Background and objective
Hostility may be associated with greater systemic inflammation. However, contradictory evidence exists. Certain individuals or dimensions of hostility may be more susceptible to these effects. Main and interactive effects of hostility with sex and/or age were evaluated on markers of inflammation, independently of traditional risk factors for coronary artery disease.Methods
199 healthy men (81) and women (118), aged 20–64 years (M = 41 ± 11 years) were recruited. Hostility was assessed using the Cook–Medley Hostility Inventory (CMHo) and ecological momentary assessments (EMA) of quarrelsome behavior and angry affect in daily living. Blood samples were drawn to measure inflammatory activity (Il-6, TNF-α, hsCRP, Il-8, Il-10, Il-18, MCP-1) and lipid oxidation (Myeloperoxidase; MPO). Correlations and hierarchical regression analyses were performed controlling for pertinent behavioral, psychological, medical, and socio-demographic factors.Results
Significant univariate associations emerged between CMHo and Il-6, TNF-α, MCP-1 (p < .05). Hierarchical regressions showed interactions of hostility with sex (Il-6, TNF-α; p < .05) and age (hsCRP, Il-6, TNF-α; p < .05). For example, in simple slope analyses, hostility was positively related to TNF-α in women (b = 0.009, p = 0.006) but not men. Greater hostility was also related to greater Il-6 levels among younger women (b = . 027, p = 0.000).Conclusion
Hostility, particularly cynical hostility, may be detrimental to (younger) women. The TNF-α, Il-6, CRP triad appears vulnerable to psychological and behavioral factors, and may be one mechanism by which cynical hostility (CMHo) contributes to increased cardiovascular risk in women. Prospective research is needed to verify this. 相似文献2.

Objective
Suppression of emotion has long been suspected to have a role in health, but empirical work has yielded mixed findings. We examined the association between emotion suppression and all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality over 12 years of follow-up in a nationally representative US sample.Methods
We used the 2008 General Social Survey–National Death Index (GSS–NDI) cohort, which included an emotion suppression scale administered to 729 people in 1996. Prospective mortality follow up between 1996 and 2008 of 111 deaths (37 by cardiovascular disease, 34 by cancer) was evaluated using Cox proportional hazards models adjusted for age, gender, education, and minority race/ethnicity.Results
The 75th vs. 25th percentile on the emotional suppression score was associated with hazard ratio (HR) of 1.35 (95% Confidence Interval [95% CI] = 1.00, 1.82; P = .049) for all-cause mortality. For cancer and cardiovascular disease mortality, the HRs were 1.70 (95% CI = 1.01, 2.88, P = .049) and 1.47 (95% CI = .87, 2.47, P = .148) respectively.Conclusions
Emotion suppression may convey risk for earlier death, including death from cancer. Further work is needed to better understand the biopsychosocial mechanisms for this risk, as well as the nature of associations between suppression and different forms of mortality. 相似文献3.

Objective
Optimism is thought to be associated with long-term favourable outcomes for patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Our objective was to examine the association between optimism and post-operative pain and physical symptoms in CABG patients.Methods
We assessed optimism pre-operatively in 197 adults undergoing CABG surgery, and then followed them up 6–8 weeks after the procedure to measure affective pain, pain intensity, and physical symptom reporting directly pertaining to CABG surgery.Results
Greater optimism measured pre-operatively was significantly associated with lower pain intensity (β = − 0.150, CI = − 0.196 to − 0.004, p = .042) and fewer physical symptoms following surgery (β = − 0.287, CI = − 0.537 to − 0.036, p = .025), but not with affective pain, after controlling for demographic, clinical and behavioural covariates, including negative affectivity.Conclusions
Optimism is a modest, yet significant, predictor of pain intensity and physical symptom reporting after CABG surgery. Having positive expectations may promote better recovery. 相似文献4.

Objective
Data suggests that traumatic experiences at early age contribute to the onset of major depressive disorder (MDD) in later life. This study aims at investigating the influence of dispositional resilience on this relationship.Methods
Two thousand and forty-six subjects aged 29–89 (SD = 13.9) from a community based sample who were free of MDD during the last 12 months prior to data collection were diagnosed for Lifetime diagnosis of MDD by the Munich-Composite International Diagnostic Interview (M-CIDI) according to DSM-IV criteria. Childhood maltreatment (CM) and resilience were assessed with the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) and the Resilience-Scale (RS-25).Results
Both CM (OR = 1.03, 95% CI [1.02, 1.04], P < .000) and resilience (OR = 0.98, 95% CI [0.98, 0.99], P < .000) were associated with MDD later in life. The detrimental effects of low resilience on MDD were not only especially prominent in subjects with a history of CM (OR = 3.18, 95% CI [1.84, 5.50], P < .000), but also effective in subjects without CM (OR = 2.62, 95% CI [1.41, 4.88], P = .002).Conclusions
The findings support the clinical assumption that resilient subjects may be partly protected against the detrimental long-term effects of child abuse and neglect. 相似文献5.

Objective
The objective was to assess the feasibility and acceptability of nine positive psychology exercises delivered to patients hospitalized for suicidal thoughts or behaviors, and to secondarily explore the relative impact of the exercises.Method
Participants admitted to a psychiatric unit for suicidal ideation or behavior completed daily positive psychology exercises while hospitalized. Likert-scale ratings of efficacy (optimism, hopelessness, perceived utility) and ease of completion were consolidated and compared across exercises using mixed models accounting for age, missing data and exercise order. Overall effects of exercise on efficacy and ease were also examined using mixed models.Results
Fifty-two (85.3%) of 61 participants completed at least one exercise, and 189/213 (88.7%) assigned exercises were completed. There were overall effects of exercise on efficacy (χ2= 19.39; P= .013) but not ease of completion (χ2= 11.64; P= .17), accounting for age, order and skipped exercises. Effect (Cohen’s d) of exercise on both optimism and hopelessness was moderate for the majority of exercises. Exercises related to gratitude and personal strengths ranked highest. Both gratitude exercises had efficacy scores that were significantly (P= .001) greater than the lowest-ranked exercise (forgiveness).Conclusion
In this exploratory project, positive psychology exercises delivered to suicidal inpatients were feasible and associated with short-term gains in clinically relevant outcomes. 相似文献6.

Objective
Pregnant adolescents have high rates of poor birth outcomes, but the causes are unclear. We present a prospective, longitudinal study of pregnant adolescents assessing associations between maternal psychobiological stress indices and offspring gestational age at birth and birthweight.Method
Healthy nulliparous pregnant adolescents were recruited (n = 205) and followed during pregnancy. Ambulatory assessments over 24 h of perceived psychological stress (collected every 30 min) and salivary cortisol (6 samples) and a summary questionnaire, the Perceived Stress Scale, were collected at three time points (13–16, 24–27, and 34–37 gestational weeks). Corticotropin-releasing hormone, C-reactive protein, and interleukin 6 were assayed from blood taken at the latter 2 sessions. A final sample of 119 participants was selected for analyses.Results
The ambulatory assessment of perceived psychological stress was positively correlated with the Perceived Stress Scale (r = .20, p = .03) but neither was associated with any of the biological assays (all ps > .20). Based on backward selection regression models that included all stress variables and relevant covariates, the ambulatory assessments of perceived psychological stress and cortisol — though not the Perceived Stress Scale — were negatively associated with gestational age at birth (F(4, 107) = 3.38, p = .01) while cortisol was negatively related to birthweight (F(5, 107) = 14.83, p < .0001).Conclusions
Targeted interventions to reduce psychological and biological indicators of heightened stress during pregnancy may have positive public health benefits for the offspring given the associations of shortened gestation and lower birthweight with risk for poor mental and physical health outcomes. 相似文献7.

Objective
The DiaMind trial showed beneficial immediate effects of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) on emotional distress, but not on diabetes distress and HbA1c. The aim of the present report was to examine if the effects would be sustained after six month follow-up.Methods
In the DiaMind trial, 139 outpatients with diabetes (type-I or type-II) and a lowered level of emotional well-being were randomized into MBCT (n = 70) or a waiting list with treatment as usual (TAU: n = 69). Primary outcomes were perceived stress, anxiety and depressive symptoms, and diabetes distress. Secondary outcomes were, among others, health status, and glycemic control (HbA1c).Results
Compared to TAU, MBCT showed sustained reductions at follow-up in perceived stress (p < .001, d = .76), anxiety (p < .001, assessed by HADS d = .83; assessed by POMS d = .92), and HADS depressive symptoms (p = .004, d = .51), but not POMS depressive symptoms when using Bonferroni correction for multiple testing (p = .016, d = .48). No significant between-group effect was found on diabetes distress and HbA1c.Conclusion
This study showed sustained benefits of MBCT six months after the intervention on emotional distress in people with diabetes and a lowered level of emotional well-being.Trial registration

Objective
There is paucity of information on epilepsy and suicide in Nigeria. The objective of this study therefore was to assess the prevalence and determinants of suicide risk among adults with epilepsy (AWE) in Kaduna, Nigeria.Method
We administered the suicidality module of the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview, the three-item Oslo Social Support Scale and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale to 170 consecutive AWE attending the outpatient clinic of Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Kaduna, between January and June 2011 to determine the prevalence of suicide risk, the level of social support and the psychological symptoms, respectively. We also recorded the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of the subjects.Results
There are 99 males and 71 females. The subject’s mean age was 28.7±12.1 years. The prevalence of suicide risk was 20.0%. Short seizure-free periods (χ2= 4.658, P= .031), previous suicide attempts (χ2= 12.216, P< .001), anxiety symptoms (χ2= 5.075, P= .024) and depressive symptoms (χ2= 5.093, P= .016) were significantly associated with suicidal tendencies. However, after a logistic regression analysis, none of the above variables predicted suicide risk.Conclusion
Suicide risk is common among AWE. Poor seizure control, previous suicidal attempts and emotional distress are associated factors. 相似文献9.

Objective
This study examined if associations between body mass index (BMI) and mental and physical health were independent of genetic and familial factors.Method
Data from 2831 twins (66% female) were used in an epidemiological co-twin control design with measures of BMI and mental and physical health outcomes. Generalized estimating equation regressions assessed relationships between BMI and health outcomes controlling for interdependency among twins and demographics. Within-pair regression analyses examined the association of BMI with health outcomes controlling for genetic and familial influences.Results
Adjusted analyses with individual twins found associations in women between BMI and perceived stress (P= .01) and depression (P= .002), and the link between BMI and depression (P= .03) was significant in men. All physical health outcomes were significantly related to BMI. Once genetic and familial factors were taken into account, mental health outcomes were no longer significantly associated with BMI. BMI in women remained related to ratings of physical health (P= .01) and body pain (P= .004), independent of genetic and familial influences.Conclusion
These findings suggest that genetic and familial factors may account for the relationship between increased weight and poor mental health. 相似文献10.
Objective
Optimism has been linked with an array of positive health outcomes at the individual level. However, researchers have not examined how a spouse's optimism might impact an individual's health. We hypothesized that being optimistic (and having an optimistic spouse) would both be associated with better health.Methods
Participants were 3940 adults (1970 couples) from the Health and Retirement Study, a nationally representative panel study of American adults over the age of 50. Participants were tracked for four years and outcomes included: physical functioning, self-rated health, and number of chronic illnesses. We analyzed the dyadic data using the actor–partner interdependence model.Results
After controlling for several psychological and demographic factors, a person's own optimism and their spouse's optimism predicted better self-rated health and physical functioning (bs = .08–.25, ps < .01). More optimistic people also reported better physical functioning (b = −.11, p < .01) and fewer chronic illnesses (b = −.01, p < .05) over time. Further, having an optimistic spouse uniquely predicted better physical functioning (b = − .09, p < .01) and fewer chronic illnesses (b = − .01, p < .05) over time. The strength of the relationship between optimism and health did not diminish over time.Conclusions
Being optimistic and having an optimistic spouse were both associated with better health. Examining partner effects is important because such analyses reveal the unique role that spouses play in promoting health. These findings may have important implications for future health interventions. 相似文献11.
Introduction
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors are associated with total fibrinogen concentration and/or altered clot structure. It is however, unclear whether such associations with clot structure are ascribed to fibrinogen concentration or other independent mechanisms. We aimed to determine whether CVD risk factors associated with increased total and/or γ’ fibrinogen concentration, were also associated with altered fibrin clot properties and secondly whether such associations were due to the fibrinogen concentration or through independent associations.Materials and methods
In a plasma setting CVD risk factors (including total and γ’ fibrinogen concentration) were cross-sectionally analysed in 2010 apparently healthy black South African participants. Kinetics of clot formation (lag time, slope and maximum absorbance) as well as clot lysis times were calculated from turbidity curves.Results
Of the measured CVD risk factors age, metabolic syndrome, C-reactive protein (CRP), high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol and homocysteine were significantly associated with altered fibrin clot properties after adjustment for total and or γ’ fibrinogen concentration. Aging was associated with thicker fibres (p = 0.004) while both metabolic syndrome and low HDL-cholesterol levels were associated with lower rates of lateral aggregation (slope), (p = 0.0004 and p = 0.0009), and the formation of thinner fibres (p = 0.007 and p = 0.0004). Elevated CRP was associated with increased rates of lateral aggregation (p = 0.002) and consequently thicker fibres (p < 0.0001). Hyperhomocysteinemia was associated with increased rates of lateral aggregation (p = 0.0007) without affecting fibre thickness.Conclusion
Final clot structure may contribute to increased CVD risk in vivo through associations with other CVD risk factors independent from total or γ’ fibrinogen concentration. 相似文献12.

Objective
Depression represents a relevant co-morbidity in patients with chronic heart disease and may diminish the overall success for long-term survival after heart transplantation (HTx). This study aimed to assess the prevalence of depression symptoms in long-term HTx survivors, and to compare depressive patients to those without depression with respect to chronic artery vasculopathy (CAV).Methods
A sample of 203 HTx patients, median 11.5 (IQR 7–17) years after transplant, provided detailed data of depression symptoms, and other psychosocial symptoms including anxiety, family support, professional re-integration, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Data were analyzed for an association with CAV.Results
Overall, 14.8% patients (95% CI: 10.2–20.4) showed relevant depression symptoms. No significant differences were seen between non-depressed vs. depressed patients with respect to demographics, clinical variables, and cardiovascular risk factors. Anxiety was prevalent in 9.0% (95% CI: 5.4–13.9) of the sample. Depression symptoms showed impaired HRQoL in the SF-36 physical (P = .012) and psychosocial (P = .0001) components. CAV was prevalent in 34.0% (95% CI: 27.5–41.0), and depression symptoms and CAV were not significantly associated. CAV-patients did not report their physical HRQoL being lower relative to those without CAV (P = .40). Multivariate analysis revealed overweight BMI (OR = 2.20; P = .04), longer time since transplant (OR = 1.10; P = .001), and older age (OR = 1.04; P = .01) being associated with CAV.Conclusion
Depression symptoms are prevalent in long-term survivors after HTx, and psychological impairments decrease patients' perceptions of HRQoL. More research seems necessary to identify the inter-relationship between depression symptoms and CAV, in order to develop targeted interventions to overcome this problem. 相似文献13.
Objective
Theoretical and empirical support for the role of dysfunctional beliefs, safety behaviors, and increased sleep effort in the maintenance of insomnia has begun to accumulate. It is not yet known how these factors predict sleep disturbance and fatigue occurring in the context of anxiety and mood disorders. It was hypothesized that these three insomnia-specific cognitive–behavioral factors would be uniquely associated with insomnia and fatigue among patients with emotional disorders after adjusting for current symptoms of anxiety and depression and trait levels of neuroticism and extraversion.Methods
Outpatients with a current anxiety or mood disorder (N = 63) completed self-report measures including the Dysfunctional Beliefs About Sleep Scale (DBAS), Sleep-Related Safety Behaviors Questionnaire (SRBQ), Glasgow Sleep Effort Scale (GSES), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), NEO Five-Factor Inventory (FFI), and the 21-item Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS). Multivariate path analysis was used to evaluate study hypotheses.Results
SRBQ (B = .60, p < .001, 95% CI [.34, .86]) and GSES (B = .31, p < .01, 95% CI [.07, .55]) were both significantly associated with PSQI. There was a significant interaction between SRBQ and DBAS (B = .25, p < .05, 95% CI [.04, .47]) such that the relationship between safety behaviors and fatigue was strongest among individuals with greater levels of dysfunctional beliefs.Conclusion
Findings are consistent with cognitive behavioral models of insomnia and suggest that sleep-specific factors might be important treatment targets among patients with anxiety and depressive disorders with disturbed sleep. 相似文献14.

Backgrounds
Enoxaparin, low-molecular-weight heparin, has become a routine thromboprophylaxis in general surgery.Study design
A retrospective cohort study was performed in 281 patients who underwent hepatic resections for liver cancers from 2011 to 2013. These patients were divided into two groups; an enoxaparin (-) group (n = 228) and an enoxaparin (+) group (n = 53). Short-term surgical results including venous thromboembolism (VTE) and portal vein thrombosis (PVT) were compared.Results
In the enoxaparin (+) group, the patients’ age (65 vs. 69 years; p = 0.01) and BMI (22.9 vs. 24.4; p < 0.01) were significantly higher. According to the symptomatic VTE, symptomatic pulmonary embolism occurred in one patient (0.4%) in the enoxaparin (-) group, but the complication rate was not significantly different (p = 0.63). The complication rate of PVT was significantly lower in the enoxaparin (+) group (10 vs. 2%; p = 0.04). The independent risk factors for PVT were an operation time ≥ 300 minutes (Odds ratio 6.66) and non-treatment with enoxaparin (Odds ratio 2.49).Conclusions
Postoperative anticoagulant therapy with enoxaparin could prevent PVT in patients who underwent hepatic resection for liver cancers. 相似文献15.

Introduction
Demonstrating artery occlusion in ischaemic stroke has gained importance due to the increasing availability of endovascular therapies. This study evaluates the frequency of artery occlusion, its associated factors, and complications following the use of CT-angiography in acute stroke.Methods
We retrospectively analysed a cohort of patients who suffered acute ischaemic stroke between July and-December 2011.Results
We included 157 patients (mean age, 74 ± 11; mean NIHSS score, 5 [2-13]). Of that total, 56.7% of the patients were admitted to hospital during the first 8 hours. CT-angiography was performed in 71 cases (45.2%); arterial large-vessel occlusion was detected in 37 (52.1%) of these cases, and the most frequent site was M1 (40%). Univariate analysis showed that the NIHSS score (17 vs 7, P < .001) and atrial fibrillation (64% vs 32%, P = .006) were associated with artery occlusion. A logistic regression analysis was performed subsequently, confirming these associations. There were no cases of contrast-induced nephropathy. Door-to-needle time for intravenous thrombolysis was 61.2 ± 24.5 minutes in patients who underwent CT-angiography, and 53.5 ± 34.3 minutes in those who did not (P = .495).Conclusions
Arterial occlusions are seen in 23.6% of patients, especially in those who are admitted during the first few hours. NIHSS score serves as a useful predictive factor. 相似文献16.
Objectives
To determine nationally representative estimates of the prevalence of depressive symptoms and factors associated with treatment among those with moderate to severe symptoms.Methods
A cross-sectional, retrospective analysis of adults age ≥ 18 years in the 2005–2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data who responded to the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) was conducted (n= 13,320). Depressive symptoms and severity were defined by PHQ-9 scores. Depression treatment was defined as either receiving antidepressants or seeing a mental health professional. Multivariable logistic regression analyses using population weights identified factors associated with having depressive symptoms and receipt of any treatment.Results
The prevalence of depressive symptoms increased from 20.92% to 25.66% over 6 years. Among patients with moderate to severe depression, 38.66% received treatment. Multivariable analyses found that being female, other Hispanic, younger age, having certain chronic comorbidities or previous hospitalization, no health insurance and in poverty status were associated with having depressive symptoms (P< .05). Among patients with moderate to severe depression, being female, white, younger age, having comorbidities (arthritis and hypertension) or previous hospitalization were associated with receipt of treatment (P< .05).Conclusions
The prevalence of depressive symptoms is high, and only a small portion of patients with moderate to severe depression received treatments. Treatment disparities exist and need improvement. 相似文献17.

Background
Optimism and cynical hostility independently predict morbidity and mortality in Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) participants and are associated with current smoking. However, their association with smoking cessation in older women is unknown.Purpose
The purpose of this study is to test whether optimism (positive future expectations) or cynical hostility (mistrust of others) predicts smoking cessation in older women.Methods
Self-reported smoking status was assessed at years 1, 3, and 6 after study entry for WHI baseline smokers who were not missing optimism or cynical hostility scores (n = 10,242). Questionnaires at study entry assessed optimism (Life Orientation Test-Revised) and cynical hostility (Cook-Medley, cynical hostility subscale). Generalized linear mixed models adjusted for sociodemographics, lifestyle factors, and medical and psychosocial characteristics including depressive symptoms.Results
After full covariate adjustment, optimism was not related to smoking cessation. Each 1-point increase in baseline cynical hostility score was associated with 5% lower odds of cessation over 6 years (OR = 0.95, CI = 0.92–0.98, p = 0.0017).Conclusions
In aging postmenopausal women, greater cynical hostility predicts lower smoking cessation over time. Future studies should examine whether individuals with this trait may benefit from more intensive cessation resources or whether attempting to mitigate cynical hostility itself may aid smoking cessation.18.
Objective
This study examined sex differences and eating disorder risk among psychiatric conditions, compulsive behaviors (i.e., gambling, suicide thoughts and attempts) and substance use in a nationally representative sample.Method
Data from participants of the Canadian Community Health Survey Cycle 1.2 who completed the Eating Attitudes Test (n= 5116) were analyzed. Sex differences were compared among psychiatric comorbidities according to eating disorder risk, binging, vomiting and dieting behavior. Poisson regression analysis provided prevalence ratios (PRs) of disordered eating adjusting for age, marital status, income, body mass index and recent distress.Results
Pronounced sex differences were associated with eating disorder risk (PRs 4.89–11.04; all P values < .0001). Findings of particular interest included significantly higher PRs for eating disorder risk in males associated with gambling (PR 5.07, P< .0001) and for females associated with steroid and inhalant use as well as suicide thoughts and attempts (PRs 5.40–5.48, all P values < .0001).Discussion
The findings from this detailed exploration of sex differences and eating disorder risk among psychiatric conditions, compulsive behaviors and substance use suggest that problem gambling, the use of inhalants and steroids and suicidal ideation in relationship to eating disorder risk warrant further investigation. 相似文献19.
