The effects of emotional labor and competency on job satisfaction in nurses of China: A nationwide cross-sectional survey

Objectives:This study aimed to explore the status of job satisfaction,emotional labour,core competencies and job stress and the associations of emotional labour and core competencies with the job satisfaction of nurses in China.Methods:Data were collected by using a self-designed general information questionnaire,a job satisfaction questionnaire(McCloskey/Mueller Satisfaction Scale),a nurse emotional labour questionnaire,the Competency Inventory for Registered Nurses questionnaire,and a nurse job stressor questionnaire.A total of 13,448 nurses from 92 hospitals across mainland of China were surveyed,and 11,337 respondents(84.3%response rate)completed the questionnaires.Results:The survey results indicated that Chinese nurses had average job satisfaction(24.77±5.23),moderate job stress(86.84±21.12),moderate to high emotional labour experiences(55.08±9.63)and high competency(195.77±37.61).Multiple linear regression indicated that surface acting was negatively correlated with job satisfaction(P<0.01),while deep acting(P<0.01)and nurses'core competence(P<0.01)were positively associated with job satisfaction.Besides,The results also indicated job stress,geographical distribution,hospital category,gender,work shift,only children,parenting status,monthly salary,nursing experience,professional title,hospital area were the influencing factors of job satisfaction(P<0.05).Conclusion:The improvement of the emotional labour and competency of nurses may help enhance their job satisfaction.

Controlled Cell Patterning on Bioactive Surfaces with Special Wettability

The ability to control cell patterning on artificial substrates with various physicochemical properties is of essence for important implications in cytology and biomedical fields. Despite extensive progress, the ability to control the cell-surface interaction is complicated by the complexity in the physiochemical features of bioactive surfaces. In particular, the manifesta- tion of special wettability rendered by the combination of surface roughness and surface chemistry further enriches the cell-surface interaction. Herein we investigated the cell adhesion behaviors of Circulating Tumor Cells （CTCs） on topog- raphically patterned but chemically homogeneous surfaces. Harnessing the distinctive cell adhesion on surfaces with different topography, we further explored the feasibility of controlled cell patterning using periodic lattices of alternative topographies. We envision that our method provides a designer＇s toolbox to manage the extracellular environment.

Control and Patterning of Various Hydrophobic Surfaces:Insitu Modification Realized by Flexible Atmospheric Plasma Stamp Technique

Wettability plays a vital role in fundamental researches and practical applications.Wettability control and patterning have been widely studied in various fields.Although researches have grown rapidly,the methods are still restricted by limitations including complicated processes,high equipment requirements and shortage of methods to treat complex surfaces.Here we report a simple,low cost,array-based wettability control and patterning method via in-situ modification by flexible plasma stamp.Wettability control and patterning on surfaces of superhydrophobic aluminum,superhydrophobic PDMS and silicon,even plant leaf and fruit are achieved.The relationships between the wettability and the treatment time are investigated.We elucidate that the wetting states can also be reversible.The surface modification mechanism of in-situ plasma treatment is further investigated.Utilizing the step by step treatment,gradient and arbitrary wettability patterning on surfaces have been obtained.Notably,the patterned wettability on the inner surface of a tube has been realized,which has never been reported.Finally,in-situ wettability patterning is applied to achieve microfluidics channels on the inner surface of superhydrophobic tube.This work will bring new insights into the study of wetting field and stimulate more applications on wettability control and patterning.

LPS-induced mitochondrial DNA synthesis and release facilitate RAD50-dependent acute lung injury

Dear Editor,ATP-binding cassette(ABC)-ATPase(RAD50),together with meiotic recombination 11 homolog 1(MRE11)subunits,to form MRE11-RAD50 complex,plays important roles in recognition of double-stranded DNA(dsDNA)and initiation of consequent inflammatory cascade1.Acute lung injury(ALI)and acute respiratory destress syndrome(ARDS)are systemic uncontrolled inflammation and life-threatening.However,the function of the DNA sensor in ALI/ARDS remains poorly defined.Here we investigated functions of RAD50 using mouse primary macrophages and conditionally RAD50 knockout mice in vitro and in a lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced lung injury model.

大洋最小含氧带生物地球化学循环及微生物多样性研究进展

大洋的最小含氧带(oxygen minimum zones,OMZs)具有特殊的水动力和氧含量特征,该区域是氮流失的主要场所,也是各类生化反应发生的重要区域。OMZs的存在会对浮游生物的丰度、多样性、分布模式及呼吸方式产生较大影响。大洋OMZs中存在广泛的反硝化、厌氧氨氧化、甲烷厌氧氧化和隐性厌氧硫氧化作用等都是海洋物质循环的关键环节。全球海洋OMZs的规模在人类活动和全球变暖等因素的影响下也呈现出逐渐扩大的趋势。低氧环境的变化可以通过微生物多样性和群落结构稳定性进行判断,因此了解该区域的多样性水平是十分必要的。现有研究虽然对海洋OMZs的生物地球化学循环、微生物多样性和生态效应有了一定的认识,但对该区域总体情况和微生物生态学研究现状的系统性综合论述还较少,对海洋低氧环境的微生物活性、群落结构稳定性和分子代谢过程的研究还有较大的探讨空间。本文介绍了海洋低氧环境的分布情况和生态环境效应,全面且详细地论述了OMZs内各物质循环过程和微生物多样性的研究现状,指出尚未很好解决的生态学问题。

In situ Reduction of Silver Nanoparticles on Chitosan Hybrid Copper Phosphate Nanoflowers for Highly Efficient Plasmonic Solar-driven Interfacial Water Evaporation

The development of water purification device using solar energy has received tremendous attention.Despite extensive progress,traditional photothermal conversion usually has a high cost and high environmental impact.To overcome this problem,we develop a low cost,durable and environmentally friendly solar evaporator.This bilayered evaporator is constructed with a thermal insulating polyvinylidene fluoride(PVDF)membrane as a bottom supporting layer and plasmonic silver nanoparticles decorated miero-sized hybrid flower(Ag/MF)as a top light-to-heat conversion layer.Compared with the sample with a flat silver film,the two-tier Ag/MF has a plasmonic enrichment property and high efficiency in converting the solar light to hcat as cach flower can gencrate a microscale hotspot by enriching the absorbed solar light.On the other hand,the PVDF membrane on the bottom with porous structure not only improves the mechanicalstability of the entire structure,but also maintains a stable water supply from the bulk water to the evaporation interface by capillarity and minimizes the thermal conduction.The combination of excellent water evaporation ability simple operation,and low cost of the production process imparts this type of plasmonic enhanced solar-driven interfacial water evaporator with promising prospects for potable water purification for point-of-use applications.
