Objective To explore the relationships among organization climate,psychological empowerment and job embeddedness by using path analysis.Methods A total of 514 clinical nurses from 26 departments in 3 hospitals were recruited by convenience cluster sampling method and investigated with demography questionnaire,Nurses Organizational Climate Scale,Psychological Empowerment Scale and Job Embeddedness Scale.Results The mean scores of organization climate,psychological empowerment and job embeddedness was (3.01±0.46),(3.27±0.44),(3.08±0.39).The predictors of job embeddedness of nurses were resources support,work experience,human resources management,marital status,job title,management support,quality management,and self-egicacy,explained 48.9％ of its variance; organization climate,psychological empowerment had direct positive influence on nurses' job embeddedness,explained 33.3％ of its variance.Conclusions Improvement and maintenance of sound organizational climate,increase the sense of psychological empowerment of nurses,are effective ways and means to increase the degree of job embedding of nurses.

OBJECTIVEThis study aims to synthesize MTO1 (a kind of oligodeoxynucleotides) and N-isopropylacrylamide-modified polyethylenimines (PEN) complexes (MT01/PEN) as well as to investigate the effect of the complexes on the expression of osteoprotegerin (OPG) and the receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) in the human osteoblast-like cell line MG63.

METHODSMG63 cells were transfected by MT01/PEN complexes formed with three different mass ratios (1:2, 1:4, 1:6) of MT01 to PEN. MT01 and MT01-s were used as positive control. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and real-time polymerase chain reaction were performed to estimate the amount of OPG and RANKL released into the culture media and in MG63 at 24, 48, 72 h.

RESULTSMG63 responded to the MT01/PEN complexes by significantly upregulating the OPG on the protein and mRNA levels (P < 0.05). The protein and mRNA levels of RANKL were lower in most of the groups with complexes, and the OPG/RANKL ratio were higher (P < 0.05). MG63 were affected by the MT01/PEN complexes with different mass ratios, particularly when the ratio was 1:6.

CONCLUSIONMT01 can enhance the promotion of ossification by establishing the delivery system with PEN.
