BACKGROUND: Insomnia is a common health problem among cancer patients, which is not only a physical problem but also a psychological problem. Sleep plays an important role in the mental and somatic rehabilitation of cancer patients, and the sleep beliefs and attitudes of cancer patients are key factors in improving their sleep situation and quality of life. The aim of this study was to translate the Cancer-Related Dysfunctional Beliefs and Attitudes about Sleep (C-DBAS-14) scale into Chinese and to validate its reliability and validity in cancer patients...

BACKGROUND: Health care avoidance in the COVID-19 pandemic has been widely reported. Yet few studies have investigated the dynamics of hospital avoidance behavior during pandemic waves and inferred its impact on excess non-COVID-19 deaths. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to measure the impact of hospital avoidance on excess non-COVID-19 deaths in public hospitals in Hong Kong. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study involving 11,966,786 patients examined between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2021, in Hong Kong...

OBJECTIVE/BACKGROUND: Discrepancies between sleep diaries and actigraphy occur among individuals with insomnia. Cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) improves insomnia but the impact on discrepancy is unclear. This study examined CBT-I's effects on actigraphy-diary discrepancy and explored sleep-related beliefs and attitudes as a mediator. PATIENTS/METHODS: Participants were 108 (age M±SD = 47.23 ± 12.42, 67.60 % female) adults with insomnia and major depressive disorder from the Treatment of Insomnia and Depression study...

STUDY OBJECTIVES: Various models of insomnia stress the role of cognitive components, such as dysfunctional sleep-related beliefs, in maintenance and exacerbation of insomnia. This study aimed to employ network analysis to identify the particular beliefs that are central and have strong associations with insomnia severity. In addition, we aimed to employ a relative importance network to map out predictive pathways between types of dysfunctional beliefs and insomnia severity. METHODS: This study was a retrospective study, with data collected from 219 patients suffering from insomnia...

OBJECTIVE: To identify and critically evaluate models predicting insomnia treatment response in adult populations. METHODS: Pubmed, EMBASE, and PsychInfo databases were searched from January 2000 to January 2023 to identify studies reporting the development or validation of multivariable models predicting insomnia treatment outcomes in adults. Data were extracted according to CHecklist for critical Appraisal and data extraction for systematic Reviews of prediction Modelling Studies (CHARMS) guidelines and study quality was assessed using the Prediction model study Risk Of Bias Assessment Tool (PROBAST)...

Transcription factors (TFs) are indispensable components of transcriptional regulatory pathways involved in crop growth and development. Herein, we developed a new method for the identification of upstream TFs specific to genes in crops based on the binding affinities of biotin and avidin. First, we constructed and verified the new biotin and avidin system (BAS) by a coprecipitation assay. Subsequently, the feasibility of DNA-based BAS (DBAS) was further proved by in vivo and in vitro assays. Furthermore, we cloned the promoter of rice OsNRT1...

To unravel the role of driving force and structural changes in directing the photoinduced pathways in donor-bridge-acceptor (DBA) systems, we compared the ultrafast dynamics in novel DBAs which share a phenothiazine (PTZ) electron donor and a Pt(ii) trans -acetylide bridge (-C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C-Pt-C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C-), but bear different acceptors conjugated into the bridge (naphthalene-diimide, NDI; or naphthalene-monoimide, NAP). The excited state dynamics were elucidated by transient absorption, time-resolved infrared (TRIR, directly following electron density changes on the bridge/acceptor), and broadband fluorescence-upconversion (FLUP, directly following sub-picosecond intersystem crossing) spectroscopies, supported by TDDFT calculations...

OBJECTIVE: To explore the therapeutic effects of low frequency electroacupuncture (EA) combined with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for short-term insomnia. METHODS: Patients with "short-term insomnia" were randomly divided into the treatment and control groups. Patients in the treatment group were treated with low-frequency EA combined with CBT, while those in the control group were only treated with low-frequency EA. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), and Dysfunctional Beliefs and Attitudes about Sleep Scale (DBAS) scores in the two groups were compared before and after treatment within the same group, as well as between the two groups...

OBJECTIVES: Dysfunctional beliefs about sleep are associated with components of sleep health, but their association with global sleep health is understudied. Beliefs about sleep may systematically vary by race, which may influence the association between dysfunctional beliefs about sleep and global sleep health.

A strategy for the synthesis of dibenz[ a , j ]anthracenes (DBAs) from cyclohexa-2,5-diene-1-carboxylic acids is presented. Our approach involves sequential C-H olefination, cycloaddition, and decarboxylative aromatization. In the key step for DBA skeleton construction, the bis-C-H olefination products, 1,3-dienes, are utilized as substrates for [4 + 2] cycloaddition with benzyne. This concise synthetic route allows for regioselective ring formation and functional group introduction. The structural features and photophysical properties of the resulting DBA molecules are discussed...

BACKGROUND: Marital status is a robust sociodemographic predictor of sleep. Having to live apart from spouse may have different implications than those of cohabitants or singles, especially in military personnel. Further research on this group will help provide knowledge in advance and facilitate early targeted interventions. METHODS: An online questionnaire study was conducted from July to November 2021. A total of 1,832 male military personnel completed the questionnaire...

With the development of next-generation protein sequencing technologies, sequence assembly algorithm has become a key technology for de novo sequencing process. At present, the existing methods can address the assembly of an unknown single protein chain. However, for monoclonal antibodies with light and heavy chains, the assembly is still an unsolved question. To address this problem, we propose a new assembly method, DBAS, which integrates the quality scores and sequence alignment scores from de novo sequencing peptides into a weighted de Bruijn graph to assemble the final protein sequences...

Aliphatic triplet carbonyls can be treated as short-lived radicals, since both species share similar reactions such as hydrogen atom abstraction, cyclization, addition, and isomerization. Importantly, enzyme-generated triplet carbonyls excite triplet molecular oxygen to the highly reactive, electrophilic singlet state by resonance energy transfer, which can react with proteins, lipids, and DNA. Carbonyl triplets, singlet oxygen, and radicals are endowed with the potential to trigger both normal and pathological responses...

INTRODUCTION: Cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is recommended as the first-line treatment for insomnia, but low accessibility and relatively high cost limits the dissemination of the treatment. Several forms of digital CBT-I have been developed to increase the accessibility and shown to be effective; however, the treatment effect may be restricted by the lack of interaction within the treatment. The current study examines whether the therapeutic effects of self-help digital CBT-I could be enhanced by adding simple rule-based personalized feedback...
