Abstract

Personnel costs make up approximately 70 percent of the operating expense of a hospital, and nursing service accounts for a large percentage of those personnel costs. It is imperative that nursing personnel be appropriately scheduled so that patient care units are properly staffed while personnel budgets are maintained. This hospital's centralized staffing function, supported by a computerized scheduling system, successfully handles all staffing situations with minimal involvement of professional nurses.

Molecular orbital study on the glutathione-dependent detoxication of ozonides.

The present paper describes a theoretical study on the mechanism underlying the reaction of cellular glutathione (GSH) with polyunsaturated fatty acid ozonides. The reaction can be catalyzed by glutathione S-transferases and leads to detoxication of the ozonides. Semi-empirical molecular orbital computer calculations suggest that the reaction of glutathione with ozonides involves a nucleophilic attack at one of the carbon atoms of the ozonide ring, instead of at one of the peroxidic oxygen atoms of the ozonide ring. This implies a mechanism different from that of the glutathione S-transferase-mediated reaction with hydroperoxides, previously proposed for the glutathione-dependent detoxication of fatty acid ozonides.
