BackgroundThe professional self-concept of nurses is a crucial indicator for their personal growth, development and career planning. Previous studies have shown that work stressors during the internship period may lead to a decrease in the level of professional self-concept among nursing students. Given the existing differences in social roles between nursing students and clinical nurses, the influencing factors of professional self-concept in clinical nurses and its relationship with work stressors require further research. ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between work stressors and professional self-concept among nurses, so as to provide references for improving the level of professional self-concept of clinical nurses. MethodsFrom December 2022 to February 2023, a stratified random sampling method was employed to select 260 in-service nurses from Mianyang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine as the study subjects. Chinese Nurses Stressor Scale (CNSS) and Professional Self-concept of Nurses Instrument (PSCNI) were used for assessment. Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to examine the correlation between CNSS scores and PSCNI scores of nurses. Multiple linear regression analysis was utilized to explore the factors influencing the professional self-concept of nurses. ResultsA total of 238 nurses (91.54%) completed valid questionnaires. PSCNI total score yielded a statistical difference among nurses with different marital statuses (F=8.947, P<0.05). PSCNI total scores were significantly higher in nurses with emergency medical service experience than those without such experience (t=2.208, P<0.05), and were significantly lower in nurses with abnormal physical examination findings in the past year than those without abnormal findings (t=-2.584, P<0.05). Correlation analysis revealed that CNSS total score and subscale scores were negatively correlated with PSCNI total score (r=-0.275~-0.169, P<0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that work expectation-related stressors, marital status and emergency medical service experience might be influencing factors of their professional self-concept (β=-0.350, 0.345, 0.183, P<0.01). ConclusionNurses' work stressors are closely correlated with their professional self-concept, and high levels of stressors related to nurses' expectations may lead to a decrease in their professional self-concept levels.

Chinese Journal of Medical Physics 2024;41(7):821-827
Objective To explore the brain network and its topological properties in schizophrenia patients using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging(rs-fMRI).Methods Thirty-five schizophrenia patients(patient group)and 35 healthy subjects(control group)from the Center of Biomedical Research Excellence were collected,and the regional homogeneities of the two groups were calculated for statistical analysis.Dosenbach's 160 atlas was used to examine the whole brain functional network,and extract two sub networks of the whole brain network(default mode network and somatic motor network)for constructing a new network.The topological properties of the whole brain network and the new network were calculated.Results In schizophrenia patients,the functional connectivity between default mode network and somatic motor network and that within the default mode networks were significantly weakened(P<0.05,FDR corrected);the clustering coefficient of the whole brain network was decreased;and the global and local efficiencies of the network composed of default mode network and somatic motor network were reduced(P<0.05).Conclusion Abnormal functional connectivity is found between default mode network and somatic motor network and within default mode network in schizophrenia patients,and the significant changes of topological properties between default mode network and somatic motor network may be the key factor.In addition,this conclusion can be applied to qualitative analysis of the brain neuron stochastic differential equations corresponding to default mode network and somatic motor network,which is helpful for the physical therapy for schizophrenia.

Primary acinic cell carcinoma (ACC) of the lung is extremely rare. The World Health Organization tumor classification defines ACC as "a malignant epithelial neoplasm that demonstrates some cytological differentiation towards (serous) acinar cells". It is considered to be a low-grade malignant tumor. Since the first case described by Fechner in 1972, less than 30 cases have been reported in the literature. The rarity of this tumor may leads it to be confused with other primary lung tumors and incorrectly diagnosed. We reported a female patient with primary ACC of the lung with mediastinum deviation at age of 27 years received a right pneumonectomy. She was followed up for 12 months postoperatively and remains well.
