“…Mechanistically, depression may lead parents to be less sensitive to their children's needs and/or to engage in less warm parenting, perhaps attributable to the negative cognitive biases, social withdrawal and lack of warmth, or increased irritability that characterizes depressed individuals (Lovejoy et al 2000), impairing their ability to be aware of and respond to their children's needs. For example, mothers with prenatal depression have been found to be less responsive to their infants' distress when experiencing a heel lance and to engage in less affectionate touch in response to infant crying (Mercuri et al 2023). Similarly, Salo et al (2020) found that parents with high depressive symptoms exhibited less cognitive, emotional, and affective empathy toward their 1-to 3-year-old children.…”

Although the intergenerational transmission of risk for depression is well documented, the mechanisms and moderators involved in this transmission of risk from depressed parents to their offspring are not clear. In this review, we discuss the progress that has been made over the past two decades in studying offspring of depressed parents and describe the maladaptive characteristics of these offspring in a diverse range of domains, including clinical, cognitive, and biological functioning. Despite recent advances in this area, there are unresolved questions that warrant further investigation involving the nature of risk transmission from parent to offspring, the specificity of findings to depression, and the role of factors that often accompany depression. We discuss these issues and offer directions for future research that we believe will move the field forward in gaining a better understanding of the relation between parental depression and altered psychobiological functioning in their offspring. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Developmental Psychology, Volume 5 is December 2023.

“…It is reported about one in four infants younger than three months develop colic (Indrio et al, 2023). Although IC often resolves by three months of age, it remains to be stressful for parents and may even cause maternal postpartum depressive symptoms (Mercuri et al, 2023). Considerable research indicates that the intestinal microbiome's composition is related to infant colic symptoms, even though the pathophysiology of this digestive condition is still inadequately comprehended (Korpela et al, 2020).…”

ObjectivesDigestive system diseases have evolved into a growing global burden without sufficient therapeutic measures. Lactobacillus reuteri (L. reuteri) is considered as a new potential economical therapy for its probiotic effects in the gastrointestinal system. We have provided an overview of the researches supporting various L. reuteri strains’ application in treating common digestive system diseases, including infantile colic, diarrhea, constipation, functional abdominal pain, Helicobacter pylori infection, inflammatory bowel disease, diverticulitis, colorectal cancer and liver diseases.MethodsThe summarized literature in this review was derived from databases including PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar.ResultsThe therapeutic effects of L. reuteri in digestive system diseases may depend on various direct and indirect mechanisms, including metabolite production as well as modulation of the intestinal microbiome, preservation of the gut barrier function, and regulation of the host immune system. These actions are largely strain-specific and depend on the activation or inhibition of various certain signal pathways. It is well evidenced that L. reuteri can be effective both as a prophylactic measure and as a preferred therapy for infantile colic, and it can also be recommended as an adjuvant strategy to diarrhea, constipation, Helicobacter pylori infection in therapeutic settings. While preclinical studies have shown the probiotic potential of L. reuteri in the management of functional abdominal pain, inflammatory bowel disease, diverticulitis, colorectal cancer and liver diseases, its application in these disease settings still needs further study.ConclusionThis review focuses on the probiotic effects of L. reuteri on gut homeostasis via certain signaling pathways, and emphasizes the importance of these probiotics as a prospective treatment against several digestive system diseases.
