“…BC values for common genes were found to be significantly higher as compared to the other 2 gene types (Figure 1G). It has been previously reported that TC could measure the extent to which a node shared a link with other nodes in the network 16 . Similar to degree and BC, common genes exhibited significantly higher TC in the present case (Figure 1H).…”

“…It has been previously reported that TC could measure the extent to which a node shared a link with other nodes in the network. 16 Similar to degree and BC, common genes exhibited significantly higher TC in the present case (Figure 1H). These results showed that common genes showed more special topological characteristics, and played an important role in the occurrence of the disease.…”

Objective Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a severe manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which is characterized by low survival time post‐diagnosis. Thus, it is important to explore the role of gene regulation related with ILD. Method Constructed a RA‐ILD‐related long chain noncoding RNA – messenger RNA (lncRNA‐mRNA) network (ILD‐LMN), based on ILD‐ and RA‐related genes. We analyzed the topological properties of the resulting network. Result The results for network modularization and functional analysis showed that ILD‐LMN performed basic and specific functions in ILD pathology. Furthermore, differential expression and correlation analysis of hub nodes revealed highly correlated competitive endogenous RNA regulatory relationships with important roles in pathological regulation. Following this, statistical analysis of disease‐related single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in hub lncRNAs revealed that some of transcription factor‐related SNPs were significantly associated with the expression of lncRNA. In fact, these SNPs exhibited significant differential expression in disease and normal samples. Conclusion These results suggest that ILD‐LMN has important implications in the study of disease. Altogether, the study of RA‐ and ILD‐related lncRNA and genes on the basis of biological network would assist in providing better treatment opportunities for ILD patients. Additionally, it would promote further research on treatment of the disease.

“…These must be developed from the very start as delay until later intervention stages can cause intense emotional burden in users that can lead to premature abandonment of treatment. This is relevant if we consider that the person's level of social and family integration plays a key role in whether they remain in treatment ( 6 , 8 , 32 , 34 , 48 , 49 ).…”

The aim of this study is to explore the effects of a residential multimodal treatment intervention for an addict population. We gathered participants from the “Programa Base” (n = 166) of the Solidarity and Reinsertion Foundation of Murcia, and assessed the various problematic areas with the EuropASI at baseline level, 6 months and 12 months of treatment. We found improved outcomes in every area except for Legal Status. In addition, we found differences between male and female participants in their baseline evaluation, as well as between completers and non-completers. In conclusion, this data shows us some changes which occurred in individuals with problematic drug use during treatment, going further into the complex social reality which causes great suffering and damage to people and their families.

“…Data come from the Therapeutic Community Prison Inmate Networks Study (TC-PINS), a longitudinal network study of prison-based treatment processes (Kreager et al 2018; Kreager et al 2019; Schaefer et al forthcoming). The facility is a medium-security men’s state prison in Pennsylvania that houses many short-sentence prisoners previously assessed as substance dependent while they complete substance abuse treatment near the end of their sentences.…”

Personal network change is largely driven by transitions between the groups and organizations where people spend their day-to-day lives. But, how do entrants choose which relationships to pursue among the numerous possibilities a new environment offers? We expect newcomers will use the same mechanisms as longer-tenured members, although this will take time as they acclimate and form initial relationships that support future ties. Thus, our goal is to understand how the network selection processes used by new organizational members shift in importance as time in the organization grows. We focus on network selection via homophily, propinquity, formal relations, and endogenous network processes. For each mechanism, we distinguish between change in the strength of the mechanism and opportunities to enact the mechanism. We evaluate expected changes using network data from a prison-based therapeutic community (TC). This setting is ideal because the structured nature of TC entry and exit generates regular membership turnover and removes confounds present in studies of more familiar contexts (e.g., schools). Results show that the relative importance of network selection mechanisms varies over tenure, with homophily dominating early on and endogenous network processes catching up later. We discuss implications of these findings for new member socialization and broader patterns of inequality.
