A total of 3780 participants (age ≥60 years) completed phase I (a brief cognitive screening); 918 completed phase II and were included in the final analysis. In phase I, all participants were administered the Abbreviated Mental Test (AMT) and the Progressive Forgetfulness Question (PFQ). Those who screened positive on either test were invited to phase II, whereby the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and a formal neuropsychological battery were administered, followed by the research diagnosis of no cognitive impairment, cognitive impairment no dementia (CIND)-Mild (≤2 impaired cognitive domains), CIND-Moderate (>2 impaired domains) or dementia. Receiver operating characteristic curve analyses were conducted for the different cognitive instruments. All discriminant indices were calculated, including sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values (NPV) and accuracy.

Although drug therapy is commonly used to treat depression, conventional antidepressant drugs have several disadvantages, including slow onset, low response rates and severe adverse effects. Therefore, developing effective therapies for depression remains challenging. Although various aetiological theories of depression exist, the underlying mechanisms of depression are complex, and further research is crucial. Moreover, oxidative stress (OS)-induced lipid peroxidation has been demonstrated to trigger ferroptosis. Both OS and ferroptosis are pivotal mechanisms implicated in the pathogenesis of neurological disorders, and investigation of the mediators involved in these processes has emerged as a prominent and active research direction. One previous study revealed that regulatory proteins involved in ferroptosis are implicated in the pathogenesis of depression, and antidepressant drugs could reverse depressive symptoms by inhibiting ferroptosis <i>in vivo</i>, suggesting an important role of ferroptosis in the pathogenesis of depression. Hence, our current comprehensive review offers an up-to-date perspective on the intricate mechanisms involved, specifically concerning ferroptosis and OS in the context of depression, along with promising prospects for using molecular mediators to target ferroptosis. We delineate the key targets of molecular mediators involved in OS and ferroptosis implicated in depression, most notably reactive oxygen species and iron overload. Considering the pivotal role of OS-induced ferroptosis in the pathogenesis of neurological disorders, delving deeper into the underlying subsequent mechanisms will contribute significantly to the identification of novel therapeutic targets for depression.</p>","PeriodicalId":12549,"journal":{"name":"General Psychiatry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":11.9,"publicationDate":"2023-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10603325/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71411702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, in the IGD group, IGDS9-SF scores and daily gaming hours were negatively correlated with the standardised uptake value ratios of <sup>18</sup>F-SynVesT-1 in the bilateral putamen. Longer SSRTs were significantly associated with lower SV2A density in the right pregenual anterior cingulate cortex and right Rolandic operculum.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The <i>in vivo</i> results in this study suggest that lower synaptic density contributes to the severity and impairments in inhibitory control of IGD. These findings may provide further incentive to evaluate interventions that restore synaptic transmission and plasticity to treat IGD.</p>","PeriodicalId":12549,"journal":{"name":"General Psychiatry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":11.9,"publicationDate":"2023-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/fa/35/gpsych-2023-101112.PMC10565144.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41197912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
