Parental Abuse, Risky Behavior and Psychopathic Traits in Adolescents and Early Adults

This study examines the associations between parental abuse, risky behavior, and affective psychopathic traits. Ninety-one (49% males) rural adolescents and young adults (between the ages of fourteen and twenty-five) participated in an investigation of gene and environment interactions. The sample consisted of high school and undergraduate college students. These participants provided self-reports of parental abuse, risky behaviors, and psychopathic affective traits. Results suggested that psychopathic traits, especially a lack of remorse and parental abuse, independently account for some risky behavior.https://digitalcommons.mtech.edu/urp_aug_2013/1001/thumbnail.jp

A comprehensive categorical and bibliometric analysis of published research articles on pediatric pain from 1975-2010

The field of pediatric pain research began in the mid-1970's and has undergone significant growth and development in recent years as evidenced by the variety of books, conferences, and journals on the topic as well as the number of disciplines engaged in work in this area. Using categorical and bibliometric meta-trend analysis, the current study offers a synthesis of research on pediatric pain published between 1975 and 2010 in peer-reviewed journals. Abstracts from 4256 articles, retrieved from Web of Science, were coded across four categories: article type, article topic, type and age of participants, and pain stimulus. The affiliation of the first author and number of citations were also gathered. The results suggest a significant increase in the number of publications over the time period investigated, with 96% of the included articles published since 1990 and most research being multi-authored publications in pain- focused journals. First authors were most often from the United States, and affiliated with a medical department. The majority of studies were original research articles; the most frequent topics were pain characterization (39.86%), pain intervention (37.49%), and pain assessment (25.00%). Clinical samples were most frequent, with participants most often characterized as children (6-12 years) or adolescents (13-18 years) experiencing chronic or acute pain. The findings provide a comprehensive overview of contributions in the field of pediatric pain research over 35 years and offers recommendations for future research in the area.

A class I jumping clone places the HLA-G gene approximately 100 kilobases from HLA-H within the HLA-A subregion of the human MHC

By the combination of cosmid cloning, chromosomal jumping, and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), we have fine-mapped the HLA-A subregion of the human major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Through the isolation of a class I jumping clone, the Qa-like HLA-G class I gene has been placed within 100 kb of HLA-H. The tight physical linkage of these class I genes has been further supported by hybridizing PFGE blots with locus-specific probes. It has been found that both of the above class I genes are linked to HLA-A, with HLA-H residing no more than 200 kb from the HLA-A gene. These data support the possible existence of a Qa-like subregion composed of nonclassical HLA class I genes within the human MHC linked telomerically to the HLA-A locus.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/29217/1/0000272.pd
