Quality issues are becoming increasingly relevant to the working lives of health care staff. We sought to assess the perceived work-related quality of life of staff working in a genitourinary medicine (GUM) department using a self-administered anonymous questionnaire focusing on areas from the Trust's staff charter. Over two-thirds (69%) of the staff members participated. Perceptions of working life were generally good within GUM. In particular staff felt valued as a resource with free expression of ideas, involvement in decision making, fair treatment and respect. Weaker areas were identified enabling a plan to be developed to address these. It is important to address quality in working life in order to achieve improvements.

Background: Regeneration plays a key role in energy recycling and homeostasis maintenance. Planarians, as ideal model animals for studying regeneration, stem cell proliferation, and apoptosis, have the strong regenerative abilities. Considerable evidence suggests that ubiquitin plays an important role in maintaining homeostasis and regulating regeneration, but the function of Ubiquitin specific proteases 7 (Usp7) on regeneration in planarians remains elusive.
