Background The quality of occupational health technical services is directly linked to the protection of workers' health rights and the efficacy of occupational disease prevention and control. However, the industry still faces critical challenges: sporadic instances of institutional non-compliance and persistent irregularities in professional practice continue to undermine overall service performance. Objective To assess the current quality status of occupational health technical services in Zhejiang Province and propose countermeasures for quality improvement, providing a scientific basis for policy optimization and service delivery quality enhancement. Methods A total of 69 occupational health technical service institutions in Zhejiang Province that obtained formal accreditation as of April 30, 2024, were sampled, including 3 public institutions and 66 private institutions (comprising 3 formerly Class-A, 28 formerly Class-B, 11 formerly Class-C, and 24 newly certified institutions). Following the Technical Protocol for Quality Monitoring of Occupational Health Technical Service in Zhejiang Province and the Technical Protocol for Proficiency Testing of Occupational Health Detection in Zhejiang Province, a quality assessment task force comprising national and provincial experts was established. Evaluation was conducted across four dimensions: qualification maintenance and compliance, standardization of technical services, authenticity of technical services, and proficiency testing, utilizing a combination of document review, on-site inspections, and technical skill assessments. Results The occupational health technical service institutions in Zhejiang Province were predominantly private entities (82.5%), with significant disparities in overall service quality. The pass rates for qualification maintenance and compliance, technical service standardization, technical service authenticity, and the excellence rate for laboratory proficiency testing were 81.5%, 80.7%, 97.3%, and 90.4%, respectively. Regarding qualification maintenance, the pass rates for "environmental conditions" (49.8%, 56.7%) and "instrumentation and equipment" (58.2%、65.6%) were significantly lower for formerly Class-C and newly certified institutions compared to other categories. In terms of technical standardization, "standardized on-site inspections" recorded the lowest pass rate (67.4%), with newly certified institutions at only 48.0%. Regarding technical service authenticity, formerly Class-C institutions exhibited issues such as missing raw chromatograms for blank samples (85.7% pass rate). In laboratory proficiency testing, public and formerly Class-A institutions achieved 100% excellence rates, but the performance of formerly Class-C and newly certified institutions was comparatively weak; specifically, the failure rate for organic analysis in formerly Class-C institutions reached 20%; the failure rate for dust testing items in newly certified institutions was 10.3%. Conclusion The overall quality of occupational health technical services in Zhejiang Province still requires significant improvement, particularly in basic institutional conditions, the standardization of on-site inspections, and laboratory proficiency in organic and dust analysis. Formerly Class-C and newly certified institutions should be the primary focus of quality management efforts. Differentiated regulatory strategies are recommended, alongside strengthening interim and ex-post supervision to gradually enhance the quality of occupational health technical services across all institutions.

ObjectiveThe widespread adoption of portable fundus cameras for primary care and community screening is hindered by limitations in current autofocus(AF) technologies. Image-based methods relying on sharpness evaluation require iterative searches, resulting in slow convergence, while projection-based techniques are susceptible to optical artifacts and calibration errors. To address these challenges, this study introduces a novel AF system based on direct wavefront sensing, designed to deliver simultaneous high speed, high precision, and operational robustness within the compact form factor essential for portable ophthalmic devices. MethodsOur approach fundamentally reimagines the AF process by directly measuring the ocular wavefront aberration. We developed a custom portable fundus camera integrating a miniaturized Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor (SHWS) into the optical path. An 850 nm laser diode projects a point source onto the retina via oblique illumination to minimize corneal reflections. Light scattered from this spot carries the eye’s refractive error through the imaging optics and is directed to the SHWS, positioned at a plane optically conjugate to the primary color CMOS imaging sensor. A microlens array within the SHWS samples the incident wavefront, generating a pattern of focal spots on a CCD. Real-time centroid analysis of these spots provides a map of local wavefront slopes. These measurements are processed through a singular value decomposition (SVD) algorithm to fit a Zernike polynomial basis set, enabling real-time reconstruction of the wavefront phase. The defocus component (S) is extracted from the second-order Zernike coefficients, providing a direct, quantitative measure of the refractive error in diopters. This value serves as a precise error signal in a closed-loop control system, which commands a voice-coil actuated focusing lens to its null position in a single, deterministic step, eliminating the need for iterative search algorithms. ResultsComprehensive evaluation demonstrated the system’s high performance. Testing on a calibrated model eye (OEMI-7) established a highly linear relationship between the computed defocus S and the focusing lens position across a ±20 Diopter (D) compensation range, achievable within a 5 mm mechanical travel. The system achieved a focusing precision of 0.08 D, corresponding to an 18-fold improvement over a conventional projection spot-size method tested under identical conditions. The total focus acquisition time, encompassing wavefront measurement, computation, and lens actuation, averaged under 0.5 s. Clinical validation with 25 human volunteers (50 eyes, refractive range -15 D to +10 D) confirmed practical efficacy. The wavefront-sensing AF succeeded in 92% of attempts with a mean time of 0.5 s, substantially outperforming a projection-based benchmark which achieved only a 32% success rate with an average time of 4.25 s. The system provided instantaneous directional guidance and maintained stability during minor ocular movements. Objective assessment of image quality, via amplitude contrast of retinal vasculature, showed consistent and significant enhancement following AF correction across the entire tested diopter range. ConclusionThis work successfully implements and validates a direct wavefront-sensing autofocus paradigm for portable fundus cameras. By directly quantifying and compensating for the optical defocus aberration, this method bypasses the fundamental limitations of image-processing and projection-based techniques, enabling rapid, precise, and deterministic diopter compensation. The developed system delivers an exceptional combination of a wide operational range (±20 D), high accuracy (0.08 D), fast convergence (0.5 s), and a compact physical footprint. This technology provides a practical and high-performance focusing solution capable of enhancing the reliability, throughput, and diagnostic utility of portable retinal imaging in large-scale screening applications. Future efforts will be directed towards system cost optimization and performance adaptation for diverse ocular conditions.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and advantages of applying visualized thermosensitive color-changing bolus in postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) for breast cancer.Methods:Forty patients with breast cancer treated with PMRT in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from June 2023 to June 2024 were prospectively selected. They were randomly divided into test and control groups (also referred to as groups A and B, respectively), with 20 patients in each group. Group A, underwent two CT scans: the first scan without bolus (image A1) and the second scan with visualized thermosensitive color-changing bolus (image A2). They were treated with visualized thermosensitive color-changing bolus. Group B also underwent two CT scans: the first scan without bolus (image B1) and the second scan with conventional commercial bolus (image B2), and then were treated with conventional commercial bolus. In the radiotherapy planning, images A1 and A2 were designed as A1-Plan and A2-Plan, and A3-Plan was created by transferring the A1-Plan onto image A2. Images B1 and B2 were designed as B1-Plan and B2-Plan, and B3-Plan was created by transferring the B1-Plan onto image B2. The radiation fields and target optimization functions were identical. The dosimetric differences and skin toxicity reactions between different plans were compared.Results:In Group A, A1-Plan and A2-Plan manifested no statistically significant differences ( P > 0.05) in the doses to organs at risk (OARs), including the ipsilateral lung ( V5 Gy, V10 Gy, V20 Gy), heart ( Dmean), contralateral breast ( Dmean), and skin ( Dmax and Dmean), target homogeneity index (HI), conformity index (CI), prescription dose volume ( V50 Gy), depth of maximum dose ( Dmax), and monitor unit (MU). In Group B, B3-Plan compared to B1-Plan showed reduced V50 Gy (89.9% vs. 95%), HI (0.153 vs. 0.136), and CI (0.817 vs. 0.810), while the two plans displayed no statistically significant differences in doses to OARs. In contrast, A3-Plan and B3-Plan exhibited statistically significant differences ( t = 2.78, 2.29, -0.47, 0.51, 3.13, P < 0.05) in V50 Gy (94.05% vs. 89.90%), Dmax (5 665.4 cGy vs. 5 632.7 cGy), HI (0.148 vs. 0.163), CI (0.83 vs. 0.82), and skin Dmean (5 153.6 cGy vs. 5 048.2 cGy). Compared to the conventional commercial bolus of the same thickness, the visualized thermosensitive color-changing bolus yielded a significantly reduced air cavity volume (3 833 mm 3vs. 21 498 mm 3,t = -9.65, P < 0.05). Both groups experienced only grade I skin toxicity reactions. Conclusions:Compared to the conventional commercial bolus of the same thickness, the visualized thermosensitive color-changing bolus shows a more effective dosimetric distribution in terms of target coverage, HI, and CI, a higher fit to the skin, highly visualized air cavity, and higher positional repeatability in fractionated radiotherapy, demonstrating high practicality and safety.

Health think tanks serve as a crucial intellectual support for the Healthy China strategy. The authors systematically analyzed the definitions, classifications, and operational status of health think tanks, categorizing them into five types: government-affiliated think tanks, university and research institute think tanks, social think tanks, hospital think tanks, and corporate think tanks. It was indicated that current health think tanks had significant room for improvement in both quantity and influence, particularly concerning deeper integration with policy decision-making and interdisciplinary collaboration. Although these think tanks played a unique role in supporting government decision-making, issues such as lagging institutional development, insufficient collaborative effectiveness, and difficulties in translating research findings into practice remained prominent. To enhance the ability of think tanks to serve the Healthy China strategy, this study proposed strategies including strengthening top-level design, improving participation mechanisms, optimizing management and evaluation systems, establishing data-sharing platforms, and deepening collaborative governance, with the aim of fostering the healthy development of China′s health think tanks.

Objective:To investigate and summarize the imaging and pathological features of non-acute occlusion following flow diverter (FD) implantation in animal models.Methods:Four experimental pigs (experimental group) that experienced non-acute occlusion (occlusion time exceeding 24 hours) within the FD stent implanted in the common carotid artery, and 19 pigs (control group) that did not experience stent occlusion during the same period were involved. Using an interventional approach under digital subtraction angiography (DSA), the 4 occluded FD lumens were mechanically opened. Optical coherence tomography (OCT), intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and histopathological examinations were performed to evaluate the intraluminal composition and characteristics of the occlusive tissues. These findings were compared with non-occluded FD stents to summarize the imaging and pathological changes within the occluded FD lumen.Results:The occlusion times of the FD stents in the 4 experimental pigs were 16 weeks, 20 weeks, 20 weeks, and 24 weeks postoperatively. All occluded stents were successfully recanalized under DSA, with a technical success rate of 4/4. Among the 19 non-occluded FD stents, OCT and IVUS revealed uniform (16 stents) or non-uniform (3 stents) neointimal coverage of the stent struts, presenting as homogeneous high/slightly high signal intensity or medium echogenicity. Histopathological examination indicated that the neointima was primarily composed of smooth muscle cells and a small amount of fibrous connective tissues. In contrast, the 4 occluded FD stents demonstrated excessive neointimal proliferation and plaque formation, leading to luminal loss, as shown by OCT and IVUS. The occlusion tissues predominantly presented as homogeneous high signal intensity with weak attenuation (fibrous plaques) on OCT, with some regions showing blurred low signal intensity and strong attenuation (lipid plaques). IVUS presented homogeneous echogenicity (fibrous plaques) and hypoechogenic zones (lipid plaques). Histopathological examination showed that the occlusion tissues mainly consisted of smooth muscle cells, fibrous connective tissues, and lipids, accompanied by numerous foam cells and a minor presence of inflammatory cells.Conclusions:Histopathological examinations confirm that non-acute occlusion of FD is mainly caused by excessive hyperplasia of intima along with the formation of fibrous plaques and lipid plaques. OCT and IVUS have typical finding in imaging that can assist in determining the cause of stent occlusion as well as the lesion's nature, thereby providing crucial guidance for subsequent clinical treatment and drug selection.

Objective:To analyze the echocardiographic and genetic characteristics of fetuses with common arterial trunk（CAT）.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 77 480 fetal echocardiograms examined at the Maternal-Fetal Medicine center in Fetal Heart Disease of Beijing Anzhen Hospital from November 2010 to November 2024.Among them，106 fetuses were initially diagnosed with CAT，and 95 cases were ultimately confirmed（0.1%，95/77 480）. The echocardiographic and genetic features of CAT fetuses were analyzed. According to the modified Van Praagh classification，CAT was divided into types A1-A4［with ventricular septal defect（VSD）］and B1-B4（without VSD）based on the origin of the pulmonary artery branches and the presence or absence of a VSD. Additionally，CAT was categorized into isolated and complex types based on the presence of associated intracardiac or extracardiac anomalies.Results:① Among the 95 confirmed CAT fetuses，type A accounted for 90.5%（86/95），and type B accounted for 9.5%（9/95）. All 9 type B CAT fetuses exhibited no overriding of the arterial trunk ， with 8 cases showing left ventricular hypoplasia accompanied by mitral atresia or absence.② Of the 95 CAT fetuses，14 were isolated（14.7%，14/95） ， and 81 were complex（85.3%，81/95）.The main associated intracardiac anomalies included：single ventricle（22 cases），complete atrioventricular septal defect（12 cases），anomalous pulmonary venous drainage（10 cases），right aortic arch with mirror-image branching（16 cases），and persistent left superior vena cava（14 cases）. ③ Genetic testing was performed in 31 fetuses，with 18 showing positive results，primarily 22q11.21 deletion syndrome（29.0%，9/31）. Conclusions:Apart from VSD，the most common intracardiac anomaly associated with CAT fetuses is single ventricle. Type B CAT without trunk overriding is often associated with left ventricular hypoplasia and mitral atresia or absence. The most frequent genetic abnormality in CAT fetuses is 22q11.21 deletion syndrome. Prenatal echocardiography should clarify the CAT subtype and associated anomalies，and genetic testing is strongly recommended for perinatal counseling and prognostic evaluation.

Objective To explore the distribution of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome types of post-infection cough and their relationship with the level of airway immune characteristics and small airway function.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 216 patients with post infection cough admitted to our hospital from January 2023 to June 2024.Syndrome information was collected and cluster analysis was performed to analyze the correlation between TCM syndrome types and airway immune characteristic indicators.According to the degree of small airway dysfunction,the patients were divided into mild group(n=74),moderate group(n=84)and severe group(n=53).The correlation between airway immune characteristic indicators and small airway function indicators was analyzed,and the relationship between small airway dysfunction degree and TCM syndrome was also correspondingly analyzed.Results In terms of TCM,cough after infection could be divided into five types:wind-heat stagnation of the lung syndrome,wind-cold invasion of the lung syndrome,phlegm-dampness accumulation in lung syndrome,liver fire invading the lung syndrome,and qi-yin deficiency syndrome.Patients with qi-yin deficiency syndrome had specific airway immune characteristics,with an increase in the proportion of neutrophils,eosinophils and lymphocytes,a decrease in the proportion of macrophages(P＜0.05),an increase in the levels of inflammatory factors IL-17 and TNF-α,and a decrease in the levels of IL-10 and TGF-β.The wind-cold attacking lung syndrome and qi-yin deficiency syndrome were positively correlated with the proportion of neutrophils,eosinophils and lymphocytes,while negatively correlated with the proportion of macrophages(P＜0.05).Qi-yin deficiency syndrome was positively correlated with IL-17 and TNF-α levels,while negatively correlated with IL-10 and TGF-β levels(P＜0.05).As the degree of small airway dysfunction worsened,the proportion of neutrophils,eosinophils and lymphocytes increased(P＜0.05),the proportion of macrophages decreased(P＜0.05),the levels of inflammatory factors IL-17 and TNF-αincreased,and the levels of IL-10 and TGF-β decreased(P＜0.05).The indicators of small airway function(FVC％pred,FEV1％pred,FEV1/FVC,PEF％pred,FEF25％pred,FEF50％pred,FEF75％pred,FEF25-75％pred)were negatively correlated with the proportion of neutrophils,eosinophils and lymphocytes,the levels of inflammatory factors IL-17 and TNF-α(P＜0.05),while positively correlated with the proportion of macrophages,the levels of IL-10 and TGF-β(P＜0.05).Conclusion This study not only reveals the correlation of different TCM syndromes of cough after infection with airway immune characteristics and small airway function,but also clarifies the immunological characteristics of qi-yin deficiency syndrome as a key syndrome type,and confirms that the immune imbalance pattern of high neutrophil proportion and low macrophage level in this syndrome type is specifically associated with severe small airway dysfunction.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of transcranial combined peripheral magnetic stimu-lation on bladder and voiding ability in patients with NB after spinal cord injury.Methods From September 2023 to October 2024,60 patients with NB after spinal cord injury were chosen from the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical University,and were separated into the regular group(n=15),M1 area stimulation group(n=15),sacral nerve root stimulation group(n=15),and combined stimulation group(n=15).The control group underwent conventional rehabilitation treatment,the M1 area stimu-lation group added repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS)of the M1 area of the motor cortex,the sacral nerve root stimulation group added repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation(rPMS)of the sacral 3 nerve roots,and the co-stimulation group added rTMS of the M1 area and rPMS of the sacral 3 nerve roots,and the treat-ment was carried out for 4 weeks in total.Urodynamic indices,voiding diaries,and neurogenic bladder symptom scores(NBSS)were assessed before and after therapy in the four groups.Results Before therapy,the differences in maximum bladder capacity,bladder capacity at the time of the first urge to urinate,maximum urine flow rate,residual urine volume,average number of urination per day,average daily urinary output,and NBSS scores of the four groups were not statistically significant when compared with those of the pre-treatment group(P<0.05);after treatment,the maximum bladder capacity,bladder capacity at the time of the first urge to urinate,maximum urine flow rate,residual urine volume,average number of urination per day,average daily urinary output,and NBSS scores were all improved compared with those before treatment(P<0.05);in comparison between the groups,after treatment,the Urodynamic indices,voiding diaries,and NBSS scores of the combined group were better than those of the other three groups(P<0.05).Conclusion Transcranial combined peripheral bidirectional feedback magnetic stimulation therapy can improve urodynamic and voiding symptoms and promote the recovery of bladder and voiding function in patients with NB after spinal cord injury

Objective To understand the changing composition and antibiotic resistance of bacterial species in the clinical isolates from outpatient and emergency department(hereinafter referred to as outpatients)and inpatient children over time in various hospitals,and to provide laboratory evidence for rational antibiotic use.Methods The data on clinically isolated pathogenic bacteria and antimicrobial susceptibility of isolates from outpatients and inpatient children in the CHINET program from 2015 to 2021 were collected and analyzed.Results A total of 278 471 isolates were isolated from pediatric patients in the CHINET program from 2015 to 2021.About 17.1％of the strains were isolated from outpatients,primarily group A β-hemolytic Streptococcus,Escherichia coli,and Staphylococcus aureus.Most of the strains(82.9％)were isolated from inpatients,mainly SS.aureus,E.coli,and H.influenzae.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant S.aureus(MRSA)in outpatients(24.5％)was lower than that in inpatient children(31.5％).The MRSA isolates from outpatients showed lower resistance rates to the antibiotics tested than the strains isolated from inpatient children.The prevalence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis or E.faecium and penicillin-resistant S.pneumoniae was low in either outpatients or inpatient children.S.pneumoniae,β-hemolytic Streptococcus and S.viridans showed high resistance rates to erythromycin.The prevalence of erythromycin-resistant group A β-hemolytic Streptococcus was higher in outpatients than that in inpatient children.The prevalence of β-lactamase-producing H.influenzae showed an overall upward trend in children,but lower in outpatients(45.1％)than in inpatient children(59.4％).The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKpn),carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa(CRPae)and carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii(CRAba)was 14％,11.7％,47.8％in outpatients,but 24.2％,20.6％,and 52.8％in inpatient children,respectively.The prevalence of multidrug-resistant E.coli,K.pneumoniae,Proteus mirabilis,P.aeruginosa and A.baumannii strains was lower in outpatients than in inpatient children.The prevalence of fluoroquinolone-resistant E.coli,ESBLs-producing K.pneumoniae,ESBLs-producing P.mirabilis,carbapenem-resistant E.coli(CREco),CRKpn,and CRPae was lower in children in outpatients than in inpatient children,but the prevalence of CRAba in 2021 was higher than in inpatient children.Conclusions The distribution of clinical isolates from children is different between outpatients and inpatients.The prevalence of MRSA,ESBL,and CRO was higher in inpatient children than in outpatients.Antibiotics should be used rationally in clinical practice based on etiological diagnosis and antimicrobial susceptibility test results.Ongoing antimicrobial resistance surveillance and prevention and control of hospital infections are crucial to curbing bacterial resistance.
