Trajectories of mental health symptoms predict long-term quality of life among Wenchuan adolescent survivors: A 10-year follow-up study.

Purpose: Previous studies usually examine the associations between psychological distresses and quality of life (QOL) with a variable-centred approach, while little is known about the effect of the individual variance in time-varying changes of psychological distresses on QOL. Therefore, this study aimed to examine whether individual variance in psychological distresses during the early phases post-earthquake would develop different QOL's levels among adolescent survivors 10-year after the Wenchuan earthquake.

Methods: Data were extracted from the Wenchuan Earthquake Adolescent Health Cohort Study.

Abnormal resting-state functional connectivity of hippocampal subfields in patients with major depressive disorder.

Background: Many studies have found that the hippocampus plays a very important role in major depressive disorder (MDD). The hippocampus can be divided into three subfields: the cornu ammonis (CA), dentate gyrus (DG) and subiculum. Each subfield of the hippocampus has a unique function and are differentially associated with the pathological mechanisms of MDD.
