The morbility of depression in epilepsy patients is relatively high,and children and adolescents are the main population of epilepsy.Because of the specific physical and mental development in children and adolescents,the incidence and medication in these population have their own characteristics.This paper reviews the research progress of the effects,causes,features,and interventions of epilepsy combined with depression in children and adolescents.

Comorbid depression and chronic pain are highly prevalent in individuals suffering from physical illness .Here, we critically examine that inflammation is the possible mechanism of comorbidity of pain and depression .These mechanisms include direct effects of cytokines on the neuronal environment or indirect effects via downregulation of G protein -coupled receptor kinase 2, activation of the tryptophan-degrading enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase that generates toxic kynurenine metabolites .We review the role of in-flammation in the mechanism of the commorbidity of depression and pain .

Objective 4-Hydroxyisoleucine (4-HIL) is the active component isolated from the seeds of Trigonella foenum-graecum. It exerts broad pharmacological effects such as anti-hyperglycemia,blood lipid lowing,improvement of insulin resistance,etc. As the Chinese traditional medicine,it can be used clinically in treating many diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus,dyslipidemia,metabolic syndrome,fatty liver and other diseases. Here the current research status and application prospect on 4-Hydroxyisoleucine were summarized.

Objective　To investigate the mechanism affecting on permeability of vascular endothelial cell by nitric oxide (NO). Methods　Series concentration of sin-1（a donor of NO） were added to ECV 304, a cell line of human umbilical vein endothelium. Cell growth and expression of f-actin, a cytoskeleton protein were observed. Results　Cell growth was inhibited with a dose from 6.25 to 100 μmol/L and was caused to death at the concentration of 50 to 100 μmol/L by sin-1. The expression of f-actin was suppressed obviously after cultured with 100 μmol/L sin-1 for 4 hours. Conclusion　It suggests that anomaly increased NO can increase permeability of blood vessels by suppressing the expression of f-actin, inhibiting cell growth or even resulting in cell death.

Objective To investigate the anxiety and depresson status of pregnant women with gestationul diabetes mellitus (GDM), to explore the correlated factors and harmful result among these patients, and to provide a theoretic basis for prevention and treatment of the anxiety and depresson status of pregnant women with geststional diabetes mellitus. Methods 95 cases with GDM were investigated by using Self Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS). Results Anxiety rate was 47.4% and depression rate was 33. 4% in patients with GDM. In the screening examination, patients with anxiety had blood glucose, fast blood glucose, and OGTT at 0 min., higher than those in patients without anxiety. And in the screening examination, patients with depression had higher levels of blood glucose, fast blood glucose, two-hour-later-after-a-meal blood glucose, OGTT at 0 min. and at 120 rain. than non-depression patients. Conclusions GDM Patients with anxiety and depresson have higher level blood glucose, and the control of their metalism is poor. It should pay a high attention to the negative mood of them and try to take effective intervention measures as early as possible to avoid the occurrence of a bad pregnant result.

Huntington disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by an expansion of the polyglutamine tract in the N-terminal huntingtin (Htt). Htt is a substrate of caspases and calpains, the proteases involved in initiation and execution of neuronal apoptosis. Caspase- and calpain-mediated cleavage of mutant Htt results in the production of toxic Nterminal Htt fragments. Recent studies suggest that Htt cleavage may be a crucial step in the pathogenesis of HD and may be a potential molecular target for HD therapy.

Cells respond to the accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) by up-regulating ER-resident enzymes at the transcription level. This is referred to the unfolded protein response (UPR).The UPR takes place in all eukaryotes and is currently the best understood model of inter-organellar signal transduction system. The basic signaling mechanism of the UPR is first illustrated in yeast. A Similar mechanism is now found to be operating in mammalian cells, but it is more complex. Three signaling pathways are involved in the UPR in mammalian cells including Ire1-XBP1, ATF6 and PERK-elF2-phosphated ATF4 pathway. The UPR plays important roles in cellular pathophysiology. Many human diseases including neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes and hyperhomocysteinemia are related to the UPR caused by misfolding of disease proteins. These diseases are also called misfolded protein diseases.
