Abstract
In recent years, the stroke incidence has been increasing year by year, and the related sequelae after stroke, such as cognitive impairment, motor dysfunction, and post-stroke depression, seriously affect the patient's rehabilitation and daily activities. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), as a safe, non-invasive, and effective new rehabilitation method, has been widely recognized in clinical practice. This article reviews the application and research progress of rTMS in treating different functional impairments (cognitive impairment, motor dysfunction, unilateral spatial neglect, depression) after stroke in recent years, and preliminary summarized the possible mechanisms. It has been found that the key parameters that determine the effectiveness of rTMS in improving post-stroke functional impairments include pulse number, stimulated brain areas, stimulation intensity and frequency, as well as duration. Generally, high-frequency stimulation is used to excite the ipsilateral cerebral cortex, while low-frequency stimulation is used to inhibit the contralateral cerebral cortex, thus achieving a balance of excitability between the two hemispheres. However, the specific mechanisms and the optimal stimulation mode for different functional impairments have not yet reached a consistent conclusion, and more research is needed to explore and clarify the best way to use rTMS. Furthermore, we will identify the issues and challenges in the current research, explore possible mechanisms to deepen understanding of rTMS, propose future research directions, and offer insightful insights for better clinical applications.

Abstract
Neuropeptide Y (NPY), an extensively distributed neurotransmitter within the central nervous system (CNS), was initially detected and isolated from the brain of a pig in 1982. By binding to its G protein-coupled receptors, NPY regulates immune responses and contributes to the pathogenesis of numerous inflammatory diseases. The hippocampus contained the maximum concentration in the CNS, with the cerebral cortex, hypothalamus, thalamus, brainstem, and cerebellum following suit. This arrangement suggests that the substance has a specific function within the CNS. More and more studies have shown that NPY is involved in the physiological and pathological mechanism of stroke, and its serum concentration can be one of the specific biomarkers of stroke and related complications because of its high activity, broad and complex effects. By summarizing relevant literature, this article aims to gain a thorough understanding of the potential clinical applications of NPY in the treatment of stroke, identification of stroke and its related complications, and assessment of prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is a well-established fact that post-stroke depression (PSD) is a prevalent condition that affects a significant proportion of individuals who have suffered a stroke. Hence, our research endeavors to explore the safety, efficacy and the potential molecular mechanism of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (ta-VNS) for the treatment of depression in PSD patients by conducting a double-blind, sham-controlled, randomized trial. METHODS Patients who had experienced strokes and exhibited depressive symptoms, with a Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-17) score of ≥8 and met the DSM-IV criteria, were diagnosed with PSD. A volunteer sample of participants (N = 80) were randomly divided into either the ta-VNS group (which received ta-VNS in addition to conventional treatment) or the control group (which received conventional treatment only), in a 1:1 ratio. The effectiveness of the interventions was evaluated using the 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD-17), Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), and Barthel Index (BI) scores. Furthermore, Plasma BDNF, CREB1, and 5-HT levels were measured before and after treatment. RESULTS The concomitant application of ta-VNS demonstrated a remarkable reduction in HAMD-17 and SDS scores, leading to noteworthy enhancements in patients' daily functioning, as evidenced by improved activities of daily living, at all assessed time points, in contrast to the control group (p < 0.0001). Notably, the ta-VNS group exhibited superior effects in modulating the measured neurotrophic biomarkers when compared to the control group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The synergistic approach of combining ta-VNS with conventional treatment has demonstrated remarkable efficacy and tolerability in managing depression following a stroke.

Abstract
Stroke is a highly prevalent and widely detrimental cardiovascular disease, frequently resulting in impairments of both motor function and neural psychological capabilities, such as post-stroke depression (PSD). PSD is the most prevalent neuropsychological disorder among stroke patients, characterized by persistent emotional lowness and diminished interest as its primary features. This article summarizes the mechanism research, animal models and related treatments of PSD. Further improvements are needed in the screening of research subjects and the construction of animal models in the study of PSD. At the same time, in the study of the mechanism of PSD, we need to consider the interaction between multiple systems. The treatment of PSD requires more careful consideration. This can help us to find something new in the study of the mechanism of complex PSD, which provides a new direction for us to develop new treatment delivery.

Abstract
Background Psycho-cognitive consequences are a frequent cause of disability in stroke survivors but are often underdiagnosed also because of lack of services dedicated to these aspects. We started assessing systematically cognitive and behavioral functions in acute stroke patients and to follow them up. Here, we report a retrospective analysis of the organization of the Sacco VAS-COG stroke care pathway and the refinements implemented during 5 years of activity. Methods The protocol includes baseline collection of clinical history, general and neurologic examinations, functional, neuropsychological, and neuroimaging assessment. At follow-up, a diagnosis of cognitive decline was made based on best clinical judgment in the first period (January 2018 to May 2019, namely VAS-COG protocol 1.0) and then based on an extensive neuropsychological battery (May 2019 to January 2023, namely VASCOG protocol 2.0); psychiatric and behavioral disturbances are investigated through suitable scales. Results From January 2018 to December 2022, 834 patients (mean age 76±13.6 years; 46.6 % females) with acute cerebrovascular events were admitted to the stroke unit, mostly (80 %) for ischemic strokes. Pre-event cognitive impairment was not assessable in 78 patients (9.3 %) because no reliable informant was present and was reported in 327/756 (43 %) patients. During follow-up, post-stroke cognitive impairment was detected in 124/217 (57.1 %) patients in VAS-COG protocol 1.0 and in 137/201(68.2 %) patients in VAS-COG protocol 2.0, while 95/218 (43.2 %) patients were found to be depressed and patients presented on average 2.5 neuropsychiatric symptoms on Neuropsychiatric Inventory-questionnaire. Conclusions The VAS-COG stroke care pathway represents a model for patients and for their families.

Abstract
Leptin and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) may play a role in clinical identification of post-stroke depression (PSD). Here, eight databases (including CNKI, Wanfang, SinoMed, VIP, PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Embase, and the Web of Science) were employed to search for studies on serum leptin and insulin-like growth factor-1 expression levels in patients with PSD. In total, 13 articles were included, of which 6 studies investigated the expression level of serum leptin in patients with PSD, 7 studies explored the serum IGF-1 in PSD patients. Then, the RevMan 5.4 software was used for meta-analysis. The results showed that serum leptin levels were significantly higher in PSD patients than in patients without PSD (SMD = 1.54, 95% CI: 0.84, 2.23; P = 0.006). The result of subgroup analysis showed that the serum leptin levels in PSD patients were significantly higher than those without PSD in acute phase (SMD = 1.38, 95% CI: 0.04, 2.71; P = 0.04), subacute phase (SMD = 2.31, 95% CI: 0.88, 3.73; P = 0.001), and chronic phase (SMD = 1.02, 95% CI: 0.43, 1.60; P = 0.0007); There was no significant difference in serum IGF-1 level between PSD patients and patients without PSD (SMD = 0.49, 95% CI: -0.55, 1.52; P = 0.36). Moreover, the subgroup analysis also showed that there was no statistical difference in acute stage (SMD = 0.36, 95% CI: 0.89, 1.60; P = 0.57). Our study provides evidence to prove that serum leptin level has potential clinical application value as biomarkers for identifying PSD.

Abstract
Two of the most common and incapacitating mental health disorders around the world are major depressive disorder (MDD) and post-stroke depression (PSD). MDD is thought to result from abnormal connectivity between the monoaminergic, glutamatergic, GABAergic, and/or cholinergic pathways. Additional factors include the roles of hormonal, immune, ageing, as well as the influence of cellular, molecular, and epigenetics in the development of mood disorders. This complexity of factors has been anticipated by the Swiss psychiatrists Paul Kielholz and Jules Angst who introduced a multimodal treatment of MDD. Depression is the predominant mood disorder, impacting around one-third of individuals who have experienced a stroke. MDD and PSD share common underlying biological mechanisms related to the disruption of monoaminergic pathways. The major contributor to PSD is the stroke lesion location, which can involve the disruption of the serotoninergic, dopaminergic, glutamatergic, GABAergic, or cholinergic pathways. Additionally, various other disorders such as mania, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorder, and apathy might occur post-stroke, although their prevalence is considerably lower. However, there are differences in the onset of MDD among mood disorders. Some mood disorders develop gradually and can persist for a lifetime, potentially culminating in suicide. In contrast, PSD has a rapid onset because of the severe disruption of neural pathways essential for mood behavior caused by the lesion. However, PSD might also spontaneously resolve several months after a stroke, though it is associated with higher mortality. This review also provides a brief overview of the treatments currently available in medical practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This meta-analysis investigated the therapeutic efficacy of high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) for treatment of post-stroke depression (PSD). METHODS Ten articles with 266 patients in rTMS group and 258 patients in control group were included. The primary outcome was performed to examine the efficacy of rTMS for PSD. Secondary outcomes of response rates and remission rates and subgroup analyses were further explored. RESULTS Our meta-analysis revealed a significant pooled effect size (the standard mean difference (SMD) was -1.45 points (95% CI, -2.04 to -0.86; p < 0.00001)). The odds ratio (OR) of the response rate and remission rate were 8.41 (95% CI, 2.52-28.12, p = 0.0005) and 6.04 (95% CI, 1.5-24.39, p = 0.01). Moreover, rTMS treatment for PSD patients in subacute phase and targeting the left DLPFC at 5-cm anterior to the left motor hotspot or the midpoint of the middle frontal gyrus showed significant antidepressant effect. In addition, the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) was sensitive to detect depressive changes in patients. CONCLUSIONS Our meta-analysis elucidated that the application of high-frequency rTMS over the left DLPFC was an effective treatment alternative for PSD. SIGNIFICANCE Our meta-analysis may help to develop more reasonable treatment strategies in clinical practice for PSD patients.

Abstract
Post-stroke depression (PSD) affects approximately one-third of stroke survivors, severely impacting general recovery and quality of life. Despite extensive studies, the exact mechanisms underlying PSD remain elusive. However, emerging evidence implicates proinflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and interleukin-18, play critical roles in PSD development. These cytokines contribute to PSD through various mechanisms, including hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis dysfunction, neurotransmitter alterations, neurotrophic factor changes, gut microbiota imbalances, and genetic predispositions. This review is aimed at exploring the role of cytokines in stroke and PSD while identifying their potential as specific therapeutic targets for managing PSD. A more profound understanding of the mechanisms regulating inflammatory cytokine expression and anti-inflammatory cytokines like interleukin-10 in PSD may facilitate the development of innovative interventions to improve outcomes for stroke survivors experiencing depression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The study sought to examine the impact of longitudinal changes in depressive symptoms in middle-aged adults before and after their first stroke, and the impact of different ages. METHODS The study monitored middle-aged patients with a first stroke in the China Family Panel Study (CFPS) survey from 2016 to 2020. This study examined longitudinal changes in depressive symptoms in middle-aged adults and their controls before and after stroke using multilevel models, and also explored factors influencing middle-aged adults at the time of their respective stroke and depressive symptoms using conditional regression models and stepwise regression models, respectively. A chi-square test was used to determine whether long-term changes in depressive symptoms in patients before and after stroke could be attributed to changes in a single depressive symptom. RESULTS The study identified 582 first-time stroke patients and 5522 controls from a population of 17,588 participants. Middle-aged populations may have an increased risk of depressive symptoms after a first stroke compared to older populations. First-time stroke victims showed increased severity of depressive symptoms in both the two years before and the two years after stroke when depressive symptoms were assessed. Differences in the presentation of a single depressive symptom were most pronounced in sleep-related symptoms. CONCLUSIONS The link between first stroke and changes in the trajectory of increased depressive symptoms is complex and bidirectional. Age is an important factor influencing changes in depressive symptoms, some attention should be paid to the middle-aged population. Special attention should also be paid to sleep-related symptoms in the long-term care of patients.

Abstract
Objective To construct a comprehensive nomogram model for predicting the risk of post-stroke depression (PSD) by using clinical data that are easily collected in the early stages, and the level of DNA methylation, so as to help doctors and patients prevent the occurrence of PSD as soon as possible. Methods We continuously recruited 226 patients with a history of acute ischemic stroke and followed up for three months. Socio-demographic indicators, vascular-risk factors, and clinical data were collected at admission, and the outcome of depression was evaluated at the third month after stroke. At the same time, a DNA-methylation-related sequencing test was performed on the fasting peripheral blood of the hospitalized patients which was taken the morning after admission. Results A total of 206 samples were randomly divided into training dataset and validation set according to the ratio of 7:3. We screened 24 potentially-predictive factors by Univariate logistic regression and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis, and 10 of the factors were found to have predictive ability in the training set. The PSD nomogram model was established based on seven significant variables in multivariate logistic regression. The consistency statistic (C-index) was as high as 0.937, and the area under curve (AUC) in the ROC analysis was 0.933. Replication analysis results in the validation set suggest the C-index was 0.953 and AUC was 0.926. This shows that the model has excellent calibration and differentiating abilities. Conclusion Gender, Rankin score, history of hyperlipidemia, time from onset to hospitalization, location of stroke, National Institutes of Health Stroke scale (NIHSS) score, and the methylation level of the cg02550950 site are all related to the occurrence of PSD. Using this information, we developed a prediction model based on methylation characteristics.

Abstract
Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a frequent and disabling complication of stroke that affects up to one-third of stroke survivors. The pathophysiology of PSD involves multiple mechanisms, including neurochemical, neuroinflammatory, neurotrophic, and neuroplastic changes. Astrocytes are a type of glial cell that is plentiful and adaptable in the central nervous system. They play key roles in various mechanisms by modulating neurotransmission, inflammation, neurogenesis, and synaptic plasticity. This review summarizes the latest evidence of astrocyte involvement in PSD from human and animal studies, focusing on the alterations of astrocyte markers and functions in relation to monoamine neurotransmitters, inflammatory cytokines, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and glutamate excitotoxicity. We also discuss the potential therapeutic implications of targeting astrocytes for PSD prevention and treatment. Astrocytes could be new candidates for antidepressant medications and other interventions that aim to restore astrocyte homeostasis and function in PSD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a common complication following a stroke, significantly impacting patients' quality of life and mental well-being. Currently, two primary approaches are employed to treat PSD: drug therapy and non-drug therapy. Among these, acupuncture, specifically scalp acupuncture (SA), has gained attention due to its cost-effectiveness and broad social benefits. SA is a precise and direct form of acupuncture that has been utilized in the treatment of PSD. Although several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have demonstrated the efficacy of SA in treating PSD, there is a lack of comprehensive systematic reviews. Given the limitations of existing evidence, we conducted a systematic evaluation to assess the effectiveness of SA in combination with conventional therapy (CT) for intervening in PSD. METHODS We systematically searched five databases for articles published up until May 31, 2023, pertaining to SA treatment of PSD. A team of researchers meticulously screened and assessed these articles to identify the final included studies. After extracting relevant information and outcome indicators from the selected articles, we employed RevMan5.3 software to evaluate their quality and perform statistical analysis. Throughout our research, we strictly adhered to the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. RESULTS A total of 11 articles were included, and a meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of SA combined with CT for treating PSD. The results revealed that SA combined with CT can effectively improve the treatment's success rate for PSD and reduce the severity of depressive symptoms measured by the Self-Rating Depression Scale. However, SA combined with CT did not show significant reductions in depressive symptoms assessed by the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression, which may be related to the inclusion of high heterogeneity articles. Importantly, the combination treatment did not lead to an increase in adverse reactions among PSD patients. CONCLUSION While the effectiveness of SA combined with CT in treating PSD still requires further validation through rigorous randomized double-blind trials, this study provides a comprehensive collection of studies that meet the criteria for SA combined with CT in PSD treatment. It objectively and systematically evaluated the impact of SA combined with CT on PSD. Consequently, the findings of this study hold certain clinical significance.

Abstract
Previous research into the phenomenological differences of post-stroke depression (PSD) has typically focused on comparisons of symptom profiles between stroke and non-stroke population controls. This systematic review aimed to synthesize these findings with results from other methodological approaches that contribute to an understanding of phenomenological differences. Articles were identified via a systematic search of seven databases and additional manual searching. A narrative synthesis approach was adopted because of the high methodological heterogeneity. Twelve articles comparing the symptomatology of depression between stroke and non-stroke controls were included. Three distinct methodological approaches, relevant to the aim, were identified: comparisons of profiles among groups with similar overall depression severity, comparisons of the strengths of correlations between a symptom and depression, and comparisons of latent symptom severity. The symptomatology of depression was generally similar between the groups, including somatic symptoms, despite the hypothesized interference of comorbid physical stroke effects. Despite high heterogeneity, there was a tentative indication that post-stroke depression manifests with comparatively less severe/prevalent anhedonia. Possible mechanisms for the observed similarities and differences are explored, including suggestions for future research.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Post-stroke depression is a depressive mood disorder that follows a cerebrovascular accident and is a burden on stroke patients. Its management is included in clinical practice guidelines focused on stroke, and the recommended treatment is selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors in conjunction with psychotherapy. Clinical practice guidelines are recommendations used to standardize best medical practice, but there is no current evaluation of guidelines containing post stroke depression recommendations. Thus, the objective is to appraise the selected guidelines manner of development and quality. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic literature review across three databases and a manual google search was performed to collect guidelines that included recommendations on the management of post-stroke depression. 1236 guidelines were screened, and 27 were considered for inclusion. Considered guidelines were manually reviewed by the authors, and ultimately, 7 met inclusion criteria. The appraisal of guidelines for research and evaluation was used to evaluate these guidelines' recommendations around post-stroke depression. RESULTS Three guidelines met the threshold considered "High", with all of them having five or more quality domains eclipse the cutoff score of 70%. Across all guidelines, the highest scoring domains were "Scope and Purpose", "Clarity of Presentation", and "Editorial Independence" with scores of 76.98%, 73.81%, and 91.36% respectively. The lowest scoring domains were "Applicability", "Rigor of Development", and "Stakeholder Involvement" with respective scores of 58.73%, 54.02%, and 43.90%. CONCLUSIONS The domains "Applicability", "Rigor of Development," and "Stakeholder Involvement" were the lowest scoring domains. These specific domains represent areas in which future guidelines could be more developed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Post-stroke depression (PSD), as one of the common complications after stroke, seriously affects the physical and mental health and functional prognosis of patients. Previous studies have shown that the increase of inflammatory mediators is associated with the occurrence of PSD. Lipocalin 2 (LCN2), as an acute phase protein, is involved in the development of acute ischemic stroke (AIS), and its expression is up-regulated in patients with depression, suggesting that there is a potential correlation between serum LCN2 and depression. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between serum LCN2 at admission and PSD at discharge. METHODS A total of 358 AIS patients were retrospectively included. All patients had fasting venous blood taken within 24 h of admission to detect serum LCN2. The patients were evaluated by 17-item Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) before discharge. Patients with HAMD score > 7 were diagnosed with PSD. The correlation between serum LCN2 and PSD was tested using binary logistic regression analysis. RESULTS In our study, 92 (25.7%) patients were diagnosed with PSD at discharge. According to the serum LCN2 value, the patients were divided into three layers (Tertile1 ≤ 105.24ng/ml; Tertile2: 105.24-140.12ng/ml; Tertile3 ≥ 140.12ng/ml), with T1 layer (the lowest levels) as a reference, after adjusting for multiple potential confounding factors, T3 layer (the highest levels) was independently associated with the occurrence of PSD (odds ratio [OR] = 2.639, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.317-5.287, P = 0.006). Similar results were found when the serum LCN2 was analyzed as a continuous variable. The optimal cut-off value of serum LCN2 at admission to predict PSD at discharge was 117.60ng/ml, at this threshold, the sensitivity was 77.2%, and the specificity was 53.4%. CONCLUSIONS High serum LCN2 levels at admission are an independent risk factor for PSD in patients with AIS at discharge.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-stroke depression (PSD) was one of the most prevalent and serious neuropsychiatric effects after stroke. Nevertheless, the association between liver function test indices and PSD remains elusive, and there is a lack of effective prediction tools. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between the liver function test indices and PSD, and construct a prediction model for PSD. METHODS All patients were selected from seven medical institutions of Chongqing Medical University from 2015 to 2021. Variables including demographic characteristics and liver function test indices were collected from the hospital electronic medical record system. Univariate analysis, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and logistic regression analysis were used to screen the predictors. Subsequently, logistic regression, random forest (RF), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT), categorical boosting (CatBoost) and support vector machine (SVM) were adopted to build the prediction model. Furthermore, a series of evaluation indicators such as area under curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, F1 were used to assess the performance of the prediction model. RESULTS A total of 464 PSD and 1621 stroke patients met the inclusion criteria. Six liver function test items, namely AST, ALT, TBA, TBil, TP, ALB/GLB, were closely associated with PSD, and included for the construction of the prediction model. In the test set, logistic regression model owns the AUC of 0.697. Compared with the other four machine learning models, the GBDT model has the best predictive performance (F1 = 0.498, AUC = 0.761) and was chosen to establish the prediction tool. CONCLUSIONS The prediction model constructed using these six predictors with GBDT algorithm displayed a promising prediction ability, which could be used for the participating hospital units or individuals by mobile phone or computer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this study, inverse moxibustion was performed at the Baihui and Dazhui points in patients with ischemic stroke, and the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale 17 (HAMD) score, National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, modified Barthel index (MBI) score, and incidence of post-stroke depression (PSD) were observed. METHODS Eighty patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled and randomly divided into two groups. All enrolled patients were given routine treatment for ischemic stroke, and those in the treatment group were also given moxibustion at the Baihui and Dazhui points. The course of treatment was four weeks. The HAMD, NIHSS, and MBI scores of the two groups were evaluated before and four weeks after the treatment. The differences between the groups and the incidence of PSD were evaluated to determine the effect of inverse moxibustion at the Baihui and Dazhui points on the HAMD, NIHSS, and MBI scores and prevention of PSD in patients with ischemic stroke. RESULTS After the four weeks of treatment, the HAMD and NIHSS scores of the treatment group were lower than those of the control group, their MBI was higher than that of the control group, and their incidence of PSD was statistically significantly lower than that of the control group. CONCLUSION Inverse moxibustion at the Baihui acupoint in patients with ischemic stroke can effectively promote the recovery of neurological function, improve depression, and reduce the incidence of PSD and should be considered for application in clinical practice.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Post-stroke depression (PSD), one of the most common complications following stroke, affects approximately one-third of stroke patients and is significantly associated with increased disability and mortality as well as decreased quality of life, which makes it an important public health concern. Treatment of PSD significantly ameliorates depressive symptoms and improves the prognosis of stroke. AREAS COVERED The authors discuss the critical aspects of the clinical application of prediction and preventive treatment of PSD. Then, the authors update the biological factors associated with the onset of PSD. Furthermore, they summarize the recent progress in pharmacological preventive treatment in clinical trials and propose potential treatment targets. The authors also discuss the current roadblocks in the preventive treatment of PSD. Finally, the authors put postulate potential directions for future studies so as to discover accurate predictors and provide individualized preventive treatment. EXPERT OPINION Sorting out high-risk PSD patients using reliable predictors will greatly assist PSD management. Indeed, some predictors not only predict the incidence of PSD but also predict prognosis, which indicates that they might also aid the development of an individualized treatment scheme. Preventive application of antidepressants may also be considered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-stroke depression (PSD) is one of the most frequent psychiatric disorders after stroke. However, the underlying brain mechanism of PSD remains unclarified. Using the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) approach, we aimed to investigate the abnormalities of neural activity in PSD patients, and further explored the frequency and time properties of ALFF changes in PSD. METHODS Resting-state fMRI data and clinical data were collected from 39 PSD patients (PSD), 82 S patients without depression (Stroke), and 74 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HC). ALFF across three frequency bands (ALFF-Classic: 0.01-0.08 Hz; ALFF-Slow4: 0.027-0.073 Hz; ALFF-Slow5: 0.01-0.027 Hz) and dynamic ALFF (dALFF) were computed and compared among three groups. Ridge regression analyses and spearman's correlation analyses were further applied to explore the relationship between PSD-specific alterations and depression severity in PSD. RESULTS We found that PSD-specific alterations of ALFF were frequency-dependent and time-variant. Specially, compared to both Stroke and HC groups, PSD exhibited increased ALFF in the contralesional dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and insula in all three frequency bands. Increased ALFF in ipsilesional DLPFC were observed in both slow-4 and classic frequency bands which were positively correlated with depression scales in PSD, while increased ALFF in the bilateral hippocampus and contralesional rolandic operculum were only found in slow-5 frequency band. These PSD-specific alterations in different frequency bands could predict depression severity. Moreover, decreased dALFF in contralesional superior temporal gyrus were observed in PSD group. LIMITATIONS Longitudinal studies are required to explore the alterations of ALFF in PSD as the disease progress. CONCLUSIONS The frequency-dependent and time-variant properties of ALFF could reflect the PSD-specific alterations in complementary ways, which may assist to elucidate underlying neural mechanisms and be helpful for early diagnosis and interventions for the disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression symptoms are common after stroke, and affect survivors' recovery of neurological function, ability to return to society, and quality of life. Telehealth has been shown to improve depression symptoms and quality of life among patients post-stroke. However, evidence from clinical trials has not previously been systematically synthesized. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to systematically evaluate the effectiveness of telehealth interventions in reducing depression symptoms among patients post-stroke. METHODS Following the PRISMA guidelines, we conducted a meta-analysis of randomized control trials of telehealth interventions for post-stroke depression symptoms. The quality of included studies was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool. RevMan 5.4 software was used for the meta-analysis. Data were synthesized by fixed (I2 ≤ 50 %) or random (I2 > 50 %) effects models based on a heterogeneity test. RESULTS In total, 10 studies with 1717 participants were included, eight of which were eligible for the meta-analysis. There were no significant differences in efficacy between the telehealth and control groups for depression symptoms (standardized mean difference [SMD] = -0.16, 95 % confidence interval [CI] -0.67 to 0.36; P = .54), quality of life (SMD = 0.00, 95%CI -0.18 to 0.18; P = .99), limb function (SMD = 0.46, 95%CI -0.26 to 1.18; P = .21), and daily living ability (SMD = 0.38, 95%CI -1.39 to 2.15; P = .67). The telemedicine group had significantly lower anxiety scores than the control group (SMD = -1.05, 95%CI -1.22 to -0.89; P < .001). LIMITATIONS The number of RCTs included in the review was relatively small. CONCLUSIONS The efficacy of telehealth interventions in reducing depression symptoms in patients post-stroke is no different from conventional nursing. However, large-scale, high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed to further explore the potential of telehealth interventions in improving mental health among patients post-stroke.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In patients with post-stroke depression (PSD) in diabetes, the situation may be more complex, requiring simultaneous treatment of blood glucose, depressive symptoms, and neurological dysfunction. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy can improve tissue oxygen content and improve the situation of ischemia and hypoxia, thus playing a role in protecting brain cells and restoring the function of brain cells. However, there are few studies on HBO therapy for patients with PSD. This study explores the clinical efficacy of such therapy for stroke complicated with depression and diabetes mellitus, and to provide reference and basis for clinical treatment and development through the application of relevant rating scales and laboratory test indicators.
AIM To evaluate the clinical effects of HBO therapy on patients with diabetes with PSD.
METHODS A total of 190 diabetic patients with PSD were randomly divided into observation and control groups (95 patients per group). The control group received escitalopram oxalate 10mg once a day for eight weeks. In addition, the ob-servation group was also given HBO therapy, once a day, five times a week, for eight weeks. The Montgomery Depression Rating Scale (MADRS), National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), hypersensitive C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and fasting glucose levels were compared.
RESULTS There were no significant differences in age, sex, or depression course between the groups (P > 0.05). After HBO treatment, MADRS scores in both groups decreased significantly (14.3 ± 5.2), and were significantly lower in the control group (18.1 ± 3.5). After HBO treatment, NIHSS scores in both groups decreased significantly, and scores in the observation group (12.2 ± 4.0) decreased more than in the control group (16.1 ± 3.4), the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.001). The levels of hypersensitive C-reactive protein and TNF-α in both groups were significantly decreased, and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group (P < 0.001). Fasting blood glucose levels in both groups decreased significantly, and those in the observation group decreased more (8.02 ± 1.10) than in the control group (9.26 ± 1.04), with statistical significance (t = -7.994, P < 0.001).
CONCLUSION HBO therapy can significantly improve depressive symptoms and neurological dysfunction in patients with PSD, and reduce the levels of hypersensitive C-reactive protein, TNF-α and fasting blood glucose.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has attracted considerable attention because of its non-invasiveness, minimal side effects, and treatment efficacy. Despite an adequate duration of rTMS treatment, some patients with post-stroke depression (PSD) do not achieve full symptom response or remission. METHODS This was a prospective randomized controlled trial. Participants receiving rTMS were randomly assigned to the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (VMPFC), left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), or contralateral motor area (M1) groups in a ratio of 1:1:1. Enrollment assessments and data collection were performed in weeks 0, 2, 4, and 8. The impact of depressive symptom dimensions on treatment outcomes were tested using a linear mixed-effects model fitted with maximum likelihood. Univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA) and back-testing were used to analyze the differences between the groups. RESULTS In total, 276 patients were included in the analysis. Comparisons across groups showed that 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD-17) scores of the DLPFC group significantly differed from those of the VMPFC and M1 groups at 2, 4, and 8 weeks after treatment (p < 0.05). A higher observed mood score (β = -0.44, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -0.85-0.04, p = 0.030) could predict a greater improvement in depressive symptoms in the DLPFC group. Higher neurovegetative scores (β = 0.60, 95% CI: 0.25-0.96, p = 0.001) could predict less improvement of depressive symptoms in the DLPFC group. CONCLUSION Stimulation of the left DLPFC by high-frequency rTMS (HF-rTMS) could significantly improve depressive symptoms in the subacute period of subcortical ischemic stroke, and the dimension of depressive symptoms at admission might predict the treatment effect.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lesion locations of post-stroke depression (PSD) mapped to a depression circuit which centered by the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). However, it remains unknown whether the compensatory adaptations that may occur in this depression circuit due to the lesions in PSD. METHODS Rs-fMRI data were collected from 82 non-depressed stroke patients (Stroke), 39 PSD patients and 74 healthy controls (HC). We tested the existence of depression circuit, examined PSD-related alterations of DLPFC-seeded connectivity and their associations with depression severity, and analyzed the connectivity between each repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) target and DLPFC to find the best treatment target for PSD. RESULTS We found that: 1) the left DLPFC showed significantly stronger connectivity to lesions of PSD than Stroke group; 2) in comparison to both Stroke and HC groups, PSD exhibited increased connectivity with DLPFC in bilateral lingual gyrus, contralesional superior frontal gyrus, precuneus, and middle frontal gyrus (MFG); 3) the connectivity between DLPFC and the contralesional lingual gyrus positively correlated with depression severity; 4) the rTMS target in center of MFG showed largest between-group difference in connectivity with DLPFC, and also reported the highest predicted clinical efficacy. LIMITATIONS Longitudinal studies are required to explore the alterations of depression circuit in PSD as the disease progress. CONCLUSION PSD underwent specific alterations in depression circuit, which may help to establish objective imaging markers for early diagnosis and interventions of the disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with post-stroke depression (PSD) usually experience anxiety, hopelessness, and insomnia, which have a negative impact on their daily activities and post-stroke rehabilitation. Acupuncture (AC), as a minimally invasive technique, has become a popular choice for improving depression symptoms. However, it is still unclear which therapy is associated with the best outcomes for PSD. In this review, we aimed to explore the impact of AC in alleviating symptoms of PSD and to evaluate the difference in effectiveness between AC combined with pharmacotherapies and various non-pharmacotherapies. METHODS Six databases and three clinical trials registration platforms were searched from inception to March 2023. Randomized clinical trial comparing needle-based AC with pharmacotherapy, and other non-pharmacotherapy or invalid group were included. Two independent reviewers identified eligible studies, and collected data using a pre-made form. A Bayesian network meta-analysis was conducted to assess and compare different techniques using RStudio 3.6.0 with the package 'GEMTC' V.0.8.1. The primary outcome was the efficacy for PSD assessed by scales measuring depressive symptoms. The secondary outcomes were effectiveness for neurological function and the quality of life. The ranking probabilities for all treatment interventions was performed using the Surface Under the Cumulative Ranking curve (SUCRA). The risk of bias was assessed by using the Revised Cochrane Risk of Bias tool 2. RESULTS Sixty-two studies, involving 5308 participants published from 2003 to 2022, were included. The results showed that compared with western medicine (WM) (defined as pharmacotherapy for PSD), AC alone or with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (RTMS), Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) alone or with WM, were superior for alleviating depression symptoms. Compared to Usual Care, AC alone or plus other therapies could significantly decrease scores on the Hamilton Depression Rating scale. According to result of SUCRA, AC plus RTMS had the highest probability of improving depressive symptoms with a probability of 49.43%. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study indicate that AC alone or combined with other therapies appears to be effective in improving depression symptoms of stroke survivors. Moreover, in comparison to WM, AC alone or plus RTMS, TCM, TCM with WM, or WM, were more effective in improving depression symptoms of PSD. Also, AC with RTMS seems to be the most effective with the highest probability. REGISTRATION This study was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) database in November 2020 and updated in July 2021. The registration number is CRD42020218752.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Identifying high-risk patients based on modifiable clinical characteristics, such as malnutrition, is critical to intervening with these variables to reduce the risk of post-stroke depression (PSD). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of nutritional status on the risk of incident PSD and the trajectory of PSD risk. METHODS Consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke were recruited in this observational cohort and followed up for 1 year. Multivariate logistic regressions and multilevel mixed-effects logistic regressions with random intercepts and slopes were used to investigate the effects of nutritional indexes [the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score, the Nutritional Risk Index (NRI), and the Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI)] and body mass index (BMI) on the risk of incident PSD and the trajectory of PSD risk over the 12-month observation period. RESULTS A total of 538 patients were included in the final analysis. Worsening CONUT [odds ratio (OR) = 1.36; confidence interval (CI): 1.15-1.61], NRI (OR = 0.91; CI: 0.87-0.96) and PNI (OR = 0.89; CI: 0.84-0.95) scores were significantly associated with an increased risk of incident PSD. Moderate and severe risk malnutrition statuses were associated with higher incidences of PSD regardless of the malnutrition index (CONUT, NRI or PNI). Additionally, PSD risk decreased over time with a significant two-way interaction between time and CONUT, NRI, and PNI, implying that patients with elevated exposure to malnutrition showed a slower decline in PSD risk. BMI had no significant effect on the occurrence and development of PSD. CONCLUSION Malnutrition, but not BMI, was associated with a higher probability of incident PSD and was more likely to lead to a slower rate of decline in PSD risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression in patients with stroke has been a risk factor for adverse outcomes. Type D personality as a significant predictor of negative psychological status. However, the relationship with post-stroke depression (PSD) is still unclear. METHODS A prospective observational study of 533 patients with first-ever ischemic stroke was conducted between November 2020 and March 2021. Type D personality was assessed at baseline. The presence of depression was measured 3-month after discharge. RESULTS During 3-month follow-up, a total of 141 patients developed PSD. On multivariate logistic analysis, the main effect of negative affectivity (OR = 1.28, 95%CI = 1.03-1.61, p = 0.030) and social inhibition (OR = 1.25, 95%CI = 1.01-1.54, p = 0.039) showed significant correlation with PSD when Type D analyzed as continuous variables. Furthermore, positive effects were found for the negative affectivity and social inhibition interaction (OR = 1.31, 95 % CI =1.11-1.55, p = 0.001) on PSD. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that Type D personality is high risk group of PSD. These findings highlight the importance of personalized interventions management in Type D individuals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a common mental disorder of stroke survivors, its pathogenesis remains elusive. Previous studies suggested a role of the microbiota-gut-brain (MGB) axis in stroke and depression. In this study, we characterized microbial composition and function, and gut-brain metabolic signatures, in PSD rats. We aim to explore how disordered gut microbes participate in the pathogenesis of PSD through the MGB axis. MATERIALS AND METHODS 16S rRNA gene sequence and fecal metabolome analysis were performed to identify the gut microbiome and their functional metabolites in PSD rats. Then, the lipid metabolic signatures in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of PSD were conducted by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry. Finally, the potential pathway between gut and brain in the onset of PSD were explored. RESULTS Compared to control and stroke rats, there were 10 genera (most of them belonged to phylum Firmicutes) significantly changed and 3 short chain fatty acids (SCFAs: butyric acid, acetic acid and pentanoic acid) significantly decreased in PSD rats. Meanwhile, altered gut microbial in PSD rats was significantly associated with these SCFAs. Compared with control and stroke rats, 57 lipid metabolites in the PFC of PSD rats were significantly changed. In addition, the altered SCFAs in PSD rats were also significantly correlated with most of disordered lipid metabolites in PFC. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that the SCFAs may be a bridge of gut-brain communication. The Firmicutes-SCFAs-lipid metabolism might be a potential pathway to further investigate the MGB axis and pathogenesis of PSD.

Abstract
Post-stroke depression (PSD) is one of the most common neuropsychiatric consequence of stroke, affecting cognitive function, recovery of somatic function, and patient survival. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether Chaihu-Shugan-San, a traditional Chinese medicine formula used clinically to treat depression, could improve symptoms in a rat model for PSD, to investigate the potential mechanisms, and to validate the findings in an in vitro oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) model. Male rats were subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and to chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS). The rats were then allocated to experimental groups (n = 15) that were treated with Chaihu-Shugan-San, a JAK-STAT3 inhibitor, a GSK3β overexpressing virus, or an empty virus (control). The subjects allocated to each group, as well as those that received no treatment and rats that did not undergo MCAO/CUMS, were then subjected to forced swimming, tail suspension, and sugar water preference tests, and their neurological deficit score was determined. Inflammatory factor levels and the expression of proteins related to the JAK/STAT3-GSK3β/PTEN/Akt pathway were measured, and the synaptic ultrastructure was observed using transmission electron microscopy. Flow cytometry showed microglia polarization towards the M1 phenotype in an in vitro PSD model, which was reversed after treatment with a GSK3β overexpression virus, Chaihu-Shugan-San, or a JAK-STAT3 inhibitor. The results showed that Chaihu-Shugan-San has a therapeutic effect on an in vivo model for PSD and can regulate microglia polarization through the activation of the JAK/STAT3-GSK3β/PTEN/Akt pathway, suggesting that it exerts its effect via the inhibition of neuroinflammation.

Abstract
Despite contemporary rehabilitation strategies, stroke remains a leading cause of loss of function, limited mobility, psycho-social complications, and decreased quality of life. Stroke rehabilitation is a process that aims to prevent deterioration of function, increase function, and assist the patient in achieving the highest possible level of independence physically, socially, spiritually, psychologically, vocationally, and economically. The process begins with relearning activities of daily living such as grooming, bathing, toileting, eating, and dressing. As the patient progresses, stroke rehabilitation works on instrumental activities of daily living such as housekeeping, cooking, driving, and managing financial responsibilities.

Abstract
Despite the accumulated evidence that pair housing could attenuate post-stroke depression (PSD), but less attention has been paid to the healthy cohabitors, and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to determine whether there is depressive contagion between PSD mice and their healthy cohabitors. PSD was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) plus restraint stress for four weeks. Three days after MCAO, the mice were restrained two hours per day and isosexually pair-housed for four weeks. The results showed that, compared with the partners pair housed with normal control mice (Ctrl group), the partners pair housed with PSD mice (CH group) displayed depressive-like behaviors, including decreased sucrose preference rate, significantly shorter duration in the center arena and reduced total distance in the open-field test, and extended immobile time in forced swimming test and tail-suspension test without sex differences. Regarding the change in the body weight, only the males showed a significant reduction on days 17 and 24 after treatment. Furthermore, the CH group showed significantly increased corticosterone and decreased oxytocin (OXT) levels in serum, while the mRNA levels of OXT, vasopressin and oxytocin receptor were remarkably upregulated in the hypothalamus of the CH group. However, there was no significant change in the vasopressin receptor V1a. Interestingly, compared with the Ctrl group, there was a significant decrease in butyrate in serum of the CH group. Consistently, they had mild liver dysfunction with increased alanine transaminase, extended hepatic sinus surrounded by enhanced SLC22A9, and significantly increased Iba1-positive macrophages. Moreover, the expression of tight junction protein (Occludin and ZO-1) obviously decreased in the colon with increasing Iba1-positive cells. These results suggest that isosexual pair-housing with PSD mice causes the healthy partners to develop depressive-like behaviors with disturbances in the gut and liver.

Abstract
To elucidate whether cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) improves depression-like behavior of post-stroke depression (PSD) via regulation of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4)-mediated brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression. Middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) were used to develop a rat PSD model. CES was applied, and RAS-selective lethal 3 (RSL3) was injected into the hippocampus to inhibit GPX4 in PSD rats. The depression behavior was detected by sucrose preference and forced swimming tests. The structure and morphology of the hippocampus were observed and analyzed by histopathological hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The mRNA and protein expressions of GPX4 and BDNF in the hippocampus were detected by qRT-PCR, western blot and immunohistochemical analysis.The degeneration and necrosis of hippocampal neurons, the depression-like behavior were severer and the expression of BDNF in the hippocampus were decreased in PSD rats than those in MCAO and control groups. CES promoted the hippocampal neuron repair, alleviated the depression-like behavior and increased the expression of BDNF in PSD rats. The inhibition of GPX4 by RSL3 exacerbated the depression-like behavior and decreased the expression of BDNF in PSD rats. In addition, we found that RSL3 disrupted the positive effects of CES on the PSD rats. Conclusion: CES improves depression-like behavior of PSD rats through upregulation of GPX4-mediated BDNF expression in the hippocampus.

Abstract
Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a serious and common complication of stroke, which seriously affects the rehabilitation of stroke patients. To date, the pathogenesis of PSD is unclear and effective treatments remain unavailable. Here, we established a mouse model of PSD through photothrombosis-induced focal ischemia. By using a combination of brain imaging, transcriptome sequencing, and bioinformatics analysis, we found that the hippocampus of PSD mice had a significantly lower metabolic level than other brain regions. RNA sequencing revealed a significant reduction of miR34b-3p, which was expressed in hippocampal neurons and inhibited the translation of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E). Furthermore, silencing eIF4E inactivated microglia, inhibited neuroinflammation, and abolished the depression-like behaviors in PSD mice. Together, our data demonstrated that insufficient miR34b-3p after stroke cannot inhibit eIF4E translation, which causes PSD by the activation of microglia in the hippocampus. Therefore, miR34b-3p and eIF4E may serve as potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of PSD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few observational studies have investigated the association of dietary antioxidant intake with post-stroke depression (PSD) risk. We used the cross-sectional and longitudinal design to investigate the independent and joint associations between dietary antioxidant intake and PSD risk and all-cause mortality. METHODS Participants from the 2005-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) aged 20 years and older with stroke were included. Logistic and Cox regression analyses were used to assess the associations of dietary antioxidant intake, including vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, selenium, and carotenoids, and composite dietary antioxidant index (CDAI) with PSD risk and all-cause mortality. RESULTS The highest quartile of dietary vitamin A (OR: 0.54, 95%CI: 0.32, 0.92), total carotenoids (OR: 0.56, 95%CI: 0.34, 0.94), and selenium intake (OR: 0.53, 95%CI: 0.31, 0.90) were associated with decreased PSD risk compared with those in the lowest quartile. The results showed a negative association between CDAI and PSD risk, with the lowest OR in the third quartiles (OR: 0.49, 95%CI: 0.30, 0.83). Furthermore, the highest quartile of dietary vitamin A (HR: 0.63, 95%CI: 0.45, 0.89), vitamin E (HR: 0.69, 95%CI: 0.48, 0.99), zinc (HR: 0.57, 95%CI: 0.40, 0.81), selenium (HR: 0.64, 95%CI: 0.46, 0.90), and total carotenoids (HR: 0.66, 95%CI: 0.47, 0.92) intake and CDAI (HR: 0.56, 95%CI: 0.39, 0.81) were associated with decreased all-cause mortality compared with those in the lowest quartile. CONCLUSION Increased intake of dietary antioxidant may protect from depressive symptoms and improve the prognosis of stroke patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE To synthesize the body of knowledge on the factors influencing the quality of life (QoL) after ischemic stroke (IS) in young adults. METHODS Guidelines regarding the scoping review methodology developed by the Joanna Briggs Institute, and the PRISMA-ScR checklist for a scoping review was used in this paper. A total of 1197 studies were identified through a bibliographic search in Web of Science, MEDLINE, PsycInfo, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and ProQuest Science Database. Articles published between the years 2000-2021 were included. RESULTS A total of nine papers were finally selected to respond to the research question. Three studies were prospective longitudinal studies compared QoL between young stroke and age-matched controls from the general population. Across all the analysed studies, 14 variables potentially associated with QoL were identified. QoL in young patients is mainly affected by clinical outcomes after IS (scored by the modified Rankin scale and the Barthel index-favourable initial functional status and higher independence in ADL leads to higher QoL) and psychological factors (post-stroke fatigue and depression-higher levels of fatigue and depression lead to lower QoL). The reviewed studies emphasized the importance of functional outcomes, post-stroke depression, fatigue and anxiety and early return to work. CONCLUSION Further longitudinal studies are needed to identify the trajectory of post-stroke psychosocial symptoms over time and other potential predictors of unfavourable long-term QoL, thus specific young stroke rehabilitation and stroke self-management support programmes should be developed (address physical, psychological factors which influence the psychosocial adaptation post-stroke and the perception of the QoL).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Post-stroke depression (PSD) is the most common emotional problem following a stroke. White matter hyperintensities (WMHs) are often reported in patients with a stroke, and are often divided into deep WMHs (DWMHs) and periventricular WMHs (PVWMHs). The relationship between WMHs and PSD remains controversial. This review aims to resolve this controversy. METHODS A systematic search of electronic databases was conducted for studies. We extracted the relevant data and evaluated the study quality by using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. We pooled odds ratios (OR) for the same type of WMHs that were present in the relevant PSD period. RESULTS 15 studies (n = 4133 patients) met our inclusion criteria. In the acute phase, WMHs, DWMHs, severe WMHs, and severe DWMHs were not significant risk factors for incident depression, but PVWMHs (pooled OR, 1.21; 95 % CI, 1.01-1.44) and severe PVWMHs (pooled OR, 1.72; 95 % CI, 1.12-2.65) had a significant association with PSD. In the subacute phase, DWMHs, DWMHs, and severe WMHs were not significantly associated with PSD, but PVWMHs (pooled OR, 2.44; 95 % CI, 1.25-4.76) showed a significant association with PSD. In the chronic phase, severe PVWMHs had no significant association with PSD, while WMHs (pooled OR, 1.063; 95 % CI, 1.03-1.09), DWMHs (pooled OR, 1.40; 95 % CI, 1.11-1.76), PVWMHs (pooled OR, 1.28; 95 % CI, 1.11-1.48), and severe DWMHs (pooled OR, 1.52; 95 % CI, 1.12-2.05) showed a significant association with PSD. CONCLUSION We found a significant association between WMHs/DWMHs/PVWMHs and PSD in the chronic post-stroke phase. PVWMHs had a stronger correlation with PSD in each period after stroke than WMHs and DWMHs. High-quality prospective studies are still needed to fully resolve this relationship.

Abstract
Background Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a common neuropsychological complication after a stroke with a range of poor outcomes. Evidence of gut microbiota disorder for PSD has recently accumulated. This study aimed to systematically evaluate the association between PSD and gut microbiota. Methods We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and VIP, CNKI, Wangfang without language restrictions for eligible studies and performed a meta-analysis and systematic review to assess the pooled differences in gut microbiota compositions between PSD and healthy individuals. Results We included nine eligible studies reporting the differences in the intestinal microbiome between PSD and healthy control. The pooled results demonstrated that the sequencing depth index (Good's coverage), richness indexes (Chao1 and ACE), evenness, and alpha diversity (Shannon and Simpson) were not significantly changed in PSD patients as compared to healthy controls. The observed species (operational taxonomic unit, OUT) in PSD was significantly higher than that in healthy individuals (SMD, 1.86, 95%CI: 1.47 to 2.25). Furthermore, we observed significant differences between PSD and healthy individuals at the phylum level. The pooled estimation of relative abundance of Proteobacteria (SMD, 0.37, 95%CI: 0.19 to 0.55), Bacteroidetes (SMD, 1.87, 95%CI: 1.25 to 2.48), and Fusobacteria (SMD, 1.06, 95%CI: 0.76 to 1.37) in patients with PSD significantly was increased as compared to controls, while the pooled relative abundance of Firmicutes (SMD, -0.84, 95%CI: -1.21 to -0.47) was significantly decreased in PSD as compared to healthy controls. Moreover, significant differences in intestinal microbiota were observed between PSD patients and healthy controls at the family and genus levels. Conclusions This meta-analysis indicates a significant alteration of observed species and microbiota composition at the phylum, family and genus levels in PSD as compared to healthy individuals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-stroke depression (PSD) is one of the most common neuropsychiatric complications after stroke. The occurrence, development and prognosis of PSD have long been different between males and females. The main purpose of this study was to explore the influencing factors of PSD at 3 months in males and females, and construct random forest (RF) models to rank the influencing factors. METHODS This is a prospective multicenter cohort study (Registration number: ChiCTR-ROC-17013993). Stroke patients hospitalized in the department of Neurology of three hospitals in Wuhan were enrolled from May 2018 to August 2019. Scale assessments were performed 24 hours after admission and 3 months after stroke onset. Binary logistic regression analysis was used for univariate and multivariate (stepwise backward method) analysis, when p was less than 0.05, the difference between groups was considered statistically significant. Lastly, the RF models were constructed according to the results of multivariate regression analysis. RESULTS This study found that several baseline variables were associated with PSD at 3 months in males and females. RF model ranked them as stroke severity (OR [odds ratio] =1.17, p < 0.001, 95%CI [confidence interval]:1.11-1.24), neuroticism dimension (OR = 1.06, p = 0.002, 95%CI:1.02-1.10), physical exercise (OR = 0.62, p = 0.007, 95%CI:0.44-0.88), sleeping time < 5 h (OR = 1.91, p = 0.006, 95% CI:1.20-3.04) and atrial fibrillation (OR = 4.18, p = 0.012, 95%CI:1.38-12.68) in males. In females, RF model ranked them as psychological resilience (OR = 0.98, p = 0.015, 95%CI:0.96-1.00), ability of daily living (OR = 0.98, p = 0.001, 95%CI:0.97-0.99), neuroticism dimension (OR = 1.11, p = 0.002, 95%CI:1.04-1.18) and subjective support (OR = 1.11, p < 0.001, 95%CI:1.05-1.78). CONCLUSION The study found influencing factors of PSD at 3 months were different in males and females, and construct RF models to rank them according to their importance. This suggests that clinicians should focus their interventions on sex-specific influencing factors in order to improve the prognosis of PSD patients. TRIAL REGISTRATION ChiCTR-ROC-17013993.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Post-stroke depression (PSD) is an important and frequent non-motor complication after a stroke. As valid prediction of PSD occurrence is still not possible, the unselective use of preventive therapy in stroke patients has risen a questionable risk-to-benefit consideration. Therefore, there is a need to increase the prediction probability of PSD to identify patients at very high risk of a depressive complication who might benefit from preventive therapy. In this context, a brainstem raphe hypoechogenicity (BRH) in transcranial sonography (TCS) has previously been associated with depressive symptoms in a broad spectrum of diseases. BRH might therefore represent a valid maker of vulnerability for depressive symptoms that could be of interest in the risk assessment of PSD occurrence. METHODS In the prognostic markers of post-stroke depression (PROMoSD) study, a prospective, observational, single-center, investigator-initiated study, we aim to include 100 patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Besides data on clinical characteristics and baseline psychiatric assessment, we conduct a TCS examination to identify patients with BRH. The primary outcome is the incidence of PSD three months after inclusion, determined by a blinded investigator according to the fifth version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) criteria. PERSPECTIVE The results of PROMoSD will answer the question of whether screening of BRH after AIS improves the prediction of PSD occurrence. A positive result of this study could have direct consequences on psychiatric support after AIS by streamlining diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms.

Abstract
Background Post-stroke depression (PSD) is one of the most common and serious sequelae of stroke. The pathogenesis of PSD involves both psychosocial and biological mechanisms, and aerobic exercise is a potential therapeutic target. We conducted an in-depth exploration of the protective mechanisms of aerobic exercise in a PSD mouse model. Methods In this study, C57BL/6 mice were used as the research objects, and a PSD mouse model was established by combining middle cerebral artery occlusion and chronic unpredictable mild stimulation. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, adeno-associated virus microinjection technology, co-immunoprecipitation, fluorescence in-situ hybridization, and western blotting were performed. A moderate-load treadmill exercise was used for aerobic exercise intervention. The moderate-intensity aerobic exercise training method adopted 0 slopes and treadmill adaptation training for 5 days. We verified the effects of aerobic exercise on the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB)/nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain--like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome/5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) pathway. Results Aerobic exercise effectively alleviated the neurological damage caused by PSD (P<0.01). The results from the PSD mouse model in vivo were consistent with those of the cell experiments. Moreover, overexpression of irisin improves depression-like behavior in PSD mice. We confirmed that aerobic exercise is involved in PSD through 5-HT, which inhibits NF-κB/NLRP3 inflammasome initiation through irisin and alleviates mitochondrial damage under stress by reducing calcium overload, thereby inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Conclusions Aerobic exercise reversed the NF-κB/NLRP3 inflammasome/5-HT pathway by upregulating irisin expression to alleviate PSD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The clinical application of music therapy and research into its use and effectiveness are common in Western countries. The physiological role of this type of therapy is to stimulate the central nervous system through music, which may have a sedative, analgesic effect, and reduce negative emotions. Previous studies have confirmed that music can be effective for a range of psychological disorders, including post-stroke depression (PSD). There is, however, a lack of systematic evaluation of its effectiveness, and variability in sample size and in the quality of research has detracted from the persuasiveness of findings. METHODS Based on PRISMA 2020, articles on music therapy intervention in post-stroke depression were identified through the Web of Science, PubMed, EMBASE, CNKI, Weipu, and Wanfang databases. The retrieval time was taken from the establishment of the database to October 18, 2022. Two researchers conducted a stringent evaluation of the quality of the articles and extracted the data. They then used RevMan5.3 software for meta-analysis. RESULTS Twenty articles were listed, involving 1625 patients. Meta-analysis results showed that music therapy could lower scores on the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS/Ham-D), the National Institutes of Health stroke scale and self-rated depression scale for patients with PSD. Music therapy was also shown to improve the Barthel Index for Activities of Daily Living and treatment efficacy of PSD patients. However, music therapy did not reduce the incidence of adverse reactions in PSD patients. CONCLUSION Music therapy has benefits in improving HDRS/Ham-D score and symptoms of PSD patients, and could be more widely applied.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiple investigations have shown that diabetes mellitus is a predictor of post-stroke depression (PSD). However, whether elevated levels of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) are associated with an increased risk of PSD remains controversial. METHODS We comprehensively searched databases for eligible studies. Standard mean differences and 95% confidence intervals were used to examine the relationship between peripheral blood glucose levels during the acute phase of stroke and the risk of PSD. Narrative syntheses and meta-analyses were conducted when appropriate unadjusted or adjusted ORs were available. RESULTS A total of 21 prospective cohort studies were included in the analysis. PSD patients had significantly higher peripheral blood glucose levels than non-PSD patients (FPG: SMD, 0.28, 95% CI, 0.11-0.45, p<0.01, HbA1c: SMD, 0.49, 95%CI, 0.20-0.78, p<0.01, respectively). In the subgroup analyses by classifying the time point of depression assessment, HbA1c was more statistically significant associated with the risk of PSD than FPG. Differences in the prevalence of diabetes were not heterogeneity sources. CONCLUSION Higher levels of peripheral blood glucose in the acute phase of stroke increase the risk of PSD. HbA1c might be a better biomarker for the risk of PSD than FPG.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Post stroke depression (PSD), which happens in 40%-60% stroke patients, is one of the most common complications after cerebrovascular accident. Shugan Jieyu Capsule (SGJYC), a traditional Chinese medicine, has been widely prescribed for PSD in China. AIM OF THE STUDY This study designed and conducted a PRISMA compliant meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy of SGJYC in treating adults with PSD of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) under the condition that none PRISMA-compliant systematic evaluation or meta-analysis was conducted to fully evaluate the efficacy of SGJYC. METHODS The study protocol has been registered in PROSPERO with registration number CRD42021250162. PubMed, ScienceDirect, CNKI, and Wanfang Databases were systematically searched to include eligible RCTs which used SGJYC and other antidepressants or placebo for the treatment of PSD adults with the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD). The Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 (RoB2) tool was used to evaluate the quality of included RCTs. Outcome measures including HAMD continuous data, efficacy data, and remission data were extracted for meta-analysis on a random-effects model. Adequate essential analyses including subgroup analysis, sensitivity analysis, and meta-regression analysis were performed according to the characteristics of RCTs to test the reliability and robustness of the overall effect sizes. Publication bias was detected with funnel plot, Egger's test, and Begg's test. The evidence strength of this meta-analysis was assessed with the GRADE method. RESULTS A total of 63 eligible RCTs and 6036 participants were included. The RoB2 found that the overall risk of included RCTs was high. The MD of continuous data was 3.59 (95% CI: [2.63, 4.55]) with statistical significance (P < 0.00001) and significant heterogeneity (Chi2 = 2083.77, I2 = 97%, p < 0.00001). The OR of efficacy data was 2.12 (95% CI: [1.82, 2.47]) with statistical significance (P < 0.00001) and insignificant heterogeneity (Chi2 = 60.52, I2 = 22%, P = 0.09). The OR of remission data was 1.66 (95% CI: [1.45, 1.91]) with statistical significance (P < 0.00001) and insignificant heterogeneity (Chi2 = 26.45, I2 = 0%, P = 0.96). Adequate essential analyses found consistent results of overall effect sizes and most publication bias analyses found insignificant results. The overall evidence strength was assessed as moderate. CONCLUSION The moderate evidence strength from this PRISMA-compliant meta-analysis found that SGJYC has notable efficacy in treating adults with PSD, although the quality of included RCT was low. The high-quality RCTs with large-sample, multi-centers, and long follow-up periods are still warranted to improve the evidence quality of SGJYC for PSD in further study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Post-stroke depression is associated with stroke recurrence and it is necessary to identify its influencing factors. The study aims to determine whether physical activity during hospitalization, as measured by accelerometer, was associated with depression after discharge in patients with minor ischemic stroke. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective observational study assessed 76 patients with minor ischemic stroke (aged 71.2 years) admitted to an acute care hospital. Depressive symptoms 3 months after discharge from the hospital was assessed using a questionnaire sent by mail. Baseline was set during hospitalization, and accelerometers were used to measure sedentary behavior, light and moderate-to-vigorous physical activities during hospitalization. RESULTS Three months after hospital discharge, 14 patients (18.4%) were placed in the depressive symptom group, with significantly more sedentary behavior (p = 0.021), less light physical activity (p = 0.016) and more depressive symptoms during hospitalization (p = 0.005) than in the non-depressive symptom group. Logistic regression analysis showed that sedentary behavior (odds ratio = 1.130, 95% confidence interval = 1.013‒1.281, p = 0.028) and light-intensity physical activity (odds ratio = 0.853, 95% confidence interval = 0.746‒0.976, p = 0.021) were independent factors for depressive symptoms at three months after discharge. Moderate to vigorous physical activity was not an independent factor. CONCLUSIONS Sedentary behavior and light-intensity physical activity during hospitalization were associated with depressive symptoms in patients with minor ischemic stroke after discharge. Reducing sedentary behavior and increasing light-intensity physical activity as part of inpatient rehabilitation may help prevent post-stroke depression.

Abstract
Approximately, one in three ischemic stroke survivors suffered from depression, namely, post-stroke depression (PSD). PSD affects functional rehabilitation and may lead to poor quality of life of patients. There are numerous explanations about the etiologies of PSD. Here, we speculated that PSD are likely to be the result of specific changes in brain pathology. We hypothesized that the stroke-induced hyperactivity of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis plays an important role in PSD. Stroke initiates a complex sequence of events in neuroendocrine system including HPA axis. The HPA axis is involved in the pathophysiology of depression, especially, the overactivity of the HPA axis occurs in major depressive disorder. This review summarizes the possible etiologies of PSD, focusing on the stroke-induced activation of HPA axis, mainly including the stress followed by severe brain damage and the proinflammatory cytokines release. The role of hyperactive of HPA axis in PSD was discussed in detail, which includes the role of high level corticotropin-releasing hormone in PSD, the effects of glucocorticoids on the alterations in specific brain structures, the expression of enzymes, excitotoxicity, the change in intestinal permeability, and the activation of microglia. The relationship between neuroendocrine regulation and inflammation was also described. Finally, the therapy of PSD by regulating HPA axis, neuroendocrine, and immunity was discussed briefly. Nevertheless, the change of HPA axis and the occurring of PSD maybe interact and promote on each other, and future investigations should explore this hypothesis in more depth.

Abstract
Post-stroke depression (PSD) is the most common and severe neuropsychiatric complication after stroke. However, the molecular mechanism of PSD is still unclear. Previous studies have identified peripheral blood and urine metabolites associated with PSD using metabolomics techniques. We searched and systematically summarized metabolites that may be involved in metabolic changes in peripheral blood and urine of patients with PSD from the Metabolite Network of Depression Database (MENDA) and other biomedical databases. MetaboAnalyst5.0 software was used for pathway analysis and enrichment analysis of differential metabolites, and subgroup analyses were performed according to tissue types and metabolomics techniques. We identified 47 metabolites that were differentially expressed between patients with and without PSD. Five differential metabolites were found in both plasma and urine, including L-glutamic acid, pyroglutamic acid, palmitic acid, L-phenylalanine, and L-tyrosine. We integrated these metabolites into metabolic pathways, and six pathways were significantly altered. These pathways could be roughly divided into three modules including amino acid metabolism, nucleotide metabolism, and glucose metabolism. Among them, the most significantly altered pathway was "phenylalanine metabolism" and the pathway containing the most associated metabolites was "aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis", which deserve further study to elucidate their role in the molecular mechanism of PSD. In summary, metabolic changes in peripheral blood and urine are associated with PSD, especially the disruption of "phenylalanine metabolism" and "aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis" pathways. This study provides clues to the metabolic characteristics of patients with PSD, which may help to elucidate the molecular pathogenesis of PSD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between imaging features closely associated with symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic plaques and early-onset post-stroke depression (PSD) is currently unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS 76 ischemic stroke patients who underwent high-resolution vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging (HR-VWI) were divided into PSD and non-PSD groups according to their DSM-V diagnoses and HAMD-17 scores at 14 days after onset. Clinical data and the imaging features associated with symptomatic plaques (including the enhancement index (EI), remodeling index, and plaque surface irregularity) were compared between groups. Multifactorial logistic regression analysis was used to find independent predictors of early-onset PSD. Spearman rank correlation analysis explores the association between clinical data, symptomatic plaque imaging features, and HAMD-17 in patients. RESULTS The sample comprised 36 patients with early-onset PSD. The symptomatic plaque EI and infarct volume were significantly higher in depressed patients than in patients without depression (P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression showed that symptomatic plaque EI could be used as an independent predictor of early-onset PSD after correcting for the confounding factor of infarct volume (OR = 1.034, 95% CI:1.014-1.055, P = 0.001). In the total sample, symptomatic plaque EI, infarct volume, and HAMD-17 had a significant positive correlation with each other (P < 0.05). LIMITATIONS This study focused only on the patients' symptomatic plaques and did not monitor patients' systemic inflammation levels at the time of HR-VWI. CONCLUSIONS The degree of symptomatic plaque enhancement is an independent predictive imaging marker of early-onset PSD and can be used the early diagnosis of early-onset PSD.

Abstract
Post-stroke depression (PSD) is the most common mental disorder in stroke survivors. However, its specific pathophysiology remains largely unknown. Previous studies suggested a role of hippocampus in PSD. Therefore, we conducted this study to investigate the lipid metabolic signatures in hippocampus of PSD rats. Here, the liquid chromatography mass spectrometry was used to identify the lipid metabolic signatures in the hippocampus of PSD, control and stroke rats. Then, correlations between behavior indices and differential lipid metabolites in PSD rats were explored. Pathway and enrichment analysis were further conducted to uncover the crucial metabolic pathways related to PSD. Finally, we found that the lipid metabolic phenotype in hippocampus of PSD rats was substantially different from that in control and stroke rats, and identified 50 key lipid metabolites that were significantly decreased in PSD rats. These differential metabolites were mainly involved in glycerophospholipid metabolism. Meanwhile, the sucrose preference and immobility time were found to be significantly positively and negatively, respectively, correlated with glycerophospholipid metabolites. The pathway and enrichment analysis showed that the glycerophospholipid metabolism, especially cardiolipin metabolism, was significantly disturbed in PSD rats. These results suggested that the down-regulated glycerophospholipids in hippocampus, especially cardiolipin, might participate in the pathophysiology of PSD. Our findings would be helpful for future exploring the pathophysiology of PSD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-stroke depression (PSD) is one of the most common neuropsychiatric complications after stroke. Studies on the underlying mechanisms and biological markers of sex differences in PSD are of great significance, but there are still few such studies. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to investigate the association of biomarkers with PSD at 3 months after minor stroke in men and women. METHODS This was a prospective multicenter cohort study that enrolled 530 patients with minor stroke (males, 415; females, 115). Demographic information and blood samples of patients were collected within 24 h of admission, and followed up at 3 months after stroke onset. PSD was defined as a depressive disorder due to another medical condition with depressive features, major depressive-like episode, or mixed-mood features according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-V). Univariate analysis was performed using the chi-square test, Mann-Whitney U test, or t-test. Partial least-squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) was used to distinguish between patients with and without PSD. Factors with variable importance for projection (VIP) > 1.0 were classified as the most important factors in the model segregation. RESULTS The PLS-DA model mainly included component 1 and component 2 for males and females. For males, the model could explain 13% and 16.9% of the variables, respectively, and 29.9% of the variables in total; the most meaningful predictors were exercise habit and fibrinogen level. For females, the model could explain 15.7% and 10.5% of the variables, respectively, and 26.2% of the variables in total; the most meaningful predictors in the model were brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), magnesium and free T3. Fibrinogen was positively correlated with the Hamilton Depression Scale-17 items (HAMD-17) score. BDNF, magnesium, and free T3 levels were negatively correlated with the HAMD-17 score. CONCLUSIONS This was a prospective cohort study. The most important markers found to be affecting PSD at 3 months were fibrinogen in males, and free T3, magnesium, and BDNF in females.
