Parental responses to children's pain shape how children interpret and cope with pain symptoms through parental modelling and operant conditioning. Evidence suggests that parental distraction is effective in reducing children's acute pain responses, but findings are inconsistent across pain tolerance, intensity and unpleasantness, and are limited to samples of primarily middle and upper-middle class families. Although socioeconomically disadvantaged families may have fewer psychological resources to cope with pain, no studies have examined whether the utility of parent distraction varies by family socioeconomic status (SES). The current study tested the hypothesis that relations between parental distraction and acute pain responses in children vary by family SES, with children from higher versus lower SES families experiencing more substantial benefits.

Children's pain symptoms and parents' use of verbal distraction during a cold pressor task were examined in a community sample of 530 twin children aged 7an acute pain task vary by family SES. Although parental distraction may be effective for higher SES children, further research is needed to identify whether and why distraction may not be beneficial for lower SES families.

The main aim of this study was to compare the long-term outcome of a conventional colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in which submucosal dissection was continued throughout until the completion of resection (ESD-T) to hybrid endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD-H) in the colorectum.

Medical records of 836 colorectal neoplasia patients treated by ESD-T or ESD-H were reviewed. ESD-H was defined as colorectal ESD with additional snaring in the final stage of the procedure. Primary outcomes were the overall and metastatic recurrence rates. Secondary outcomes were short-term outcomes such as the en bloc resection rate, procedure time and adverse events.

The overall recurrence rate was higher in the ESD-H than in the ESD-T group (5.7% vs 0.7%, P=0.001). Iruplinalkib The metastatic recurrence rate showed no significant difference between these groups (1.4% vs 1.4%, P=1.000). Multivariate analysis revealed that a failed en bloc resection (hazard ratio 24.097; 95% CI 5.446-106.237; P<0.001) and larger tumour size (hazard ratio 1.042; 95% CI 1.014-1.070; P=0.003) were independently associated with overall recurrence. The ESD-H group showed a lower en bloc resection rate (56.8% vs 96.5%, P<0.001), shorter procedure time (45.6 vs 54.3min, P<0.001) and higher perforation rate (10.3% vs 6.0%, P=0.029).

Although long-term outcomes in terms of overall recurrence are inferior following ESD-H, a failed en bloc resection and large tumour size are the only independent risk factors for recurrence. Further investigations are warranted to improve the long-term outcomes of ESD-H.

The biofilm category includes biofilm formation, biofilm consortia, bacterial signals, biofouling, extracellular polymeric substances, and biofilm membrane bioreactors. The biofilm reactors category provides recent information on rotating biological contactors, fluidized-bed biofilm reactors, integrated fixed-film activated sludge, moving-bed biofilm reactors, packed-bed biofilm reactors, sequencing biofilm batch reactors, and trickling filters.This work reports the preparation of unique hierarchical yolk/double-shelled SiOx @TiO2 @C nanospheres with different voids by a facile sol-gel method combined with carbon coating. In the preparation process, SiOx nanosphere is used as a hard template. Etch time of SiOx yolk affects the morphology and electrochemical performance of SiOx @TiO2 @C. With the increase in etch time, the yolk/double-shelled SiOx @TiO2 @C with 15 and 30 nm voids and the TiO2 @C hollow nanospheres are obtained. The yolk/double-shelled SiOx @TiO2 @C nanospheres exhibit remarkable lithium-ion battery performance as anodes, including high lithium storage capacity, outstanding rate capability, good reversibility, and stable long-term cycle life. The unique structure can accommodate the large volume change of the SiOx yolk, provide a unique buffering space for the discharge/charge processes, improve the structural stability of the electrode material during repeated Li+ intercalation/deintercalation processes, and enhance the cycling stability. The SiOx @TiO2 @C with 30 nm void space exhibits a high discharge specific capacity of ≈1195.4 mA h g-1 at the current density of 0.1 A g-1 after 300 cycles and ≈701.1 mA h g-1 at 1 A g-1 for over 800 cycles. These results suggest that the proposed particle architecture is promising and may have potential applications in improving various high performance anode materials.Viral infections of the central nervous system (CNS) often cause disease in an age-dependent manner, with greater neuropathology during the fetal and neonatal periods. Transgenic CD46+ mice model these age-dependent outcomes through a measles virus infection of CNS neurons. Adult CD46+ mice control viral spread and survive the infection in an interferon gamma (IFNγ)-dependent manner, whereas neonatal CD46+ mice succumb despite similar IFNγ expression in the brain. Thus, we hypothesized that IFNγ signaling in the adult brain may be more robust, potentially due to greater basal expression of IFNγ signaling proteins. To test this hypothesis, we evaluated the expression of canonical IFNγ signaling proteins in the neonatal and adult brain, including the IFNγ receptor, Janus kinase (JAK) 1/2, and signal transducer and activator of transcription-1 (STAT1) in the absence of infection. We also analyzed the expression and activation of STAT1 and IFNγ-stimulated genes during MV infection. We found that neonatal brains have equivalent or greater JAK/STAT1 expression in the hippocampus and the cerebellum than adults.
