Do Victims Really Help Their Abusive Supervisors? Reevaluating the Positive Consequences of Abusive Supervision.

Do victims really help their abusive supervisors? Does abusive supervision have any positive consequence? The study aims to address this concern through extending the work by Tröster and Van Quaquebeke (2021). Using subordinates' self-reports, Tröster and Van Quaquebeke (2021) found that abusive supervision in high-quality leader-member exchange (LMX) relationship motivates subordinates to blame themselves, subsequently making them feel guilty and make up for it by being more helpful. By integrating both subordinates' and supervisors' perspectives, and using multi-wave, multi-source, and multi-level data collected in China, we obtain three major findings.

A Newly Authenticated Compound from Traditional Chinese Medicine Decoction Induces Melanogenesis in B16-F10 Cells by Increasing Tyrosinase Activity.

Vitiligo is a kind of skin dysfunction on melanogenesis. The highly prevalent, chronic, and distinctive complexion changes on patients have imposed enormous psychic and economic burden on both individuals and society. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a kind of precious source on chronic disease treatment, including skin dysfunctional diseases.

Identification and characterization of a Streptococcus suis immunogenic ornithine carbamoytransferase involved in bacterial adherence.

Background: Streptococcus suis (SS) is a major swine pathogen and a serious zoonotic pathogen causing septicemia and meningitis in piglets and humans. Using an immunoproteomic approach, we previously brought evidence that ornithine carbamoytransferase (OCT) may represent a vaccine candidate to protect against S. suis biofilm-related and acute infections.

Relationship Between the Serum Total Bilirubin and Inflammation in Patients With Psoriasis Vulgaris.

Background: Psoriasis is a chronic and recurrent inflammatory skin disease. Previous studies have shown that bilirubin has anti-inflammation and antioxidant effects. However, the various roles of bilirubin in psoriasis patients are still unclear.

Distribution and development of the TCM syndromes in psoriasis vulgaris.

Objective: To study the distribution and development rules of the TCM syndromes in psoriasis vulgaris.

Methods: Based on the clinical epidemiologic mass survey, the study was carried out by means of a status survey, multi-center and large-sample research. The data base was set up by EPIINFO6.

Antecedents and outcomes of abusive supervision: test of a trickle-down model.

The authors examined antecedents of abusive supervision and the relative importance of interactional and procedural justice as mediators of the relationship between abusive supervision and the work outcomes of affective organizational commitment and individual- and organization-directed citizenship behaviors. Data were obtained from subordinate-supervisor dyads from a telecommunication company located in southeastern China. Results of moderated regression analysis revealed that authoritarian leadership style moderated the relationship between supervisors' perceptions of interactional justice and abusive supervision such that the relationship was stronger for supervisors high rather than low in authoritarian leadership style.

[Determination of fibronectin-binding region of FBPS of Streptococcus suis type 2].

Fusion expression plasmid pFBPS, pFBPS (7 - 82), pFBPS (7 - 165) and pFBPS3 (87 - 320) of Streptococcus suis type strain HA9801 were generated by cloning different fragments of fbps amplified from pMD-T-FBPS by PCR into plasmid pET-32a(+). It has been confirmed that the recombinant proteins, FBPS, FBPS(87 -320), and FBPS(7 - 167), which are expressed by recombinant plasmid pFBPS, pFBPS(87 - 320) and pFBPS(7 - 165), respectively, bound human fibronectin by ligand affinity Western blot assay. The results indicate the primary fibronectin-binding domain of FBPS lies within 87 - 165 amino acid residues region.
