot in the hippocampus. The hippocampal ultrastructure, including the synaptic density, length of the synaptic active zone, postsynaptic density thickness, and synaptic gap width, was detected using transmission electron microscopy. RESULTS We proved that sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS; a donor of H2S) significantly attenuated the depression-like behaviours and disorders of hippocampal synaptic plasticity in rotenone-induced PD rats. Furthermore, inhibition of the hippocampal Warburg effect by 2-deoxyglucose abolished NaHS-enhanced hippocampal synaptic plasticity and reversed NaHS-attenuated depression-like behaviours in the rotenone-induced PD rats. CONCLUSION H2S attenuates PD-associated depression by improving the hippocampal synaptic plasticity in a hippocampal Warburg effect-dependent manner.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common, prevalent neurodegenerative disease. It is mainly characterized by motor symptoms such as rigidity, tremors, and bradykinesia, but it can also manifest with non-motor symptoms, of which depression is the most frequent. The latter can impair the quality of life, yet it gets overlooked and goes untreated because of the significant overlap in their clinical features, hence making the diagnosis difficult. Furthermore, there is limited data on the availability of appropriate criteria for making the diagnosis of depression in PD patients, as it can occur with varying expressions throughout the course of PD or it can also precede it. This review article has included a brief discussion on the diagnosis of depression in PD patients and their overlapped clinical manifestations. Understanding the mechanisms underlying the disease processes of PD and depression and the pathways interconnecting them gives better knowledge on devising treatment options for the patients. Only studies from Pubmed were included and all other databases were excluded. Studies from the last 50 years were included. Suitable references included in these studies were also extracted. Thus, depression in PD and PD in depression, along with their pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment options, have been discussed.

Abstract
Depressive symptoms are common in Parkinson's disease (PD). The relationships between autophagy and PD or depression have been documented. However, no studies explored the role of autophagy markers associated with depressive symptoms in PD. Our study aimed to investigate the relationships between autophagy markers, cognitive impairments and depressive symptoms in PD patients. A total of 163 PD patients aged 50-80 years were recruited. Plasma concentrations of autophagy markers (LC3-I, LC3-II and p62/SQSTM1) and glycolipid parameters were measured. Depressive symptoms, cognitive impairments, and motor function were assessed using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-17 (HAMD-17), the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), and the Movement Disorders Society Unified Parkinson's Rating Scale Part III (MDS-UPDRS-III), respectively. There were no significant differences between depressed and non-depressed PD patients for LC3-I, LC3-II, LC3-II/LC3-I and p62/SQSTM1. After controlling confounding variables, LC3-II/LC3-I showed an independent relationship with depressive symptoms in PD patients (Beta = 10.082, t = 2.483, p = 0.014). Moreover, in depressive PD patients, p62/SQSTM1 was associated with MoCA score (Beta = - 0.002, t = - 2.380, p = 0.020); Further, p62/SQSTM1 was related to naming ability; in addition, p62/SQSTM1 was independently associated with delayed recall (Beta = - 0.001, t = - 2.452, p = 0.017). LC3-II/LC3-I was related to depressive symptoms in PD patients. In depressive PD patients, p62/SQSTM1 was associated with cognitive function, especially naming ability and delayed recall.

Abstract
Background Although the study of the neuroanatomical correlates of depression in Parkinson's Disease (PD) is gaining increasing interest, up to now the cortical gyrification pattern of PD-related depression has not been reported. This study was conducted to investigate the local gyrification index (LGI) in PD patients with depression, and its associations with the severity of depression. Methods LGI values, as measured using FreeSurfer software, were compared between 59 depressed PD (dPD), 27 non-depressed PD (ndPD) patients and 43 healthy controls. The values were also compared between ndPD and mild-depressed PD (mi-dPD), moderate-depressed PD (mo-dPD) and severe-depressed PD (se-dPD) patients as sub-group analyses. Furthermore, we evaluated the correlation between LGI values and depressive symptom scores within dPD group. Results Compared to ndPD, the dPD patients exhibited decreased LGI in the left parietal, the right superior-frontal, posterior cingulate and paracentral regions, and the LGI values within these areas negatively correlated with the severity of depression. Specially, reduced gyrification was observed in mo-dPD and involving a larger region in se-dPD, but not in mi-dPD group. Conclusion The present study demonstrated that cortical gyrification is decreased within specific brain regions among PD patients with versus without depression, and those changes were associated with the severity of depression. Our findings suggested that cortical gyrification might be a potential neuroimaging marker for the severity of depression in patients with PD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Being diagnosed with a neurodegenerative disease is a life-changing event and a critical time to help patients cope and move forward in a proactive way. Historically, the main focus of Parkinson's disease (PD) treatment has been on the motor features with limited attention given to non-motor and mental health sequelae, which have the most impact on quality of life. Although depression and anxiety have been described at the time of PD diagnosis, demoralization, intolerance of uncertainty, decreased self-efficacy, stigma and loneliness can also present and have negative effects on the trajectory of the disease. Hence, understanding the psychological impact of the diagnosis and how to provide better counselling at this critical time point may be the key to a better long-term trajectory and quality of life. FOCUS There has been a paradigm shift in the treatment of chronic illness moving beyond the medical model, which focuses on fighting illness with the physician being in charge of the treatment process and the patient being the passive recipient, toward a more holistic (i.e., physical, psychological, social, and spiritual health) biopsychosocial approach that emphasizes behavioral factors with the patient being an active collaborator in their treatment. Hence, we propose that fostering resilience, social support, and psychological flexibility offer promise toward attenuating negative reactions and improving overall well-being. CONCLUSION Through a proactive wellness approach incorporating lifestyle choices, people with PD (PwP) can not only achieve improved states of health, well-being, and quality of life, but actually thrive.

Abstract
Depression is one of the early and most persistent non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD), which remains ignored, resulting in the underdiagnosis of PD. Unfortunately, scarce studies and the non-availability of diagnostic strategies cause countless complications, highlighting the need for appropriate diagnostic biomarkers. Recently, brain-enriched miRNAs regulating vital neurological functions have been proposed as potent biomarkers for therapeutic strategies. Therefore, the present study is aimed to identify the brain-enriched miR-218-5p and miR-320-5p in the serum of the Chinese depressed PD patients (n = 51) than healthy controls (n = 51) to identify their potency as biomarkers. For this purpose, depressive PD patients were recruited based on HAMA and HAMD scores and miR-218-5p and miR-320-5p and IL-6, and S100B levels were analyzed using real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and ELISA assay, respectively. In silico analysis was performed to identify key biological pathways and hub genes involved in the psychopathology of depression in PD. Here, we found significantly downregulated miR-218-5p and miR-320-5p following higher levels of IL-6 and S100B in depressed PD patients than in control (p < 0.05). The correlation analysis revealed that both miRNAs were negatively correlated with HAMA and HAMD, and IL-6 scores, along with a positive correlation with PD duration and LEDD medication. ROC analysis showed AUC above 75% in both miRNAs in depressed PD patients, and in silico analysis revealed that both miRNA's targets regulate key neurological pathways such as axon guidance, dopaminergic synapse, and circadian rhythm. Additional analysis revealed PIK3R1, ATRX, BM1, PCDHA10, XRCC5, PPP1CB, MLLT3, CBL, PCDHA4, PLCG1, YWHAZ, CDH2, AGO3, PCDHA3, and PCDHA11 as hub-genes in PPI network. In summary, our findings show that miR-218-5p and miR-320-5p can be utilized as future biomarkers for depression in PD patients, which may aid in the early diagnosis and treatment of Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
Depression is caused by a variety of factors such as genetic factors, biological factors, and psychosocial factors, and the pathogenesis is complex. RNA methylations and related downstream signaling pathways influence a variety of biological mechanisms, including cell differentiation, tumorigenesis, sex determination, and stress response. In this work, we searched the PubMed, Web of Science, National Library of Science and Technology (NSTL), and ScienceDirect Online (SDOL) databases to summarize the biological roles of RNA methylations and their impact on the pathological mechanisms of depression. RNA methylations play a key role in the development of many diseases, and current research shows that RNA methylations are also closely linked to depression. RNA methylations in depression mainly involve "writers" (mediating the methylation modification process of RNAs), "erasers" (mediating the demethylation modification process of RNA methylation). Fat Mass and Obesity Associated (FTO) influences the development of depression by increasing body mass index (BMI), decreases the dopamine level, inhibits the adrenoceptor beta 2 (ADRB2)-c-Myc-sirt1 pathway, results in the m6A/m6Am dysregulation in brain, and may be involved in the pathogenesis of depression. The study of RNA methylations in depression has further deepened our understanding of the pathogenesis and development process of depression, provides new perspectives for the study of the pathological mechanism of depression, and provides new targets for the prevention and treatment of this disease.

The effects of paroxetine therapy on depressive symptom and motor function in the treatment of depression with Parkinson's disease: A meta-analysis. Medicine (Baltimore) 2023; 102:e34687. [PMID: 37653795 PMCID: PMC10470685 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000034687] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2023] [Revised: 06/23/2023] [Accepted: 07/20/2023] [Indexed: 09/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Paroxetine therapy has been used for treatment of patients with depression and Parkinson's disease (dPD) in many clinical studies, but, the effects of paroxetine in dPD patients are not completely understood. The aim of this study was to systematically evaluate the effects of paroxetine therapy on depressive symptom and motor function in the treatment of dPD, in order to confer a reference for clinical practice. METHODS Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of paroxetine for dPD published up to October, 2022 were retrieved. Standardised mean difference (SMD), odds ratio (OR), and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated and heterogeneity was measured with the I2 test. The outcomes of interest were as follows: the efficacy, Hamilton depression rating scale score, unified Parkinson's disease rating scale score, Hamilton anxiety rating scale score or adverse events. RESULTS Thirty-four RCTs with 2819 participants were included. Compared with control group, the pooled effects of paroxetine therapy on depression were (22 trials; OR 3.62, 95% CI 2.63 to 4.98, P < .00001) for antidepressant response (25 trials; SMD -2.14, 95% CI -2.73 to -1.56, P < .00001) for Hamilton depression rating scale score, the pooled effects of paroxetine therapy on motor function were (10 trials; OR 4.63, 95% CI 3.15 to 6.79, P < .00001) for anti-PD efficacy (18 trials; SMD -2.02, 95% CI -2.48 to -1.55, P < .00001) for total unified Parkinson's disease rating scale score. The Hamilton anxiety rating scale score showed significant decrease in the paroxetine treatment group compared to control group (10 trials; SMD -1.93, 95% CI -2.65 to -1.22, P < .00001). In addition, paroxetine therapy reduced the number of any adverse events obviously in dPD patients (twenty trials; OR 0.42, 95% CI 0.31 to 0.57, P < .00001). CONCLUSIONS Paroxetine therapy has clinical benefits for improvement of depressive symptom and motor function in dPD patients, moreover, it is of high drug safety. Further well-designed, multi-center RCTs needed to identify these findings.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Depression is the most dominant non-motor symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD), with a prevalence of up to 50%, and can lead to a range of psychiatric and psychological problems that can affect quality of life and overall functioning. While several randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have tested the effect of certain non-pharmacological interventions on the outcome of PD depression symptoms, the comparative benefits and harms of these remain unclear. We will conduct a systematic review and network meta-analysis to compare the efficacy and safety of different non-pharmacological interventions for patients with PD depression. METHODS AND ANALYSIS We will search PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, Embase, Google Scholar, the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, the Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, WanFang Data and the Chongqing VIP Database from their inception date to June 2022. The studies will be limited to results published in English or Chinese. The primary outcomes will be the changes in the depressive symptoms, while secondary outcomes will include adverse effects and the quality of life. Two researchers will screen those documents that meet the inclusion criteria, extracting data according to the preset table and evaluating the methodological quality of the included studies using the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2.0 Tool. The STATA and ADDIS statistical software will be used to conduct a systematic review and network meta-analysis. A traditional pairwise meta-analysis and a network meta-analysis will be performed to compare the efficacy and safety of different non-pharmacological interventions, ensuring the robustness of the findings. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation system will be used to assess the overall quality of the body of evidence associated with the main results. The publication bias assessment will be conducted using comparison-adjusted funnel plots. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION All the data for this study will be extracted from published RCTs. As a literature-based systematic review, this study does not require ethical approval. The results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journals and national/international conference presentations. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42022347772.

Botulinum neurotoxin A ameliorates depressive-like behavior in a reserpine-induced Parkinson's disease mouse model via suppressing hippocampal microglial engulfment and neuroinflammation. Acta Pharmacol Sin 2023:10.1038/s41401-023-01058-x. [PMID: 36765267 DOI: 10.1038/s41401-023-01058-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2022] [Accepted: 01/16/2023] [Indexed: 02/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Depression is one of the common non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). In the clinic, botulinum neurotoxin A (BoNT/A) has been used to treat depression. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms underlying the anti-depressive effect of BoNT/A in a PD mouse model. Mice were administered reserpine (3 μg/mL in the drinking water) for 10 weeks. From the 10th week, BoNT/A (10 U·kg-1·d-1) was injected into the cheek for 3 consecutive days. We showed that chronic administration of reserpine produced the behavioral phenotypes of depression and neurochemical changes in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) and striatum. BoNT/A treatment significantly ameliorated the depressive-like behaviors, but did not improve TH activity in SNpc of reserpine-treated mice. We demonstrated that BoNT/A treatment reversed reserpine-induced complement and microglia activation in the hippocampal CA1 region. Furthermore, BoNT/A treatment significantly attenuated the microglial engulfment of presynaptic synapses, thus ameliorating the apparent synapse and spine loss in the hippocampus in the reserpine-treated mice. Moreover, BoNT/A treatment suppressed microglia-mediated expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-1β in reserpine-treated mice. In addition, we showed that BoNT/A (0.1 U/mL) ameliorated reserpine-induced complement and microglia activation in mouse BV2 microglial cells in vitro. We conclude that BoNT/A ameliorates depressive-like behavior in a reserpine-induced PD mouse model through reversing the synapse loss mediated by classical complement induced-microglial engulfment as well as alleviating microglia-mediated proinflammatory responses. BoNT/A ameliorates depressive-like behavior, and reverses synapse loss mediated by classical complement pathway-initiated microglia engulfment as well as alleviates microglia-mediated proinflammatory response in the reserpine-induced Parkinson's disease mouse model.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of physical exercise in improving depressive symptoms in Parkinson disease (PD). DATA SOURCE AND STUDY SELECTION We conducted a systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) following a prespecified protocol guidance (PROSPERO CRD42021243142). Two independent authors searched for studies in MEDLINE, Cochrane Register of Controlled Trials, Physiotherapy Evidence Database, Embase, PsycINFO, and Sports Discus from database inception to June 2022. DATA EXTRACTION Two independent authors extracted the data and evaluated the risk of bias using the revised Cochrane risk of bias tool. We performed random-effects meta-analyses and rated the certainty of evidence using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. DATA SYNTHESIS A total of 36 RCTs met the inclusion criteria, 14 of which were pooled in the quantitative synthesis. Depression symptomatology significantly decreased in the exercise group compared with usual care (standardized mean difference [SMD], -0.49; 95% confidence interval [CI], -0.74 to -0.24; very low quality of evidence; 14 RCTs; 961 participants). Physical exercise also improved patients' quality of life (SMD, -0.51; 95% CI, -0.81 to -0.21; 7 RCTs; 485 participants). As for acceptability, we did not find any difference between exercise and usual care (relative risk, 1.01; 95% CI, 0.97 to 1.05; 12 RCTs; 1048 participants). We judged all the studies except 2 to be at high risk of bias. CONCLUSIONS Results from our systematic review identify physical activity as a viable option to reduce depressive symptoms in PD. Future clinical practice guidelines should consider physical exercise in their recommendations for depression symptomatology reduction in people with PD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Depression is one of the most disabling neuropsychiatric manifestations of Parkinson's disease (PD) and requires proper screening and diagnosis because it affects the overall prognosis and quality of life of patients. This study aimed to assess the psychometric and diagnostic properties of the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) in an Italian PD cohort. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty consecutive outpatients with PD underwent the Italian version of the BDI-II and other questionnaires to evaluate anxiety and apathetic symptoms. Patients' caregivers completed the depression/dysphoria domain of the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI-D). We evaluated the internal consistency, convergent and divergent validity, and factorial structure of BDI-II. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and likelihood ratios were computed using ROC analyses, and an optimal cutoff was defined using the Youden index. RESULTS The BDI-II proved to be internally consistent (Cronbach's α = 0.840) and substantially met the bi-factorial structure. Regarding construct validity, the BDI-II was substantially related to anxiety measures, but not to apathy. With the combination of the NPI-D and anxiety score used as the gold standard, the BDI-II overall showed good accuracy (AUC = 0.859) with adequate sensitivity (75%) and specificity (87%). The optimal cutoff point was defined at 14.50. CONCLUSIONS We provide evidence of the psychometric and diagnostic properties of the Italian version of the BDI-II as a screening tool for depression in patients with PD. The BDI-II was found to be reliable and valid for the measurement of depression in patients with PD; therefore, it is available for use in clinical research and practice.

Abstract
Individuals living with Parkinson's disease (PD) experience interpersonal stressors that contribute to depressive risk. Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) emphasizes the bidirectional relationship between interpersonal stressors and mood may therefore be a suitable treatment for PD-depression. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of delivering 12 sessions of IPT to depressed PD patients and explore the need for modifications. A secondary aim was to obtain descriptive information about efficacy outcomes. The study used a pre-post design without a comparison group. Participants were 12 PD patients with a major depressive disorder. IPT was well accepted and tolerated by patients and required minimal modifications. Compliance with session attendance and completion of study questionnaires were excellent and treatment satisfaction was high. Depression scores declined from baseline to endpoint, with 7 patients meeting criteria for remission at endpoint. Findings are encouraging and a larger randomized controlled trial is currently underway to ascertain if IPT is an efficacious treatment for PD-depression.

Abstract
Background Depression in Parkinson's disease (PD) is identified and diagnosed with behavioral observations and neuropsychological measurements. Due to the large overlaps of depression and PD symptoms in clinical manifestations, it is challenging for neurologists to distinguish and diagnose depression in PD (DPD) in the early clinical stage of PD. The advancement in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology provides potential clinical utility in the diagnosis of DPD. This study aimed to explore the alterations of functional and structural MRI in DPD to produce neuroimaging markers in discriminating DPD from non-depressed PD (NDPD) and healthy controls (HC). Methods We recruited 20 DPD, 37 NDPD, and 41 HC matched in age, gender, and education years. The patients' diagnosis with PD was de novo. The differences in regional homogeneity (ReHo), voxel-wise degree centrality (DC), cortical thickness, cortical gray matter (GM) volumes, and subcortical GM volumes among these groups were detected, and the relationship between altered indicators and depression was analyzed. Moreover, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to assess the diagnostic efficacy of altered indicators for DPD. Results Compared to NDPD and HC, DPD showed significantly increased ReHo in left dorsolateral superior frontal gyrus (DSFG) and DC in left inferior temporal gyrus (ITG), and decreased GM volumes in left temporal lobe and right Amygdala. Among these altered indicators, ReHo value in left DSFG and DC values in left ITG and left DSFG were significantly correlated with the severity of depression in PD patients. Comparing DPD and NDPD, the ROC analysis revealed a better area under the curve value for the combination of ReHo value in left DSFG and DC value in left ITG, followed by each independent indicator. However, the difference is not statistically significant. Conclusion This study demonstrates that both functional and structural impairments are present in DPD. Among them, ReHo value of left DSFG and DC value of left ITG are equally well suited for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of DPD, with a combination of them being slightly preferable. The multimodal MRI technique represents a promising approach for the classification of subjects with PD.

Abstract
Although neuropalliative care is a relatively new field, there is increasing evidence for its use among the degenerative parkinsonian syndromes, including idiopathic Parkinson disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, multiple system atrophy, dementia with Lewy bodies, and corticobasal syndrome. This chapter outlines the current state of evidence for palliative care among individuals with the degenerative parkinsonian syndromes with discussion surrounding: (1) disease burden and needs across the conditions; (2) utility, timing, and methods for advance care planning; (3) novel care models for the provision of palliative care; and 4) end-of-life care issues. We also discuss currently unmet needs and unanswered questions in the field, proposing priorities for research and the assessment of implemented care models.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Parkinson's disease (PD) patients experience non-motor symptoms (NMS), which may appear before motor manifestations. The most common NMS is depression, affecting about 30-40% of PD patients. Both PD and depression are associated with an increased inflammatory burden, with studies showing elevation of diverse inflammatory markers in patients with both conditions. METHODS A systematic review was conducted in PubMed and PsycINFO databases to investigate what inflammatory markers are associated with PD depression (PDD). Only studies in English that measured inflammatory markers and analyzed against depression scores in PD patients were included. RESULTS A total of 1132 articles were retrieved, and 14 entries were found to be eligible. Twelve were cross-sectional studies, one was a cohort, and one was a non-randomized controlled trial. IL-17A was the only marker strongly associated with PDD, while studies assessing sIL-2R and serum amyloid A found a moderate correlation. C-reactive protein, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor-α, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, and IL-6 yielded conflicting results. Their possible roles in PDD are discussed. PDD was also related to longer disease duration and other NMS, such as anxiety, fatigue, dementia, REM sleep behavior disorder, and autonomic dysfunction. CONCLUSION We suggest that these markers may be used for distinguishing isolated depression from that related to neurodegeneration, especially in individuals that concurrently present with other known prodromal symptoms of PD and other α-synucleinopathies. However, future prospective studies are warranted to confirm this hypothesis.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease that is often accompanied by disorders such as depression, psychotic disorders, cognitive disorders, anxiety disorders, sleep disorders, impulse control disorders. The aim of the study was to review the literature and present the characteristics of neuropsychiatric disorders occurring in people suffering from Parkinson’s disease, with the specification of the above-mentioned disorders.
Material and method: The literature available on the PubMed platform from 1986 to 2022 was reviewed using the following keywords: Parkinson’s disease, depression, anxiety disorders, psychotic disorders, sleep disorders, cognitive disorders, impulse control disorders. Original studies, reviews, meta-analyzes and internet sources were analyzed.
Results: The above-mentioned neuropsychiatric disorders appear with different frequency among people suffering from Parkinson’s disease and occur at different times of its duration or even precede its onset for many years. The non-motor symptoms in the form of depressed mood, energy loss or changes in the rhythm of the day may result in a delay of appropriate therapy and thus in complications. Neuropathological changes in the course of Parkinson’s disease as well as dopaminergic drugs used in its therapy influence the development of neuropsychiatric disorders.
Conclusions: In order to avoid misdiagnosis, practitioners should use, e.g. scales intended for patients with Parkinson’s disease. To prevent the consequences of the aforementioned disease entities, methods of early diagnosis, determination of risk factors and standardization of the treatment process must be determined. Consistent care for patients with Parkinson’s disease is significant, not only in the neurological field, but also in the psychiatric one.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression in Parkinson's disease (PD) is a major health concern worldwide. Recently, an increasing number of non-pharmacological interventions have been used in PD to alleviate depressive symptoms. However, it is uncertain which intervention is the best, and related evidence is limited. This network meta-analysis was performed to compare and rank non-pharmacological interventions for PD and analyze their effects on depression to provide evidence for clinicians to choose appropriate non-pharmacological management options. METHODS The PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), PsycINFO, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Wanfang databases were searched from inception to April 7, 2022. Two authors screened all studies, extracted the data, and evaluated the methodological quality. STATA software version 16.0 was used to conduct the network meta-analysis. RESULTS Our network meta-analysis included 62 studies involving 3,050 participants and 35 non-pharmacological interventions. Although most non-pharmacological interventions showed non-significant effects, the surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) values indicated that the best non-pharmacological intervention for depression was dance (82.3%), followed by LSVT-BIG therapy (77.4%), and CBT (73.6%). CONCLUSION Dance can be considered as an effective therapy for improving depression in patients with PD. In the future, more strictly designed trials are needed to verify the conclusions of this network meta-analysis.

The Effects of Safinamide Adjunct Therapy on Depression and Apathy in Patients With Parkinson's Disease: Post-hoc Analysis of a Japanese Phase 2/3 Study. Front Neurol 2022; 12:752632. [PMID: 35222225 PMCID: PMC8869178 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2021.752632] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2021] [Accepted: 12/22/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and Purpose Neuropsychiatric symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD) have been shown to significantly affect quality of life (QOL). We investigated the impact of safinamide on depression and apathy when administered as an adjunct to levodopa in Japanese patients with PD. Methods This was a post-hoc analysis of data from a phase 2/3 clinical study of safinamide in Japanese patients with PD experiencing wearing-off (JapicCTI-153056; https://www.clinicaltrials.jp/cti-user/trial/ShowDirect.jsp?japicId=JapicCTI-153056). Patients received placebo, safinamide 50 mg, or safinamide 100 mg as an adjunct therapy. The endpoints for this analysis were changes from baseline to Week 24 in the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Part I item 3 (depression) and item 4 (apathy) scores and the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39) “emotional well-being” domain score. Subgroup analyses investigated the relationship between neuropsychologic symptoms and improvements in motor fluctuation and assessed which patient populations might be expected to obtain neuropsychologic benefit from safinamide. Results Compared with placebo, safinamide (both doses) significantly improved UPDRS Part I item 3 scores in the overall analysis population, and the 100-mg dose improved UPDRS Part I item 4 scores in the population with apathy at baseline. Changes in the PDQ-39 “emotional well-being” score showed numerical, but not significant, dose-related improvements. Notable reductions in depression were associated with a change in daily ON-time ≥1 h, pain during OFF-time at baseline, and female sex. Conclusions The results from this post-hoc analysis of the Japanese phase 2/3 study suggest that safinamide could bring benefits to patients with PD who have mild depression, pain during the OFF phase. In addition, safinamide might provide particular benefits for patients with PD who have mild apathy and female.

Abstract
Depression in Parkinson's Disorder (DPD) has been estimated to appear in up to 40% of people with PD and negatively impacts quality of life, motor and cognitive deficits and functional disability. Knowledge of the pathophysiology of DPD is unclear, DPD may be related to dysfunction in subcortical nuclei and the prefrontal cortex, striatal-thalamic-prefrontal and basotemporal limbic circuits, brainstem monoamine, and indolamine (i.e. dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine) systems. DPD is characterized by sadness, loss of interest, increased exhaustibility, feelings of helplessness, reduced drive, dysphoria, irritability, and pessimism about future. The diagnosis is complicated by overlap with PD symptoms, Detection of depression in PD should be made by psychometric depression scales. DPD is underrecognized and undertreated in clinical practice. Treatment mainly includes antidepressive medications and behavioral interventions as psychotherapy. Dopamine agonists showed some antidepressant effects, there are no sufficient numbers of RCTs. Important randomized clinical trials (RCTs) are summarized. SSRIs and SNRIs have a satisfying efficacy in DPD. TCAs are also good for improving depression. Side effects of different antidepressants (e.g. TCAs, SSRIs, SNRIs, bupropion, MAOIs) and potential interactions should be considered. In existing guidelines so far no statements, algorithms and recommendations are given for diagnosis and treatment of DPD. Methodologically adequate designed RCTs and comparative studies (NIS) which offer evidence-based results are urgently needed having the impact of DPD in mind.

Abstract
Apathy, fatigue and depression are amongst the most debilitating non-motor syndromes of Parkinson's disease (PD). The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of apathy, depression, anxiety and fatigue and whether these syndromes are separable in PD. A total of 337 patients were examined using the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS part III), the Apathy Evaluation Scale, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the Fatigue Severity Scale. Using standard cutoff criteria, the prevalence rates of significant apathy, mild-to-severe depression, mild-to-severe anxiety and severe fatigue were 23.7, 13.4, 15.4, and 17.8%, respectively. Next, confirmatory factor analysis was employed of items from these three clinical scales. A priori hypothesis testing including four different factors (reduced motivation/interest, physical fatigue, reduced pleasure, anxiety) was performed. The factor analysis revealed strong fit statistics for the model with χ2 (57, N = 377) = 58.9, p = 0.41, CMIN/DF = 1,034, NFI = 0.977, CFI = 0.999, IFI = 0.999, RFI = 0.968, and TLI = 0.999. The RMSEA was 0.01, and the standardized RMR was 0.027. These results support the hypothesis that apathy, fatigue, depression and anxiety represent prevalent syndromes that can be separated in Parkinson's disease and that apathy is not just a subcomponent of depression or fatigue. The results of this study may contribute to a clearer diagnostic process for apathy, fatigue and depression and may aid in patient care.

Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between nutritional status and Parkinson's disease (PD) features. Methods: The cohort was composed of 556 Parkinson's patients who were admitted to the hospital. Patients were categorized as normal nutrition or at risk of malnutrition/already malnourished. Questionnaires, physical examinations, and biochemical tests were conducted. The relationship between nutrition status and PD was analyzed using t-tests, χ2-tests, and logistic regression models. Results: The prevalence of malnutrition [defined as a Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) score <17] was 39.2%, and 30.3% of patients were at risk of malnutrition (17 ≤ MNA score ≤ 23.5). There was no difference in gender and age between the different nutrition groups (P < 0.05). Patients at risk of malnutrition and those who were malnourished had a longer course of disease, more severe motor symptoms, a higher stage of PD according to the Hoehn and Yahr (H-Y) classification, a lower body mass index (BMI) index, a lower cognitive score, higher levels of depression and anxiety, and more serious non-motor symptoms (P < 0.05) than patients with normal nutrition. There were differences in adenosine deaminase, albumin, phosphorus, chlorine, total protein, and uric acid between the two groups (P < 0.05). High Unified PD Rating Scale (UPDRS-III) scores, high H-Y stages, and dyskinesia were risk factors for malnutrition in PD patients, while high levels of total protein, uric acid, and chlorine were protective factors that led to good nutrition (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Our results showed that dyskinesia, disease severity, total protein levels, uric acid levels, and chlorine levels were associated with nutritional status among Chinese PD patients. The findings of this study indicate the significance of the early detection and prevention of malnutrition to improve the quality of life of PD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression is common in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Our previous studies suggest that depressed PD patients have altered insula structures. It is, however, still unknown whether the altered structures cause disruption of insula functional networks, further contributing to depression in PD. METHODS In the present study, 17 depressed PD patients, 17 non-depressed PD patients, and 17 normal controls were enrolled. All subjects went through neurological and psychiatric clinical assessments. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging and seed-based insula functional analyses were performed to examine the insula functional connectivity alterations in PD patients. RESULTS We found that compared with normal controls, PD patients exhibited significantly decreased insula functional connectivity widely across the whole brain. Compared with non-depressed PD patients, depressed patients showed further decreased functional connectivity in the middle frontal gyrus and inferior parietal lobe. Furthermore, connectivity between the left anterior insula and middle frontal gyrus was positively correlated with the cognitive scale score. CONCLUSION These results suggest that insula networks were severely damaged in PD patients, and that the disrupted connection between the salience network and executive control network might contribute to depression in PD.
