Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2016;25(3):267-270
Objective To explore the relationships among psychological empower, role stressors and job burnout in nurses.Methods From February to October of 2014, by random sampling method, 420 nurses from three hospitals of Jinzhou city of Liaoning province were selected and assessed with the psycho-logical empower questionnaires,the job burnout questionnaire,role stressors questionnaire.The data were ana-lyzed using pearson correlation analysis and logical multiple linear regression analysis.Results The average score of job burnout was (59.58±18.30) points, the average score of psychological empower was (38.87±7. 05) points.Job burnout and each dimension were negative correlated with self-determination of the psycho-logical empower ( r=-0.25--0.34, P<0.05) and self-efficacy ( r=-0.08--0.53, P<0.05).The scores of role stressors were positively correlated with the scores of emotional exhaustion( r=0.17-0.43, P<0.05) and cynicism ( r=0.07-0.46, P<0.05) .Multiple regression analysis showed that age(β=-0.104) ,education lev-el(β=-0.237),seniority(β=-0.334),self-determination(β=-0.152),self-efficacy(β=0.127),role am-biguity(β=0.284),role overload(β=0.325) were influencing factors of nursing burnout.Conclusion -Nurses role stressors and psychological empower can predict nurses’ burnout, so nurse managers can in-crease the level of authority to relieve psychological job burnout by reducing caregiver stress source.
7.Research advances of baby body plethysmography
Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2014;29(16):1261-1264
Baby body plethysmography is a well-established technique of lung function determination,which is widely used to access the respiratory development and obstructive airway diseases by precisely measuring tidal breathing,functional residual capacity,and air way resistance.Babies who accept lung function measurements in the baby body plethysmography are under quiet state of spontaneous breathing without any subjective initiative,which results in multiplexed data acquisition,high precision and good repeatability.Clinical application of baby body plethysmography differs in different countries and areas,with the most intensive application in the German-speaking countries.In China,the clinical use of baby body plethysmography still remains in primary stage.Great progress has been achieved in its clinical use during the past 20 years,but there is still a lack of consensus on normal reference values or equations with which to interpret results,which has caused some trouble to diagnosis and identification of respiratory disease.In order to identify the nature and severity of airway disease,it is essential to understand the normal range of plethysmographic values that may occur in healthy infants of similar age,gender and body size.
8.Role of dopamine receptor in intestinal mucosal barrier change after brain injury in rats
Chinese Journal of Trauma 2014;30(7):735-739
Objective To investigate the effect of dopamine receptor in intestinal mucosal barrier function after brain injury in rats.Methods Twenty-four rats were allocated to control group,brain injury group,dopamine receptor group,and dopamine antagonist group according to the random number table,with 6 rats per group.Feeney' s weight-drop model was introduced to generate rat models of brain injury.Intestinal mucosal specimens were harvested at postoperative 7 days to evaluate intestinal mucosal morphology by HE staining,expressions of dopamine receptor D1 (DRD1) and dopamine receptor D2 (DRD2) by immunohistochemistry,and mRNA and protein expressions of DRD1 and DRD2 by real-time PCR and Western blot.Meantime,urinary samples were collected to measure lactulose to mannitol ratio (L/M) by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).Results Intestinal villus integrity was disrupted in brain injury group and dopamine receptor group when compared to control group,but it remained relatively intact in dopamine antagonist group.Ratio of L/M in brain injury group and dopamine receptor group was similar (0.192 ± 0.080 vs 0.183 ± 0.090,P > 0.05),far higher than 0.037 ± 0.008 in control group (P <0.01),but it was reversed in dopamine antagonist group (0.071 ± 0.008,P < 0.01).Real-time PCR showed DRD1 and DRD2 mRNAs expressed in brain injury group and dopamine receptor group were similar (0.764 ± 0.074 vs 0.718 ± 0.065,0.439 ± 0.051 vs 0.408 ± 0.090,P > 0.05),far higher than 0.189 ± 0.008 and 0.076 ± 0.011 in control group (P < 0.01),but both lowered in dopamine antagonist group (0.386 ± 0.071,0.270 ± 0.092,P < 0.01).estern blot analysis showed DRD1 and DRD2 proteins in brain injury group and dopamine receptor group were similar,but both were far higher when compared to control group (P < 0.01).Conclusion Impaired intestinal mucosal barrier may be relate to the up-regulated dopamine receptor in intestinal mucosa after brain injury in rats.
