Objective To investigate the effect of independent on duty assessment in the process of new nurse standardized training.Methods Totally 64 new nurses graduated in 2010 were set as the control group.Totally 68 new nurses graduated in 2011 were named as the observation group.The nurses in the control group received hospital standardized training,on the basis of the hospital standardized training,the observation group received independent on duty training.One year later,all nurses participate in the assessment of independent on duty organized by nursing department and the evaluation results were analyzed.Results The score of emergency response capacity of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group.Conclusions The implementation of the independent on duty assessment can strengthen the results of standardized training and promote emergency ability of new nurses,and effectively improve the ability of new nurses in clinical work.

Taxus suspension cell culture has the potential to provide a sustainable source of anticancer drug paclitaxel (Taxol) and other taxoids. In the cell culture of Taxus chinensis, Taxuyunnanine C (Tc) is the primary taxoid. To design a rational strategy for redirecting the precursor fluxes from other taxoids into paclitaxel production, we employed Real-time Quantitative PCR (RQ-PCR) to understand the dynamic profiling of key biosynthetic pathway genes of palcitaxel and taxoids during the culture process. Six genes (TASY, TDAT, T5alphaH, TalphaH, T10betaH and T14betaH) were quantified under the process condition of double elicitation by 2,3-dihydroxylpropanyl jasmonate (DHPJA) (100 micromol/L on day 7 and day 12), and sucrose feeding (20 g/L) on day 7. This process treatment led to a high accumulation of Tc at (554.46 +/- 21.28) mg/L 8 days after the first elicitation. Then 9 days after the second elicitation, Tc production was as high as (997.72 +/- 1.51) mg/L. The early pathway genes TASY and TDAT were significantly up-regulated by 182-fold and 98-fold, respectively for the first DHPJA elicitation and by 208-fold and 131-fold, respectively for the second elicitation. The induction occurred after each elicitation lasted for about 24 h before their abundances decreased. Things are somewhat different in the case of the other four genes T5alphaH, TalphaH, T10betaH and T14betaH. For gene TalphaH, it was highly up-regulated by 3061-fold for the first DHPJA elicitation and by 1016-fold for the second elicitation. For the other three genes T5alphaH, T10betaH, T14betaH, they were up-regulated by 13-fold, 38-fold and 20-fold, respectively for the first DHPJA elicitation and by 7-fold, 16-fold and 6-fold, respectively for the second elicitation. The RQ-PCR results showed that there is tight correlation between gene expression and Tc accumulation. Gene expression was in accordance with Tc yield. Elicitation could improve expression of six genes. While along with culture course, high expression of the genes weakened. Elicitation for the second time would promote high expression of the genes again.

Parkinson disease(PD)is the second most common neurodegenerative disease,and its motor and non-motor symptoms seriously affect the patients' quality of life.The existing methods of evaluation of PD contain a lot of shortages,such as inter-rater variability and recall bias,which promote patients,clinicians and researchers to have a strong demand for more objective and long-term assessment and monitoring methods.The wearable device-based quantitative technology,which is easy to operate and have the features of objective quantification,daily permanence and meticulous accuracy,makes it have an extensive series of perspective and advantage for application in the management of PD.This article describes,and illustrates with several examples,the applications of wearable devices in the diagnosis and treatment of various motor symptoms such as bradykinesia,resting tremor,gait disorder,motor fluctuation,dyskinesia and non-motor symptoms.We also discuss its current limitations and future directions.
