Study on the status of turnover intention and its influencing factors of 382 hemato-oncology nurses / 中华劳动卫生职业病杂志

Objective: To explore the status of turnover intention and its influencing factors of hemato-oncology nurses. Methods: From September to November 2021, the convenience sampling method was used to select 382 hemato-oncology nurses from 8 tertiary grade A general hospitals in Shandong Province. The general information questionnaire, the Chinese Nurses' Work Stressor Scale, the Psychological Capital Questionnaire and the Turnover Intention Questionnaire were used to investigate the general situation, occupational stress, psychological capital and turnover intention of the objects. The correlations between the turnover intention, occupational stress and psychological capital of the objects were analyze by Pearson correlation. And the multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of turnover intention. A structural equation model was used to analyze the effect path of occupational stress and psychological capital on turnover intention. Results: The total turnover intention score of hemato-oncology nurses was (14.25±4.03), with the average item score of (2.38±0.67). The occupational stress score of hemato-oncology nurses was (71.57±14.43), and the psychological capital score was (91.96±15.29). The results of correlation analysis showed that the turnover intention of hemato-oncology nurses was positively correlated with occupational stress, and was negatively correlated with psychological capital (r=0.599, -0.489, P<0.001). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that married (β=-0.141), psychological capital (β=-0.156) and occupational stress (β=0.493) were the influencing factors of turnover intention of hemato-oncology nurses (P<0.05). The path analysis of structural equation model showed that the direct effect of occupational stress on turnover intention of hemato-oncology nurses was 0.522, and the intermediary effect of psychological capital on turnover intention was 0.143 (95%CI: 0.013-0.312, P<0.05), accounting for 21.5% of the total effect. Conclusion: The turnover intention of hemato-oncology nurses is at a high level, hospital and administrators should focus on the psychological state of unmarried nurses. By improving the psychological capital of nurses, to reduce occupational stress and turnover intention.

An alternative pathway for cellular protection in BRAF inhibitor resistance in aggressive melanoma type skin cancer.

Oncogenic alterations in the BRAF gene are identified in an estimate of 50% of melanomas and cause melanoma development. BRAF kinase inhibitors (BRAFi), including vemurafenib and dabrafenib, were discovered and used in the clinical treatment of BRAF-mutant metastatic melanoma. Though, BRAFi's therapeutic advantages are short term and short-lived associated with drug resistance. Although a few pathways of developed BRAFi resistance have also been established, in approximately 40% of melanomas, the cause for inherited resistance remains unclear. Recognizing a new process of developed BRAFi resistance might provide new possibilities to successfully treat BRAF mutant melanoma. In this study, we are exploring the compensatory alternative pathway followed by BRAFi/MEKi treated resistant cell for maintaining the long-term integrity and survival.

A secondary discoid lupus erythematosus induced by scald of edible oil: An illustration of Koebner phenomenon.

BACKGROUND: Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) is a most well-known clinical variation of chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus inside the spectrum of lupus erythematosus (LE). Cutaneous trauma remains a significant and peculiar causative factor for DLE. AIMS: We present a case wherein the patient demonstrated unilateral distribution of DLE on a clinically normal appearing occult facial scald of edible oil, representing Koebner phenomenon (KP) i.e. occurrence of a new skin disease at the site of an unrelated and already healed one. PATIENT/METHODS: The 53 years old female patient was unique because she experienced DLE on the nasal back. RESULTS: The injury was totally settled following a month treatment of oral hydroxychloroquine and topical 0.03% tacrolimus ointment. After three months, she encountered an accidental edible oil scald on the right upper cheek. Several small vesicles appeared on a soybean-sized erythema base with a burning sensation. CONCLUSION: We review the literature and conclude by discussing important histologic highlights to think about while endeavoring to perceive the fundamental character and pathogenicity of such sores.

Triplex forming oligonucleotide of PDGF-B chain combined with antisense oligonucleotide of VEGF inhibits glioma growth in rats / 第二军医大学学报

Objective: To observe the inhibitory effect of triplex forming oligonucleotede (TFO) of PDGF-B chain combined with antisense oligonucleotide (AON) of VEGF on glioma growth in rats. Methods: Thirty -six male SD rats received 1×106 C6 glioma cells/20 μl normal saline into the right caudate putamen by stereotactic technique. Group I (n=6) was treated in situ with 1.5 mg/20 μl TFO for 3 times on 8,11 and 14 d after glioma cell inoculation. Group II (n=12) and III (n=12) were respectively treated with TFO 1.5 mg+AON 0.125 mg/20 μl and TFO 1.5 mg+AON 0.250 mg/20 μl for 3 times on 8,11 and 14 d after glioma cell inoculation. Control group (n=6) was treated with 20 μl saline for 3 times at the same time pionts. Three weeks after cell inoculation, all rats were sacrificed to observe tumor growth and to determine the expression of PDGF-B,VEGF and PCNA. Results: The inhibiti on rate of tumor growth was 53.1% in group I, 81.4% in group II and 93.1% in group III, with significant difference found between the 3 groups (P<0.01). PDGF-TFO had obvious inhibitory effect on the expression of PDGF-B, VEGF and PCNA in C6 glioma cells;and PDGF-TFO combined with VEGF-AON had more potent inhibitory effect on the expression of PDGF-B, VEGF and PCNA in C6 glioma cells. Conclusion: PD GF-TFO combined with VEGF-AON has more potent inhibitory effect on tumor growth than PDGF-TFO alone.

Expression and location of UBAP1 protein associated with nasopharyngeal carcinoma / 中南大学学报(医学版)

OBJECTIVE@#To analyze the expression and location of coding protein of UBAP1 gene and to understand the relationship between the expression pattern of the protein and cell carcinogenesis.@*METHODS@#Bioinformatics was used to analyze the protein character to provide an available clue of subsequent research. The codon frame cDNA was amplified by PCR, and subcloned into enhance green fluorescence protein (EGFP) of pEGFP-C2. The recombinant plasmid was transfected into HNE1 cells. The expression of coding protein was observed by fluorescence microscopy.@*RESULTS@#The expressed GFP-fusion protein generated striking green fluorescence in the cytoplasm in HNE1 cells. EGFP/UBAP1 was expressed and existed mainly in the nuclear, especially accumulated on the nuclear envelope.@*CONCLUSION@#The expression difference in HNE1 might be related to the carcinogenesis of NPC.
