RESUMEN

Background: In the past, different stress generation studies have used self-report measures comprising different items to assess each category of negative events. Moreover, the validity of these scales has not been adequately investigated. Therefore, we developed a self-report measure dedicated to assessing experiences of negative interpersonal dependent events, negative non-interpersonal dependent events, and negative independent events in university students, which was named the Negative Independent/Dependent Events Scale. Methods: Japanese undergraduate students (N = 247; mean age = 19.18 years, SD = 3.08) responded to the Negative Independent/Dependent Events Scale, which had items selected for adequate content validity. They also responded to self-report measures of depressive symptoms, reassurance-seeking behaviors, inattention, and lack of perseverance. Results: All the negative events subscales had moderate positive correlations with depressive symptoms. In addition, the negative interpersonal dependent events subscale showed a moderate positive correlation with reassurance-seeking behaviors, and the negative non-interpersonal dependent events subscale showed a strong positive correlation with inattention. Furthermore, the negative non-interpersonal dependent events subscale was more strongly correlated with inattention than the other two negative events subscales. In contrast, the negative interpersonal dependent events subscale was more strongly correlated with reassurance-seeking behaviors than with the negative independent events subscale but not more strongly than with the negative non-interpersonal dependent events subscale. Conclusions: These findings indicated the acceptable construct validity of the Negative Independent/Dependent Events Scale. However, further research is necessary to establish the discriminant validity of the negative interpersonal dependent events subscale and the negative non-interpersonal dependent events subscale.

RESUMEN

This study examined the effects of internal working models of attachment on cognition about emotion in facial expressions. Ninety-five university students participated in a survey and an experiment. The results revealed that (a) effects of internal working models of attachment emerged when there were discrepancies between facial expressions and the emotions that should be rated, (b) "anxiety" did not affect the rating scores or reaction times, and (c) participants who scored high in "avoidance" needed more time to judge the absence of emotions in facial expressions. These results indicate that the dimension of "avoidance" affects automatic information processing.

RESUMEN

This study tests the validity of hypotheses about the interpretations of Rorschach father/mother cards by having subjects select the cards. The results showed that regardless of the subject's gender, Card IV is far more often selected as the father card. However Card VII is not more often chosen as the mother card, if anything, the Color Cards are usually selected. The result of a correspondence analysis suggest that a certain combination of father and mother cards is more often selected. When the frequency of card selection is applied to the cluster of cards obtained in the study of Fukui et al (2008), the mother card is predominantly selected from the feminine/maternity-cards cluster. However, the father card was selected equally often from three clusters, indicating variation of the father figure. The results indicate the predominance of Card IV as the father card, and also confirm the lack of individuality with Card VII. Therefore, Card IV fulfills prerequisites for the father card hypothesis, while Card VII does not meet the criteria. The results do not support the validity of the hypothesis about the mother card interpretation.

RESUMEN

Perfectionism is usually reported to have adverse affects on psychological health, but recent multidimensional research indicated that a "tendency to set high personal standards" is weakly correlated with reduced depressiveness. The present study categorized subjects using a cluster analysis with factors closely related to psychological health such as adult attachment styles and perfectionism, and examined each factor's contributions to psychological health. Among subjects with high personal standards, the study found a group with a secure attachment style who are psychologically adaptive and another group with a non-secure attachment style who are maladaptive. The results suggest that setting high personal standards by itself does not promote psychological health, but rather that there is an interaction with other factors such as preoccupation with one's mistakes and doubting one's own actions which also influence psychological health.

RESUMEN

Compounds that bind to microtubules (MTs) and alter their dynamics are highly sought as a result of the clinical success of paclitaxel and docetaxel. The naturally occurring compound (-)-dictyostatin binds to MTs, causes cell cycle arrest in G(2)/M at nanomolar concentrations, and retains antiproliferative activity in paclitaxel-resistant cell lines, making dictyostatin an attractive candidate for development as an antineoplastic agent. In this study, we examined a series of dictyostatin analogs to probe biological and biochemical structure-activity relationships. We used a high-content multiparameter fluorescence-based cellular assay for MT morphology, chromatin condensation, mitotic arrest, and cellular toxicity to identify regions of dictyostatin that were essential for biological activity. Four analogs (6-epi-dictyostatin, 7-epi-dictyostatin, 16-normethyldictyostatin, and 15Z,16-normethyldictyostatin) retained low nanomolar activity in the cell-based assay and were chosen for analyses with isolated tubulin. All four compounds were potent inducers of MT assembly. Equilibrium binding constant (K(i)) determinations using [(14)C]epothilone B, which has a 3-fold higher affinity for the taxoid binding site than paclitaxel, indicated that 6-epi-dictyostatin and 7-epi-dictyostatin displaced [(14)C]epothilone B with K(i) values of 480 and 930 nM, respectively. 16-Normethyldictyostatin and 15Z,16-normethyldictyostatin had reduced affinity (K(i) values of 4.55 and 4.47 muM, respectively), consistent with previous reports showing that C16-normethyldictyostatin loses potency in paclitaxel-resistant cell lines that have a Phe270-to-Val mutation in the taxoid binding site of beta-tubulin. Finally, we developed a set of quantitative structure-activity relationship equations correlating structures with antiproliferative activity. The equations accurately predicted biological activity and will help in the design of future analogs.

RESUMEN

[reaction: see text] A mixture of four stereoisomers whose configurations are encoded by fluorous silyl protecting groups has been prepared and converted over 22 steps to a mixture of protected dictyostatins. Demixing by fluorous HPLC followed by removal of the fluorous protecting groups (detagging) provides dictyostatin and three C6,C7 stereoisomers. Biological evaluation showed that the monoepimers of the natural product retained highly potent activity.

RESUMEN

(-)-Dictyostatin is a sponge-derived, 22-member macrolactone natural product shown to cause cells to accumulate in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle, with changes in intracellular microtubules analogous to those observed with paclitaxel treatment. Dictyostatin also induces assembly of purified tubulin more rapidly than does paclitaxel, and nearly as vigorously as does dictyostatin's close structural congener, (+)-discodermolide (Isbrucker et al. (2003), Biochem. Pharmacol. 65, 75-82). We used synthetic (-)-dictyostatin to study its biochemical and cytological activities in greater detail. The antiproliferative activity of dictyostatin did not differ greatly from that of paclitaxel or discodermolide. Like discodermolide, dictyostatin retained antiproliferative activity against human ovarian carcinoma cells resistant to paclitaxel due to beta-tubulin mutations and caused conversion of cellular soluble tubulin pools to microtubules. Detailed comparison of the abilities of dictyostatin and discodermolide to induce tubulin assembly demonstrated that the compounds had similar potencies. Dictyostatin inhibited the binding of radiolabeled discodermolide to microtubules more potently than any other compound examined, and dictyostatin and discodermolide had equivalent activity as inhibitors of the binding of both radiolabeled epothilone B and paclitaxel to microtubules. These results are consistent with the idea that the macrocyclic structure of dictyostatin represents the template for the bioactive conformation of discodermolide.
