The social defeat mouse model is used as a preclinical model for major depressive disorder (MDD). This model is of interest, as mice subjected to chronic social defeat can be separated into stress susceptible (SS) and resilient (SR) subgroups that differ in defined behavioural and physiological characteristics. Here, we have carried out proteomic analyses of serum and brain samples from SS (n=12), SR (n=12) and unstressed control (n=12) mice, using two analytical platforms to gain insight into the underlying molecular pathways that distinguish these subgroups. Multiplex immunoassay profiling was performed using sera collected after 10 days of chronic social defeat. This analysis identified peripheral alterations in proteins mostly associated with inflammation in SS mice, whereas growth factors and hormones were changed predominantly in the SR subgroup. Label free liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC–MSE) profiling of frontal cortex revealed a significant increase in myelin-associated proteins [2′,3′-cyclic-nucleotide 3′-phosphodiesterase (CN37), mylein basic protein (MBP), and myelin proteolipid protein (MYPR)] in the SR group, suggesting that resilience to social stress might be mediated through activation of oligodendrogenesis. Taken together, these results provide the first proteomic evidence of differential effects on oligodendrocyte function between susceptible and resilient subgroups in the social defeat model and suggest that neuronal conductivity or central nervous system maintenance in the frontal cortex are involved in the adaptive response to stress. These changes appear to be reflected by serum alterations in inflammation and growth-related proteins, which could be used as biomarkers for predicting or monitoring stress response.

Impaired bottom-up effective connectivity between amygdala and subgenual anterior cingulate cortex in unmedicated adolescents with major depression: results from a dynamic causal modeling analysis
Musgrove, Donald R.; Eberly, Lynn E.; Klimes-Dougan, Bonnie; Basgoze, Zeynep; Thomas, Kathleen M.; Mueller, Bryon A.; Houri, Alaa; Lim, Kelvin O.; Cullen, Kathryn R. (Mary Ann Liebert Inc, 2015-12)
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a significant contributor to lifetime disability and frequently emerges in adolescence, yet little is known about the neural mechanisms of MDD in adolescents. Dynamic causal modeling (DCM) analysis is an innovative tool that can shed light on neural network abnormalities. A DCM analysis was conducted to test several frontolimbic effective connectivity models in 27 adolescents with MDD and 21 healthy adolescents. The best neural model for each person was identified using Ba...

Objective: Hikikomori, a form of severe and long-term social withdrawal, known to cause the waste of work force in society and the decrease in performance, has recently been accepted as a psychiatric disorder. After realizing the lack of assessment instruments related to this syndrome, the 25-item Hikikomori Questionnaire (HQ-25) was developed by the researchers. The aim of the study is to examine the HQ-25's adaptation to the Turkish language, its validity and reliability.
Physiological hyperarousal as a specific correlate of symptoms of anxiety among young psychiatric inpatients
Gençöz, Faruk; Gençöz, Tülin (Scientific Journal Publishers Ltd, 2000-01-01)
Neuropsychological, cognitive, and factor-analytic models of anxiety and depression consistently view the physiological hyperarousal (PH) factor as a specific component of anxiety disorders and symptoms. In the present study, young psychiatric inpatients were assessed on self-report measures of PH, anxiety, and depression. PH was associated with symptoms of anxiety, but riot depressive symptoms, consistent with the specificity of PH to symptoms of anxiety.
Specificity of information processing styles to depressive symptoms in youth psychiatric inpatients
Gençöz, Tülin; Gençöz, Faruk; Joiner, TE (2001-06-01)
Although information processing has been widely studied with depressed adults, little emphasis has been placed on the specificity of resultant findings to depression, as opposed to other psychological disorders. Analogously, even less effort has been directed toward examining the information processing styles of depressed children and adolescents. The present study investigated the specificity of information processing styles to depression and anxiety among 58 youth psychiatric inpatients. To assess informa...
Further Support for Responsibility in Different Obsessive-Compulsive Symptoms in Turkish Adolescents and Young Adults
Yorulmaz, Orcun; Altin, Muejgan; Karanci, Nuray (Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2008-10-01)
According to the cognitive model, an inflated sense of responsibility is an important cognitive mediator both in the development and maintenance of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Empirical findings assign differential roles to responsibility in different kinds of obsessive-compulsive (OC) symptoms. However, findings that suggested a different function for responsibility revealed the need for an operational definition of responsibility and its multi-factorial factorial structure. Few studies have exami...
