    Abstract People were confronted with a barrage of negative news during the COVID-19 crisis. This study investigated how anticipated psychological impact predicted decisions to read personalized and factual COVID-19 news. First, participants chose, based on headlines, whether they wanted to read news articles (or not). Then, all headlines were rated on a set of motivational dimensions. In order to test confirmatory hypotheses, the data were divided into an exploration (

    Abstract This paper examined, with a behavioral paradigm, to what extent people choose to view stimuli that portray death, violence or harm. Based on briefly presented visual cues, participants made choices between highly arousing, negative images and positive or negative alternatives. The negative images displayed social scenes that involved death, violence or harm (e.g., war scene), or decontextualized, close-ups of physical harm (e.g., mutilated face) or natural threat (e.g., attacking shark). The results demonstrated that social negative images were chosen significantly more often than other negative categories. Furthermore, participants preferred social negative images over neutral images. Physical harm images and natural threat images were not preferred over neutral images, but were chosen in about thirty-five percent of the trials. These results were replicated across three different studies, including a study that presented verbal descriptions of images as pre-choice cues. Together, these results show that people deliberately subject themselves to negative images. With this, the present paper demonstrates a dynamic relationship between negative information and behavior and advances new insights into the phenomenon of morbid curiosity.

    Abstract Objectives: Cell-cell adhesion mediated by cadherins is tight and stable and preserves tissue integrity. However, during tissue remodeling, e.g., development, adhesion may be modified for morphogenic movement. Similarly, during carcinogenesis, cell-cell adhesion might alter leading to a more aggressive phenotype. Here we describe cadherin expression patterns in developing, adult, and neoplastic kidney.
    Methods: Fetal kidneys were obtained from voluntary terminations of pregnancy and 43 renal cell carcinomas (RCC) and normal kidneys were obtained at nephrectomy. Frozen sections of these specimens were stained immunohistochemically using antibodies against E-cadherin (ECD), cadherin-6 (CAD6) and alpha-catenin (alpha-cat).
    Results: CAD6 was expressed in lower and middle limbs of the S-shaped bodies, structures that will develop into renal proximal tubules, which also express CAD6. Similarly, ECD was expressed in the upper limb of S-shaped bodies, structures which will develop into distal and collecting tubules which also express ECD. Twenty-four out of 43 RCC (55.8%) displayed a CAD6 (+)/ECD (-)/alpha-cat (+) phenotype. The other RCC had a CAD6 (+)/ECD (+)/alpha-cat (+) phenotype (10/43, 23.2%), CAD6 (-)/ECD (+)/alpha-cat (+) phenotype (3/43, 7.0%) or CAD6 (-)/ECD (-)/alpha-cat (+) phenotype (6/43, 14.0%), respectively. On the other hand, normal, heterogeneous, or absent expression of CAD6 was seen in 19, 15, and 9 tumors, whereas in 11, 2, and 30 tumors, respectively, ECD expression was seen. Survival curves showed that abnormal CAD6 expression correlated with a poor prognosis rather than abnormal ECD expression.
    Conclusions: The combination of cadherin expression appeared to be fixed relatively early during kidney organogenesis. Since almost all RCC originate from proximal tubular epithelial cells (CAD6 (+)/ECD (-)/alpha-cat (+)), only 55. 8% of RCC retained the original cadherin phenotype. Alterations in expression of these molecules may be a reflection of the degree of dedifferentiation from the primary organ. In addition, scoring of expression patterns including heterogeneous expression could be a useful tool to estimate the malignancy potential of the tumor.

    Abstract Four different carbonic anhydrases are expressed in the human nephron, the functional unit of the kidney. These are specifically expressed in different nephron segments, emphasizing the critical role carbonic anhydrases play in maintaining the homeostasis of this crucial organ.Whereas the localization of carbonic anhydrases in the kidney has been long established, interest in carbonic anhydrases has increased dramatically for renal cancer, in particular for the clear cell variant of renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) because carbonic anhydrase IX is specifically expressed in ccRCC. Therefore carbonic anhydrase IX is being studied as potential diagnostic and therapeutic target, despite carbonic anhydrase IX expression in non-renal tissues.

    Abstract In many carcinomas, E-cadherin is considered to be a prognostic marker for patient survivals, and its decreased expression is associated with metastatic disease. Among renal cell carcinomas (RCCs), however, only 20% of tumors express E-cadherin, whereas a much higher percentage express other cadherins, e.g., N-cadherin and cadherin-6 (T. Shimazui et al, Cancer Res., 56: 3234-3237, 1996). Among these cadherins expressed in RCCs, cadherin-6 has been identified as a major cadherin in the renal proximal tubules and in the tumors themselves. Hence, we have investigated the relationship between prognosis and cadherin-6 expression in tumor cells in 43 patients with RCC. Expression of cadherin-6, E-cadherin, and alpha-catenin was detected immunohistochemically and evaluated microscopically as normal, heterogeneous, or absent. Normal, heterogeneous, and absent expression of cadherin-6 were observed in 19, 16, and 8 of 43 cases, respectively. Coexpression of E-cadherin and cadherin-6 was detected in only 10 cases. Among 30 tumors in which E-cadherin expression was absent, 24 expressed cadherin-6. In addition, the expression pattern of alpha-catenin correlated more highly with that of cadherin-6 than it did with E-cadherin (P = 0.0003 versus 0.025). In survival analyses, aberrant expression of cadherin-6 correlated with poor survivals both among all patients (P = 0.0009) and in those with E-cadherin-absent RCC (P = 0.0008). These results suggest that cadherin-6 is a major cadherin playing an essential role in cell-cell adhesion in E-cadherin-absent RCC.

    Abstract Models are the hallmark of mature scientific inquiry. In psychology, this maturity has been reached in a pervasive question-what models best represent facial expressions of emotion? Several hypotheses propose different combinations of facial movements [action units (AUs)] as best representing the six basic emotions and four conversational signals across cultures. We developed a new framework to formalize such hypotheses as predictive models, compare their ability to predict human emotion categorizations in Western and East Asian cultures, explain the causal role of individual AUs, and explore updated, culture-accented models that improve performance by reducing a prevalent Western bias. Our predictive models also provide a noise ceiling to inform the explanatory power and limitations of different factors (e.g., AUs and individual differences). Thus, our framework provides a new approach to test models of social signals, explain their predictive power, and explore their optimization, with direct implications for theory development.
