Joseph Delboeuf (1831–1896): a forerunner of modern ideas on hypnosis
Authors: Gauld Alan 
Published: February 2006

AbstractDelboeuf is chiefly remembered today for his lively and perceptive accounts of his visits in the 1880s to the hypnotic schools of the Salpêtrière and of Nancy. But he was himself an active and thoughtful practitioner and theorist in the field of hypnosis. His early position was close to that of the Nancy School, and during this period he carried out interesting experiments on post‐hypnotic amnesia, on the so‐called veille somnambulique, and on the healing effect of hypnotic analgesia on burns. Later, in part because of his increasing involvement in suggestive therapy, he moved away from the Nancy views, coming to hold, for instance, that ‘hypnotic’ phenomena do not depend on the induction of a supposed sleep‐like hypnotic state. His changed views influenced the later Bernheim and his school, and to an extent foreshadowed certain modern writers, for instance Sarbin, Coe, Wagstaff and Spanos.

Fantasy styles, hypnotic dreaming and fantasy proneness
Authors: Lynn Steven Jay , Neufeld Victor A. 
Published: February 2006

AbstractEighty‐three subjects participated in a study of the relation between fantasy styles and hypnotic dreaming. As hypothesized, subjects who reported that their daydreams revolved around fearful, guilt‐ridden, and achievement‐based (Guilt‐fear‐of‐failure, GFF) fantasies, were more likely to report negative emotion and anxiety in their dreams. However, positive‐constructive (PC) fantasy and poor attentional control (PAC) fantasy styles were unrelated to affect expressed in subjects' hypnotic dreams. We also found that fantasy proneness was correlated with both the PC and GFF fantasy styles. Copyright © 1996 British Society of Experimental and Clinical Hypnosis
A study of misattribution and the experience of hypnosis
Authors: Wagstaff Graham F. , Holden Katharine 
Published: February 2006

AbstractTo assess whether subjects who report experiences of being ‘hypnotized’ are prone to attribution errors, 60 subjects were presented with a monotonous tape of numbers from which some numbers were missing, and a standard measure of hypnotic depth. Results indicated that subjects who reported themselves ‘hypnotized’ by the monotonous tape were more likely to misattribute the missing numbers to hypnosis, and report higher levels of hypnotic depth. However, depth reports given in the context of a formal hypnotic induction procedure were unrelated to the tendency to misat‐tribute the missing numbers to hypnosis.

Relaxation and cognitive processing during memory retrieval
Authors: Gosschalk Monica J. , Gregg Vernon H. 
Published: February 2006

AbstractAn experiment is reported that used incidental wordstem completion and intentional cued recall to test the possibility that relaxation encourages a shift towards data driven rather than conceptually driven cognitive processing. The design was based on the test appropriate processing principle. Following deep and shallow processing of word lists, subjects who had undertaken a progressive relaxation exercise or played an active computer game performed a data driven wordstem completion test and a conceptually driven wordstem cued recall test. Consistent with a shift to data driven processing, there was a significant advantage to the relaxed group over the active group for shallow processed words in cued recall. But, contrary to predictions, no difference between groups was found for unconscious wordstem completion. Nevertheless, it is claimed that this study illustrates an experimental approach that has the potential to give new insights into the effects of relaxation and hypnosis on memory processes.

Reversing and breaching posthypnotic amnesia and hypnotically created pseudomemories
Authors: Wagstaff Graham F. , Frost Ruth 
Published: February 2006

AbstractA procedure was devised to investigate whether hypnotically created pseudomemories and posthypnotic amnesia are influenced by subjects' deliberate attempts to enact the hypnotic role. Results indicated that hypnotic pseudomemories, like posthypnotic amnesia, can be reversed or eliminated when subjects are given a previously suggested retrieval cue, and amnesia and pseudomemory are highly correlated. Moreover, both can be significantly reduced, or breached, if, before being tested for amnesia and pseudomemory, hypnotic subjects are given an opportunity to describe their previous hypnotic responses as the result of roleplaying rather than being in a trance. It is concluded that voluntary strategies may play an important part in both hypnotic amnesia and hypnotically created pseudomemories; however, the study should be repeated on a group of very highly responsive subjects.

The use of hypnosis with an injecting heroin user: brief clinical description of a single case
Authors: Drysdale Bill 
Published: February 2006

AbstractThis paper describes the use of hypnosis with an injecting heroin user. This client was finding it very difficult to keep to his methadone prescription and was frequently using heroin ‘on top’. He received three sessions of hypnosis in order to facilitate relaxation and visualization, and resolution of ambivalence concerning his drug use. The results suggest the client has responded well to treatment. Details both of the client and of the three hypnosis sessions are given and the outcome is discussed.

Harvard group scale of hypnotic susceptibility and the creative imagination scale: defining two separate but correlated abilities
Authors: Laidlaw Tannis M. , Large Robert G. 
Published: February 2006

AbstractNormative data for most psychological tests have been collected from student samples rather than clinical populations. So it was for the Harvard Group Scale of Hypnotic Susceptibility (HGSHS:A). This paper describes a comparative study, not a normative study, using an unselected adult, primarily non‐student, cohort of volunteers (n=128) tested on the HGSHS:A. The purpose was to compare the results with those of normative studies performed in the USA, Australia, Germany and Canada. Results indicated strong similarities. Likewise, 49 of these subjects were tested with a taped form of the Creative Imagination Scale (CIS), published in 1978. Scores on neither the HGSHS:A nor the CIS were predicted by either age or sex. Although the CIS and HGSHS:A results were correlated, factor analysis on the two tests showed loadings on separate factors suggesting that these tests are measuring two related, but separate, abilities found in conjunction with each other. We concluded that these instruments can be used with confidence with clinical populations. Copyright © 1997 British Society of Experimental and Clinical Hypnosis
Hypnotherapy with older adults
Authors: Gafner George 
Published: February 2006

AbstractPersons above age 65 are a rapidly growing segment of the world's population, especially in the US. Psychotherapy with older persons has been discussed in the literature for many years, although few papers have addressed hypnosis and older adults. This paper discusses negative bias regarding the elderly, special challenges of late life, and related issues of concern to the psychotherapist. Clinical vignettes of three diverse clients demonstrate age‐appropriate techniques for induction, deepening and other aspects of interactive trancework, along with relevant Ericksonian utilization techniques and strategic therapeutic techniques, that may be useful in treating anxiety, depression, and related problems.

Treatment of childhood dental phobia using a modified television visualization technique
Authors: Bird Nigel 
Published: February 2006

AbstractThis brief report describes a modification of the television visualisation technique for the treatment of dental examination phobia in a nine‐year‐old girl. As I was not intending to accompany her to the dental surgery, she additionally learned to visualize one of her hands as the television remote control unit, which could be switched on and off by her mother at the dentist. She readily achieved competence in this, but appeared to have overcome the phobia during the course of the two training sessions, and was subsequently able to undergo dental examination without needing to use the technique.

Using hypnosis with patients undergoing chemotherapy
Authors: Alden Phyllis A. 
Published: February 2006

AbstractChemotherapy is a procedure many cancer patients have to undergo. For some patients the trauma of chemotherapy can be so great that they cannot cope with it. This paper explores areas where hypnosis as part of a psychological intervention can be of great assistance. However, one should not lose sight of the need to prevent, rather than to treat, psychological problems. Copyright © 1997 British Society of Experimental and Clinical Hypnosis
Stuttering modification using hypnosis: an experimental single‐case study
Authors: Moss Guy J. , Oakley David A. 
Published: February 2006

AbstractThis experimental single‐case study examines hypnosis as an anxiety management and ego‐strengthening technique for stuttering modification. The fluency of a 29‐year‐old male with a severe overt stutter was measured in controlled conditions over a baseline period, 12 hypnosis sessions and five follow‐up sessions, using standardized reading material. In hypnosis the subject was taught anxiety management and self‐hypnosis techniques alongside covert rehearsal of coping with stressful situations. Fluency improved immediately during hypnosis and a steady increase in fluency was seen over sessions on the standardized materials when tested both before and after hypnosis. On the basis of post‐hypnotic suggestion and directed practice, these marked improvements in speech production seen in the laboratory were generalized to everyday situations. The subject also reported a considerable improvement in his general physical and mental well‐being. The significance of these results for the use of hypnosis as an adjunct to speech therapy are discussed. Copyright © 1997 British Society of Experimental and Clinical Hypnosis
Assessing hypnotizability and dissociation in different contexts
Authors: Butler Peter V. , Bryant Richard A. 
Published: February 2006

AbstractSubjects who had completed hypnotizability screening with the Harvard Group Scale of Hypnotic Susceptibility, Form A were subsequently administered the Dissociative Experiences Scale in an independent context. Half the subjects were provided with the standard DES instructions and half were provided with information that minimized the salience of dissociative experiences. HGSHS:A scores correlated significantly with both the standard DES (r = 0.31) and the DES‐Taxon scale (r = 0.35). The modified instructions did not influence correlations with HGSHS:A scores. Findings are discussed in terms of contextual influences on DES responses. Copyright © 1997 British Society of Experimental and Clinical Hypnosis
Transient Th1/Th2 disbalance indicates postoperative effusions and edema after cardiopulmonary bypass in children
Authors: Bocsi József , Richter Margit , Hambsch Jörg , Barten Markus J. , Dähnert Ingo , Schneider Peter , Tárnok Attila 
Published: February 2006

AbstractBackgroundCardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) induces substantial release of IL‐10, indicating increased Th2 cell response. Therefore, in this study, we wanted to verify if this response is due to CPB or surgical trauma, and to study its relation to postoperative effusions and edema (POEE) in children.MethodsTh1/Th2 reaction was monitored in children undergoing cardiovascular surgery with (n = 75) and without CPB (n = 29).ResultsSurgery with CPB compared to surgery without CPB induced a transient shift towards Th2. Elevated Th2 response was related to increased vascular permeability and POEE.ConclusionThe immune suppression/Th2 response is typical for CPB, and at intermediate level is tolerable but at high level could be adverse for the patients. © 2006 International Society for Analytical Cytology
Establishment of HEp‐2 cell preparation for automated analysis of ANA fluorescence pattern
Authors: Hahm Daniel , Anderer Ursula 
Published: February 2006

AbstractBackgroundIdentification of antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) has large clinical importance for the assessment of autoimmune diseases. HEp‐2 cell preparations on microscopic slides are commonly used as antigenic substrate. Methods used for cell preparation are important for ANA pattern analysis; however, these methods differ widely and are mostly not specified.MethodsHEp‐2 cells were fixed using acetic acid‐ethanol, methanol‐acetone, acetone, formaldehyde, paraformaldehyde, or glutaraldehyde. Morphological analysis was done after haematoxylin‐eosin staining and DAPI‐staining of cell nuclei.ResultsThe results demonstrate a high variability of cell and nuclear morphology depending on the used fixatives. Aldehyde fixatives conserved the cell structures best, acetone fixatives revealed remarkable changes.ConclusionsAfter selecting appropriate fixation procedures to preserve nuclear structures further experiments are necessary to find out which fixation procedure preserves the disease‐linked antigens the best way and are, therefore, suitable to be used in ANA‐testing of AABs. © 2006 International Society for Analytical Cytology
Exploring molecular networks directly in the cell
Authors: Schubert Walter 
Published: February 2006

AbstractThe hierarchy of cell function comprises at least four distinct functional levels: genome, transcriptome, proteome, and toponome. The toponome is the entirety of all protein networks traced out directly as patterns on the single cell level in the natural environment of cells in situ (e.g. tissues). In this work a photonic microscopic robot technology (MELK) capable of tagging and imaging hundreds (and possibly thousands) of different molecular components (e.g. proteins) of morphologically‐intact fixed cells and tissue have been developed. MELK data sets represent multidimensional vectors of the topologically determined arrangements of proteins within the cell. The data, assembled in a toponome dictionary of the cell, give rise to a new concept for target and drug lead discovery. © 2006 International Society for Analytical Cytology
Evaluation of a high‐content screening fluorescence‐based assay analyzing the pharmacological modulation of lipid homeostasis in human macrophages
Authors: Werner Tobias , Liebisch Gerhard , Grandl Margot , Schmitz Gerd 
Published: February 2006

AbstractBackgroundFor understanding cholesterol and phospholipid efflux pathways there is a need for cellular fluorescence‐based high‐content screens (HCS) to investigated the cholesterol and phospholipid content in human macrophages.MethodsMaking use of fluorescence imaging based on HCS we have developed a tool to evaluate new agents that can act as inducers of cholesterol efflux. The fluorescence assay is based on the different staining patterns of cholesterol‐loaded (E‐LDL) and deloaded (HDL3) differentiated monocytes by the saturated, fluorescene lipid probe (1,2‐dimyristoyl‐sn‐glycero‐3‐phospho‐ethanolamine)‐tetramethyl‐rhodamin.ResultsMorphologic examination and statistical evaluation of the staining pattern such as gray value, threshold area, shape factor and the spot size distribution provides evidence for a significant pattern change when cholesterol enriched and cholesterol depleted differentiated monocytes were imaged. © 2006 International Society for Analytical Cytology
ETS transcription factor ER81 is required for the pacinian corpuscle development
Authors: Šedý J. , Tseng S. , Walro J. M. , Grim M. , Kucera J. 
Published: February 2006

AbstractER81, a member of the ETS family of transcription factors, is involved in processes of specification of neuronal identity, control of sensory‐motor connectivity, and differentiation of muscle spindles. Spindles either degenerate or are abnormal in mutant mice lacking ER81. We examined whether ER81 is required for the development of another class of mechanoreceptors, the Pacinian corpuscle. ER81 was expressed by the inner core cells of the corpuscles, as reflected by expression of the lacZ reporter gene in Er81+/lacZ mutants, thereby suggesting a role for ER81 in the corpuscle development. No Pacinian corpuscles or their afferent nerve fibers were present in the crus of Er81 null mice at birth. Legs of mutant embryos examined at E16.5 were also devoid of the corpuscles, but not of their afferents. Thus, Pacinian corpuscles do not form, and their afferents do not survive, in the absence of ER81. A deficiency of dorsal root ganglia neurons expressing calretinin, a marker for neurons subserving Pacinian corpuscles, correlated with the absence of corpuscles and their afferents in Er81 null mice. These observations indicate a requirement for ER81 in the assembly of Pacinian corpuscles and the survival of the sensory neurons that innervate them.

Migrating anterior mesoderm cells and intercalating trunk mesoderm cells have distinct responses to Rho and Rac during Xenopus gastrulation
Authors: Ren Ruiyi , Nagel Martina , Tahinci Emilios , Winklbauer Rudi , Symes Karen 
Published: February 2006

AbstractRho GTPases have been shown recently to be important for cell polarity and motility of the trunk mesoderm during gastrulation in Xenopus embryos. This work demonstrated that Rho and Rac have both distinct and overlapping roles in regulating cell shape, and the dynamic properties, polarity, and type of protrusive activity of these cells. Overexpression of activated or inhibitory versions of these GTPases also disrupts development of the head in Xenopus embryos. In this study, we have undertaken a detailed analysis of Rho and Rac function in migrating anterior mesendoderm cells. Scanning electron micrographs of these cells in situ revealed that their normal shingle arrangement is disrupted and both the cells and their lamellipodia are disoriented. Anterior mesendoderm explants plated on their natural blastocoel roof matrix, however, still migrated towards the animal pole, although the tendency to move in this direction is reduced compared to controls. Analysis of a number of parameters in time‐lapse recordings of dissociated cells indicated that Rho and Rac also have both distinct and overlapping roles in the motility of the prospective head mesoderm; however, their effects differ to those previously seen in the trunk mesoderm. Both GTPases appear to modulate cell polarization, migration, and protrusive activity. Rho alone, however, regulates the retraction of the lagging edge of the cell. We propose that within the gastrulating Xenopus embryo, two types of mesoderm cells that undergo different motilities have distinct responses to Rho GTPases.

Published: February 2006

AbstractCleft lip with or without cleft palate (CLP) is the most common craniofacial birth defect in humans. Recently, mutations in theWNT3andWnt9bgenes, encoding two members of the Wnt family of signaling molecules, were found associated with CLP in human and mice, respectively. To investigate whether Wnt3 and Wnt9b directly regulate facial development, we analyzed their developmental expression patterns and found that bothWnt3andWnt9bare expressed in the facial ectoderm at critical stages of midfacial morphogenesis during mouse embryogenesis. WhereasWnt3mRNA is mainly expressed in the maxillary and medial nasal ectoderm,Wnt9bmRNA is expressed in maxillary, medial nasal, and lateral nasal ectoderm. During lip fusion,Wnt9b, but notWnt3, is expressed in the epithelial seam between the fusing medial and lateral nasal processes. Furthermore, we found that expression of TOPGAL, a transgenic reporter of activation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway, is specifically activated in the distal regions of the medial nasal, lateral nasal, and maxillary processes prior to lip fusion. During lip fusion, the epithelial seam between the medial and lateral nasal processes as well as the facial mesenchyme directly beneath the fusing epithelia strongly expresses TOPGAL. These data, together with the CLP lip phenotype inWNT3−/−humans andWnt9b−/−mutant mice, indicate that Wnt3 and Wnt9b signal through the canonical Wnt signaling pathway to regulate midfacial development and lip fusion.

AbstractBackgroundIn an earlier study, we found that anorexia nervosa (AN) does not occur among Black women on the Caribbean island of Curaçao.MethodA case report is presented of a Black Antillean woman with AN, who was referred to a center for eating disorders in The Netherlands. In Curaçao, our patient succeeded in gaining weight to become more attractive. Due to subsequent problems in the relationship with her partner, she deliberately lost weight to become less attractive.ResultsAfter immigrating to The Netherlands, she adopted the Western cultural ideal of thinness and developed AN.ConclusionThis case illustrates the role and possible effects of sociocultural factors in the development of AN. © 2006 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Denial and minimization in adolescents with anorexia nervosa
Authors: Couturier Jennifer L. , Lock James 
Published: February 2006

AbstractObjectivesThis study examines symptoms of denial in 86 adolescents with anorexia nervosa (AN) using a dataset from a family therapy trial.MethodUsing the Restraint subscale of the Eating Disorders Examination (EDE) at baseline, participants were divided into deniers (n = 15), minimizers (n = 21), and admitters (n = 50). These subgroups were compared with analysis of variance (ANOVA; Tukey post‐hoc analysis) on a variety of assessment and treatment variables at baseline and at 12 months.ResultsAlthough body mass index (BMI) was not significantly different, all subscale scores of the EDE were lower in the deniers compared with the admitters (p = .0001 for all subscales) at baseline. Minimizers also scored lower than admitters on 3 of 4 subscales (p = .0001 for the Restraint, Weight Concern, and Shape Concern subscales of the EDE). At baseline and at 12 months, there were no significant differences on the Youth Self‐Report or the Child Behavior Checklist. At 12 months, the only significant difference was in the Restraint subscale, with deniers still scoring lower than admitters (p = .015).ConclusionDenial and minimization appear to be common processes occurring in adolescents with AN and present difficulties in assessment. © 2006 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
