Objective: To evaluate the association between neonatal bronchopulmonary dysplasia and the subsequent development of mental health conditions in children and adolescents.

Study Design: This was a retrospective cohort study, utilizing data from individuals born in South Korea between 2002 and 2005 and followed up until 2021, using the National Health Insurance Database. The cohort included 1 893 314 participants born during that period, with 927 diagnosed with bronchopulmonary dysplasia during the neonatal period (the exposed cohort). They were matched 1:10 with 9270 unexposed individuals (the unexposed cohort) based on key demographic factors.

Results: The median age at the first mental health disorder diagnosis was 9 years (IQR, 5-15 years), with 5698 individuals (55.9%) being male. During an average follow-up of 15.2 years, the incidence rate was 481/10 000 person-years in the exposed and 138 of 10 000 person-years in the unexposed cohort. By the age of 18 years, the cumulative incidence in the exposed cohort was 54% (95% CI; 50%-57%), with an adjusted hazard ratio of 3.18 (95% CI; 2.81-3.60) compared with the unexposed cohort, and adjusted hazard ratios for early- and late-onset mental health disorders of 4.48 (95% CI; 3.84-5.22) and 1.89 (95% CI; 1.61-2.22), respectively. Sensitivity analyses confirmed these findings, and a subgroup analysis revealed a higher risk among individuals with bronchopulmonary dysplasia who required prolonged respiratory support or oxygen.

Conclusions: Half of children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia in our cohort developed mental health disorders by the age of 18 years, emphasizing the need for interventions and support for such individuals.

Background: The inheritance of the short allele, encoding the serotonin transporter (SERT) in humans, increases susceptibility to neuropsychiatric and metabolic disorders, with aging and female sex further exacerbating these conditions. Both central and peripheral mechanisms of the compromised serotonin (5-HT) system play crucial roles in this context. Previous studies on SERT-deficient (Sert) mice, which model human SERT deficiency, have demonstrated emotional and metabolic disturbances, exacerbated by exposure to a high-fat Western diet (WD).

HP1 Promotes the Centromeric Localization of ATRX and Protects Cohesion by Interfering Wapl Activity in Mitosis.

Background: α thalassemia/mental retardation syndrome X-linked (ATRX) serves as a part of the sucrose nonfermenting 2 (SNF2) chromatin-remodeling complex. In interphase, ATRX localizes to pericentromeric heterochromatin, contributing to DNA double-strand break repair, DNA replication, and telomere maintenance. During mitosis, most ATRX proteins are removed from chromosomal arms, leaving a pool near the centromere region in mammalian cells, which is critical for accurate chromosome congression and sister chromatid cohesion protection.

Background: We aimed to assess impairments on health-related quality of life, and mental health resulting from Retinal artery occlusion (RAO) with monocular visual field loss and posterior circulation ischemic stroke (PCIS) with full or partial hemianopia using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).

Methods: In a prospective study, consecutive patients with acute RAO on fundoscopy and PCIS on imaging were recruited during their surveillance on a stroke unit over a period of 15 months. Baseline characteristics were determined from medical records and interviews.

Background: This study investigated relationships between low-income adolescent drinkers' frequent alcohol use and five factors: social disorganization, social structural, social integration, mental health, and access to healthcare.

Objective: A sample of 1,256 low-income adolescent drinkers and caregivers were extracted from the Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study.

Results: Logistic regression yielded results showing adolescent drinkers' weekly drinking to be associated positively with Hispanic adolescents, drinking peers, adolescents' depression/anxiety, and caregiver's daily drinking.
