Objective:To explore the multiple mediation effects of the positive and negative affect between emotional intelligence and life satisfaction in military personnel.Methods:Totally 967 male military personnel aged 17 to 34 years were investigated with the Schutte's Emotional Intelligence Scale (SSEIS),the Positive Affect and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS) and Life Satisfaction Index A (LSIA).The relationship among these variables was analyzed by using path analysis and Bootstrap test.Results:Totally 68.7% military personnel were satisfied with their lives.Path analysis showed that emotional intelligence had indirect effects on life satisfaction through the mediation effects of positive affect and negative affect (x2/df=8.88,GFI =0.98,AGFI =0.94,NFI =0.98,IFI =0.98,TLI =0.95,CFI =0.98,RMSEA =0.09).Bootstrap test showed that the mediational path through positive affect and negative affect with the effect size were 31.5% and 14.8%,and the total mediational effect size was 46.3%.Conclusion:It suggests that positive affect and negative affect may have mediating effects on the relationship between emotional intelligence and life satisfaction among military personnel.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the expression of fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) and osteopontin (OPN) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues and analyze the correlation between FGF-2 and OPN.
METHODS:
Immunohistochemical SP method was used to detect the expression of FGF-2 and OPN in 76 patients with NSCLC and 15 normal lung tissues. The effect of FGF-2 on OPN expression at mRNA and protein level in A549 cell was examined by RT-PCR and Western blot.
RESULTS:
The positive expression of FGF-2 (65.8%) and OPN (60.5%) in the NSCLC tissues was significantly higher than that in the normal lung tissues (13.3% and 0, respectively ) (P<0.01). The expression of FGF-2 and OPN was closely related to TNM stages and the lymph node metastasis (all Ps<0.01), but not to histological types, sex, and age of NSCLC patients (all Ps>0.05).A positive correlation was found between the expression of FGF-2 and OPN in NSCLC (r=0.552,P<0.01). The expression of OPN protein and mRNA was up-regulated by FGF-2 in A549 cells.
CONCLUSION
The overexpression of FGF-2 and OPN is related to the metastasis and invasion of NSCLC.FGF-2 may promote the metastasis and invasion of NSCLC depending on the upregulation of OPN expression.
