Project description:Research shows that mindfulness practice can alter the expression of genes associated with energy metabolism, telomere maintenance, inflammatory and stress response. The aim of this study was to determine if mindfulness awareness practice (MAP) or health education program (HEP) might reverse cognitive impairment and/or prevent further cognitive decline in 60 subjects (aged 60-90). We investigated the gene expression changes in subject with mild cognitive impairment randomized to either group after 9 months. We used Affymetrix GeneChip Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 array to determine the differential gene expression between Pre- and Post-treatment samples from MAP and HEP group.

Project description:Colorectal cancer imposes threats to patients’ well-being. Although most physical symptoms can be managed by medication, psychosocial stressors may complicate survival and hamper quality of life. Mindfulness and Qigong, two kinds of mind-body exercise rooted in Eastern health philosophy, has been found effective in symptoms management, improving mental health, and reducing stress. With these potential benefits, a randomized controlled trial (RCT) is planned to investigate the comparative effectiveness of mindfulness and Baduanjin intervention on the bio-psychosocial wellbeing of people with colorectal cancer. A 3-arm RCT with waitlist control design will be used in this study. One hundred eighty-nine participants will be randomized into (i) Mindfulness, (ii) Baduanjin, or (iii) waitlist control groups. Participants in both the Baduanjin and mindfulness groups will receive 8-weeks of specific intervention. All three groups will undergo four assessment phases: (i) at baseline, (ii) at 4-week, (iii) at 8-week (post-intervention), and (iv) 6-month post-intervention (maintenance). All participants will be assessed in terms of cancer-related symptoms and symptom distress, mental health status, quality of life, stress level based on physiological marker. Based on prior research studies, participants in both the mindfulness and Baduanjn intervention group are expected to have better symptoms management, lower stress level, better mental health, and higher level of quality of life than the control group. This study contributes to better understanding on the common and unique effectiveness of mindfulness and Baduanjin qigong, as such patients and qualified healthcare professionals can select or provide practices which will produce maximum benefits, satisfaction, adherence, and sustainability.

Project description:Interventions: Group-based Mindfulness
The treatment group will receive the mindfulness intervention which comprises four two-hour face-to-face group sessions over four weeks. These sessions, which will be implemented in groups of up to 17 participants and facilitated by an experienced mindfulness based practitioner and a co-facilitator, will include psychoeducation about mindfulness concepts including non-judgemental awareness, and standard practices such as body scans of varying lengths, mindful walking, mindful poses and attention to the breath. Strategies and delivery of the group will be adapted to take into account any limitations posed by participants’ medical conditions. This intervention will occur in Christchurch, New Zealand in a room provided by Southern Cross Hospital.
Attendance will be recorded by the facilitator.
Primary outcome(s): Psychological distress measured using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale.[8 weeks post baseline]
Study Design: Purpose: Treatment; Allocation: Randomised controlled trial; Masking: Open (masking not used);Assignment: Parallel;Type of endpoint: Efficacy

Project description:Interventions: The intervention is a 9- week online mindfulness program called MindOnLine, which comprises three main components:
(1) an educational component to increase participants’ knowledge about the science and practice of mindfulness and how it can benefit them in everyday life;
(2) a formal mindfulness meditation practice to improve awareness and emotion regulation; and
(3) an informal practice to teach participants how to bring mindfulness to daily activities.
Mindfulness education will be delivered using videos and associated video scripts. A new theme is introduced each week with a new meditation practice, which participants will be encouraged to practise every day. Themes include: introduction, reducing stress, relating to emotions, self-compassion, communicating mindfully, living mindfully, reducing worry, reducing worries mindfully and maintaining mindfulness.
Each video is approximately 5-10 minutes in length. At the end of each week, participants will receive an email with a link to the video introducing the theme for the upcoming week. The script for the videos will be available for downloading and printing in a pdf format so that participants can keep a copy for later reference. At the end of each video, participants will be reminded by email to continue with their daily meditation practice (formal practice), and given specific informal practice during their daily activities. Examples of informal practice include: Week 1 – This weeks, notice times you are aware; time you are fully engaged with what you are doing or giving your full attention to someone. And notice times you are not paying attention to the moment you are in; when you are distracted. See if you can notice the difference between these two modes of being.”; Week 2 – notice
Primary outcome(s): Fear of cancer recurrence is the primary outcome of the study. The 42-item Fear of Cancer Recurrence Inventory (FCRI) is a multidimensional FCR scale intended for use with all cancer patients. Items were developed on the basis of a cognitive–behavioural formulation of FCR (range:0- 168)13. The FCRI consists of seven domains: triggers, severity, psychological distress, functional impairment, reassurance, insight and coping strategies (range:0-36). It has shown high internal consistency, good construct and criterion validity in adults with different cancer types. [9-weeks.]

Project description:Influenza infection is a worldwide health and financial burden posing a significant risk to the immune-compromised, obese, diabetic, elderly, and pediatric populations. We identified increases in glucose metabolism in the lungs of pediatric patients infected with respiratory pathogens. Using quantitative mass spectrometry we found metabolic changes occurring after influenza infection in primary human respiratory cells, and validated infection associate increases in c-Myc, glycolysis, and glutaminolysis. We confirmed these findings with a metabolic drug screen and high throughput titering that identified the PI3K/mTOR inhibitor BEZ235 as a regulator of infectious virus production. BEZ235 treatment ablated the transient induction of c-Myc, restored PI3K/mTOR pathway homeostasis measured by 4E-BP1 and p85 phosphorylation, and reversed infection-induced changes in glucose and glutamine metabolism. Importantly, BEZ235 reduced infectious progeny but had no effect on viral entry or the early stages of viral replication. In a lethal infection model, BEZ235 significantly increased survival while reducing viral titer and respiratory distress. Here we show metabolic reprogramming of host cells by influenza virus exposes targets for therapeutic intervention.
