Objective To identify the conflict management strategies of staff nurses in Macau. Methods The Thomas -Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI)was employed in the study to investigate the conflict management strategies of a convenience sample of 140 staff nurses who were pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (Supplementary) Programme in Macau. Results The most commonly used strategy by staff nurses in Macau for conflict management was accommodation, followed by avoidance, then compromise. In contrast, the least often used strategy was competition. Conclusions Chinese culture as well as nursing education background should be fully considered when developing the training plan of conflict man -agement strategies for staff nurses in Macau.

Abnormal aggregation of α-synuclein(α-Syn) is thought to be a key event in the pathogenesis of Parkinson disease (PD). In recent years, it was shown that above 90% of α-Syn deposited in Lewy bodies in brain tissues from patients with PD is phosphorylated, which suggested that α-Syn phosphorylation be connected with the occurrence of PD. Several kinds of phosphokinases can make α-Syn phosphorylated, however the precise roles of these phosphokinases in PD are less clear.

As an independent subject, TCM psychology appeared in 1980s, but it could be traced back to the book, the Inner Canon of Huangdi (Huangdineijing) formed in Qin and Han Dynasties. Physicians in the later generations developed TCM psychology based on that occurred in the Inner Canon of Huangdi, which made it became mature gradually, and Sun Simiao was one representative figure among them. The fundamental features of TCM psychological theory of Sun Simiao are summarized here.

Objective: To compare the proteomic differences in early cervical carcinoma tissues with various radiosensitivities and provide the basis for determining of radiosensitivity-associated proteins in cervical carcinoma. Methods: The fresh carcinoma tissues were collected from 10 untreated cervical carcinoma patients and preserved at - 80C. According to WHO Criterion of Therapeutical Effect of Solid Carcinoma, the tissues were classified into two groups: high sensitive group (HS) and low sensitive group (LS). The total protein was extracted and separated by using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE). The PD-quest 7.0 software was used to perform image matching and difference analysis to identify the differentially expressed protein-spots between the two groups. The identified protein spot was cut in electrophoretic gel in situ, digested with trypsin, and analyzed by Matrix-assisted Laser Desorption/ Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). The peptide mass fingerprintings (PMF) was obtained. The proteins were identified by data searching in the Mascot database. Some differentially expressed proteins were confirmed by Western blotting. Results: The constructed two-dimensional gel electrophoresis profiles had high resolution and good reproducibility for both HS and IS groups. There were (754 + 64) differentially expressed protein spots (n = 5) in HS group and (777 ± 48) in LS group (n = 5). Some protein spots with differential ratio more than 2-fold were selected and analyzed by mass spectrometry. The average matching rate was 87.6% between the two groups. Eight differentially expressed proteins were successfully identified among which five proteins had overexpression and three proteins had weak expression in HS group. The results of Western blotting were consistant with proteomic screening. Conclusion: There was significant difference in protein profilings between HS and LS early cervical carcinoma after radiotherapy. The differentially expressed proteins may be radiosensitivity-associated proteins.
