Exploring the moderating roles of dispositional mindfulness and body image flexibility in the association between body dissatisfaction and disordered eating in Chinese adolescents.

Objectives: Previous research suggests potential moderating roles of dispositional mindfulness and body image flexibility in the association between body dissatisfaction and disordered eating. However, relevant research is mainly conducted on adult women from Western countries, and limited evidence exists for adolescent samples, especially from non-Western contexts (e.g.

Associations between screen use while eating and eating disorder symptomatology: Exploring the roles of mindfulness and intuitive eating.

Screen use while eating has been recently identified as a highly common and potentially important specific setting of screen use in relation to eating disorder symptomatology. However, given this area of research is still in its infancy, how screen use while eating may be related to eating disorder symptomatology remains largely unexplored. To fill this gap, the present study probed the potential roles of mindfulness and intuitive eating in the association between screen use while eating and eating disorder symptomatology.

Screen use while eating is associated with lower intuitive eating and higher disordered eating in Chinese adult men and women.

Objective: We aimed to explore the potential associations between screen use while eating and intuitive eating and disordered (thinness-oriented and muscularity-oriented) eating behaviors.

Methods: Analyses included 600 Chinese adults (50% women; M  = 30.67, SD = 8.

Repair of damaged intestinal mucosa in a mouse model of sepsis.

Background: The intestine is not only the main target attacked by sepsis but also the vital organ which mediated sepsis. The recovery of the damaged intestinal barrier structure and function is related to the occurrence and outcome of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). How to protect and reduce the damage of the intestinal mucosa and how to promote the reconstruction of the intestinal mucosa have been the important topics in sepsis for many years.

In vitro comparison of the biological activity of alumina ceramic and titanium particles associated with aseptic loosening.

Prosthetic wear particles are thought to play a central role in the initiation and development of periprosthetic osteolysis, leading to aseptic loosening of prostheses. This study aimed to compare the biological activity of ceramic and titanium particles that are associated with particle-induced, aseptic joint loosening. Different sizes of alumina-ceramic particles and titanium particles were prepared to stimulate murine macrophage cells RAW 264.

[Study on the tectology change of rectum wall above the hemorrhoids].

Objective: To investigate the histomorphological characteristics and its significance of rectum wall above hemorrhoids.

Methods: Tissues of rectum wall above hemorrhoids were obtained after stapled hemorrhoidopexy from 21 patients with grade III-IV internal hemorrhoids. Seven macroscopically normal rectal tissues collected from upper rectal cancer patients without a history of hemorrhoids served as control.

[Toxicity of cationic liposome Lipofectamine 2000 in human pancreatic cancer Capan-2 cells].

Objective: To investigate the toxicity of cationic liposome Lipofectamine 2000 (Lipo) in human pancreatic cancer Capan-2 cells.

Methods: Capan-2 cells were cultured in the presence of Lipo at toxic concentrations, and the cell growth, apoptosis and cell cycle changes were evaluated by cell counting and flow cytometry.

Results: The concentrations of both Lipo and siRNA affected the transfection efficiency.

Protective effects of recombinant human growth hormone on cirrhotic rats.

Aim: To investigate the effects and molecular mechanisms of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) on protecting liver function and alleviating portal hypertension of liver cirrhotic rats.

Methods: Liver cirrhosis of male Sprague-Dawley rats was induced by administration of thioacetamide. The rats with or without liver cirrhosis were randomly divided into four groups.

[Study on morphological change in intestinal mucosa from injury to repair after hemorrhagic shock].

Objective: To study on morphological changes in mucosa of the small and large intestine mucosa after resuscitation of hemorrhagic shock.

Methods: The morphological changes in intestinal mucosa were observed under light and electron microscope, including the histology of intestinal mucosa, determination of height of villi and evaluation of mucosa damage index in the different phases after traumatic-hemorrhagic shock.

Results: Mucosa epithelial injury was obvious in small intestine were even at 0 hour, becoming more serious in 1 hour up to 3 hours.
