Comparative analysis of cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in enhancing psychological capital among medical students: a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Medical students are confronted with a complex stress environment, encompassing academic challenges, residency training, and future workplace pressures. Therefore, the exploration of effective psychological capital intervention strategies is crucial for enhancing their mental health and promoting career development.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of group cognitive-behavioral therapy (GCBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in boosting the psychological capital of medical students and to compare the advantages and disadvantages of these two therapies.

Promoting gaze toward the eyes of emotional faces in individuals with high autistic traits using group cognitive behavioral therapy: An eye-tracking study.

Background: Individuals with subclinical autistic traits exhibit a pattern of eye avoidance similar to that of typical autism. Our study aimed to test the efficacy of group cognitive behavioral therapy (G-CBT) in promoting gaze toward the eye area of facial expressions, specifically orienting to emotional faces, in individuals with high autistic traits (high AT).

Methods: Twenty-six high AT individuals and 30 low AT individuals participated.

Mindfulness-based therapy versus cognitive behavioral therapy for people with anxiety symptoms: a systematic review and meta-analysis of random controlled trials.

Background: Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) have both been shown to be effective treatment approaches for anxiety. The purpose of this paper was to directly investigate the ability of MBIs and CBT to improve anxiety symptoms (primary outcome), as well as depression symptoms and sleep quality (second outcome).

Methods: We searched the following electronic databases from 1st December, 2019 to 14th January 2021: English databases including PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, Elsevier, Springer Link, Wiley Online Library, ClinicalTrails, and Embase, and Chinese database including CNKI, WANFANG, and CQVIP.

Study on the correlation between KCNJ11 gene polymorphism and metabolic syndrome in the elderly.

The aim of the study was to examine the correlation between KCNJ11 gene polymorphism and metabolic syndrome in elderly patients. From January 2014 to January 2015, 54 elderly patients with metabolic syndrome were enrolled in this study as the observation group. During the same period, 46 healthy elderly individuals were enrolled in this study as the control group.

Correlation analysis of human embryo Le glycan antigen expression and embryo quality.

This study assessed the feasibility of using Le glycan secretion level in human embryos as a method of judging embryo quality. Embryo culture media from patients receiving fertilization-embryo transfer was collected, and quality scores of embryos were recorded. Secretions of Le in the culture media in different development stages (from 4-cell to 10-cell), embryos in the same development stage of the same patients (8-cell/I) and embryos in the same development stage of different patients (8-cell/I) were examined by dot-blot.

Tuberostemonine reverses multidrug resistance in chronic myelogenous leukemia cells K562/ADR.

To investigate the reversal effect of tuberostemonine on MDR in myelogenous leukemia cells K562/ADR. Human myelogenous leukemia cells K562 and their adriamycin-resistance cells K562/ADR were used. The growth curve of cells treated by tuberostemonine and the Non-toxic concentration of tuberostemonine were determined by MTT, Cell apoptosis was determined by MTT and flow cytometry.

How does emotional context modulate response inhibition in alexithymia: electrophysiological evidence from an ERP study.

Background: Alexithymia, characterized by difficulties in identifying and describing feelings, is highly indicative of a broad range of psychiatric disorders. Several studies have also discovered the response inhibition ability impairment in alexithymia. However, few studies on alexithymic individuals have specifically examined how emotional context modulates response inhibition procedure.

Prediction of early hepatic artery thrombosis by intraoperative color Doppler ultrasound in pediatric segmental liver transplantation.

Early hepatic artery thrombosis (eHAT) after transplantation is associated with a high incidence of graft failure and mortality in pediatric segmental liver transplantation (LT). The evaluation of intraoperative color Doppler ultrasound (CD-US) parameters and their sensitivity and specificity for the prediction of eHAT were important. Pediatric segmental LTs were performed in 49 consecutive patients from October 2006 to December 2010 in our hospital.

Single-nucleotide polymorphism-mass array reveals commonly deleted regions at 3p22 and 3p14.2 associate with poor clinical outcome in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most common solid tumors in the world with poor prognosis. Deletion of chromosome 3p is one of the most frequent chromosomal alterations in ESCC, suggesting the existence of one or more tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) at this region. In the present study, a recently developed high-throughput and high-resolution technology, single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-mass array, was applied to investigate loss of heterozygosity on 3p in 100 primary ESCC cases with 386 SNP markers.

Hepatitis B virus is inhibited by RNA interference in cell culture and in mice.

Background And Aims: For chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection the effects of current therapies are limited. Recently, RNA interference (RNAi) of virus-specific genes has emerged as a potential antiviral mechanism. Here we studied the effects of HBV-specific 21-bp short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) targeted to the surface antigen (HBsAg) region and the core antigen (HBcAg) region both in a cell culture system and in a mouse model for HBV replication.

[Inhibition of hepatitis B virus replication and expression by RNA interference in vivo].

Objective: To evaluate the inhibitory effect of small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting HBV C gene region on hepatitis B virus (HBV) in vivo.

Methods: An animal model of HBV infection was developed hydrodynamically, and pcDNA3.1-HBV and siRNA were together injected into the tail vein of the BALB/c mice.

Objective: To design pSilencer3.1-H1hygro plasmid expressing short interfering RNAs (siRNA) that target HBV S gene region, and to evaluate inhibitory effect of this siRNA on HBV in vitro.

Methods: HepG2.

Objective: To determine the role of Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) in synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) containing unmethylated CpG dinucleotides (CpG-ODN)-induced species-specific immune responses.

Inhibition of the hepatitis B virus replication in vitro by an oligodeoxynucleotide containing cytidine-guanosine motifs.

Oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) containing unmethylated CpG dinucleotides within specific sequence contexts (CpG motifs) are known as potent activators of the immune system and inducers of several Th1-associated immunomodulatory cytokines. CpG ODNs show promise as vaccine adjuvants and immunoprotective agents in animals. Here, we investigated the inhibitory effects of D type CpG ODN on hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication in vitro.
