Based on the conservation of resource theory, we proposed a two-path model to examine the double-edged sword effects of career calling on occupational embeddedness via work–family conflict (WFC) and career adaptability. The proposed theoretical model and hypotheses were tested by structural equation modeling technology with a sample of nurses from five hospitals in China (total N = 368). Career calling has a double-edged sword effect on occupational embeddedness via WFC and career adaptability. Career calling has positive effects on WFC and career adaptability. WFC and career adaptability, in turn, negatively and positively influence occupational embeddedness, respectively. In addition to the well-established positive effects, career calling may also have adverse effects on occupational outcomes. Given the worldwide shortage of nursing staff, how career calling affects nurses' occupational embeddedness needs to be more understood. This study highlights the importance of career calling and occupational embeddedness. Nurse managers need to improve the level of nurses' career adaptability and reduce their level of WFC and hence increase their occupational embeddedness.

Objective To explore the effect of the rehabilitation self-efficacy of patient with total knee arthroplasty on the first time of ambulation after operation.Methods Totally 110 patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty were recruited,they were investigated with self-designed general information and disease situation questionnaire and recorded the first time of ambulation.The self-efficacy was measured by the Self-Efficacy for Rehabilitation outcome scale(SER).Results The earliest time of ambulation was 7.5 hours after surgery.The latest time of ambulation was 54.0 hours after surgery.The median time of the first ambulation was 46.0 h.The mean score of self-efficacy for rehabilitation therapy exercises was (28.58 ± 9.18) points,and the mean score of self-efficacy in overcoming barriers was (43.07 ± 11.04) points,and the mean score of SER was (71.65 ± 18.47) points.The total score of self-efficacy for rehabilitation therapy exercises,self-efficacy in overcoming barriers,and the score of SER were negatively correlated with the first time of ambulation (r=-0.442,-0.299,-0.399,P＜ 0.01).The self-efficacy of rehabilitation was one of the influencing factors of patient's first time of ambulation(P ＜ 0.05),which explained 9.7％ of total variance of early ambulation of patients with total knee arthroplasty.Conclusions The self-efficacy of rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty was significantly correlated with the first time of ambulation,and the higher self-efficacy of rehabilitation,the earlier the first time of ambulation.The self-efficacy of rehabilitation was one of the important factors that affect the first time of the patient's ambulation after total knee arthroplasty.

A total of 6 patients were treated with surface knee joint prosthesis combined with 3D-printed customized bionic tibial block for reconstruction of bone defect after giant cell tumor (GCT) in proximal tibia (1 male and 5 females, aged 50, 40, 68, 53, 35, 42, respectively). 3 patients with primary and 3 patients with recurrence of GCT. After resection of the tumor, the bone defect was filled with 3D-printed block combined with surface knee prosthesis, the surrounding ligaments were reconstructed with microporous structure and artificial mesh. All cases were followed up for 60, 90, 60, 60, 75, and 50 months, respectively. During the follow-up, there was no local recurrence, no radiolucent lines around prosthesis, and no signs of loosening. The clinical scores of the American Knee Society Score (KSS) were 87, 92, 85, 90, 95 and 78. The functional scores were 70, 100, 70, 100, 100 and 80 respectively. Musculoskeletal Tumor Society Score (MSTS) were 27, 28, 26, 26, 26, 27, respectively. Surface knee prosthesis combined with bionic block can effectively fill the bone defect after resection of GCT in proximal tibia, achieve anatomical and functional reconstruction of knee joint.

BACKGROUND: Simple nanotube surface modification of titanium implant has been shown to promote adhesion, proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts. Collagen coating can promote osteoblast adhesion and osseointegration in vivo. OBJECTⅠVE: To observe the effects of type collagen combined titanium dioxide nanotube composite coating modified titanium surface on osteoblast adhesion in vitro and osseointegration in vivo. METHODS: The titanium dioxide nanotube was fabricated on the pure titanium surface, then type Ⅰ collagen was combined with the nanotube structure to form composite coating. Scanning electron microscope observation was used to characterize the surface topography of the pure titanium, titanium dioxide nanotube and type Ⅰ collagen combined titanium dioxide nanotube surfaces. Contact angle test was employed to evaluate the hydrophilicity of different samples. MC3 T3-E1 murine preosteoblasts were seeded on the three kinds of materials for 4 hours. Cell adhesion morphology was examined by scanning electron microscope. Adherent cell counting was detected under inverted fluorescence microscope. Expression of actin cytoskeleton and vinculin was observed under laser scanning confocal microscope. The gene expression of vinculin and osteoprotegerin mRNA was detected by real-time quantitative PCR. The three kinds of samples were implanted into the tibia of Sprague-Dawley rats (provided by Laboratory Animal Center, Ⅰnstitute of Radiation Medicine, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences) , and tibia samples were removed after 4 weeks of implantation for biological push-out test and histological observation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSⅠON: (1) Scanning electron microscope: There was mechanical scratch on the pure titanium surface. There was controllable, and uniform vertical arrangement of nanotubular structures with a diameter of approximately 70 nm on the titanium dioxide nanotube surface, and collagen adhered surrounding the nanotubular structures on the type Ⅰ collagen combined titanium dioxide nanotube substrate, and partial tubule orifices were closed. (2) The hydrophicility of type Ⅰ collagen combined titanium dioxide nanotube was significantly larger than those of the other two materials (P < 0.05) . (3) Compared with the pure titanium and titanium dioxide nanotube surfaces, the type Ⅰ collagen combined titanium dioxide nanotube substrate displayed increased adherent cell number, much well-organized cytoskeleton, enhanced immunofluorescence intensity of vinculin protein staining, and increased expression levels of vinculin and osteoprotegerin mRNA levels (all P < 0.05) . (4) Ⅰn vivo test revealed that the maximum push-out force in the type Ⅰ collagen combined titanium dioxide nanotube group was significantly higher than that in the pure titanium and titanium dioxide nanotube groups (P < 0.05) . Hematoxylin-eosin staining results showed that there were few bones, but many fibrous connective tissue surrounding the implant in the pure titanium group; there were more newly-born bones, and less fibrous connective tissue surrounding the implant in the titanium dioxide nanotube group; there were dense newly-born bones, and few thin fibrous connective tissue surrounding the implant in the type Ⅰ collagen combined titanium dioxide nanotube group. (5) These results indicate that type Ⅰ collagen combined titanium dioxide nanotube surface can facilitate osteoblast cell adhesion and promote osseointegration in vivo.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) represent a group of organic chemicals with structures consisting of fluorinated carbon backbone in different lengths, and they are bioaccumulative and endocrine-disrupting. Humans can be exposed to PFASs through a variety of routes such as inhalation, ingestion, and dermal contact. Population studies have found that PFASs can be detected in urine, blood, and follicular fluid from females. Toxicological studies have demonstrated that PFASs can cause adverse reproductive health outcomes, including decreased fertilization and implantation rate, disturbance of reproductive hormone levels, abnormal egg cell development, and abnormal fetal absorption and fetal development. Limited epidemiological studies have also revealed that exposure to environmental levels of PFASs is related to female reproductive health, but the conclusions remain inconsistent. This study aimed to review the PFAS exposure levels and epidemiological research results from different biological samples in the female population, as well as the female reproductive toxicity and mechanisms of PFASs, and further elaborate the effects of environmental PFAS exposure on female reproduction health.

Objective To explore the association of nocturnal serum cortisol levels with diabetic microvascular complications in overweight or obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods Serum cortisol levels of 316 overweight or obese type 2 diabetic patients were tested at midnight by the method of chemiluminescence. Diabetic microvascular complications were compared among various groups according to nocturnal serum cortisol levels. All the patients with nocturnal serum cortisol level > 50 nmol/L were asked to undergo overnight low-dose dexamethasone suppression test to rule out the possibility of subclincal Cushing's syndrome. The incidences of diabetic nephropathy ( DN ) , diabetic retinopathy ( DR ) , and diabetic peripheral neuropathy ( DPN ) were examined in all the patients. Results (1)The incidence of DN was gradually increased from 13.3％to 27.7％and 44.2％in patients with low, medium, and high cortisol level groups, showing a statistical difference among 3 groups ( P<0.05) . The incidences of DR in medium and high cortisol level groups were higher than that in low cortisol level group (40.6％and 47.7％vs 22.7％, both P<0.01). The incidence of DPN in high cortisol level group was higher as compared with low cortisol level group (60.5％ vs 38.7％, P<0.01). (2) Nocturnal serum cortisol level in patients with diabetic microvascular complications was higher than that in patients without complications [ (136.87 ± 105.78 vs 97.55 ± 93.48) nmol/L, P<0.01]. Nocturnal serum cortisol level in patients with multiple diabetic microvascular complications was higher than that in patients with single diabetic microvascular complication [ (151.66±114.54vs117.69±90.26)nmol/L,P<0.05].(3)Singlefactorlogisticregressionanalysisshowedthat higher nocturnal serum cortisol level was a risk factor for diabetic microvascular complications in addition to female, age, longer diabetic duration, higher fasting plasma glucose ( FPG ) . Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that higher nocturnal serum cortisol level was still a risk factor for diabetic microvascular complications after adjusted by diabetic duration, FPG, HbA1C, and the use of insulin (P=0.013). Conclusion Nocturnal serum cortisol level seems to be a risk factor for diabetic microvascular complications in overweight or obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
