Background Occupational disease diagnosis appraisal is an appeal procedure initiated when a party disagrees with the occupational disease diagnosis conclusion. It is a legal procedure to safeguard the health rights of employees and the legitimate rights and interests of employers. Objective To analyze the data of occupational disease diagnosis appraisal in Shanghai, identify existing problems, and provide suggestions for improving. Methods Statistical analysis was conducted on basic situation, characteristics of workers and employers, disease classification, and consistency between diagnosis and appraisal conclusions of all occupational disease diagnosis appraisal cases from 2012 to 2024. All diagnosis conclusions were named in accordance with the Classified Catalogue of Occupational Diseases included employers were classified according to the Measures for the Statistical Classification of Large, Medium, Small and Micro Enterprises" and the Notice on Adjusting the Provisions for Classifying Enterprise Registration Types; industry classification followed the Industrial Classification for National Economic Activities (GB/T 4754-2017). Results From 2012 to 2024, a total of 260 cases of occupational diseases diagnosis appraisal were closed. The main diagnosis were 138 cases of ear, nose, throat, and oral diseases (53.1%), chemical poisoning (18.8%), and pneumoconiosis and other respiratory diseases (16.2%). The proportion of ear, nose, throat, and oral diseases gradually increased (2022 excluded). The incidence of annual municipal and provincial cases decreased by 76.3% and 85.0% respectively (2024 vs 2012). The consistency rate of conclusions between appraisal and diagnosis gradually increased. The total consistency rates between final appraisals and diagnostic conclusions were 81.5%, and 79.7%, 87.8%, 100.0%, 85.0% for ear, nose, throat, and oral diseases, chemical poisoning, and pneumoconiosis and other respiratory system diseases, respectively. Specifically, the consistency rates were 80.1% and 80.0% for noise-induced deafness and chronic benzene poisoning. In terms of inconsistency reasons, "inconsistent interpretation of standards and excessive discretion in standard application" accounted for 43.8%, followed by "failure to correctly apply standards" (31.3%) and and "discrepancies in occupational exposure history recognition" (15.6%). Conclusion The revisions and improvements of the legal system for occupational disease diagnosis appraisal have played a positive role in improving the consistency of conclusions between appraisal and diagnosis of occupational diseases in Shanghai. It is suggested to further strengthening the publicity and training of occupational disease diagnosis standards to improve the quality of occupational disease diagnosis.

Objective:To evaluate lung ultrasound (LUS) for assessing lung aeration heterogeneity in neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) across gestational ages and analyze its correlation with oxygenation.Methods:This retrospective cohort study enrolled 125 ventilated NRDS neonates from the neonatal intensive care unit of Hebei Children's Hospital (from March 2023 to May 2024), who were stratified as <32 gestational weeks ( n=47) and ≥32 gestational weeks ( n=78). All underwent LUS, chest X-ray, and blood gas analysis within 2 h of admission. The lung ultrasound score (LUSsc) quantified impaired lung volume percentage (graded: A=normal, B=coalescent B-lines, C=dense B-lines/focal consolidation, D=lobar consolidation). Aeration heterogeneity was measured by coefficient of variation (CV, within-patient) and Gini-Simpson index (between-patients), while oxygenation was assessed by arterial oxygen partial pressure/inhaled oxygen concentration (P/F). Group comparisons, including basic information, lung aeration, and lung aeration heterogeneity, used two independent sample t-tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, Chi square tests, or Wilcoxon tests; partial correlation analyzed aeration-oxygenation relationships. Results:(1) Analysis of impaired lung volume percentage revealed similar distribution patterns between groups, with the <32-week cohort ( n=47, 564 lung segments) showing proportions of 15.6% (88/564), 14.9% (84/564), 35.5% (200/564), and 34.0% (192/564) for graded patterns A through D, respectively, while the ≥32-week cohort ( n=78, 936 segments) demonstrated corresponding proportions of 15.7% (147/936), 16.3% (153/936), 31.7% (297/936), and 36.2% (339/936), with no statistically significant difference between groups ( Z=-0.24, P=0.812). (2) Within-patient heterogeneity analysis revealed no significant CV difference between <32-week group and ≥32-week group [0.33 (0.20-0.84) vs. 0.43 (0.21-0.73), Z=-0.99, P=0.321]. (3) Between-patient heterogeneity was significantly higher in the ≥32-week group, as reflected by the Gini-Simpson index [0.12 (0.09-0.14) vs. 0.09 (0.06-0.14), Z=-1.99, P=0.046], with heterogeneous aeration predominantly located in non-gravity-dependent regions—specifically the left upper lung in the <32-week group and anterior lungs in the ≥32-week group. (4) Correlation analyses demonstrated significantly inverse relationships between CV and LUSsc in <32-week and ≥32-week groups ( r=-0.912, P<0.001; r=-0.886, P<0.001), while the ≥32-week group additionally showed positive CV-P/F correlation ( r=0.373, P=0.001) and inverse LUSsc-P/F association ( r=-0.287, P=0.013). Conclusions:LUS effectively evaluates aeration and its heterogeneity in early NRDS. Infants ≥32 weeks exhibit greater between-patient heterogeneity, with ventilation parameters correlating significantly with oxygenation status.

Objective:To evaluate lung ultrasound (LUS) for assessing lung aeration heterogeneity in neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) across gestational ages and analyze its correlation with oxygenation.Methods:This retrospective cohort study enrolled 125 ventilated NRDS neonates from the neonatal intensive care unit of Hebei Children's Hospital (from March 2023 to May 2024), who were stratified as <32 gestational weeks ( n=47) and ≥32 gestational weeks ( n=78). All underwent LUS, chest X-ray, and blood gas analysis within 2 h of admission. The lung ultrasound score (LUSsc) quantified impaired lung volume percentage (graded: A=normal, B=coalescent B-lines, C=dense B-lines/focal consolidation, D=lobar consolidation). Aeration heterogeneity was measured by coefficient of variation (CV, within-patient) and Gini-Simpson index (between-patients), while oxygenation was assessed by arterial oxygen partial pressure/inhaled oxygen concentration (P/F). Group comparisons, including basic information, lung aeration, and lung aeration heterogeneity, used two independent sample t-tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, Chi square tests, or Wilcoxon tests; partial correlation analyzed aeration-oxygenation relationships. Results:(1) Analysis of impaired lung volume percentage revealed similar distribution patterns between groups, with the <32-week cohort ( n=47, 564 lung segments) showing proportions of 15.6% (88/564), 14.9% (84/564), 35.5% (200/564), and 34.0% (192/564) for graded patterns A through D, respectively, while the ≥32-week cohort ( n=78, 936 segments) demonstrated corresponding proportions of 15.7% (147/936), 16.3% (153/936), 31.7% (297/936), and 36.2% (339/936), with no statistically significant difference between groups ( Z=-0.24, P=0.812). (2) Within-patient heterogeneity analysis revealed no significant CV difference between <32-week group and ≥32-week group [0.33 (0.20-0.84) vs. 0.43 (0.21-0.73), Z=-0.99, P=0.321]. (3) Between-patient heterogeneity was significantly higher in the ≥32-week group, as reflected by the Gini-Simpson index [0.12 (0.09-0.14) vs. 0.09 (0.06-0.14), Z=-1.99, P=0.046], with heterogeneous aeration predominantly located in non-gravity-dependent regions—specifically the left upper lung in the <32-week group and anterior lungs in the ≥32-week group. (4) Correlation analyses demonstrated significantly inverse relationships between CV and LUSsc in <32-week and ≥32-week groups ( r=-0.912, P<0.001; r=-0.886, P<0.001), while the ≥32-week group additionally showed positive CV-P/F correlation ( r=0.373, P=0.001) and inverse LUSsc-P/F association ( r=-0.287, P=0.013). Conclusions:LUS effectively evaluates aeration and its heterogeneity in early NRDS. Infants ≥32 weeks exhibit greater between-patient heterogeneity, with ventilation parameters correlating significantly with oxygenation status.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of the San Diego osteotomy in treating developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in children.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 33 pediatric cases of posterolateral acetabular dysplasia treated with the San Diego osteotomy at the 920th Hospital of the People's Liberation Army Joint Logistics Support Force in China from August 2018 to August 2022. The cohort included 3 males (4 hips) and 30 females (36 hips), with an average age of 4.9±1.4 years (range, 2-8 years). Among these, 32 cases (38 hips) were diagnosed with DDH, and 1 case (2 hips) with paralytic dislocation of the hip. According to the T?nnis classification, 3 hips were classified as type II, 25 hips as type III, and 12 hips as type IV. The San Diego osteotomy technique was utilized to enhance the posterior lateral acetabular coverage, combined with femoral osteotomy to adjust the hip abduction, flexion, and adduction angles. Postoperative outcomes were assessed using the modified Severin radiographic classification and the McKay grading system.Results:All 33 patients were followed up for an average of 37.70±18.44 months (range, 12-74 months). No cases of postoperative hip redislocation or residual acetabular underdevelopment were observed. The hip abduction angle improved from 24.98°±3.48° at 6 weeks postoperatively to 37.28°±4.63° at the 3-month follow-up, and 64.05°±3.82° at the 6-month follow-up, with a statistically significant difference ( F=77.327, P<0.001). The hip flexion angle increased from 26.34°±5.05° at 6 weeks postoperatively to 76.53°±4.38° at 3 months, and 106.47°±2.29° at 6 months, also showing a statistically significant difference ( F=54.377, P<0.001). The hip adduction angle progressed from 1.73°±1.18° at 6 weeks postoperatively to 12.33°±1.97° at 3 months, and 29.03°±4.17° at 6 months, with a significant difference ( F=45.162, P<0.001). The McKay hip joint grading system indicated 11 excellent, 20 good, and 9 acceptable outcomes, yielding an overall excellent and good rate of 78%. The Severin radiographic grading revealed 16 hips at grade I and 24 hips at grade II. Five patients (5 hips) experienced transient vascular compromise of the femoral head at 3 months postoperatively, which resolved after a 1-month non-weight-bearing period. At the final follow-up, one patient had residual femoral head enlargement in the right hip, while the remaining 32 cases showed satisfactory ossification and remodeling of the femoral head. Conclusion:The San Diego osteotomy significantly enhances hip joint range of motion and results in satisfactory hip joint function in children with developmental dysplasia of the hip
