Objective To evaluate contrast-enhanced MRI sequence for diagnosing cholangiocarcinoma.Methods Cholangiocarcinoma was confirmed by surgery and pathology in 17 cases,all underwent preoperative CT and MRI T1-VIBE scan with contrast-enhancement sequence.We retrospectively analyzed imaging signs in two scan methods,including lesion position,number,size,enhancement degree,expansion degree of bile duct,invasion of adjacent artery and portal vein,and portal vein tumor thrombosis.The differences on detecting lesions between two methods were compared.Results The contrast to noise ratio (CNR) between tumor and liver tissue in MRI T1-VIBE images was obviously superior to that in CT images.Peripheral lesion boundary in T1-VIBE enhanced images was clearer than CT.One hemorrhage lesion was shown in T1-VIBE images,and tumor thrombosis was visible in the left branch of portal vein in 1 case.Bile duct wall lesions in T1-VIBE enhanced images was more evident than CT in hilar cholangiocarcinoma and extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.The VIBE enhanced images find more lesions in 9 out of 11 multiple focus cases,compared with CT images.Conclusions Contrast-enhanced MRI T1-VIBE sequence can give more comprehensive and clear evaluation on cholangiocarcinoma,and has important clinical diagnostic values.

Objective Since integrons play an important role in the spread of antibiotic resistance genes in bacteria,the characterization of a new resistance gene cassette in class 1 integron positive strains of E.coli was analyzed. Methods The presence and genetic content of class 1 integron were examined by PCR and sequencing.The sequence was analyzed by using some bioinformatics softwares.Results 5 class 1 integron positive strains were amplified by primers of in-F and in-B which were set for amplifying the region of antibiotics resistance genes.Among the 5 strains,an amplicon of 1009 bp was yielded.Sequencing analysis revealed that amplicon of 1009 bp harbored a 780 bp ORF.Further analysis with bioinformatics software showed that it was 99.6% and 99.5% identical to the known aadA23 and aadA21 cassette,and was just 66.4% identical to the known aadA5 cassette.It was conferring resistant to spectinomycin and streptomycin,and was given a new name aadA23b.Conclusions Multi-drug resistance genes has been proved changeable in E.coli clinical strains.The result not only stressed the need for continuing surveillance of antibiotic resistance in the molecular level,but also the need caring for genetic variation of drug resistance gene cassettes.

Objective:To investigate the effect of dihydromyricetin (DMY) on LPS-induced septic shock in mice and the related underlying mechanism.Methods:The LPS-induced septic shock mice model was established after the mice were pre-treated by DMY for 7 days.The mortality rate was calculated at 24,48,72,96,120,144 and 168 h after the mice were intraperitoneal injected with LPS.For elucidation of underlying mechanism ,RAW246.7 were pre-incubated with DMY for 1 h,and then stimulated by LPS 100 ng/ml.Western blot was performed for determination of P-ERK,P-JNK and P-p38 expression.Immunohistochemistry was applied to explore c-Fos and c-Jun nucleus translocation.Results:DMY could significantly inhibit LPS-induced mice mortality.Inhibitory effect of DMY on the phosphorylation of JNK and p 38 contributed to the anti-inflammatory effect of DMY in vivo.Furthermore , DMY obviously prevented c-Fos and c-Jun nucleus translocation.Conclusion:The anti-inflammatory effect of DMY is attributed to the suppression on c-Fos and c-Jun nucleus translocation ,via inhibition of the phosphorylation of JNK and p 38.

Objective:To investigate the effects of long-term ionizing radiation on peripheral blood cells of nuclear power workers.Methods:In March 2019, a total of 530 radiation exposed workers in the nuclear power industry who underwent in-service radiation occupational health examination in Guangzhou occupational disease prevention and control hospital in 2018 and with service age ≥1 year were selected as the radiation group.

Objective: To explore the impact of welding operations on the health status of workers with low working age, and provide a basis for occupational health risk assessment for workers of low working age. Methods: Used the method of cluster sampling to randomly selected workers from an automobile manufacturing plant in Guangzhou as research subjects: 982 workers with welding posts of 1 year ≤working age ≤5 years were welding groups, 707 workers with simple exposure noise of 1 year ≤working age ≤5 years were assembly groups, and 717 workers in pre-job medical examinations were pre-job groups from June 2017 to September 2018. Then conducted occupational health checks on all subjects, investigated and detected the occupational hazards in welding posts and assembly posts. Results: There was no statistical difference between the noise over-standard rate of welding posts' (59.3%, 16/27) and the assembly posts' (47.4%, 9/19) (P>0.05) . The over-standard rate of welding fume, manganese and its inorganic compounds in welding posts was 11.11% (3/27) . The results of occupational health examination showed that the detection rate of disease or abnormal of the welding group was 78.4% (770/982) higher than 70.2% (496/707) in the assembly group and 53.0% (380/717) in the pre-job group (the value of 2 were 14.92 and 122.37, respectively, P<0.05) . The rate of hearing loss of the assembly group and the welding group were 14.7% (104/707) and 19.3% (190/982) , respectively, which was higher than that of the pre-job group (10.5%, 75/717) , and the hearing loss rate gradually increased with the increase of working age (the value of linear-by-linear association were 12.04 and 44.67, respectively, P<0.01) . Compared with the hearing loss rate of each working age of the assembly group, the hearing loss rate of each working age of the welding group was higher, and when the working age was 3 years, the risk of hearing loss in the welding group was 2.70 times that of the assembly group (P<0.01) . The rate of pulmonary dysfunction in the welding group was 19.2% (189/982) higher than that in the pre-job group (12.6%, 90/717) , and it increased with the increase of working age (the value of linear-by-linear association was 15.97, P<0.01) . Conclusion Welding work seriously damages the health of workers with low working age, increases the hearing loss of workers and the occurrence of pulmonary dysfunction; manganese and its compounds increases noise-induced damage to the hearing system.

Objective:To investigate the occupational health status of electric welding workers and explore the effects of electric welding on hearing loss and respiratory damage.Methods:From August to December 2021, the cluster sampling method was used to select workers from an automobile manufacturer in Guangzhou City as research subjects: 636 welding workers in the welding workshop as the welding group, 757 assembly workers in the engine workshop and the final assembly workshop exposed to pure noise as the assembly group. Occupational disease hazard factors were detected for welding positions and assembly positions, and occupational health examination was carried out for research subjects. The occupational health status, the trends of hearing loss and respiratory abnormalities with working age were compared and analyzed between the two groups. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the association between hearing loss and respiratory abnormalities in welding workers.Results:The excess rates of welding fumes, manganese and its compounds in the welding position were both 9.68% (3/31). Its noise exposure intensity [ (85.36±2.68) dB (A) ] and excess rate [48.39% (15/31) ] were not significantly different from those in the assembly position [ (84.86±3.28) dB (A) and 43.24% (16/37) ] ( P>0.05). The results of the occupational health examination showed that the detection rates of hearing loss, digital radiography (DR) chest X-ray abnormality, alanine aminotransferase abnormality, deazelaic aminotransferase abnormality and white blood cell count abnormality of workers in the welding group were higher than those in the assembly group ( P<0.05). The detection rates of hearing loss, DR chest X-ray abnormality, pulmonary ventilation abnormality in the welding group and the detection rate of hearing loss in the assembly group increased with the working age of the workers ( P<0.05). The hearing loss detection rate and DR chest X-ray abnormality detection rate of the workers with ≥9 years working age in the welding group were both higher than those in the assembly group workers with same working age ( P<0.05). The binary logistic regression analysis showed that abnormal pulmonary ventilation and abnormal DR chest X-ray were the risk factors for hearing loss in welding workers ( OR=10.83, 95% CI: 7.31-16.06; OR=16.59, 95% CI: 5.72-48.10; P<0.05) . Conclusion:Hearing loss and respiratory damage are prominent problems among welding workers, and the detection rates of abnormality increase with the working age of the workers. Hearing loss in welding workers is associated with abnormal pulmonary ventilation and abnormal DR chest X-ray.
