And two hub gene modules were found, in which six hub genes including 
  , and 
  were significantly related to overall survival and were closely correlated with some certain TIICs in the validation of TIMER.
 
  In this study, four prognostic TIICs and six hub genes were found to be closely related to EEA. These findings provided new potential targets for EEA immunotherapy.

This research evaluated the effect of methyl jasmonate-MeJA and salicylic acid-SA as elicitors on the production of metabolites in cell suspensions of P. cumanense.  https://www.selleckchem.com/ALK.html  The type of elicitor (MeJA or SA), the concentration of elicitor (10 μM and 100 μM), and time of exposition (3, 12, 24 h) on cell suspension were evaluated. Metabolic profiles of intracellular and extracellular extracts were analyzed by UHPLC-DAD and GC-MS. Differential production of metabolites was dependent on the type of elicitor, its concentration, and the time of exposition. Treatments with 100 μM SA were conducted to high production of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (6.3 %), phenol (6.5 %), and (Z)-9-octadecenamide (8.8 %). This is the first report of elicitation on cell suspensions in the Piper genus and contributes to understanding the effect of MeJA and SA on metabolite production in plant cell culture.
  Depression is one of the world's major health problems. Due to its high prevalence, it constitutes the first cause of disability among the Americas, where only a very low percentage of the population receives the adequate evidence-based psychological treatment. Internet-Based Interventions (IBIs) are a great alternative to reduce the treatment gap for mental disorders. Although there are several studies in low-and middle-income countries proving IBIs' feasibility and acceptability, there is still little evidence of the effectiveness in diverse social and cultural contexts such as Latin America.
 
  Two studies will be described Study 1 is focused on the cultural adaptation of a cognitive-behavioral IBI 
  (Botella et al. 2012, 2015) for Ecuadorian population with depression based on the procedure by Salamanca-Sanabria et al. (2018). Study 2 describes the design of a randomized controlled trial to test the preliminary efficacy of the culturally adapted intervention in a Public Health Care setting. A total of 1are context in Ecuador. Results obtained will offer new insights into the viability and effectiveness of digital technologies for the psychological treatment of mental illnesses in developing countries.With the growing demand for internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy (iCBT), this pragmatic factorial (2 × 2 × 2) randomized controlled trial evaluated strategies for facilitating iCBT engagement and outcomes in routine care. Specifically, the benefits to patients and therapists of using homework reflection questionnaires and offering patients twice-weekly therapist support were examined. Patients (n = 632) accepted into iCBT for depression and/or anxiety were randomly assigned to complete homework reflection questionnaires or not (factor 1), receive once- or twice-weekly support (factor 2), and to receive care from therapists employed in one of two settings (iCBT clinic or a community mental health clinic; factor 3). Outcomes were measured at pre-treatment, and 8, 12, and 24-weeks post-enrollment. Therapist time was tracked and a focus group was conducted to examine therapist experiences. No differences in patient outcomes were found between therapists employed in the two settings; as such, these two groups were combined for further analyses. In terms of engagement, homework reflection questionnaires were associated with fewer website log-ins and days accessing iCBT; twice-weekly support was associated with more patient emails sent to therapists. Despite engagement differences, homework reflection questionnaires and twice-weekly support did not significantly impact primary outcomes; all groups showed large improvements in depression and anxiety that were maintained at 24-week follow-up. Therapists perceived a number of benefits and challenges associated with responding to homework reflection questionnaires and offering twice-weekly support; most notably the strategies did not benefit all patients. Twice-weekly support was associated with increased therapist time and organizational challenges. It is concluded that neither completion of homework questionnaires nor offering twice-weekly support significantly improve iCBT in routine care.Web-based mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (eMBCT) has been found effective in decreasing fatigue severity in patients suffering from Chronic Cancer-Related Fatigue (CCRF). In web-based therapy, guidance from a therapist positively affects treatment outcome. So far, less is known about what kind of therapist behaviours contribute to treatment outcome. The present study aimed at 1) identifying therapist behaviours during eMBCT and 2) exploring whether these behaviours were correlated to a decrease in fatigue severity among patients. Qualitative content analyses were performed on 537 feedback e-mails from five therapists sent to 31 patients within a secured portal. Through content analyses, nine therapist behaviours were identified emphatic utterances, probing self-reflection, informing, psychoeducation, task prompting, paraphrasing, task reinforcement, providing group context and alliance bolstering. Among these behaviours task prompting (19%), paraphrasing (16%) and task reinforcement (15%) were the most common. Linear regression analyses showed a significant association between informing and task prompting on the one hand and a decrease in fatigue severity on the other. Multivariate analysis indicated that informing and task prompting jointly explain the decrease in fatigue. These findings underline the importance for therapists to provide patients with sufficient information and to encourage them to do the exercises.
