Post hoc analyses in 712 smokers with AD (posttraumatic stress disorder [PTSD], n = 192; generalized anxiety disorder [GAD], n = 243; panic disorder [PD], n = 277) and in a nonpsychiatric cohort (NPC; n = 4,028).
5-HTT knockout mice, lacking the 5-HTT gene either homo- or heterozygously, provide a widely used model organism for the study of symptoms related to human anxiety disorders.
In comparison with other biologics, patients receiving etanercept appeared to have a lower risk of depression.Key Points• Rheumatoid arthritis patients possessed higher risk of depression and anxiety.• Both depression and anxiety are strongly correlated with the subjective components of DAS28-ESR.• Etanercept might be the choice of biologics in rheumatoid arthritis patients with depression.
The findings for anxiety are consistent with the S-REF model and with experimental and prospective studies supporting metacognitive beliefs as a causal mechanism in psychological distress symptoms.
The animals were submitted to behavioral tests for anxiety (elevated plus maze, EPM) and nociception (hot-plate and tail-flick) and the oxidative stress was measured by superoxide production in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus using dihydroethidium (DHE) probe.
The main findings of our study were: (a) TRPM2-KO had a protective effect on epilepsy; (b) TRPM2-KO improved spatial memory deficits overtime during epilepsy, but it did not improve anxiety; (c) the protective effect probably occurred via the PARP1 downstream signaling pathway; (d) TRPM2-KO could ameliorate epilepsy-induced hippocampal pathological damages and weaken astrocyte activation.

Considering the advantages attributed to pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced kindling mouse model, we used the model for the following assessments: 1. to observe changes in cognition and anxiety between wild type (WT) mice and TRPM2-KO mice with the recognition of new things trial and elevated plus-maze; 2. to determine the expression of apoptosis-associated proteins (PARP1, BNIP3, AIF, and Endo G) using Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot; 3. to observe neurons pathologic damages and astrocyte activation in each group.

Also, we evaluated anxiety and the expression of the leptin receptor, neuropeptides POMC, CART, NPY in the hypothalamus, as well as the serotoninergic system in the amygdala and hypothalamus as possible modulators of these behaviors.
Anus first exhaust time, the time of getting out of bed and hospitalization time, and after nursing, SAS (Self-Rating Anxiety) and SDS (Self-Rating Depression) score of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group (<i>p</i><0.05).

In the generalized linear model, positive associations were found for the presence of any anxiety disorder with melatonin after lunch (p = 0.046), VEGF-A (p = 0.001) and CCL3/MPI-1α (p = 0.001).
Patients with PNES had higher self-reported anxiety and depression levels (GAD-7: p = 0.04, PHQ-9: p < 0.01; BDI-II: p < 0.01) but similar QOL to PWE (p = 0.78).
