Introduction: The ability to suppress inappropriate prepotent response and to overcome the interference of irrelevant information are two important components of inhibitory control. Little is known, however, about the relevant contributions in these two components of inhibitory control to depression. The aim of the present study was to assess the prepotent response inhibition and interference control simultaneously in a group of patients diagnosed with major depression disorder (MDD).

Research Objectives: The purpose of this study was to describe ethical sensitivity and to explore factors influencing it among Chinese-registered nurses, to help nursing administrators improve nurses' ethical sensitivity, build harmony between nurses and patients, and promote the patients' health.
Research Design: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study.
Introduction: Recent theories in cognitive psychology suggest that working memory (WM) processing involves a set of specific functions, in particular the WM functions of maintenance and interference control. Previous findings on WM impairments in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) had been inconsistent, partly because earlier studies did not take into account these two different functions of WM.
Method: Forty-two participants with MDD and 39 controls completed the visuospatial change detection task.
Background: Nursing interns are an important backup force for nursing professionals, so efforts to strengthen their patient safety (PS) competencies are a major priority. To do so requires assessing the strengths and weaknesses of Chinese nursing students' PS competence and identifying the influencing factors.
Methods: This was a multi-site, cross-sectional, web-based study that was carried out between September 2018 and January 2019.
Anhedonia, the experience of diminished pleasure, is a core feature of major depressive disorder and is often present long before the diagnosis of depression. Most previous studies have investigated anhedonia with self-report measures of trait anhedonia or with behavioral paradigms using laboratory stimuli, and the real-time characteristics of hedonic processing in subclinical depression remain under-investigated. We used the experience sampling method to evaluate momentary experience of hedonic feelings in the context of daily life.

GC‑2 cells were subjected to hypoxia or normoxia for 12, 24, 48 and 72 h. Apoptosis of GC‑2 cells was detected using terminal deoxynucleotidyl‑transferase‑meditated dUTP nick end labeling and flow cytometry.

Magnetic solid-phase extraction is an effective and useful technique to preconcentrate trace analytes from food samples. In this study, a magnetic trimeric chromium octahedral metal-organic framework (FeO-NH@MIL-101) was fabricated and characterized. FeO-NH@MIL-101 was applied as an adsorbent of magnetic solid-phase extraction combined with high performance liquid chromatography to effectively isolate and simultaneously determine six Sudan dyes (Para Red, Sudan I-IV, and Sudan Red 7B) from tomato sauce.

The GC-2 cells were treated with or without hypoxia for 12, 24, 48, and 72 h. Apoptosis of GC-2 cells was detected using TUNEL and flow cytometry.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between genetic polymorphisms of glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1), glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1), and glutathione S-transferase T1 (GSTT1) and urinary level of mercapturic acids of styrene (PHEMAs) in workers exposed to styrene.
Methods: One hundred and twenty-six workers exposed to styrene were selected as exposure group, and 150 workers without styrene exposure as the control group; all the workers came from a locomotive shell production factory in Shandong Province, China. The PCR-RFLP technique was applied to analyze the individual genetic polymorphisms of GSTP1; the multiplex PCR technique was used to investigate the genetic polymorphisms of GSTM1 and GSTT1; the relationship between genetic polymorphisms of GSTP1, GSTM1, and GSTT1 and urinary level of PHEMAs in workers exposed to styrene was statistically analyzed.
Introduction: To investigate the roles of fascin in migration and invasiveness in bladder urothelial carcinoma.
Materials And Methods: Immunohistochemical detection of fascin in urothelial carcinoma samples and inhibition the expression of fascin in the urothelial carcinoma cell line were performed, then the differences in cell behaviors before and after silencing of the fascin gene were tested.
Results: In our study, we found that overexpression of fascin was more frequent in urothelial carcinoma tissues (p < 0.
