Validation of the Capacity for the Psychotherapy Process Scale for Use in Adolescent Patients.

Although pre-treatment assessments of the capacity for the psychotherapy process can aid in identifying patients experiencing great difficulties in therapy and in tailoring therapies for individual patients, limited information exists for adolescents. To address this gap, this study followed the World Health Organization's age standards for adolescents (younger adolescents aged 10-14 years; older adolescents aged 15-19 years), examined the psychometric properties of the Capacity for Psychotherapy Process Scale (CFPPS; mainly used for adult patients) in these two groups of adolescents, and compared their capacities for the psychotherapy process. The participants were 434 younger adolescent (mean age = 13.

Comparison of the EPDS and PHQ-9 in the assessment of depression among pregnant women: Similarities and differences.

Background: Perinatal depression has attracted increasing attention. However, a detailed investigation of the network structure of depression is still lacking. We aim to examine the similarities and differences between the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) from a network perspective.

Inhibition of the long non-coding RNA UNC5B-AS1/miR-4455/RSPO4 axis reduces cervical cancer growth in vitro and in vivo.

Background: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are significant regulatory factors for the initiation and development of numerous malignant tumors, including cervical cancer (CC). The expression of lncRNA unc-5 netrin receptor B antisense RNA 1 (UNC5B-AS1, also known as UASR1) is up-regulated in tissues of cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical adenocarcinoma compared to in normal tissues based on the GEPIA database. In the present study, we explored the functions of UNC5B-AS1 and its underlying mechanism with respect to CC development.

Methods: Each CT was recorded, and the validity of the repeated CTs was assessed.

Results: The 394 patients underwent a total of 1493 CTs.

Radiology department strategies to protect radiologic technologists against COVID19: Experience from Wuhan.

The outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a huge threat to global public health security. In the absence of specific antiviral medicines to prevent or treat COVID-19, it is essential to detect the infected patients at an early stage and immediately isolate them from the healthy population. In view of the advantages of sensitivity and high spatial resolution, CT imaging has played an important role in screening and diagnosing of COVID-19 in China.

PMA treated THP-1-derived-IL-6 promotes EMT of SW48 through STAT3/ERK-dependent activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Colon cancer is one of the most common digestive malignant tumors that leads to high mortality worldwide, and metastasis is the primary cause of cancer-related death. It is well accepted that the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a key role in the process of metastasis. As a cytokine that macrophage secretes, IL-6 is involved in the progression of tumors, including the invasion and metastasis via kinds of signaling pathways.

The influence of tracheostomy timing on outcomes in trauma patients: A meta-analysis.

Objective: This study aims to assess the influence of tracheostomy timing on outcomes among trauma patients, including mortality, medical resource utility and incidence of pneumonia.

Method: A systematic review of the literature was conducted by internet search. Data were extracted from selected studies and analyzed using Stata to compare outcomes in trauma patients with early tracheostomy (ET) or late tracheostomy (LT)/prolonged intubation (PI).

Use of magnetic resonance imaging to assess ovarian maturation in live Rhinogobio ventralis (Sauvage & Dabry de Thiersant, 1874).

The aim of this study is to evaluate the application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess ovarian maturation in live female Rhinogobio ventralis (Sauvage & Dabry de Thiersant, 1874). The fish were randomly collected from the Jiangjin area of the Yangtze River between January and April 2014. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed using a 3.

Application of (18)F-FDG PET/CT imaging in diagnosing bladder tumor metastasis lesions.

Bladder tumor is the most common malignant tumor in urinary system and always companied with lymph node metastasis. The accurate staging plays a significant role in treatment for bladder tumor and prognostic evaluation, and the distant metastasis predicts worse prognosis. The objective of this study was to assess the clinical significance of (18)F-FDG PET/CT imaging in diagnosing bladder tumor metastasis lesions.

Magnetic resonance susceptibility weighted imaging in detecting intracranial calcification and hemorrhage.

Background: Computed tomography (CT) is better than routine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in detecting intracranial calcification. This study aimed to assess the value of MR susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) in the detection and differentiation of intracranial calcification and hemorrhage.

Methods: Enrolled in this study were 35 patients including 13 cases of calcification demonstrated by CT and 22 cases of intracerebral hemorrhage.

Dynamic gadoteridol-enhanced MR imaging in the end of growing long bone of piglets.

Background: It is of value to identify the non-invasive means that can accurately reflect the blood supply of epiphysis and is more sensitive in detection of early ischemia of epiphysis than the conventional gadoteridol (Gd)-enhanced SE T1WI. The aim of this study was to evaluate the blood supply of various anatomic regions at the end of normal growing long bone using dynamic Gd-enhanced MR imaging and compare the sensitivities between dynamic Gd-enhanced MR imaging and conventional Gd-enhanced SE T1WI in the detection of decreased blood perfusion of early epiphyseal ischemia.

Methods: Twenty-seven two-week-old piglets were used in this study.
