Out of the total, 150 women received care at the postpartum center of the Yongkang Women and Children's Health Hospital between June 2022 and February 2024 and were included in the postpartum management centers group, while the other 300 women underwent traditional postpartum care at home, with routine follow-up at the same hospital, and included in the traditional postpartum management group. General information and Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) scores were compared between the two groups at 42 days postpartum.

As, exercise intervention, a non-drug therapy, has been proven effective in post-stroke depression (PSD) patients. However, the underlying molecular mechanism by which exercise improves PSD still needs to be explored. Therefore, utilizing the mice model, this study aimed to observe the pathological changes in PSD and to investigate the mechanism by which exercise improves PSD symptoms.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;A middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO)+chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) method was used to establish the PSD mice model, and the model mice were subjected to exercise interventions. Behavior tests were conducted to validate changes in depression-like behaviors. Western blot and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) analyses were used to evaluate the expression levels of silent information regulator factor 2-related enzyme 1 (SIRT1), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling pathway in brain tissue. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) analyses were performed to assess the effects of exercise on neuroinflammatory markers. Hematoxylin-Eosin (HE) and Nissl staining were used to examine exercise-induced histopathological change in the brain tissue. Furthermore, SIRT1 was knocked down using an adenovirus-mediated approach, and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) staining was used to determine the number of astrocytes in brain tissue.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Exercise significantly alleviates the symptoms of neurological dysfunction in model mice (p &lt; 0.01). Exercise decreased the immobile time of PSD mice (p &lt; 0.05) and increased the total exploration distance and crossing area (p &lt; 0.05). Furthermore, exercise significantly reduced inflammatory marker levels, such as interleukin (IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and IL-1β (p &lt; 0.05), and elevated anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 levels (p &lt; 0.01). Moreover, exercise training alleviated inflammatory infiltration, increased the number of Nissl bodies (p &lt; 0.05), and improved pathological changes in PSD mice.

Recently, the gut-brain axis has been recognized as crucial in AD development, with dysbiosis in gut microbiota implicated in disease progression. Utilizing 16S rRNA analysis provides comprehensive monitoring of gut microbiota, potentially revealing biological markers for Early Alzheimer's Disease (EAD). Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the diagnostic impact of 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) on changes in intestinal flora among EAD patients.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This study analyzed stool samples from 50 AD patients and 50 healthy controls between June 2022 and June 2023. Based on the disease stage, patients were categorized into EAD (n = 14) and Late Alzheimer's Disease (LAD) groups (n = 36). The V3-V4 region was sequenced using 16S rRNA quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) to compare the composition of gut microbiota and differences in abundance among the three experimental groups.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The abundance and diversity of gut microbiota significantly increased in EAD patients compared to the healthy control group. Furthermore, 39 genera showed considerable variations between EAD and LAD patients and healthy controls, with notable increases in the abundance of Bryantella, Gemmiger, Desulfovibrio, Collinsella, and Odoribacter among EAD patients. Additionally, significant differences were observed across the Desulfovibrioales and Verrucomicrobiales, which could help distinguish EAD patients (Area Under the Curve (AUC) range 0.854, 0.966, p < 0.05).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>16S rRNA technology can be used to identify EAD patients, with the Desulfovibrioales and Verrucomicrobiales indicators serving as potential biological markers.</p>","PeriodicalId":7251,"journal":{"name":"Actas espanolas de psiquiatria","volume":"53 2","pages":"208-221"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11898251/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143603298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
