Objective:T explore the longitudinal mediation of emotional labor and emotion regulation between occupational stress and job burnout in cinema employees.Methods:This study was a two-point longitudinal study (Interval of 2 months) with the 1067 employees from 44 city cinemas across the country as the sample,using the Emotional Labor Questionnaire (ELQ) to measure the degree of emotional labor,Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) to measure the degree of emotion regulation,Occupational Stress Indicator-2(OSI-2) to measure the degree of occupational stress,Maslach Burnout Inventory(MBI) to measure the degree of job burnout and Job Satisfaction Scale to measure the degree of job satisfaction.A series of structural equation model analyses was conducted for data analyses.Results:The scores of expression suppression were negatively correlated with scores of occupational stress (r =-0.16,P <0.01),and positively correlated with the scores of job satisfaction (r =0.17,P <0.01).The structural equation model which include the scores of occupational stress as the predictive variable,the scores of emotional labor and emotion regulation as the mediator,the scores of job burnout and job satisfaction as the outcome variable fit well.Emotional labor (surface acting and deep acting) acted as a mediator between occupational stress and job burnout(95 % CI:0.03-0.05;0.02-0.05).Emotion regulation (cognitive reappraisal) acted as a mediator between occupational stress and job bumout(95% CI:0.01-0.03).Conclusion:Emotional labor and emotion regulation acted as a mediator between occupational stress and occupational outcomes.Expression suppression has positive effect in Chinese culture.People who well in using cognitive reappraisal can lead to positive work effect througgh more deep acting and less surface acting.

Objective To study the adrenal function in rats with pulmonary acute lung injury (ALI) induced by Escherichia coli (0111B4) . Methods ALI rat model was induced by intratracheal injection of E.coli (3 ml/kg,0111B4,(4.4-5.6) x 10~(12) CFU/L).ALI rats were then randomly divided into three groups,and each group had 10 rats.Mechanical ventilation was applied at three time points,6 hours,24 hours,and 36 hours after injection At each time point 8 rats were used as control with saline administered intratracheally.The plasma ACTH and corticosterone levels were measured after stimulated by 100 μg porcine ACTH.Results Compared with control group,the model group had a higher level of plasma ACTH at each time point (P < 0.01).The plasma ACTH level reached the peak at 24 hours.The model group had a higher level of plasma corticosterone at 6 hours (P < 0.01) and 24 hours (P <0.05),but had a lower level of plasma corticosterone at 36 hours (P < 0.05).The plasma corticosterone level reached the peak at 6 hours in model group,which was higher than 24 hours (P < 0.05).After stimulated by ACTH,the increased levels of corticosterone were lower in model group than those in control group (6 hours,P < 0.05; 24 hours and 36 hours,P < 0.01).Conclusions Adrenal dysfunction may occur at early stage of ALI in rats.With the disease developed,adrenal response to ACTH decreased.Low dose corticotrophin-stimulated test could evaluate adrenal function in rats with pulmonary ALI induced by Escherichia coli (O111B4).

Objective To observe the morphology of ethanol-wet dentin surfaces and detect their nano-scale adhesion force (Fad) by atomic force microscopy (AFM) in order to explore the potential mechanism of ethanol-wet bonding in improving clinical dentin bonding effectiveness.Methods Dentin slices from human premolar roots were prepared into flat ones, polished, and then randomly divided into five groups.All the specimens were acid-etched, rinsed, and left moist.They were then treated with 100% ethanol for 0s (control group), 20s, 60s, 3×60s, or stepwise ethanol application.Afterwards, each group was scanned for the morphology in air and the Fad was probed by AFM.One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey`s test was employed for multiple comparisons using SPSS16.0.Results Compared with control group, ethanol-wet dentine produced a less undulating and relatively smooth surface topography.Ethanol-wet protocol significantly decreased the value of Fad in the experimental groups (P<0.001), in which 3×60s and stepwise ethanol application groups showed the lowest Fad.No difference was found between these two groups (P>0.05).Conclusion When using AFM in air, ethanol-wet protocol with longer time can produce a less undulating and relatively smooth surface topography and decrease the Fad, whichindicates that the water saturated in dentin matrix was replaced more thoroughly by longer ethanol application time.This will benefit hydrophobicity of the dentin bonding interface.

Objective To observethe clinical efficacy of comprehensive acupuncture treatment in treating primary open-angle glaucoma, and to objectively evaluate the therapeutic efficacy.Method Twenty-eight patients (53 eyes) who received acupuncture treatment were recruited. By adopting a self-control design, the changes of intraocular tension, mean defect (MD) of vision field, mean sensitivity (MS), vision, and score of Quality of Life Scale for Patients with Visual Impairment (QLSPVI) were observed after 3-month acupuncture treatment.ResultThe intraocular tension of the 28 patients declined obviously after the treatment (P<0.01); MD, MS and vision didn't show significant improvements after the treatment (P>0.05); the QLSPVI score dropped significantly after the treatment (P<0.01);the total effective rate was 86.8%; the therapeutic efficacy wasn't correlated with age, disease duration, and treatment duration (P>0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture treatment can effectively reduce the intraocular tension, control the deterioration of MD and MS, maintain the level of vision, and enhance the quality of life of patients with primary open-angle glaucoma; with the same disease duration, the longer the treatment, the better the therapeutic efficacy.

AIM: To investigate the effects of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) on cultured anoxic-reoxygenation human umbilical vein endothelial cells. METHODS:In the present experiment, an anoxic-reoxygenation model was established by using cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells. The uptake rate of trypan-blue and calcium and magnesium contents of endothelial cells and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in medium and malondialdhyde (MDA) content of endothelial cells were measured 60,120 and 180 min after anoxia and 30 and 60 min after reoxygenation, and the effects of 1?10 -8 mol/L CGRP on anoxic-reoxygenation endothelial cells were studied. RESULTS: The findings showed that, as anoxia prolonged, the uptake rate of trypan-blue and LDH activity and MDA content gradually elevated and, during reoxygenation, these parameters sharply increased. Calcium and magnesium levels gradually declined as anoxia prolonged, and during reoxygenation calcium content significantly increased. Meanwhile, 1?10 -8 mol/L CGRP might significantly reduce the uptake rate of trypan-blue and LDH activity and MDA content during anoxia and reoxygenation and lessen the increase in calcium content and the loss of magnesium during reoxygenation. CONCLUSION: These results showed that CGRP might have a direct protective function to endothelial cells afflicted with anoxic-reoxygenation injury by inhibiting lipid peroxidation, attenuating calcium overload and loss of magnesium and enzyme.
