Abstract:
Occupational epidemiology aims to explore the effect of occupational hazards on the health of workers and understand
,
their mechanisms. It plays an important role in occupational health and occupational medicine.Currently occupational
, ,
exposures in the workplace are complex and diverse and multiple factors affect workers´ health at the same time. Therefore it
is important to elucidate the pathogenesis of occupational disease caused by occupational hazards and implement early
- -
intervention. System epidemiology collects data on multi level exposure and multi omics information to conduct network analysis
-
on the relationship amongrisk factors. and to study the mechanisms of exposures and health outcomes based on multi level data.
, , , ,
Using the study design of system epidemiology occupational environmental lifestyle and social factors are combined as a
,
system to evaluate the health of workers which can better evaluate the adverse health effects caused by occupational hazards.
- , ,
The studies base on multi omics design will explore the pathogenesis of occupational diseases at the molecular cellular and
tissue levels to evaluate the impact of occupational hazards on workers´ health and to explore interventions from multiple
-
perspectives to reduce the occurrence of occupational or work related diseases.

Objective:To study whether sacral lymph nodes should be included in the target volume delineation for those patients with early (stageⅠB-ⅡA) uterus cervix cancer during postoperative radiotherapy. Methods:Forty-six patients with early uterus cervix cancer were given postoperative three dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) in our department for one month after radical resection. The patients were randomly divided into two groups. The sacral lymph nodes were not included in the target volume delineation in the treatment group. But they were delineated in control group. All the patents had no radiotherapy-related contraindications and signed the consent agreement. The patients were followed up. The local controlling rate and the incidence and degree of radioactive proctitis were compared between the two groups. Results:The local controlling rate of the two groups had no significant difference(t=0.000, P=1.000). The doses received by the 5% and 95% volume of the rectum(V_5, V_95), the average dose, and the minimum dose had significant difference between the two groups(t_(V5)=2.169, P_(V5)=0.041; t_(V95)=4.036, P_(V95)=0.001;t_(mean)=2.236, P_(mean)=0.036; t_(min)=2.265, P_(min=0.034), but the maximum dose received by the rectum had no obvious difference (t_(max)=0.518, P_(max)=0.610). The incidence of radioactive proctitis had significant difference between the two groups(t=2.174, P=0.190). Conclusion:For the early uterus cervix cancer patients who have recurrent risk after radical surgery, sacral lymph nodes should not be included in the delineation of target volume during 3D-CRT in order to decrease the incidence of radioactive proctitis.
