Shоrt-Answer Optiоn 1: Yоur friend believes their аnxiety is cаused by "bаd energy" from their apartment and wants to perform a cleansing ritual. Another friend insists that anxiety is simply a chemical imbalance that requires medication to correct brain neurotransmitters. Identify which etiological theory each friend represents and describe the key differences between these two approaches to understanding mental illness. Short-Answer Option 2: A college student explains their depression by saying "I learned these negative thought patterns from my critical parents, and now I catastrophize every situation." A psychologist responds that the student's depression likely involves genetic predisposition, cognitive patterns, and social stressors all interacting together. Identify which etiological approach each perspective represents and explain how they differ in their understanding of causation and treatment implications. Short-Answer Option 3: Your psychology professor assigns students to observe and report their own thought processes during a problem-solving task. Explain how this connects to Wundt's introspection method and why Gestalt psychologists would object to this approach.

Sоft tissue injury cаn be cаused by trаumatic оr pathоlogical lesions when muscle or connective tissue gets damaged. *Please note that all of these subquestions are not dependent on one another, but it is helpful to go on order for clarity (in other words if you miss part A, you can still get full credit for subsequent parts and most errors shouldn't propagate down with subsequent questions)* A. (1 pt) Briefly compare/contrast autografts, allografts, and decellularized grafts. Then give at least one reason why you may want to design a biomaterial to replace impaired soft tissue instead of using a graft. Because of the many caveats and potential complications with using graft tissues, you’d like to design a biomaterial to replace an impaired soft tissue that will function to facilitate tissue regeneration by providing a small amount of structural support (only needs low mechanical strength temporarily) and controlled delivery of growth factors that will modulate inflammation and stimulate a natural healing process for local cells to grow into the biomaterial space. B. (.5 points) Should your implant be made of metal or polymer? Why? C. (.5 points) You first evaluated the biodegradation of your designed implant over the course of one week (in physiological aqueous environment). The compressive strength and the percent of polymer mass lost were measured at 1, 3, and 7 days (see graphs below). Based on the graphs, identify AND describe the type of degradation that is occurring. D. (.5 pts) You’d like to reduce the implant’s degradation rate. Briefly list two potential ways to do that (no explanation necessary). E. (.5 pts) Should your implant be smooth or rough? Why? Provide 1 sentence justification based on the problem statement given F. (1 pts) How can you measure the roughness of your implant? Name an appropriate technique & describe how it works (in 1 sentence). G. (1.5 pts) You would like to design this implant to have high protein adsorption to facilitate cell attachment and integration. You’d specifically like to enhance collagen type I adhesion, a largely hydrophobic protein. Should your material be hydrophobic or hydrophilic (.25 pts)? Briefly describe what the best analysis technique you would use to test your biomaterial’s wettability and describe how it works (.75 pts). To that end, briefly describe how this analysis would vary for a hydrophobic vs hydrophilic surface (.5 pts)? H. (1 pts) Now you want to specifically determine and visualize if and where collagen I adheres to your biomaterial. What method should you use and briefly describe the method? I. (1 pts) You decided to isolate the proteins attached to your surface and found 3 different proteins. You have performed REVERSE-PHASE HPLC to yield the following graphs. Briefly describe how HPLC works (.5 pts pts) and based on what you know about the hydrophobic nature of collagen I, determine which protein (A, B, or C) you suspect to be collagen I and describe why (.5 pts). J. (.75 pts) List at least 3 of the 6 functions of proteins that we discussed in the lectures K. (.5 pts) You would like to first determine the TOTAL amount of protein on your surface. Which assay would tell you information about the total protein content. You only need to name an assay and do not have to describe it. L. (.75 pts) Elastin (modeled here as protein E) is an important extracellular protein that provides elasticity to soft tissues in the body. You decide to use a simple Langmuir model to quantify the binding affinity coefficient, Ka, of elastin, to your biomaterial given the information gathered below when the system was at equilibrium. Calculate Ka of elastin with the given information: M. (1 pts) Since multiple proteins will competitively bind to your biomaterial surface, you decide to also consider the Vroman effect. You are interested in the competitive binding of BSA and Elastin since bovine serum albumin (BSA) is a protein found in blood serum. BSA has ka= 40 µM-1s-1 and kd= 1000s-1. Using the blank plot below, draw the predicted protein adsorption curves for BSA and Elastin if you added a solution containing 500 M BSA and 50 M protein B to your implant. Show your work. N. (1 pts) You’ve decided to do an ELISA on the medium released from cells cultured on your new implant to determine the amount of Collagen type I expressed. Your plate reader layout is shown below along with the COL-I concentrations used in your standard which was pipetted in triplicate at the COL-1 concentrations listed in the first row of the table. Briefly describe how an ELISA works (.5 pts), then determine the average concentration of your unknown sample (pipetted in triplicate in wells A9, B9, and C9) using linear interpolation between the two nearest concentrations. Show all work.
