OBJECTIVETo evaluate the monitoring and early warning functions of the occupational disease reporting system right now in China, and to analyze their influencing factors.
METHODSAn improved audit tool (ODIT) was used to score the monitoring and early warning functions with a total score of 10. The nine indices were completeness of information on the reporting form, coverage of the reporting system, accessibility of criteria or guidelines for diagnosis, education and training for physicians, completeness of the reporting system, statistical methods, investigation of special cases, release of monitoring information, and release of early warning information.
RESULTSAccording to the evaluation, the occupational disease reporting system in China had a score of 5.5 in monitoring existing occupational diseases with a low score for release of monitoring information; the reporting system had a score of 6.5 in early warning of newly occurring occupational diseases with low scores for education and training for physicians as well as completeness of the reporting system.
CONCLUSIONThe occupational disease reporting system in China still does not have full function in monitoring and early warning. It is the education and participation of physicians from general hospitals in the diagnosis and treatment of occupational diseases and suspected occupational diseases that need to be enhanced. In addition, the problem of monitoring the incidence of occupational diseases needs to be solved as soon as possible.

[Abstract ] Objective The orthodontic-surgery is the most effective way to treat the severe skeletal class Ⅲmalocclusion,but the long-term stability is still disputed .The aim of this systematic review is to analyze the long-term stability of hard tissue of seriously skeletal Class Ⅲ malocclusion patients treated with orthodontic combined surgical treatment . Methods Literature were searched through the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials , Cochrane Library, Medline via pubmed (1950-2014), EMBASE (1980-2014) and other foreign databases , and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database , China National Knowledge Infrastructure Database , VIP Database for Chinese Technical Periodicals , digital journal of Wan fang Data and so on .Unpublished conference papers and gray litera-tures were collected manually .The literatures consist of randomized controlled trials ( RCT) , quasi-randomized controlled trials and clini-cal case-control trial (CCT) were selected.Then meta analysis was performed for annexable literatures and qualitative description was performed for diverged documents . Results Five foreign articles and 1 Chinese article suitable for analysis were ultimately studied . All the studies were CCT and a total of 260 patients were involved in the present systematic review .Meta analysis showed that the SNA , SNB, ANB, MP SN and Y-axis did not change significantly during 3 years after operation (P>0.05) and a good skeletal class I facial types were maintained .The comparison results of MP-SN and Y-axis showed that there was no significant statistical difference and the mandibular plane angle maintained the relative stability .Meta analysis was not performed because of the different measurement methods of A, B, Pg and Ramus inclination , so the qualitative description was used .Point A and Ramus inclination remained relatively stable posi-tion, but point B and Pg had some replace compared with post-operative. Conclusion The orthodontic and surgical treatment for skeletal classⅢmalocclusion could keep the hard tissue relative stabil-ity except a little replace of the mandibular .

Objective:
To analyze the levels and trends of the burden of disease attributable to asbestosis from 2006 to 2015.
Methods:
Theincidence of asbestosis from 2006 to 2015 was used for calculation, with data of disability weight and remission rate from Global burden of disease study 2015 (GBD 2015) and DisMoD-MR 2.1 software for the calculation of duration and age of year onset. The reference template of GBD was adopted to calculate disability adjusted life year (DALY) , year of life lost (YLL) and year of lived with disability (YLD) value in order to analyze the level and changing trend of burden of disease attributable to asbestosis.
Results:
A total YLD attributable to asbestosis during 2006 and 2015 in China was 39632. The YLD burden of female was more severe than male, which accounted for 20361 in female and 19271 in male. In 2015, DALY attributable to asbestosis decreased from 8623.76 in 2006 to 6436. Among that, in 2015, YLD was 6436 and YLL was 73.76. 2006 had a highest level of DALY and 2008 had the lowest level of DALY, which accounted for 8623.76 in 2006 and 1558 in 2008. DALY during 2008 and 2015 had a fluctuant increase, and both male and female had such trend.
Conclusion
The level of burden of disease attributable to asbestosis is higher in male than in female during 2006 and 2015. Between 2006 and 2015, burden of disease attributable to asbestosis has a fluctuant increase trend.

Objective:To explore the asymmetry of neonatal brain white matter using fractional anisotropy (FA) parameter generated from diffusion tensor imaging (DTI).Methods:From January 2011 to June 2013, 88 neonates with normal cranial MRI performance, aged 1-14 (7.7±0.3) days and gestational age 31-42 (37.5±0.3) weeks, were retrospectively collected from the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University. According to the gestational age at birth, the neonates were divided into preterm group (37 cases) and term group (51 cases). DTI was processed to generate FA parametric maps. Tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) was used to analyze the asymmetry in neonatal white matter. Regions of interest were placed in bilaterally symmetrical white matter tracts. The white matter tracts included the bilateral anterior thalamic radiation, corticospinal tract-posterior limb of the inner capsule (CST-IC), corticospinal tract-corona radiata, cingulum hippocampus part (CGH), inferior frontal occipital fasciculus (IFOF), inferior longitudinal fasciculus (ILF), superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF), uncinate fasciculus, superior longitudinal fasciculus temporal part (SLF-temp). The FA value was measured and asymmetry index (AI) was calculated. The independent-sample t test or Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the AI of each tract between the preterm and term groups. Partial correlation was used to analyze the effects of neonatal gestational age and birth anthropometric measures on the asymmetry of neonate at birth. Results:The results of TBSS showed that the left lateralized areas of brain white matter in the neonatal period were mainly located in the corticospinal tract, external capsule and genu of corpus callosum. The right lateralized areas of brain white matter in the neonatal period were mainly located in the optic radiation and splenium of corpus callosum. In both the preterm and term groups, the tracts related to motor (CST-IC) and language function (ILF, SLF, SLF-temp) were left asymmetry. The CGH of the preterm and the term neonates were right asymmetry, and AI was -0.086±0.114 and -0.140±0.108 respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( t=2.27, P=0.026), while the differences of AI in the remaining tracts were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Only gestational age was correlated with the AI of ILF ( r=0.234, P=0.033), SLF ( r=0.259, P=0.018), SLF-temp ( r=0.252, P=0.022), CST-IC ( r=0.235, P=0.033). No significant correlation was found between birthweight, head circumference, body length and AI. Conclusions:The asymmetries of brain white matter already exist in neonates aged less than two weeks. The tracts associated with motor and language function are predominantly left asymmetry.

Objective:To investigate the effect of 125I particles in alveolar echinococcosis with the animal model (nude mice and Sprague Dawley rats). Methods:Twenty 10 weeks nude mice with body weight ranged from 20 to 24 g were divided into three groups. Sixteen nude mice were divided into experimental group ( n=8), puncture group ( n=4) and model group ( n=4). There was no intervention in the model group and only particle puncture needle was used in the puncture group. 125I particles were implanted in the experimental group. 14 male Sprague Dawley rats without specific pathogen, with body weight 280-320 g, 12 weeks old, were used to construct the model of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis. Then the rats were divided into intervention group ( n=10) and control group ( n=4). In the intervention group, 125I particles were pushed into the lesions. The abdomen was only open and closed in the control group. All the mice were sacrificed 45 days after intervention. The tumor size was measured. The activity of protoscolex and pathological changes of Echinococcus multilocularis in each group were observed. Results:At the timepoint of 22nd, 30th and 40th day of intervention, the largest diameter of tumor in nude mice experimental group was (10.7±5.2) mm, (10.9±5.0) mm, (8.5±4.3) mm, smaller than that in puncture group (24.5±4.4) mm, (25.4±4.1) mm, (31.4±2.8) mm and model group (22.5±7.3) mm, (25.0±5.4) mm, (26.7±6.3) mm, with statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). The number and activity of protoscoleces in experimental group were lower than those in puncture group and model group. Under the light microscope, the structure of echinococcus vesiculae and its body in the experimental group was obviously destroyed, and the cuticle and germinal layer of echinococcus vesiculae in the puncture group and the model group were normal, with multiple intact protoscoleces. The pathological changes of Sprague Dawley rats in the intervention group and the control group were basically the same as those in the nude mice model. Conclusion:The 125I particle radiation effect can kill Echinococcus multilocularis protoscoleces and inhibit the growth of alveolar echinococcosis.

Objective:To investigate the prognosis and risk factors for children diagnosed with all types of subaortic stenosis(SAS) who developed recurrent left ventricular outflow tract obstruction after surgical treatment.Methods:The study retrospectively included patients aged 0-18 years old who underwent open heart SAS surgery at Fuwai Hospital from 2016-2019. Children with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy were excluded. Detailed operative notes, medical records and ultrasound information, and follow-ups were extracted. Recurrent SAS was defined as left ventricular outflow tract gradient 30 mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) 1 month after SAS surgical treatment.Results:A total of 137 children were included in this study. The medium age of children at the time of SAS surgery was 4.6 years old(3 months-17.8 years old). After a median follow-up of 4.36 years(3.2-5.7 years), a total of 30 patients developed recurrent LVOTO, with a recurrence rate of 21.9%, and 7(5.1%) underwent a second surgery. Compared to the non-recurrent group, children in the recurrent group were younger at the time of surgery( P=0.0443), had a smaller body surface area( P=0.0485), and a longer length of stay( P=0.0380). In Cox analysis, when only considering preoperative variables, the independent risk factor for LVOTO recurrence were a peak left ventricular outflow tract gradient higher than 50 mmHg( HR=5.25, P=0.001), a BSA less than 0.9( HR=2.5, P=0.023), and a length of SAS 5 mm( HR=2.29, P=0.050). When both preoperative and intraoperative variables were considered, preoperative peak left ventricular outflow tract gradient 50 mmHg( HR=4.91, P=0.002) and peeling from the aortic valve( HR=3.23, P=0.010) were independent risk factors for postoperative recurrence. Conclusion:Recurrent LVOTO after SAS surgical repair is common, and regular postoperative follow-up is crucial to evaluate whether a secondary intervention is required. Regular postoperative follow-up is needed for children at high risk.

Objective To assess the feasibility and safety of percutaneous transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect (ASD) guided by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in outpatients. Methods From December 2016 to June 2018, 50 simple ASD patients underwent TTE-guided transcatheter closure in the outpatient operating room of our hospital (a TTE group) including 22 males and 28 females at the age of 16-48 (27.40±6.95) years. Fifty patients with simple ASD treated with the guidance of conventional fluoroscopy during the same period were treated as a control group, including 22 males and 28 females at the age of 15-48 (28.58±6.96) years. Both groups were re-examined by TTE during follow-up at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year. Results The mean age, body weight, the size of ASD and occluder and success rate had no statistical difference between the two groups (P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the TTE group had significantly lower mean operation time (P<0.01) and less cost (P<0.01) since patients need not to be hospitalized. No related complications were found in the TTE group during follow-up. Conclusion Percutaneous transcatheter closure of ASD guided by TTE appears safe and effective for outpatients, and can significantly reduce the cost.

Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of percutaneous closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) solely under echocardiography guidance. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 200 patients who received the percutaneous closure of PDA under echocardiography guidance in Fuwai Hospital from August 2013 to April 2016. According the different approach, they were divided into 2 groups: a femoral artery approach group (n=143) and a femoral vein approach group (n=57). In the femoral artery approach group, there were 42 males and 101 females aged 3.20±5.63 years. In the femoral vein group, there were 10 males and 47 females aged 7.30±11.36 years. All Patients were treated by percutaneous PDA closure solely under echocardiography guidance. The follow-up was performed at one month after the operation by echocardiography, chest radiograph and electrocardiogram. Results All 200 patients were successfully treated with percutaneous closure of PDA. The patients’ gender, in-hospital stay, rates of occluder detachment were similar between the two groups (P>0.05). Compared with the femoral vein approach group, the femoral artery approach group had a younger age (3.20±5.63 years vs. 7.30±11.36 years, P<0.001), less body weight (14.25±11.54 kg vs. 24.25±19.14 kg, P<0.001) and shorter diameter of PDA (3.06±0.79 mm vs. 5.93±0.68 mm, P<0.001) and PDA occluders (5.43±1.00 mm vs. 12.14±0.54 mm, P<0.001), but had higher hospitalization expenses (32 108.2±3 100.2 yuan vs. 25 120.7±3 534.1 yuan, P<0.001). In the femoral vein approach group, one patient was closed under radiation guidance because guide wires could not pass through PDA. One patient in the femoral artery approach group suffered from occluder detachment at one day after operation and was cured by transthoracic minimally invasive PDA occlusion. There were no complications of occluder detachment, residual shunt, pericardial effusion or left pulmonary stenosis during the follow-up. Conclusion Echocardiography-guided percutaneous PDA closure is safe and effective, while the proper interventional approach should be chosen by the anatomical features of PDA.

Artificial chord is a mature mitral valve repair technique, especially in adult mitral valve repair. It is still challenging to repair mitral valve in children with artificial chords because the quality of mitral valve is soft and immature. There are some differences in the methods of suture, the choice of suture size and the number of artificial chords. Although the artificial chords could not grow naturally, we found through the long-term research that most children did not have mitral valve restriction or even chords rupture due to itself can compensate through the growth of the flap and papillary muscle. This article summarizes the recent research progress on the treatment of mitral valve insufficiency in children with artificial chords, providing reference for clinical treatment.
