RESUMO

The 2019 corona virus disease (COVID-19) which outbreak in December 2019, in the Chinese city of Wuhan has became a global threat and is currently the largest known outbreak of atypical pneumonia affecting every continent of the world with about 6,416,828 cases and 382,867 deaths. Disease enforced lockdowns are known to cause heightened levels of depression, anxiety, and stress. Our study aimed to investigate the immediate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic enforced lockdown on mental health and quality of life among general population aged 18 years and to identify various coping strategies used under lockdown. An online survey was conducted between 1st of April-10th of May, 2020; using a validated questionnaire based on DASS-42, employing a snowball sampling technique. A total of 418 responses from 16 different countries were received. The respondents had a high level of depression and anxiety scores, which were significantly different among genders. Also, participants from developing countries-India and Pakistan had severe depression while as participants from India, Pakistan and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia had severe anxiety. We also found that among the various coping strategies, (a) watching television for entertainment, (b) social networking, (c) listening to music, (d) sleeping, (e) doing mundane house chores like cleaning, washing, etc. (f) eating well, and (g) clearing/finishing thepiled-up work were ranked among the most utilized coping strategies by all participants. This study identifies the need to provide the free professional and psychological services to help cope with stress during the disease-enforced lockdown.


La maladie à corona (COVID-19) qui s'est déclarée en décembre 2019 dans la ville chinoise de Wuhan est devenue une menace mondiale et constitue actuellement la plus grande épidémie connue de pneumonie atypique affectant tous les continents du monde avec environ 6 416 828 cas et 382 867 décès. On sait que les confinements imposés par la maladie provoquent des niveaux accrus de dépression, d'anxiété et de stress. Notre étude visait à étudier l'impact immédiat du confinement imposé par la pandémie de COVID-19 sur la santé mentale et la qualité de vie de la population générale âgée de 18 ans et à identifier les différentes stratégies d'adaptation utilisées dans le cadre du confinement. Une enquête en ligne a été menée entre le 1er avril et le 10 mai 2020, à l'aide d'un questionnaire validé basé sur la DASS-42, en utilisant une technique d'échantillonnage en boule de neige. Au total, 418 réponses provenant de 16 pays différents ont été reçues. Les personnes interrogées présentaient un niveau élevé de dépression et d'anxiété, qui différaient sensiblement entre les sexes. En outre, les participants des pays en développement ­ Inde et Pakistan ­ souffraient de dépression grave, tandis que les participants de l'Inde, du Pakistan et du Royaume d'Arabie Saoudite souffraient d'anxiété grave. Nous avons également constaté que parmi les différentes stratégies d'adaptation, (a) regarder la télévision pour se divertir, (b) les réseaux sociaux, (c) écouter de la musique, (d) dormir, (e) faire des tâches ménagères banales comme le nettoyage, la lessive, etc. (f) bien manger, et (g) nettoyer/finir mon travail accumulé ont été classés parmi les stratégies d'adaptation les plus utilisées par tous les participants. Cette étude identifie le besoin de fournir des services professionnels et psychologiques gratuits pour aider à faire face au stress pendant le confinement imposé par la maladie.

RESUMO

Two TP53 gene polymorphisms at codon 47 (TP53 Pro47Ser) and at codon 72 (TP53 Arg72Pro) have been associated with susceptibility to various cancers. We carried out a case-control study and examined the genotype distribution of TP53 Pro47Ser and Arg72Pro single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), using a PCR-RFLP approach, to determine if these two SNPs are risk factors for colorectal cancer (CRC) development and to look for a possible correlation of these two SNPs with clinicopathological variables of CRC. We investigated the genotype distribution of these SNPs in 86 CRC cases in comparison with 160 healthy subjects in an ethnic Kashmiri population. TP53 Arg72Pro SNP genotype frequencies differed significantly (P = 0.000001) between the groups; the frequency of the Pro/Pro mutant was almost 20% in the general population. We also found significant association of the Pro/Pro mutant with tumor location, nodal status/higher tumor grade and bleeding per rectum/constipation. We conclude that Arg72Pro SNP is associated with susceptibility to developing CRC in this ethnic Kashmiri population.
