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.

Objective:This study aimed to clarify the clinical characteristics of children infected with rhinovirus in the context of the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and to explore the impact of recent COVID-19 infection history on their clinical features.Methods:Clinical data and laboratory test result of 286 children diagnosed with rhinovirus infection at Hangzhou Children′s Hospital from July 2022 to October 2023 were collected. A retrospective survey was conducted to determine whether all study participants had a history of COVID-19 infection within the 6 months prior to hospitalization.Results:Among the 286 children with rhinovirus infection, 180 (62.94%) had simple rhinovirus infection, while 106 (37.06%) had co-infections with other pathogens; Among the 180 rhinovirus simplex-positive children, 56.67% had wheezing symptoms; among them, 15 cases (15/180, 8.33%) were diagnosed with acute asthma attacks; 7 cases (7/180, 3.88%) were diagnosed with severe pneumonia. Based on whether the children had a history of COVID-19 infection in the 6 months prior to hospitalization, they were divided into a group with previous COVID-19 infection and a group without previous COVID-19 infection. There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of gender, age of onset, peak fever, incidence of wheezing, incidence of pneumonia, proportion of severe pneumonia, proportion of severe asthma attacks, duration of fever, time to relief of wheezing, length of stay, white blood cell count, eosinophil count, C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, immunoglobulin E, oxygen therapy requirements, and use of intravenous steroids ( P>0.05). Conclusions:A history of COVID-19 infection in the past 6 months does not exacerbate the clinical symptoms of children with rhinovirus infection, nor does it increase the incidence of wheezing.

Objective To explore the multiple mediating role of positive psychological capital and adaptive emotion expression between individual social capital and humanistic care ability in nursing students. Methods From December 2018 to August 2019,the study selected 238 undergraduate nursing students of Grade 2015 to 2018 by cluster stratified sampling as subjects in a medical university. All of students were investigated with the Caring Ability Inventory, Individual Social Capital Questionnaire, Positive Psychological Capital Scale and Emotional Expression Questionnaire in college students of China. Structure equation model was used to analyze the correlations among the variables. Results Among 238 nursing students, the scores of humanistic care ability, individual social capital, positive psychological capital, inhibitory emotion expression, adaptive emotion expression and excessive emotion expression were (185.79±17.52), (20.26±2.38), (125.24±17.71), (17.23±3.86), (20.85±3.91) and (9.70±3.97) respectively. Individual social capital, positive psychological capital, adaptive emotion expression and humanistic care ability had positive correlations with each other (r=0.223-0.627,P<0.01). Multiple mediating effect model analysis showed that the positive psychological capital and adaptive emotion expression had multiple mediating roles between individual social capital and humanistic care ability in nursing students(P<0.05). The relative mediating effects of positive psychological capital, adaptive emotion expression and chain mediation were 83.37%, 11.64 % and 4.77% respectively. Conclusions Nursing students have a low level of humanistic care ability with the adaptive emotion expression. Nursing educators can improve nursing students' individual social capital, enrich their positive psychological capital and strengthen their adaptive emotion expression so as to cultivate the humanistic care ability.
