Scholars and practitioners have recently devoted increased attention to the psychological well-being of student-athletes. However, sparse research has examined the role of religion/spirituality in well-being in athletic populations. In a sample of U.S. collegiate athletes (N = 415), the present study assessed how the divine relationship, measured by attachment style to God, associates with depressive and anxiety symptoms in a sample of collegiate student-athletes, as well as the mediating role of contingent self-worth based on the approval of others in this process. Results show that secure attachment to God is associated with fewer mental illness symptoms, whereas avoidant and anxious attachment to God are associated with greater mental illness symptoms. Contingent self-worth based on others' approval partially mediates each of these associations. Implications for the religion and health literature and sport practitioners are discussed.

BSA/PEI/GOD modified cellulose nanocrystals for construction of hydrogel-based flexible glucose sensors for sweat detection.

J Mater Chem B

January 2025

School of Chemistry and Materials Science, Ludong University, Key Laboratory of High Performance and Functional Polymer in the Universities of Shandong Province, Collaborative Innovation Center of Shandong Province for High Performance Fibers and Their Composites, Yantai 264025, China.

With the miniaturization, integration and intelligence of sweat electrochemical sensor technology, hydrogel flexible sensors have demonstrated immense potential in the field of real-time and non-invasive personal health monitoring. However, it remains a challenge to integrate excellent mechanical properties, self-healing properties, and electrochemical sensing capabilities into the preparation of hydrogel-based flexible sensors. The utilization of CBPG (cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs)@bovine serum albumin (BSA)@polyethyleneimine (PEI) glucose oxidase (GOD) nanomaterial) as both an enhancing phase and sensor probe within a hydrogel matrix, with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) serving as the primary network constituent, has been proposed as a non-invasive technique for monitoring trace glucose levels in sweat.

A novel triple signal amplification platform of peroxide test strip for sensitive detection of adenosine triphosphate.

Talanta

March 2025

Key Laboratory of Luminescence Analysis and Molecular Sensing (Southwest University), Ministry of Education, College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Southwest University, Chongqing, 400715, China. Electronic address:

Peroxide test strip (PTS) has been widely used for the point-of-care testing (POCT), but its poor sensitivity is a big obstacle for analyzing trace target. Herein, a triple signal amplifying platform integrating the liposome enrichment, the hybridization chain reaction (HCR) circuit, and the image analysis method was constructed to enhance the visual readout of PTS for the sensitive detection of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), an important biomarker of food spoilage. In the presence of ATP, the HCR amplifier was firstly initiated on the surface of magnetic beads (MBs), inducing a large number of glucose oxidase (GOD) imbedded liposomes to be attached.
