ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of long non-coding RNA FEZ family zinc finger 1 antisense RNA 1(lncRNA FEZF1-AS1)on enhancer of zeste homolog 2(EZH2)in regulation of proliferation,migration,invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)of pulmonary interstitial cells and its mechanism.Methods The A549 cells human lung adenocarcinoma cell line were divided into control group and model group[model cells were induced into lung interstitial cells after being treated with transforming growth factor β1(TGF-β1)20 ng/mL for 48 h].The protein expression of E-cadherin,N-cadherin and vimentin in each group was detected by Western blot.The expression of lncRNA FEZF1-AS1 and EZH2 in the two groups was detected by RT-qPCR.Cells in the trans-fection group were divided into si NC group,lncRNA FEZF1-AS1+OE vector group and si lncRNA FEZF1-AS1+OE EZH2 group.Cell proliferation was examined by CCK-8 method,cell migration was detected by cell scratch,and cell invasion was detected by Transwell assays.The protein expression of E-cadherin,N-cadherin,vimentin and EZH2 in each group was detected by Western blot.The direct binding effect of FEZF1-AS1 and EZH2 was deter-mined by RNA immuno-precipitation(RIP).Results Compared with the control group,the protein expression level of E-cadherin in the model group was significantly decreased(P<0.05),and the protein expression of N-cadherin and vimentin was significantly increased(P<0.05).Compared with the control group,the expression level of lncRNA FEZF1-AS1 and EZH2 genes was significantly increased in the model group(P<0.05).Compared with si NC group,the proliferation,migration and invasion ability of si lncRNA FEZF1-AS1+OE vector group were decreased,the ex-pression of E-cadherin protein was increased while the expression of N-cadherin,vimentin and EZH2 was decreased(P<0.05).Compared with si lncRNA FEZF1-AS1+OE vector group,the proliferation,invasion and migration of si lncRNA FEZF1-AS1+OE EZH2 group were increased(P<0.05).E-cadherin expression was decreased,while N-cad-herin,vimentin and EZH2 expressions were increased(P<0.05).RIP experiment further confirmed that lncRNA FEZF1-AS1 had direct binding effect with EZH2.Conclusions LncRNA FEZF1-AS1 can promote the proliferation,invasion,metastasis and EMT process of pulmonary fibrosis cells by regulating EZH2.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To analyze the current status of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), work fatigue and musculoskeletal pain in Chinese occupational population, and to study the relationship between work fatigue and musculoskeletal pain and WMSDs. Methods: A total of 66 961 employees from 323 enterprises in 15 key industries in China were selected as the study subjects using stratified cluster sampling method. The incidence of WMSDs in the past year was investigated using the Chinese version of the Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire, and the work fatigue and musculoskeletal pain were investigated using Borg 6-20 Rating of Perceived Exertion Scale and visual analogue scale. The data were standardized using the age composition data of 18 to 60 years from the seventh national population census. Results: The standardized annual incidence of WMSDs was higher in the front-line workers than that in the administrative and other supportive staff (38.82% vs 36.30%). The detection rates of work fatigue and musculoskeletal pain in the study subjects were 44.54% and 63.08%, respectively. The result of S-curve fitting showed that the risk of WMSDs increased with the level of work fatigue (P<0.01). Among the front-line workers, the average of monthly fatigue frequency in the neck, shoulder, lower back, upper back, wrist/hand, foot and ankle, knee, leg, and elbow were higher in the group with WMSDs compared to those without WMSDs (all P<0.01). The pain degree of musculoskeletal pain was higher in all nine sites in the fatigued group than in the no-fatigue group (all P<0.01). The standardized detection rate of musculoskeletal pain was higher in the fatigued group than in the non-fatigued group (80.38% vs 25.71%). The work fatigue was moderate and positively correlated with musculoskeletal pain in all seven sites except the lower back and elbow, with Kendall Tau-b correlation coefficients ranging from 0.423 to 0.546 (all P<0.01). Conclusion: There is a good correlation between work fatigue and local musculoskeletal pain, work fatigue and WMSDs in Chinese occupational population. Implementing ergonomic interventions to control the development of work fatigue can be an effective measure for preventing WMSDs.
ABSTRACT
Background Prolonged awkward postures during occupational activities can lead to excessive musculoskeletal load on the wrist of workers and symptoms such as wrist pain or discomfort. Objective To survey the prevalence of wrist pain among workers in 10 key industries and analyze its correlation with wrist working postures. Methods By using stratified cluster sampling method, workers from 10 key industries, such as footwear manufacturing industry, shipbuilding manufacturing industry, and automobile manufacturing industry, were selected from seven regions in North China, East China, Central China, South China, Southwest China, Northwest China, and Northeast China. The demographic information, wrist working postures, pain in wrist of the workers were collected through a cross-sectional survey. Pearson χ2 test was used to compare prevalence by selected factors, trend χ2 test for between group comparison, and unconditional logistic regression models for the association of wrist working postures with wrist pain. Results There were 64052 workers enrolled in this survey, and 56286 provided valid questionnaires (the effective rate was 87.8%). According to the survey, the prevalence of wrist pain was 23.3% (13112/56286), and the industries with higher prevalences were footwear manufacturing (27.1%, 1927/7106), automobile manufacturing (24.9%, 5378/21560), and shipbuilding and related equipment manufacturing (24.4%, 850/3488) industries.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the health status of high-radon exposure miners in a typical non-uranium mine in Jiangxi Province, China. Methods A general survey was conducted to investigate the basic situation and awareness rate of radon among underground miners aged ≥ 40 years, and the occupational health examination and low-dose lung computed tomography scan were carried out. Results The awareness rate of radon among miners working down the mine was only 3.70%. The peripheral blood lymphocyte chromosome aberration analysis showed an aberration rate of 0% per 100 cells. The peripheral blood lymphocyte micronucleus test showed an abnormal rate of 0.02‰. Ophthalmic examinations (slit-lamp examination of the lens, the vitreous body, the fundus) showed no abnormality. The abnormal rate of leukocyte count was 3.70%, and the detection rate of small lung nodules was 48.15%. Conclusion The high-radon exposure minors had a high detection rate of small lung nodules, and lack knowledge of radon. It is urgent to strengthen the publicity and education on the hazards of radon and the prevention and control of occupational diseases.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the early risk warning factors of clinical characteristics in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) complicated with acute pancreatitis (AP).Methods:Retrospective study.A total of 39 children with ALL complicated with AP admitted to the Hematology Center of Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capi-tal Medical University from May 2018 to December 2020 were selected as the case group, and 78 ALL patients were randomly selected as the control group according to the exact matching of 1∶2 of the same age and sex.The measurment data and counting data were analyzed by Rank sum test ( Mann Whitney U test) and χ2 test between the 2 groups, respectively, and further multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to find out the risk factors of ALL complicated with pancreatitis.At the same time, the relationship between each index and severity was explored. Results:The incidence of ALL complicated with AP was 8.55% (39/456 cases). The high incidence age was 3-10 years old.Sixty-four point nine percent (24/37 cases) of the pancreatitis occurred in the early stage of chemotherapy, and 66.7% (26/39 cases) was associated with asparaginase.There were significant differences in ALL risk stratification ( χ2=21.404, P<0.001), C-reactive protein (CRP)( U=232.000, P<0.001), procalcitonin (PCT)( t=3.950, P<0.001), hematocrit( t=3.981, P<0.001), serum calcium( t=-9.609, P<0.001), indirect bilirubin( U=1 142.000, P<0.05), triglyceride( t=3.600, P=0.001) and albumin( t=-6.296, P<0.001) between the 2 groups.The sensitivity of abdominal CT, abdominal ultrasound and pancreatic magnetic resonance imaging in the case group were 70.8%, 81.6% and 100.0%, respectively.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that differences between albumin( OR=11.444, 95% CI: 3.240-40.423), triglyceride( OR=18.047, 95% CI: 5.020-65.074) and risk stra-tification( OR=8.894, 95% CI: 1.889-41.885) were statistically significant, and there were obvious differences in PCT( U=3.000, 2.000, all P<0.05) and serum calcium( U=4.500, 8.500, all P<0.05) between patients with severe pancreatitis and patients with mild or moderate severe pancreatitis. Conclusions:ALL complicated with AP often occurs in the early stage of chemotherapy, mainly caused by asparaginase.In imaging examination, the sensitivity of pancreatic magnetic resonance imaging is the highest, followed by abdominal ultrasound.Risk stratification, decreased albumin and elevated triglyceride are risk factors of ALL complicated with AP, which are helpful for early identification of high-risk patients with ALL complicated with AP.PCT and serum calcium may play an important role in severe pancreatitis.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the reasons why the routine monitoring of personal dose of occupational external exposure of some radiological workers in our province reached the investigation level in 2018, so as to provide technical support for the correct decision making of administrative departments. Methods The registration forms for monitoring and verifying the personal dose of occupational external exposure were issued to radiation workers whose periodic dose reached or exceeded 1.25 mSv/ cycle. Results A total of 102 person-times were sent out in 53 verification forms, and 95 person-times were collected in 47 copies. The recovery rate was 88.68%, and 7 person-times did not feedback the verification forms. There were 15 cases of actual exposure, accounting for 15.79%, including 5 cases of radiological diagnostic staff, who did not close the protective door when operating exposure. Among them, the other 80 cases, accouting for 84.21% didn't receive actual exposure. Conclusion The vast majority of radiological workers who reached the survey level didn't receive actual exposure. 5 person-time radiological diagnostic staff, during the work did not close the protective door, subjected to abnormal radiation. Interventional medicine, nuclear medicine and industrial mobile flaw detection workers are at higher risk of abnormal exposures during their work. The suspicious results of the questionnaires without feedback were all less than the annual dose limit and the requirements of audit management. We will strengthen supervision of radiation health protection, raise the awareness of radiation protection among radiation workers, and improve radiation protection management and protection conditions for radiation workers in interventional medicine, nuclear medicine and industrial mobile flaw detection furtherly.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the levels of individual doses to radiation workers receiving medical radiation exposure in hospitals in Jiangxi province, so as to provide reference for radiation protection.Methods:The radiation workers of different types in medical institutions in Jiangxi were investigated from 2014 to 2018, involving diagnostic radiology, radiotherapy, nuclear medicine and interventional radiology. Statistical analyses were made of the individual doses to medical radiation workers in the province.Results:The total number of monitored workers were 23 833 with average annual individual effective dose of 0.316 mSv. NR1 and NR5, the ratios of the number of workers receiving annual individual doses exceeding 1 and 5 mSv to the total monitored workers were 4.32% and 0.10%, respectively. During the five-year period, the average annual individual effective dose showed a upward and then downward trend, with peak appearing in 2017. A total of 17 909 diagnostic radiologists were monitored, accounting for 75.14% of the total number of monitored workers. The average annual individual effective dose received by workers was 0.329 mSv, the highest, in interventional radiology, followed by diagnostic radiology 0.318 mSv, nuclear medicine 0.283 mSv, and radiotherapy 0.269 mSv, respectively. There were statistically significant differences among radiation workers of different types ( χ2=489.39, P<0.001). Conclusions:The average annual individual effective dose to the radiation workers in medical institutions in Jiangxi province meets the relevant national standards, but with an upward trend in nuclear medicine. The higher levels of individual doses to radiation workers are seen in primary and secondary hospitals. It should be strengthen the oversight of radiation workers in nuclear medicine and in primary and secondary hospitals.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To understand the exposure of occupational hazards, occupational and mental health status of high-speed railway locomotive drivers. METHODS: A total of 150 male high-speed railway locomotive drivers from Nanchang Railway administration were selected as experimental group, and 80 male ordinary train drivers were selected as control group by using a judgment sampling method. The occupational disease hazard testing and occupational health examinations were conducted in drivers of these two groups. The mental health status survey was conducted using the Symptom Checklist 90(SCL-90). RESULTS: The noise, power frequency electric field, formaldehyde, benzene, toluene, xylene and carbon dioxide in all the work place of these two groups were in line with the national occupational health standards. The exposure noise intensity of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group [(70.5±3.7) vs(77.4±4.1) dB(A), P<0.05]. The detection rates of hypertension and chronic gastritis were higher in the experimental group(18.7% vs 34.7%, 26.2% vs 42.0%, P<0.05). The detection rate of high frequency hearing loss decreased in the experimental group compared with the control group(22.5% vs 10.7%, P<0.05). The total score of SCL-90 in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group [(169.5±6.1) vs(148.0±6.0) score, P<0.01]. The positive rate of psychological symptoms was higher in the experimental group than that of the control group(41.3% vs 23.8%, P<0.01). CONCLUSION: The concentration/intensity of occupational disease hazards in the workplace of high-speed railway locomotives drivers is within normal limit. The occupational health status of high-speed railway locomotive drivers is generally good, but attention should be paid to their occupational mental health hazards.
