However, not much is known about the mediating role of psychological resilience between the second victims of workplace violence and their career success.

Low-soluble TREM-like transcript-1 levels early after severe burn reflect increased coagulation disorders and predict 30-day mortality.

Background: Patients with severe burns often show systemic coagulation changes in the early stage and even develop extensive coagulopathy. Previous studies have confirmed that soluble TREM-like transcript-1 (sTLT-1) mediates a novel mechanism of haemostasis and thrombosis in inflammatory vascular injury. At present, the role of sTLT-1 in patients with severe burns is not well known.

Circulating sFasL Levels Predict the Severity and Outcome of Burn Injury: A Prospective Observational Study.

Background: Severe burn injury activates shock, inflammation, and blood cell system, but inappropriate reactions may lead to adverse outcomes. Soluble Fas ligand (sFasL) participates in apoptosis and inflammatory response. The circulating sFasL levels we investigated in association with the burn severity, shock, inflammation, blood cells, and mortality in patients with severe burns.

Elevated serum procalcitonin predicts Gram-negative bloodstream infections in patients with burns.

Background: Many studies have suggested that procalcitonin can predict bloodstream infection and also distinguish between Gram-negative, Gram-positive and fungal infections after burn. However, up to now, there is no literature on serum procalcitonin level of multidrug-resistant pathogens and non-multidrug-resistant pathogens among Gram-negative bloodstream infections after burn. The purpose of this study is to explore the value of serum procalcitonin in identifying Gram-negative bloodstream infection in patients with febrile critical burn and then to investigate the difference of serum procalcitonin level between multidrug-resistant pathogens and non-multidrug-resistant pathogens among Gram-negative bloodstream infections after burn.
