RESUMO
Compared to traditional methods, using machine learning to assess or predict the odor of molecules can save costs in various aspects. Our research aims to collect molecules with coffee odor and summarize the regularity of these molecules, ultimately creating a binary classifier that can determine whether a molecule has a coffee odor. In this study, a total of 371 coffee-odor molecules and 9,700 non-coffee-odor molecules were collected. The Knowledge-guided Pre-training of Graph Transformer (KPGT), support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), multi-layer perceptron (MLP), and message-passing neural networks (MPNN) were used to train the data. The model with the best performance was selected as the basis of the predictor. The prediction accuracy value of the KPGT model exceeded 0.84 and the predictor has been deployed as a webserver PredCoffee.
RESUMO
Objective: To evaluate the effects of yoga on health-related outcomes [i.e., physical function, mental health, and overall quality of life (QOL)] of cancer survivors via a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) over the past 5 years across cancer types. Methods: An updated systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. RCTs published from January 1, 2018, to February 23, 2023, were searched in five English databases (PubMed, The Cochrane Library, ISI, PsycINFO, and CINAHL), three Chinese databases (Wan Fang, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database), and three English clinical trials registry platforms (International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, ClinicalTrials.gov, and EU Clinical Trials Register). Results: A total of 34 RCTs were included in this updated review. Yoga benefited the physical function, mental health, and overall QOL of cancer survivors. The effect size of yoga for most physical and mental health-related outcomes was relatively small, but that for the QOL was generally large. The impact of yoga on the QOL of cancer survivors ranged from moderate to high. Conclusions: Yoga has health benefits for cancer survivors and could therefore be used as an optional supportive intervention for cancer-related symptom management.
RESUMO
A number of studies have demonstrated that epigenetic factors regulate plant developmental timing in response to environmental changes. However, we still have an incomplete view of how epigenetic factors can regulate developmental events such as organogenesis, and the transition from cell division to cell expansion, in plants. The small number of cell types and the relatively simple developmental progression required to form the Arabidopsis petal makes it a good model to investigate the molecular mechanisms driving plant organogenesis. In this study, we investigated how the RABBIT EARS (RBE) transcriptional repressor maintains the downregulation of its downstream direct target, TCP5, long after RBE expression dissipates. We showed that RBE recruits the Groucho/Tup1-like corepressor TOPLESS (TPL) to repress TCP5 transcription in petal primordia. This process involves multiple layers of changes such as remodeling of chromatin accessibility, alteration of RNA polymerase activity, and histone modifications, resulting in an epigenetic memory that is maintained through multiple cell divisions. This memory functions to maintain cell divisions during the early phase of petal development, and its attenuation in a cell division-dependent fashion later in development enables the transition from cell division to cell expansion. Overall, this study unveils a novel mechanism by which the memory of an epigenetic state, and its cell-cycle regulated decay, acts as a timer to precisely control organogenesis.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study was to investigate the status of pregnancy stress and to explore factors associated with pregnancy stress among women by China's two-child policy. METHODS: A mixed-method study involving both quantitative and qualitative methods was conducted using questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The questionnaires encompassed socio-demographic and obstetric characteristics, as well as the Pregnancy Stress Rating Scale (PSRS) and the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS). Initially, the participants were required to complete the questionnaires, enabling us to assess their respective pregnancy stress statuses. Subsequently, we selectively interviewed pregnant women with a second child and exhibited at least mild pregnancy stress. The qualitative study sought to uncover the factors contributing to their stress during pregnancy. RESULTS: A total of 463 subjects were enrolled; of the subjects, 22 (4.8%) had no stress, 407 (87.9%) had mild stress, 34 (7.3%) had moderate stress. Generalized linear regression analysis revealed significant factors (P<0.05) related to pregnancy stress, including family financial burden, subjective support, fertility desire, gender of the first child, and gender preference. Additionally, 16 subjects were interviewed, and through analysis, three major themes emerged, each comprising 12 sub-themes associated with pregnancy stress. These themes were identified as fertility factors (worry about maternal and child health, birth experience, and parenting stress), family factors ( financial burden, second child care problems, first child's acceptance of the second child, family concerns, fertility desire, and gender preference) and social factors (involving life events, career development and workload). CONCLUSION: The diver factors contribute to pregnancy stress among pregnant women under China's two-child policy. Our study could be used to develop appropriate interventions to reduce pregnancy stress and to enhance the mental health of women pregnant with a second child.

Background: It has been suggested that healthcare workers (HCWs) are experiencing massive stressors that threaten their mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic, but little is known about their attitudes and intentions toward seeking professional psychological help. This study aimed to investigate the attitudes and intentions of Chinese HCWs toward seeking professional psychological help during the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated factors. Methods: A total of 1,224 Chinese HCWs working in hospitals were recruited online from 12 hospitals in Hunan province in China for a survey conducted in November 2022. The Chinese version of the attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help scale-short form (ATSPPH-SF) and the general help-seeking questionnaire (GHSQ) were separately used to assess the attitudes and intentions of the respondents toward seeking professional psychological help. Demographic and socio-psychological data were collected using a self-developed questionnaire, the perceived social support scale, the self-stigma of seeking help scale, and the patient health questionnaire-9 scale. Results: The 1,208 HCWs in the final analysis showed relatively negative attitudes and low intentions toward seeking professional psychological help during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results of the multiple linear regression analysis showed that female sex (p = 0.031), experience of psychological learning (p < 0.001), and social support (p < 0.001) had a positive predictive effect on the attitudes of these HCWs toward seeking professional psychological help, whereas self-stigma of seeking help (p < 0.001) and depressive symptoms (p < 0.001) exerted negative effects. Moreover, experience of psychological learning (p = 0.004) and social support (p < 0.001) had a positive predictive effect on the intentions of these HCWs toward seeking professional psychological help, whereas divorced marital status (p = 0.011) and self-stigma of seeking help (p < 0.001) exerted negative effects. Conclusion: The overall attitudes and intentions of HCWs toward seeking professional psychological help were not optimistic. Effective interventions targeted at influencing factors should be formulated to promote the professional psychological help-seeking attitudes and intentions of HCWs who are at risk of developing mental health problems.
RESUMO
A non-spore-forming, motile and alkali-resistant actinobacterium, designated N2-46T, was isolated from an alkaline soil sample collected from a cotton field in the Xinjiang region of PR China. Strain N2-46T formed creamy colonies on tryptone soy agar and managed to survive in extreme alkaline conditions at a pH value of 11. Strain N2-46T displayed the highest 16S rRNA gene similarity of 99.65â% to Haloactinobacterium kanbiaonis HY164T, followed by Occultella aeris F300T (99.61%) and Occultella glacieicola T3246-1T (98.54â%). 16S rRNA-directed phylogenetic analysis showed that strain N2-46T was embedded in a subclade with O. aeris F300T with a bootstrap value of 71.8â%. The phylogenetic tree based on core genes of genome sequences showed that strain N2-46T formed a unique subclade next to H. kanbiaonis HY164T and O. aeris F300T with a bootstrap value of 100â%. Digital DNA-DNA hybridization and the average nucleotide identity analyses showed that strain N2-46T displayed the highest values of 67.1â% (63.2-70.7â%) and 91.82â% with H. kanbiaonis HY164T, respectively. Comparative genomic analysis indicated that strain N2-46T and its three closest neighbours exhibited comparable distribution patterns in heavy metal resistance genes and biosynthetic gene clusters, while displaying distinctions probably related to ecological adaptation. MK-8(H4) was identified as the predominant isoprenoid quinone. The main fatty acids were identified as iso-C14â:â0 and anteiso-C15â:â0. Polar lipids are composed of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, mono and diacylated phosphatidylinositol dimannosides, as well as several uncharacterized polar lipid, glycolipid, and phospholipids. Genotypic and physiological analyses support the view that strain N2-46T (=JCM 34413T=CGMCC 1.18819T) should be classified as a novel species of the genus Occultella, for which the name Occultella gossypii sp. nov. is proposed.

A novel actinomycete strain, designated S2-4T, was isolated from a mangrove soil sample, and a polyphasic approach was employed to determine its taxonomic position. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene indicated that strain S2-4T formed a unique clade next to that harboring Pseudonocardia dioxanivorans CB1190T, which shared the highest sequence similarity (98.20%) with the new isolate. Phylogenetic analysis based on core genes of genomic sequences displayed a different scenario, exhibiting closer phylogenetic relationship of strain S2-4T with several species with 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities ranging from 96.95 to 98.06%, which was confirmed by the phylogenetic tree reconstructed based on genomic sequences. Further, substantial differences between the genotypic properties of strain S2-4T and its closest neighbors, including digital DNA-DNA hybridization, average nucleotide identity, and distribution patterns of biosynthetic gene clusters (BGC), indicated the taxonomic position of strain S2-4T as a novel species of the genus Pseudonocardia. Accordingly, strain S2-4T was observed to show a different distribution pattern of a predicted BGC encoding ectoine by comparative genomic analysis, which could be strongly linked to its unique habitat distinct from where its close neighbors were isolated. The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C15:0, C21:0, and iso-C16:0. The predominant menaquinone was MK-8(H4). The polar lipids were composed of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidyl-N-monomethylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol mannosides, and two unidentified glycolipids. Here, we propose a novel species of the genus Pseudonocardia: Pseudonocardia humida sp. nov. with the type strain S2-4T (= JCM 34291T = CGMCC 4.7706T).

The Sichuan-Chongqing region is the leader and growth pole of economic development in western China. With the rapid development of economy and unique geographical environment, high concentration of sulfur dioxide air pollution has existed for a long time in Sichuan-Chongqing area. Based on 10 years of remote sensing data, this paper studies the temporal and spatial distribution characteristics, stability, and influencing factors of sulfur dioxide in this area. Based on potential sources, the impact of surrounding areas on sulfur dioxide in Sichuan and Chongqing is analyzed. The results shows that the spatial distribution of sulfur dioxide in the Sichuan-Chongqing region is higher in the southeast and lower in the west. The Midwest region has low fluctuation and good stability. The time distribution shows obvious seasonal regularity. The concentration of sulfur dioxide is affected by socio-economic factors and natural factors. In this study, it is found that the distribution of sulfur dioxide is closely related to PM2.5, which provides an important reference for the comprehensive management of air pollution. The OMI data effectively reflects the distribution and change of atmospheric sulfur dioxide in the Sichuan-Chongqing region, and provides certain ideas for air pollution control in the Sichuan-Chongqing region and other regions in China.

A Gram-positive, acid-fast and rapidly growing rod, designated S2-37 T, that could form yellowish colonies was isolated from one soil sample collected from cotton cropping field located in the Xinjiang region of China. Genomic analyses indicated that strain S2-37 T harbored T7SS secretion system and was very likely able to produce mycolic acid, which were typical features of pathogenetic mycobacterial species. 16S rRNA-directed phylogenetic analysis referred that strain S2-37 T was closely related to bacterial species belonging to the genus Mycolicibacterium, which was further confirmed by pan-genome phylogenetic analysis. Digital DNA-DNA hybridization and the average nucleotide identity presented that strain S2-37 T displayed the highest values of 39.1% (35.7-42.6%) and 81.28% with M. litorale CGMCC 4.5724 T, respectively. And characterization of conserved molecular signatures further supported the taxonomic position of strain S2-37 T belonging to the genus Mycolicibacterium. The main fatty acids were identified as C16:0, C18:0, C20:3ω3 and C22:6ω3. In addition, polar lipids profile was mainly composed of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylinositol. Phylogenetic analyses, distinct fatty aids and antimicrobial resistance profiles indicated that strain S2-37 T represented genetically and phenotypically distinct from its closest phylogenetic neighbour, M. litorale CGMCC 4.5724 T. Here, we propose a novel species of the genus Mycolicibacterium: Mycolicibacterium gossypii sp. nov. with the type strain S2-37 T (= JCM 34327 T = CGMCC 1.18817 T).

A Gram-negative bacterium, designated S1-65T, was isolated from soil samples collected from a cotton field located in the Xinjiang region of PR China. Results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain S1-65T was affiliated to the genus Steroidobacter with its closest phylogenetic relatives being 'Steroidobacter cummioxidans' 35Y (98.4â%), 'Steroidobacter agaridevorans' SA29-B (98.3â%) and Steroidobacter agariperforans KA5-BT (98.3â%). 16S rRNA-directed phylogenetic analysis showed that strain S1-65T formed a unique phylogenetic subclade next to 'S. agaridevorans' SA29-B and S. agariperforans KA5-BT, suggesting that strain S1-65T should be identified as a member of the genus Steroidobacter. Further, substantial differences between the genotypic properties of strain S1-65T and the members of the genus Steroidobacter, including average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization, resolved the taxonomic position of strain S1-65T and suggested its positioning as representing a novel species of the genus Steroidobacter. The DNA G+C content of strain S1-65T was 62.5 mol%, based on its draft genome sequence. The predominant respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-8. The main fatty acids were identified as summed feature 3 (C16:1ω6c/C16:1ω7c), C16â:â0 and iso-C15â:â0. In addition, its polar lipid profile was composed of aminophospholipid, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol. Here, we propose a novel species of the genus Steroidobacter: Steroidobacter gossypii sp. nov. with the type strain S1-65T (=JCM 34287T=CGMCC 1.18736T).

This study examines the current aerosol pollution scenario in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao (GHM) Greater Bay Area, based on OMAERUV daily data products, to define the spatial and temporal distribution from 2008 to 2019 and predict variation trends of the ultraviolet aerosol index (UVAI). Changes and potential source areas were analyzed, and their influencing factors were identified. The annual time series of UVAI in the GHM Greater Bay Area showed a downward trend, with an average annual decrease of 2.3%; the monthly time series showed an inverted "V" shape beginning in spring, with the highest seasonal UVAI occurring in spring, followed by winter and autumn. Summer exhibited the lowest UVAI; spatially, the central region has consistently exhibited high values, with an average annual UVAI of 0.35 calculated over 12 years. The distribution of UVAI in the time series is mainly sustainable, and 82.69% of the area will show a downward trend in the future. The main potential sources from beyond the study area are carbon sources and marine biological sources produced by eastern industry; the main potential sources of UVAI are carbon and biomass sources in spring, biomass aerosol sources in summer, and carbon sources in autumn. It accounts for the largest proportion, and aerosol sources of sand and dust in winter have increased. Through correlation analysis, aerosols and PM2.5 were found to be interdependent. Industrial production activities are an important contributor of atmospheric aerosols, and precipitation can reduce the atmosphere. Due to the aerosol content produced by industrial production, secondary industrial activities will accelerate the formation of aerosols when the temperature rises.

Epigenetic modifications include histone modifications and DNA methylation; such modifications can induce heritable changes in gene expression by altering DNA accessibility and chromatin structure. A number of studies have demonstrated that epigenetic factors regulate plant developmental timing in response to environmental changes. However, we still have an incomplete picture of how epigenetic factors can regulate developmental events such as organogenesis. The small number of cell types and the relatively simple developmental progression required to form the Arabidopsis petal makes it a good model to investigate the molecular mechanisms driving plant organogenesis. In this minireview, we summarize recent studies demonstrating the epigenetic control of gene expression during various developmental transitions, and how such regulatory mechanisms can potentially act in petal growth and differentiation.
RESUMO
In order to assess the status of aerosol pollution in three selected Northeast Provinces of China, Ozone Monitoring Instrument/Aura Near UV Aerosol Optical Depth and Single Scattering Albedo 1-orbit L2 Swath 13 × 24km V003 (OMAERUV) daily product data was used to evaluate (1) the ultraviolet aerosol index (UVAI) temporal and spatial distribution of the three Northeast Provinces from 2009 to 2018; (2) the potential pollution source areas of provincial capital cities; and (3) future trend changes. Furthermore, the influencing factors were also analyzed and are discussed herein. The results show that the UVAI in the Northeast Provinces exhibit an overall increasing trend, with an average annual increase rate of 2.99%. Seasonally, the UVAI increasing trend in winter is higher than in spring which in turn is higher than autumn. And summer has the least increasing trend. In addition, the external source of absorbent aerosol transmission is mainly in the southwest. Moreover, the overall UVAI remains relatively constant in the central part of the region, and increases slightly and significantly in the south and north directions. In general, spring, autumn, and winter all exhibit increasing trends in varying degrees. The difference between the forecasted and actual UVAI values in the Northeast Provinces does not exceed 10%; thus, the forecasting reliability is good. Also, UVAI has different degrees of correlation with natural factors, such as precipitation and temperature. With respect to social factors, UVAI and population density (a social factor) are positively correlated in 98.2% of the study area, demonstrating that there is a strong positive correlation between UVAI and smoke and dust emissions.

The goal of this study was to understand the current status of ozone pollution in Northeast China and to distinguish the main influencing factors of ozone, in order to provide a scientific basis for the future prevention and control of ozone in this region. In this study, the Ozone Monitoring Instrument data product was used as the source data, and the pixel space analysis method and grey correlation analysis method were utilized to examine the tropospheric ozone column concentration in Northeast China from 2010 to 2018. The results revealed that the ozone column concentration in Northeast China was relatively high compared to other parts of the country. The high-value areas were primarily distributed in Tahe County, Heihe City, Hegang City, and Qiqihar City. The temporal variation of the ozone column concentration in Northeast China exhibited an obvious periodicity of 9 years, and its interannual change displayed a downward trend. The maximum value occurred in 2010, and the minimum value was found in 2016. The seasonal changes manifested a relative trend of spring > winter > summer > autumn, which was contrary to the research results for other parts of China, which showed a summer maximum. Among the influencing factors, atmospheric pressure, relative humidity, sunshine hours, GDP, and primary and secondary industries exhibited the closest relationships with ozone. The high concentration of ozone in Northeast China was determined to result from the superimposed effects of long-distance atmospheric transport and anthropogenic emissions.

There have been very limited studies on plastic deformation mechanisms in single-crystalline high-entropy alloys (HEAs) with body-centered cubic (BCC) phases. We performed in situ uniaxial compression on single-crystalline BCC AlCrFeCoNi micropillars/nanopillars with three orientations (including [100], [110], and [111]) and diameters of 270-1583 nm, inside a scanning electron microscope. The experimental results showed the significant size effects on yield/flow stress and the remarkable strain hardening in these HEA micropillars/nanopillars. Especially, HEA micropillars/nanopillars with ⟨100⟩ orientation exhibited higher strain hardening exponents than BCC pure metals and Al0.7CrCoFeNi counterparts. A combination of transmission electron microscopy observations and large-scale atomistic simulations revealed that dislocation slip, reaction, tangling and accumulation, and solid solution effects are responsible for the observed size effects on yield/flow stress and remarkable strain hardening, but these dislocation mechanisms are dependent on nanopillar orientation. Our present study sheds light on the underlying deformation mechanisms in BCC HEA single crystals.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: To explore the application of random forest algorithm in screening the risk factors and predictive values for postpartum depression. METHODS: We recruited the participants from a tertiary hospital between June 2017 and June 2018 in Changsha City, and followed up from pregnancy up to 4-6 weeks postpartum.Demographic economics, psychosocial, biological, obstetric, and other factors were assessed at first trimesters with self-designed obstetric information questionnaire and the Chinese version of Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). During 4-6 weeks after delivery, the Chinese version of EPDS was used to score depression and self-designed questionnaire to collect data of delivery and postpartum. The data of subjects were randomly divided into the training data set and the verification data set according to the ratio of 3ê1. The training data set was used to establish the random forest model of postpartum depression, and the verification data set was used to verify the predictive effects via the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and AUC index. RESULTS: A total of 406 participants were in final analysis. Among them, 150 of whom had EPDS score ≥9, and the incidence of postpartum depression was 36.9%. The predictive effects of random forest model in the verification data set were at accuracy of 80.10%, sensitivity of 61.40%, specificity of 89.10%, positive predictive value of 73.00%, negative predictive value of 82.80%, and AUC index of 0.833. The top 10 predictive influential factors that screening by the variable importance measure in random forest model was antenatal depression, economic worries after delivery, work worries after delivery, free triiodothyronine in first trimesters, high-density lipoprotein in third trimester, venting temper to infants, total serum cholesterol and serum triglyceride in first trimester, hematocrit and serum triglyceride in third trimester. CONCLUSIONS: Random forest has a great advantage in risk prediction for postpartum depression. Through comprehensive evaluation mechanism, it can identify the important influential factors for postpartum depression from complex multi-factors and conduct quantitative analysis, which is of great significance to identify the key factors for postpartum depression and carry out timely and effective intervention.

BACKGROUND: It has been suggested that peer support intervention may offer an alternative approach to prevent or treat perinatal depression, but little is known about its effectiveness, economics, and satisfaction in the prenatal and postpartum populations. This review summarizes available evidence on the effectiveness, economics, and satisfaction of peer support intervention on perinatal depression. METHODS: Multiple electronic databases were searched in five English databases (MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, Psyc INFO, and CINAHL) and three Chinese databases (Wang Fang, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database) from inception to April 2019. Hand searching of references was also performed. Randomized controlled trials reporting peer support intervention targeting on perinatal depression were included. The quality of evidence was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool. RESULTS: Ten randomized controlled trials met the inclusion criteria and were included in the final analysis. Peer support intervention reduced standardized mean depressive scores (-0.37, 95% CI -0.66 to -0.08) and reduced risk ratio (0.69, 95% CI 0.49-0.96) of depression. LIMITATIONS: Clinical heterogeneity was observed among the included studies in peer support intervention, suggesting the existence of potential mediators, such as intensity, frequency, or type of peer support intervention. CONCLUSION: Peer support intervention may have the potential to effectively prevent perinatal depression or reduce the harm of perinatal depression. Future studies with better design/execution and larger sample size are needed to investigate potential mediators associated with the beneficial effects of peer support intervention on perinatal depression.

Two coordination polymers, namely [Ag2(L)(SO3CF3)(H2O)](SO3CF3)â¢CH2Cl2 (1) and [Ag5(L)4(H2O)2](SbF6)5â¢5THF (2), were obtained by reacting oxadiazole-containing tri-armed ligand 1,3,5-tri(2-methylthio-1,3,4-oxadiazole-5yl) ben-zene (L) and silver salts in CH2Cl2/THF medium. The two complexes crystallized in the tetragonal space group I41/a and orthorhombic space group Fdd2, respectively. The Single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed that the two complexes ex-hibit strikingly different 3D polymeric structures, which can be ascribed to the different counter anions. L in compound 1 acted as a hexa-dentate ligand, binding to two types of Ag+ atoms to form a 3D polymeric structure. L in compound 2acted as a hexa- and penta-dentate ligand, binding to three types of Ag+ atoms to form the 3D polymeric structure. The antibacterial activity of the complexes was also investigated.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: It has been suggested that mother-infant psychotherapy may offer an alternative approach to treating postpartum depression, but little is known about its effectiveness. This review presents a summarized effectiveness of mother-infant psychotherapy on postpartum depression. METHODS: Multiple electronic databases were searched including Pubmed, Cochrane Library, EMBase, MEDLINE, et al. Hand searching of references was also performed. Randomized controlled trials reporting on mother-infant psychotherapy targeting postpartum depression were included if they used a validated measure of prescribing appropriateness. Evidence quality was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool. RESULTS: A total of 13 randomized controlled trials met inclusion criteria and were included in the final analysis. In the short-term effect analysis, mother-infant psychotherapy reduced standardized mean depressive scores (-0.25, 95% CI -0.40, -0.09) and risk ratio (0.71, 95% CI 0.55, 0.91). In the long-term effect analysis, mother-infant psychotherapy did not improve maternal mood, mother-infant interaction and infant attachment. LIMITATIONS: Clinical heterogeneity was observed among included studies in mother-infant psychotherapy intervention, suggesting the existence of potential moderators such as intensity, frequency, trimester of pregnancy or type of mother-infant psychotherapy. CONCLUSION: Mother-infant psychotherapy appears to be effective for the treatment of maternal depression in the short-term. Future studies with better design/execution and larger sample size are needed to confirm the effect of mother-infant psychotherapy on short-term and to explore its effect on long-term depression.
