Effectiveness of online expressive writing in reducing psychological distress among the asymptomatic COVID-19 patients in Fangcang Hospitals: A quasi-experiment study.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the applicability and effectiveness of an online format of expressive writing (EW) in reducing psychological distress among the asymptomatic COVID-19 patients in Fangcang Hospitals with a quasi-experiment.

Method: Altogether 244 patients were assigned to the EW group(n=122) and the control group(n=122). Besides the routine psychological intervention (broadcast relaxation training at a fixed time) in Fangcang hospitals, The EW group was engaged in 8-day theme-based adaption EW intervention, whereas the control group received no interventions.

Potentially traumatic events and post-traumatic growth among Chinese peacekeepers: A moderated mediation model.

Peacekeepers are inherently exposed to potentially traumatic events (PTEs) in the line of duty. However, little is known about whether PTEs during peacekeeping missions may foster post-traumatic growth (PTG) among peacekeepers and its mechanisms. This study aimed to investigate the association between PTEs and PTG among Chinese peacekeepers, as well as the mediating role of coping style and the moderating role of resilience.

c-Myc-driven glycolysis polarizes functional regulatory B cells that trigger pathogenic inflammatory responses.

B cells secreting IL-10 functionally are recognized as functional regulatory B (B) cells; however, direct evidence concerning the phenotype, regulation, and functional and clinical relevance of IL-10-secreting B cells in humans is still lacking. Here, we demonstrate that, although IL-10 itself is anti-inflammatory, IL-10 functional B cells in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) display aggressive inflammatory features; these features shift their functions away from inducing CD8 T cell tolerance and cause them to induce a pathogenic CD4 T cell response. Functional B cells polarized by environmental factors (e.

Inhibition of Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Inflammation of Chicken Liver Tissue by Selenomethionine via TLR4-NF-κB-NLRP3 Signaling Pathway.

Selenium (Se) is important in many physiological processes, such as antioxidant processes and inflammation. The aim of our experiments was to investigate the molecular mechanism that selenomethionine could reduce the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation by inhibiting the TLR4-NF-κB-NLRP3 signaling pathway. Eighty broilers were randomly and evenly divided into two groups, giving normal Se content diets (Con group, 0.
