Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2016;32(3):161-165
Objective To investigate the current status of cognitive level of patient safety culture in intensive care unit (ICU) nurses and analyze the influencing factors.Methods Totally 373 ICU nurses were investigated with the general information questionnaire,the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture instrument (HSOPSC),the Report Barriers Questionnaire and the Condition of Work Effectiveness Questionnaire (CWEQ-Ⅱ).Results The mean rate of positive response on safety culture dimensions was 68.08% in ICU nurses,Organizational learning-continuous improvement was the safety culture dimension with the highest positive response(89.95%),the lowest positive response was staffing(35.53%).Multiple regression analysis showed that the meaning of report,punitive culture,resources,opportunity,formal empowerment and ICU department were influencing factors of patient safety culture (P < 0.05).Conclusions The level of patient safety culture in ICU nurses was medium,it remains a further improvement.Nursing managers should take targeted measures according to the influencing factors to enhance the cognitive level of patient safety culture in ICU nurses,strengthen the consciousness of safety culture,and improve the quality of intensive care.

Objective To investigate the expression of KLF4 in cervical carcinoma and its significance. Methods Immunohistochemistry and tissue microarray were used to examine the expression of KLF4 in 39 cases of carcinoma, 30 cases of normal cervical epithelial tissues and 28 cases of cervical cancer in situ. Results Moderate to strong nuclear staining for KLF4 was found in normal tissues and cervical cancer in situ. Interestingly, KLF4 expression was lost in 16 (P<0.05) of 39 carcinoma cases. However, KLF4 expression was not associated with clinicopathologic parameters, including tumor stage and differentiation. Conclusion Our observations indicate that KLF4 may function as a tumor suppressor in the pathogenesis of cervical cancer.

ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between novelty seeking and impulsivity behavior in rats.MethodsTwo models were used to test Novelty seeking,one was activity in a new environment model,the other was novel object preference model.And impulsivity was measured by T-maze.All rats(48) were used to examine the relationship between these two behaviour traits.ResultsNovelty seeking:the locomotor activities measured in a new environment for 30 min were (4695.58 ± 1579.87)cm,the exploring number of entries into the novel object area and time spending in the novel object area were respectively(20.92 ± 14.84)entries and (178.12± 135.22)s.Impulsivity:the average times of choosing low reward(LR) in the two test days were(4.71 ±2.71 ).Pearson product moment correlation was performed to investigate the relationship between these two behaviour traits,and the results suggested that there were notable correlation between novel object preference and impulsive decision making( r =0.295,P< 0.05 ),yet no significance were found between new environment activity and impulsive decision making.ConclusionNovelty seeking and impulsivity may be correlated with each other depending on different models.

Objective To evaluate the influence of a selective Rho-associated protein kinase inhibitor (fasudil hydrochloride) on outflow facility in enucleated porcine,rabbit and bovine eyes.Methods At the constant perfusion pressure of 15 mm-Hg (1 kPa =7.5 mmHg),the baseline coefficient of outflow facility (C0) of the isolated porcine,rabbit and bovine eyes was recorded respectively.The enucleated porcine eyes were divided into two groups randomly (n =6),and they were control group and experimental group.The same grouping method was also used-C0 the ribbit and bovine eyes.The control group was subjected to GPBS perfusion,while the experimental group was treated with 100 μmol · L-1 fasudil solution,followed by recording the experimental coefficient of outflow facility (C1),as well as calculating ΔC (ΔC =C1-C0) and ΔC% (ΔC% =ΔC/C0).Finally,the paired t test and one-way analysis of variance were performed using SPSS 17.0.Results As for porcine eyes,the ΔC% of the control group was (17.83 ± 3.84) % while the experimental group was (44.00 ± 6.44) %;as for rabbit eyes,the ΔC% of the control group was (15.50 ± 2.93) %,while the experimental group was (31.67 ±6.54)%;as for bovine eyes,the ΔC% of the control group was (11.67 ± 1.17)%,while the experimental group was (37.17 ± 4.48)%.The ΔC% in the experimental group was significantly increased when compared with the control group in three animals,with significant difference (all P < 0.05).There was no statistical difference in ΔC% of three experimental groups among different kinds of animals (all P < 0.05).Conclusion Fasudil can improve outflow facility in enucleated eyes of animals,and it can redistribute aqueous humor drainage to a wider area through directly regulating the cytoskeleton of cells and matrix,resulting in increased coefficient of outflow facility.

Objective To investigate the effects of paravertebral injection of different concentrations of adriamycin on motor conduction function in rats. Methods Eighty healthy male Wistar rats weighing 250-300 gwere randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 20 each): 3 adriamycin groups receiving paravertebral injection of 0.3%, 0.5% and 1.0% adriamycin 10 μl respectively (group A1, A2, A3) and control group (group C)receiving equal volume of normal saline (NS) instead of adriamycin. The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal 3% pentobarbital 40 mg/kg. A right paramedian incision was made in the back from L3 to S1.L4,5,5,6 intervertebral foramina were exposed. 0.3%, 0.5% and 1.0% adriamycin and NS 10 pl were injected into the intervertebral foramina in group A1, A2, A3 and C respectively. Spinal motor evoked pontential (SMEP)was measured at 1, 2, 4 and 8 weeks (T1-4)after paravertebral injection. Results The latent period of SMEP was significantly prolonged and the amplitude decreased at T1-4 in group A3 as compared with group A1, A2 and C.Conclusion Paravertebral injection of 1.0% adriamycin can significantly depress motor conduction function.
