Authors: Zou Ying , Wu Yu-Qin , Han Yao-Jing , He Xiao-Ming , Zhao Jiang 
Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND
Cases of depression among adolescents are gradually increasing. The study of the physiological basis of cognitive function from a biochemical perspective has therefore been garnering increasing attention. Depression has been hypothesized to be associated with the brain biochemical metabolism of the anterior cingulate gyrus, frontal lobe white matter, and the thalamus.
AIM
To explore the application of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) in the metabolic alterations in the prefrontal white matter (PWM) and gray matter (GM) in adolescents with depression.
METHODS
1H-MRS was performed for semi-quantitative analysis of the biochemical metabolites N-acetylaspartate (NAA), choline (Cho) complexes, creatine (Cr), and myo-inositol (mI) in bilateral PWM, anterior cingulate GM, and thalami of 31 adolescent patients with depression (research group) and 35 healthy adolescents (control group), and the NAA/Cr, Cho/Cr, and mI/Cr ratios were calculated. Meanwhile, Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) and Wechsler Memory Scale were used to assess the degree of depression and memory function in all adolescents. The correlation of brain metabolite levels with scale scores was also analyzed.
RESULTS
The research group had markedly higher HAMD-24 scores and lower memory quotient (MQ) compared with the control group (P < 0.05). Adolescents with depression were found to have lower bilateral PWM NAA/Cr and Cho/Cr ratios compared with healthy adolescents (P < 0.05). The mI/Cr ratios were found to be similar in both groups (P > 0.05). The bilateral anterior cingulate GM NAA/Cr, Cho/Cr, and mI/Cr also did not demonstrate marked differences (P > 0.05). No statistical inter-group difference was determined in NAA/Cr of the bilateral thalami (P > 0.05), while bilateral thalamic Cho/Cr and mI/Cr were reduced in teenagers with depression compared with healthy adolescents (P < 0.05). A significant negative correlation was observed between the HAMD-24 scores in adolescents with depression with bilateral PWM NAA/Cr and Cho/Cr and were inversely linked to bilateral thalamic Cho/Cr and mI/Cr (P < 0.05). In adolescents with depressions, MQ positively correlated with right PWH NAA/Cr, left PWH Cho/Cr, and bilateral thalamic Cho/Cr and mI/Cr.
CONCLUSION
PWM and thalamic metabolic abnormalities might influence teen depression, and the reduction in bilateral PWM NAA/Cr and Cho/Cr could be related to the neuropathology of adolescents with depression suffering from memory impairment. There exists a possibility of dysfunction of nerve cell membrane phospholipids in the thalami of adolescent patients with depression.

Authors: Chen Ju-Luo , Wang Rui , Ma Pei-Qi , Wang You-Meng , Tang Qi-Qiang 
Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND
Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is a prevalent cerebrovascular disease in clinical practice that is often associated with macrovascular disease. A clear understanding of the underlying causes of CSVD remains elusive.
AIM
To explore the association between intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration in CSVD.
METHODS
This study included patients admitted to Fuyang People’s Hospital and Fuyang Community (Anhui, China) between December 2021 and March 2022. The study population comprised 142 patients, including 80 in the CSVD group and 62 in the control group. Depression was present in 53 out of 80 patients with CSVD. Multisequence magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI were applied in patients to determine the brain volume, cortical thickness, and cortical area of each brain region. Moreover, neuropsychological tests including the Hamilton depression scale, mini-mental state examination, and Montreal cognitive assessment basic scores were performed.
RESULTS
The multivariable analysis showed that age [P = 0.011; odds ratio (OR) = 0.930, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.880-0.983] and ICAM-1 levels (P = 0.023; OR = 1.007, 95%CI: 1.001-1.013) were associated with CSVD. Two regions of interest (ROIs; ROI3 and ROI4) in the white matter showed significant (both P < 0.001; 95%CI: 0.419-0.837 and 0.366-0.878) differences between the two groups, whereas only ROI1 in the gray matter showed significant difference (P = 0.046; 95%CI: 0.007-0.680) between the two groups. ICAM-1 was significantly correlated (all P < 0.05) with cortical thickness in multiple brain regions in the CSVD group.
CONCLUSION
This study revealed that ICAM-1 levels were independently associated with CSVD. ICAM-1 may be associated with cortical thickness in the brain, predominantly in the white matter, and a significant increase in BBB permeability, proposing the involvement of ICAM-1 in BBB destruction.
Dysfunctional attitudes, social support, negative life events, and depressive symptoms in Chinese adolescents: A moderated mediation model
Authors: Yu Teng-Fei , Liu Li , Shang Lu-Ning , Xu Fang-Fang , Chen Zhi-Min , Qian Li-Ju 
Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND
Depression is a prevalent psychological issue in adolescents that is significantly related to negative life events (NLEs) and dysfunctional attitudes. High levels of social support can significantly buffer NLEs’ effect on depression. Currently, there is limited research on how social support moderates the relationship between NLEs, dysfunctional attitudes, and depression in adolescents in China. It is imperative to investigate this moderating effect to mitigate dysfunctional attitudes in adolescent undergoing depressive mood, ultimately enhancing their overall mental health.
AIM
To investigate the relationship and underlying mechanisms between specific dysfunctional attitudes, social support, and depression among Chinese adolescents.
METHODS
This is a cross-sectional study which selected five middle schools in Shandong Province for investigation in March 2022. Participants included 795 adolescents (49.87% male, mage = 15.15, SD = 1.84, age range = 11-18 years old). All participants completed the Dysfunctional Attitude Scale, Adolescent Life Event Scale, Beck Depression Inventory, and Social Support Rating Scale. A moderated mediation model was conducted to examine the relationship between specific dysfunctional attitudes, social support, and depression.
RESULTS
Results indicated that NLEs affected depression through the mediating role of specific dysfunctional attitudes (autonomy attitudes β = 0.21; perfectionism β = 0.25). Moreover, social support was found to moderate the mediating effect between NLEs, specific dysfunctional attitudes, and depressive symptoms (autonomy attitudes b2 = -0.08; perfectionism b2 = -0.09).
CONCLUSION
Dysfunctional attitudes mediated and social support moderated the relationship between NLEs and depression. Social support can buffer depression symptoms among adolescents with autonomy attitudes and perfectionism.

Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND
Research has found that the amygdala plays a significant role in underlying pathology of major depressive disorder (MDD). However, few studies have explored machine learning-assisted diagnostic biomarkers based on amygdala functional connectivity (FC).
AIM
To investigate the analysis of neuroimaging biomarkers as a streamlined approach for the diagnosis of MDD in adolescents.
METHODS
Forty-four adolescents diagnosed with MDD and 43 healthy controls were enrolled in the study. Using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging, the FC was compared between the adolescents with MDD and the healthy controls, with the bilateral amygdala serving as the seed point, followed by statistical analysis of the results. The support vector machine (SVM) method was then applied to classify functional connections in various brain regions and to evaluate the neurophysiological characteristics associated with MDD.
RESULTS
Compared to the controls and using the bilateral amygdala as the region of interest, patients with MDD showed significantly lower FC values in the left inferior temporal gyrus, bilateral calcarine, right lingual gyrus, and left superior occipital gyrus. However, there was an increase in the FC value in Vermis-10. The SVM analysis revealed that the reduction in the FC value in the right lingual gyrus could effectively differentiate patients with MDD from healthy controls, achieving a diagnostic accuracy of 83.91%, sensitivity of 79.55%, specificity of 88.37%, and an area under the curve of 67.65%.
CONCLUSION
The results showed that an abnormal FC value in the right lingual gyrus was effective as a neuroimaging biomarker to distinguish patients with MDD from healthy controls.

Authors: Wang Gui-Bo , Zhang Xue-Feng , Liang Bing , Lei Jie , Xue Jun 
Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND
Diagnosing and treating abdominal infection in children remains a challenge. Nucleic acid detection, as a rapid and accurate diagnosis tool, has great significance in this field.
AIM
To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of abdominal infection by nucleic acid detection and its possible correlation with psychological stress in children.
METHODS
A total of 50 pediatric patients diagnosed with abdominal infections between September 2020 and July 2021 were included in this study. Intra-abdominal pus samples were collected for pathogen culture, drug susceptibility testing, and broad-spectrum bacterial nucleic acid testing. Psychological stress, anxiety, depression, and coping styles were assessed using the coping with a disease (CODI) scale.
RESULTS
Based on susceptibility testing, a regimen of cefazoxime, piperacillin/tazobactam, and metronidazole or ornidazole achieved 100% effectiveness in treating appendicitis. Psychological assessments revealed a positive correlation between pressure level and both anxiety (r = 0.324, P = 0.001) and depressive disorders (r = 0.325, P < 0.001). Acceptance and distancing as coping strategies were negatively correlated with anxiety and depression, while negative emotional responses were strongly associated with increased anxiety (r = 0.574, P < 0.001) and depression (r = 0.511, P = 0.001). Coping strategies such as illusion and escape showed no significant correlation with emotional outcomes.
CONCLUSION
Nucleic acid testing helps in the diagnosis of abdominal infections in children, and also focuses on children's mental health.

Authors: Jalal Majda 
Published: November 2024

Librarians have to face discrimination by faculty, users, and public. Various type of labels & images have become the recognition of librarian. The systematic literature was used to highlight the stereotype images of librarian, were framed and analyzed with the help of Pareto analysis. Theory of taxonomy is proposed and discussed. Findings revealed that “strictness” is a most observed and discussed as stereotype image in literature. The study also proposed to control and change the image of strictness, as according to the 20:80 rule of pareto analysis, solution of 20% problems ultimately will resolve rest of 80% problems. Likewise, 20% change of strictness in behavior can resolve other 80% problems.

Authors: Gustafsson Daniel R. , Bush Sarah E. 
Published: November 2024

The genus Painjunirmus Ansari, 1947 is resurrected from synonymy with Brueelia Kéler, 1936, and considered a subgenus of Brueelia Kéler, 1936. A formal redescription and diagnosis for Painjunirmus is given. Four of the five previously described species of Painjunirmus are redescribed and illustrated: Brueelia (Painjunirmus) brevipennis Ansari, 1956, from Argya squamiceps squamiceps (Cretzschmar, 1826); Brueelia (Painjunirmus) chilchil Ansari, 1955, from Argya caudata eclipes (Hume, 1877); Brueelia (Painjunirmus) magnini Ansari, 1956a, from Argya fulva acaciae (Lichtenstein, 1823); Brueelia (Painjunirmus) pengya (Ansari, 1947) from Argya striata sindiana (Ticehurst, 1920) and A. s. striata (Dumont, 1823). The species Brueelia (Painjunirmus) parvus (Mey, 2017) is discussed. The species Brueelia (Painjunirmus) alba sp. nov. is described from a Nepalese population of Argya striata striata (Dumont, 1823). A neotype is designated for Brueelia chilchil Ansari, 1956. A key to almost all species of the subgenus Painjunirmus is provided.
