Published: April 2007

Major depression is one of the most disabling disorders. Yet, the pathogenesis of this mental disorder is poorly understood. Hippocampus is generally believed to be associated with pathogenesis of depression. In this study, we adopted a proteomic approach to examine possible alterations of protein expression in the hippocampus of a rat depression model. Our results suggest that neurogenesis in hippocampus may play an important role in the pathogenesis of major depression.

Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia, USA. Electronic address:

Background: HIV induced endothelial dysfunction (ED) contributes to cardiovascular disease (CVD) in women with HIV (WWH). Although psychosocial stress has been implicated in the development of CVD in HIV, its impact on ED in WWH remains unknown.

Objectives: The authors hypothesized that posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and HIV interact to contribute to ED in WWH.

Exploring the mechanism of Radix Bupleuri in the treatment of depression combined with SARS-CoV-2 infection through bioinformatics, network pharmacology, molecular docking, and molecular dynamic simulation.

Metab Brain Dis

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Respiratory Disease, National Clinical Research Center for Respiratory Disease, Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Health, the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, Guangzhou, 510180, China.

Background: Radix Bupleuri is commonly used in treating depression and acute respiratory diseases such as SARS-CoV-2 infection in China. However, its underlying mechanism in treating major depressive disorder combined with SARS-CoV-2 infection remains unclear.

Aim: This study aims to elucidate the pharmacological mechanisms of Radix Bupleuri in treating major depressive disorder combined with SARS-CoV-2 infection, employing bioinformatics, network pharmacology, molecular docking, and dynamic simulation techniques.
