Objective To explore whether emotion regulation mediates the relationship between occupational stress and job burnout in a large sample of nurses, in order to provide a targeted intervention. Methods Chinese Nurses Stressor Scale, Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey, Emotion Regulation Questionnaire and Ruminative Responses Scale were used to investigate 602 nurses working in three tertiary hospitals in Jinan. SPSS 16.0 and AMOS 17.0 software were used to analyze the data. Results Job burnout were positively correlated with stressors, expression suppression and rumination (r=0.112–0.576, P<0.01), and negatively correlated with cognitive reappraisal (r=-0.277, P<0.01). Stressors were positively correlated with expression suppression and rumination (r = 0.140–0.403, P <0.01), and negatively correlated with cognitive reappraisal (r =-0.110, P < 0.01). Occupational stress could make a positive role on job burnout directly. Moreover, in the indirect approach, occupational stress could make a positive role on job burnout through the mediating role of cognitive reappraisal and ruminative, but not expression suppression. Conclusions Cognitive reappraisal and ruminative partially mediated the relationship between occupational stress and job burnout.

Objective To evaluate the long-term effects and safety of diode laser in hair removal.Methods A retrospective study was conducted.In this study,350 patients with hypertrichosis were treated by an 800-nm diode laser with a pulse duration of 30 ms for various sessions.Two groups were divided based on the treatment sessions:group A receiving 6(≥4 for axillae)or more treatments,group B less than 6(＜4 for axillae)treatments.Patients were followed up for 8 months to 3 years(mean 22.5 months)by return visit or telephone.Evaluation of efficacy and side effects were performed.Results Follow-up and evaluation were completed in 235 patients,and a total of 375 sites treated.After 2-18 treatments,a total effective rate of 80.53%(302/375)was achieved.Significant higher effective rates were observed in group B compared with group A at all sites 86.84%(33/38)vs 35.00%(7/20)on the lips,68.42%(26/38)vs 30.77%(4/13)on the face and neck,92.00%(46/50)vs 55.56%(5/9)in lower extremities,86.96%(20/23)vs 50.00%(4/5)on the trunk.93.81%(91/97)vs 55.56%(5/9)at the axillae,92.16%(47/51)vs 73.68%(14/19)in the upper extremities(all P＜0.05),Side effects were noted in only 6 cases,including hyperpigmentation,itching,and development of follicular papules,blisters and white hair.Neither hypopigmentation nor scarring was observed.Conclusions Diode laser system is effective and safe for hair removal.The effect varies with lesional sites and treatment sessions.

Objective To investigate the sleep quality of pacemaker implanted patients,to analyze the relationships among neuroticism,positive psychological capital and sleep quality,and to examine the potential mediating effect of positive psychological capital on the relationship between neuroticism and sleep quality. Methods Using convenience sampling, a total of 178 pacemaker implanted patients were interviewed and analyzed in two tertiary hospitals of Shandong province. They were assessed with Big Five Inventory,The Positive Psycap Questionnaireand Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Indexfor the evaluation of neuroticism,positive psychological capital and sleep quality.The Process macro was used to test the mediating effect. Results The mean score of PSQI in patients with pacemaker implantation was (8.48± 4.50), and 71.3％of them had sleep problems.The scores of neuroticism had positively correlated with the PSQI scores(r=0.31, P<0.01), the scores of positive psychological capital had negatively correlated with the PSQI scores(r=- 0.39, P<0.01).The confidence interval from Bootstrap output indicated positive psychological capital played a mediating role between neuroticism and sleep quality (95％CI:0.06-0.23), mediation effect was 0.14, the percentage of mediation effect in total effect was 43.75％. Conclusions The relation of positive psychological capital to neuroticism and sleep quality among pacemaker implanted patients are intimate.Positive psychological capital could mediate the relationship between neuroticism and sleep quality. It is suggested that nurses can improve the patient′s sleep by enhancing the intervention of positive psychological capital according to the personality characteristics of patients.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility and clinical efficacy of using the mirror technique, which involves overlapping the distance between the center of rotation of the femoral head and the posteromedial edge of the greater trochanter, combined with the injured side and the posterior edge of the contralateral femoral medial and lateral condyles, to correct rotational displacement of the femur during closed reduction and intramedullary nail fixation for multi-level comminuted femoral shaft fractures.Methods:This study included 52 adult patients with unilateral comminuted femoral shaft fractures treated with closed reduction and antegrade interlocking intramedullary nail fixation at the Trauma Center of Liuzhou Workers' Hospital from January 2020 to December 2022. The cohort consisted of 37 males and 15 females, with an average age of 44.4±3.5 years (range 19-68 years). During the operation, C-arm fluoroscopy was used to confirm the standard lateral position of the knee joint, identified by overlapping the posterior edges of the medial and lateral femoral condyles. With this position maintained, X-ray fluoroscopy was performed on the hip joint in the anteroposterior view to identify the rotation center of the femoral head (point O) and the intersection point of the arc projection between the posteromedial edge of the greater trochanter and the upper edge of the femoral neck (point Y). The distance from point O to point Y (OY) was measured and recorded. The rotational deformity of the femoral shaft fracture was corrected by internally or externally rotating the main screw sight frame to match the OY distance between the injured and healthy sides. Postoperative CT was used to measure bilateral femoral neck anteversion (FNA), and the difference in FNA between the two sides was compared to verify the accuracy of rotation control. Clinical efficacy was evaluated based on fracture healing rate, lower extremity functional scale (LEFS) score, Harris score, Lysholm knee score, hip and knee joint range of motion, and complications.Results:The postoperative FNA was 14.45°±3.23° on the healthy side and 14.21°±3.28° on the injured side. The mean FNA difference between the two sides was 0.79°±0.58° (range 0°-2.5°). In 3 cases, the difference exceeded 2°, with a maximum difference of 2.5°. In 10 cases, the difference ranged from 1° to 2°, and in 39 cases, the difference was ≤1°, including 2 cases with no difference. There was no significant difference in postoperative FNA between the two sides ( t=1.063, P=0.168). At the last follow-up, there were no significant differences in LEFS score, Harris score, or Lysholm score between the injured and healthy sides ( P>0.05). The range of motion (ROM) of the hip joint at the last follow-up was 117.0°±2.2° in flexion, 24.3°±3.2° in extension, 33.4°±3.1° in abduction, 20.8°±2.7° in adduction, 19.4°±3.5° in internal rotation, and 38.2°±1.5° in external rotation. The ROM of the healthy side was 122.0°±2.4° in flexion, 25.4°±2.8° in extension, 35.6°±2.0° in abduction, 23.4°±1.6° in adduction, 21.0°±2.2° in internal rotation, and 38.4°±1.8° in external rotation, with no significant differences ( P>0.05). The knee flexion ROM was 135.0°±2.8° on the injured side and 138.4°±1.2° on the healthy side, with no significant difference ( P>0.05). The fracture healing time was 10.6±2.3 months (range 6-13 months). One patient developed fat embolism syndrome on the third postoperative day and recovered after 2 weeks of hormone therapy and respiratory support. No other complications, such as vascular or nerve injury, infection, deep vein thrombosis, or joint dysfunction, were observed in the remaining 51 patients. Conclusion:The method of using the vertical projection distance between the center of rotation of the femoral head and the posteromedial edge of the greater trochanter, combined with the overlap of the injured side and the posterior edge of the medial and lateral femoral condyles, is a new quantitative approach. This technique accurately determines and corrects the rotational displacement of femoral fractures, offering an effective and quick intraoperative correction method.
