Nursing Dilemmas in Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy: A Qualitative Study of a Tertiary Hospital in China.

Purpose: This study investigated the experience of oncology nurses caring for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuritis patients.

Patients And Methods: Through phenomenological research method, 11 nurses in a tertiary hospital in Shanghai were interviewed using face-to-face semi-structured interviews. Data analysis was conducted with the thematic analysis approach.

Changes of some anti-oxidative physiological indices under soil water deficits among 10 wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes at tillering stage.

Drought is one of the major ecological factors limiting crop production and food quality globally, especially in the arid and semi-arid areas of the world. Wheat is the staple food for more than 35% of world population and wheat cultivation is mainly restricted to such zones with scarcity of water, so wheat anti-drought physiology study is of importance to wheat production, food safety and quality and biotechnological breeding for the sake of coping with abiotic and biotic conditions. The current study is to investigate changes of anti-oxidative physiological indices of 10 wheat genotypes at tillering stage.

Relationship between water use efficiency (WUE) and production of different wheat genotypes at soil water deficit.

Through 2-year field experiments, 7 wheat genotypes were better in their field yield. These 7 wheat genotypes and other 3 wheat species, which are being popularized on a large scale in different locations of China, were selected as experimental materials for the sake of measuring their difference in WUE and production and comparing their relationship at soil water deficits, future more, providing better drought resistance lines and theoretical guide for wheat production and practices and exploring anti-drought physiological mechanisms of different wheat genotypes. Under the condition of 3 soil-water-stress treatments (75% field capacity (FC), 55% FC, 45% FC, named level 1, level 2 and level 3, respectively), pot experiments for them were conducted and the related data were collected from their life circle.

Understanding molecular mechanism of higher plant plasticity under abiotic stress.

Higher plants play the most important role in keeping a stable environment on the earth, which regulate global circumstances in many ways in terms of different levels (molecular, individual, community, and so on), but the nature of the mechanism is gene expression and control temporally and spatially at the molecular level. In persistently changing environment, there are many adverse stress conditions such as cold, drought, salinity and UV-B (280-320 mm), which influence plant growth and crop production greatly. Plants differ from animals in many aspects, but the important may be that plants are more easily influenced by environment than animals.
