Depresio- eta antsietate-sintomen eta hanturaren arteko erlazioa bularreko minbizia gainditutako emakumeetan
Bularreko minbizia gainditutako emakumeen antsietate- eta depresio-prebalentzia biztanleria orokorrarena baino handiagoa da. Nahasmendu horien eta minbiziaren arteko fisiopatologian zenbait faktore berdin aurki daitezke: hantura, zitokinak eta kortisola. Ikerketa honen helburua bularreko minbizia gainditutako emakumeetan depresio- eta antsietate-sintomen eta hantura-adierazleen arteko erlazioa aztertzea da. Kortisol-maila handiagoak aurkitu ditugu antsietate- eta depresio-sintomak dituzten emakumeetan. Gainera, TNF-α maila altuak aurkitu ditugu depresioa duten emakumeetan.

Active and Passive Coping Strategies: Comparing Psychological Distress, Cortisol, and Proinflammatory Cytokine Levels in Breast Cancer Survivors
Breast cancer survivors can experience psychological distress, such as anxiety and depression, long after treatment has ended, and the development of such negative affective states has been related to the coping strategy used. This pilot study aims to determine whether different coping strategies are associated with differences in psychological distress, cortisol, and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-a) levels in breast cancer survivors. 54 breast cancer survivors completed the Stress Coping Questionnaire and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and provided a blood sample for cortisol and proinflammatory cytokine measures. Passive coping strategies were associated with higher psychological distress, cortisol, and TNF-a levels. The passive group had more avoidance and negative self-targeting and less positive reappraisal and focusing on a problem's solution.

Predictors of psychological distress in breast cancer survivors: A biopsychosocial approach
Objective A cross‐sectional study was conducted to examine the extent to which perceived social support, cortisol‐awaking response (CAR) and tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF‐α) interact to statistically predict psychological distress in breast cancer survivors. Method Moderation analyses were performed to study the influence of some psychobiological variables on psychological distress. The sample was comprised by 80 survivor women. Results TNF‐α moderate the relation between social support and psychological distress, with both high and moderate levels being significant. In relation to age, a negative association between social support and psychological distress was found only in younger‐ and middle‐age women, while lower levels of CAR were associated with psychological distress in older breast cancer survivors. Conclusion This study provides a biopsychosocial approach about the predictors of psychological distress among breast cancer survivors. Social support interventions during and after treatment may help to improve women's longer‐term health and quality of live during survivorship.

Benlafaxinaren eragina ezegonkortasun sozial kronikoa jasandako sagu emeen sistema serotoninergiko zentralean eta jokabidean
Bi bider ohikoagoa da depresioaren diagnosia emakumeengan gizonezkoetan baino, eta, ondorioz, baita farmako antidepresiboen erabilera ere. Hala ere, estresarekin lotutako nahasteen eta haien tratamenduaren inguruko ikerketa gehienak animalia arretan egiten dira, eta ikerketetako emaitzak gizon nahiz emakumeetara orokortzen dira gero. Ildo horretatik, antsietatearen eta depresioaren aurkako tratamenduen eraginkortasuna sexuaren araberakoa da, berezitasun biologikoak izaki. Hori dela-eta, lan honek ezegonkortasun sozial kronikoaren estresa bizi duten sagu emeen jokabidean eta garuneko bide serotoninergikoan benlafaxinak —serotoninaren eta noradrenalinaren birkaptazioaren inhibitzailea— duen eragina du aztergai.

Tumoreek, estres sozialak eta estresari aurre egiteko estrategiek jokabide depresiboan eta garunaren aktibitatean duten eragina
Depresioak lotura estua du minbiziarekin eta estres sozialarekin, baina harreman hori eragiten duten mekanismoen inguruko informazioa ez dago erabat osatuta. Hori dela-eta, tumoreek eta estresak garunaren aktibitatean duten eragina aztertzea izan du helburu ikerketa honek. Horretarako, Oncins France 1 (OF1) sagu arrei B16F10 melanoma zelulak inokulatu eta azpitalde bati estres soziala eragin zaio. Tumoreak garuneko serotonina-maila murriztu eta 3-HK neurotoxikoaren maila handitu du. Azken efektu hori estresari aurre egiteko estrategia pasiboak dituzten saguetan ere azaldu da. Jokaerari dagokionez, tumoreak sakarosarekiko preferentzia txikitu eta eremu irekiko proban gelditasuna handitu ditu. Ondorioz, tumoreak bide toxikoa aktibatu eta jokaera depresiboak areagotu dituela adierazten dute datuek.
