Objective To study the main factors affecting the preparation of osthol ( Ost ) loaded solid lipid nanoparticies ( SLN ) . Methods The SLN were prepared by melt-homogenization method. The optimum formulation and process were selected by orthogonai design. The shape, particle size, loading capacity were investigated. Results The obtained Ost-loaded SLN were sphere or oval at a range of 100-200 nm, and were well distributed without adhesion, the loading capacity was 59. 78%. Conclusion The melt-homogenization method is available for the preparation of Ost loaded SLN.

Objective To explore the relationship between job stressors,montal health and intention to quit of pediatric nurses by comparing with nurses in internal medicine department. Methods Job stressors, mental health,intention to quit of pediatric nurses and their relationship were investigated among nurses in above mentioned wards from three third-level and first-class hospitals by using questionnaires. Results The scores of some factors of job stressors and nine factors of SCL- 90 of pediatric nurses were much higher than those of internal medicine nurses. There was a significantly positive correlation between some factors of job stressors, mental health and intention to quit of pediatric nurses. Conclusions Working pressure is a factor of low mental health level and intention to quit of pediatric nurses. Effective management strategies should be imple-mented to protect the mental health of pediatric nurses and decrease the loss of nurses.
