ABSTRACT
Objective To survey the current situation and explore the association between empathic ability and job adjustment disorder of pediatric nurses. Methods The Jefferson scale of empathy health professionals and job adjustment disorder scale were used for the survey among 189 pediatric nurses. Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the association between empathic ability and job adjustment disorder of pediatric nurses. Results The total score of empathic ability of pediatric nurses was (76.32 ±5.03), the score of their job adjustment disorder was (23.69 ±6.03). Their empathic ability and its dimensions were significantly negatively related with job adjustment disorder (P ＜0.01). Conclusions The empathic ability of pediatric nurses was at a medium to low level, job adjustment disorder was at a medium to high level. The higher level of pediatric nurses' empathic ability, the lower level of job adjustment disorder is. Hospital staff should take measures to improve pediatric nurses' empathic ability, and the pediatric nurses themselves should also actively cultivate their own perception, and improve the empathic ability so as to better acclimatize themselves to pediatric nursing job and reduce the degree of job adjustment disorder.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the role of GRK5 in sustained β adrenergic receptor (βAR)-stimulated increased levels of oxidative stress.Methods Male SD rats (180-200 g) were separated into 4 groups according to the random principal: control group (CTRL), control with NAC supplement group (CTRL+NAC), ISO treated group (ISO), and ISO treated with NAC supplement group (ISO+NAC), with 6 rats in each group.ISO group was treated by method of intraperitoneal injection for 3 mg/(kg· d).CTRL rats received same volume of physiological saline by same method, while NAC was treated by supplement in drinking water for 15 g/L per day.After 2 weeks of treatment, BP, heart mass index (HMI), histology changes, expression of NOX4 and GRK5 of myocardium was examined.Results HMI of ISO rats was significantly higher than that of the CTRL group [(3.99±0.10 vs 3.31±0.13) mg/g, P＜0.05], and the cardio-myocyte cross-sectional area of ISO group was also significantly increased compared with CTRL group [(11 117.00±387.57 vs 4572.23±176.39) μm, P＜O.05].ISO+NAC significantly reduced the ISO-induced increases of heart weight index (3.56±0.12 mg/g, vs ISO, P＜0.05) and myocyte cross-sectional area (6160.33±141.44 μm2, vs ISO,P＜0.05).The immunohistochemistry results showed that the expression of myocardial NOX4 of ISO group was significantly higher than that of CTRL group [(10.59±1.61 vs 4.35±1.65), P＜0.05], and NAC reduced the ISO induced NOX4 expression increase [(4.67±1.25 vs 10.59±1.61), P＜0.05].Western Blot and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the protein expression of myocardial GRK5.Both results showed that there were no significant differences between ISO and CTRL, ISO+NAC and ISO group (P＞0.05).RT-qPCR detected no significant differences of myocardial GRK5 mRNA expression between ISO and CTRL, ISO+NAC and ISO groups (P＞0.05).Arterial blood pressure showed no significant difference among the 4 groups of rats (P＞0.05).No significant differences were found between rats from CTRL+NAC and CTRL group.Conclusions In the mechanism of sustained βAR-stimulated cardiac hypertrophy, GRK5 may not participate the regulation of hypertrophy-induced factor, and this process needs to be proved in further study.
