<p>Resumen:</p><p>El presente estudio tuvo como propósito identificar el efecto de la intervención en Terapia de Aceptación y Compromiso (ACT) sobre la resistencia aeróbica y conducta de evitación experiencial en un grupo de marchistas de Bogotá. Se utilizó un diseño pretest-postest con grupo control. La muestra estuvo compuesta por diez marchistas de ambos sexos, con un promedio de edad de 16.70 y un rango entre los 15 y 20 años de edad, pertenecientes a la Liga de Atletismo de Bogotá. Se eligieron por conveniencia. Se emplearon como instrumentos de medición el test de los 3000 m y el Cuestionario de Aceptación Acción (AAQ). La intervención en ACT se realizó en cuatro sesiones en las que se desarrollaron los contenidos definidos por los autores de la intervención (Wilson y Luciano, 2002). Para el análisis de los datos, se empleó estadística no paramétrica a través de la prueba U de Mann-Whitney. Los resultados señalan una mayor resistencia aeróbica en la prueba de los 3000 m en el postest del grupo experimental con respecto al grupo control, así como una mayor aceptación de los eventos internos negativos.</p><p> </p><p>Abstract:</p><p>The purpose of the present study was to identify the effect of an Acceptance and Commitment intervention Therapy (ACT) on aerobic endurance and experiential avoidance behavior of a group of walkers in Bogota. This study used a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The sample consisted of ten walkers of either sex, with an average age of 16.70 years, and a range between 15 and 20 years old, belonging to the Bogotá Athletics League. The participants were chosen as a convenience sample. The instruments used were the 3000-meter test and the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (AAQ). The ACT intervention was conducted in four sessions, where they developed the contents defined by the authors of this intervention (Wilson and Luciano, 2002). Non-parametric statistics were used for data analysis, by means of the Mann-Whitney U. The posttest results indicate a greater aerobic resistance in the 3000-meter test for the test group in comparison to the control group. Likewise the experimental group shows a greater acceptance for negative internal events.</p>

Background and Aim: Children's hearing loss affects not only their speech and language dev­elopment but also their mothers’ mental health. This study aimed to determine the effect of acc­eptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on the intolerance of uncertainty and experiential avoi­dance of mothers with hearing-impaired or deaf children. Methods: This is a quasi-experimental study with the pretest-posttest design with a control group. The study population comprised all mot­hers of hearing-impaired or deaf children (2−6 years old) in Tabriz City, Iran. Using a purpo­sive sampling method, 32 mothers of hearing-impaired or deaf children were selected and then randomly assigned to control and experimental groups (each group, 16 subjects). The experim­ental group was treated with ACT in 8 sessions of 1.5 hours long in two weeks. The study data were collected by the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II (AAQ-II) and Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale (IUS). Results: The results showed that ACT signi­ficantly increased scores on the AAQ-II and IUS in the experimental group compared to the control group (p < 0.001). Conclusion: ACT might be an efficient way to decrease intolerance of uncertainty and avoid­ance of experience in the mothers of hearing-impaired and deaf children. Also, therapists can use this approach for improving the intolerance of uncertainty and experiential avoidance in mothers of hearing-impaired or deaf children in rehabilitation centers.

The paper presents the results of a research on the impact of products based on natural zeolite on the production results of fattening lambs. The experiment involved two groups of lambs (the control - C and experimental - E groups), each consisting of 15 heads, for a period of 90 days. The meal was made from sheep milk, feed mixtures for fattening lambs and meadow hay. The test group lambs, unlike the ones from the control group, were given mixtures based on natural zeolite. Min-a-Zel S mixture (in the form of 25% composite) was fed to lambs from birth till their 14th day of life, directly into the mouth, once a day (before the morning feed), in the amount of 10 ml. Min-a-Zel Plus was given to them from their 15th day of life, together with the feed mixture (0.5%). Feeding was at will. The average weight of lambs at the end of the experiment, in accordance with the sequence of treatments (C:E) was 24.40:26.94 kg (P <0.01). Daily weight gain of lambs, during the experiment, was 229:256 g and in the experimental group it was by 27g or 11.79% higher (P <0.01). The test group lambs had a better utilization of dry matter, protein and energy, which justifies the use of products based on natural zeolite in fattening lambs.

Разработан биопрепарат Prevention-N-С и дано научно-практическое обоснование целесообразности его применения в сопоставлении с ранее апробированным препаратом PS-7 для реализации биоресурсного потенциала продуктивных качеств кур родительского стада бройлеров кросса Hubbard F-15 за счет активизации неспецифической резистентности организма. Апробированные биопрепараты повышают яйценоскость кур, что проявляется в интенсивном ее нарастании в начальный период продуктивности и более раннем достижении пика яйценоскости. Интенсивность яйценоскости кур 1-й (56,790,70) и 2-й (57,610,79) опытных групп родительского стада бройлеров оказалась выше по сравнению с контролем (54,030,67) на 2,76 и 3,58 соответственно (Р0,05-0,01). Установлено, что куры-несушки второй опытной группы принесли за 70 недель 183,52,06 штук инкубационных яиц, что на 8,97 выше соответствующего показателя в контрольной группе (168,42,25 штук) и на 3,03 больше, чем в 1-й опытной группе (178,12,53 штук). Количество инкубационных яиц кур родительского стада бройлеров первой опытной группы оказалось выше на 5,76, чем в контроле. Оплодотворенность яиц в 1-й и 2-й опытных группах была выше соответственно на 1,7 и 2,2, чем в контрольной группе. По результатам инкубации выводимость яиц в 1-й и 2-й опытных группах достоверно превышала контрольную группу на 4,8 и 5,4 соответственно. Лучшие результаты по выводу цыплят получены в 1-й и 2-й опытных группах 78,3 и 79,5 соответственно, и намного ниже в контрольной группе 77,3.Biological preparation Prevention-N-C has been developed and scientific and practical justification of its expediency in comparison with previously tested preparation PS-7 for realization of biological resource potential of productive qualities of hens of parent herd of Hubbard F-15 cross broilers due to activation of non-specific resistance of organism. Tested biopreparations increase the egg content of chickens, which manifests itself in its intense growth during the initial period of productivity and earlier reaching the peak of egg content. The egg intensity of chickens 1st (56.79 0.70) and 2nd (57.61 0.79) of the test groups of the parent broiler herd was higher compared to the control (54.03 0.67) by 2.76 and 3.58, respectively (P 0.05-0.01). It was found that the carrying chickens of the second experimental group brought 183.5 2.06 pieces of incubation eggs in 70 weeks, which is 8.97 higher than the corresponding indicator in the control group (168.4 2.25 pieces) and 3.03 more than in 1 experimental group (178.1 2.53 pieces). The number of incubation eggs of the parent broiler herd of the first test group was 5.76 higher than in the control. The fertilization of eggs in the 1st and 2nd test groups was 1.7 and 2.2 higher, respectively, than in the control group. According to the results of incubation, egg output in the 1st and 2nd test groups significantly exceeded the control group by 4.8 and 5.4, respectively. The best results on chicken withdrawal were obtained in the 1st and 2nd test groups - 78.3 and 79.5, respectively, and much lower in the control group - 77.3.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on depressive symptoms in physically disabled persons. Design: Randomized controlled trial. Setting: State welfare organization in Kamyaran, Kurdistan, Iran. Participants: Fifty-two physically disabled participants with a primary diagnosis of depression were randomly assigned to either ACT or control groups. Interventions: Participants in the ACT group ( n = 23) received eight weekly 90-minute group sessions based on standard ACT protocol for depression. Participants in the control group ( n = 29) received psychoeducation regarding depression. Main measures: Measures were recorded at baseline, eight weeks (end of treatment), and 16 weeks (follow-up). The outcomes were the change in the depressive symptoms, measured by Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), psychological flexibility, emotion regulation, and psychological well-being measured by Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II (AAQ-II), Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), and Scales of Psychological Well-Being (SPWB), respectively. Results: After eight weeks, significant changes in depressive symptoms was observed in the experimental group (ACT –10.39 ± 0.79 vs control 0.66 ± 0.68, P < 0.001). Compared to the control group, the experimental group also showed significant improvement in psychological flexibility (ACT 8.13 ± 0.52 vs control –0.03 ± 0.51, P < 0.001), adaptive emotion regulation strategies (ACT 10.74 ± 0.62 vs control 0.03 ± 1.03, P < 0.001), and psychological well-being (ACT 66.95 ± 4.01 vs control –1.90 ± 1.04, P < 0.001). Conclusion: Compared with control group, ACT significantly reduced the participants’ depression, and changed psychological flexibility, emotion regulation, and psychological well-being in persons with physical disability.

Background. The aims of this study were to determine whether a modified Qigong breathing exercise can reduce the sense of hunger and identify possible mechanisms. Methods. The results from the test group, which performed the exercise, are compared with the control group, which performed deep breathing. Intestinal pressure measurements, stomach pH monitoring, and participant surveys were used for assessment. Results. Stomach pH was increased by 3 (0.2) and intestinal pressure was reduced by 12 (0.5) mm Hg in the experimental group and did not change significantly in the control group. The study provides strong evidence that the exercise can significantly reduce, or even suppress the sense of hunger on an empty stomach. Conclusion. This breathing exercise provides comfort in different circumstances, such as lack of regular meals, limited volume or caloric diet, and even during temporary complete absence of food in therapeutic fasting.

e18018 Background: This randomized controlled prospective study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of using PEG-rhG-CSF to prevent neutropenia during concurrent chemoradiotherapy of paclitaxel and cisplatin (TP) regimen for cervical cancer. Methods: Patients who met the eligibility criteria were divided into two groups according to the randomized principle of 2:1: the experimental group (patients used 6 mg PEG-rhG-CSF prophylactically after chemotherapy) and the control group (patients did not use PEG-rhG-CSF for prevention and were given 5 ug / kg rhG-CSF when ANC < 1✕109). TP combination regimen was used for concurrent chemotherapy, specifically as follows: paclitaxel 150mg / m2 (day 1), cisplatin 35mg / m2 (day 1-2), repeated every three weeks. The PTV dose was 45 Gy in 1.8 Gy daily fractions, with five fractions per week. SPSS 25.0 software was used for statistical analysis of the data, t-test was used for measurement data, and χ2 test Fisher exact test was used for enumeration data. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: As of September 2019, 30 patients were enrolled into this study, including 18 in the experimental group and 12 in the control group. One of the 18 patients in the test group (5.6%) had a Grade 3/4 neutropenia. Ten of the 12 patients in the control group (83.3%) developed Grade 3/4 neutropenia. The incidence of Grade 3/4 neutropenia in the two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.001, Table 1). The incidence of FN was 5.6% in the experimental group and 8.3% in the control group (P = 1.000). The incidence of delayed chemotherapy course was 11.1% in the experimental group and 58.3% in the control group (P = 0.013). The incidence of delayed chemotherapy course in the two groups was statistically significant (Table 1). As shown in Figure 4, the experimental group had a completion time of radiotherapy for 46.7 days, while the control group had 49.0 days (P = 0.278). Conclusions: Although the results of bone marrow function and overall survival are still to be obtained, it can be initially seen from the intermediate-term data that the use of PEG-rhG-CSF primary prevention reduced the granulocytopenia and the delay of the chemotherapy course during the concurrent chemoradiotherapy TP regimen for cervical cancer, which has the value of further completing this study.

BACKGROUND Background: Postoperative Fatigue Syndrome (POFS) occurs in almost every patient who has undergone major surgery. With the ever-increasing attention of people on rehabilitation treatment, POFS has received unprecedented attention. OBJECTIVE Objective: Based on modern data analysis, acupuncture treatment is optimized intelligently, and its efficacy in breast cancer patients with POFS is explored. METHODS Methods: In this study, the acupuncture and moxibustion in traditional Chinese medicine were combined to optimize the formation of warm acupuncture therapy, and then the research on warm acupuncture was optimized using modern data analysis methods. At first, the statistics of personal information and operation of 60 patients with breast cancer was carried out. The statistical results were analyzed by rank sum test and independent sample T test. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Brief Profile Of Mood State (BPOMS), and Identity-Consequence Fatigue Scale (ICFS) were utilized to analyze the fatigue degree, mental state, and fatigue state of the patients. RESULTS Results: There was no significant difference in age (U = 473.34, P = 0.583) and education level (U = 479.20, P = 0.613) between the experimental group and the control group (P > 0.05), which were comparable. Compared with the control group, the VAS values of the experimental group on the 3rd day (P = 043), 7th day (P = 0.039), and 14th day (P = 0.030) of postoperative treatment were significantly reduced, with significant differences (P < 0.05). In the experimental group, the BPOMS values on the 3rd day (P = 0.042), 7th day (P = 0.035), and 14th day (P = 0.031) of postoperative treatment were significantly reduced, with significant differences (P < 0.05). The ICFS values of the experimental group on the 3rd day (P = 046), 7th day (P = 0.037), and 14th day (P = 0.031) of postoperative treatment were significantly reduced, with significant differences (P < 0.05). The variance of transferrin levels was uniform on the 7th day after operation (F = 0.679, P = 0.433 > 0.005), with a significant difference (T = -2.985, P = 0.008 < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Conclusions: Warm acupuncture therapy could effectively improve the POFS of breast cancer patients, which was a safe and effective treatment. CLINICALTRIAL
