While no standardized protocols for treatment of catatonia with ECT exist, a large body of research guides evidence-based care and reveals where additional research is warranted. The authors conducted a review of the literature on ECT as a treatment for catatonia. Based on the review, the authors offer strategies and future directions for improving access to ECT for patients with catatonia, and propose an algorithm for the treatment of catatonia with ECT.

Despite the highly prevailing rate of sensory over-responsivity, problem behaviors, and anxiety among emerging adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), little is known about the nature of their experiences. While previous studies have indicated potential relationships among these conditions, their connections still need to be clarified. This study aimed to examine the relationships between sensory over-responsivity, problem behaviors, and anxiety.

Fifty-seven emerging adults with ASD (M

 = 21.4, SD = 2.5; males = 80.7%) were recruited. The Adult Sensory Profile - Chinese version, Problem Behavior Scale of Scales of Independent Behavior - Revised, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 - Chinese version (GAD-7) were used.

The percentage of emerging adults with ASD who scored more than most people in the two quadrants were sensation sensitivity = 33.3% and sensation avoiding = 26.3%. Approximately 66.7%, 27.5%, and 50.9% of participants had internalizing behaviors, externalizing behaviors, and asocial beh may have common underlying mechanisms. Findings can be useful to understand the impacts of such difficulties for emerging adults with ASD.

We investigated the effect of icariin (ICA) combined with

saponins (PNS) on intestinal microbiota and hippocampal protein expression in amyloid precursor protein/presenilin 1 (APP/PS1) transgenic mice, a model of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Transgenic mice were treated with icariin and PNS. The Morris water maze (MWM) was used to assess spatial memory, and the gut microbiota and differential protein expression in the hippocampus were investigated using high-throughput screening techniques. Differential protein expression was confirmed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blotting.

The MWM results showed that the mice treated with the medium dose of ICA+PNS spent significantly more time in the target quadrant compared with the AD group. Bacterial diversity was the lowest in the AD group, with significantly greater diversity in the ICA + PNS treatment group. Three proteins were selected for proteomic analysis, and qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression of 2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthetase ubiquitin like 1 (Oasl1), trichoplein keratin filament-binding protein (TCHP), and tumor necrosis factor receptor associated 3-interacting protein 1 (MIPT3). Dabrafenib Compared with control mice, MIPT3 expression was increased and Oasl1 and TCHP were reduced in the AD group. These abnormal protein expressions tended to normalization after treatment with medium dose of ICA and PNS.

Treatment with ICA and PNS ameliorated memory impairment in an AD mouse model. The mechanisms may be related to modulation of the intestinal microbiota and expression of Oasl1, TCHP, and MIPT3.

Attachment research shows that attachment experiences with parents in childhood influence the characterization of personality traits. Meanwhile, it is known that mu-opioid receptor function is involved in human attachment. Furthermore, a few studies suggest that the A118G polymorphism of the mu-opioid receptor gene (

) is associated with altered mu-opioid receptor function. Thus, we examined if the

polymorphism moderates the sensitivity to parental behaviors and thereby contributes to the characterization of personality traits.

Participants were 725 healthy Japanese. Parenting practices of their parents were evaluated by the Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI) with the care and protection subscales. Personality was evaluated using the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI). The

A118G polymorphism was detected by a PCR method.

Multiple regression analyses revealed significant effects of the interaction between the

genotype and maternal protection on scores of the self-directedness and cooperativeness dimensions, while significant main effects of the

genotype on scores of the TCI were not found. Further analyses showed that there were significant negative correlations between maternal protection scores and the two dimensional scores in the A/A and A/G genotypes with higher correlation coefficients in the former, but not in the G/G genotype.

The present study suggests that the

polymorphism contributes to the characterization of personality traits by moderating the sensitivity to parental behaviors, especially maternal protection.

The present study suggests that the OPRM1 polymorphism contributes to the characterization of personality traits by moderating the sensitivity to parental behaviors, especially maternal protection.

Inflammation plays a critical role in the development of depression after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), while neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been identified as a novel comprehensive inflammatory indicator in recent years. The aim of this study was to examine the association between NLR and depression after ICH.

From January 2016 to December 2018, ICH patients were prospectively enrolled. NLR was measured at admission. Depression at 3 months after ICH was diagnosed according to the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD).

Of the 372 enrolled patients, 107 (28.8%) were diagnosed with depression at 3 months after ICH. Patients with depression had a higher NLR (6.15 vs 3.55,

< 0.001). Logistic regression analysis detected that after adjusting for major confounders, NLR remained independently associated with depression after ICH (OR = 2.25, 95% CI 1.45-3.49,

< 0.001). Moreover, NLR acted as the optimal variable for prediction, with the optimal predictive threshold of 4.53 in ROC analysis.

Elevated NLR is associated with depression at 3 months after ICH, suggesting that NLR may be a significant biomarker to predict depression after ICH.
