Project description:Analysis of transcript abundance estimates as a function of child soldier status, PTSD symptoms, and psychological resilience. Gene expression profiling was conducted on dried blood spot (DBS) samples collected from community dwelling adolescents and young adults in Nepal. Approximatley half of the sample were former child soldiers in the Nepal People's War and the other half were demographically similiar civilian non-combatants. In addition to basic demographic characteristics (age, sex, ethnic minority status, social caste status, education level), participants were also assessed on syptoms of post-traumatic stress (PTS, assessed by a culturally adapted version of The Child PTSD Symptom Scale; Kohrt BA, et al. (2011) Validation of cross-cultural child mental health and psychosocial research instruments: adapting the Depression Self-Rating Scale and Child PTSD Symptom Scale in Nepal. BMC Psychiatry 11(1):e127, with higher values indicating greater PTSD symptoms) and psychological resilience (assessed by a culturally adapted version of the Resilience Scale; Wagnild GM & Young HM (1993) Development and psychometric evaluation of the Resilience Scale. Journal of Nursing Measurement, with higher values indicating greater resilience). Dichotomous variables were coded 0=no/absent and 1=yes/present. Valid gene expression data are available for 254 samples.

Project description:Study hypothesis: 1. In patients attending the Oncology Health Centres for the first time, what is the relative effectiveness of live relaxation "LIVEREL" and recorded relaxation "RECREL" (i.e. "treatment as usual" including audio recorded relaxation as part of support within the Oncology Health Centres) on mood, coping and quality of life?
2. What is the relative cost-effectiveness of LIVEREL and RECREL?
3. What are the immediate effects of live versus recorded relaxation instructions on blood pressure and pulse rate?
If patients randomised to LIVEREL have significantly higher relaxation scores on the Mood Rating Scale than those randomised to RECREL, we would conclude that the beneficial effects of LIVEREL was due to the extra social contact and/or the effects of live feedback on performance.
Primary outcome(s): Relaxation scale score on the Mood Rating Scale (MRS), (Anderson et al., 2000; Johnson et al., 1996; Walker et al., 1997; Walker et al., 1999; Wesnes et al., 1997b), measured at 8 weeks

Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study was to characterized the transcriptome profiles of whole-blood cells from 388 specimens obtained from 106 individuals before and after the meditation retreat at four-time points (T1–T4) by RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). T1 samples were collected 5-8 weeks before the retreat, T2 samples were collected on the day of retreat before starting the meditation method, T3 samples were collected immediately after the retreat, and T4 samples were collected three months after the retreat. Methods: The human blood samples were collected into PAXgene Blood RNA Tubes and stored at -80°C freezer. Before RNA extraction the samples were removed from -80°C and incubated overnight at room temperature. The samples were randomized before RNA extraction to eliminate any time point or age or sex or batch effect. Manufacturer’s protocol of manual purification of total RNA from human whole blood was followed (Qiagen, cat #762164). RNA was reverse transcribed to complementary DNA (Lexogen QuantSeq 3′ FWD), and sequenced on a HiSeq 4000 instrument (Illumina). Results: We applied a comprehensive systems biology approach starting with whole blood gene expression profiling combined with multi-level bioinformatic analyses to characterize the co-expression, transcriptional, and protein-protein interaction networks to identify meditation-specific core network after an advanced eight-day Inner Engineering retreat program. We found the response to oxidative stress, detoxification, and cell cycle regulation pathways were downregulated after meditation. Strikingly, 220 genes directly associated with immune response, including 68 genes related to interferon (IFN) signaling were upregulated, with no significant expression changes in the inflammatory genes. This robust meditation-specific immune response network is significantly dysregulated in multiple sclerosis and severe COVID-19 patients. Conclusions: The present proof-of-principle study demonstrates that the immune system can be voluntarily influenced by non-pharmaceutical interventions like yoga and meditation. This suggests that meditation as a behavioral intervention could have important implications for treating various conditions associated with excessive or persistent inflammation with a dampened immune system profile.

Project description:<p>Late infantile ceroid lipofuscinosis (LINCL) is a rare, rapidly progressing lysosomal storage disease resulting from mutations in the CLN2 gene that lead to deficiency in the lysosomal protease tripeptidyl peptidase I (TPP-I). The symptoms are largely neurological with onset at 2-4 years age with progression to death at age 8-12 yrs. The rareness of the disease and the likelihood of non-uniform progression depending on genotype together limit the data available regarding the natural history of disease progression. Current neurological rating scales are used to give an overall quantitative description of the disease but the categories are generally broad and imprecise.</p> <p>With that background, the primary focus of this study is to use clinical rating scales and magnetic resonance imaging methods to define the natural history of LINCL and to provide objective and sensitive surrogates for neurological status and the impact of experimental treatments in children with LINCL. Together these parameters will be applicable to future clinical studies of novel therapies for LINCL and should be transferrable to other neurological lysosomal storage diseases. Subjects will be assessed at 2 visits separated by ≥1 yr. Brain morphometry, water self-diffusion coefficients and spectroscopic data will be obtained via magnetic resonance. Resulting MRI biomarkers will be compared with neurological assessment of disease severity using the Weill-Cornell LINCL rating scale.</p>

Project description:Intervention 1: The intervention in the present study for the people of the intervention group will include providing spiritual care, derived from the spiritual-religious strategies of Richards and Bergin, who will receive 6 sessions in groups of 10 people 2 days a week (4 days apart) for 3 weeks. The duration of the intervention is 15-20 minutes, and the topics of spiritual care will be in the form of a face-to-face conversation and the presentation of a pamphlet containing the topics presented in the sessions. The sessions will include counseling, lectures, PowerPoint presentations, questions and answers, and group discussions, expressing experiences related to the topic and contents of the session between the researcher, patients, and their home caregivers. The phone and SMS system will be available to the participants during the study period to solve their questions and concerns. After the intervention, resilience and self-efficacy questionnaires will be completed by patients in both intervention and control groups. Intervention 2: The group in which no intervention is used, so the level of resilience and self-efficacy of the participants will be evaluated at the beginning and three weeks later. Participants in this group will not receive any palliative care program. Like the participants in the intervention group, these patients will follow all the doctor’s prescriptions and usual care such as taking anti-nausea drugs, corticosteroids, benzodiazepines and other drugs according to the doctor’s request.
Primary outcome(s): Resilience. Timepoint: 2 and 4 weeks after the intervention. Method of measurement: Connor and Davidson Resilience Questionnaire (CD-RISC).;Self-efficacy. Timepoint: 2 and 4 weeks after the intervention. Method of measurement: General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE-10).
Study Design: Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Factorial, Purpose: Education/Guidance, Randomization description: The initial sampling will be based on the available method and the main sampling of the present study will be in the form of block randomization. Patients who meet the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into two groups, the intervention group and the control group. Sealed Envelope Ltd 2019 online randomization service was used to generate the randomization list.

Project description:We aimed to investigate the stress relaxation properties of five different thermoplastic aligner materials subjected to 14 days of constant deflection. Five different thermoplastic aligner materials were selected, whose elastic properties varied: F22 Evoflex, F22 Aligner, Durasoft, Erkoloc-Pro and Duran. The static properties of these materials-in particular, stiffness, stress-strain curve and yield stress-were measured with a three-point bending test. For all the tests that were performed, a minimum of three samples per material were tested. The yield load, yield strength, deformation and particularly the stiffness of each material were found to be similar in the single-layer samples, while the double-layer samples showed far lower stiffness values and were similar one to another. F22 Evoflex and Erkoloc-Pro maintained the highest percentages of stress, 39.2% and 36.9%, respectively, during the 15-day period. Duran and Durasoft obtained the lowest final stress values, 0.5 MPa and 0.4 MPa, respectively, and the lowest percentage of normalized stress, 4.6% and 3.9%, respectively, during the 15-day period. All the materials that we tested showed a rapidity of stress decay during the first few hours of application, before reaching a plateau phase. The F22 Evoflex material showed the greatest level of final stress, with relatively constant stress release during the entire 15-day period. Further research after in vivo aging is necessary in order to study the real aligners' behavior during orthodontic treatment.
