Association of parental depression with offspring attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder:...

Published in Journal of affective disorders

Studies have indicated that parental depression was slightly related to the increased risk of offspring attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, the association between exposure to parental depression at different neurodevelopmental stages (i.e., perinatal or postnatal period) and subsequent ADHD ...

Validation of a Chinese version of the short form of Metacognitions Questionnaire (MCQ-30).

Published in Journal of affective disorders

This study investigated the psychometric properties of a Chinese version of the short form of Metacognitions Questionnaire (MCQ-30), which is an effective tool to assess metacognitive beliefs that have been linked to mental disturbance/disorder. We also tested whether metacognition factors would correlate with Internet gaming disorder (IGD) tendenc...

Sex differences in the transcription of glutamate transporters in major depression and suicide.

Published in Journal of affective disorders

Accumulating evidence indicates that the glutamate system contributes to the pathophysiology of major depressive disorder (MDD) and suicide. We previously reported higher mRNA expression of glutamate receptors in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) of females with MDD. In the current study, we measured the expression of mRNAs encoding glutam...

Effects of microbiota transplantation and the role of the vagus nerve in gut-brain axis in animals subjected to chronic ...

Published in Journal of affective disorders

Currently, there is a growing emphasis on the study of intestinal signaling as an influencer in the pathophysiology of neuropsychiatric diseases, and the gut-brain axis is recognized as a communication route through endocrine, immune, and neural pathways (vagus nerve). Studies have shown that diets that modify the microbiota can reduce stress-relat...

The influence of emotion regulation on posttraumatic stress symptoms among Japanese people.

Published in Journal of affective disorders

Emotion regulation (ER) is associated with posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS). However, most findings are from cross-sectional studies and are hence unable to clarify whether deficits in ER longitudinally contribute to the worsening and maintenance of PTSS. In addition, no studies consider the process of how ER affects PTSS. To further clarify ca...

Acetate supplementation produces antidepressant-like effect via enhanced histone acetylation.

Published in Journal of affective disorders

Abnormal energy metabolism is often documented in the brain of patients and rodents with depression. In metabolic stress, acetate serves as an important source of acetyl coenzyme A (Ac-CoA). However, its exact role and underlying mechanism remain to be investigated. We used chronic social failure stress (CSDS) to induce depression-like phenotype of...
