For the instinct of suicide were taken following results; 11.22% of them have an idea for suicide; 1.2% had planned the suicide few months ago; 1.2% of them have attempted suicide during their lifetime. Suicide is associated with several demographic characteristics of dialysis patients: older age; gender (male), low level of education; The low economic and systematic hospitalization in recent hospital.

Abstract:
Themetabolicsyndrome(MS)isaconstellationofclinicalabnormalitiesrelatedto insulin resistance and inflammation. The syndrome is now recognized as a risk factor for diabetes and cardiovascular disease in the general population. Recent studiessuggestthatMSiscommonafterkidneytransplantation,alsopossiblybeing predictive of allograft loss and poor allograftfunction.
Objectives
We studied the prevalence of MS in Egyptian kidney transplant recipients (from Kasr Al-Aini School of Medicine) and its correlation with C-reactive protein(CRP), serum uric acid (UA), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), different immunosuppressive intakes,andhepatitisCvirus(HCV)inthesepatients.
Patients and methods
The present cross-sectional study was conducted in 2012 on 100 renaltransplant recipients,68male(68%)and32female(32%),withstablekidneyfunction(serum creatinine=1.5±1 mg/dl) in King Fahd Unit, Cairo University. All clinical and laboratory data were recorded, including serum creatinine, UA, cholesterol, triglyceride (TGL), low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), ALP, CRP, and HCV Abs. The presence of MS was determined using NCEP-ATP III criteria,withBMIusedinplaceofwaistcircumference.

Title: Ownership structure, economic fluctuation, and capital structure: Evidence from China

Abstract:
We investigate the influence of controlling shareholders, including governmental ownership, on the debt levels of Chinese firms during varying economic conditions. Consistent with previous research, we find that listed firms in China have significantly more shortâ€term debt than longâ€term debt. We also find that as the percentage ownership of the largest shareholder increases, less debt (as a percentage of total assets) is generally preferred. During economic slowdowns, firms tend to reduce their shortâ€term debt levels, although long†term debt appears to increase. Further tests reveal that entrepreneurâ€controlled firms reduce longâ€term debt during economic slowdowns, suggesting that they take into consideration the implications of changes in macroeconomic conditions for earnings and liquidity when making debt financing decisions. However, we also find that State†controlled firms in China tend to increase shortâ€term borrowing during declines in macroeconomic conditions, consistent with the implications of “tunneling and propping.”

Title: The Effects of Motivational Interviewing on the Health Status of Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis

Abstract:
Background: Patients undergoing hemodialysis are exposed to a wide range of physical, psychological, and social problems. One of the most important strategies for health promotion in patients is motivational interviewing. This study investigated the effect of motivational interviewing on the health status of patients undergoing hemodialysis. Methods: This single-blind, parallel, randomized, clinical trial was conducted on 57 patients undergoing hemodialysis who referred to hemodialysis centers of Alzahra and Amin Hospitals, Isfahan, Iran. The participants were selected through quota sampling method and were assigned to the experimental and control groups. The experimental group received five sessions of motivational interviewing, while the control group received five sessions of group discussion about their disease. The General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) was completed by the participants before and after the intervention. Independent t-test, paired-sample t-test, and Mann–Whitney, Chi-square, and Fisher's exact tests were used to analyze the collected data. In this study, the level of significance was 0.05. Before the intervention, there was no significant difference between the mean scores of general health of the two groups (t = 0.48, p = 0.631). However, one week after the intervention, the mean score of general health in the intervention group was significantly lower than that of the control group (t = 3.12, p = 0.003). Results: Before the intervention, there was no significant difference between the mean scores of general health of the two groups (t = 0.48, p = 0.631). However, one week after the intervention, the mean score of general health in the intervention group was significantly lower than that of the control group (t = 3.12, p = 0.003). Conclusions: It can be concluded that motivational interviewing effectively improved the general health of patients undergoing hemodialysis, and using such interventions in these patients is recommended.
