Prevalence and Influencing Factors of Sleep Problems in Tic Disorders: A Meta-Analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings consistently indicate that individuals with tic disorders frequently encounter significant sleep problems. This underscores the importance of routinely screening for sleep problems during clinical assessments. Effectively managing sleep problems in patients with tic disorders is crucial not only for the well-being of the patients themselves but also for their families.PMID:38009383 | DOI:10.1080/15622975.2023.2287729 (Source: The World Journal of Biological Psychiatry)

Interactive neuroinflammation pathways and transcriptomics-based identification of drugs and chemical compounds for schizophrenia
Conclusions: New neuroinflammatory pathways incorporating the extracellular matrix, glutamatergic neurons, and astrocytes in the aetiology of schizophrenia were established. Transcriptomics based network analysis provided novel targets, including extra-synaptic glutamate receptors, glutamate transporters and extracellular matrix molecules that can be evaluated for therapeutic strategies.PMID:37961844 | DOI:10.1080/15622975.2023.2281514 (Source: The World Journal of Biological Psychiatry)

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and fluoxetine attenuate astroglial activation and benefit behaviors in a chronic unpredictable mild stress mouse model of depression
The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect and underlying possible neuroprotective mechanism of rTMS and fluoxetine on abnormal behaviors in a depressive mouse model induced by chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS). After 28 days of CUMS exposure, mice were chronically treated with rTMS (10 Hz for 5 seconds per train, total 20 trains per day) and (or) fluoxetine (5 mg/kg/day, intraperitoneally) for 28 days targeting on the frontal cortex. After the behavioral tests, the protein expressions of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and tyrosine kinase B (TrkB) ...
