Objective To explore the safety and efficacy of resistance training (RT) and aerobic exercise (AT) for low back pain during pregnancy. Methods From June to October, 2015, 34 women gestated 20-23 weeks with low back pain accepted resistance training and aero-bic gymnastics exercises twice a week for 12 weeks. They were measured with blood pressure and body mass index (BMI), and assessed with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of pain, Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) before and after treatment. They were investigated the injury and symptoms with questionnaire. Results No musculoskeletal injuries and groin bleeding occurred. Symptoms, such as dizziness and pelvic pain were infrequent (1.5%). The BMI increased (t=-5.791, P<0.001) and the blood pressure did not obviously change (t=1.441, P=0.159). The muscle strength (t=-5.081, P<0.001) and endurance (t=-5.019, P<0.001) increased, and the scores of VAS (t=-5.179, P<0.001), ODI (t=-5.206, P<0.001) and SAS (t=-5.024, P<0.001) significantly improved after treatment. Con-clusion The resistance training combined with aerobic training program during pregnancy is safe and efficacious for pregnant women with low back pain.

AIM: To study the expression of glycine receptor (GlyR) in adult rat cardiac tissue and cultured cardiomyocytes from neonatal rat hearts. METHODS: Total RNA and membrane protein were extracted from cardiac tissue of adult rats and primary cultured cardiomyocytes from neonatal rat hearts, ?1 and ? subunits mRNA and protein of GlyR were detected with the method of reverse transcription nest DNA polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blotting. RESULTS: The mRNA and protein expression of ? subunit were identified in the adult rat heart tissue and cultured cardiomyocytes, similar to the sequence and immunogenicity generated from GlyR ? subunit of the rat spinal cord; for ?1 subunit, mRNA was found in only cultured cardiomyocytes. CONCLUSION: These data demonstrate that adult rat cardiac tissue and cultured cardiomyocytes from neonatal rat hearts express mRNA and protein of GlyR subunits similar to the GlyR that expresses in the spinal cord, suggesting that GlyR exists in the membrane of the rat cardiomyocytes.

AIM: To investigate whether glycine receptor is involved in the protection of glycine against(anoxia/reoxygenation) injury in cardiomyocytes by detecting oxygen free radical metabolism,apoptosis and intracellular calcium overload.METHODS: The neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were cultured and exposed to anoxia and reoxygenation((A/R)) in the presence of glycine receptor antagonist,glycine or in free chloride buffer.The superoxide dismutase(SOD) activity,the contents of malondialdehyde(MDA) and nitric oxide(NO),the intracellular free calcium concentration and the apoptotic rate in the cardiomyocytes were determined.RESULTS: SOD activity and NO content in cardiomyocytes were lower,but MDA content,intracellular free calcium concentration and apoptotic rate in cardiomyocytes were higher in A/R group than those in control.Pretreatment with glycine inhibited the above changes caused by A/R,which was reversed by strychnine treatment and in the free chloride medium.CONCLUSIONS: Glycine inhibits free radical production,attenuates calcium overload,decreases apoptotic rate and increases SOD activity and NO release in cardiomyocytes exposed to(A/R).These findings suggest that glycine exerts a protective effect against A/R injury via glycine receptor and glycine protects the neonatal rat cardiomycytes from A/R-induced injury in a chloride-dependent manner.

Objective:To investigate the status of clinical nurses′ professional identity, structural empowerment and psychological empowerment, analyze the correlation between professional identity and structural empowerment and psychological empowerment, and establish a multiple stepwise regression model to discuss the dependence between professional identity and structural empowerment and psychological empowerment in clinical nurses.Methods:A total of 1 008 clinical nurses from Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Medical School of Nanjing University were selected as the subject by using the convenience sampling method. The General Information Questionnaire, Professional Identity Scale, Conditions of Work Effectiveness Scale, and Psychological Empowerment Scale were used to questionnaire.Results:The professional identity of nurses was at medium level (104.49±19.54), the total scores of structural and psychological empowerment of nurses were 60.09±13.49 and 42.59±7.31. Correlation analysis showed that the total score of professional identity of clinical nurses was positively correlated with the total score of structural empowerment, psychological empowerment and theirs dimensions ( r values were 0.436-0.715, P<0.01). Multivariate stepwise regression results showed that the nurse working years, health status self-assessment, formal empowerment, informal empowerment, work meaning, self-efficacy, work influence was the main influencing factors of nurses professional identity, which explained 60.5% of the total variation. Conclusions:Nursing managers should focus on the professional identity of clinical nurses, by optimizing the management organizational structure and pay attention to the perception of empowerment behavior to improve the comprehensive empowerment level, so as to enhance the professional identity of nurses.

Objective:To explore the incidence and degree of compassion fatigue in clinical nurses, and the effects of psychological empowerment on nurses' compassion fatigue level.Methods:A total of 1 005 clinical nurses were investigated with the general information, Chinese version of Professional Quality of Life Scale, Psychological Empowerment Scale. And the relationship between different degrees of compassion fatigue and psychological empowerment were analyzed by ordinal regression analysis.Results:The incidence of sympathetic fatigue was 93.0%,(935/1 005), mild was 53.8%(541/1 005), medium was 22.7%(228/1 005), severe was 16.5%(166/1 005). The score of Chinese version of Professional Quality of Life Scale three dimensions: compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress of clinical nurses were 34.15±5.53, 23.96±5.10, 23.73±5.92. The degree of compassion fatigue was negatively correlated with psychological empowerment score and score of each dimension( r values were 0.094-0.468, all P<0.05). The ordinal regression analysis indicated that job impact(odds ratio(OR) value was 1.095, 95% credible interval( CI) 0.094-0.236, P<0.01), self-efficacy( OR value was 0.920, 95% CI 0.250-0.054 , P<0.01) and job meaning( OR value was 0.820, 95% CI 0.431-0.240, P<0.01) were the independent risk factor of compassion fatigue level. Conclusions:The nurses mainly showed mild compassion fatigue, and main manifestation is secondary traumatic stress. The nurses who had more higher job impact scores were more likely to report higher levels of empathy fatigue, while nurses who had higher job meaning and self-efficacy scores were more likely to have low levels of empathy fatigue. Therefore, it is suggested that nursing managers should carry out timely intervention and management in accordance with the different level of compassion fatigue:improve nurses' perception of work meaning and self-efficacy, and avoid increasing workload while paying attention to the influence of work on perception level.
