Objective:To discuss the situation and differences of primary and secondary school teachers'job characteristics between mainland China and Hong Kong in order to provide the basis for improvement of job charac-teristics.Methods:A total of 504 teachers (242 in mainland China and 262 in Hong Kong)were chosen to com-plete the Job Characteristics Scale of Primary and Secondary School Teachers (including job demands sub-question-naire of six factors and job resources sub-questionnaire of six factors).Results:Teachers'job demands and job re-sources scores in both two areas were higher than the median 3.The scores of workload,emotional demands, student's misbehavior,role stress,and hard ware conditions,autonomy,work reward of Hong Kong teachers were higher than mainland China teachers(Ps <0.05),while the coworker support score was opposite.In addition,there were gender difference in workload and occupation moral requirements in Mainland China (Ps <0.05),as well as work age difference in workload,occupation moral requirements,organizational support,coworker support,hardware conditions and work reward,while school stage difference in organizational support,hardware conditions and work reward in Hong Kong (Ps <0.05).Conclusion:It suggests that teachers'job characteristics are both high demands-high resourcestype in the two areas,but the highdegree and the demographic characteristics are different.

Aim To investigate the effect of resveratrol (Res)on septic mice and LPS-insulted H9c2 cells,as well as its involved mechanisms.Methods By use of a mouse cecal ligation and puncture-induced septic model (CLP),the survival of septic mice was evalua-ted after resveratrol treatments.H9c2 cells were insul-ted by LPS and then treated with resveratrol,the mR-NA expressions of TNF-α,SIRT1 and other class III HDAC members were detected using RT-PCR and real-time PCR,Finally,the protein levels of nuclear p65, an important subunit of NF-κB,were measured in H9c2 cells using Western blot assay,to reveal the effect of resveratrol on LPS-induced nuclear transloca-tion of NF-κB.Results Compared with the control septic animals,intraperitoneal injection of resveratrol (1 or 5 mg·kg -1 ·d -1 )significantly increased the survival of septic mice.Furthermore,resveratrol signif-icantly increased mRNA expressions of SIRT1,SIRT2, SIRT6 and SIRT7 in LPS-insulted H9c2 cells.Res-veratrol also remarkably inhibited LPS-induced nuclear translocation of NF-κB.Conclusion An appropriate dose of resveratrol protects septic mouse hearts from the injury induced by LPS through the activation of SIRT family members and the inhibition of NF-κB pathway.

Purpose To investigate the expression of miR-134 in breast carcinoma and its c1inica1 significance,and to ana1yze the as-sociation between its expression with bio-markers of epithe1ia1-mesenchyma1 transition( EMT). Methods The expression of miR-134 in 97 breast cancer samp1es was detected by in situ hybridization and the expression of E-cadherin,N-cadherin,and vimentin was de-tected by MaxVision two-step method of immunohistochemistry,to ana1yze the re1ationship between their expression and c1inicopatho1og-ica1 characteristics. Results The expression of miR-134 in breast cancer was negative1y associated with higher histo1ogica1 grade, HER-2 overexpression,1ow expression of E-cadherin as we11 as high expression of N-cadherin and vimentin. Both 1ow-expression of E-cadherin and up-expression of N-cadherin and vimentin in breast cancer were positive1y corre1ated with higher histo1ogica1 grade,1ymph node invo1vement and HER-2 overexpression,whi1e negative1y associated with the expression of ER and PR. Conclusion The expres-sion of miR-134 in breast cancer tissue is negative1y re1ated to both the ma1ignant progression and EMT,indicating that it might be a potentia1 bio-marker for breast cancer.

Objective To assess the clinical outcomes about the visual qulitity of toric implantable contact lens ( TICL) implantation for high myopia with astigmatism. Methods Fifty-two eyes of 27 patients that underwent TICL implantation were examined. Uncorrected visual acuity( UCVA) ,best corrected visual acuity( BCVA) ,refraction,contrast sensitivity ( CS) with and without glare were evaluated before and after the treatment. Results Significant improvement in UCVA and BCVA were found at 1 month and 6 months after treatment (P<0. 05). The refraction at 1 month ( -0. 56 ± 0. 42)D and 6 months ( -0. 58 ± 0. 22)D after treatment were of no significant difference (P>0. 05), and the astigmatism at 1 month ( -0. 35 ± 0. 60)D and 6 months ( -0. 31 ± 0. 42)D after treatment were of no significant difference either (P>0. 05). The CS with and without glare were all significantly better than results before operation for 6. 0,12. 0 and 18. 0 cycles/degree (P<0. 05),but there were no significant difference between 1 month and 6 months after treatment (P>0. 05). No significant difference were found preoperatively,1 month after treatment and 6 months after treatment in terms of CS with and without glare (P>0. 05). The satisfaction of this investigation was 100%. Conclusion The TICL performed well in correcting high myopia with astigmatism,and it is a good surgical option for the treatment.
