Abstract : In 2018, the WHO has categorized gaming disorder as an official disease. One of ways to estimate a person’s level or status is use IGD-20 Test. The purpose our research determine whether not internet (IGD) significant negative impact on academic performance using binary dependent and two-staged least squares models. We obtained data from 390 Indonesian university students, consisting...

Most mature B lymphocytes coexpress two classes of antigen receptor, immunoglobulin (Ig)M and IgD. The differences in the signal transduction from the two receptors are still a matter of controversy. We have analyzed B cell lines expressing IgM or IgD antigen receptors with the same antigen specificity. Cross-linking of these receptors with either antigen, or class-specific antibodies, results ...

IgD is considered to be a recently-evolved Ig and a puzzling molecule, being previously found in all vertebrate taxa, except for birds. Although IgD likely plays an important role in vertebrate immune responses, the function of IgD in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is virtually unknown. In the present study, a membrane form of IgD (mIgD) heavy chains were cloned from the GIFT strain of Ni...

Adult spleen cells from C57BL.Ige mice, which generally are resistant to in vitro tolerance induction in the B-cell compartment, became hyporesponsive (tolerant) when cultured with antigen in the presence of an anti-allotype serum. Both antigen and anti-delta had to be present for this effect, which was hapten-specific and did not occur in C57BL/L mice, which lack the Ig5-1 allotype of the delt...

Gaming behaviors have been significantly influenced by smartphones. This study was designed to explore gaming behaviors and clinical characteristics across different gaming device usage patterns and the role of the patterns on Internet gaming disorder (IGD). Responders of an online survey regarding smartphone and online game usage were classified by different gaming device usage patterns: (1) i...

A novel surface protein of the bacterial species Moraxella catarrhalis that displays a high affinity for IgD (MID) was solubilized in Empigen and isolated by ion exchange chromatography and gel filtration. The apparent molecular mass of monomeric MID was estimated to approximately 200 kDa by SDS-PAGE. The mid gene was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The complete mid nucleotide gene se...

AIMS A possible addiction mechanism has been represented by altered functional connectivity (FC) in the resting state. The aim of this study was to evaluate the FCs of the insula and nucleus accumbens among subjects with Internet gaming disorder (IGD). METHODS We recruited 30 males with IGD and 30 controls and evaluated their FC using functional magnetic imaging scanning under resting, a stat...

In this paper we demonstrate, for the first time, that Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-infected cells expressing the lymphoblastoid growth program are present in healthy carriers of the virus. Previously we observed that latently infected naive B cells are present in tonsils only when viral replication is detected, suggesting that these may represent newly infected B cells. We have tested this idea by...

Objective Several studies have suggested the efficacy of bupropion and escitalopram on reducing the excessive internet game play. We hypothesized that both bupropion and escitalopram would be effective on reducing the severity of depressive symptoms and internet gaming disorder (IGD) symptoms in patients with both major depressive disorder and IGD. However, the changes in brain connectivity bet...
