In coal mines, main occupational hazard is coal-mine dust, which can cause health problem including coal workers' pneumoconiosis and lung cancer. Some heat shock proteins (Hsps) have been reported as an acute response to a wide variety of stressful stimuli. Whether Hsps protect against chronic environmental coal-mine dust over years is unknown. It is also interesting to know that whether the expression of Hsp27 and Hsp70 proteins as a marker for exposure is associated risk of lung cancer among coal miners. We investigated the association between levels of Hsp27 and Hsp70 expression in lymphocytes and plasma and levels of coal-mine dust exposure in workplace or risk of lung cancer in 42 cancer-free non-coal miners, 99 cancer-free coal miners and 51 coal miners with lung cancer in Taiyuan city in China. The results showed that plasma Hsp27 levels were increased in coal miners compared to non-coal miners (P<0.01). Except high cumulative coal-mine dust exposure (OR=13.62, 95%CI=6.05-30.69) and amount of smoking higher than 24 pack-year (OR=2.72, 95% CI=1.37-5.42), the elevated levels of plasma Hsp70 (OR=13.00, 95% CI=5.14-32.91) and plasma Hsp27 (OR=2.97, 95% CI=1.40-6.32) and decreased expression of Hsp70 in lymphocytes (OR=2.36, 95% CI=1.05-5.31) were associated with increased risk of lung cancer. These findings suggest that plasma Hsp27 may be a potential marker for coal-mine dust exposure. And the expression of Hsp27 and Hsp70 levels in plasma and lymphocytes may be used as biomarkers for lung cancer induced by occupational coal-mine dust exposure.

Objective:To evaluate the value of ultrasonography in evaluating the influential factors of early insufficient flow after central venous catheter placement in dialysis patients.Methods:Three hundred and twenty seven hemodialysis patients who underwent central venous catheterization at the Affiliated Hospital of Chengde Medical College from May 2016 to June 2019 were selected. According to the catheter flow, the patients were divided into the low catheter flow group(43 cases) and the normal catheter flow group(284 cases). The distribution variance of clinical features(age, gender, blood pressure) were compared and whether some ultrasonic parameters(position of catheter tip, left ventricular ejection fraction, left atrial end-systolic diameter, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, distance from the catheter tip to superior vena cava beyond right atrial opening) had influence on the insufficient catheter flow in the early stage between the two groups were analyzed.Results:The differences of left ventricular ejection fraction, left atrial end-systolic diameter and position of catheter tip between the two groups were statistically different( P<0.05). However, univariate and multivariate analyses showed that there were significant differences in catheter tip approaches and touches the wall of right atrium( OR=5.393, 95% CI=2.039-14.263, P=0.001), increased left atrial end-systolic diameter( OR=0.321, 95% CI=0.124-0.827, P=0.019), left ventricular ejection fraction in critical range( OR=2.953, 95% CI=1.113-7.835, P=0.030) and decreased left ventricular ejection fraction( OR=5.828, 95% CI=1.869-18.174, P=0.002) were the independent risk factors of early insufficient catheter flow. Conclusions:Insufficient catheter flow after central venous catheterization is related to catheter position, left atrial end-systolic diameter and left ventricular ejection fraction. Ultrasonography evaluation is a primary method to observe the position of the catheter tip in dialysis patients and diagnose the early insufficient catheter flow after central venous catheterization.
