Background: Schizophrenia is a serious mental disorders characterized by sever cognitive impairments that affect patient's ability to cope with stress and therefore, lower resilience and life satisfaction. Aim of the study: Was to investigate the relation between resilience and life satisfaction among schizophrenic patients. Research design: A descriptive correlational design was used in this study. Setting: This study was conducted at Psychiatric and Mental Health Hospital in Benha City, Qalubia Governorate. Sample: A purposive sample consisted of 100 schizophrenic patients from the previous study setting. Tools: Three tools were used for data collection. Tool 1structured interview questionnaire was used to collect data about socio demographic and clinical characteristics of the studied sample. Tool (2):-The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) to assess reference values for resilience in clinical samples. Tool (3):-Satisfaction with Life Scale was used to measure life satisfaction among the studied sample. Results: More than three quarters of the studied patients had low level of total resilience and the majority of the studied patients had low level of total life satisfaction and there was a highly statistically significant positive correlation between total resilience and total life satisfaction. Conclusion: In ability of schizophrenic patients to deal with stressors are prone to have low resilience that in turn lowers patient's life satisfaction. Recommendations: Psycho-educational training program should be developed to improve resilience and life satisfaction among schizophrenic patients.

Venoms of parasitoid wasps injected into the host may play vital roles in successful parasitism. It could manipulate the host physiology and suppress its immune response. Heat shock proteins (hsps) could be induced by a variety of physiological stresses and might play roles in modulating the host-parasitoid relationship. Quantitative real-time transcription PCR was used to determine the changes of heat shock protein90 gene in Polidia interpunctella and Ephestia kuehniella larvae post parasitization by Bracon hebtor wasp. The results indicated that hsp90 gene expression level showed different behavior in both hosts, at all-time intervals post parasitism. Expression of the gene in P. interpunctella larvae was significantly down regulated at 12h. A high significant down regulated was observed at 24 and 72h after parasitization. Meanwhile, a high significant up-regulation was recorded after 48 h compared with control. On the other hand, the levels of hsp90 in E. kuehniella were high significantly down regulated in all treated larvae compared with control. We can conclude that the suppression hsp90 gene could be a component of parasitized hosts' manipulation strategy that regulate the host physiology and suppress the immune response. Hsp90 might play an important role in host paralysis and inhibit its development.
