Application of WeChat-based cognitive behavioural stress management for early-stage cervical cancer patients: a randomised controlled study by Qing Hao, Lan Feng, Dandan Chen, Xia Fan, Lei Wei, Zhaojun Cui, Jing Zhang, Lin Wang, Dan Zhang, Xinxin Zhan, Wenping Yang

“…Background This randomised controlled study was aimed at investigating the effects of WeChat-based cognitive behavioural stress management (WB-CBSM) on the mental health of patients with early-stage cervical cancer treated with surgical resection.Methods A total of 184 patients with early-stage cervical cancer were randomised to receive either WB-CBSM (n = 92) or normal care (NC) (n = 92) for 8 weeks.Results Compared with the NC group, the WB-CBSM group exhibited reduced Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)–anxiety scores at months (M)1 (t = 2.022, P = 0.045), M3 (t = 2.575, P = 0.011), and M6 (t = 2.709, P = 0.007); anxiety rates at M3 (χ2 = 4.834, P = 0.028) and M6 (χ2 = 5.182, P = 0.023); HADS–depression scores at M3 (t = 2.069, P = 0.040) and M6 (t = 2.449, P = 0.015); and depression rates at M6 (χ2 = 4.268, P = 0.039). …”

Culturing of Giardia lamblia under microaerobic conditions can impact metronidazole susceptibility by inducing increased expression of antioxidant enzymes by Kateryna Starynets, Ana Paunkov, Anja Wagner, Klaus Kratochwill, Christian Klotz, David Leitsch

“…Further experiments showed that 713 also grows much faster under microaerobic conditions than WB C6. Reduced susceptibility to metronidazole under microaerobic conditions was also observed in a clinical isolate from a refractory giardiasis case.Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis showed that microaerobic growth was accompanied by the upregulation of superoxide reductase, a pyridoxamine 5′-phosphate oxidase putative domain-containing protein, and a TlpA-like protein in 713 but not in WB C6. …”
