Objective To provide a scientific basis for nursing managers to promote the professional quality of life of nurses.Methods Totally 373 nurses from three general hospitals in Jinan by convenience sampling technique were recruited and assessed with the Professional Quality of Life Scale Version 5 (ProQOL-V) and the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire.The relationship between professional quality of life and mindfulness was analyzed.Results The average score of compassion satisfaction was (29.71±6.61) points,the average score of compassion fatigue was (52.82±8.04) points,which were in the middle level of them.Compassion satisfaction was correlated with mindfulness,observation,description,non-reactiveness and non-judgment (P ＜ 0.05).Compassion fatigue was correlated with mindfulness,observation,awareness of the action,non-reactiveness and non-judgment (P ＜ 0.05).Multiple regression analysis showed that the three dimensions (observation,non-reactiveness and non-judgment) of mindfulness could predict 15％ variance of compassion satisfaction and the three dimensions (observation,awareness of the action and non-judgment) of mindfulness could predict 34.1％ variance of compassion fatigue after controlling demographic variables.Conclusions Mindfulness can effectively predict nurses' professional quality of life.Nursing managers should take some mindfulness training in order to improve their professional quality of life.

Objective To investigate the factors affecting platelet transfusion efficiency.Methods A total of 102 cases of leuke-mia patients were recruited in the study,whose platelet count were measured before platelet transfusion and 1,24 h after platelet transfusion,then corrected count increment(CCI)values were calculated.By using CCI combined with clinical manifestations,the ef-ficacy of platelet transfusion were evaluated.The platelet antibody were detected before platelet transfusion.Depending on whether there were platelet antibodies,complications,the number of times of platelet transfusion,the types of platelet,patients were grouped and their platelet transfusion efficiency and CCI values were compared.Results The total effective rate of platelet transfusions were 71.6%(73/102 ).Invalid transfusion group had higher platelet antibody positive rate (17.2%)than effective transfusion group (2.7%),the difference were statistically significant(P <0.05).Among the groups of different transfusion times,the tansfusion effi-ciency was statistically different(P <0.05).With the increase of the number of times of platelet transfusion,the platelet transfusion efficiency decreased.Comparison between different types of platelets showed different platelet transfusion efficiency,which was sta-tistically significant(P <0.05).1 h and 24 h CCI value,platelet antibodies and whether patients with complications were related(P<0.05).1 h and 24 h CCI values were both associated with platelet antibodies and complications(P <0.05).Conclusion Platelet antibodies,complications,times of platelet transfusion and types of platelet transfusion are affecting factors of the transfusion effica-cy in patients with leukemia.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptom and posttraumatic growth (PTG) in the patients with burns during rehabilitation, and the relationships among PTSD symptom, PTG, neuroticism and resilience.Methods:A cross-sectional study was carried out among 110 patients with burns during rehabilitation.The PTSD Check-list-Civilian Version (PCL-C), Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), Five Factors Inventory-Neuroticism Subscale (FFI-N) and the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) were used.Result:A significant effect of different groups of marital status (F=5.66, P=0.019), annual household income (F=7.97, P=0.006), and neuroticism (F=34.24, P＜0.001, Partial η2=0.259) on PCL-C scores.A significant effect of different groups of gender (F=6.44, P=0.013) and resilience (F=14.87, P＜0.001, Partial η2=0.132) were significant for PTG scores.There existed a significant interaction between neuroticism and resilience on PTG (F=4.47, P=0.037, Partial η2=0.044).Conclusion:Being married, low annual household income, and high levels of neuroticism were associated with high PTSD symptom levels.Being female and high levels of resilience were associated with high PTG levels.Resilience moderated the effect of neuroticism on PTSD symptoms.

AIM:To study the effect of roscovitine on the inflammatory hyperplasia of carotid artery intima in rats and the related mechanisms .METHODS: SD rats ( n=60 ) were randomly divided into 3 groups including control group, model group and treatment group .The rat model was established by trypsin digestion injury .The rats in control group were given sham operation .The rats in treatment group were administered with 0.5 mL roscovitine (2 g/L) slow-re-leasing gelatin.The rats in each group were fed normally for 4 weeks, then killed to take out carotid arteries for further ob-servations .The effects of roscovitine on the inflammatory hyperplasia of carotid artery intima and the related mechanism via nuclear factor-κB ( NF-κB) in the rats were detected by Western blot .RESUITS:Roscovitine inhibited the activation of NF-κB and the expression of inflammatory factors cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1),TNF-αand IL-6 via blocking the phosphorylation activation of NF-κB and inhibiting the degradation of IκB-α.CON-CLUSION:Roscovitine inhibits inflammatory hyperplasia of carotid artery intima in the rats via suppressing NF-κB activa-tion.

The authors reviewed the practice of integrated health care delivery system( IDS) at home and abroad, and based on experiences of collaborations between medical service institutions in Zhejiang province,proposed the strategic positioning,responsibilities and service innovation of urban public hospitals in a regional medical service system. It is held that the direction of China′s health care reform should move towards IDS in the future,and such hospitals should play an active role in the process via integration of its own resource and provide multi-level,diversified services for the regional health care system.

Objective To explore whether emotion regulation mediates the relationship between occupational stress and job burnout in a large sample of nurses, in order to provide a targeted intervention. Methods Chinese Nurses Stressor Scale, Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey, Emotion Regulation Questionnaire and Ruminative Responses Scale were used to investigate 602 nurses working in three tertiary hospitals in Jinan. SPSS 16.0 and AMOS 17.0 software were used to analyze the data. Results Job burnout were positively correlated with stressors, expression suppression and rumination (r=0.112–0.576, P<0.01), and negatively correlated with cognitive reappraisal (r=-0.277, P<0.01). Stressors were positively correlated with expression suppression and rumination (r = 0.140–0.403, P <0.01), and negatively correlated with cognitive reappraisal (r =-0.110, P < 0.01). Occupational stress could make a positive role on job burnout directly. Moreover, in the indirect approach, occupational stress could make a positive role on job burnout through the mediating role of cognitive reappraisal and ruminative, but not expression suppression. Conclusions Cognitive reappraisal and ruminative partially mediated the relationship between occupational stress and job burnout.

Objective The aim of the longitudinal was to explore the level of posttraumatic growth (PTG) and the effect on rehabilitation outcome in patients who received renal transplant. Methods A questionnaire survey was carried out in patients after renal transplant in one month (T1) and six months (T2) in China during hospitalization. PTG was measured by the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), depression by the Patient Health Questionaire (PHQ-9), anxiety by the Generalised Anxiety Disorder Questionaire (GAD-7). Totally 180 patients were recruited, and 160 completed the follow-up measure. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS 20.0. Results There were 88.3% (158/180) patients reported positive PTG in T1, and 94.3% (151/160) in T2. The mean score of posttraumatic growth at T1 and T2 had no significant difference (T1:77.96 ± 16.36,T2:79.54 ± 17.58;t=-1.302,P=0.195). PTG was not significant to the recovery of physical symptoms (χ2Creatinine=0.504,P=0.841,χ2recover=0.609,P=0.777, χ2complication=6.131,P=0.150), while it affected the incidence of anxiety (χ2=7.541, P=0.021), but not related with the incidence of depression (χ2=3.926,P=0.130). Conclusions There is no difference in the level of PTG in time. PTG has no obvious effect on body health recovery for patients with renal transplantation after six months, while for the mental health, PTG has no effect on depression symptoms, but can reduce the occurrence of anxiety symptoms.

Objective To observe the effect of kinesthetic imagery and visual imagery on upper limb rehabilitation among stroke survivors.Methods Forty-five hemiplegic stroke survivors were randomly assigned into a kinesthetic imagery training group (n=14),a visual imagery training group (n=15) or a control group (n=16).In addition to conventional rehabilitation,patients in the kinesthetic and visual imagery training groups were given 30 minutes of the appropriate imagery training once a day,five days per week for four weeks,while the control group relaxed or received health education for the same time.Before and after the 4-week intervention,the upper limb section of the Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA-UE) and the modified Barthel index (MBI) were used to evaluate the motor function of the subjects' upper limb and their ability in the activities of daily living respectively.Results Before the intervention,there were no significant differences in the average FMA-UE and MBI scores among the 3 groups.After the intervention there was no significant difference between the average FMA-UE and MBI scores of the two training groups,but both were significantly better than the control group's averages.Conclusion Either kinesthetic or visual imagery training can improve the upper limb function of stroke survivors and their abihty in the activities of daily living.Their effectiveness is not significantly different.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the genetic etiology of a Chinese pedigree affected with pseudohypoparathyroidism. METHODS: Peripheral blood samples of the proband and his parents were collected and subjected to trio-whole exome sequencing (trio-WES). Candidate variants were verified among the pedigree and 50 randomly selected healthy individuals through analysis of restriction fragment length polymorphism. Short tandem repeat (STR) linkage analysis was used to verify the parental origin of the pathogenic variants. RESULTS: Trio-WES and Sanger sequencing showed that the proband and his mother had both harbored a c.121C>G (p.His41Asp) variant of the GNAS gene, which was not found in other family members and the 50 healthy controls. The variant was not found in international databases. Based on guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics, the variant was predicted to be likely pathogenic. CONCLUSION The novel c.121C>G variant of the GNAS gene probably underlay the disease in this pedigree. Above finding has enriched the spectrum of GNAS gene variants.
