Objective To investigate the effect of alternating shift on general well-being of nurses,and analyze its relationships with related factors. Methods Alternating shift nurses from general hospi-tals above courty-level in Liaocheng city who were engaged in clinical work were selected by duster sam-pling.Questionnnires were sent out and later gathered. The investigation tools included general well-being schedule(GWB) ,marital quality inventory, social support inventory, Eysenck personality questionnaire were used in survey. Results (1)There was difference in the score of general well-being between nurses with different ages and professional titles(P<0.01). (2)There was significant difference between GWB and oth-er factors such as marital quality,EPQ (psychoticism, neuroticism and introversion and extroversion), so-cial support(P<0.01). (3)Multivariable linear regression which took general well-being as dependent vari-able, the variables which entered the equation were neuroticism, family relationship,support utilization,psychoticism, objective support, introversion and extroversion, marriage satisfaction,arrangement of econ-omy. Conclusions (1)The older, the higher of professional tltles,the stronger general well-being of nurses. (2)Sabjective well-being and marital quality, social support, lying defense were positively corre-lated; neuroticism, psychoticism were negatively correlated. (3)Neuroticism, family relationship,support and utilization, psychoticism, objective Support, introversion and extroversion, marriage satisfaction,ar-rangement of economy can affect general well-being,among which neuroticism had great influence.

The study aims to solve the instability problem of methylphenidate (MPH) in plasma, and establish a LC-MS/MS method for simultaneous determining of MPH in human plasma. The stabilities of MPH in different media were studied, and the degradation characteristics of MPH in these media were also investigated by HPLC and LC-MS/MS. To a 200 microL aliquot of freshly collected plasma sample, 10 microL 2% formic acid was added immediately to prevent the hydrolysis of MPH in human plasma samples. Chromatographic separation was performed on a Sapphire C18 column using the mobile phase of methanol - 5 mmol.L-1 ammonium acetate buffer solution containing 0.1% formic acid (46 : 54). MPH was quantified by tandem mass spectrometry operating in positive electrospray ionization mode with multiple reaction monitoring. The detection used the transitions of protonated molecules at m/z 234.2-->84.1 for MPH and m/z 260.3-->183.1 for propranolol (IS), separately. The intra- and inter-assay precisions were all below 5.0%. The accuracies were all in standard ranges. The linear calibration curve was obtained in the concentration range of 0.035-40 ng.mL-1. The methods fulfilled the demand. The method was used to determine the concentration of MPH in human plasma after a single dose of 36 mg MPH tablet to 6 healthy Chinese volunteers. The method is suitable for the precisely determination of MPH and for pharmacokinetic study of MPH in human plasma.

Objective To discuss the treatment of ureteropelvic junction obstruction by laparoscopic pyeloplasty. Methods A retrospective review of consecutive laparoscopic pyeloplasty in 102 patients between September 2001 and December 2007 was performed. The ureterpelvic junction was dissected and the obstruction portion was excised. Anastomosis was then performed through the ureter and the renal pelvis walls with a stent. Results The mean operating time was 120 min and the average blood loss was 80ml. No major complication occurred intraoperative. The drainage was removed in 3-10 days. The average hospital stay was 8.5 days. The stent was kept for 30-60 days. IVU and B ultrasound examination revealed that the hydronephrosis alleviated during the follow-up and no anastomosis stricture occurred. Conclusions Laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty could provide lower morbidity, shorter hospital stay, and faster convalescence. It could be an effective treatment for ureteropelvic junction obstruction.
