“…Stress may play a moderating role in the relationship between mood, health behaviors, and obesity. 96 This finding was absent when depression was used as a predictor variable, which may be attributed to underreporting of stress levels in this occupational group. 10,97 There may be an indirect relationship between psychological health and chronic disease risk factors, such as obesity, which may be explained by health behaviors.…”

Objective This study examined associations among health behaviors, psychosocial work factors, and health status. Methods Correctional supervisors (n=157) completed a survey that assessed interpersonal and organizational views on health. Chi-square and logistic regressions were used to examine relationships among variables. Results Respondents had a higher prevalence of obesity and comorbidities compared to the general U.S. adult population. Burnout was significantly associated with nutrition, physical activity, sleep duration, sleep quality, diabetes, and anxiety/depression. Job meaning, job satisfaction and workplace social support may predict health behaviors and outcomes. Conclusions Correctional supervisors are understudied and have poor overall health status. Improving health behaviors of middle-management employees may have a beneficial effect on the health of the entire workforce. This paper demonstrates the importance of psychosocial work factors that may contribute to health behaviors and outcomes.

“…Furthermore, it can be observed that less academic distress leads to greater well-being. In reference to this, as stated by Mignano et al (2016), high stress affects an individual's general well-being, and the reduction of social contact and changes in health are related to worse well-being (Chen & Feeley, 2014). Also, the results showed that in the presence of higher well-being in adolescents, higher general selfefficacy (GWM) appeared.…”

“…This tension affects the student's life and can provoke the appearance of anxious and depressive states, even leading to panic crises and school phobia in the child (Maturana & Vargas, 2014). The presence of high stress negatively affects the individual's body weight, hindering healthy behavior such as a balanced diet and exercise (Mignano et al, 2016).…”

Background: Unhealthy eating habits in children and adolescents and low personal judgment of efficacy in maintaining healthy eating behaviors have negative repercussions for health. These negative effects can have a differential affectation associated with psychosocial factors. Objectives/Method: The objectives were: to validate the Weight Efficacy Lifestyle (WEL) Questionnaire for Spanish children and adolescents; to analyze the relationship between well-being, socioeconomic level, body mass index, age, academic distress, social support for healthy and unhealthy eating, and self-efficacy; and to develop an explanatory model of well-being in children and adolescents based on their eating behaviors and other psychosocial behaviors. Results: Data were obtained from 299 children and adolescents (58.5% girls) aged from 9 to 18 years old (M age = 12.92 years, SD = 2.74). Preliminary analysis showed adequate psychometric properties and results showed that perceived well-being was associated with lower academic distress and parent and peer social support for unhealthy eating, and with a better eating self-efficacy, parent support for healthy eating, and general weight management self-efficacy. Conclusions: Therefore, fostering confidence in children and adolescents about their weight management selfefficacy judgments may influence well-being, reduce body mass index, and prevent overweight and obesity.

Background: Irinotecan is a promising antitumor agent approved by FDA for intravenoususe in colon cancer treatment either alone or in combination. It is a topoisomerase inhibitor and by blocking the topoisomerase-I enzyme, it causes DNA damage and results in cell death. However, it lacks selectivity and specificity for tumor cells, resulting in systemic toxicity. Thus, it is essential to reduce its side effects and improve therapeutic efficacy. Objective: The study was aimed to improve the therapeutic efficacy and to minimize the toxic effects of irinotecan by developing a fullerene functionalized biotin drug delivery system and adsorbing irinotecan on the surface of the functionalized fullerene-biotin complex. Methods: Fullerene (C60) has been observed as a potential drug delivery agent and the amine- functionalized C60-NH2 was synthesized by functionalizing ethylenediamine on the surface of C60. The PEI functionalized C60 was further synthesized by polymerization of aziridine on the surface of C60-NH2 Biotin was attached by an amide linkage to C60-PEI and the anti-colon cancer drug irinotecan (IRI) was encapsulated (C60-PEI-Biotin/IRI). The C60-PEI-Biotin/IRI was characterized and evaluated for in vivo anti-colon cancer activity in rats and the results were compared with the parent drug irinotecan. Results: The results showed that C60-PEI-Biotin/IRI conjugatehad acontrolled release profile according to in vitroHPLC studies. Moreover in vivo anti-tumor studies suggested that the conjugate proved to be less toxic to vital organs and had high efficacy towards tumor cells. Statistical studies confirmed less tumor index and tumor burden in the case of conjugate when compared to irinotecan. Conclusion: It is hypothesized that the conjugate (C60-PEI-Biotin/IRI) could cross the cell membrane easily through overexpressed biotin receptors on the cell surface of colon cancer cells and showed better efficacy and less toxicity in comparison to IRI in the colon cancer rat model.
