{L-End}Objective To understand the influence of job burnout and anxiety symptoms on work ability of biosafety laboratory (BSL) workers in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. {L-End}Methods A total of 5 808 BSL workers in Xinjiang Region were selected as the research subjects using cluster sampling method. The Job Burnout Questionnaire, Anxiety Self-rating Scale and Work Ability Index Questionnaire were used to evaluate their job burnout, anxiety symptoms and work ability. The mediation effect of anxiety symptoms on the relationship between job burnout and work ability was tested by stepwise regression analysis. {L-End}Results The detection rate of job burnout, anxiety symptoms and poor working ability was 83.1% (4 829/5 808), 37.2% (2 160/5 808) and 5.8% (339/5 808), respectively. There was a positive correlation between job burnout and anxiety symptoms score in BSL workers ［correlation coefficient (r) was 0.48, P<0.01］. The score of job burnout and anxiety symptoms was negatively correlated with the work ability score (r were -0.58, -0.51, both P<0.01). The results of mediation effect analysis show that the total effect of job burnout on work ability was -0.31, with the direct effect of -0.15. The mediation effect of anxiety symptoms on the relationship between job burnout and work ability was -0.16, accounting for 51.6% of the total effect. {L-End}Conclusion The detection rates of job burnout and anxiety symptoms among BSL workers in Xinjiang Region are relatively high. Anxiety symptoms show a mediate effect on the relationship between job burnout and work ability. The work ability of BSL workers can be improved by improving job burnout and anxiety symptoms.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy and radiologic changes between constrained and non-constrained titanium plate in anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion (ACCF) in elderly cervical spondylosis patients.Methods A total of 58 elderly cervical spondylosis patients who underwent ACCF were divided into group 1 (patients treated with constrained titanium plates,n =30) and group 2 (patients treated with non-constrained titanium plates,n=28).The Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score,fusion rate,the loss of segmental height and cervical lordosis were recorded.The clinical efficacy and imaging features were compared between the two groups.Results The improvement rate of JOA score had no significant differences between group 1 and group 2 [(77.7±18.6)％ vs.(75.8±23.2)％,t=0.340,P＞0.05].At 3 months after operation,the fusion rate was higher in group 2 than in group 1 (89.3％ vs.63.3％,x2 =5.327,P＜0.05).At 3,6 and 12 months after operation,there were no significant differences in the loss of segmental cervical height and lordosis between group 1 and group 2 [(2.42±3.05)mm vs.(0.98±2.86)mm,(3.95±3.65)mm vs.(2.34±2.97)mm,(3.60±4.33)mm vs.(2.40±2.96)mm,(1.64±2.33)° vs.(0.66 ± ±2.14)°,(2.13∧±±3.79)° vs.(0.70±2.99)°,(2.39±4.26)° vs.(0.86±3.25)°,respectively,all P ＞0.05].Conclusions The clinical efficacy is similar in ACCF with the two types of titanium plates.The non-constrained titanium plate can increase the fusion rate in early time,but may aggravate the loss of segmental cervical height and lordosis,which should be used with caution in elderly osteoporosis patients.

We examined the biocompatibility and the safety of a-calcium sulfate hemihydrate (CSH)/multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) composites for bone reconstruction application. The biocompatibility of the CSH/MWCNT composites was evaluated by the measures which taking L929 fibroblast cells cultured in the extracted liquid of the composite soaking solution and putting bone marrow stromal cells planted on the composite pellets in vitro, respectively. The cell proliferation was evaluated by MTT test and further observed using an inverted optical microscope and a scanning electric microscope. The toxicity of the composites was evaluated by acute and subacute systemic toxicity test. Long-term muscle and bone implantation in vivo tests were also conducted. L929 fibroblast cells grew well in the extracted liquid, as well as bone marrow stromal cells that could adhere on the surface of sample pellets and proliferated rapidly. MTT test showed that there were no significant differences between the experimental and control groups (P > 0.05). In vivo test manifested that the composites were no toxicity, no irritation to skin and good for bone defect reconstruction. It was proved that a-calcium sulfate hemihydrate (CSH)/multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) composites exhibited excellent biocompatibility for the potential application in bone tissue engineering.
