7% of the overall variance Dependency and Physical Symptoms, Psychological Distress, Existential Distress, and SocialSupport. BB-94 Concurrent validity was confirmed by significant correlations between PDI-K and Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (r=0.40 to 0.59, P<0.001), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (r=0.78 to 0.81, P<0.001), and Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Spiritual Well-Being (r=-0.32 to -0.57, P<0.001).

Our findings indicate that the PDI-K is a valid and reliable instrument to measure dignity-related distress in patients with advanced cancer. This tool provides a four-factor Korean language alternative to the PDI.

Most previous studies considered advance directives (AD) as one outcome, which conceals possible variations of individuals' decisions on two AD documents-living will (LW) and durable power of attorney for health care (PA).

To address this issue, this study examined how completions of PA and LW are associated with race, and whether SES and health can partially explain the racial disparities of AD possession.

The sample included 9902 older adults from the 2016 wave of the Health and Retirement Study. AD completion was coded as a four-category variable, including no PA or LW, no PA, no LW, and both PA and LW. Race was categorized as non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, Hispanic, and Asian or Native American. Socioeconomic status (SES) was measured by education and household wealth. Health was indicated by chronic conditions and functional limitations. Multinomial logistic regression models were used to examine the racial effects of AD possession and the effects of SES and health conditions.

Older adults who only have PA or only have LW significantly differed in racial identity, SES and health. The regression results show that being a racial minority was associated with a lower likelihood to have both ADs and only PA. SES partially buffered racial disparities in AD possession, while the moderation of health was not consistently significant.

The findings highlight the importance of examining the completions of two AD documents and indicate the necessity of developing distinct and concrete strategies to promote the completion of PA and LW.

The protein level of all the ER stress related signaling factors (GRP78, IRE1α, ATF6, eIF2α, ATF4, XBP-1, GADD153) were estimated after 3 and 7 day of experiment initiation. Findings with single administration of interventions showed that salubrinal exhibited significant protection against rotenone induced adverse alterations in comparison to other interventions. Therefore, further study was expanded with repeat dose of salubrinal. Rotenone administration in rat brain caused the significant biochemical alterations, dose dependent progressive neuronal apoptosis and altered neuronal morphology which was significantly attenuated with salubrinal treatment. In conclusion, findings showed that rotenone administration caused the dose dependent progressive neuronal death including cardinal role of eIF2α, suggesting the potential pharmacological utilization of salubrinal or salubrinal like molecules in therapeutics of Parkinson's diseases.Ideally, schools are learning environments that promote intellectual growth while nurturing healthy social and emotional development. Schools are also a microcosm of the bigger world in which students live, mirroring the best and worst of our society, including the debility of systemic racism. One way in which this inequity is perpetuated within schools is through exclusionary discipline practices, and the disproportionate impact these practices have on Black and multiracial Black children, as well as on single-parent families.Over the past few decades, research on sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) has grown at an exponential rate, with the number of published studies mentioning SCT doubling between 1985 and 2000, doubling again between 2000 and 2010, and doubling again between 2010 and 2014.1 As Becker2 described in the review published in this issue, ad hoc measurement of SCT hindered early research, but this began to change in 2009 with the publication of the first rating scale specifically designed to measure SCT and developed using empirically supported principles.3 In the decade since, Becker's (as well as numerous others') efforts have meaningfully and significantly contributed to improving the measurement of SCT in several ways.4-6 His latest review study is an important addition to this line of research. Specifically, in the review article published in this issue, Becker comprehensively searched for measures of SCT and then systematically reviewed the psychometric and other properties of the identified measures.Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), one of the most common plasticizers, is closely associated with a high prevalence of pubertal type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Numerous studies have indicated that DEHP-induced metabolic toxicity exhibits sex differences. In this study, the sex differences in the effect of DEHP on pubertal T2DM (P-T2DM) mice, the susceptibility of female P-T2DM mice to DEHP-induced metabolic toxicity, and the underlying mechanisms were investigated. DEHP exposure exacerbated metabolic disorders in female P-T2DM mice. Factorial analysis showed that female P-T2DM mice were more sensitive to DEHP exposure than female normal mice and male P-T2DM mice. It was determined by integrated biomarker response results that female P-T2DM mice had higher risks of developing T2DM, metabolic disorders, cardiovascular events and hepatotoxicity than male P-T2DM mice. Moreover, hepatic transcriptome analysis emphasized the effects of DEHP on the expression of oxidative injury- and metabolic function-related genes.
