Objective To analyze the incidence of lens opacity in radiation workers. Methods A total of 46 733 radiation on-the-job workers who underwent occupational medical examinations from 2017 to 2023 were selected as the radiation group, and 19 944 non-ionizing radiation exposed workers in same period were selected as the control group using a convenient sampling method. The lens opacity of workers was compared between these two groups. Results The incidence of lens opacity in workers of the radiation group was higher than that in the control group (6.27% vs 3.95%, P<0.01). The annual incidence of lens opacity among female radiation workers was higher than that of male workers in 2017 and 2021 to 2023(9.36% vs 6.76%, 8.06% vs 6.58%, 8.12% vs 6.96%, 5.32% vs 4.37%, all P<0.05). In 2017 and 2018, the incidence of lens opacity in workers of radiation group increased with age (all P<0.01). From 2019 to 2023, the annual incidence of lens opacity in the radiation group increased with both age and length of radiation work experience (all P<0.01). In 2017, 2019, 2020, and 2022, the incidence of lens opacity was higher among the medical group compared with other groups (all P<0.05). Conclusion There is a dose-effect relationship between the incidence of lens opacity and both age and length of service in radiation among radiation workers. The incidence of lens opacity is relatively higher among female workers and those engaged in medical radiation.

Objective:To understand the capacity building needs on social organizations providing HIV prevention and treatment services for female sex workers (FSW).Methods:Questionnaires and interview were conducted with the heads of social organizations participating in China AIDS Fund for Non-Governmental Organizations (CAFNGO) project 2017-2018. Data from the CAFNGO's information system were compiled and analyzed using Excel 2016 and SPSS 25.0 software. The distribution of social organizations, availability of funds, and social organizations' needs for capacity building were analyzed.Results:Nationwide, 184 social organizations were involved in project '2017-2018 CAFNGO's FSW field work'. Out of which, 156 answers were valid. Social organizations that participated in the implementation of fund projects were mainly concentrated in the western region, accounting for 44.0% (81/184), with Sichuan, Guangxi, and Yunnan being the majority. However, the eastern part received the most financial support. Social organizations expressed the highest demand for project data collection and analysis, accounting for 68.6% (107/156). Items on risk analysis, response, and quality control project ranked the second, accounting for 64.1% (100/156). Results showed that statistically significant differences were seen on capacity building needs among social organization leaders with different levels of training on management of planning and finance of the project ( χ 2=5.78 ,P=0.016; χ 2=8.99, P=0.003). Conclusions:Currently, the number of social organizations and the related fund provision concerning HIV prevention and control among FSWs were not consistent in China. Thus, it is necessary to encourage, guide, and support the development of social organizations and satisfy social organizations' needs on capacity-building and planning.

Objective Using olfactory event related potentials(OERP) and magnetic resonance to evaluate olfactory function in patients with posttraumatic anosmia. Methods Twenty four patients with posttraumatic anosmia were reviewed retrospectively. A thorough medical history,physical examination,nasal endoscopy,T&T olfactory testing,olfactory event-related potentials,brain computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance image of olfactory pathway were performed in all patients. Results Subjective olfactory testing indicated 20 of 24 patients were birhinal anosmia. 2 with right nostril anosmia and left impairment,2 with left anosmia and right normal. No OERP were obtained in 24(20 were birhinal,4 was monorhinal),except 4 cases with single nostril. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed the injures to the olfactory bulbs(100%),rectus gyrus(91.7%),orbital gyrus(67%),olfactory tracts(8%) and temporal lobes(8%). Conclusions OERP can objectively evaluate posttraumatic olfactory function,and magnetic resonance of olfactory pathway can precisely identify the location and extent of injures.

Aim To investigate the protective effect of immunomodulating peptide(PGPIPN) on the acute al-coholic liver injury in mice. Methods Kunming mice were randomly divided into control group, model group,glutataione(GSH) group, PGPIPN low dose group, PGPIPN moderate and high dose groups. The mice were treated with different doses of PGPIPN or GSH for two weeks except control group and model group. The acute alcoholic liver injury model was in-duced by gavage with 56° alcohol for three days. The indices including the activities of AST,ALT in serum, and the contents of TNF-α, MDA, SOD and GSH-Px in liver were examined. Liver histopathological changes were examined by HE staining. Results Compared with control group,the levels of serum ALT,AST and the contents of TNF-α, MDA significantly increased, while the contents of SOD and GSH-Px significantly de-creased in model group. There was hepatocyte apopto-sis and inflammatory cell infiltration in liver tissues. Compared with model group, the activities of serum ALT, AST and the contents of TNF-α, MDA were re-markably reduced in PGPIPN high dose group. The contents of SOD and GSH-Px significantly increased in PGPIPN high dose group. PGPIPN could alleviate the injury of liver. Conclusion PGPIPN has certain pro-tective effect on acute alcoholic liver injury of mice, providing a theoretical guidance.
