Efficacy of bifidobacterium-related preparations on depression: the first meta-analysis
Authors: Huang Ruihan , Liu Yongsheng 
Published: October 2024

Currently, depression-induced suicide has emerged as the primary contributor to the worldwide burden of disability. However, the prevailing drug treatment not only suffers from delayed effectiveness and limited efficacy, but also there are withdrawal symptoms and rebound phenomenon. Consequently, there is an imperative to investigate safer and more efficient treatments to ameliorate the clinical manifestations of depression. At present, there is increased evidence that probiotics can improve the symptoms of depression, but the existing studies use many and mixed types of probiotics, and it is impossible to determine the specific efficacy of bifidobacteria in the treatment of depression. This review will systematically review the effects of bifidobacteria on the treatment effect of depression, Meta-analysis showed that Bifidobacterium-related preparations effectively improved depressive symptoms in patients with depression. This study represents the initial meta-analysis conducted on the use of bifidobacteria-related agents for treating depression. The objective was to determine the effect of bifidobacteria-related preparations on improving depressive symptoms. We found that Bifidobacterium and its related agents can effectively reduce depression scale scores in patients with depression, suggesting the need for further research into this potential strategy for the prevention and treatment of depression.

BackgroundSchizophrenia, a severe mental disorder, is often complicated by Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), which can further impact patients’ psychological health. This study investigated the differences in eating attitudes, depression, and insight between schizophrenic patients with and without comorbid T2DM and explored the correlations among these factors to provide empirical support for clinical interventions.MethodsThis case-control study was conducted in Guangdong Province, China. From December 2022 to May 2023, a total of 300 hospitalized patients with schizophrenia (92 with comorbid T2DM and 208 without T2DM) were recruited. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form, Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), and Insight and Treatment Attitudes Questionnaire (ITAQ). Statistical analyses, including t-tests, ANOVA, and multiple linear regression, were performed to examine differences and predictive factors of eating attitudes among patients. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Affiliated Brain Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University (approval number: 2020028), and written informed consent was obtained from all participants.ResultsPatients with schizophrenia and comorbid T2DM exhibited significantly higher risks of eating disorders (EAT-26: 12.54 ± 9.77 vs. 9.07 ± 7.90, P=0.003), more severe depression (HAMD: 14.71 ± 7.36 vs. 11.80 ± 6.04, P=0.001), and poorer insight (ITAQ: 10.46 ± 6.01 vs. 12.16 ± 6.09, P=0.025) compared to those without T2DM. Regression analysis revealed that gender, weekly exercise frequency, depression, and insight were significant predictors of eating attitudes among patients with T2DM. For patients without T2DM, weekly exercise frequency, smoking status, and insight were significant predictors.ConclusionSchizophrenic patients with comorbid T2DM are facing increasing risks related to eating attitudes, depression, and insight which highlight the need for targeted interventions. Regular psychological assessment and tailored support strategies might improve their mental health and quality of life. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies to clarify causal relationships and develop more effective interventions.

ObjectiveThis study aims to elucidate the heterogeneous cognitive trajectories among older adults in China through a comprehensive, nationally representative longitudinal study. Furthermore, it seeks to investigate the impact of multidimensional social isolation on heterogeneous cognitive trajectories among older adults in China.MethodsUtilizing data from three successive waves of the Chinese Longitudinal Aging Social Survey (CLASS) spanning 2016 to 2020, this investigation quantified baseline social isolation across three dimensions—family isolation, friend isolation, and subjective isolation—alongside cognitive function scores of older adults, measured across all three waves. Through latent class growth models, heterogeneous cognitive trajectories were delineated. The influence of family isolation, friend isolation, and subjective isolation on these cognitive trajectories was examined employing multinomial logistic regression analysis.ResultsThe study included 6,378 participants aged 60 and above, revealing three primary cognitive trajectories: High baseline stable group (68.8%), High baseline but declining group (21.7%), and Low baseline deteriorating group (9.5%). Adjusting for variables such as personal physical characteristics, social networks, living and working conditions, and the surrounding policy environment, the findings indicated that family isolation did not significantly affect cognitive function’s high-level decline or low-level deterioration. Conversely, friend isolation markedly increased the risk of high-level cognitive decline (OR = 1.289) and low-level cognitive deterioration (OR = 1.592). Similarly, subjective isolation significantly heightened the risk for both high-level decline (OR = 1.254) and low-level deterioration (OR = 1.29) in cognitive function.ConclusionMitigating friend and subjective isolation among older adults appears to be a more effective strategy in preventing or delaying cognitive decline, potentially reducing the strain on healthcare and social welfare systems.

Published: October 2024

BackgroundWith the intensification of the global aging trend, there is a contradiction between the extended lifespan and the decline of physiological functions among the older adult. It has become a global consensus to focus on and improve the quality of life for the older adult. Mind–body exercises (Tai Chi, Ba Duan Jin, Yi Jin Jing) play a crucial role in promoting the quality of life for older adults, but the mechanisms and mediating effects are not yet clear.ObjectiveThis study examines the impact of mind–body exercises (Tai Chi, Ba Duan Jin, Yi Jin Jing) on the quality of life in older adults, with a particular focus on exploring the chain mediating effects of perceived social support and psychological resilience.MethodsThis study is a cross-sectional study that surveyed 1,087 older adults participating in mind–body exercises (Tai Chi, Ba Duan Jin, Yi Jin Jing) in 13 districts of Beijing, China, from March 25 to May 3, 2024. The Physical Activity Rating Scale (PARS-3), the World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale (WHOQOL-BREF), the Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS), and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) were used to measure mind–body exercise, perceived social support, psychological resilience, and quality of life, respectively. Data were statistically analyzed using SPSS 26.0, and mediation effects were tested and effect analysis was conducted through structural equation modeling (AMOS) and the Bootstrap method.ResultsThe study results show that mind–body exercises (Tai Chi, Ba Duan Jin, Yi Jin Jing) are significantly and positively correlated with the quality of life in older adults (r = 0.549, p &lt; 0.01). The path coefficients for the relationships mind–body exercise → perceived social support (β = 0.46, p &lt; 0.001) → psychological resilience (β = 0.20, p &lt; 0.001) → quality of life in older adults (β = 0.39, p &lt; 0.001) are significant, indicating that perceived social support and psychological resilience have a chain mediating effect between mind–body exercise and the quality of life in older adults.ConclusionMind–body exercises not only improve the quality of life for older adults but also indirectly enhance it by strengthening perceived social support and psychological resilience. This study provides significant reference for developing health intervention strategies targeted at older adults, suggesting that promoting mind–body exercises can improve their sense of perceived social support and psychological resilience, thereby increasing their quality of life.
Aproximación al análisis de la interpretación de Lengua de Señas Argentina de términos de economía en el discurso político
Authors: Astrada Laura , Lemmo Pablo 
Published: October 2024

En el presente artículo realizamos una primera aproximación al análisis de la interpretación simultánea en Lengua de Señas Argentina (LSA) de términos de economía en el discurso político. Nos proponemos observar el comportamiento de los términos interpretados en discurso político sobre la base del encuadre metodológico de la Teoría Comunicativa de la Terminología (TCT) desarrollada por María Teresa Cabré (2005).
El análisis parte del proceso de reflexión activa del equipo de trabajo sobre los desafíos afrontados durante la interpretación en LSA de los discursos políticos en español y la toma de decisiones adoptadas para su resolución, en tanto que los autores formamos parte del mismo. Abordamos un corpus compuesto por 5 videos de discursos producidos por Cristina Fernández de Kirchner en Cadena Nacional de la misma temática entre los años 2013 y 2015 con interpretación en LSA y las transcripciones correspondientes. La cuestión de la deuda externa es un tema recurrente vuelva a estar en la agenda de discusión política y se ha convertido en los últimos años en una protagonista central del discurso político (Suarez y Corvallán, 2022).
Los resultados evidencian la necesidad de estudios en las áreas de terminología en LSA, especialmente en lo que se refiere al estudio de los signos-términos dentro de diferentes áreas de conocimiento.

Про традиційні китайську освіту та виховання у сучасному світі: історико-педагогічні аспекти
Authors: Свинаренко Наталія , Добрунова Людмила 
Published: October 2024

У сучасному світі Китай є країною-лідером як політичного, так і економічного розвитку. Метою даної роботи є аналіз традиційної китайської освітньо-виховної системи у історичному вимірі з часів конфуціанства і до наших днів. На весь світ відомі такі риси, притаманні китайському народу, як – старанність, працьовитість, глибока повага до старших людей та до влади, колективізм. Коріння таких позитивних рис, що і призвели КНР до країн–світових лідерів, вчені знаходять, значною мірою, у вихованні багатьох поколінь у дусі конфуціанства, яке не втратило своєї значущості до наших днів. Інших ідеологій, окрім конфуціанства, на офіційному рівні, китайські правителі не впроваджували і не визнавали. В той же час складні життєві реалії змушували пересічних людей виховувати у своїх дітях з одного боку – максимально можливу працьовитість, а з іншого боку – максимальну креативність, творчість, бо тільки через гідну конкуренцію у багатомільйонній державі можна було краще реалізуватися. Від 1984 р. у науку і освіту Китайської Народної Республіки пішли великі фінансові державні інвестиції, і вона стала швидко розвиватися. Це призвело до того, що у 90-рр. ХХ ст. Китай став визнаним лідером світової технічної та технологічної думки у світі. Активно у наш час популяризують у світі китайську мову та культуру Інститути Конфуція. Їх відкривають при найбільших вищих навчальних закладах тих чи інших країн, там навчаються студенти, які будуть знати ази китайської мови, літератури, мистецтва, з повагою відноситися до КНР. Дуже цікавими для студентів та викладачів є стажування, грантові програми, консультації щодо навчання в КНР. Варто зауважити. що попри давню історію виховання багатьох поколінь китайського народу у дусі конфуціанських правил та традицій, молоді китайці прекрасно адаптуються у різних країнах світу і є гарними зразками ефективної реалізації фахівців у різних сферах життя. Саме тому китайська система виховання і навчання потребує досить детального вивчення.

Mujeres en el ejecutivo
Authors: Fernández Poncela Anna María 
Published: October 2024

Tras varios años en los cuales pocas mujeres se postularon a la presidencia, y prácticamente ninguna por formaciones políticas con posibilidades de victoria, en las elecciones del 2024 hay dos.
En el poder ejecutivo, además de la figura presidencial están las secretarías que componen el gabinete. En este espacio también ha habido poca presencia de las mujeres, en el mundo y en México. En la legislación, prácticas e incluso estudio sobre mujeres y política, parece haber sido más favorecido el poder legislativo que los acercamientos a los gabinetes presidenciales.
Aquí se pasa revista a la composición por género de los gabinetes según datos internacionales y para América Latina, y se profundiza en los gabinetes en la historia de México y en la actualidad. Se aborda también el caso de las gobernadoras. Es una aproximación panorámica, cuantitativa y también reflexiva, que tiene lugar a través de bibliografía e información documental.
Como hallazgo es posible afirmar que el poder ejecutivo es un ámbito con reducida participación de mujeres en el mundo, no obstante, en algunos países como el caso mexicano, en los últimos años ha habido un aumento significativo, fruto de la época, las luchas históricas de las mujeres, y las legislaciones favorables en la actualidad.
