Chinese Journal of Blood Transfusion 2021;34(11):1266-1268
【Objective】 To explore the causes of occupational exposure, so as to prevent occupational exposure that endangering the physical and mental health of staff in blood centers. 【Methods】 Occupational exposure cases reported from May 1, 2014 to April 30, 2020 by Taizhou Blood Center were classified and analyzed in terms of the exposure mode, body parts, post distribution, seniority of operators and whether the operation was carried out as required. 【Results】 From May 1, 2014 to December 31, 2020, 23 cases of occupational exposure (6.66/100000) occurred in Taizhou Blood Center, and the incidence rate was roughly the same in each year. Among the occupational exposure modes, sharp device puncture, wound exposure and mucosal exposure accounted for 65.2% (15/23), 17.4% (4/23) and 17.4% (4/23), respectively. The exposed sites of body were mainly fingers, followed by eyes and mouth. The incidence of occupational exposure of phlebotomist post accounted for 65.2% (15/23), followed by apheresis platelet collection, component preparation and preliminary screening post [21.7% (5/23), 8.7% (2/23) and 4.3% (1/23), respectively, P<0.05]. The incidence of occupational exposure of new staff rotated within one year was 43.5% (10/23), followed by fixed-point staff within 1-5 years and over 5 years [34.8% (8/23) and 21.7% (5/23), respectively], P<0.05. 56.5% (13/23) of occupational exposure was due to employees′ failure to obey the operate as required. 【Conclusion】 Where there is needle contact there is exposure risk. the newer staff are more likely to suffer occupational exposure, and most exposure are caused by non-compliance with the regulations. The establishment of various preventive measures can effectively reduce the incidence of occupational exposure in blood banks and ensure occupational safety.

Taking nephrotic syndrome as an example, this paper analyzed the autonomy of patients with chronic diseases in medical decision-making, and recognized that patients have autonomy in five dimensions: information, expression, function, decision-making and implementation. Respecting patient autonomy can enable patients to make decisions in their best interests, which is the basis for relevant medical decision-making. However, respecting patient autonomy in medical decision-making of chronic diseases also faces some problems such as limited autonomy of some patients with chronic diseases, poor communication of medical information or lack of resources weakens the autonomy of medical decision-making of patients with chronic diseases, and the difference in health literacy and health management ability affects the play of patient autonomy. Taking the patients with nephrotic syndrome as an example, this paper proposed to recognize the limitations of the autonomy of patients with chronic diseases and flexibly use different ways to respect the autonomy of patients; improve the communication ability and joint decision-making experience of clinical medical staff to fully respect patients’ autonomy; enhance patients’ health literacy and health management ability to realize clinical practice strategy of respect for patients’ autonomy.

Journal of Pharmaceutical Practice 2021;39(2):143-147
Objective To find the effect of leonurine on LPS-induced macrophages activation and its potential mechanism. Methods Mouse primary peritoneal macrophages were isolated and pretreated for 24 h with LPS and leonurine. MTT assay was used to detect the cell viability of macrophages. The production of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and IL-18 in culture medium were tested by ELISA, and the production of NO was detected by Griess reagent. The mRNA expression of NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1, TNF-α, iNOS, Arg-1 and CD206 were detected by RT-PCR, and the protein expression of NLRP3, ASC and caspase-1 were detected by Western blotting. Results LPS can significantly increase the releases of NO、IL-1β、IL-6、TNF-α and IL-18 from macrophages. Leonurine can suppress the expression of pro-inflammatory factor levels, such as IL-1β (P<0.05), IL-18 (P<0.05), NO(P<0.05), IL-6(P<0.05) and TNF-α (P<0.05). Leonurine can decrease the activation of macrophage as well as the expression of NLRP3 Inflammasome.Protein expressions of NLRP3、ASC、caspase-1 were mitigated. Conclution Leonurine exerts beneficial effects through M1/M2 phenotypic differentiation of peritoneal macrophage via inhibiting overactivation of NLRP3 inflammasome. These findings suggest that leonurine might have a therapeutic potential for pelvic inflammatory disease.

International Eye Science 2020;20(2):374-377
AIM: To observe the effect of sub-bowman keratomileusis(SBK)on the posterior corneal curvature, posterior corneal elevation and anterior chamber parameters.
METHODS: Prospective self controlled study. Totally 49 patients(97 eyes)with myopia who had planned for SBK were included in this study, mean posterior corneal curvature, central posterior corneal elevation(PCE), anterior chamber volume(ACV), central and peripheral anterior chamber depth(ACD)were measured by Oculyzer before and 1wk, 1y, 3y after surgery. Repeated measure analysis of variance was adopted for data analysis.
RESULTS: There were no significant differences in mean posterior corneal curvature at any time point postoperatively compared with that preoperatively(P>0.05). However, central PCE, ACV and central ACD at 1wk, 1y and 3y postoperatively were all decreased(P<0.01). Except for the anterior peripheral ACD at 3y after SBK, other peripheral ACD at any time point postoperatively were all decreased(P<0.05).
CONCLUSION: The posterior corneal curvature remained stable after SBK, while the central PCE shifted slightly backward and the entire anterior chamber became shallow.

Studies have demonstrated the detrimental effects of overt hyperthyroidism on sexual functioning.Here,we comprehensively reviewed the studies that focused on the association between overt hyperthyroidism and erectile dysfunction (ED).After the systematic searching for relevant studies,we find that overt hyperthyroidism is significantly associated with the high risk of ED.The prevalence of ED in patients with hyperthyroidism ranges from 3.05% to 85%,while that in general population is 2.16% to 33.8%.A study reported that the erectile functioning of the hyperthyroidism patients was improved (International Index of Erectile Function:22.1±6.9 vs. 25.2±5.1) after the achievement of euthyroidism.The underlying mechanism of the increase in the risk of ED by overt hyperthyroidism might be correlated to the dysfunction of hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid axis,dysregulation of sex hormones,abnormal expression of thyroid hormone receptors,and psychiatric or psychological disturbances (e.g.,depression,anxiety,and irritability).Since limited clinical trials have been conducted,additional well-designed cohorts with sizable samples are warranted to elucidate the evidence and mechanism of hyperthyroidism predisposing to ED.The present review indicates that overt hyperthyroidism and the risk of ED are associated,which reminds the clinicians should assess the thyroid stimulating hormone in hyperthyroidism patients presenting with ED,especially in those without positive conventional laboratory findings for causing ED.
