The Relationship

Abstract Objective: Previous studies have shown that the hope of breast cancer survivors is related to the social relational quality, and personality is related to acceptance of disability. However, research is still limited about the underlying potential psychological mechanisms of various psycho-social factors for this population. This study aims to investigate the impact of breast cancer survivors' hope and type C personality on social relational quality and acceptance of disability, and to evaluate the mediating effect of medical coping styles.Methods: A total of 150 breast cancer survivors during chemotherapy were recruited from Harbin, China completed a self-reported questionnaire containing the personal information questionnaire, Herth hope index (HHI), Type C behavior scale, Medical coping modes questionnaire (MCMQ), Social relationship quality scale (SRQS) and acceptance of disability scale (ADS). Results: Results showed that the proposed model fitted the data very well (c2=8.357, df=7, p=0.302, c2/df=1.194, GFI=0.981, CFI=0.991, TLI=0.982, RMSEA=0.037). Further analyses revealed that, Confrontation mediated the relationship between hope and social relationship quality (indirect effect=0.034, BC 95%CI=0.001~0.106), and acceptance-Resignation mediated the relationship between type C personality and acceptance of disability (indirect effect=-0.379, BC 95%CI=-0.637~-0.145).Conclusions: Confrontation and acceptance-Resignation played critical roles in the relationship between hope, type C personality and social relational quality, the acceptance of disability. Healthcare practitioners should be aware of the coping strategies of breast cancer survivors, and psycho-social interventions and supportive care should focus on these cognitive and emotional processes to improve social relational quality and acceptance of disability for this population.

The Relationship

Background and Aim: Patients with depression disorders impose annually huge costs on their families and society. With a meticulous glance to the literature, lack of sufficient studies regarding Alexithymia and Types C and D Personalities are obvious. Thus, the aim of current study is investigation the relationship of Alexithymia with Types C and D Personalities in depressed individuals. Materials and Method: Current study through descriptive-correlation analysis examines the relationship between the mentioned variables on a sample of 150 patients. This sample was selected via simple random sampling method among all the depressed people in city of Tehran (as the statistical population) who in years 2012-2013 had visited treatment and diagnostic centers. The sample patients were asked to answer Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) (1974), Denollet Type D Personality Questionnaire (1998), Torento-Alexithymia Scale 20 (TAS-20) (Bagby, Parker & Taylor, 1994). The obtained data were analyzed using bivariate regression analysis and Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). Results: Findings demonstrated significant relationship between Alexithymia and Type C personality, but there was not significant relationship between Alexithymia and D personality type. In addition, there was no significant difference in terms of personality types between two genders, but women acquired higher score in Alexithymia and Type C personality than men. Conclusion: With respect to research results, close relationship between mood and personality was noticed and women had high vulnerability comparing to men. On this basis, it is necessary for clinicians to implement specific therapy measures to decrease Alexithymia in women.

Several years ago Karasaki (1) reported the production of type C virus particles by Novikoff ascites hepatocarcinoma cells. More recently, Weinstein (2) has reported the presence of type C virus particles in cell cultures derived from transplantable and primary hepatocellular carcinomas. To date, the biological function of these virus and their significance in chemically induced hepatocarcinogenesis are unknown. The present studies were initiated to determine a possible role for type C virus particles in chemically induced hepatocarcinogenesis. This communication describes results of studies on the biological and surface properties of type C virus associated with Novikoff hepatocarcinoma cells.Ecotropic and xenotropic murine leukemia virus (MuLV) activity in ascitic fluid of Novikoff tumor-bearing rats was assayed in murine sarcoma virus transformed S+L- mouse cells and S+L- mink cells, respectively. The presence of sarcoma virus activity was assayed in non-virus-producing normal rat kidney (NRK) cells. Ferritin conjugates of concanavalin A (Fer-Con wheat germ agglutinin (Fer-WGA), and Ricinus communis agglutinins I and II (Fer-RCAI and Fer-RCAII) were used to probe the structure and topography of saccharide determinants present on the viral envelope.

Despite extensive studies, the correlation between the morphology and pathogenicity of murine leukemia viruses (MLV) has not yet been clarified. The virus particles found in the plasma of leukemic mice belong to 2 distinct groups, 1 or 2% of them being enveloped A particles and the vast majority being of type C. It is generally believed that these 2 types of particles represent different phases in the development of the same virus. Particles of type A have been thought to be an earlier form of type C particles. One of the tissue culture lines established from Friend leukemia solid tumors has provided the material for the present study. The supernatant fluid of the line designated C-1A contains an almost pure population of A particles as illustrated in Figure 1. The ratio is, therefore, the reverse of what is unvariably observed in the plasma of leukemic mice where C particles predominate.
