The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the epidemiological characteristics of depression among adults in the U.S. remains unclear. This study aims to analyze trends in depression prevalence over time and quantify the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on its prevalence. Using data from 2007 to 2023 provided by the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES), this study examined 36,472 participants. Results revealed an increasing trend in depression prevalence among U.S. adults from 2007 to 2023. Notably, the overall weighted prevalence of depression following the COVID-19 pandemic (12.4%, 95% CI: 10.6-14.1%) was significantly higher than in all years prior to the pandemic. Subgroups such as females, Mexican Americans, and young adults experienced particularly pronounced increases. By analyzing data from two survey cycles close to the onset of the COVID-19 outbreak, the study identified a significant impact of the pandemic on depression prevalence, with an adjusted odds ratio of 1.58 (95% CI: 1.28–1.94). Individuals with lower socioeconomic status and those without pre-existing conditions exhibited greater increases in depression prevalence, whereas the emotional health of individuals who smoke appeared unaffected by the pandemic.

Low molecular weight galactomannan alleviates diarrhea induced by senna leaf in mice via intestinal barrier improvement and gut microbiota modulation† Low molecular weight galactomannan (LMGM), a soluble dietary fibre derived from guar gum, is recognized for its prebiotic functions, including promoting the growth of beneficial intestinal bacteria and the production of short-chain fatty acids, but the mechanism of alleviating diarrhea is not fully understood.

1 INTRODUCTION Low temperature is an important factor that restricts the growth, productivity, and quality of many species (Zhu, 2016). Melon (Cucumis melo) is sensitive to cold stress since it is native to tropical areas (Nuñez-Palenius et al., 2008). Oriental melon is very popular in China and is mainly produced in the north of China.

1 INTRODUCTION Acute myocardial infarction is a severe myocardial injury affecting over 7 million people worldwide each year.1 The most effective clinical practice for myocardial recovery is timely reperfusion. However, reperfusion also causes a series of pathophysiological responses known as ‘ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury’,2 which accounts for nearly 50% of the final infarct size.3 Currently, available drugs targeting at the myocardial I/R injury are limited.
