    Congenital Heart Disease, Vol.16, No.3, pp. 255-267, 2021, DOI:10.32604/CHD.2021.014628 - 02 March 2021

    Abstract Background: Pediatric cardiology patients often experience decreased quality of life (QoL) and higher rates of mental illness, particularly with severe disease, but the relationship between them and comparisons across diagnostic groups are limited. This mixed-methods cross-sectional study assessed the association between QoL anxiety and behavior problems among children with structural heart disease, arrhythmia, or other cardiac diagnoses. Methods: Children (6–14 years, n = 76, 50% female) and their parents completed measures of QoL (PedsQL), behavior (BASC-2, subset of 19 children) and anxiety (MASC-2, children 8+ years). Pearson correlations/regression models examined associations between QoL, behavior and anxiety,… More >

    Si Yu1, Chunyang Zhang2, Yijun Lin1, Qian Zhang3, Wei Xu1,*

    International Journal of Mental Health Promotion, Vol.22, No.2, pp. 71-81, 2020, DOI:10.32604/IJMHP.2020.011194 - 16 June 2020

    Abstract Few studies have comprehensively explored the mechanism of the association between dispositional mindfulness and the process of internalization and externalization. Given that dispositional mindfulness can enhance the level of self-acceptance, the present study investigated the role of self-compassion in the effect of dispositional mindfulness on anxiety and aggressiveness among college students with left-behind experience (LBE). A total of 385 Chinese college students with LBE reported their level of dispositional mindfulness, anxiety symptoms, aggressiveness, and self-compassion. Dispositional mindfulness was negatively associated with anxiety and aggressiveness after controlling for gender, age, and whether they are the only More >

    BIOCELL, Vol.43, No.4, pp. 299-311, 2019, DOI:10.32604/biocell.2019.08407

    Abstract The impact of various vitamin D3 (VD3) doses (1.0, 2.5, or 5 mg/kg, s.c.) in mitigating the negative consequences of chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) was investigated. Adult female rats with long-term estrogen deficiency were assessed using the sucrose preference test (SPT), the elevated plus-maze (EPM), the light/dark test (LDT), and the open-field test (OFT) to measure anhedonia-like and anxiety-like behavior. The corticosterone (CS) and adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) concentrations in blood serum and the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression in the hippocampus of long-term ovariectomized (OVX) rats were measured by ELISA kits and/ or western… More >
