Depression is a common but serious mental health illness affected human's physiology and psychology. In contemporary times, neurophysiological research on depression has emerged as a prominent area of investigation, yet there remains a paucity of review elucidating the central mechanisms of depression in the brain. Consequently, we undertook a bibliometric analysis and visualization assessment to underscore recent advancements in research pertaining to the neural underpinnings of depression.

Article Synopsis
  • Tidal flats are critical for biodiversity along coastlines but are often confused with turbid waters in mapping efforts due to similar sediment characteristics.
  • A new Tidal Flats-Water Difference Index (TWDI) was developed using time series Sentinel-2 data for accurate tidal flat mapping in China for 2020, achieving a 0.97 overall accuracy.
  • The resulting Tidal Flats Map of China (TFMC) identified a total area of 9195.80 km of tidal flats and serves as a valuable tool for enhancing conservation and sustainable development in coastal wetland ecosystems.

Objective: To determine and compare the contributions of modifiable risk factors (RFs) with the prevention of dementia in older adults.

Design: A systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis (NMA). The observational group was set as a reference to collect all existing RFs and compare them with each other.

Up to date, human urotensin II (UII) is the most potent vasoconstrictor in mammalian animals. To explore whether UII played an important role in the development of hypertension, we conducted a prospective study in Changshu city, China. The baseline investigation was carried out in 2007, and the first follow-up investigation was conducted in 2013.

Dementia represents one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders in older adults. However, it is still unclear whether non-pharmacological therapies (NPTs) are effective or not and which treatment should be preferred. We applied a series of search strategies to identify eligible randomized controlled trials on 1st October, 2018, investigating the effects of NPTs of dementia in the older persons.

Background: Less is known about the prognostic value of serum cystatin C in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). The aim of the present study was to examine the association between serum cystatin C levels and prognosis of AIS patients after IVT.

Methods: Serum cystatin C was measured within 24 hours after recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) treatment in 280 consecutively recruited patients with AIS.

It's widely acknowledged that, as a neurodegenerative aging disease representing an intermediate stage between cognitive intactness and Alzheimer's disease (AD), Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) poses an excessive burden on patients' well-being, family members, health-care providers as well as the whole society. This study focuses on three cognitive interventions proposed by Clare and Woods, which are, Cognitive stimulation (CS), Cognitive training (CT) and Cognitive rehabilitation (CR). Our Network meta-analysis (NMA) aims to compar them with one another to determine the optimal cognitive intervention for elderly adults with MCI in improving their cognitive function.

Background: The prognostic value of White Blood Cell (WBC) counts and C-reactive Protein (CRP) in clinical outcomes of Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) patients after Intravenous Thrombolysis (IVT) remains unknown. We investigated the association of WBC counts and CRP with 3-month functional outcomes and all-cause mortality in AIS patients.

Methods: 447 AIS patients treated with IVT between May 2010 and May 2017 were enrolled.
