Mechanisms of Zhenwu decoction for the treatment of renal fibrosis at various stages: What is the role of Corynebacterium?

Lijing Du et al.

Summary: This study investigated the mechanism of the protective effects of Zhenwu decoction (ZWD) on kidney fibrosis using a microbiomics-based strategy. The results showed that ZWD targeted specific flora related to inflammation, immunity, and renal excretion, such as Corynebacterium. ZWD was found to protect against renal fibrosis by restoring dysbiosis of the intestinal microbiota, reducing inflammation, and regulating immune functions.

Xiaoyaosan decoction alleviated rat liver fibrosis via the TGFβ/Smad and Akt/FoxO3 signaling pathways based on network pharmacology analysis

Yuan Zhou et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the anti-fibrosis effect of Xiaoyaosan decoction (XYS) and explore the molecular mechanisms using network pharmacology and transcriptomic technologies. The results showed that XYS significantly improved liver function and alleviated fibrotic changes, possibly through the TGFβ1/Smad and Akt/FoxO signaling pathways.

A next-generation probiotic: Akkermansia muciniphila ameliorates chronic stress-induced depressive-like behavior in mice by regulating gut microbiota and metabolites

Yang Ding et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that Akkermansia muciniphila (AKK) significantly ameliorated depressive-like behavior induced by chronic stress, restored abnormal molecular levels related to depression, and altered chronic stress-induced gut microbial abnormalities. Additionally, untargeted metabolomics analysis identified potential biomarkers associated with the mechanisms underlying depression and the therapeutic effects of AKK.

An overview of the behavioral, neurobiological and morphological effects of topiramate in rats exposed to chronic unpredictable mild stress

Sule Aydin et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of Topiramate (TPM) on depression, anxiety, learning, memory, and neurobiological changes in rats exposed to chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS). The findings showed that TPM had different effects on cognition and neurobiological changes in rats under CUMS at different doses.

Global prevalence and burden of depressive and anxiety disorders in 204 countries and territories in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic

Damian F. Santomauro et al.

Summary: This study aimed to quantify the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the prevalence and burden of major depressive disorder and anxiety disorders globally in 2020. The findings showed that the pandemic led to increased prevalence of major depressive disorder and anxiety disorders, with females and younger age groups being more affected. The pandemic has created an increased urgency to strengthen mental health systems in most countries and mitigation strategies are needed to address the burden of these mental disorders.

Anti-depressive effects of Xiaoyaosan, Shugan and Jianpi herbal treatments: Role on the gut microbiome of CUMS rats

Xiaojie Liu et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that Xiaoyaosan (XYS) and its disassembled groups exhibit significant anti-depressive effects on rats, especially in restoring digestive system functions and regulating cecal microbiota. The Shugan group shows the best efficacy and may be used for clinical treatment of depression, particularly in patients with gastrointestinal and gut microbiota disorders.

Benchmark of 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing using Japanese gut microbiome data from the V1-V2 and V3-V4 primer sets

Shoichiro Kameoka et al.

Summary: The study compared 192 Japanese volunteers' fecal 16S analysis data using modified V1-V2 and standard V3-V4 primers. Results showed that the bacterial composition derived from the V34 region might differ from the actual abundance, suggesting that the modified V12 primer set is more desirable for analyzing the Japanese gut microbiota.

Association of Depressive Symptoms with Rapid Kidney Function Decline in Adults with Normal Kidney Function

Zhuxian Zhang et al.

Summary: The study found that high depressive symptoms were significantly associated with a higher risk of rapid kidney function decline among Chinese adults with normal kidney function. An increase in depressive symptoms was correlated with an increased risk of rapid decline in kidney function.

Hepatic metabolomics of the compatibility effect of Xiaoyaosan on CUMS-induced depression based on the TCM theory of Treating Diseases via Regulating the Liver's Function

Xiao-jie Liu et al.

Summary: This study demonstrated the scientific significance and compatibility effects of Xiaoyaosan (XYS) based on hepatic metabolomics. XYS and its efficacy groups effectively reversed the abnormal behavior and hepatic metabolomics of depression rats, with the two efficacy groups of XYS showing synergistic anti-depression effects. Certain metabolites such as glutamate, malate, and taurine may play key roles in these synergistic effects.
