Objective To investigate the career resilience and its influencing factors among nurse specialists.Methods Totally 288 nurse specialists were investigated by General Information Questionnaire,Career Resilience Scale,Core Self-Evaluations Scale and Simplified Coping Style Scale.Results The score was 37.12±4.78 for career resilience,35.46±4.78 for core self-evaluations,23.57±5.2 1 for positive coping,and 9.39±3.74 for negative coping,respectively.There were statistic difference (P＜0.01) among the total score and 2 dimensions score of career resilience on different level of self-assessment of health among specialist nurses.Specialist nurses,career resilience had a obvious positive correlation with the age,nursing age,core self-evaluations,and positive coping(P＜ 0.01).The results of multivariate linear regression analysis showed that age,self-assessment of health,positive coping and core self-evaluations entered the regression equation of career resilience.Positive coping was a partial intermediate variable of core self-evaluations and career resilience.Conclusion The level of career resilience is medium and it should be enhanced among nurse specialists.The age,self-assessment of health,positive coping and core self-evaluations are possible influencing factors of career resilience.And core self-evaluations can improve career resilience of specialist nurses via the effects of positive coping.

Objective To investigate the level of psychological capital of nursing administrative personnel and analyze its influencing factors.Methods A total of 302 nursing administrative personnel of Anhui Province were investigated with Chinese Version of Nurses Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ-24) and a self-designed question-naire about demographic information.Results The overall score of psychological capital was (106.23±10.67) points,and the dimension scores from high to low were selfefficacy (26.79±3.40) points,resilience (26.60±3.25) points,hope(26.56±3.55) points,and optimism(26.27±3.34) points.Multiple regression analysis showed that health?level and positions entered the regression equation,t=2.904,1.838,P＜0.05.Conclusions The overall nursing administrative personnel psychological capital is in the middle level,health level and positions were influencing factors of nurses psychological capital.It is suggested that the psychological capital should be introduced into nursing administrative field and take diversified measured to improve their psychological capital.

Nitrogen is one of the most important nutrient elements for plants and a major limiting factor in plant growth and crop productivity. Glutamine synthase (GS) is a key enzyme involved in the nitrogen assimilation and recycling in plants. So far, members of the glutamine synthase gene family have been characterized in many plants such as Arabidopsis, rice, wheat, and maize. Reports show that GS are involved in the growth and development of plants, in particular its role in seed production. However, the outcome has generally been inconsistent, which are probably derived from the transcriptional and post-translational regulation of GS genes. In this review, we outlined studies on GS gene classification, QTL mapping, the relationship between GS genes and plant growth with nitrogen and the distribution characters, the biological functions of GS genes, as well as expression control at different regulation levels. In addition, we summarized the application prospects of glutamine synthetase genes in enhancing plant growth and yield by improving the nitrogen use efficiency. The prospects were presented on the improvement of nitrogen utility efficiency in crops and plant nitrogen status diagnosis on the basis of glutamine synthase gene regulation.

Objective To investigate the status of career resilience and job satisfaction among specialized nurses and to analyze the correlation between them.Methods Totally 288 specialized nurses were investigated with Career Resilience Scale and Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire.The correlation between career resilience and job satisfaction was analyzed using a Pearson correhtion analysis.Results The overall score of the career resilience was (37.12±4.78); the overall score of the job satisfaction was (68.51±7.87).They correlation coefficient between career resilience and job satisfaction was 0.310.Conclusions The level of career resilience and job satisfaction need to be enhanced among specialized nursing.There is a low to medium positive correlation between career resilience and job satisfaction.Measures should be carried out to enhance the nursing staffs' career resilience and to further improve their job satisfaction.

Objective To explore the mediating role of coping modes between illness perception and posttraumatic growth among patients with breast cancer. Methods Totally 300 patients with breast cancer were investigated with the posttraumatic growth inventory, brief illness perception questionnaire and medical coping modes questionnaire. Results The total score of illness perception was 40. 77 ± 6. 85. The scores of confrontation coping style,avoidance coping style and resignation coping style were 19.42±3.51, 17.78±2.79,8.64±3.35. The total score of posttraumatic growth was 57.38±10.48. Illness perception was negatively correlated with posttraumatic growth ( r=-0.743) ,confrontation( r=-0.568) and avoidance ( r=-0.621),positively related with resignation( r=0.727).Posttraumatic growth was positively correlated with confrontation and avoidance ( r=0.729, r=0.657) ,but negatively correlated with resignation( r=-0.757) (P<0.01) . Coping modes had a partial mediating effect on the relationship between illness perception and postt?raumatic growth. The total mediation effect value was 0.428,and the mediation effect was 57.60%,while con?frontation and resignation mediation effect value were -0. 191 and -0. 207, and the mediation effect were 25.70% and 27. 86%. But there was no statistical significance in avoidance mediation ( effect value was-0.030 and the mediation effect was 4.04%) . Conclusion Confrontation and resignation coping modes play a role multiple mediation effects between illness perception and posttraumatic growth.
