Objective:
To systematically evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and maintenance effects of digital psychological therapies on depressive symptoms among adolescents, so as to provide a reference for clinical practice.
Methods:
Randomized controlled trial(RCT) investigating digital psychological therapies to improve depressive symptoms among adolescents were searched across databases, including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang database, VIP database, and SinoMed, from database inception to November 20, 2025. Following literature screening, quality assessment, and data extraction, a Meta analysis was performed using Stata 18.0 software.
Results:
A total of 20 studies involving 2 042 adolescents aged 11-19 were included. The Meta analysis revealed that digital psychological therapies significantly alleviated depressive symptoms in adolescents ( SMD =-0.59, 95% CI =-0.85 to -0.32, P <0.01). The therapeutic effect was sustained at long term follow up ( SMD =-0.21, 95% CI =-0.34 to -0.09, P <0.01). Furthermore, depression scores in the intervention group showed a continued decrease from post intervention to long term follow up ( SMD =-0.28, 95% CI =-0.41 to -0.14, P <0.01). Egger s linear regression test indicated possible publication bias (Kendall s tall=0.28, P <0.01).
Conclusions
Digital psychological therapies can effectively improve depressive symptoms among adolescents, with stable long term efficacy. However, current evidence remains limited and exhibits substantial heterogeneity. Therefore, further large sample, high quality RCTs are warranted to validate the effectiveness of this intervention.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects and potential mechanism of Yiqi wenyang huwei decoction (YQWY) in improving airway inflammation and remodeling in rats with bronchial asthma (BA) based on the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/myeloid differentiation primary response protein 88 (MyD88)/nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway. METHODS Male SD rats were randomly divided into the normal group, the model group, the dexamethasone group (positive control, 0.5 mg/kg), and YQWY low-, medium- and high-dose groups (5, 10, 20 g/kg, calculated by the crude drug), with 8 rats in each group. Except for the normal group, rats in all other groups were sensitized twice with ovalbumin combined with aerosol challenge to establish a BA model. From day 14 to day 34 of the experiment, the rats in each group were administered the corresponding drug solution or normal saline intragastrically, once a day, 1 hour before aerosol challenge. At 24 hours after the final aerosol challenge, asthma symptom scores were assessed, serum levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE) were measured, and the levels of inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-4, interleukin-5, interleukin-13 and tumor necrosis factor-α) and the numbers of inflammatory cells (white blood cell, eosinophil, neutrophil, lymphocyte, monocyte and basophil) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were determined. Pathological changes in lung tissue were observed. The mRNA expressions of TLR4, MyD88 and NF-κB, as well as the protein expressions of TLR4, MyD88, NF-κB p65 and phosphorylated NF-κB p65 in lung tissue, were detected. RESULTS Compared with the model group, the pathological changes, such as inflammatory cell infiltration, abnormal deposition of collagen fibers, and goblet cell hyperplasia in the lung tissue of rats in each drug group, were alleviated to varying degrees. The asthma symptom scores (except for the YQWY low-dose group), the levels of IgE and inflammatory cytokines (except for interleukin-5 in the YQWY medium-dose group), the number of inflammatory cells (except for monocyte and basophil in the YQWY low-dose group), the mRNA expression of TLR4, MyD88 and NF-κB, as well as the protein expressions of TLR4, MyD88, NF-κB p65 and phosphorylated NF-κB p65 (except for MyD88 and NF-κB p65 proteins in the YQWY low-dose group as detected by Western blo t) were all significantly reduced or down-regulated ( P <0.05 or P <0.01). CONCLUSIONS YQWY can alleviate asthma-like manifestations in BA rats and improve their airway inflammation and remodeling; these effects may be related to the formula’s inhibition of the abnormal activation of the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and mechanism of Yiqi Wenyang Huwei decoction (YWHD) on airway inflammation in bronchial asthma (BA) rats based on transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)/SMAD family member 3 (Smad3) signaling pathway. MethodSixty male SD rats were randomly divided into a normal group, a model group, a dexamethasone (DEX) group, and low-, medium-, and high-dose YWHD groups, with 10 rats in each group. The BA model was induced by intraperitoneal injection of 1 mL of ovalbumin (OVA)-aluminum hydroxide suspension for sensitization, followed by nebulization with 2% OVA. One hour before daily OVA nebulization, the control group was treated with saline, the DEX group with DEX solution at 0.2 g·L-1, and the low-, medium-, and high-dose YWHD groups with YWHD at 1, 2, 4 g·mL-1, respectively. General conditions and lung function were observed. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and serum were collected to count inflammatory cells in BALF and measure immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels in serum and inflammatory cytokines in BALF using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Pathological changes in lung tissues, collagen deposition, and airway mucus secretion were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE), Masson, and periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining. TGF-β1/Smad3-related mRNA and protein levels in lung tissues were determined by Real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain translation (Real-time PCR) and Western blot analysis. ResultCompared with the normal group, the model group showed increased total airway resistance (RL) and decreased dynamic compliance (Cdyn) (P<0.05, P<0.01), elevated serum IgE levels, increased inflammatory cell counts, and higher inflammatory cytokine levels in BALF (P<0.01). Additionally, there was significant inflammatory cell infiltration, collagen deposition, and mucus secretion in lung tissues. The levels of TGF-β1, α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), and Smad3 phosphorylation in lung tissues were significantly increased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the DEX group and high-dose YWHD group exhibited significantly reduced RL (P<0.01), improved lung dynamic compliance (P<0.05), and lower serum IgE levels, inflammatory cell counts, and inflammatory cytokine levels in BALF (P<0.05). Moreover, these treatments alleviated pathological damage in lung tissues and reduced the levels of TGF-β1, α-SMA, and Smad3 phosphorylation (P<0.01). ConclusionYWHD reduces airway inflammation, improves pathological damage, and mitigates airway remodeling in bronchial asthma rats, possibly by downregulating TGF-β1, α-SMA protein levels, and Smad3 phosphorylation.
