Psychological and behavioral profiles of combustible vs. e-cigarette users
Background and aim: The decline in combustible cigarette use along with the rapid rise in e-cigarette use necessitates differentiated cessation strategies for each. This narrative review compares psychological, behavioral, and intervention-related characteristics between combustible cigarette users (CCUs) and e-cigarette users (ECUs). Methods: A structured literature search (2010-2025) of PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Google Scholar identified 76 r…
Academic performance, study time, psychological factors, and substance use among Korean adolescents
Substance use and mental health problems often emerge during adolescence. However, relatively few large-scale studies have examined how academic and psychological factors jointly relate to substance use among adolescents in high-pressure educational contexts. This study investigated the associations between perceived academic performance, daily study time, psychological factors (stress, anxiety, and happiness), and alcohol and tobacco use among K…
Efficacy of an app for self-efficacy of patients with cancer through tailored information delivery and coaching
The clinical trial was registered with the Clinical Research Information Service, a part of the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, on March 5, 2024 (approval number: KCT0009219)
Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) in individuals with internet gaming
The preliminary results of current study suggest a mediating effect of ADHD on the severity of internet game play as well as the levels of NAA within the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). The inclusion of ADHD in IGD research is important and deserving of further consideration
Correlations Between Cognitive Functions and Clinical Symptoms in Adolescents With Complex Post-traumatic Stress Disorder
Introduction: Complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD) is characterized by the typical symptoms of PTSD, in addition to affective dysregulation, negative self-concept, and disturbances in interpersonal relationships. Children and adolescents with C-PTSD have been reported to have deficits in emotional and cognitive functions. We hypothesized that the following are associated with the severity of C-PTSD symptoms: (1) adolescents with C-PTSD…
Cost-Effectiveness of a Multi-Disciplinary Emergency Consultation System for Suicide Attempts by Drug Overdose in Young People and Adult Populations
The purpose of this study was to compare the characteristics of suicide attempts by drug overdose between young people and adults, and evaluate the cost-effectiveness of a multi-disciplinary emergency consultation system (MECS) for suicide attempters with drug overdose. It was verified by comparing and analyzing data from June 1, 2017 to May 31, 2018 (before the MECS was implemented; pre-MECS), and from June 1, 2018 to May 31, 2019 (after the MEC…
Association Between Adolescent Internet Gaming and Adult Problematic Web-Based Board Gaming
Introduction: The results of studies comparing the characteristics of Internet gaming with those of Internet gambling have been controversial. We hypothesized that problematic web-based board gaming behaviors are associated with psychological and social interaction factors. We also hypothesized that non-problematic adolescent Internet gaming is a protective factor against problematic web-based board gaming and that problematic Internet gaming is …
Comparison of Behavioral Changes and Brain Activity between Adolescents with Internet Gaming Disorder and Student Pro-Gamers
While pro-gamers play according to defined living habits and planned schedules, adolescents with internet gaming disorder (IGD) exhibit irregular lifestyles and unregulated impulsive gaming behavior. Fourteen IGD adolescents and 12 pro-gaming students participated in this study. At baseline and after one year, demographic data, the Child Behavior Check List (CBCL), depressed mood, anxiety, and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging w…
Impaired Odor Identification of Culturally Familiar Odorants Associated with Dementia in South Korean Older Adults
Among olfactory functions, odor identification is the most studied predictor of dementia. We aimed to verify whether patients with dementia are less aware of specific odors than cognitively normal individuals using an odor identification test, which includes odorants that are culturally familiar to South Koreans. We divided 139 older adults aged 57-79 years into the dementia and normal cognition groups. Odor identification function was assessed i…
Brain Functional Connectivity in Patients With Somatic Symptom Disorder
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to evaluate whether individuals with somatic symptom disorder (SSD) display increased resting-state functional connectivity (FC) within and between the sensorimotor network (SMN), default mode network (DMN), salience network, and dorsal attention network (DAN). METHODS: Eighteen patients with SSD and 20 age- and sex-matched healthy control participants underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imagi…
Personality and Psychological Factors of Problematic Internet Gamers Seeking Hospital Treatment
Introduction: Previous studies on internet gaming disorder (IGD) have reported an association between personality traits and impulsive or problematic use of the internet or internet games, but the results obtained were inconsistent. Our study's hypothesis was that personality traits are associated with the individual's choice to play internet games, and psychological status of the individual is associated with seeking treatment for addictive beha…
Impulsive Internet Game Play Is Associated With Increased Functional Connectivity Between the Default Mode and Salience Networks in Depressed Patients With Short Allele of Serotonin Transporter Gene
Problematic Internet game play is often accompanied by major depressive disorder (MDD). Depression seems to be closely related to altered functional connectivity (FC) within (and between) the default mode network (DMN) and salience network. In addition, serotonergic neurotransmission may regulate the symptoms of depression, including impulsivity, potentially by modulating the DMN. We hypothesized that altered connectivity between the DMN and sali…
Bupropion Shows Different Effects on Brain Functional Connectivity in Patients With Internet-Based Gambling Disorder and Internet Gaming Disorder
Bupropion was effective in improving clinical symptoms in patients with IGD and ibGD. However, there were differences in the pharmacodynamics between the two groups. After 12 weeks of bupropion treatment, the FC within the DMN as well as between the DMN and CCN decreased in patients with IGD, whereas the FC within the CCN increased in patients with ibGD
Character strengths as protective factors against depression and suicidality among male and female employees
We suggest that focusing on "judgement" and "kindness" in female employees, and "teamwork" and "creativity" in male employees, and engaging in activities that use these strengths at the workplace can be protective factors against depression and suicidality. Future research should focus on developing interventions to promote these character strengths among employees at the workplace
Features of Resting-State Electroencephalogram Theta Coherence in Somatic Symptom Disorder Compared With Major Depressive Disorder
OBJECTIVE: Somatic symptom disorder (SSD) often co-occurs with major depressive disorder (MDD). Both conditions share common psychobiological and biobehavioral characteristics, but little is known about differential patterns in brain function. In this study, we compared resting-state functional brain connectivity between SSD and MDD using quantitative electroencephalography. METHODS: Fifteen patients with SSD (SSD group), 15 patients with MDD (MD…
CD98 Activation Increases the Invasion of Human Breast Carcinoma MCF-7 Cells
CD98, a disulfide-linked 125-kDa heterodimeric type II transmembrane glycoprotein, regulates the func-tions of β1 integrin, suggesting that it may play a role in tumor cell invasion. In this study, the effects of CD98 signaling on the adhesion and invasion of tumor cells were investigated. The expression of CD98 on MCF-7 human breast carcinoma cells was confirmed by immunohistochemistry. The effects of CD98 activation on the adhesion to extracell…
