Dealing with feelings: who is the victim?

The nurse is an essential member of the child abuse team. Provision of care to identified abusive families requires intense, long-term intervention. Without a clear understanding of the emotions being experienced by family unit and the professionals involved in their care, progress will be limited. It is the responsibility of the nurse to identify and work through feelings, to recognize factors contributing to the family's behavior, and to provide quality care. Anger, shock, or pity inhibit effective treatment. The nurse is not expected to feel positively about injury of a child, but is required to take the steps necessary to understand the dynamics of abuse.

Circular dichroism comparative studies of two bacterial collagenases and thermolysin.

The recently isolated and purified collagenase produced by Achromobacter iophagus, the collagenase from Clostridium histolyticum, and thermolysin, three enzymes having common properties, were studied by circular dichroism. From the spectra of the aqueous solutions obtained in the peptide region, the fraction of alpha helix, beta sheet and aperiodic segments in the three proteins could be estimated. Good similarity was found between Achromobacter collagenase and thermolysin, which both contain a high fraction of alpha helix. Side-chain contributions were analyzed in the aromatic region of thespectra: effects of pH and of organic solvents were observed, showing the strong influence of surroundings on the stabilization of the proteins.
