Abstract
There is a growing focus on exploring dyadic interactions and outcomes between couples undergoing cervical cancer (CC). The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to figure out how dyadic communication influences both CC patients' and spouses' coping abilities. A sample of 286 CC dyads completed questionnaires assessing dyadic communication and dyadic coping. The actor-partner interdependence model was used to analyze the interaction effect between the dyads. Dyadic communication among cervical cancer (CC) patients has a predictive effect on their own negative dyadic coping (β = - 0.141, P = 0.034) and on their spouses' delegated dyadic coping (β = 0.133, P = 0.044). In contrast, dyadic communication among CC spouses is negatively associated with their own supportive dyadic coping (β = - 0.237, P < 0.001), delegated dyadic coping (β = - 0.156, P = 0.018), common dyadic coping (β = - 0.148, P = 0.026) and also with CC patients' supportive dyadic coping (β = - 0.153, P = 0.022). Dyadic communication between CC patients and their spouses affect their own and each other's dyadic coping. Exploring interventions focused on the CC couples' communication strategies to enhance their positive dyadic coping should be considered.

Abstract
Background The population of infertile couples receiving in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer in China is increasing gradually. The association of self-esteem and dyadic coping of infertile couples undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer has not been reported. This investigation aimed to examine the predictive effect of self-esteem of infertile couples undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer on coping strategies at the dyadic level. Methods A cross-sectional study involving 283 infertile couples was conducted at the Reproductive Center of Northwest Women and Children's Hospital in China. Participants were asked to complete two self-administered questionnaires, to assess self-esteem (Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale) and dyadic coping (Dyadic Coping Inventory). Paired t-test and Pearson correlation were used to analyze the difference and correlation of variables between wife and husband. The actor-partner interdependence model was used to test the predictive effect of each individual's self-esteem on their own and their partners' dyadic coping. Results Infertile couples' self-esteem and dyadic coping are in the medium range. The self-esteem of wives and husbands can fully predict their own dyadic coping. Meanwhile, the husband's self-esteem can predict the wife's stress communication (β = 0.135, p = 0.025), support dyadic coping (β = 0.142, p = 0.019), and negative dyadic coping (β = 0.133, p = 0.024), and the wife's perceived partners' supportive dyadic coping (β = 0.147, p = 0.014) and negative dyadic coping (β = 0.144, p = 0.016). Similarly, the wife's self-esteem can predict the husband's supportive dyadic coping (β = 0.195, p < 0.001), and the husband's perceived partners' stress communication (β = 0.184, p = 0.003) and supportive dyadic coping (β = 0.180, p = 0.002). Conclusion The actor-partner analyses revealed insight into how infertile couples undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer interact and highlighted the importance of self-esteem in dyadic coping styles. Future psychological interventions can enhance self-esteem as an effective way to improve dyadic coping of infertile couples.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of a nurse-led couples intervention on the marital quality of couples coping with gynecological cancer. METHODS Couples coping with gynecological cancer were randomly allocated to the intervention (n = 51) and the control (n = 53) group. The intervention group received the nurse-led couples intervention developed based on the Preliminary Live with Love Conceptual Framework plus routine nursing care. The control group received only routine nursing care. Marital quality, including marital satisfaction, marital communication, and sexual life, were measured using Olson Marital Quality Questionnaire at 3 timepoints (baseline, 2- and 3-months following baseline). Generalized estimating equation was used to examine the effectiveness of the intervention in improving marital quality. RESULTS Patients and husbands in the intervention group had significantly improved marital satisfaction scores (Waldχ2 = 11.109, P = 0.001; Waldχ2 = 4.849, P = 0.028); the interaction between intervention and time had a significant effect on the marital communication of both patients and their husbands (Waldχ2 = 6.214, P = 0.045; Waldχ2 = 15.460, P < 0.001). Patient-reported and husband-reported sexual life was not significantly influenced by the intervention (Waldχ2 = 0.167, P = 0.683; Waldχ2 = 3.215, P = 0.073). CONCLUSIONS The nurse-led couples intervention based on the Preliminary Live with Love Conceptual Framework improved marital satisfaction and marital communication, but not sexual life, of couples coping with gynecological cancer. The provision of professional sexual health psychology training for nurses may be crucial if nurse-led models are to truly support the sexual health of couples coping with gynecological cancer.

Abstract
Zinc (Zn) is an indispensable element for rice growth. Zn deficiency results in brown blotches and streaks 2-3 weeks after transplanting, as well as stunting, reduced tillering, and low productivity of rice plants. These processes are controlled by different families of expressed genes. A comparative transcriptome profile analysis was conducted using the roots of two Zn deficiency tolerant varieties (UCP122 and KALIBORO26) and two sensitive varieties (IR26 and IR64) by merging data from untreated control (CK) and Zn deficiency treated samples. Results revealed a total of 4,688 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the normal Zn and deficient conditions, with 2,702 and 1,489 unique DEGs upregulated and downregulated, respectively. Functional enrichment analysis identified transcription factors (TFs), such as WRKY, MYB, ERF, and bHLH which are important in the regulation of the Zn deficiency response. Furthermore, chitinases, jasmonic acid, and phenylpropanoid pathways were found to be important in the Zn deficiency response. The metal tolerance protein (MTP) genes also appeared to play an important role in conferring tolerance to Zn deficiency. A heavy metal-associated domain-containing protein 7 was associated with tolerance to Zn deficiency and negatively regulated downstream genes. Collectively, our findings provide valuable expression patterns and candidate genes for the study of molecular mechanisms underlying the response to Zn deficiency and for improvements in breeding for tolerance to Zn deficiency in rice.
