Purpose:Effective antidepressant treatment is one of the most important approaches for alleviating depressive symptoms and reducing the risk of suicide. Nevertheless, the high rates of relapse and disability associated with depression are largely due to patients' poor medication adherence. This study investigated the influence of patient experience and psychological contract on medication adherence of outpatients with depression and sought to identify critical factors that could improve medication adherence and provide effective recommendations for the healthcare system. Patients and methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Psychiatric Out-patient department of a tertiary general hospital. A total of 348 participants diagnosed with depression were surveyed by SERVQUAL scale, Psychological Contract Scale and Morisky Scale to assess patient experience, psychological contract and medication adherence, respectively. Results:The mean scores of patient experience, psychological contract, and medication adherence were 7.12 ± 1.25, 3.93 ± 0.36, and 5.32 ± 2.41, respectively. Patient experience and its five dimensions were positively correlated with medication adherence (P < 0.01). Although the psychological contract was not directly associated with medication adherence, it exerted an indirect effect through its influence on patient experience. Conclusions:Patient experience was positively associated with medication adherence among individuals with depression. Moreover, psychological contract exerted an indirect effect on medication adherence by influencing the quality of the patient experience. These findings highlight the importance of enhancing patient-centered service and fostering trust-based relationships to improve treatment adherence in depressive populations.
The high prevalence of recurrent depressive episodes (RDE) among patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) has resulted in substantial personal, societal, and financial burdens. Although many studies have explored the factors associated with RDE, most have important methodological limitations. This study aims to examine the factors associated with RDE within two years among young adults with first-episode MDD. A total of 324 patients aged 18 to 30 years with a first episode of MDD completed both the baseline assessment and the two-year follow-up. Personal, psychosocial, and illness-related variables were assessed at baseline. The status of RDE and medication use were evaluated at follow-up. Network analysis and logistic regression were performed to examine variables associated with RDE. The two-year prevalence of RDE among patients with first-episode MDD was 42.28
BACKGROUND:The mechanism by which synaptic plasticity mediates the occurrence of depression is unknown. Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) affects axon growth and neurogenesis in the brain, but its role in depressive-like behaviors is poorly understood. METHODS:Adeno-associated virus-mediated small interfering RNA was injected into the bilateral hippocampus 14 days before chronic unpredicted mild stress (CUMS). Behavior performance was assessed for depressive-like behaviors. Western blot was conducted to detect levels of LRP1, neurogenesis-related proteins, synaptic markers, microtubule system molecules and Akt/GSK-3β signaling-related proteins. Immunohistochemical staining was performed for LRP1 protein, immunofluorescence staining was conducted to determine the Sox2 protein, Nissl's staining and transmission electron microscope staining were used to observe hippocampal morphological features. RESULTS:The expression of hippocampal LRP1 was positively correlated with depressive-like behaviors. Treatment with iAAV-LRP1 exerted protective effects on depressive-like behaviors. LRP1 Knockdown relieved the inhibition of synaptic plasticity induced by CUMS. Expression of Sox2, GluR2 and SYP was significantly increased in iAAV-LRP1 CUMS rats. LRP1 knockdown reduced the p-tau (Ser262 and Thr404) and Acet-tubule levels in depressed rats. Finally, we found that LRP1 knockdown activated the PI3K/Akt pathway and inhibited GSK-3β signal transduction. LIMITATIONS:More neurogenesis markers would be considered, and stereotactic injection into hippocampal DG region could be performed to investigate the effects of LRP1. CONCLUSIONS:These findings indicated that hippocampal LRP1 deficiency in stressed rats plays an important protective role in depressive-like behavior by increasing synaptic plasticity mediated by microtubule dynamic and activating Akt/GSK-3β signaling pathway. Therefore, LRP1 may represent a potential therapeutic target for depression.
To study the acute psychological effects of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak among healthcare workers (HCWs) in China, a cross-sectional survey was conducted among HCWs during the early period of COVID-19 outbreak. The acute psychological effects including symptoms of depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), the Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) questionnaire, and the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R). The prevalence of depression, anxiety, and PTSD was estimated at 15.0%, 27.1%, and 9.8%, respectively. Having an intermediate technical title, working at the frontline, receiving insufficient training for protection, and lacking confidence in protection measures were significantly associated with increased risk for depression and anxiety. Being a nurse, having an intermediate technical title, working at the frontline, and lacking confidence in protection measures were risk factors for PTSD. Meanwhile, not worrying about infection was a protective factor for developing depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Psychological interventions should be implemented among HCWs during the COVID-19 outbreak to reduce acute psychological effects and prevent long-term psychological comorbidities. Meanwhile, HCWs should be well trained and well protected before their frontline exposure.

OBJECTIVES: To examine the effect of BDNF on F-actin during the stimulation of IL-1β in hippocampal neurons. MATERIALS & METHODS: We cultured hippocampal neurons from rat embryos. Cell stimulation was induced by IL-1β. Cell culture success was evaluated by an activity analysis of CCK-8, staining of gliocyte by immunohistochemistry. Changes in F-actin, BDNF and NF-ĸB were examined using molecular analyses. RESULTS: Our results demonstrate that a high concentration of IL-1β exaggerates the stimulation-induced degradation of F-actin by BDNF, whereas a low concentration of IL-1β protects F-actin against this degradation. These beneficial effects might be associated with the inhibition or exaggeration of the NF-ĸB signaling cascade. CONCLUSIONS: Taken together, our findings indicate that BDNF acts as an F-actin-protective regulator during stimulation by IL-1β and that this function largely occurs via the regulation of NFĸB signaling. These results suggest that interventions targeting the BDNF signaling system may be of therapeutic value against major depressive disorder (MDD).
Objective To provide a reference for mental health of the clinical medical graduate student,we studied the relationship between mental health status and social support.Methods Symptom Check List 90 (SCL-90),Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ),social support rating scale were used to cluster sampling survey of 264 medical graduate students in a university.Results According to EPQ,the P scores,N scores,E scores,L scores of male and female were different with normal.According to SCL-90,the 9 factors scores were all significant lower than normal (P < 0.01).According to social support scales,the support scores were significant higher than normal (P <0.01).Negative correlation existed between 9 factors of SCL-90 and the social support.Social support in each factor of personality in regression analysis,only the spirit of P scores,social support factors were entered into the regression equation.That showed social support had great influence on the spirit of quality.Conclusions The graduate students have good mental health.Social support has a positive correlation with mental health.
Objective To investigate behavior and hippocampal tau alterations following chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS),treatment of fluoxetine and re-exposure to CUMS.Methods 32 male SpragueDawley (SD) rats were divided into four groups,with 8 exposed to 21 consecutive days of chronic unprcdicted mild stresses (CUMS) and treated with vehicle,8 exposed to CUMS and treated with fluoxetine,8 exposed to CUMS and treated with fluoxetine and re-exposed to CUMS after washout,and 8 as normal controls treated with vehicle.Behavioral changes in these rats were analyzed.The expression of hippocampal tau and phospho-tau were analyzed using Western Blot.Results (1) Compared with the normal rats,sucrose preference ((52.37 ± 16.76) %),total traveling distance((2736.59 ± 511.20) cm),velocity((5.69 ± 1.09) cm/s) and frequencies of rearing(2.50 ±2.00) were reduced (P < 0.01) in the depressed rats.These behavioral changes could be reversed after 21d fluoxetine treatment.Compared with the control and CUMS group,sucrose preference ((42.00 ± 8.03)%),total traveling distance ((763.48 ± 457.29) cm),velocity ((2.64 ± 0.97) cm/s) and frequencies of rearing (0.25 ± 0.46)were reduced (P<0.01 for both) in the re-exposure to CUMS group.(2) Compared with the normal rats,the ptau(Ser356) expression ((152.31 ± 12.34) %) and p-tau (Thr231) expression ((166.72 ± 17.58) %) of CUMS group showed a significant increase (P< 0.01 for both) in rats submitted to CUMS.These changes could be also reversed after 21d fluoxetine treatment.Compared with the control and CUMS group,the p-tau (Ser356) expression ((221.86 ± 14.34) %) and p-tau (Thr231) expression ((302.01 ± 20.31) %) of re-exposure to CUMS group showed a significant increase (P< 0.01 for both).The total tau expression of four groups did not change significantly.Conclusion These findings provide evidence that rats exposed to CUMS and re-exposed to CUMS show increased p-tau expression,which suggest that changes in tau phosphorylation may play an important role in the link between depression and AD.
