OBJECTIVEThrough comparative study on pulmonary function damage of coke oven workers exposed to coke oven emissions with the same group before and after five years, and further explore the relationship between the coke oven emissions and injury in pulmonary function of coke oven worker.

METHODSSelect a coking plant in Shanxi 165 coke oven workers (exposed group) and 52 auxiliary workers (control group) for the study, using a uniform questionnaire to collect workers' personal information. Fixed workplace air samples collected periodically. Air samples of benzo (a) pyrene concentrations was measured by high pressure liquid chromatograph. Pulmonary function of research object was measured by portable spirometer respectively in 2009 and 2013, and comparative analysis on it.

RESULTSThe concentration of B(a)P was no significant difference in the same area between 5 years in 2009-2013. Compared with 2009, 2013 control workers lung function index and the abnormal rate had no significant difference (P > 0.05). But FVC%, FEV1.0%, MVV%, VC% and FEF25% of exposed workers in 2013 was significantly lower than in 2009, FVC%, FEV1.0%, VC% and FEF25% pulmonary dysfunction rate in 2013 was also significantly higher than in 2009, difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Workers emerging pulmonary function abnormalities mainly distributed in furnace roof and side. furnace roof group FVC%, FEV1.0%, VC% additional abnormal number (rate) was significantly higher than furnace floor and the control group (P < 0.05), and furnace side groop was significantly higher than the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that after 5 years FVC%, FEV1% and VC% of abnormal lung function emerging adjusted OR of furnace roof workers were 7.939, 5.966 and 4.956. For abnormal of FVC%, FEV1%, VC% and MVV%, the contacting coke seniority is a risk factor. There is a positive interaction between contacting coke seniority and furnace roof (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONCoke oven workers lung function damage associated with exposureing to coke oven emissions, coke oven emissions exposure level and exposure time are the main factors of coke oven workers in lung function damage, there is a positive interaction between the two factors.

Objective:To evaluate the risk factors of residual tumor after thermal ablation in patients with small hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods:This was a retrospective study recruiting 107 patients diagnosed as single hepatocellular carcinoma with maximum diameter ≤3 cm from December 2009 to August 2015 in National Cancer Center. The cohort enrolled 81 males and 26 females, including 83 patients younger than 70 years old. All patients were treated with radiofrequency ablation or microwave ablation, and evaluated by CT or MRI after 4-6 weeks compared with baseline data. Potentially related factors were analyzed such as patients′ characteristics, tumor location and adjacent, ablation pattern, hepatitis B/C infection. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted for the independence of risk factors.Results:Six patients (5.6%) with residual tumor was detected in the whole population of 101 cases. Univariate analysis suggested that tumor adjacent to vascular structure, poor differentiation, AFP≥200 μg/L were the risk factors of residue disease (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression suggested that pathological type of poorly differentiated tumor was the only independent risk factor ( HR=2.26,95% CI 0.25-20.50, P=0.030). Conclusions:Poorly differentiated pathology is an independent predictive factor for residual disease in small hepatocellular carcinoma after thermal ablation. Such patients should be routinely followed up after operation.

Objective:To investigate the clinical manifestations and characteristics of children infected with 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) in Wuhan City.Methods:The clinical data of 146 children diagnosed with 2019 novel coronavirus infection by nasopharyngeal swab real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction in Wuhan Children′s Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from January 21 to February 24, 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The basic data, clinical symptoms, laboratory examinations, pulmonary imaging, clinical classification, treatment medication and the prognosis of disease were included for analysis.Results:Among the 146 cases, 86 (58.9%) were males and 60 (41.1%) were females, with a median age of 6 years and 10 months.Three cases (2.1%) had a history of underlying diseases, 127 cases (87.0%) had a clear history of infected family clusters, and two cases (1.4%) had a history of exposure with Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in Wuhan City. The clinical classifications included 20 asymptomatic cases (13.7%), 26 mild cases (17.8%), 99 ordinary cases (67.8%), and one critical case (0.7%). A total of 146 patients were tested positive for nasopharyngeal swabs by 2019-nCoV nucleic acid. Among them, 10 patients had a negative nasopharyngeal swab nucleic acid test before diagnosis, and one of them had a negative nasopharyngeal swab nucleic acid test for two consecutive times. The initial symptoms were mainly fever (59 cases, 40.4%) and cough (52 cases, 35.6%). Thirteen cases (8.9%) showed decreased leukocyte counts and three cases (2.1%) showed decreased lymphocyte counts. In addition, aspartate aminotransferase increased in 23 cases (15.8%), serum creatinine increased in seven cases (4.8%), lactic acid dehydrogenase increased in 26 cases (17.8%), and C reactive protein increased in 38 cases (26.0%). Fifty-nine cases (40.4%) were tested positive for IgM antibody to Mycoplasma pneumoniae. One hundred cases (68.5%) were abnormal in pulmonary imaging and 50 cases (34.2%) presented with multiple frosted glass shadows. All the 146 children were given general treatment, and the antiviral treatment was mainly interferon or interferon combined with oral medication. As of February 24, 2020, 72 cases (49.3%) were discharged from the hospital after reaching the de-isolation standard, with a median length of stay of 10 days, and there was no death case.Conclusions:Children with 2019-nCoV infection in Wuhan City are mainly caused by family aggregation. The clinical classification is mainly ordinary type, and the laboratory examination has no specificity. Specimens could be collected from multiple repeatable sites for 2019-nCoV nucleic acid test in suspected cases. Chest computed tomography has certain value for the diagnosis of children with 2019-nCoV infection. The recent prognosis of the patients is good with general treatment.

Objective:To explore the effect of the 3D printed model assisted network teaching of neurosurgery.Methods:Seventy-six probation students were divided into: 3D printed model assisted online course teaching group (test group) and traditional teaching group (control group). After 1-month online teaching, quantitative assessment and satisfaction survey were carried out. SPSS 17.0 was used for statistical analysis of variance.Results:The department graduation test (theory and operation) scores of students in the test group were (86.7±7.4) points, which was significantly higher than those in the control group (78.2±8.2) points ( t=5.56, P<0.01). The teaching satisfaction survey showed that the test group had significantly higher scores in self-evaluation of spatial imagination ( t=3.81, P<0.01), deepening understanding of neuroanatomy ( t=5.29, P<0.01), and increasing interest in clinical learning ( t=5.12, P<0.01) than those of the control group. Conclusion:Compared with the conventional online teaching methods, 3D printed model assisted online teaching helps to improve teaching quality and students' satisfaction.

Objective:To investigate the strategy of using tissue flaps for repairing scalp defects with exposed skull wounds.Methods:This study was a retrospective observational study. From January 2019 to December 2023, 18 patients (13 males and 5 females, aged 17-59 years) with different scalp defect combined with skull exposure area (hereafter referred to as scalp defect area) who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to Guangzhou Red Cross Hospital of Jinan University. After debridement, the scalp defect area was 1 cm×1 cm to 25 cm×25 cm. For patients with scalp defect area < 9 cm 2 and good local conditions of the surrounding scalp, local flaps with area of 2 cm×2 cm-5 cm×5 cm were used for wound repair. The wound in the donor site of the flap was pulled together and sutured. If the suture tension was large, the skin graft from the head was taken and transplanted for wound repair. For patients with scalp defect area > 9 cm 2 and ≤1/4 of the total scalp area, expanded flaps with area of 5 cm×3 cm-12 cm×12 cm were used for wound repair. The wound in the donor site of the flap was pulled together and sutured directly. For patients with scalp defect area >1/4 and ≤1/2 of the total scalp area, free transplantation of anterolateral thigh flaps with area of 9 cm×7 cm-29 cm×14 cm were used for wound repair. The wound in the donor site of the flap was sutured in layers, and the skin graft from the ipsilateral thigh was transplanted for repair if the tension was large. For patients with scalp defect area >1/2 of the total scalp area, free greater omental flap (28 cm×23 cm-29 cm×26 cm in area) transplantation and thigh skin graft were used for wound repair. The abdominal incision caused by cutting the greater omental flap was sutured directly. The types of tissue flaps were recorded during operation. After operation, the survival of tissue flaps and skin graft in the recipient sites was observed, and the wound healing of flap donor sites/abdominal incision caused by cutting the greater omental flap was observed. During follow up, the survival of tissue flaps and the scar hyperplasia of flap donor site/abdominal incision caused by cutting the greater omental flap were observed. At the last follow-up, the skull necrosis was evaluated by computed tomography scan. Results:For the scalp defect with exposed skull wounds in this group of cases, 4 cases were repaired with local flaps, of which 2 cases were repaired with V-Y advancement flaps, and 2 cases were repaired with local double-pedicle vault stone flaps. The flaps survived completely after operation. Five cases were repaired with expanded flaps, of which 1 patient was implanted with 2 skin and soft tissue expanders, and 4 patients were implanted with 1 skin and soft tissue expander. The expanded flaps survived completely after operation. Seven cases were repaired with free transplantation of anterolateral thigh flaps. After operation, the flap in 6 cases survived, and the distal end of the flap was necrotic in 1 case, and the wound healed well after debridement and suture. Two cases were repaired with free transplantation of greater omental flaps and thigh skin graft, and the greater omental flap and skin graft in the recipient site survived well after operation. After operation, the wound of flap donor site/abdominal incision caused by cutting the greater omental flap healed well. During follow-up, all tissue flaps survived well without skull exposure; the scar hyperplasia of flap donor site/abdominal incision caused by cutting the greater omental flap was not obvious. At the last follow-up, computed tomography scan showed that all patients had no skull necrosis.Conclusions:According to the size of scalp defect, local flap, expanded flap, free anterolateral thigh flap, and free greater omental flap+skin graft are selected successively from small to large to repair the wounds, and the effect is good, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
