Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features and prognosis of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) co-existent with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT).Methods:Seven cases of MTC co-existent with HT were collected from Fujian Cancer Hospital between Jan 2007 and May 2021. Its clinicopathological features were analyzed.Results:All patients were adult female with a median age of 49 years, and 6 of them were unilateral MTC. The tumor diameter ranged from 0.4 to 7.0 cm. The thyroid tissue surrounding the tumor showed HT. The follow-up time was 16 to 152 months, with a median time of 61 months, 5 patients (tumor diameter <1 cm) were biochemically cured, 1 patient (tumor diameter >1 cm) was anatomically cured. The another patient died due to tumor progression 30 months after surgery, the tumor cells in which were highly atypia and more mitoses (5~8/10HPF) necrosis and vascular invasion were also observed.Conclusion:MTC with HT are mostly sporadic cases, and most of them have a fair prognosis.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of daily use of a test emollient combined with topical glucocorticoids applied at the weekend for delaying the recurrence of atopic dermatitis (AD) in children during the maintenance period.Methods:A randomized, blank-controlled, multicenter clinical study was conducted in children with moderate AD from Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University, Children′s Hospital of Chongqing Medical University and Shenzhen Children′s Hospital from March 2021 to February 2022. A total of 127 children aged 0 - 12 years with moderate AD were treated with topical glucocorticoids combined with emollients during the run-in period, 112 out of them achieved the investigator′s global assessment (IGA) score ≤ 1 point, and then the 112 patients were randomly divided into a test group (56 cases) and a control group (56 cases) at a ratio of 1∶1. Patients in the test group received treatment with a test emollient twice a day in combination with topical glucocorticoids applied at the weekend, and those in the control group were only treated with topical glucocorticoids at the weekend. Patients in the two groups were followed up at baseline, week 2 (± 3 d), week 4 (± 5 d), and week 12 (±7 d), as well as at the time of AD relapse, and the effect of the test emollient on the remission rate of AD in children during the maintenance period was evaluated, so were its effects on the dosage of topical glucocorticoids, pruritus, sleep, and skin pH. The occurrence of treatment-related adverse events was evaluated and recorded at the same time. Study endpoints were defined as AD relapse during the maintenance period, end of 12-week follow-up, or occurrence of serious adverse events. Comparisons of efficacy indicators between groups were conducted by using chi-square test, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, Satterthwaite t′ test and Mann-Whitney U test. Results:In the full-analysis set, 45 (80.36%) patients with AD maintained remission in the test group (56 cases) and 30 (53.57%) in the control group (56 cases), and the remission rate difference between the two groups was 26.79% (95% confidence interval [ CI]: 10.09%, 43.49%; χ2 = 9.11, P = 0.003) ; the 12-week follow-up during the maintenance period showed that the time to first relapse was 75.05 ± 25.07 days in the test group, which was significantly longer than that in the control group (49.55 ± 33.92 days, t′ = 4.52, P < 0.001). At the study endpoint, the test group showed significantly decreased AD disease severity score (eczema area and severity index [EASI] score: 0.00 [0.00, 1.20] points vs. 0.60 [0.00, 4.00] points), pruritus visual analog scale (VAS) score (0.00 [0.00, 2.00] points vs. 2. 00 [0.00, 10.00] points), and sleep VAS score (0.00 [0.00, 0.00] points vs. 1.00 [0.00, 4.00] points) compared with the control group ( Z = -2.77, 2.43, 3.48, P = 0.006, = 0.015, < 0.001, respectively), while there was no significant difference in the pH value at the lesional sites between the test group and control group ( t = 0.97, P = 0.335). For the group aged 0 - 2 years, the average daily glucocorticoid dosage at the weekend in AD children during the maintenance period was significantly lower in the test group than in the control group ( Z = -1.97, P = 0.049) ; for the group aged >2 - 12 years, there was no significant difference in the average daily glucocorticoid dosage at the weekend between the two groups ( Z = -0.25, P = 0.802). During the study period, no significant difference was observed in the incidence of treatment-related adverse events between the test group (2/56, 3.57%) and control group (3/56, 5.36%; P = 1.000), and no serious adverse events occurred. Conclusion:Compared with the weekend treatment with topical glucocorticoids alone, the daily use of the test emollient combined with topical glucocorticoids at the weekend could markedly improve the remission rate of AD, prolong the time to relapse, and reduce the disease severity at relapse in children with AD during the maintenance period, which provides a new option for maintenance treatment of children with AD.

Background Injury is a major public health issue, and studying the correlation between temperature and injury in the context of climate change is of great significance for injury prevention and control. Objective To analyze the association between temperature and the volume of emergency medical service response due to injury in Chengdu. Methods Using a retrospective ecological study design, weather data in Chengdu were collected from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2023 from Chengdu Meteorological Office, including daily average temperature, daily average relative humidity, average wind speed, average pressure, sunshine, and rainfall. Emergency medical service data were collected from an emergency medical service center in Chengdu. A distributional lag non-linear model was conducted to calculate the association between temperature and volume of emergency medical service response due to injury, and gender- and age-stratified analyses were followed to identify susceptible groups. Results Overall 219685 incidents of emergency medical service dispatching due to injury were collected during the study period. The top three injury causes were traffic accident (90765, 41.32%), poisoning (44101, 20.07%), and falling (44046, 20.05%). When daily average temperature exceeded 17.9 ℃, as the temperature rised, the volume of emergency medical service response for injury increased. In terms of the single-day lag effect, the risk of emergency medical service response for injury elevated on lag1 and persisted until lag6, the maximum daily effectwas observed on lag2, lag3 and lag4, and their relative risks associated with every 1℃ higher above 17.9 ℃ were both 1.08 times, 95%CIs were (1.03, 1.14), (1.04, 1.12), and (1.04, 1.16) respectively. Both men and women were susceptible to temperature, but on the same lag day, the men's RR value was higher than the women's. There was no statistical difference in the lag effect of temperature on the 0-17 age group; the lag effect on the 18-44 age group appeared on lag1, and lasted to lag6; that for the 45-64 age group appeared on lag1, and lasted to lag4; that for the 65 age group and over was only on lag 3 (RR: 1.05, 95%CI: 1.00, 1.10). Conclusion As the temperature rises, the volume of emergency medical service response due to injury is increased in Chengdu. In particular, the associated impact is significant on males and people aged 18-44 years old.

Postural load,mental workload and length of service had a direct effect on neck WMSDs of porters( path coefficients were 0. 405,0. 166,0. 296,P < 0. 05),and mental workload also had an indirect effect on neck WMSDs through postural load( path coefficient was 0. 103,P < 0. 01).CONCLUSION: Posture load,mental workload and length of service are risk factors of neck WMSDs in airport porters.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the correlation of mental workload and prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders musculoskeletal disorders( WMSDs) in railway vehicle manufacturing workers.METHODS: A total of 362 male workers in assembling and welding workshop from a railway vehicle manufacturing enterprise were selected as study subjects by cluster sampling method.The level of mental workload and prevalence of WMSDs were investigated using a revised Subjective Workload Assessment Technique and China Musculoskeletal Questionnaire.RESULTS: The median score of mental workload was 67 and the prevalence rate of WMSDs was 56.9%.The multivariate logistic regression analysis results indicated that the higher the mental workload of railway vehicle manufacturers,the higher their risk for WMSDs after excluding the influence of confounding factors( P < 0.05).Workers in welding work showed a higher risk than those in assembling work( P < 0.01).Workers with fast work rhythm showed higher risk of WMSDs than those with regular working rhythm( P < 0.01).Workers with comfortable working environment and temperature showed lower risk of WMSDs than those with uncomfortable working environment and temperature( P < 0.01).CONCLUSION: The mental workload can increase the risk of WMSDs,with a dose-effect relationship in railway vehicle manufacturing workers.The type of work,work frequency and the temperature in working environment are also influencing factors of WMSDs.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the prevalence and influencing factors of multisite work-related musculoskeletal disorders(WMSDs) of workers in a railway vehicle manufacturing enterprise. METHODS: A total of 366 male workers in the assembly and riveting workshop of a railway vehicle manufacturing enterprise were selected as the research subjects using the cluster sampling method. The Chinese Musculoskeletal Questionnaire was used to investigate the prevalence of multiple sites of WMSDs. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors. RESULTS: The total prevalence of WMSDs was 56.3%(206/366). The prevalence of WMSDs in all parts from high to low was as follows: lower back(35.5%), hand and wrist(27.6%), neck(23.2%), shoulder(21.0%), knee(19.9%), upper back(18.6%), hip and leg(18.0%), ankle/foot(15.8%) and elbow(12.3%)(P<0.01). The total prevalence of multisite WMSDs was 38.0%(139/366). The prevalence of WMSDs in different numbers of parts from high to low was as follows: 6 or more parts(12.0%), 2 parts(10.7%), 3 parts(6.6%), 5 parts(5.5%) and 4 parts(3.3%)(P<0.01). Multiple logistic regression analysis results showed that the overweight and obese workers had higher risk of multi site WMSDs than those with normal body mass index(P<0.05).Those with long-term low heads, frequent bending, long bending of the elbows, and higher frequency of work requirements, and less frequently communicated with the leader had higher risk of multi site WMSDs(P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The prevalence of multisite WMSDs in railway vehicle manufacturing enterprise is relatively high. The influencing factors include individual factors, adverse ergonomic factors and psychosocial factors.

OBJECTIVE To provide reference for quality control of Gentiana rhodantha. METHODS Taking 52 batches of G. rhodantha as subject， ultra-high performance liquid chromatography （UPLC） fingerprint was adopted. The similarity of 52 batches of medicinal materials samples was evaluated by the Similarity Evaluation System for Chromatographic Fingerprints of Traditional Chinese Medicine （2004A edition）； the content of mangiferin was determined； chemometric analyses [cluster analysis， principal component analysis （PCA） and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis （OPLS-DA）] were performed. RESULTS UPLC fingerprints of 52 batches of G. rhodantha were established， 17 common peaks were identified， and 6 of them were identified， which were loganic acid （peak 1）， neomangiferin （peak 3）， swertiamarin （peak 5）， dangyin （peak 6）， mangiferin （peak 7） and isoorientin （peak 9）. The similarities of 52 batches of medicinal materials samples were all greater than 0.9； cluster analysis showed that S1-S46， S48-S52 clustered into one class， and S47 alone； PCA results showed that the cumulative variance contribution rate of the first six principal components was 82.928%； OPLS-DA results showed that the corresponding components of swertiamarin， mangiferin and chemical composition represented by peak 4， 14， 15， 16 were the main iconic components affecting the quality differences of G. rhodantha medicinal materials. The contents of mangiferin in 52 batches of medicinal material samples ranged from 18.2 to 101.0 mg/g， mostly in accordance with 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia.
