Objective To establish a liquid chromatography method for the simultaneous determination of 13 aromatic amine compounds (AAs) in workplace air. Methods A total of 13 AAs in both vapor and aerosol phases were collected in workplace air using a new GDH-6 sampling tube. Samples were desorbed and eluted with methanol, separated using a Symmetry Shield™ RP₁₈ reversed-phase liquid chromatography column, and detected with a diode array detector. Quantification was performed using an external standard method. Results The linear range of the 13 AAs measured by this method was 0.02-373.60 μg/L with the correlation coefficients greater than 0.999 0. The minimum detection concentration was 0.09-14.37 μg/m³, and the minimum quantitative concentration was 0.31-47.90 μg/m³ (both calculated based on sampling 15.0 L of air and 3.0 mL of elution volume). The average desorption and elution efficiency ranged from 97.46% to 101.23%. The within-run relative standard deviation (RSD) was 0.10%-5.99%, and the between-run RSD was 0.17%-2.71%. Samples could be stably stored in sealed conditions at 2-8 ℃ for more than seven days. Conclusion This method is suitable for the simultaneous determination of 13 AAs in workplace air, including both vapor and aerosol phases.

ObjectiveTo understand the monitoring result of occupational hazard in the workplace of key industries in Guangdong Province from 2020 to 2023. Methods The data of occupational hazards in the workplace of 20 key industries in Guangdong Province from 2020 to 2023 were collected from the “Workplace Occupational Hazard Monitoring System” of the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control System subsystem. The monitoring result of occupational hazard factors, occupational health training, occupational health examination, occupational protection, detection of occupational hazardous agents such as dust, chemical substances and noise were analyzed. Results A total of 13 058 enterprises from key industries were recruited as the monitoring subjects in Guangdong Province. There were 290 large-, 1 342 medium-, 7 635 small-, and 3 791 micro-enterprises, with small and micro-enterprises accounting for 58.5% and 29.0% of the total, respectively. A total of 7 542 enterprises exceeded the national standard in the detection of occupational hazards, with a rate of 57.8%. A total of 1 942 517 workers from 13 058 enterprises were recruited, with 835 567 workers were exposed to occupational hazards, with a rate of 43.0%. The rate of occupational health training for enterprise leaders, occupational health management personnel, and workers was 71.9%, 73.8%, and 86.5%, respectively. The abnormal rate of occupational health examinations for workers exposed to noise, dust, and chemical agents was 2.0%, 0.6%, and 1.0%, respectively. The distribution rate of dust masks, anti-poisoning masks or face masks, and noise prevention earplugs or earmuffs was 83.3%, 71.3%, and 77.8%, respectively. The rate of installation of dust prevention facilities, anti-poisoning facilities, and noise prevention facilities was 85.6%, 81.2%, and 50.1%, respectively. The rate of exceeded the national standard of dust, noise in the worksites/types and workplaces showed a decreasing trend year by year (all P<0.01), while the rate of exceeded the national standard of chemical agents in worksites/types and workplaces showed an increasing trend year by year in various occupational hazards (all P<0.01). Conclusion Occupational hazards in the workplace of key industries in Guangdong Province are relatively common. The proportion of workers exposed to occupational hazards is relatively high. It is necessary to further improve the use of noise prevention facilities and protective equipment, strengthen occupational health training for enterprises throughout the province and regularly monitor occupational hazards to reduce the risk of occupational diseases.

ObjectiveTo establish a method for the determination of 1,1,1,2-tetrachloroethane (TeCA) and 1,1,2,2-TeCA in human urine using liquid-liquid extraction-gas chromatography. Methods The 5.0 mL urine sample was mixed with 2.0 g anhydrous sodium sulfate and 5.0 mL ethyl acetate, then vortexed mixing. The 1.0 mL extraction was separated by 100% dimethylpolysiloxane capillary gas chromatography column, detected by flame ionization detector, and quantified by an external standard method. Results The linear ranges of 1,1,1,2-TeCA and 1,1,2,2-TeCA were 0.250-50.750 mg/L, with both correlation coefficients of >0.999 9. The detection limit of 1,1,1,2-TeCA in urine was 0.020 mg/L, and the lower limit of quantification was 0.060 mg/L. The average recovery was 88.02%-101.32%, and the within-run and between-run relative standard deviations (RSDs) were 0.11%-0.47% and 0.39%-1.09%, respectively. The detection limit of 1,1,2,2-TeCA in urine was 0.050 mg/L, and the lower limit of quantification was 0.150 mg/L. The average recovery was 93.42%-101.32%, and the within-run and between-run RSDs were 0.28%-1.04% and 0.50%-1.03%, respectively.

Conclusion This method has high sensitivity, good specificity, simple sample pretreatment, and more intuitive and reliable results. It can be used to determine the level of 1,1,1,2-TeCA and 1,1,2,2-TeCA in urine of occupational population.

Background: Diabetic macrovascular and microvascular complications often coexist and may share similar risk factors and pathological pathways. We aimed to investigate whether 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk, which is commonly assessed in diabetes management, can predict incident diabetic nephropathy (DN) and retinopathy (DR) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods: This prospective cohort study enrolled 2,891 patients with clinically diagnosed T2DM who were free of ASCVD, nephropathy, or retinopathy at baseline in the Guangzhou (2017–2022) and Shaoguan (2019–2021) Diabetic Eye Study in southern China. The 10-year ASCVD risk was calculated by the Prediction for ASCVD Risk in China (China-PAR) equations. Multivariable- adjusted Cox proportional hazard models were developed to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was used to evaluate predictive capability. Results: During follow-up, a total of 171 cases of DN and 532 cases of DR were documented. Each 1% increment in 10-year ASCVD risk was associated with increased risk of DN (pooled HR, 1.122; 95% CI, 1.094 to 1.150) but not DR (pooled HR, 0.996; 95% CI, 0.979 to 1.013). The model demonstrated acceptable performance in predicting new-onset DN (pooled AUC, 0.670; 95% CI, 0.628 to 0.715). These results were consistent across cohorts and subgroups, with the association appearing to be more pronounced in women. Conclusion Ten-year ASCVD risk predicts incident DN but not DR in our study population with T2DM. Regular monitoring of ASCVD risk in routine diabetes practice may add to the ability to enhance population-based prevention for both macrovascular and microvascular diseases, particularly among women.

Biotoxins, which include bacterial, fungal, marine, plant, and animal toxins, are widespread in living and occupational environments, posing potential threats to human health. Rapid detection of biotoxins in blood is crucial for preventing health hazards and enabling timely disease diagnosis and treatment. Biosensors and immunoassay technologies have critical advantages in the rapid detection of biotoxins in blood. Common biosensors, such as surface plasmon resonance biosensors and fluorescent biosensors, enhance sensitivity and reduce detection limits through signal amplification. Common immunoassay methods, such as colloidal gold immunochromatography, fluorescence immunochromatography, and chemiluminescence immunoassay, improve detection efficacy and sensitivity through specific antibody-antigen binding and nanotechnology. However, current rapid detection technologies of bitoxins in blood face challenges such as matrix interference and insufficient specificity, and they fall short in high-throughput detection of multiple toxins simultaneously. Future developments should focus on improving sample pretreatment, innovating signal amplification methods, enhancing specificity on recognition of elements, and designing portable detection devices and high-throughput platforms for simultaneous toxin analysis. These advancements aim to improve the sensitivity and reliability of detection methods, providing more accurate and convenient solutions for biotoxin detection in blood.
