Objective to analyze the basic situation of university and college teachers′psychological empowerment,and investigate the effect of perceived organizational support,organizational identification,supervisory commitment on psychological empowerment. Methods the instruments which were used include perceived organizational support questionnaire(POS),organizational identification questionnaire(OIQ),supervisory com-mitment scale(SCS)and psychological empowerment scale(PES). A total number of 1 500 teachers were recruited conveniently from 6 university and colleges. Results the average score of psychological empowerment was 60.09±14.21. Positive correlation was found among perceived organiza-tional support,organizational identification,supervisory commitment and psychological empowerment(P < 0.05). Perceived organizational support, organizational identification and supervisory commitment explained 86.5% of variance of psychological empowerment. Conclusion Overall level of university and college teachers′psychological empowerment is in moderate or above degree. Perceived organizational support,organizational identifi-cation,and supervisory commitment can predict a deep level of psychological empowerment.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the constituents of the Annona squamosa and evaluate their anti-tumor activity.
METHODThe compounds were isolated and purified by various column chromatography. Their structures were elucidated by spectral data analysis. Their anti-tumor activity was assayed by SRB method.
RESULTEleven compounds were obtained from the 95% EtOH extract. The structures were determined as: annosquamosin C(1),15, 16-epoxy-17-hydroxy-ent-kau-ran-19-oic acid (2),16,17-dihydroxy-ent-kau-ran-19-oic acid(3), annosquamosin A(4), ent-kaur-16-en-19-oic acid (5), 19-nor-ent-kauran4-ol-17-oic acid (6),16-hydroxy ent-kau ran-19-oic acid (7), ent-15beta-hydroxy-kaur-16-en-19-oic acid (8), annosquamosin B (9), ent-16beta, 17-dihydroxykauran-19-al (10), 16, 17-dihydroxy-ent-kauran-19-oic acid me thyl ester (11). Compounds 1,2,3,5,9 showed different inhibitory activities against 95-D lung cancer cells,the effect of compound 5 was strongest with the IC50 value 7.78 micromol x L(-1); Compounds 2, 5, 9 showed inhibitory activities against A2780 ovarian cancer cells, the effects of compounds 2 and 9 were strong with the IC50 values being 0.89, 3.10 micromol x L(-1), respectively.
CONCLUSIONCompound 2 was firstly isolated from this family, while compound 8 and 10 were first found from this genus and the title species, respectively. The in vitro anti-tumor test showed compound 5 significantly inhibited 95-D lung cancer cells and compounds 2 and 9 exhibited remarkbale activity against A2780 ovarian cancer cells.
