Authors:   Lviv National Environmental University, Havryliuk Ivanna , Bulyk Oksana ,   Lviv National Environmental University
Published: September 2023

It is the properly chosen and best implemented marketing strategy that determines a company’s success at a foreign market. Marketing is an effective instrument for business development. A lot of enterprises which actively perform in the countries with the developed market economy plan their marketing strategy. Ukrainian companies should study and implement the experience, as well as develop effective foreign economic activity, because it contributes to growth of the domestic economy. The article studies the concept of “marketing strategy” used in the works of many economists. The relationship between the stages of development of international marketing and the stage of application of international marketing strategy is considered. Each stage of the foreign market selection process is analyzed and characterized. The article analyzes the problems of forming marketing strategies of Ukrainian producers for foreign markets. The work analyzes different ways for an enterprise to enter a foreign market and describes the most popular marketing strategies for a company to achieve the goal.

FUNDRAISING, GRANT WRITING AS A SPECIAL TOOL FOR RECONSTRUCTION IN UKRAINE DURING THE WAR AND POST-WAR TIMES
Authors:   Lviv University of Trade and Economics, Kobelya-Zvir Maryana
Published: September 2023

The article examines the main aspects of the use of fundraising and grantwriting tools, the prospects of their use for the reconstruction of Ukraine in war and post-war times. The main possibilities for the reconstruction of housing stock, communal, social and critical infrastructure are outlined. The main and largest grant programs from the USA, the European Union, and the government of Ukraine are described. It is considered under what conditions the process of attracting international technical assistance, in particular grants, is the most effective, taking into account the peculiarities of fundraising and grant writing. The prospects of their use to attract extra-budgetary alternative resources for the projects of authorities, local self-government, representatives of business and the public sector are demonstrated. The basic principles of fundraising and the aspects determining the active position of the grant writer are emphasized. The sluggish process of separating the knowledge of fundraising and grantwriting specialists into a separate professional category is analyzed. The reasons for the non-active and ineffective use of grant aid from our partners for the reconstruction of Ukraine are emphasized, namely: the absence of a culture of fundraising and grant writing in society, a shortage of qualified specialists of the appropriate profile, and a low level of public awareness of grant opportunities for the reconstruction of destroyed cities and Ukraine in general. It has been demonstrated under what conditions and in what form the attention of representatives of authorities, local self-government, business, the public, funds and grant programs to the aspects of fundraising and grant writing is manifested. It is concluded that the use of fundraising and grant writing tools to attract extra-budgetary, alternative resources is one of the most important prerequisites for the effective recovery of Ukraine in war and post-war times. Overcoming difficulties and obstacles is possible if the culture of fundraising and grantwriting is actively established in society, broad informational support from grantmakers, authorities and foundations, professionalization of grantwriting and fundraising.

The spread of remote and hybrid employment in Ukraine exacerbates the problems of achieving a work-life balance at the organizational and individual levels. The lack of effective work-life balance programs in companies causes numerous HR problems such as turnover, burnout, absenteeism, decreased loyalty and involvement, deterioration of employees' work-life quality. The relevance of this research is confirmed by modern practices of well-being management and working time management, which shows that a significant part of the workforce in the labor market of Ukraine needs work-life balance programs. The article's purpose is to analyze the theoretical and methodological basis for the development and implementation of work-life balance programs in modern Ukrainian business practice. To realize the goal in the article: theoretically substantiated approaches to understanding the essence of balance between work and personal life; systematized modern concepts and generalized theoretical models of work-life balance; analyzed approaches to determining the essence of work-life balance programs; systematized modern work-life balance software; optimal methods and tools for the formation of work-life balance programs for use in modern conditions in Ukraine are highlighted; recommendations were developed regarding directions and methods of their use in organizations. In the conditions of digitization, the spread of remote and hybrid employment, the imbalance between work and personal life is deepening. Without the proper time management, information management, interruption management, and stress management that is at the heart of worklife balance programs, tension and distraction create stress and overwhelm. It leads to a decrease in staff productivity, increased turnover, professional burnout, etc. Work-life balance programs are tools that help staff optimize time usage for work and personal tasks. These programs have different effects and should be differentiated depending on the individual needs of employees and the organization. Under these conditions, they contribute to the creation of more comfortable working conditions for employees, and the development of an organizational culture that supports a healthy balance between work and personal life. Such programs have become a necessity for companies wishing to retain talented employees and increase their efficiency. Examples of such practices can be very diverse and depend on the specific needs and capabilities of companies. Work-life balance is key to the health and happiness of employees, which in turn affects the success and prosperity of companies.

CEO Succession and Shared Leadership: Which factors shape firm performance?
Authors: Quarato Fabio , Cambrea Domenico Rocco , Laviola Francesco
Published: September 2023

This paper investigates the effect of CEO succession on the performance of family firms characterized by collegial leadership and the moderating role of the Family CEO, of the board of directors and by the size of the firm. The empirical analysis, carried out on a sample of Italian family firms for the years 2012-2016, shows a positive effect of succession on the performance of family businesses with shared leadership. Moreover, this relationship is negatively moderated by the composition of the co-leadership structure, the characteristics of the board of directors and the size of the firm.
Workplace Inclusivity: A Literature Review From a Strategy-As-Practice Perspective
Authors: Mukupa Sibongile Amy Katarina , Cristofaro Matteo , Giardino Pier Luigi
Published: September 2023

Inclusive work environments are more likely to attract and retain a diverse talent pool, improving business outcomes and competitive advantage. However, inclusivity has been treated as a sum of organizational behaviour norms elaborated by savvy organizations. In line with real-world practices, we advance that inclusivity is a strategic practice that emerges as an inter-related and co-evolving pool of influences from the individual, firm, and environment, elevating it as a strategic management topic. We implemented a systematic literature review (SLR) of selected contributions dealing with the role of workplace inclusivity. Collected papers have been analysed by considering the so-called strategy-as-practice (s-as-p) perspective (i.e., the doing of strategy, who does it, what they do, how they do it, what they use, and what implications this has for shaping strategy), hence, enriching strategy theory, empirical research, and real-world practice. We offer a typology of strategic inclusivity practices that scholars and practitioners can use to study workplace inclusivity strategically. The proposed typology identifies the different domains of inclusivity by considering the level of praxis and practitioners. This article is the first to provide an in-depth and broad review of inclusivity in the workplace via a strategic management lens.
An innovative approach for circular data-driven decision-making in the new normal scenario: Opportunities for the agri-food sector
Authors: Esposito Benedetta , Sica Daniela , Malandrino Ornella , Supino Stefania
Published: September 2023

This conceptual paper aims to develop an approach that integrates the circular economy paradigm (4-R) with the new pathway proposed by McKinsey & Company for the post-Covid-19 renaissance (5-R) to reimagine the post-pandemic context as a new normal scenario. From an ecosystem perspective, the authors highlight the interconnections between this approach and the widely adopted theories in circular economy studies – the Stakeholder Theory and the Resource-Based View Theory – to provide a resilient model for decision-makers. In this context, the paper spotlight on how digital technologies can represent the enabling factor for implementing the newly proposed approach. In particular, the authors suggest that this approach could be applied within the agri-food sector, characterised by complex supply chains, to cope with future challenges and become more resilient in the new normal scenario. Our contribution is crystallised into a series of research propositions on the intersection between circular economy and digital technology in the data-driven decision-making literature.
Il burnout del terapeuta: formazione, politiche professionali e ricerca come strumenti di prevenzione
Authors: Parolin Laura , Di Nuovo Santo , Migone Paolo , Spagnuolo Lobb Margherita , Tosi Silvia
Published: September 2023

L'obiettivo di questo articolo è quello di aprire una riflessione su quali competenze sono necessarie per poter stare vicino, a livello professionale, alla sofferenza umana. La condizione esistenziale e sociale delle persone oggi appare sempre più traumatica, così da richiedere mag-giori abilità cliniche ed emotive agli operatori della salute mentale, esposti ad un elevato rischio di burnout. La curatrice dell'articolo, in collaborazione con i colleghi del comitato editoriale, ha stimo-lato questa riflessione ponendo alcune domande in merito a come formare professionisti psico-terapeuti con un ground solido, con competenze specifiche che la formazione in psicoterapia deve sostenere, per poter accompagnare i pazienti attraverso la sofferenza. Si tratta di compe-tenze specifiche che differenziano questa da rispetto ad altre formazioni affini. Gli autori intervistati, tutti importanti esponenti della nostra professione inseriti in contesti significativi e strategici, hanno dato il loro contributo aiutandoci a trovare delle coordinate all'interno di questa complessità.
Il diritto e la responsabilità di prendersi cura di sé in uno sfondo post-pandemico
Authors: Cagiano Romina , Mione Maria
Published: September 2023

L'articolo delinea la relazione terapeutica in ottica gestaltica, evidenziando il ruolo dello psicoterapeuta nelle sue capacità e nei suoi limiti. L'obiettivo dell'articolo è quello di evidenzia-re il declinarsi delle varie competenze a cui lo psicoterapeuta attinge nella propria professione, sottolineando l'importanza del prendersi cura di sé, di cui lo psicoterapeuta ha il diritto e la re-sponsabilità di fronte ai propri pazienti. Il contesto storico-sociale degli ultimi anni e quello contemporaneo, nel quale la pandemia da COVID-19 ha assunto particolare rilevanza, solleci-tano a rinnovare le modalità del prendersi cura di sé, che trova la miglior forma nello spazio di supervisione individuale e di gruppo e nel percorso di psicoterapia personale. Tali spazi si con-figurano come uno sfondo comune da cui emergono figure in un processo di costante co-costruzione e che, proprio per questo, diventano, per il singolo psicoterapeuta partecipe, un luogo di incontro, dialogo, apprendimento e trasformazione.
"Il costo della cura": la relazione tra sindrome di burnout e la professione dello psicoterapeuta. Una rassegna sistematica della letteratura in chiave gestaltica
Authors: Cervellione Brenda , Cannavò Michele , Davì Dario
Published: September 2023

Obiettivo principale del presente studio è identificare le variabili connesse alla sindrome di burnout nel professionista della salute mentale, nello specifico dello psicoterapeuta attraverso una revisione sistematica, condotta secondo le linee guida PRISMA (Page et al., 2021), con un arco temporale che va dal 2012 a gennaio 2023. La selezione finale ha portato all'inclusione di 20 articoli trovati sui database Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, SocINDEX con Full Text, Education research Complete, APA PsycArticles (EBSCO); PubMed e Scopus. Le variabili "empatia" e "risonanza corporea" sono risultate fondamentali per stabilire una mi-gliore qualità della relazione terapeutica, risultato in linea con i dati già ottenuti dalla ricerca sulla psicoterapia della Gestalt (Spagnuolo Lobb et al., 2022a). Un obiettivo comune per i cli-nici potrebbe essere quello di potenziare le attività di co-visione e supervisione clinica, soste-nendo la risonanza estetica e di campo (Spagnuolo Lobb et al., 2022b).

"Osservare e imitare l'opera del metropolitano": l'educazione agricola degli africani nelle colonie italiane
Authors: De Robertis Riccardo
Published: September 2023

Dagli inizi del Novecento l'Italia cercò di avviare un più razionale sfruttamento agricolo del suo Oltremare. Al pari delle altre potenze coloniali europee si trovò ad affrontare anche la questione dell'"educazione agricola" dei sudditi africani, educazione che avrebbe dovuto ri- spondere tanto a esigenze politico-sociali quanto a quelle economiche finalizzate al miglio- ramento e all'aumento della produzione locale. Sulla base di fonti edite e inedite il presente contributo ricostruisce un quadro generale dell'istruzione agricola degli africani nelle colonie italiane prendendo in esame le riflessioni, i progetti e i risultati concreti di funzionari e agro- nomi dai primi anni del XX secolo sino al crollo dell'impero. L'articolo si pone l'obiettivo di chiarire quale fu il reale impegno dell'Italia liberale e soprattutto del fascismo su un aspetto importante dell'opera di propaganda agraria e quindi di assistenza tecnica nei confronti degli agricoltori africani.

Authors: De Ninno Fabio
Published: September 2023

La storiografia sulle forze armate del regime fascista conta ormai una produzione difficilmen- te riassumibile. Lo scopo di questa nota è affrontare gli studi con l'angolo prospettico offerto dalla storiografia internazionale degli ultimi anni. La nota evidenzierà le particolarità degli studi esteri rispetto a quelli italiani, focalizzando l'attenzione su alcune tematiche come il rapporto tra politica estera e guerra e la definizione della grande strategia del regime, la rivalutazione delle capacità di combattimento delle forze armate italiane, offrendo un confronto con la storiografia nazionale.
Antiprotestantesimo e prassi antievangeliche: un (contrastato) punto di convergenza tra Chiesa e Stato nell'Italia fascista
Authors: Zanini Paolo
Published: September 2023

Questa nota mira a ricostruire il dibattito storiografico sulle campagne antiprotestanti pro- mosse dal cattolicesimo italiano durante il fascismo, mettendo in luce come esse influenza- rono profondamente le politiche del regime nei confronti delle denominazioni protestanti. Si tratta di un dibattito rilevante, che ha avuto un primo punto di svolta negli anni Settanta, ar- ricchendosi notevolmente a partire dalla seconda metà degli anni Novanta. La nota, ricostru- ite le principali linee di sviluppo della storiografia, analizza gli aspetti ideologici e storici della polemica antiprotestante di parte cattolica, sottolineando il ruolo che essa ebbe nel deli- neare i più complessivi rapporti della Santa Sede con il fascismo. Al centro dell'analisi è an- che la politica del regime nei confronti delle religioni di minoranza, della quale emergono gli aspetti tattici e contingenti e l'assenza di qualunque compiuta riflessione sulla questione del- la libertà religiosa.
Storiografia ambientale e fascismo italiano: limiti e potenzialità
Authors: Biasillo Roberta
Published: September 2023

Questo contributo riflette criticamente sulle potenzialità e i limiti interpretativi della produ- zione storiografica ambientale italiana e internazionale sul fascismo italiano. Fatta eccezione per pochi pionieristici interventi legati al mondo dell'industria pubblicati negli anni Novan- ta, gli studi di storia ambientale del fascismo si sono sviluppati negli ultimi quindici anni. Da una iniziale attenzione al contenuto "verde", ai piani statali e alle fonti propagandistiche, essi hanno più recentemente guardato alle pratiche e hanno integrato l'ambiente nella e con la sto- ria sociale, economica, istituzionale, delle politiche del ventennio.
"Il Bastione del Levante": politiche coloniali nelle Isole Italiane dell'Egeo (1912-1945)
Authors: Castiglioni Luca
Published: September 2023

Fra il 1912 e il 1940 le autorità italiane del Dodecaneso implementarono politiche demografiche, culturali e sociali volte a delimitare un nuovo spazio imperiale: pratiche coloniali di violenza e repressione si affiancarono a pervasive politiche di assimilazione culturale e ideologica, volte a creare una nuova identità soggetta per gli abitanti delle isole. Questo contributo presenta, anche attraverso fonti locali italiane e non, alcuni meccanismi dal basso di questo sistema: la selezione demografica implementata a cavallo della guerra greco-turca; l'impatto della creazione della cittadinanza egea; le politiche scolastiche e la creazione di contenuti educativi specifici per i giovani egei. Questo programma e le strategie di sopravvivenza implementate dalle comunità; hanno plasmato la memoria locale: essa rappresenta il periodo italiano in una chiave alle volte contraddittoria, alternando il topos dei "bravi italiani" e il risentimento per la subita riduzione a uno status quasi coloniale.

Authors: Seidinova Madina , Ilyassova Gulzhazira
Published: September 2023

A comprehensive understanding of medicine and psychology is indispensable for successful surrogacy practices. This paper aims to provide a qualitative assess-ment of modern Kazakhstan's legislative regulation of surrogacy in light of con-temporary challenges. This paper intends to highlight some aspects of surrogacy law that have not been adequately expressed in Kazakhstan contract law. The study revealed that a number of issues in this area are not regulated by law in Ka-zakhstan, creating legal gaps and potential contract law issues. Preparing a docu-ment or official commentary addressing many issues in contractual relationships pertaining to surrogacy contracts could be an essential solution. Family and healthcare lawyers will find the information in this paper useful for their practices.

La démocratie du croire. Les républiques imaginées des réformés
Authors: Aberle Marc
Published: September 2023

« Le protestantisme seul nous donne la République » écrivait Michelet en 1856, en ayant en tête à la fois les origines de la Réforme au XVIe siècle et sa propre époque, au lendemain des révolutions de 1848. La formule frappe et elle semble annoncer ce que sera, en effet, le socle de la IIIe République. Pourtant Michelet est loin d’être le premier à s’emparer de cette idée et à suggérer une sorte d’affinité historique de long terme entre la révolution ecclésiastique protestante de la Renaissance et l’affirmation de nouvelles idées politiques, fondées sur la liberté, le libre examen ou le rejet des pouvoirs tyranniques. À sa façon, souvent prophétique, il reprend en fait des affirmations courantes depuis le milieu du XVIIIe siècle, souvent mobilisées de manière polémique, qui voyaient dans les idées issues de la Réforme un puissant ferment de transformation des sociétés européennes, pour s’en réjouir ou pour le déplorer comme chez Joseph de Maistre ou Louis de Bonald. Peut-on aujourd’hui suivre Michelet et considérer qu’il y a bien une forme de proximité entre protestantisme, république et démocratie ? Pour ne pas céder à une illusion rétrospective qui nous ferait prendre les combats de la IIIe République et les prémonitions de Michelet pour une vérité, pour ne pas inventer une généalogie politique improbable entre Luther, Zwingli ou Calvin et les républicains du XIXe siècle, Marc Aberle fait le choix d’une enquête à rebours, qui nous ramène au passé pour comprendre le triomphe moderne de la République.

Protection of the rights of the victim: methodological foundations of the institute of compensation for harm
Authors: Tarnavskiy Oleg
Published: September 2023

In the criminal process, the methodology of legal regulation is determined by the appointment of state bodies and officials called upon to protect victims from crimes, as well as citizens from illegal and unjustified criminal prosecution. However, as the long-term practice of implementing the current mechanism of legal regulation of criminal procedural relations through the institution of compensation for harm to victims shows, the level of protection of these persons remains low. The origins of this problem are seen in the absence of a unified theoretical model and the quality of legislative technique. As a result of the conducted research, positive transformations in the criminal process of recent years have been identified – the figure of the victim of a crime is gradually becoming a key one in the context of the amendments made to the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation in December 2018. But the improvement of the criminal procedure mechanism should not be a point, but a systematic reform of the goals, objectives and principles of all criminal procedure activities with an emphasis on the compensatory mechanism of legal regulation.
About some stages of re-socialization of convicts in correctional institutions and measures taken to improve its effectiveness
Authors: Fomin Vasiliy Vasil’evich , Luk'janova Elena
Published: September 2023

The problems of re-socialization and social adaptation of convicts to imprisonment currently remain unresolved. The re–socialization of convicts in correctional institutions is a long and complex process, which is based on a complex of psychological, pedagogical, socio-economic, medical and organizational measures aimed at forming convicts' ability and readiness to return to normal life in freedom after release. It is necessary to improve the forms and methods of educational work with convicts in correctional institutions, to improve their legal culture, to provide them with legal assistance. It also requires a professional approach to the organization of the educational process of convicts, involving them in socially useful work. The article discusses various points of view regarding the concept and essence of the resocialization of convicts, some problematic stages of the resocialization of convicts in correctional institutions of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia in the Ryazan region, formulated proposals aimed at improving the effectiveness of this activity.
Towards In-line Control of Continuous Resistance Welding for Joining Structural Thermoplastic Composites
Authors: Palardy-Sim Marc , Barroeta Robles Julieta , Octeau Marc-André , Roy Steven , Yousefpour Ali , Atkinson Stephen , Nesbitt Scott , Vaziri Reza , Poursartip Anoush , Endrass Manuel , Larsen Lars , Kupke Michael
Published: September 2023

The continuous resistance welding (CRW) process consists of an end-effector which moves along the length of a weld seam, heating a conductive implant while compacting the joint locally throughout the melt and solidification stages of the thermoplastic material. The performance of the joint has been shown to be highly dependent on the process temperature at the weld interface; however, this cannot be measured directly during the process in a non-invasive manner. Other parameters such as boundary conditions, substructure properties, or part geometry may vary along the length of the weld. As such, a physics-based simulation is developed founded upon an “MSTEP” framework which defines how the materials (M), shape (S), tooling (T), and equipment (E) interact to determine the process (P). Detailed finite element (FE) models are developed for thermal analysis based on the weld geometry, boundary conditions, and previously developed and validated melt/crystallization models for the thermoplastic matrix. Experimental CRW tests are presented to validate simulations and calibrate suitable control variables.

Published: September 2023

The development of ecotourism in Malaysia is crucial in the current digitalized world, as nature enthusiasts seek authentic travel experiences to reconnect with the environment. This study focuses on investigating the link between government tourism policy, health services, safety and security, destination competitiveness, and the moderating effect of mobile technology. The study was conducted on 170 domestic tourists who visited various national parks in Sarawak, Malaysia. The data collected has undergone preliminary analyses using SPSS 26.0 while the proposed study model was evaluated using WarpPLS 8.0, which allowed for path modelling and bootstrapping to obtain the estimates of standard error and p-values. The results indicated a significant direct relationship between health services and destination competitiveness. Mobile technology was found to moderate the relationship between government tourism policy, safety and security, and destination competitiveness. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the study was limited to domestic tourists, and the implications of these findings are discussed.

Participants of the study were 2nd year students from different Higher Education Institutions in Region XI, Philippines. Further, to gather data relative to the research questions, the researcher used adapted survey tools and an interview guide. Results showed that students always observed the competence of their teachers, with a favorable laboratory environment in an online setting leading to the acquisition of science process skills. Furthermore, regarding the relationship of variables, the study revealed that the competency of teachers did not have a significant relationship with students’ science process skills. At the same time, there was a considerable correlation between the laboratory environment in an online setting and students’ science process skills. The students’ lived experiences in acquiring science process skills formed essential themes. Moreover, there was a merging-converging nature of the competency of teachers and the laboratory environment in an online setting and a merging-diverging character on students’ science process skills and significant influence of the variables under study. Results of the study will help the teachers identify the factors that can affect the acquisition of science process skills of students in an online learning environment and develop intervention programs to ensure globally competitive graduates. It is further believed that this study will benefit the institution, teachers, and most especially the students who were the main reason for the teaching and learning process. Hence, future studies may be conducted by academic scholars or researchers based on the information gathered from this research. Areas of interest can be other factors that affect the students’ acquisition of science process skills and utilize a comparative study involving different courses with chemistry laboratory subjects.

This paper aims to review and assess the strategies available in literature to improve the practices of science process skills (SPS) among students. SPS encompasses the mental and physical activities of students in collecting and organizing information and then using the information to make predictions, explain phenomena, solve problems, understand the scientific endeavor, and learn science. Students were required to develop and use these skills in the teaching and learning process. The commonly identified and described SPS are observation, measuring, classifying, communicating, predicting, inferring, using numbers, using space/time relationship, questioning, identifying and controlling variables, hypothesizing, defining operationally, designing experiments, interpreting data, and modeling. These skills are important for students as tools for exploration and investigation of the natural world, improving academic achievements and attitudes towards science, learning science with understanding, and promoting development of mental and intellectual processes. From the literature reviewed the following strategies were recognized for the development of SPS in students: integration of SPS in curriculum materials, classroom lessons and assessments, use of instructional strategies or methods, and providing explicit instruction or training on SPS. The instructional strategies identified for enhancing SPS were student-centered teaching methods and multiple representation approaches. Student-centered teaching approaches promote the development of SPS in students by engaging them in mind-on and hand-on activities. Multiple representation approaches involve presenting lessons by using a combination of various teaching methods or various media in the same lesson and are found important for SPS development in students. Therefore, it was recommended to use these strategies for developing SPS to attain science education goals.

Background: MicroRNA-216a-5p (miR-216a-5p) mediates inflammatory responses and neuronal injury to participate in the pathology of spinal cord injury (SCI). This study intended to explore the engagement of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell exosomes (BMSC-Exo)-derived miR-216a-5p in locomotor performance, neuronal injury, and microglia-mediated inflammation in SCI rats.

Methods: Rat BMSC or BMSC-Exo was injected into SCI rats. GW4869 treatment was adopted to suppress the exosome secretion from BMSC. Subsequently, miR-216a-5p-overexpressed BMSC-Exo (BMSC-miR-Exo) or negative-control-overexpressed BMSC-Exo (BMSC-NC-Exo) were injected into SCI rats.

Results: The injection of BMSC or BMSC-Exo enhanced locomotor performance reflected by Basso, Beattie & Bresnahan score (p < 0.001), and neuronal viability reflected by NeuN+ cells (p < 0.01), but attenuated neuronal apoptosis reflected by TUNEL positive rate, cleaved-caspase-3 expression, and B-cell leukemia/lymphoma-2 expression (p < 0.05). Additionally, the injection of BMSC or BMSC-Exo suppressed microglia M1 polarization-mediated inflammation reflected by IBA1+iNOS+ cells, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6 (p < 0.01). Notably, the effect of BMSC on the above functions was retarded by the GW4869 treatment (most p < 0.05). Subsequently, the injection of BMSC-miR-Exo further improved locomotor performance (p < 0.05), while inhibiting neuronal apoptosis (p < 0.05) and microglia M1 polarization-mediated inflammation (p < 0.05) compared to BMSC-NC-Exo. Interestingly, the injection of BMSC-miR-Exo reduced toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) (p < 0.01), myeloid differentiation factor 88 (p < 0.05), and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) (p < 0.05) expressions versus BMSC-NC-Exo.

Conclusion: BMSC-Exo-derived miR-216a-5p enhances functional recovery by attenuating neuronal injury and microglia-mediated inflammation in SCI, which may be attributable to its inhibition of the TLR4/NF-κB pathway.

Background: Tanshinone IIA, derived from Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae (Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge), constitutes a significant component of this traditional Chinese medicine. Numerous studies have reported positive outcomes regarding its influence on cardiac function. However, a comprehensive comprehension of the intricate mechanisms responsible for its cardioprotective effects is still lacking.

Methods: A rat model of heart failure (HF) induced by acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was established via ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery. Rats received oral administration of tanshinone IIA (1.5 mg/kg) and captopril (10 mg/kg) for 8 weeks. Cardiac function was assessed through various evaluations. Histological changes in myocardial tissue were observed using staining techniques, including Hematoxylin and Eosin (HE), Masson, and transmission electron microscopy. Tunel staining was used to detect cell apoptosis. Serum levels of NT-pro-BNP, IL-1β, and IL-18 were quantified using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Expression levels of TLR4, NF-κB p65, and pyroptosis-related proteins were determined via western blotting (WB). H9C2 cardiomyocytes underwent hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) to simulate ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, and cell viability and apoptosis were assessed post treatment with different tanshinone IIA concentrations (0.05 μg/ml, 0.1 μg/ml). ELISA measured IL-1β, IL-18, and LDH expression in the cell supernatant, while WB analysis evaluated TLR4, NF-κB p65, and pyroptosis-related protein levels. NF-κB p65 protein nuclear translocation was observed using laser confocal microscopy.

Results: Tanshinone IIA treatment exhibited enhanced cardiac function, mitigated histological cardiac tissue damage, lowered serum levels of NT-pro-BNP, IL-1β, and IL-18, and suppressed myocardial cell apoptosis. Moreover, tanshinone IIA downregulated the expression of TLR4, NF-κB p65, IL-1β, pro-IL-1β, NLRP3, Caspase-1, and GSDMD-N pyroptosis-related proteins in myocardial tissue. Additionally, it bolstered H/R H9C2 cardiomyocyte viability, curbed cardiomyocyte apoptosis, and reduced the levels of TLR4, NF-κB p65, IL-1β, pro-IL-1β, NLRP3, Caspase-1, and GSDMD-N pyroptosis-related proteins in H/R H9C2 cells. Furthermore, it hindered NF-κB p65 protein nuclear translocation.

Conclusion: These findings indicate that tanshinone IIA enhances cardiac function and alleviates myocardial injury in HF rats following AMI. Moreover, tanshinone IIA demonstrates potential suppression of cardiomyocyte pyroptosis. These effects likely arise from the inhibition of the TLR4/NF-κB p65 signaling pathway, presenting a promising therapeutic target.
