There are now replicated findings that posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms related to the September 11, 2001, attacks occurred in large numbers of persons who did not fit traditional definition exposure a traumatic event.These data explained by epidemiologic "bull's eye" disaster models, which assume psychological effects narrowly, geographically circumscribed, or existing models PTSD onset.In this article, authors develop researchable model explain these and other...

Gender differences were examined in the context of situational effects. Participants monitored interpersonal behavior for 20 days, using an event-sampling strategy. The behaviors reflected dominance and submissiveness (components agency) agreeableness quarrelsomeness communion). situations status work roles: interactions with boss, co-worker, supervisee. Status influenced agency. Individuals most agentic when a supervisee least boss. did not influence agency but communal behaviors. Women...

Abstract A Web‐based survey of adults who experienced loss during the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks was conducted to examine prevalence and correlates complicated grief (CG) 2.5–3.5 years after attacks. Forty‐three percent a study group 704 bereaved across United States screened positive for CG. In multivariate analyses, CG associated with female gender, child, death deceased at World Trade Center, live exposure coverage on television. Posttraumatic stress disorder, major depression,...

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are often recommended in combination with established cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBTs) for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but combined initial treatment of PTSD has not been studied under controlled conditions. There also few studies either SSRIs or CBT treating related to terrorism. The authors compared prolonged exposure therapy (a CBT) plus paroxetine (an SSRI) placebo the terrorism-related PTSD.Adult survivors World Trade Center...

The researchers examined the number of cells showing Fos-like immunoreactivity (Fos-lir) in brains hormonally primed parturient rat dams immediately following their first behavioral interactions with pups. Groups were exposed to newborn pups (pup), adult conspecifics (social), or a new food (food), they left alone cages (control/isolate) for 1-hr period. Rats then killed, and prepared immunohistochemical detection Fos-lir. pup group had higher numbers showing. Fos-lir within medial preoptic...

Abstract The present research examined the moderating influence of situations involving friends and romantic partners on gender differences in interpersonal behaviors reflecting agency communion. Behavior was studied three varying social role dyadic composition: same‐sex friendships, opposite‐sex relationships. To obtain multiple events representing each relationship situation, participants recorded information about their interactions during a 20‐day period using an event‐contingent...

The WRKY family of transcription factors plays a pivotal role in plant responses to biotic and abiotic stress. Group III factor OsWRKY114 is positive regulator innate immunity against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae; however, its stress largely unknown. In this study, we showed that the abundant transcripts present transgenic rice plants are reduced under drought conditions. overexpression significantly increased sensitivity rice, which resulted lower survival rate after Moreover, stomatal...

Background Axis I comorbidity complicates diagnosing axis II personality disorders (PDs). PDs might influence outcome. No research has examined psychotherapy effects on of treating comorbidity. Secondary analysis a randomized controlled trial PD diagnostic stability after brief chronic posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Methods Patients with PTSD were randomly assigned to 14 weeks prolonged exposure, interpersonal psychotherapy, or relaxation therapy. Assessments included the Structured...

Abstract Background The in vitro production of mature human red blood cells (RBCs) from induced pluripotent stem (iPSCs) has been the focus research to meet high demand for transfusions. However, limitations like costs and technological requirements restrict use RBCs produced by iPSC differentiation specific circumstances, such as patients with rare types or alloimmunized patients. In this study, we developed a detailed protocol generation lines derived peripheral donors O D-positive (D–and...

ABO antigen weakness is rarely observed in typing for transfusion. Hematologic diseases and associated gene mutations have been suggested as potential causes of this phenomenon, yet the precise etiology has not elucidated. Through genetic analysis data conducted over 7 years, we reconfirmed association between hematologic diseases, especially acute myeloid leukemia (odds ratio [OR], 2.55; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.12-5.83) myelodysplastic syndrome (OR, 6.94; CI, 2.86-16.83), discovered...

The VERNALIZATION1 (VRN1) gene is a crucial transcriptional repressor involved in triggering the transition to flowering response prolonged cold. To develop Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa L. ssp. pekinensis) plants with delayed time, we designed multiplex CRISPR/Cas9 platform that allows co-expression of four sgRNAs targeting different regions endogenous BrVRN1 delivered via single binary vector built using Golden Gate cloning system. DNA sequencing analysis revealed site-directed mutations...

SummarySummaryScab, caused by Venturia nashicola, is one of the most damaging diseases in pear. The development varieties resistant to scab has long been an aim Asian pear breeding programmes. application molecular markers select scab-resistant plants will increase efficiency To identify DNA linked scab-resistance gene named Rvn2 PS2-93-3-98, progeny a cross between PS2-93-3-98 and ‘Yali’ was studied. As clearly segregated 1:1 F1 progeny, single dominant gene. Bulked segregant analysis...

Abstract In the wake of 9/11, mental health community began to develop a model for recovery and preparedness. A public information campaign regarding psychological consequences terrorism was launched, it succeeded in reducing stigma utilizing services. However, as this succeed, became clear that most clinicians had little training evidence-based assessment treatment procedures sequelae terrorism. This article describes development, delivery, initial one attempt correct problem by broadly...

Maize seeds harvested in the field have higher vitality than those greenhouses but contamination rates terms of fungal or bacterial infection. It is important to disinfect maize before sowing because are a source infection and damage crop production. In this study, we aimed provide an efficient seed sterilization method manage infections field-harvested seeds. The optimized protocol was set up according disinfectant liquid immersion time, inverting RPM (rotations per minute), number seeds,...

A nar promoter system (a modified in a mutant host Escherichia coli (pMW618/W3110narL−)), which is maximally induced under microaerobic conditions, was developed and characterized through batch fed-batch culture to see whether the can be used as an oxygen-dependent inducible absence of nitrate ion. The (pMW618) derived by mutations at −10 −35 regions wild-type does not require ion for full induction, while E. coli, W3110narL−, express nitrate-dependent regulatory protein, NARL, from...
