ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the intermediary and regulating effect of self?esteem on per?ceived stress and training burnout among accelerated plateau soldiers. Methods A total of 700 accelerated plateau soldiers were investigated which were chosen by a random cluster sampling method,and assessed by the Perceived Stress Scale, Self?esteem Scale and Self?compiled Soldiers' Training Burnout Questionnaire. Results ( 1) The total score of training burnout,the score of physical and mental exhaustion and the score of training alienated among soldiers who had a history of training injury (27.85±5.80,14.89±3.46 and 6.89± 2.26,respectively) were significantly higher than those of soldiers who didn't have a history of training injury (25.05±5.12,12.68±3.25 and 6.16±2.78,respectively),and the differences were significant ( t= 4.321, 5.764,2.825,all P<0.01). The total score of training burnout,the score of physical and mental exhaustion and the score of training alienated among soldiers who had a high training expectation were higher than those of soldiers who didn't have a high training expectation,and the differences were significant (P<0.01). (2) Among accelerated plateau soldiers,training burnout showed significantly positive correlation with perceived stress ( r=0.323, P<0.01),and significantly negative correlation with self?esteem ( r=-0.409, P<0.01). (3) The intermediary role of self?esteem between perceived stress and training burnout was remarkable (P<0.01) ,which accounted for 33.8% of the total effect,and self?esteem also had a regulating effect (P<0.05) . Conclusion Radical plateau soldiers have remarkable differences due to the history of training injury or training expectations,and self?esteem has partial intermediary and regulating effect between perceived stress and training burnout.
ABSTRACT
Objective To assess the effects of eszopiclone (ESZ) on the pentobarbital sodium-induced sleeping time and spontaneous activity in mice exposed to acute hypobaric hypoxia.Methods 120 mice were randomly divided into 6 groups by using two factors 2×3 levels factorial design,in which two factors were interventions (ESZ and 0.9％ sodium chloride,2 levels) and altitudes (800 m,3500 m and 6000 m,3 levels).The pentobarbital sodium-induced sleeping test and the open field test were engaged to assess the effects of ESZ on sleeping time and spontaneous activity.Results (1) The drug and altitude had no interaction in the results of both the pentobarbital sodium-induced sleeping test and the open field test(P＞0.05).(2)The time of pentobarbital sodium-induced sleeping of mice in the groups of ESZ at each altitudes were (37.77± 18.22) min,(37.02± 13.67) min,(95.67±47.68)min and in the groups of NS were(17.78± 14.10) min,(15.09± 12.46) min,(39.54±28.24) min respectively,and the sleep time in ESZ groups were significantly longer than those in the groups of NS (P＜0.05).The time of pentobarbital sodium-induced sleeping were longer in group of 6000 m than those in the other two groups,both the ESZ and NS groups (P＜0.05).(3)No significant difference was found in the open field test between the ESZ and NS groups in the same altitude(P＞0.05) ; while the mice at the altitude of 6000 m in groups of ESZ and NS decreased compared with the groups at the altitude of 800 m after the relevant drugs intra-perineally for 6 h (P＜0.05).Conclusion ESZ may prolong pentobarbital sodium-induced sleeping time especially at the altitude of 6000 m and with no influence on the spontaneous activity in mice exposed to acute hypobaric hypoxia.High altitude at 6000 m may prolong the sleep time induced by pentobarbital sodium and reduce the spontaneous activities.
