Stress and psychosocial resources play a crucial role in late-life depression. While most studies focus on predominantly those who are young-old, this study used a sample aged 85 and older. The authors' study aims to examine three research questions: (1) What are the trajectories of depression and its associated factors such as types of stress and psychosocial resources among the oldest-old? (2) What are the longitudinal relationships among the changes in stress, psychosocial resources, and depressive symptoms? (3) Are the effects of the changes in stress on depression trajectory mediated by changes in psychosocial resources? The study used a convenience sample of 193 community-dwelling elders aged 85 and older with four interviews every six months from 1986 to 1988. Using multilevel modeling analyses, longitudinal results showed that changes in positive life events, daily hassles (worries), and mastery were significantly associated with changes in late-life depression among the oldest-old. 相似文献

ObjectStudies have suggested that depression was accompanied by oxidative stress dysregulation, including abnormal total antioxidant capacity (TAC), antioxidants, free radicals, oxidative damage and autoimmune response products. This meta-analysis aims to analyse the clinical data quantitatively by comparing the oxidative stress markers between depressed patients and healthy controls.MethodsA search was conducted to collect the studies that measured the oxidative stress markers in depressed patients. Studies were searched in Embase, Medline, PsychINFO, Science direct, CBMDisc, CNKI and VIP from 1990 to May 2015. Data were subjected to meta-analysis by using a random effects model for examining the effect sizes of the results. Bias assessments, heterogeneity assessments and sensitivity analyses were also conducted.Results115 articles met the inclusion criteria. Lower TAC was noted in acute episodes (AEs) of depressed patients (p<0.05). Antioxidants, including serum paraoxonase, uric acid, albumin, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and zinc levels were lower than controls (p<0.05); the serum uric acid, albumin and vitamin C levels were increased after antidepressant therapy (p<0.05). Oxidative damage products, including red blood cell (RBC) malondialdehyde (MDA), serum MDA and 8-F2-isoprostanes levels were higher than controls (p<0.05). After antidepressant medication, RBC and serum MDA levels were decreased (p<0.05). Moreover, serum peroxide in free radicals levels were higher than controls (p<0.05). There were no differences between the depressed patients and controls for other oxidative stress markers.ConclusionThis meta-analysis supports the facts that the serum TAC, paraoxonase and antioxidant levels are lower, and the serum free radical and oxidative damage product levels are higher than controls in depressed patients. Meanwhile, the antioxidant levels are increased and the oxidative damage product levels are decreased after antidepressant medication. The pathophysiological relationships between oxidative stress and depression, and the potential benefits of antioxidant supplementation deserve further research. 相似文献

Psychosocial stress plays a major role in the etiology and the course of mental disorders that often show an altered activation
of the hypothalamus–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis. The Trier Social Stress Test (TSST) reliably activates the HPA axis and
reflects real life stress exposure. However, habituation may confound the results of clinical trials that apply TSST. The
present study investigates the cortisol response after repeated psychosocial stress induction with short-term and long-term
intervals between repeated testing sessions. Forty-one healthy subjects were exposed to the TSST four times with an interval
of 24 h between the first and the second testing session (t1 and t2). The 3rd and the 4th testing session (t3 and t4) were
also separated by a 24-hour interval whereas there were 10 weeks between t2 and t3. A significant decrease in the salivary
cortisol responses was noticed from testing session t1 to t2 as well as from testing session t3 to t4. By contrast, there
were no differences in the HPA axis reactivity between testing session t2 and t3. Our results demonstrated the habituation
of the HPA axis to a standardized psychosocial stress test when testing was repeated after 24 h. By contrast, a renewed challenge
with a ten-week-interval in-between activated the HPA axis in a similar manner as before. It is suggested that studies designed
to investigate the HPA axis activity under repeated psychosocial stress conditions should apply the TSST three times in order
to separate habituation from intervention effects. 相似文献

Two-year-old potted plants of six Camellia sinensis cultivars (TV-18, TV-26, UPASI-3, UPASI-26, T-78 and HV-39) were subjected to water stress for 4, 8 and 12 d. Relative water content (RWC) of leaves of all cultivars declined with water stress, but in the two drought tolerant cultivars (UPASI-3 and UPASI-26), higher RWC were maintained in comparison to the others. Phenol content and activities of phenylalanineammonialyase, polyphenoloxidase and peroxidase initially increased, but decreased during extended drought. Chlorophyll contents decreased, whereas proline contents increased during water stress. SDS-PAGE analysis of proteins revealed increased accumulation of proteins of intermediate molecular masses (42 – 44 kDa) and low molecular masses (14 – 26 kDa). After 12 d of water stress, most of these proteins disappeared in T-78 and HV-39, but in the other cultivars they were still detectable. 相似文献

Phytohormones play an essential role in plant growth and development in response to environmental stresses. However, plant hormones require a complex signaling network combined with other signaling pathways to perform their proper functions. Thus, multiple phytohormonal signaling pathways are a prerequisite for understanding plant defense mechanism against stressful conditions. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are master regulators of eukaryotic gene expression and are also influenced by a wide range of plant development events by suppressing their target genes. In recent decades, the mechanisms of phytohormone biosynthesis, signaling, pathways of miRNA biosynthesis and regulation were profoundly characterized. Recent findings have shown that miRNAs and plant hormones are integrated with the regulation of environmental stress. miRNAs target several components of phytohormone pathways, and plant hormones also regulate the expression of miRNAs or their target genes inversely. In this article, recent developments related to molecular linkages between miRNAs and phytohormones were reviewed, focusing on drought stress. 相似文献

Dunaliella salina: A model System for Studying the Response of Plant Cells to Stress 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
This review focuses on the biochemical and physiological responseof the halotolerant green alga, Dunaliella salina, to conditionsof stress. It is now well established that in response to stress,cells of Dunaliella salina var. bardawil show increased glycerolproduction, massive ßcarotene accumulation and enhancedabscisic acid metabolism. In this respect, cellular responsesare regulatory and seem to depend on a diversity of mechanismswhich may be linked to a modification of the abscisic acid balance.Dunaliella lacks a rigid cell wall and the cellular contentsare enclosed by an elastic plasma membrane that permits rapidcell volume changes in response to extracellular changes inosmolarity. Based on the stretch activated ion channelsmodel reviewed recently by Kirst (1990) we propose thefollowing cascade of responses: volume change/distortion ofplasmalemma 相似文献

Evolution depends on the manner in which genetic variation is translated into new phenotypes. There has been much debate about whether organisms might have specific mechanisms for “evolvability,” which would generate heritable phenotypic variation with adaptive value and could act to enhance the rate of evolution. Capacitor systems, which allow the accumulation of cryptic genetic variation and release it under stressful conditions, might provide such a mechanism. In yeast, the prion [PSI+] exposes a large array of previously hidden genetic variation, and the phenotypes it thereby produces are advantageous roughly 25% of the time. The notion that [PSI+] is a mechanism for evolvability would be strengthened if the frequency of its appearance increased with stress. That is, a system that mediates even the haphazard appearance of new phenotypes, which have a reasonable chance of adaptive value would be beneficial if it were deployed at times when the organism is not well adapted to its environment. In an unbiased, high-throughput, genome-wide screen for factors that modify the frequency of [PSI+] induction, signal transducers and stress response genes were particularly prominent. Furthermore, prion induction increased by as much as 60-fold when cells were exposed to various stressful conditions, such as oxidative stress (H2O2) or high salt concentrations. The severity of stress and the frequency of [PSI+] induction were highly correlated. These findings support the hypothesis that [PSI+] is a mechanism to increase survival in fluctuating environments and might function as a capacitor to promote evolvability. 相似文献
