Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can lead to disability or devastating consequences with few established treatments. Although ferroptosis has been shown be involved in TBI, the underlying mechanism was rarely known. Melatonin indicated exhibit neuroprotective activities. However, anti-ferroptotic effects of melatonin on TBI have not yet elucidated. We aimed investigate whether induced humans after and inhibition by could protect against blood-brain barrier (BBB) damage vivo vitro. Circular RNAs...

Major depressive disorder (MDD) and bipolar (BD) share clinical features, which complicates their differentiation in settings. This study proposes an innovative approach that integrates structural connectome analysis with machine learning models to discern individuals MDD from BD. High-resolution MRI images were obtained diagnosed or BD HCs. Structural connectomes constructed represent the complex interplay of brain regions using advanced graph theory techniques. Machine employed unique...

Prior research has demonstrated that the brains of adolescents with depression exhibit distinct structural alterations. However, preliminary studies have documented pathophysiological changes in certain brain regions, such as cerebellum, highlighting a need for further to support current understanding this disease.To study depressed adolescents.This enrolled 34 and age-, sex-, education-level-matched healthy control (HC) individuals. Structural functional alterations were identified when...

Background and Objective: The default mode network (DMN) may be an important component involved in the broad-scale cognitive problems seen patients with first-episode treatment-naive depression. Nevertheless, information is scarce regarding changes homogeneity (NH) found DMN of these patients. Therefore, this study, we explored NH Methods: study included 66 74 control participants matched by age, gender, educational level health status who underwent resting-state functional magnetic...

Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) was used to investigate the effects of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) causing brain function changes in adolescents who suffered from depression and suicidal ideation (SI). A total 30 patients (MDDs) 25 healthy controls (HCs) matched by gender, age, education level were enrolled.

Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder with neurodevelopmental origin. Although schizophrenia results from changes in the brain, underlying biological mechanisms are unknown. Transcriptomics studies quantitative expression or qualitative of all genes and isoforms, providing more meaningful insight. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques play roles revealing brain structure function. We give narrative focused review on current transcriptome combined MRI related to summarize research...

Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) commonly occurs among adolescents with major depressive disorder (MDD), causing adverse effects on the physical and mental health of patients. However, underlying neurobiological mechanism NSSI in MDD (nsMDDs) remains unclear, there are still challenges treatment. Studies have suggested that sertraline administration could be an effective way for treatment.To verify effectiveness to explore processes, we treated a group nsMDDs this study. The brain spontaneous...

While electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) has been repeatedly shown to effectively and efficiently treat the major depressive disorder (MDD), mechanistic basis for such therapeutic efficacy remains be firmly established. As such, further research exploring ECT-based treatment of MDD in an adolescent population is warranted.This study included 30 treatment-naïve first-episode patients healthy control (HC) individuals (aged 12-17 years). All participants were scanned using rs-fMRI, again after 2...
