Objective: To investigate the status of heat illness, knowledge awareness and adaptive behaviors of heat wave knowledge among food delivery riders, so as to provide a basis for optimizing heat wave response measures for food delivery riders. Methods: In November 2022, food delivery riders from a large food delivery platform in Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province were selected as survey subjects using a cluster sampling method. A self-designed electronic questionnaire was used to select demographic information, work status, lifestyle behaviors and disease history, heat illness status, knowledge awareness and adaptive behaviors of heatwave. Results: A total of 911 questionnaires were distributed, and 830 valid questionnaires were recovered, resulting in a valid response rate of 91.11%. Among the respondents, 796 (95.90%) were male, and 818 (98.55%) worked full-time. The mean age was (27.75±8.00) years. A total of 470 respondents (56.63%) had a work tenure of less than 1 year. The primary working hours were 8-<12 hours, with 504 people accounting for 60.72%. There were 108 cases of heatstroke, with an occurrence rate of 13.01%. And 286 people reported heat-related symptoms, with an occurrence rate of 34.46%. The overall awareness rate of heat wave knowledge was 73.22%, while the awareness rate of heat warning signal classification was relatively low at 9.04%. The heat wave cognition score was (5.86±1.31) points. There were statistically significant differences in heat wave cognition scores among food delivery riders of different ages, educational levels, family annual income, work tenures, and work durations (all P<0.05). Regarding positive adaptive behaviors, the number of riders paying attention to weather forecasts and actively learning about preventive measures was higher (734 people each, accounting for 88.43%). Regarding negative adaptive behaviors, the number of riders who often drank ice-cold beverages was higher (509 people, accounting for 61.33%). The heat wave adaptive behavior score was (6.88±1.77) points. There were statistically significant differences in adaptive behavior scores among riders with different educational levels, family annual income, work tenures, and smoking frequency (all P<0.05). Conclusions The occurrence rates of heatstroke and heat-related symptoms among food delivery riders are relatively high. The knowledge awareness and adaptive behaviors regarding heat wave are at a moderate level. It is suggested to strengthen health education, reinforce risk cognition of heat wave, and promote positive adaptive behaviors among food delivery riders.

ObjectiveTo establish a high-performance liquid chromatography（HPLC） for the quantitative analysis of multiple components in Gegen Qinlian tablets， and to comprehensively evaluate the quality of samples from different manufacturers by integrating chemical pattern recognition and technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution（TOPSIS）， in order to provide a reference basis for quality evaluation and control of Gegen Qinlian tablets. MethodsHPLC was employed to determine the contents of 10 components in 28 batches of Gegen Qinlian tablets collected from 6 manufacturers， and taking the detection results as variables， SIMCA 14.1 and SPSS 26.0 were employed for cluster analysis（CA）， principal component analysis（PCA）， and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis（OPLS-DA） to identify key components affecting the quality. Then， TOPSIS analysis was employed to rank the quality of Gegen Qinlian tablets from the 6 manufacturers and establish a comprehensive quality evaluation method. ResultsA quantitative method for Gegen Qinlian tablets was established. After methodological validation， the method was found to be stable and reliable， and could be used for the quantitative analysis of this preparation. The contents of 3′-hydroxy puerarin， puerarin， 3′-methoxy puerarin， daidzein， coptisine hydrochloride， epiberberine， jatrorrhizine hydrochloride， berberine hydrochloride， palmatine hydrochloride and baicalin in 28 batches of samples were 3.58-7.35， 24.88-42.32， 4.20-9.36， 4.33-7.60， 2.52-6.44， 0.93-4.10， 0.58-3.05， 10.68-22.92， 0.82-4.82， 11.73-60.16 mg·g^-1， respectively. Among them， puerarin， berberine hydrochloride and baicalin all met the limit requirements for this preparation specified in the 2025 edition of the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China. CA and PCA clustered the 28 batches of samples into 5 categories， PCA extracted 2 principal components with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 90.588%， and OPLS-DA screened out 4 differential markers with variable importance in the projection（VIP） values>1.0， namely baicalin， 3′-hydroxy puerarin， coptisine hydrochloride and palmatine hydrochloride， which might be the main components affecting the quality of Gegen Qinlian tablets. TOPSIS analysis showed that the comprehensive score of each evaluation index（C_i） values of different manufacturers were different. Among them， the C_i of manufacturer B was ranked higher， indicating potentially superior quality， while the C_i of manufacturer A was ranked lower， suggesting potentially inferior quality. ConclusionThis study establishes a quantitative method for Gegen Qinlian tablets， and the content uniformity of the same manufacturer is good， while there are differences in the contents of active components among different manufacturers. Through the chemical pattern recognition analysis， it is found that the content differences of Gegen Qinlian tablets may be related to baicalin， 3′-hydroxy puerarin， coptisine hydrochloride and palmatine hydrochloride.

Background As a pillar industry in China, the manufacturing sector has a high incidence of non-fatal occupational injuries. The factors influencing non-fatal occupational injuries in this industry are closely related at various levels, including individual, equipment, environment, and management, making the analysis of these influencing factors complex. Objective To identify influencing factors of non-fatal occupational injuries among manufacturing workers, providing a basis for targeted interventions and surveillance. Methods A total of 2243 frontline workers from cable and shipbuilding enterprises were selected as study subjects to investigate the incidence of non-fatal occupational injuries and collect information at four levels: individual, equipment, management, and environment in past 12 months. Data balancing was performed using resampling, and LASSO regression was used to select factors of non-fatal occupational injuries. The influence degree and type of variables were judged based on the magnitude of the estimated coefficients of each variable, where variables with estimated coefficients > 0 are risk factors, and those <0 are protective factors. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC)curve (AUC) was used to test the performance of the model, with an AUC value > 0.7 indicating good model performance. Results Among the 2243 frontline workers, males accounted for 77.7% (1742 out of 2243), with the main age range being 40-49 years old, representing 29.5% (661 out of 2243), 82.7% of the workers (1854 out of 2243) were married, and 55.6% (1248 out of 2243) had a junior middle school education level. The average monthly income for 51.0% (1144 out of 2243) of the workers was between 5000 and 6999 Chinese Yuan. The incidence of non-fatal occupational injuries among the manufacturing workers was 8.4% (189/2243) in the past 12 months. Among the 22 factors associated with the occurrence of non-fatal occupational injuries (P<0.05), 10 were individual-level factors, including gender, smoking, alcohol consumption, colleague relationships, average exercise duration, job burnout, work fatigue, musculoskeletal disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and neurological and sensory organ diseases; 3 were equipment-level factors, including equipment operability, hazardous workpieces, and safety hazards; 5 were environmental-level factors, including low temperatures, special operations, noise, workspace size, and dirty and disorderly environment; and 4 were management-level factors, including daily working hours, weekly working days, overtime, and pre-job technical training. The AUC value of the LASSO regression model was 0.704 and the final model retained a total of 10 variables. Among them, there were 7 risk factors for non-fatal occupational injuries (coefficient > 0), including safety hazards, musculoskeletal disorders, dangerous workpieces, job burnout, dirty and disorderly environment, smoking, and male gender; and 3 protective factors (coefficient < 0), including pre-job technical training, good colleague relationship, and long working days per week. Conclusion Manufacturing enterprises need to focus on the incidence of non-fatal occupational injuries and conduct targeted interventions for non-fatal occupational injuries by controlling potential safety hazards, providing pre-job technical training, reducing dangerous workpieces, rectifying working environment, and reasonably arranging working hours.

Background Diseases severely affect the efficiency of workers. Comorbidity refers to the coexistence of two or more chronic diseases or health problems in the same individual. Previous studies have primarily focused on occupational injuries caused by environmental exposures, while the analysis of the epidemiological characteristics of self-reported diseases and occupational injuries among manufacturing workers has been insufficient. Objective To analyze the distribution of self-reported diseases and occupational injuries among manufacturing workers, the strength of correlation between different diseases, and common disease combinations, and to preliminarily explore the relationship between self-reported diseases and occupational injuries. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted to investigate the occupational injuries of 2382 workers in 2 manufacturing enterprises over the past year, and 2355 questionnaires were valid after cleaning. The questionnaire included three parts: basic information, occupational injury occurrence, and disease prevalence. The self-reported diseases diagnosed by physicians included musculoskeletal diseases, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, mental health problems, neurological and sensory organ diseases, digestive organ diseases, reproductive and urinary organ diseases, skin diseases, tumors, endocrine and metabolic system diseases, blood diseases and birth defects, a total of 11 types. Log-binomial model was used to calculate the prevalence ratio (PR) value of the association between different diseases, and UpSet diagram was used to present the disease combination pattern. Results In total, 40.2% (946/2355) of the study participants reported at least one disease, while 8.6% (203/2355), 5.2% (122/2355), and 5.9% (140/2355) reported having two, three, and four or more diseases, respectively. A higher prevalence was observed for musculoskeletal diseases, neurological and sensory organ diseases, digestive organ diseases, and skin diseases, which accounted for 18.0% (423/2355), 13.8% (324/2355), 9.3% (218/2355), and 9.1% (214/2355), respectively. Workers with musculoskeletal disorders, cardiovascular diseases, or neurological and sensory organ diseases reported significantly higher incidence of occupational injuries compared with workers without the corresponding diseases (P<0.001, P=0.041, and P=0.006, respectively). Musculoskeletal diseases were strongly associated with comorbidities of neurological and sensory organ diseases (PR values were 1.86 and 1.98, respectively), and the other patters were musculoskeletal diseases and digestive organ diseases (PR and OR values were 1.57 and 2.35, respectively), and musculoskeletal diseases and cardiovascular diseases (PR and OR values were 1.46 and 2.22, respectively). The largest binomial comorbidity group involved musculoskeletal diseases and neurological and sensory organ diseases, accounting for 5.4% (25/465) of the comorbid workers. Conclusion Among the self-reported diseases of manufacturing workers, musculoskeletal diseases, neurological and sensory organ diseases, digestive organ diseases, and skin diseases are more common. Musculoskeletal diseases and neurological and sensory organ diseases are the most common in all comorbidities. Musculoskeletal diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and neurological and sensory organ diseases are associated with occupational injuries. In the prevention and control of occupational injuries, joint prevention strategies targeting multiple diseases should be strengthened.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism by which Wendantang regulates the silent information regulator 3 （SIRT3）/peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator-1α （PGC-1α） pathway to influence energy metabolism and thereby prevent and treat myocardial ischemia （MI） in a rat model of hyperlipidemia （HL）. MethodsThirty SD rats were randomly assigned into five groups： control， model， low-dose （3.702 g·kg^-1·d^-1） Wendantang， high-dose （7.404 g·kg^-1·d^-1） Wendantang， and positive control （trimetazidine， 0.006 g·kg^-1·d^-1）， with six rats in each group. The control group was fed normally， while the other groups were fed with a high-fat diet for six weeks for the modeling of HL. Subsequently， the drug intervention groups were administrated with corresponding drugs by gavage， and the control and model groups received an equivalent volume of normal saline for 14 days. One hour after the last gavage， the other groups except the control group were injected intraperitoneally with posterior pituitary hormone （30 U·kg^-1） to induce MI. Electrocardiography （ECG） was employed to detect changes in the electrocardiogram. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was performed to observe cardiac pathological changes. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to measure the serum levels of cardiac troponin I（cTnI）， myoglobin （MYO）， and creatine kinase-MB （CK-MB）. Colorimetry was used to determine the levels of total cholesterol （TC） and triglycerides （TG） in the serum and ATP， malondialdehyde （MDA）， and superoxide dismutase （SOD） in the myocardial tissue. Western blot was employed to determine the protein levels of SIRT3， PGC-1α， adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase （AMPK）， and phosphorylated AMPK （p-AMPK） in the myocardial tissue. Real-time PCR was employed to measure the mRNA levels of SIRT3， PGC-1α， and AMPKα in the myocardial tissue. ResultsCompared with the control group， the model group showed significant J-point deviation and elevation in the ECG image， increased heart rate， disarrangement of myocardial fibers with unclear boundaries， elevated levels of CK-MB， cTnI， MYO， TC， and TG （P<0.05， P<0.01）， declined levels of SOD and ATP （P<0.01）， down-regulated mRNA levels of SIRT3， PGC-1α， and AMPK （P<0.05）， and down-regulated protein levels of SIRT3， PGC-1α， and p-AMPK （P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， the low-dose and high-dose Wendantang groups and the trimetazidine group showed inhibited J-point deviation and elevation in the ECG image， slowed heart rate， reduced inflammatory cell infiltration， alleviated disarrangement of myocardial fibers， declined levels of CK-MB， cTnI， MYO， TC， and TG （P<0.05， P<0.01）， elevated level of SOD （P<0.01）， up-regulated mRNA levels of SIRT3， PGC-1α， and AMPK （P<0.05， P<0.01） and up-regulated protein levels of SIRT3， PGC-1α， and p-AMPK （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionWendantang can effectively intervene in HL-associated MI in rats by reducing oxidative stress in myocardial cells， alleviating lipid metabolism disorders， and improving myocardial energy metabolism via the SIRT3/PGC-1α signaling pathway.

To the present study aimed to investigate the protective effects of Erlong Zuoci Pills on oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in House Ear Institute-Organ of Corti 1 (HEI-OC1) and to explore the mechanism by cellular metabolomics. There were 6 groups in the experiment: the control group, model group, three dose groups of ELZC (low, medium, and high), and positive control ascorbic acid group. The oxidative stress injury model was established in the HEI-OC1 by inducing 0.9 mmol/L H2O2 for 12 h. The proliferation of HEI-OC1 cells was observed by CCK-8 assay; the contents and activity of lactate hydrogenase (LDH), reactive oxygen species (ROS), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in HEI-OC1 cells were detected by corresponding kits. Finally, the endogenous substances of cells were analyzed from the perspective of metabolomics. Compared with the model group, ELZC groups could significantly increase the cell proliferation rate after administration. Moreover, they could also ameliorate the increase of ROS and LDH content and the decrease of antioxidant enzyme SOD caused by H2O2. Metabolomic results revealed significant differences among multiple groups in the scores of partial least squares discriminant analysis. The ELZC group could relocate the model group back to the control group. The metabolic regulation of ELZC on oxidative stress in HEI-OC1 cells mainly affects nucleotide metabolism and amino acid metabolism. In summary, the results indicate that ELZC exhibits protective effects on H2O2-induced oxidative stress in HEI-OC1 cells. Additionally, this protective effect may be produced by increasing the content of amino acids such as uridine and phenylalanine, thereby regulating pathways such as pyrimidine metabolism, phenylalanine metabolism, biosynthesis of phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan, and histidine metabolism.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect and mechanism of bumetanide on lung injury in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease （COPD） model rats. METHODS COPD rat model was induced by lipopolysaccharide， and they were randomly divided into model group （COPD group）， bumetanide low-dose and high-dose groups （Bumetanide-L group， Bumetanide-H group）， bumetanide high-dose+Yes-associated protein/transcriptional coactivator containing PDZ-binding motif （YAP/TAZ） signaling pathway activator group （Bumetanide-H+PY-60 group）， with 12 rats in each group. Another 12 normal rats were selected as normal control group （Control group）. Thirty minutes before modeling， bumetanide/normal saline was inhaled or/and PY-60/ normal saline was injected into the tail vein. On the next day after the completion of modeling and drug administration， the pulmonary function index of the rats in each group was measured [forced expiratory volume in 0.3 seconds （FEV0.3）， forced vital capacity （FVC）， peak expiratory flow （PEF）， FEV0.3/FVC]. The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-6 （IL-6） and IL-1β in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid （BALF） were determined； the pathological morphology of lung tissue and degree of pulmonary fibrosis were observed. The expression levels of transforming growth factor- β （TGF- β）， α -smooth muscle actin （α-SMA） and TAZ protein as well as the phosphorylation of YAP protein in lung tissues were detected. RESULTS Compared with COPD group， the pathological injury of lung tissue in Bumetanide-L and Bumetanide-H groups was alleviated； the exfoliation of lung epithelial cells， tube wall thickening and the degree of pulmonary fibrosis were alleviated； inflammatory cell infiltration was reduced， and blue collagen deposition was reduced； FEV0.3， FVC， FEV0.3/FVC and PEF were significantly increased， while the lung injury score， levels of TNF-α， IL-6， IL-1β， expression levels of TGF-β， α-SMA and TAZ protein and the phosphorylation of YAP protein were significantly decreased （P＜0.05）. PY-60 could significantly reverse the improvement effects of bumetanide on above indexes （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Bumetanide can alleviate lung injury， inflammatory response and pulmonary fibrosis in COPD rats， and its mechanism is related to inhibiting YAP/TAZ signaling pathway.

AIM: To observe related influence of eye-use behaviors on the onset and progression of myopia among primary school student in Minhang district, Shanghai under the background of “double reduction”, and evaluate the impact of eye-use habit and behavior on the myopia development in children and adolescents.METHODS:A stratified cluster sampling method was adopted to select study subjects for longitudinal observation. Random sampling was conducted among grade 1-4 students from three primary schools in Minhang District, Shanghai from September to December 2021 after the implementation of the “double reduction” policy, with a 2-year observation period. Annual vision screenings were performed to obtain uncorrected visual acuity, non-cycloplegic refraction data, and spherical equivalent(SE). Biometric measurements were taken to acquire axial length(AL)and corneal curvature(CR). Questionnaires were administered to investigate the eye-use behaviors of participants. Taking myopia ≤-0.50 D as the diagnostic criterion, myopia incidence were calculated. SE and AL changes were used to evaluate myopia progression. Logistic regression analysis was employed to identify risk factors for myopia, and analyze the relationship between eye-use behaviors and myopia development or progression.RESULTS:A total of 2 986 children complete a follow-up for 2 a. The baseline prevalence of poor vision was 32.74%, increasing to 38.92% and 43.73% at 1 and 2 a follow-up, respectively, demonstrating a yearly upward trend. Taking uncorrected visual acuity combined with non-cycloplegic refraction as clinical screening criteria for myopia, the incidence was 24.72%, 27.60%, and 29.64% at baseline, 1, and 2 a follow-ups, respectively. These showed no statistical significant difference compared to the diagnostic standard of cycloplegic refraction SE(23.98%, 27.03%, and 29.17%; all P>0.05). Logistic regression analysis found that daily outdoor and sleep duration were protective factors against myopia(OR=0.54, 0.84, all P<0.05), while age, parental myopia, duration of offline education, online education, electronic device usage, and poor visual posture were identified as risk factors(OR=2.72, 1.54, 1.72, 1.12, 1.47, 1.26, all P<0.001). Further analysis of myopia progression in baseline myopic children over 2 a revealed that age, parental myopia, baseline SE, duration of offline/online education, electronic device usage, and poor visual posture may contribute to rapid myopia progression.CONCLUSION:Under the background of “double reduction”, the eye-use behavior among primary school students in Minhang District, Shanghai has an important impact on the occurrence and development of myopia. In order to effectively prevent and control myopia, it is necessary to further strengthen the education and guidance of eye-use behavior.

⁶⁰Co-γ ray irradiation has the unique advantages of high efficiency， strong penetration， operation at room temperature and no residue， which has been widely used in the sterilization of Chinese medicinal materials， decoction pieces， Chinese patent medicine. However， the irradiation effect may cause changes in the content of chemical components in Chinese materia medica or the emergence of new radiolysis products， leading to reduced efficacy and uncontrollable safety risks. This paper reviewed the relevant literature at home and abroad， summarized the effect of irradiation sterilization on various types of chemical compositions of Chinese medicinal materials and their preparations， and analyzed and explored the rule of change. The results showed that the content changes of various chemical components in Chinese materia medica after ⁶⁰Co-γ ray irradiation sterilization varied. The contents of most flavonoids， terpenoids， phenylpropanoids and quinones decreased after irradiation， and the degree of decrease increased with the elevated irradiation dose. The contents of lignans， alkaloids， isoflavones and some terpenoids did not change significantly before and after irradiation， while the content changes of triterpenoid saponins， dihydroflavonols， chalcones， sugars and glycosides after irradiation were not yet uniform. Therefore， it is recommended to pay attention to the compositional changes of irradiated Chinese medicines， strengthen the research on the standards of irradiated Chinese medicines， and standardize the irradiation and sterilization of Chinese medicines in order to promote the healthy and rational application of irradiated Chinese medicines.
