Abstract. Growth retardation is a major manifestation of Turner syndrome (TS). Since plasma growth hormone and somatomedin-C/insulin-like growth factor I (SM-C/IGF-I) levels are generally normal, growth failure has been ascribed to peripheral defects in SM-C/IGF-I receptors or action. We have measured the binding of [125I]SM-C/IGF-I to cultured fibroblast monolayers derived from patients with Turner syndrome, and have evaluated SM-C/IGF-I stimulation of both [3H]thymidine incorporation and cell replication. When compared to fibroblasts from normal adults, newborns, and agematched children, no significant differences were observed in specific binding of [125I]SM-C/IGF-I to fibroblast monolayers, and displacement curves demonstrated similar receptor affinities for all groups. Similarly, equivalent SM-C/IGF-I stimulation of [3H]thymidine incorporation was seen in both Turner and control fibroblasts. In the absence of serum, SM-C/IGF-I, at a concentration of 10–25 ng/ml, stimulated thymidine incorporation 3.7–11.8-fold in Turner fibroblasts and 1.9–9.8-fold in control cells. In combination with 1.0% human hypopituitary serum (HHS), SM-C/IGF-I stimulated thymidine incorporation 20–70-fold in all cell lines. Cell replication in both TS and control cells was increased 90% by the combination of SM-C/IGF-I + 0.5% HHS, and 140% by SM-C/IGF-I + 0.5% HHS + dexamethasone. We conclude that TS fibroblasts have normal SM-C/IGF-I receptors and sensitivity, and are capable of enhanced DNA synthesis and replication following SM-C/IGF-I stimulation.

There are few studies in which the focus is on cognitive determinants of artwork bidding. Using a micro approach, we explored factors that may influence bidders' offering from a psychological perspective. The 157 participants rated 25 paintings on the price they were willing to offer for works by famous Chinese artists executed in the traditional Chinese style and variants of the same works by a modern Chinese artist working in adaptations of the style of famous Western artists. Results showed that for both the Chinese and Western-style paintings in 3 price anchoring and 3 price nonanchoring conditions, 3 factors affected the bidding for the artworks: positive attraction, artistic quality, and cognitive stimulation. Of these factors positive attraction and artistic quality were the primary influences. In each condition, positive attraction was always the positive predictor of the bidders' offering, emphasizing the importance of the artwork's aesthetic value. In contrast, artistic quality deterred participants from bidding. In addition, whether or not there was a reference-point price made a difference in the traditional Chinese group of artworks. Bidders wished to offer a higher price only if the price had been high for the previous example of this artist's work that had sold.

The Cognitive Stimulation and Emotional Intelligence for Seniors Program (PECI-PM), combines cognitive stimulation with intervention and stimulation of aspects related to emotional intelligence. The purpose of this study was to analyze the emotional intelligence results of the first stage of PECI-PM implementation. A sample of 28 program users who had completed 20 sessions and participated in the two evaluations (pre-post) was employed for this. Emotional Intelligence was evaluated before and after intervention using the Inventario Breve de Inteligencia Emocional para Mayores [Brief Emotional Intelligence Inventory for Senior Citizens] (EQ-i-M20). After intervention with the PECI-PM, improvement was observed in most of the emotional intelligence dimensions (Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, Adaptability and Mood). In the Stress Management dimension, there was no change in scores after intervention, which leads us to reconsider the weight of this emotional intelligence dimension in the older population. On the other hand, the role of the Interpersonal dimension, which correlates significantly with other emotional intelligence factors (Intrapersonal and Adaptability) in older people, should be emphasized.

The study was conducted in 2019 over a period of 8 months in Ilfov County. The study included 148 participants (N = 148). The control group (GC) consists of 74 children, 34 boys and 40 girls. Of the 74 children, 17 are 4 years old, 22 are 5 years old and 35 are 6 years old. The experimental group (GE) consists of 74 children, 32 boys and 42 girls. Of the 74 children, 21 are 4 years old, 21 are 5 years old and 32 are 6 years old. The study aimed to examine the impact of cognitive stimulation of preschoolers in workshops with group and individual sessions on cognitive development. The results show the positive impact of the methods used on the cognitive development of preschoolers. The cognitive stimulation program proposes an innovative therapeutic environment, motivating and compatible with the reality of each child. The activities of stimulating the cognitive abilities of the participants in the experimental group included the Feuerstein working method, which proved promising preliminary results, which determines us to expand our studies in the future. The preschoolers in the control group received only the stimulation related to the educational activities and programs.
