文摘BACKGROUND Return to work(RTW)serves as an indication for young and middle-aged colorectal cancer(CRC)survivors to resume their normal social lives.However,these survivors encounter significant challenges during their RTW process.Hence,scientific research is necessary to explore the barriers and facilitating factors of returning to work for young and middle-aged CRC survivors.AIM To examine the current RTW status among young and middle-aged CRC survivors and to analyze the impact of RTW self-efficacy(RTW-SE),fear of progression(FoP),eHealth literacy(eHL),family resilience(FR),and financial toxicity(FT)on their RTW outcomes.METHODS A cross-sectional investigation was adopted in this study.From September 2022 to February 2023,a total of 209 participants were recruited through a convenience sampling method from the gastrointestinal surgery department of a class A tertiary hospital in Chongqing.The investigation utilized a general information questionnaire alongside scales assessing RTW-SE,FoP,eHL,FR,and FT.To analyze the factors that influence RTW outcomes among young and middle-aged CRC survivors,Cox regression modeling and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis were used.RESULTS A total of 43.54%of the participants successfully returned to work,with an average RTW time of 100 days.Cox regression univariate analysis revealed that RTW-SE,FoP,eHL,FR,and FT were significantly different between the non-RTW and RTW groups(P<0.05).Furthermore,Cox regression multivariate analysis identified per capita family monthly income,job type,RTW-SE,and FR as independent influencing factors for RTW(P<0.05).CONCLUSION The RTW rate requires further improvement.Elevated levels of RTW-SE and FR were found to significantly increase RTW among young and middle-aged CRC survivors.Health professionals should focus on modifiable factors,such as RTW-SE and FR,to design targeted RTW support programs,thereby facilitating their timely reintegration into mainstream society.
文摘BACKGROUND Patients with depression following coronary heart disease often exhibit insufficient psychological resilience and self-care abilities;therefore,emphasis must be placed on nursing interventions.AIM To analyze the application value of problem-oriented education combined with nursing interventions based on the Snyder hope theory model in depressed patients after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).METHODS This study included 150 patients diagnosed with PCI postoperative depression because of coronary heart disease between February 2022 and February 2024.Participants were divided into two groups:A control group(n=75)receiving problem-oriented education and an observation group(n=75)receiving combined nursing interventions based on the Snyder hope theory model.Depression status,psychological resilience,self-care ability,and quality of life were compared between the two groups.RESULTS Before nursing interventions,there were no significant differences between the two groups(P>0.05).After the interventions,depression scores decreased while psychological resilience,self-care ability,and quality of life scores increased significantly in the observation group compared to that in the control group,with statistically significant differences noted(P<0.05).This combined approach can enhance psychological resilience,improve self-care abilities,and elevate the overall quality of life,warranting further promotion in clinical practice.CONCLUSION Combination of problem-oriented education and nursing interventions based on the Snyder hope theory model effectively alleviates depression in patients following PCI for coronary heart disease.
文摘Bubbles play crucial roles in various fields,including naval and ocean engineering,chemical engineering,and biochemical engineering.Numerous theoretical analyses,numerical simulations,and experimental studies have been conducted to reveal the mysteries of bubble motion and its mechanisms.These efforts have significantly advanced research in bubble dynamics,where theoretical study is an efficient method for bubble motion prediction.Since Lord Rayleigh introduced the theoretical model of single-bubble motion in incompressible fluid in 1917,theoretical studies have been pivotal in understanding bubble dynamics.This study provides a comprehensive review of the development and applicability of theoretical studies in bubble dynamics using typical theoretical bubble models across different periods as a focal point and an overview of bubble theory applications in underwater explosion,marine cavitation,and seismic exploration.This study aims to serve as a reference and catalyst for further advancements in theoretical analysis and practical applications of bubble theory across marine fields.

文摘Moles exhibit highly effective capabilities due to their unique body structures and digging techniques,making them ideal models for biomimetic research.However,a major challenge for mole-inspired robots lies in overcoming resistance in granular media when burrowing with forelimbs.In the absence of effective forepaw design strategies,most robotic designs rely on increased power to enhance performance.To address this issue,this paper employs Resistive Force Theory to optimize mole-inspired forepaws,aiming to enhance burrowing efficiency.By analyzing the relationship between geometric parameters and burrowing forces,we propose several forepaw design variations.Through granular resistance assessments,an effective forepaw configuration is identified and further refined using parameters such as longitudinal and transverse curvature.Subsequently,the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm is applied to determine the optimal forepaw design.In force-loading tests,the optimized forepaw demonstrated a 79.44%reduction in granular lift force and a 22.55%increase in propulsive force compared with the control group.In robotic burrowing experiments,the optimized forepaw achieved the longest burrow displacement(179.528 mm)and the lowest burrowing lift force(0.9355 mm/s),verifying its effectiveness in reducing the lift force and enhancing the propulsive force.

文摘Flexoelectricity refers to the link between electrical polarization and strain gradient fields in piezoelectric materials,particularly at the nano-scale.The present investigation aims to comprehensively focus on the static bending analysis of a piezoelectric sandwich functionally graded porous(FGP)double-curved shallow nanoshell based on the flexoelectric effect and nonlocal strain gradient theory.Two coefficients that reduce or increase the stiffness of the nanoshell,including nonlocal and length-scale parameters,are considered to change along the nanoshell thickness direction,and three different porosity rules are novel points in this study.The nanoshell structure is placed on a Pasternak elastic foundation and is made up of three separate layers of material.The outermost layers consist of piezoelectric smart material with flexoelectric effects,while the core layer is composed of FGP material.Hamilton’s principle was used in conjunction with a unique refined higher-order shear deformation theory to derive general equilibrium equations that provide more precise outcomes.The Navier and Galerkin-Vlasov methodology is used to get the static bending characteristics of nanoshells that have various boundary conditions.The program’s correctness is assessed by comparison with published dependable findings in specific instances of the model described in the article.In addition,the influence of parameters such as flexoelectric effect,nonlocal and length scale parameters,elastic foundation stiffness coefficient,porosity coefficient,and boundary conditions on the static bending response of the nanoshell is detected and comprehensively studied.The findings of this study have practical implications for the efficient design and control of comparable systems,such as micro-electromechanical and nano-electromechanical devices.

文摘Due to its synergistic effects and reduced side effects,combination therapy has become an important strategy for treating complex diseases.In traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),the“monarch,minister,assistant,envoy”compatibilities theory provides a systematic framework for drug compatibility and has guided the formation of a large number of classic formulas.However,due to the complex compositions and diverse mechanisms of action of TCM,it is difficult to comprehensively reveal its potential synergistic patterns using traditional methods.Synergistic prediction based on molecular compatibility theory provides new ideas for identifying combinations of active compounds in TCM.Compared to resource-intensive traditional experimental methods,artificial intelligence possesses the ability to mine synergistic patterns from multi-omics and structural data,providing an efficient means for modeling and optimizing TCM combinations.This paper systematically reviews the application progress of AI in the synergistic prediction of TCM active compounds and explores the challenges and prospects of its application in modeling combination relationships,thereby contributing to the modernization of TCM theory and methodological innovation.

文摘Public participation is crucial in mitigating disasters.Stemming from the ongoing debate on benefit-and risk-driven approaches to landslide mitigation,this study seeks to uncover the factors and underlying mechanisms that affect farmers'willingness to participate in landslide prevention and mitigation(WPLPM).Conducted in Heifangtai,Gansu Province,China,renowned as the"landslide natural laboratory",this research employs multiple linear regression analysis on data from 399 questionnaires to pinpoint the key determinants of farmers'WPLPM.The findings reveal:(1)the"risk perception paradox"exists—farmers have high-risk perception but low WPLPM;(2)the impact of risk perception on WPLPM is tempered by self-efficacy related to fund,learning ability,and operation ability,offering an insight into the"risk perception paradox";and(3)There are significant positive influences of farmers'benefit perception,social network,and perceived responsibility on their WPLPM.Based on these insights,the study offers targeted policy recommendations.
文摘BACKGROUND Patients with gastric cancer(GC)frequently experience notable psychological distress,which often manifests as anxiety and depression.Identifying key contributing factors is essential for developing effective interventions to improve mental health outcomes.AIM To investigate the relationships between anxiety/depression,self-efficacy,and social support in patients with GC and identified significant risk factors.METHODS We enrolled 124 patients with GC undergoing treatment at Chongqing University Cancer Hospital between May 2021 and May 2024.Information regarding the patients’anxiety and depression evaluated by the hospital anxiety and depression scale(HADS),[including a subscale for anxiety(HADS-A)and a separate subscale for depression(HADS-D)]self-efficacy,measured by the general self-efficacy scale(GSES),and social support,assessed by the perceived social support scale(PSSS),was gathered.Relationships among HADS,GSES,and PSSS scores were determined through Pearson correlation analysis.Risk factors for anxiety and depression among patients with GC were identified using univariate and multivariate analyses,specifically binary logistic regression.RESULTS The obtained data demonstrated mild psychological distress(mean HADS-A:8.74±3.70;mean HADS-D:10.26±3.84),suboptimal self-efficacy levels(GSES:17.81±5.45),and moderate social support(PSSS:56.27±11.28).Correlational analysis revealed significant inverse relationships between psychological distress(anxiety and depression)and both social support and self-efficacy(P<0.01),with self-efficacy showing a strong positive association with social support(P<0.01).Univariate analysis revealed that gender,age,clinical stage,tumor size,GSES,and PSSS were closely associated with anxiety and depression in patients with GC.Multivariate logistic regression identified three independent predictors of these mood disturbances:Advanced age(≥60),large tumor size(≥3 cm),and diminished GSES scores(<18).CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that patients with GC generally experience mild anxiety and depression,which are closely related to low self-efficacy and insufficient social support.Age,tumor size,and low self-efficacy are independent predictors of anxiety and depression.In clinical practice,psychosocial interventions should be integrated,with a focus on high-risk populations,to improve patients’mental health.

文摘BACKGROUND Postpartum depression(PPD)represents a significant public health concern,adversely affecting both new mothers and their infants.Despite routine early screening,PPD can persist beyond the initial postpartum months,with notably high incidence rates even one year after childbirth.Persistent PPD has been associated with poor developmental outcomes in infants,highlighting the need for continued monitoring and support during this critical period.Understanding the broader impacts of persistent PPD is essential for developing effective interventions to improve maternal and infant well-being.AIM To explore the impact of persistent PPD on infant developmental behavior and maternal self-efficacy.METHODS We recruited 60 postpartum women who experienced persistent depression after childbirth in our hospital from January 2020 to December 2024 as the research subjects.The study collected basic characteristics of both infants and mothers,analyzed the self-efficacy of the mothers and the developmental behaviors of the infants,and conducted a correlation analysis to examine the relationship between postpartum persistent depression in mothers and the developmental behaviors and self-efficacy of infants.The Bootstrap method was used to verify the significance of the mediating effect.RESULTS The basic characteristics of infants and mothers show that 53.33%are male,58.33%are born via vaginal delivery,88.33%have a normal body mass index,51.67%are aged between 25 and 29 years,70%are non-agricultural workers,51.67%have a per capita household income over 4000 yuan,96.67%are full-term births,and 58.33%of the fathers are aged between 26 and 32 years.In terms of infant development behavior,the gross motor skills score is relatively low(38.44±12.15).Regarding maternal self-efficacy,the skill score(45.68±5.49)and mental activity score(46.37±3.72)are both at a low level.Correlation analysis reveals that postpartum persistent depression is significantly negatively correlated with maternal self-efficacy and infant development behavior(β=-0.439,-0.657,P<0.001),while self-efficacy is positively correlated with infant development behavior(β=0.728,P<0.001).The path coefficient and Bootstrap method test indicate that self-efficacy acts as a mediator between postpartum persistent depression and infant development behavior,accounting for 54.80%of the effect(P<0.05),while the direct effect of postpartum persistent depression on infant development behavior is 45.20%(P<0.05).CONCLUSION Persistent PPD significantly negatively impacts infant developmental outcomes,with maternal self-efficacy serving as a partial mediator.These findings suggest that interventions targeting both depressive symptoms and selfenhancement may effectively promote infant health development.
