Respiratory protective equipment (RPE) is an effective measure to protect the health of workers. The domestic and foreign facial classfication of fit testing of RPE is mainly categorized into Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) classification, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) classification, principal component analysis (PCA) classification, Chinese Han adult facial classification, and Chinese young male facial classification. The LANL classification has low applicability. The NIOSH classification included different ethnicity and region of the study subjects, which is more representative for the American population. The PCA facial classification is complex to use and has low matching with RPE sizes. The Chinese Han adult facial classification and Chinese young male facial classification included more facial data of Chinese Han population and young population. There are qualitative and quantitative fit testing. Qualitative methods include the isoamyl acetate method, saccharin solution aerosol method, aerosol bitter testing solution method, and irritant smoke method which are cost-effective and easy to use, but are highly subjective to the study subjects. Quantitative methods include the aerosol generated method, environmental aerosol condensation nucleus counting method, and the controlled negative pressure method, which accurately quantify the facial fit of RPE but require specific testing equipment and high costs. It is necessary to include occupational populations from multiple industries, combine facial fit testing and fit testing methods of RPE, and establish a follow-up database based on digital information platforms, to achieve dynamic monitoring of respiratory protection levels among different occupational populations in the future.

Objective To establish a SYBR Green real-time PCR detection method with tissue-specific miRNAs and explore a novel approach for forensic body fluid identification. Methods The frequently reported 6 standard miRNAs were synthesized to establish a SYBR Green method, and verify with body fluid. The relative expression data for the 6 miRNAs were obtained using SYBR Green real-time PCR method in peripheral blood, menstrual blood, saliva and semen. Results The assays showed that miRNA205 permitted the unequivocal identification among different fluids. miRNA451 and miRNA144 could be used to distinguish blood from non-blood. Menstrual blood or peripheral blood could be identified through miRNA214. miRNA888 and miRNA891 was highly expressed in semen. Conclusion The results of this study indicate that miRNA SYBR Green profiling may provide a feasible and effective approach to body fluid identification for forensic casework.

Objective To evaluate the value of precise hepatectomy in treatment of early-stage primary liver cancer after radical resection. Methods Between June 2012 and July 2014,174 patients undergoing radical resection of hepatocellular carcinoma were enrolled in this comparative study at Nan fang Hospital. 118 patients with liver resection under precise hepatectomy were assigned to precise resection group and 56 patients with liver resection under Pringle maneuver were assigned to occlusion group. The two groups were compared in terms of preoprational clinical pathological and laboratory data ,volume of intraoperative bleeding and blood transfusion , postoperative hepatic function recovery,hospitalization days,and postoperative tumor-free survival rate of 1,2 years. Results There was no significant difference between the two groups in the sex,age,liver disease,preo-pration albumin,ALT,AST,alcohol intake and liver cirrhosis(P>0.05). No differences between the two groups were found about the volume of intraoperative bleeding and blood transfusion as well as surgery cost (P > 0.05). The recovery of hepatic function was accelerated and the incidence of complications ,hospitalization days and peri-od of drainage were significantly reduced in the precise resection group compared with the occlusion group (P <0.05). The 1,2-years postoperative tumor-free survival rate was 79.7%(94/118),60.9%(46/118)in the precise group and 50.0%(28/56),46.4%(26/56) in the occlusion group ,with significant difference between them (χ2=4.741,8.722,P<0.05). Conclusions For early-stage liver cancer patients,the precise hepatectomy during radical resection results in quick recovery and fewer complications ,thus it should be the first choice of clinical operation.

Objective To validate the efficiency of 27-plex single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) multiplex system for ancestry inference. Methods The 27-plex SNP system was validated for its sensitivity and species specificity. A total of 533 samples were collected from African, Southern Chinese Han, China's ethic minorities (Yi, Hui, Miao, Tibet, and Uygur), European, Central Asian, Western Asian, Southern Asian, Southeast Asian and South American populations for clustering analysis of the genotypes by citing 3 representative continental ancestral groups [East Asia (CHB), Europe (CEU), and Africa (YRI)] from HapMap database. Results The system sensitivity is 0.125 ng. Twenty and six genotypes were detected in chimpanzee and monkeys, respectively. Except in rs10496971, no more products were found in other animals. The system was capable of differentiating intercontinental populations but not of distinguishing between East Asian and Southeast Asian population or between Southern Chinese Han population and Chinese Ethnic populations (Hui, Miao, Yi and Tibet). This system achieved a 100%accuracy for intercontinental population source inference for 46 blind test samples. Conclusion 27-plex SNPs multiplex system has a high sensitivity and species specificity and can correctly differentiate the ancestry origins of individuals from African, European and East Asian for criminal case investigation. But this system is not capable of distinguishing subpopulation groups and more specific ancestry-informative markers are needed to improve its recognition of Southeast Asian and Chinese ethnic populations.

ObjectiveTo explore the protective effect of hearing protectors worn by noise-exposed workers and its influencing factors. Methods A total of 329 occupational noise-exposed workers were selected as the research subjects by judgment sampling method. A questionnaire survey on the use of ear protectors and individual suitability tests was conducted. Intervention was carried out for those whose personal attenuation rating (PAR) did not pass the baseline standard. Results The median (M) and the 25th and 75th percentiles of baseline PAR were 17.0 (5.0, 22.5) dB. The baseline PAR of the workers who were male, aged 25-<35 years, with a working experience of 5-<15 years, with a college degree or above, wearing ear protectors for 5-<15 years, knowing the right way to wear ear protectors, and workers who wore ear protectors correctly during work was relatively high (all P<0.01). The unqualified rate of baseline PAR of the study subjects was 32.8%. The unqualified rate of baseline PAR of workers in automobile manufacturing enterprises was lower than that of workers in plastic enterprises and textile enterprises (9.2% vs 43.6%, and 9.2% vs 50.0%, both P<0.01). The M of the 108 unqualified worker on baseline PAR was improved after intervention (22.0 vs 1.0 dB, P<0.01). The rates of knowing the right way to wear ear protectors, wearing ear protectors correctly during work, and receiving training on wearing ear protectors correctly for the research subjects were 88.1%, 84.8%, and 86.6%, respectively. Workers in automobile manufacturing enterprises and plastic enterprises had higher rates of knowing the right way to wear ear protectors, wearing ear protectors correctly during work, and receiving training on wearing ear protectors correctly than those in textile enterprises (all P<0.01). Conclusion Gender, age, working experience, education level, duration of wearing ear protectors, knowledge and use of ear protectors correctly are influencing factors of the protective effect of ear protectors for noise-exposed workers.
