Through the lens of social identity theory, this work aims to investigate the impact of servant leadership on employee resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic and to explore their underlying mechanisms through two types of social identity: organizational identification and professional identity. To test our hypotheses, an online survey was conducted via a large number of 703 employees working in public organizations in southwest China. Results yielded from the structural equation modeling analysis via AMOS (24.

Due to the residential confinement contingency, people were restricted in their study, work and leisure within constrained residential community. The physical environment of residential community therefore became the main activity place and it thus played a significant role for facilitating inhabitants' daily activities and influencing community identity.

However, research on life satisfaction focused toward the urban dwellers' residential community is mainly from western countries, and the limited research from China is solely focused on the geriatric population via a narrowly constrained research perspective. This study, therefore, aimed to investigate urbanites' life satisfaction toward their community, combining the psychological (behavioral community engagement, mental state of flow, and cognitive community identity), physical (PREQIs-perceived residential environment quality indicators: e.

Methods: Here, we determined the expression profiles of lncRNA, mRNA, and microRNA (miRNA) in rectal cancer, and constructed the lncRNA-mRNA-miRNA ceRNA networks to identify the hub lncRNAs, mRNAs, and miRNAs involved in this cancer. Moreover, survival analysis was performed to identify survival-related genes.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most widespread cancer in the world. Although many advances have been made in molecular biology, novel approaches are still required to reveal molecular mechanisms for the diagnosis and therapy of colon cancer. In this study, we aimed to determine and analyse the hub genes of CRC.

To identify the epidemiologic characteristics, sources of food contamination, and risk factors of NTS gastroenteritis, epidemiologic data and stool specimens of diarrheal patients were collected from sentinel hospitals in Baoshan, Shanghai, People's Republic of China, between 2010 and 2014. Food products from nearby farmers' markets and animal feces from live poultry markets and livestock farms were sampled to identify the pathogen; a case-control study was conducted to characterize risk factors of NTS gastroenteritis.

Objective: To study the risk factors of acute sporadic hepatitis E virus (HEV) cases and to analyze its partial sequence in some districts of Shanghai.
Methods: 30 blood samples were collected from the acute sporadic HEV cases in 2003-2004 and the RT-nPCR method was applied to obtain the sequence of HEV in these cases. Meanwhile, a 1:2 case-control study was used to identify risk factors in the process of sporadic HEV infection in these regions of Shanghai.
