Prepartal Stress, Prepartal and Postpartal Hair Glucocorticoid Concentrations, and Symptoms of Postpartum Depression 3 Days and 12 Weeks After Delivery by Dena Sadeghi-Bahmani, Serge Brand, Gunther Meinlschmidt, Marion Tegethoff, Jennifer Kurath, Nicole Bürki, Irene Hösli, Thorsten Mikoteit

“…Results suggest that 1) both prepartal stress and the suppression of HPA-AA appear to be involved in the development of PPD; 2) hair steroid analysis can be used to predict PPD; and 3) women with prepartal stressful life events may benefit from timely support and relief to decrease their risk of developing PPD.…”

Stress-dependent creep behavior of a low-cost Re-free nickel-based single crystal superalloy at 980 °C by Yuting Gao, Jiasheng Dong, Langhong Lou

“…A study was conducted on creep behavior of a Re-free nickel-based SX superalloy at 980 °C under various stresses (163∼248 MPa). The results showed that when stress was reduced from 248 MPa to 163 MPa, creep life significantly extended from 173 h to 1950 h, which was 10 times higher, proving strong stress-dependent creep resistance. …”

Transcriptional changes across tissue and time provide molecular insights into a therapeutic window of opportunity following traumatic stress exposure by Lauren A. McKibben, Meghna Iyer, Ying Zhao, Roxana Florea, Sophia Kuhl-Chimera, Ishani Deliwala, Yue Pan, Erica M. Branham, Sandrine M. Géranton, Samuel A. McLean, Sarah D. Linnstaedt

“…Adult rats were exposed to a TSE model, single prolonged stress (SPS). Then, eight tissues (hypothalamus, left and right hippocampus, amygdala, dorsal root ganglia, spinal cord, heart, and muscle) were isolated from these animals at 2, 24, and 72 h after SPS and in unexposed controls (n = 6 per group). mRNA expression from deep sequencing was used to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs), biological pathways enriched over time, and predicted upstream regulators. …”

Comprehensive identification, stress responses and protein-protein interactions of the ferredoxin gene family in the fast-growing tree species Paulownia fortunei by Xin Mao, Haibo Yang, Mengmeng Ji, Pingluo Xu, Guoqiang Fan

“…Interaction predictions, Y2H, and bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) experiments verified direct interactions between the major photosynthetic ferredoxin PfFd2 and ferredoxin-NADP + reductase (FNR) as well as sulfite reductase (SIR) in Paulownia fortunei, suggesting that PfFd2 may play a significant role in photosynthetic electron transport and sulfur metabolism in Paulownia fortunei, implying its potential association with the fast-growing characteristics of Paulownia fortunei and its influence on normal growth and metabolism. …”

Effects of voandzou (Vigna subterranea) and spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) enriched biscuits intake on nutritional and stress parameters in young wistar rats by Majesté Mbiada Pahane, Dimitry Yannick Mang, Alain Paul Nanssou Kouteu, Diane Armelle Djouka Ngnang, Danielle Ange Dieukep, Siberbine Sofeu Kamdom, Ashu Michael Agbor, Nicolas Yanou Njintang

“…Like spirulina powder (4 %), the incorporation of voandzou flour (30 and 26 %) significantly (p < 0.05) increased protein, ash and total phenolic compound content (2.21 to 3.33 mg/100 g DM). Reductions of 3.46 % to 9.75 % in carbohydrates were noted with wheat substitution. …”

A study on the effects of addiction level, stress, and social support of drug relapse patients on changes in motivation of quiting substance misuse behaviors by Shiqi Liu, Tingran Zhang, Yi Yang, Kun Wang, Jiong Luo

“…Results 1) The standardized regression coefficient β indicates that among the background factors affecting the Changes In MQSMB, gender is the most important (β = 0.142*), marriage is the second most important (β = -0.127*), and active addiction cessation experience is the smallest (β = 0.117*); 2) Stepwise regression analysis showed that personal background, addiction level, social support, and perceived stress had predictive powers of 14.2%, 9.1%, 5.5%, and 7.7%, respectively, for changes in MQSMB; 3) Social support can significantly reduce the addiction level and stress perception of drug addicts. …”
