The articles on machine learning methods for predicting the risk of depression between 2019 and 2023 are retrieved from 6 databases(VIP,WANFANG,CNKI,Embase,PubMed and Web of Science).The review systematically summarized the algorithm characteristics,research fields,model performance,and current problems and challenges.A total of 92 articles are includes.The analysis results show that the machine learning models for predicting the risk of depression perform well,with the AUC values of the best prediction models ranging from 0.603 0 to 0.997 6.In the future,there should be a construction of multicenter prospective dynamic prediction models that use a multi-modal fusion approach to provide a more reliable basis for the clinical diagnosis of depression.

Objective To investigate the effect of exogenous hydrogen sulfide (H2S) on intestinal mucosal barrier after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in cardiac arrest (CA) rabbits. Methods Forty-four male New Zealand rabbits were divided into sham operation group (Sham group, n = 12), post-cardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS) group (n = 16) and H2S intervention group (PCAS+NaHS, n = 16) according to random number table method. The rabbit model of PCAS was established by tracheal clamping and suffocation, and CPR was started at 5 minutes after CA. However, Sham group did not clamp the tracheal intubation after anesthesia, and the other operations were the same as those in PCAS group. In the PCAS+NaHS group, a bolus of NaHS (0.5 mg/kg), a H2S donor, was injected via era vein 1 minute before the start of CPR, followed by a continuous injection of NaHS (1.5 mg·kg-1·h-1) for 3 hours, while the rabbits in other group were intravenously injected with the same volume of normal saline (NaCl 0.9%). Intestinal and portal vein blood samples were collected 24 hours after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). The level of serum fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran (FD-4) was detected by fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) labeling method to reflect intestinal mucosal permeability. After hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining of small intestine tissues, the morphological changes of mucosa were observed under light microscope, and the intestinal mucosa injury score was calculated. The expression of tight junction protein ZO-1 in intestinal mucosa was detected by immunohistochemistry. The content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in small intestinal tissue was determined by thiobarbituric acid chromogenic method, the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) was determined by xanthine oxidation method, and the level of myeloperoxidase (MPO) was determined by double antibody sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to reflect the oxidative stress and inflammatory reaction in small intestinal tissue. The expression of apoptosis protein (caspase-3) and autophagy related protein (Beclin-1, LC3) in small intestine tissue was detected by Western Blot. Results 12, 13 and 14 animals were successfully resuscitated in Sham group, PCAS group and PCAS+NaHS group respectively, while 12 animals in each group survived to the end of experiment. Compared with Sham group, the level of FD-4 in portal vein serum was significantly increased in PCAS group (mg/L: 11.95±0.59 vs. 1.43±0.48, P < 0.05), the pathological injury and inflammation infiltration were obviously aggravated under light microscope, the score of small intestine injury was significantly increased (4.21±0.37 vs. 0.36±0.18, P < 0.05), the expression of tight junction protein ZO-1 in the intestine was visibly down-regulated detected by immunohistochemistry, MDA content and MPO activity were significantly increased [MDA (nmol/mg): 3.65±0.32 vs. 1.54±0.24, MPO (U/g): 362±35 vs. 134±18, both P < 0.05], while SOD activity was significantly decreased (U/mg:78.84±7.49 vs. 115.48±8.48, P < 0.05), the expression levels of cleaved capase-3, Beclin-1 and LC3 proteins in the intestine were significantly increased (caspase-3/β-actin: 1.11±0.08 vs. 0.21±0.02, Beclin-1/β-actin: 2.08±0.11 vs. 0.42±0.03, LC3/β-actin: 1.05±0.07 vs. 0.37±0.05, LC3-Ⅱ/ LC3-Ⅰ: 1.28±0.14 vs. 0.17±0.02, all P < 0.05). Compared with PCAS group, the portal vein serum FD-4 level in PCAS+NAHS group was significantly decreased (mg/L:5.59±0.48 vs. 11.95±0.59, P < 0.05), the intestinal mucosal pathological injury and inflammatory cell infiltration were significantly decreased, the score of small intestine injury was significantly decreased (2.18±0.47 vs. 4.21±0.37, P <0.05), the expression of ZO-1 in intestine was significantly increased, MDA content and MPO activity in intestine were significantly decreased [MDA (nmol/mg): 2.65±0.31 vs. 3.65±0.32, MPO (U/g): 251±21 vs. 362±35, both P < 0.05], while SOD activity was significantly increased (U/mg: 96.86±7.52 vs. 78.84±7.49, P < 0.05), while the expression of activated caspase-3, Beclin-1 and LC3 proteins was significantly decreased (caspase-3/β-actin: 0.72±0.06 vs. 1.11±0.08, Beclin-1/β-actin: 0.96±0.08 vs. 2.08±0.11, LC3/β-actin: 0.72±0.06 vs. 1.05±0.07, LC3-Ⅱ/ LC3-Ⅰ:0.83±0.09 vs. 1.28±0.14, all P < 0.05). Conclusion H2S has a protective effect on intestinal mucosal injury induced by CA/CPR, which may be related to tight junction protein ZO-1 up-regulation, oxidative stress alleviation, inflammation reduction, apoptosis and autophagy inhibition.

A terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end-labeling (TUNEL) assay was used to determine that apoptosis causes HeLa cell death induced by pseudolaric acid B. The c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) inhibitor SP600125 decreased p53 protein expression during exposure to pseudolaric acid B. SP600125 decreased the phosphorylation of p53 during pseudolaric acid B exposure, indicating that JNK mediates phosphorylation of p53 during the response to pseudolaric acid B. SP600125 reversed pseudolaric acid B-induced down-regulation of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK), and protein kinase C (PKC) was activated by pseudolaric acid B, whereas staurosporine, calphostin C, and H7 partly blocked this effect. These results indicate that p53 is partially regulated by JNK in pseudolaric acid B-induced HeLa cell death and that PKC participates in pseudolaric acid B-induced HeLa cell death.

Pseudolaric acid B was isolated from Pseudolarix kaempferi Gordon (Pinaceae) and was evaluated for the anti-cancer effect in HeLa cells. We observed that pseudolaric acid B inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in a time- and dose-dependent manner. HeLa cells treated with pseudolaric acid B showed typical characteristics of apoptosis including the morphological changes and DNA fragmentation. JNK inhibitor, SP600125, markedly inhibited pseudolaric acid B-induced cell death. In addition, Bcl-2 expression was down-regulated while Bax protein level was up-regulated. Caspase-3 inhibitor, z-DEVD-fmk, partially blocked pseudolaric acid B-induced cell death, and the expression of two classical caspase substrates, PARP and ICAD, were both decreased in a time- dependent manner, indicative of downstream caspase activation.

AIM: To examine the apoptotic pathway of norcantharidin (NCTD)-induced HeLa cells death. METHODS: MTT, photomicroscopical observation, DNA agarose gel electrophoresis, LDH release and Western blot analysis were used. RESULTS: NCTD induced HeLa cells apoptosis and the apoptosis was partially reversed by the inhibitors of caspase-family (-3, -8, -10). The activities of caspase-3, -8 and -9 were significantly increased after treated with NCTD. The expression of the inhibitor of caspase-3 activated DNase (ICAD) was decreased in a time dependent manner. CONCLUSION: NCTD induces HeLa cells apoptosis through activating caspase pathways.
