Psychodynamic psychotherapy (PDT) has received less research in comparison to cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for major depressive disorder (MDD). This study aimed to establish whether short-term psychodynamic supportive psychotherapy (SPSP) is non-inferior to CBT in the treatment of MDD.Methods: A non-inferiority trial was conducted in a Dutch mental health setting, with 290 patients randomised to receive 16 sessions of either CBT or SPSP, over eight weeks. Primary outcome was depressive symptom severity assessed using the self-rated Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (IDS-SR). The non-inferiority margin was prespecified as a - 5 post-treatment difference on the IDS-SR. Secondary outcome measures were functional impairment caused by symptoms assessed using the Sheehan disability scale (SDS), and wellbeing measured by the Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC-SF).Results: Both intention-to-treat (baseline-adjusted mean difference 1.62, 95 % CI -1.82 to 5.05) and per-protocol analyses (mean difference 2.54; 95 % CI -0.63 to 5.72) showed SPSP to be non-inferior to CBT in reducing depressive symptoms. SPSP showed slightly but significantly higher remission rates and wellbeing scores.Limitations: Patients opting for other therapies or medication did not take part in the trial. Follow-up measures or clinician-rated questionnaires were not included.Conclusions: The findings support SPSP as a viable treatment option for MDD, expanding the available choices for patients and broadening treatment options.","PeriodicalId":14963,"journal":{"name":"Journal of affective disorders","volume":" ","pages":"344-351"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142564500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, few studies have explored this dynamic in military personnel who report only subclinical symptoms of PTSD and depression.Methods: Army National Guard Soldiers (ARNG; N = 1415) completed the Automated Neuropsychological Assessment Metrics (ANAM), the PTSD Checklist (PCL), and the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). The effects of PTSD and depression symptoms on ANAM performance were examined using multiple linear regression analyses. Exploratory factor analysis and regression models examined the relationship between symptom clusters and ANAM performance.Results: Six factors were identified: avoidance/flashbacks, cognitive/social difficulty, depressed mood, positive mood, sleep difficulty, and hypervigilance. Elevated symptoms of depression (measured using factor scores) were associated with poorer attention (β range -0.19-0.18, p range < 0.01-0.04, f2 effect size range 0.02-0.94).Conclusion: Depression symptoms were associated with diminished attentional performance in a large sample of ARNG Soldiers who reported no clinical diagnosis. This study was limited in that unmeasured factors other than depression, PTSD, or demographics may explain much of the variance in cognitive performance. These findings highlight the importance of careful mental health screening and strategies to heighten awareness of the potential detrimental effects of depression and PTSD on health and performance.","PeriodicalId":14963,"journal":{"name":"Journal of affective disorders","volume":" ","pages":"352-360"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142638908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent years, several genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified variants linked to asthma susceptibility. The DAD1 gene is known for regulating programmed cell death, and OXA1L is described for its involvement in mitochondrial biogenesis and oxidative phosphorylation. The present study aimed to identify variants in the DAD1 and OXA1L genes and to evaluate the association with asthma and atopy markers in adults. 1,084 individuals were divided into mild to moderate asthma, severe asthma, and participants with no asthma (controls). Association analyses were performed using a multivariate logistic regression model adjusted for sex, age, body mass index (BMI), smoking, forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), and component ancestry master (PC1) using PLINK 1.9 software. This study identified new variants in the DAD1 and OXA1L genes that had never been described before. The C allele of rs200470407 in OXA1L was negatively associated with poor asthma control (OR: 0.32; p-value 0.049) and increased IL-13 (p-value < 0.0001).

Melatonin (MT) plays an important role in plant responses to biotic and abiotic stresses, yet there is a lack of research on the specific role of limiting enzyme genes for MT biosynthesis in fast-growing woody plants. In this study, we investigated the function of PtoASMT, a key rate-limiting enzyme encoding gene for MT biosynthesis, which can be induced by drought, salt, and the phytohormones ABA, SA and JA. Our results show that: (1) PtoASMT was widely expressed in all tissues of poplar, but was highly expressed in petioles, moderately expressed in roots, stems, shoots and young leaves, exhibiting a typical diurnal expression rhythm in leaves, with the encoded protein localized on chloroplasts; (2) the content of MT was significantly promoted in overexpressing PtoASMT transgenic poplar plants, but there were no obvious differences in their growth and development; (3) overexpressing PtoASMT plants exhibited stronger drought tolerance, accumulating less reactive oxygen species (ROS) under drought stress relative to wild-type plants, whereas knockout PtoASMT plants were more sensitive and accumulated more ROS; (4) overexpressing PtoASMT plants were more resistant to fungi Dothiorella gregaria than WT plants, while knockout plants showed higher sensitivity; meanwhile, the expression of disease resistance-related genes (PRs and JAZ10) was significantly altered. We conclude that PtoASMT enhances the resistance of poplar to drought and Dothiorella gregaria by mediating MT biosynthesis in poplar.

It has a high rate of progression and a poor prognosis, and effective biomarkers still need to be identified. The solute carrier family 12 (SLC12) family has been reported to be involved in various physiological and pathological processes, but their functional roles in glioma remain unclear.Methods: Using public datasets, we studied the mutation and expression level of SLC12 family genes in glioma and identified the significantly differentially expressed member solute carrier family 12 member 9 (SLC12A9). We further predicted the prognostic role of SLC12A9 in glioma by using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression analysis. Then, we performed biological functional enrichment analysis. We focused on the relationships between SLC12A9 expression and immune infiltration in glioma. Meanwhile, we conducted in vitro experiments to evaluate the effect of SLC12A9 expression on glioma cells.Results: Among the members of the SLC12 family, SLC12A9 had the highest mutation rate in glioma, with gene amplification as the major mutation type, and its expression was significantly upregulated in glioma. Higher SLC12A9 expression was significantly associated with older age, higher grade, wild-type isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH), and a worse prognosis. The functional enrichment analysis indicated that SLC12A9 is mainly related to ion channel annotation. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) revealed that SLC12A9 was mainly related to the DNA replication pathway. Furthermore, we found that SLC12A9 correlated with tumor-infiltrating immune cells and immune checkpoints. Thus, SLC12A9 may be involved in regulating the immune response of glioma. Finally, our in vitro experiments revealed that silencing SLC12A9 dramatically inhibited glioma cell growth and migration.Conclusions: We showed that SLC12A9 may be a new predictive biomarker for glioma diagnosis, prognosis, and immunotherapy response, offering helpful guidelines to advance glioma treatment.","PeriodicalId":12499,"journal":{"name":"Gene","volume":" ","pages":"149136"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142767909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
