Since the nationwide implementation of monitoring from the 1980s, individual dose monitoring for radiation workers in China has been going on nearly 30 years, which is of significance in radiation protection optimization, and occupational health and protection for radiation workers. In order to improve individual dose monitoring and registry, to prevent and control occupational radiation diseases, and to help build "Healthy China" program, this paper presents the evolution of individual dose monitoring and registry in China, discusses the key points and difficulties faced, and proposes suggestions.
3.Mitochondrial combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency type 1 in childrena case report and literature review
China Tropical Medicine 2023;23(2):200-
Objective To summarize the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of mitochondrial combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency type 1 (COXPD1), and to improve the clinicians' awareness of this mitochondrial encephalomyopathy. Methods The clinical characteristics, physical examination, laboratory examination and other data of a child with COXPD1 were analyzed retrospectively. The diagnosis was confirmed by clinical whole exon sequencing and high-precision mitochondrial genome full-length PLUS gene detection, and the phenotype and genotype were analyzed by reviewing relevant literature. Results A one-year and five-month-old boy mainly presented with hyperlactacidemia and abnormal liver function. Clinical whole exon sequencing showed that the child had homozygous variation of c. 688G>A(p.G230S) in the GFM1 gene. Sanger sequencing verified that the variation was respectively inherited from the parents of the child (both were heterozygous) with the autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. The high-precision mitochondrial genome full-length PLUS detection also did not find pathogenic mutations related to clinical phenotypes. The child was diagnosed with COXPD1. After "cocktail" therapy and liver protection therapy, the patient's condition improved. Conclusions The phenotype of COXPD1 is complicated and variable, mainly liver type and brain type. The mutation of GFM1 gene affects mitochondrial translation system function, and early gene detection is helpful for definite diagnosis.
