Objective To establish a mice model of cisplatin-induced ototoxicity and to investigate the effect of cisplatin on the expression of caspase-3 in mouse cochlea.Methods Totally 69 Kunming mice were randomly divided into control group,cisplatin 2.5mg/(kg?d) group,cisplatin 3.5mg/(kg?d) group and cisplatin 4.5mg/(kg?d)group.Mice were injected intraperitoneally for 5 days.Auditory brainstem response(ABR) was measured to observe the change of hearing.Envision method of immunohistochemistry was applied to detect the expression of caspase-3 in cochlea.Results The weight and hearing of mice in different dose cisplatin groups were declined significantly as compared with those in control group(P

Objective To investigate the effect of occupational lead exposure on blood pressure and provide supportive evidence of health protection on lead-exposed workers.Methods 612 workers (452 lead-exposed workers,160 workers as control) were recruited in the battery factory.The blood lead concentration and blood pressure were detected by occupational health examination and biological monitoring.The relationship of blood lead concentration and blood pressure wasanalyzed.Results The blood lead concentration in the exposed group(249.84±137.74) μg/L was higher than that of the control group (117.25±70.15) μg/L,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.01).The difference of abnormal blood pressure and diastolic pressure among the exposed and the control group was statistically significant (P<0.05).The abnormal blood pressure rate,systolic pressure rate and diastolic pressure rate in the 400~726 μg/L group was higher than that of the 6~199 μg/L and 200~399 μg/L group,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01).Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the influencing factors of the systolic pressure followed by sex,age,length of service and blood lead concentration,diastolic pressure followed by sex,age,smoke and blood lead concentration.Conclusion These findings suggest that long-term occupational lead exposure may result in the increase of blood lead concentration.

Objective:To provide scientific basis for the prevention and control of pneumoconiosis and the formulation of relevant policies, this paper discusses the loss of health life and economic loss caused by coal worker's pneumoconiosis in a mining group.Methods:From March to October 2017, 1262 cases of coal worker's pneumoconiosis were diagnosed in a mining group from 1972 to 2013. The direct and indirect economic losses are calculated by the step-by-step model method. Direct economic losses include medical expenses, one-time disability allowance, disability allowance, funeral allowance, one-time work death allowance, living and nursing expenses, food allowance, pension for supporting relatives and transportation expenses, etc. Indirect economic losses includes loss of social productivity, additional training fee for new employees, transportation fee for accompanying family members, loss of social productivity of accompanying family members, loss of production suspension and production reduction, etc. Life table method was used to calculate the loss of social productivity caused by coal worker's pneumoconiosis.Results:All 1262 coal worker's pneumoconiosis patients were male. In the stage of pneumoconiosis, 95.40% (1204/1262) of the first stage of pneumoconiosis and 42.62% (538/1262) of the seventh stage of disability. The age of diagnosis (22.02-71.33) was 47.38 years on average. 1262 coal worker's pneumoconiosis patients caused a total of 9068.54 years of health life loss, of which YLD accounted for 93.56% (8484.69/9068.54) . The loss of YLD (0.06-33.30) years in 1262 coal worker's pneumoconiosis patients was 6.70 years per capita. The total economic loss of 1262 coal workers with pneumoconiosis was 2842185447.70 yuan, with a per capita of 2252127.93 yuan. The direct economic loss accounted for 81.59% (2318990168.46/2842185447.70) , which was 4.42 times of the indirect economic loss. Among the direct economic loss per capita, medical expenses accounted for a large proportion of 50.04% (919510.84/1837551.64) . The per capita indirect economic loss is 414576.29 yuan. The loss of social productivity accounted for 56.18% (232908.95/414576.29) .Conclusion:Coal worker's pneumoconiosis causes heavy economic burden and serious loss of social productivity.
