AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
To investigate if therapists' personality influences their patients' treatment outcomes. = 4,052 patients were treated by 69 therapists, including 36 Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners (PWPs) and 33 Cognitive Behavioural Therapists (CBTs). Therapists completed the NEO-PI-R personality inventory, they reported years of clinical experience, and expert assessors rated their clinical competence and reflective abilities. Their patients completed pre and post-treatment measures of depression (PHQ-9) and anxiety (GAD-7). Associations between therapist personality traits and patient treatment outcomes were examined using multilevel modelling, controlling for therapist demographics, clinical experience, technical competence and reflective ability. Relative to other sources of variability, therapists accounted for 1% to 3% of overall variability in treatment outcomes. However, the magnitude of systematic heterogeneity in performance was around 6%, such that the best-performing therapists outperformed average therapists by a margin of moderate to large effects ( = .57-1.10). Clinical experience, technical competence and reflective ability were unrelated to treatment outcomes. Patients treated by PWPs with above-average scores and CBTs with above-average scores had poorer treatment outcomes. Therapist effects may be partly explained by the influence of their personality on their work with anxious and depressed patients.

Oral Lactoferrin-Responsive Formulation Anchoring around Inflammatory Bowel Region for IBD Therapy.
Adv Healthc Mater
December 2024
Department of Oncology, The Second Affiliated Hospital, Medical School of Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an, Shaanxi, 710061, China.
Oral formulation is the ideal treatment method for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) therapy, but the mucosal damage and diarrhea symptoms impede the drug retention around the inflammatory region, severely limiting IBD therapeutic efficacy. To address this, an oral astaxanthin (Ast) precise delivery formulation is developed with the selective Ast anchoring around the inflammatory region by the novel lactoferrin (LF)-responsive flocculation. This formulation also heightens the apparent solubility of Ast with the minimized edible safety risks for the edible raw materials.

J Evid Based Med
December 2024
Centre for Evidence-Based Chinese Medicine, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, Beijing, China.
Objectives: Pregnant women had a large demand for diagnosis and treatment, but the clinical research was not sufficient, and there were many barriers for pregnant women to participate in clinical research. This study aimed to systematically identify these barriers and facilitators, map them with Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) and Behavior Change Techniques (BCTs) to inform the development of interventions promoting pregnant women's involvement in clinical research.
Methods: This was a mixed-methods systematic review.
Prevalence and Cardio-Renal Comorbidities of Masked Hypertension: A Meta-Analysis.
J Evid Based Med
December 2024
Department of Cardiology, Shunde Hospital, Southern Medical University (The First People's Hospital of Shunde), Foshan, China.
Aim: The prognosis of masked hypertension is controversial. The aims of this meta-analysis were to determine the global prevalence of masked hypertension and to better understand its association with the risk of cardiorenal comorbidities and all-cause mortality.
Methods: We searched the PubMed, Embase (OVID), The Cochrane Library, WanFang Data, and CNKI databases for relevant studies published from inception until January 15, 2024.
PRKAA2 Promotes Tumor Growth and Inhibits Ferroptosis through SLC7A11/GSH/GPX4 Pathway in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

December 2024
Department of Thoracic Surgery, Affiliated Sanming First Hospital of Fujian Medical University Sanming, Fujian, China.
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most pervasive sort of lung cancer with deadly outcome. According to recent studies, a number of neoplastic disorders and ferroptosis are intimately connected. This study aims to identify the role of key ferroptosis-related gene (protein kinase AMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha 2, PRKAA2) and explore new directions for the diagnosis and treatment of NSCLC.

Community Dent Oral Epidemiol
December 2024
Department of International and Community Oral Health, Tohoku University Graduate School of Dentistry, Sendai, Japan.
Objectives: The prevalence of dental caries is high in Japan, leading to a huge burden of overall expenditure on dental caries treatment for the population. School-based fluoride mouth-rinse (S-FMR) has been implemented as a public health intervention. However, its cost-effectiveness remains unclear, where universal health insurance covers a broad range of dental treatments at relatively low cost.
