Effects of a Short Emotional Management Program on Inpatients with Schizophrenia: A Pilot Study.

The prevalence of schizophrenia is gradually increasing worldwide. Many patients with schizophrenia have a diminished ability to empathize and to detect their own emotions or those of others, deteriorating their social functioning and their quality of life. Nonetheless, emotional management training may improve patients' emotion recognition, emotional expression, and negative symptoms.

Effects of Self-Efficacy, Depression, and Anger on Health-Promoting Behaviors of Korean Elderly Women with Hypertension.

The prevalence of hypertension among women in Korea aged 65 years or older is 61.7%. Past research has emphasized the importance of health-promoting behaviors in hypertension management for the elderly.

Effects of NAD in Models of Neuronal Damage.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is an essential cofactor that mediates numerous biological processes in all living cells. Multiple NAD biosynthetic enzymes and NAD-consuming enzymes are involved in neuroprotection and axon regeneration. The nematode has served as a model to study the neuronal role of NAD because many molecular components regulating NAD are highly conserved.

Construction of right-handed-, left-handed-, and racemic helical coordination polymers. Enantioselective recognition using chiral helical crystals.

Infinite square-tubular helices, [CuCl2(L)(S)] (L = bis(4-pyridyl)methylvinylsilane; S = Me2SO, HCONMe2), were constructed. This helical system affords three kinds of P, M crystals in Me2SO, and racemic crystals in HCONMe2. The cyclic voltammogram (CV) technique using the M-crystals is an effective tool for discerning the chirality of proline.
