1.Progress in studies on TLR4 signaling pathway and major depressive disorder
Journal of Central South University(Medical Sciences) 2017;42(6):725-729
TLR4 signaling pathway plays an important role in regulation of the innate immune response and the adaptive immune response.Studies have shown that TLR4 signaling pathway is closely associated with the immune inflammatory process in major depressive disorder,but the underlying mechanisms are not clear.The pathophysiological process of depression involves multiple molecule mechanisms and signal pathways.The change of TLR4 signaling pathways exists in the peripheral circulation system or the central nervous system of depressive patients and depression animal models.The activation of TLR4 signaling pathways is associated with stress-inflammation-depression approach and leaky gut hypothesis,however,the relationship of peripheral and central TLR4 signaling pathways is not clear yet.TLR4 signaling pathway may be potential targets for the anti-inflammatory treatment of depression.

Objective:To explore the relationship between social support and negative emotion in parents of children with congenital heart disease before the operation.
Methods:Social support rating scale (SSRS), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), and Center for epidemiological survey-depression scale (CES-D) were used to assess the association between social support and anxiety and depression in 226 parents.
Results:The mean SSRS score was signiifcantly lower than the normal. There was signiifcant difference in social support of parents in monthly family earning and knowledge about surgery. Parents with monthly family income≤1000 yuan had lower scores than the other groups. Parents who knew nothing about the surgery approach had lower scores. Social support was significantly correlated to negative emotion (anxiety and depression). Social support could predict anxiety and depression.
Conclusion:Social support is widely and significantly correlated to negative emotion in parents of children with congenital heart disease before the surgery.
