Objective To investigate the status of personality, family function and psychological resilience towards employed nurses, and to explore the relationship among personality, family function and psychological resilience. Methods Four instruments were applied to investigate 240 employed nurses from comprehensive Grade 3A hospital of Fujian Province, which were the Characteristics Questionnaire, Family Intimacy Scale (FACEⅡ-CV), Self-resilience Scale and Personality Traits Questionnaire. Results The correlation analysis showed that nurses′ personality traits, family functions and psychological resilience were closely related. The multiple regression and analysis showed that 40%of the variance for employed nurses′psychological resilience could be explained through considering personality dimensions, family cohesion and adaptability. Conclusions Personality, family functions and psychological resilience towards employed nurses are closely related as both internal and external protective factors.

In order to investigate whether Laribacter hongkongensis could be detected in stool samples of Rattus norvegicus in the wild,Rattus norvegicus were trapped alive in an urban community of Guangzhou,China over a period of one year from June 2015 to May 2016,and their stool samples were examined for the presence of L.hongkongensis strains.Isolates were identified based on phenotypic characteristics and 16S rRNA sequence analysis,and were examined for their susceptibility to 19 antimicrobial agents.Further typing of the isolates was performed using multi-loci sequence typing (MLST) analysis.A total of 191 R.norvegicus were trapped alive.L.hongkongensis was identified and successfully isolated from two samples,representing a prevalence of 1.05 ％.Although the two isolates possessed similar phenotypic characteristics and have no base difference of 16S rRNA gene,they constituted two new distinct sequence types (STs),ST-163 and ST-164.This is the first report that L.hongkongensis can be detected in the intestinal tract of R.norvegicus.Results suggest that R.norvegicus could serve as carriers of L.hongkongensis and therefore could be another potential source of infection.

Two cases of nevus of Ota resistant to multiple sessions of Q-switched laser treatment are reported.Both of the patients were females,who developed beige or blue patches on the left side of the face (zygomatic region,cheek)several months after birth.No conjunctiva or sclera was involved.The lesions spread to the left retroauricular region and posterior neck during pregnancy in one patient.Histopathological examination of the lesions showed scattered melanocytes and melanophages in lower dermis and subcutaneous adipose tissue as well as apparent proliferation of collagen.Immunostaining for CD34 showed no abnormality in the distribution of vascular endothelial cells in these tissues.No obvious improvement was observed in either of the patient after more than 10 sessions(12 sessions in 1 case,and 13 sessions in the other case)of treatments with Q-switched alexandrite(755 nm)or Q-switched Nd:YAG laser(1064 nm).The immediate response of lesions to laser irradiation was unusual.Purpura or errhysis was absent in the lesions after repetitive irradiation with high-energy laser,but both were visible in the adjacent normal skin even after irradiation with low-energy laser.

Objective To investigate the memory monitoring ability in patients with hepatolenticular degeneration(HLD) and explore the mechanism of their memory impairment.Methods The feeling-of-knowing (FOK) paradigm of episodic memory(EM) and semantic memory(SM)were established and subsequently applied to 30 HLD patients and 30 healthy control(HC) participants who were matched in age and educational level.Results Compared with healthy control group (FOK-EM recall (64.17 ± 29.21) ％ ; FOK-SM recall (84.72 ± 11.44)％),the FOK-EM recall((26.55±20.92)％) and FOK-SM recall((53.93±28.42)％) in HLD patients were significantly lower(t=-5.140,P＜0.01 ; t=-5.123,P＜0.01).The positive judgment and correct recognition of FOK-EM ((50.64±29.43) ％) and the negative judgment and correct recognition of FOK-EM((12.80± 18.32) ％) in the HLD group were significantly different from the HC group (the positive judgment and correct recognition of FOK-EM:(75.15±31.73)％ and the false judgment and correct recognition of FOK-EM:(1.81±5.41)％; t=-2.693,P＜0.05 ; t=3.026,P＜0.01).Most importantly,the stroop effect was positively correlated with the negative judgment and correct recognition of FOK-EM in HLD group(r=0.601,P＜0.01).Conclusion The results show that the HLD group underestimate their memory performance on episodic FOK,and the impairment of memory monitoring is positively correlated with the deficit of executive function,indicating that the prefrontal impairment can be an influential factor of memory disorder in HLD,whereas the unimpaired semantic metamemory FOK indicates the episodic and semantic metamemory monitoring may depend on different neural network.

0.05). Significant difference in diffused carbon monoxide percentage and change of heart rates before and after stair climbing test was found in LPF group (P0.05).Conclusions Patients of lung cancer intolerable for lobectomy by static pulmonary function test can be screened by stair climbing test before surgical operation,which can make some of them regain opportunity of surgical operation.

Objective:To evaluate one-year efficacy and safety of sirolimus-eluting stent with biodegradable polymer coating (EXCEL stent) in treating patients with coronary artery disease. Methods:One hundred consecutive hospitalized patients with coronary artery diseases exclusively treated with EXCEL stents were prospectively enrolled.After undergoing porcutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) all patients received dual anti-platelet therapy with clopidogrel and aspirin for 6 months and followed by aspirin alone.The primary end point was major adverse cardiac events(MACE) at 12 months.The secondary end points included binary in-stent restenosis rate(ISR)measured by quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) analysis at mean 8 months post the index PCI procedure,and MACE at 30 days and 6 months. Results:All patients were successfully treated with EXCEL stents during PCI procedure.Among all 153 target lesions,127 lesions were type B2/C complex lesions (83.0%).The mean length and diameter of the target lesions were 29.42?15.90 mm and 3.17?0.53 mm,respectively.A total of 211 EXCEL stents were implanted with average stent number of 2.02?1.53 per patient.The mean stent length and diameter were 35.34?17.35 mm and 3.23?0.46 mm,respectively.Four patients (4.0%) reached the primary end point at 12 months,which were 4 target lesion re-PCI due to ISR.No death,MI,or in-stent thrombosis occurred during the 6-month aspirin treatment alone after comleting 6-month dual anti-platelet therapy.QCA analysis of 112 le- sions of 75 patients showed 3.6% (4/112) of in-stent restenosis and 5.4% (6/112) of in-segment restenosis. Conclusions:The initial registry study showed that comparison with the published data from previous pivotal studies of others drug-eluting stents,the EXCEL stent revealed similarly incidence of 12-month ISR and/or MACE for the real world patients with coronary artery disease.The anti-platelet regimen of 6-month clopidogrel treatment after EXCEL implantation was safe.This con- clusion requires further investigation by large scale,multi-center,and longer-term follow-up clinical trials.

Objective To discuss the morbidity,etiology,treatment of postpartum hemorrhage.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed in 352 postpartum hemorrhage from October 1995 to October 2004.Results The morbidity of postpartum hemorrhage was 1.668%,the morbidity from 1998 to 2004(1.494%) was significantly lower than that from 1995 to 1997(2.078%)(P0.05).The chief reason of postpartum hemorrhage was uterine inertia.Conclusion Improvement the technic of caesarean section and prevention uterine inertia can reduce the morbidity of postpartum hemorrhage.

Objective To explore the cardiac differentiation of human embryonic stem cells(ESCs)in coculturing with human fetal cardiomyocytes.Methods Fetal cardiomyocytes and fibroblasts were obtained from the aborted fetus,and human ESCs were from the inner cell mass(ICM)of the surplus embryos for tube babies,with the treated fibroblast as feeder layer.Human ESCs of passage 2 to 5 were cocultured with fetal cardiomyocytes at the ratio of 1∶2,and the XY chromosome types of these two kinds of human cells were different to each other in order to be marked.At the same time,human ESCs without coculture were used as negative control.The cocultured cells were harvested 5 days later and were double-stained with human XY chromosome probe and cardiac specific antibody(desmin or cardiac troponin I,cTnI).Results On coculture day 5,40%-50% human ESCs expressed cardiac specific antigens,and human ESCs without coculture did not express those antigens.Conclusion Human ESCs could be induced into cardiac differentiation by the coculture with fetal cardiomyocytes,and hopefully they will be the candidate for cell transplantation of heart.

Nitric oxide (NO) is a multifunctional biomolecule involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes, including regulation of blood vessel dilatation and function as a neurotransmitter. However, a large amount of NO is toxic to the host and causes several diseases such as cardiovascular system diseases, septic shock, and diabetes mellitus. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress pathway was first identified as a cellular response pathway induced by the accumulation of unfolded proteins in ER to preserve ER functions. Later it was found that ER stress pathway is also activated by various cellular stresses to protect cells, but when stresses are severe, apoptosis is induced to remove damaged cells. It is reported that NO disturbs ER functions, then ER stress-mediated apoptosis pathway is activated. CHOP/GADD153, which belongs to C/EBP transcription factor family, is induced in this process and mediates apoptosis. ER stress pathway induced by NO is involved in the pathogenesis of various diseases.
