Objective To investigate the changes in serum levels of claudin-5 and Apelin-13 in patients with depression and their relationship with disease progression and sleep disorders.Methods A total of 128 patients with depression admitted to our hospital from June 2021 to July 2023 were selected as the study group,and another 128 patients who underwent physical examinations during the same period were selected as the control group.The correlation between the expression levels of serum claudin-5 and Apelin-13 in patients with depression and the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale(HAMD)score,as well as the diagnostic value of serum claudin-5 and Apelin-13 for the severity of depression in patients were analyzed.Results The expression level of claudin-5 in the serum of patients in study group was higher than that of the control group,which increased with the severity of the disease(P<0.05)and was positively correlated with the HAMD score(r=0.713,P<0.05).In addition,the expression level of claudin-5 in the serum of patients with sleep disorders was higher than that of those without sleep disorders(P<0.05),and the trend of changes in the expression level of Apelin-13 was opposite;Age,age at onset of depression,and claudin-5 were factors for sleep disorders in patients with depression,while Apelin-13 was a protec-tive factor(P<0.05);The combined detection of serum claudin-5 and Apelin-13 is superior to their individual detection(Z combined detection-claudin-5=2.393,Z combined detection-Apelin-13=1.964,P=0.016,0.044).Conclusion The expression levels of claudin-5 and Apelin-13 in serum of patients with depression were related to the progression of disease and the sleep disorders and the combined detection has high diagnostic value for severe depression.

Objective:
Adolescent depression is a highly prevalent and disabling mental disorder with unclear pathophysiology and unfavorable treatment outcomes. Recent efforts have been focusing on searching for biomarkers as specific indicators of adolescent depression. We performed a systematic literature review and meta-analysis, specifically including studies with healthy control groups as an inclusion criterion. This approach helps to avoid confounding factors and provides more accurate results regarding the inflammatory and immune biomarkers associated with adolescent depression.
Methods:
Three electronic databases were searched for studies comparing the means and changes in the biomarkers between depressed adolescent patients and healthy controls published in English until February 2024. Two authors independently performed the screening, quality assessment, and data extraction of the studies. A meta-analysis was conducted on outcomes reported by two or more studies using a random-effects model and presented Forrest plots and test statistics (I2) for heterogeneity analysis.
Results:
Nine studies were included in the review, including seven case-control studies and two cross-sectional studies. These studies included 24 target biomarkers, 13 of which were quantified in 2 or more studies. Compared to the healthy controls, the depressed adolescents had significantly higher values in ten indicators. Additionally, the depressed adolescents had lower procalcitonin levels than the healthy controls. The two groups showed no significant differences in the remaining 13 biomarkers.
Conclusion
Our findings offer fresh insights into the pathophysiology of inflammatory and immune aspects of adolescent depression and provide helpful guidance in developing targeted and effective intervention and prevention strategies to address adolescent depression.

Cognitive dysfunction is the impairment of higher brain functions.Cognitive impairment caused by neuropsychiatric diseases has caused serious impact on patients'quality of life and the outcome of the disease.The transcranial alternating current stimulation(tACS)improves cognitive function by modulating neural oscillations of specific frequencies,affecting the release of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine,and enhancing local and distal synchronization of brain networks.Specific frequencies of tACS can improve the cognitive impairment caused by Alzheimer disease(AD),schizophrenia,and depression,among which the gamma and theta frequencies of tACS have the most significant effects on cognitive function.tACS has high safety and low operational difficulty,and has great potential to improve cognitive function.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mental health status of the front-line anti-epidemic medical staff during the COVID-19 outbreak, so as to provide references for the targeted psychological intervention and improvement of mental health status. MethodsA total of 162 front-line medical staff who worked in Lanzhou Heavy Particles Hospital of Gansu Province from October to December 2021 were were enrolled, and assessed using self-designed general information questionnaire, Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS). ResultsA total of 144 medical staff completed the valid questionnaire survey, and 17 (11.81%) and 19 (13.19%) cases were found to have anxiety and depression, respectively. The detection rate of anxiety yielded statistical difference among medical staff with different anti-epidemic working hours (χ2=10.602, P<0.01), and the detection rate of depression demonstrated statistical differences among medical staff with different occupations, family history of depression and anti-epidemic working hours (χ2=5.486, 4.039, 7.526, P<0.05). ConclusionDuring the COVID-19 outbreak, front-line medical staff develop varying degrees of anxiety and depression. Furthermore, the detection rate of anxiety is relatively high among the staff with long anti-epidemic working hours, and the detection rate of depression is relatively high among the doctors, the staff with family history of depression and long anti-epidemic working hours.

ObjectiveTo investigate the non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) behaviors in adolescents with depressive disorder, analyze related influencing factors, and provide theoretical basis and reference for the prevention and treatment of NSSI. MethodsAccording to DSM-5 criteria, 95 depressive adolescents were divided into two groups: one with NSSI (NSSI group) and one without NSSI (nNSSI group). All patients were assessed with Adolescent Non-suicidal Self-injury Assessment Questionnaire (ANSAQ), Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ), Experiences in Close Relationships-Relationship Structures Scale (ECR-RS), and Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form (CTQ-SF). The inter-group differences were compared. The influencing factors of NSSI were analyzed by using binary logistic regression. ResultsOf the 95 depressive adolescents, 59 cases of NSSI were identified, with a detection rate of 62.11%. NSSI group had higher scores than nNSSI group on SDS, SAS, negative coping style, paternal attachment anxiety, maternal attachment anxiety and avoidance, CTQ-SF total score, emotional neglect, physical neglect, emotional abuse, and sexual abuse (all P<0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that anxiety, negative coping style, maternal attachment avoidance and emotional abuse increased the risk of NSSI among adolescents with depressive disorders (all P< 0.05). ConclusionsAdolescents with depression have a high incidence of NSSI behaviors, which is related to anxiety, negative coping style, maternal attachment avoidance and emotional abuse. In addition to improving patients' depression and anxiety in clinical setting, attention should also be paid to patients' coping styles, parent-child relationship and childhood trauma to reduce the occurrence of NSSI behaviors.
