Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of death worldwide. Using cDNA microarrays to characterize patterns gene expression in HCC, we found consistent differences between the HCC compared with those seen nontumor liver tissues. The were also readily distinguished from associated tumors metastatic liver. global intrinsic each tumor sufficiently distinctive that multiple nodules same patient could usually be recognized and all others large sample set on basis their alone. are...
This study examined the structure of psychopathic traits in 2 samples children. The nonreferred community sample included 1,136 children recruited from elementary schools school districts southeastern United States. clinic 160 referred to an outpatient mental health serving same geographic region. In both samples, parent and teacher ratings were subjected a principal-axis factor analysis, congruence across was using confirmatory analysis. 1 dimension that consisted callous unemotional have...
We have studied transport and localization of MBP mRNA in oligodendrocytes culture by microinjecting labeled into living cells analyzing the intracellular distribution injected RNA confocal microscopy. Injected initially appears dispersed perikaryon. Within minutes, forms granules which, case mRNA, are transported down processes to periphery cell where again becomes dispersed. In situ hybridization shows that endogenous also as perikaryon peripheral membranes. The not released extraction...
This study focused on the use of callous-unemotional (CU) traits to identify a subgroup children with both attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and conduct problem diagnosis (oppositional defiant [ODD] or [CD] who show characteristics similar adults psychopathy. In clinic-referred sample aged 6 13 years (N = 154), those diagnoses ADHD ODD/CD were divided basis teacher ratings CU traits. Children high these showed features typically associated psychopathy, such as lack fearfulness...
One method for defining pathways through which children develop severe conduct problems is based on the presence or absence of callous-unemotional (CU) traits. This study investigated potential differences between nonreferred (mean age = 12.36 years; SD 1.73) with and without CU traits (n 98). Children problems, irrespective traits, tended to have significant in emotional behavioral regulation. In contrast, irespective were associated a lack inhibition. Hostile attributional biases but only...
Independent measures of age acquisition (AoA), name agreement, and rated object familiarity were obtained from groups British subjects for all items in the Snodgrass Vanderwart (1980) picture set with single names. Word frequency measures, both written spoken, taken Celex database (Centre Lexical Information, 1993). The line drawings presented to a separate group participants an naming task, vocal latencies recorded. A subset 195 was selected analysis after excluding with, example, low...
Myelin basic protein (MBP) mRNA is localized to myelin produced by oligodendrocytes of the central nervous system. MBP microinjected into in primary culture assembled granules perikaryon, transported along processes, and compartment. In this work, microinjection various deleted chimeric RNAs was used delineate regions that are required for transport localization oligodendrocytes. The results indicate requires a 21-nucleotide sequence, termed RNA signal (RTS), 3′ UTR mRNA. Homologous...
Abstract Investigated several possible models to explain the seemingly discrepant relations between self-esteem and conduct problems, as both low exaggerated levels of self-esteem, thought be captured by narcissism, have been associated with aggressive antisocial behavior. Our sample consisted 98 nonreferred children (mean age = 11.9 years; SD 1.68 years) recruited from public schools oversample at risk for severe Results indicated that certain aspects narcissism (i.e., those indicating a...
This study examined the structure of a self-report measure forms and functions aggression in 855 adolescents (582 boys, 266 girls) aged 12 to 19 years recruited from high school, detained, residential settings. The Peer Conflict Scale (PCS) is 40-item that was developed improve upon existing measures provide an efficient, reliable, valid assessment four dimensions (i.e., reactive overt, relational, proactive relational) youths. Confirmatory factor analyses showed 4-factor model represented...
Following a brief history of age acquisition (AoA) research and consideration measures AoA, this review examines AoA effects in lexical processing tasks (such as object naming, word reading, recognition the decision task), semantic tasks. It also considers in: Memory tasks; face multiple-task studies; different groups participants (including bilinguals, aphasics, deep dyslexics). The then discusses theoretical accounts effects, especially within connectionist models, outlines number new...
Abstract The present study examined the importance of psychopathy‐linked narcissism in predicting proactive and reactive aggression conduct problems a group 160 moderately to highly aggressive children (mean age 10 years, 9 months). Children's self‐report self‐esteem parent teacher report dimensions psychopathy [narcissism, callous–unemotional (CU) traits, impulsivity], aggression, were collected. Composites ratings children's behavior used. Consistent with study's hypotheses, predicted...
Fear of missing out (FoMO) regarding activities within one’s social circle is a potential downside the advent media and more rapid forms communication. To examine generational or individual implications FoMO, this study considered age cohort differences self-perception correlates FoMO. Participants were 419 individuals from throughout U.S. who members 14- to 17-year-old, 24- 27-year-old, 34- 37-year-old, 44- 47-year-old cohorts. There no in overall FoMO close friends, family members. Across...
