文摘Background:The academic community is increasingly interested in understanding the mechanisms through which gratitude influences coping strategies.In addition,the role of gratitude in fostering long-term resilience and mental health outcomes has garnered significant attention.This study explores the mechanisms through which gratitude affects problem-focused coping strategies and emotion-focused coping strategies by constructing models involving gratitude,perceived social support,self-esteem,and problem-focused coping strategies,as well as models involving gratitude,perceived social support,self-esteem,and emotion-focused coping strategies.Methods:A longitudinal survey was conducted on 1666 Chinese university students using highly reliable and valid scales,including the Gratitude Scale,Perceived Social Support Scale,Self-Esteem Scale,and Brief Coping Strategies Scale.To examine whether perceived social support and self-esteem play a significant indirect role in the relationship between gratitude and problem-focused coping strategies,as well as between gratitude and emotion-focused coping strategies.Differences in variables based on demographic variables:We used one-way ANOVA to test the differences in gratitude,perceived social support,self-esteem,problem-focused coping strategies,and emotion-focused coping strategies among students of different grades and ages.Additionally,independent samples t-tests were used to examine the differences between students of different genders and household registrations.Results:The study found that(1)Gratitude significantly positively predicted perceived social support(β=0.661,p<0.001),self-esteem(β=0.234,p<0.001),and problemfocused coping strategies(β=0.130,p<0.001);(2)Perceived social support significantly positively predicted self-esteem(β=0.440,p<0.001;β=0.439,p<0.001),problem-focused coping strategies(β=0.443,p<0.001),and emotion-focused coping strategies(β=0.279,p<0.001);(3)Self-esteem significantly positively predicted problem-focused coping strategies(β=0.172,p<0.001)and significantly negatively predicted emotion-focused coping strategies(β=−0.205,p<0.001);(4)Gratitude can influence problem-focused coping strategies through the dual indirect effect of two mediating variables.After the inclusion of the mediating variables,the effect of problem-focused coping strategies in the indirect model was further strengthened.(5)Gratitude can influence emotion-focused coping strategies through a completely indirect effect on perceived social support and self-esteem.After inserting the mediating variables,the effect of emotionfocused coping strategies in the mediating model is enhanced.Conclusion:Gratitude can directly and positively predict problem-focused coping strategies,and it can also positively predict problem-focused coping strategies through the dual indirect effect of two mediating variables.Gratitude does not significantly predict emotion-focused coping strategies directly,but it can influence emotion-focused coping strategies via a double indirect pathway.

文摘Enhancing neurological recovery and improving the prognosis of spinal cord injury have gained research attention recently.Spinal cord injury is associated with a complex molecular and cellular microenvironment.This complexity has prompted researchers to elucidate the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and changes and to identify effective treatment strategies.Traditional approaches for spinal cord injury repair include surgery,oral or intravenous medications,and administration of neurotrophic factors;however,the efficacy of these approaches remains inconclusive,and serious adverse reactions continue to be a concern.With advancements in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine,emerging strategies for spinal cord injury repair now involve nanoparticle-based nanodelivery systems,scaffolds,and functional recovery techniques that incorporate biomaterials,bioengineering,stem cell,and growth factors as well as three-dimensional bioprinting.Ideal biomaterial scaffolds should not only provide structural support for neuron migration,adhesion,proliferation,and differentiation but also mimic the mechanical properties of natural spinal cord tissue.Additionally,these scaffolds should facilitate axon growth and neurogenesis by offering adjustable topography and a range of physical and biochemical cues.The three-dimensionally interconnected porous structure and appropriate physicochemical properties enabled by three-dimensional biomimetic printing technology can maximize the potential of biomaterials used for treating spinal cord injury.Therefore,correct selection and application of scaffolds,coupled with successful clinical translation,represent promising clinical objectives to enhance the treatment efficacy for and prognosis of spinal cord injury.This review elucidates the key mechanisms underlying the occurrence of spinal cord injury and regeneration post-injury,including neuroinflammation,oxidative stress,axon regeneration,and angiogenesis.This review also briefly discusses the critical role of nanodelivery systems used for repair and regeneration of injured spinal cord,highlighting the influence of nanoparticles and the factors that affect delivery efficiency.Finally,this review highlights tissue engineering strategies and the application of biomaterial scaffolds for the treatment of spinal cord injury.It discusses various types of scaffolds,their integrations with stem cells or growth factors,and approaches for optimization of scaffold design.
文摘Global marine ecosystems are signiicantly endangered by microplastic pollution,leading to comprehensive investigations into its distribution and impacts on the health of ecosystem.This research employs the Alseamar Autonomous Underwater Vehicle(AUV)known as Glider to investigate microplastic concentrations within the Al Hoceima Marine Protected Area(MPA).Our objective is to identify spatial patterns that reveal pollution hotspots and furnish data for targeted conservation efforts and pollution prevention.We aim to identify regions with elevated microplastic concentrations by meticulously analyzing microplastic level graphs,with a speciic focus on temporal variations.The results reveal notable patterns,such as increased densities aroundishing harbors and near urban centers,potentially linked to anthropogenic activities.Additionally,we observe variations in pollution levels throughout different glider operation cycles,underscoring the importance of understanding the spatio‑temporal dynamics of microplastic distribution.Al Hoceima Marine protected areas exhibiting lower microplastic concentrations illustrate the eficacy of such zones in alleviating pollution impacts,thereby underscoring the signiicance of conservation efforts in safeguarding marine biodiversity and ecosystem resilience.Ultimately,our research enhances our comprehension of the pressures exerted by humans on marine environments and underscores the necessity of proactive conservation measures to shield marine ecosystems from the threats posed by microplastic pollution.
