Background Coal workers are inclined to report multi-site work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) due to their specific working environment and extensive exposure to occupational hazards, which seriously affect the physical and mental health of coal workers. objective To investigate the prevalence of multi-site WMSDs among workers in coal mining enterprises in Xinjiang, and analyze the related factors influencing multi-site WMSDs. Methods Using stratified cluster random sampling method, Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire, Job Burnout Questionnaire, and Brief Occupational Stress Questionnaire were distributed in six Xinjiang coal mining enterprises to collect data on general information, prevalence of WMSDs in the past year, work-related information, job burnout, and occupational stress among coal miners with a working experience ≥ 1 year. A multiple logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of multi-site WMSDs. Results A total of 1730 questionnaires were distributed in this survey, 1448 valid questionnaires were recovered, and the valid recovery rate was 83.7%. Among the 1448 coal miners, 93.2% were males and 6.8% were females; 39.2% were aged ≤ 35 years, 31.1% were aged 35-45 years, and 29.6% were aged > 45 years; 58.4% reported ≤ 10 years of working experience, 20.0% reported 10-20 years, and 21.6% reported > 20 years. The total prevalence rate of WMSDs in the coal miners was 75.6% (1095/1448), the prevalence rate of multi-site WMSDs was 58.4% (846/1448), and the prevalence rate of one-site WMSDs was 17.2% (249/1448). The results of multiple logistic regression analysis showed that working experience > 20 years (OR=2.245, 95%CI: 1.655-3.045), severe burnout (OR=2.644, 95%CI: 1.549-4.516), and multiple repetitive operations per minute very often (OR=2.038, 95%CI: 1.339-3.101), often bending at larger angles (OR=1.467, 95%CI: 1.111-1.938), long-time bending the neck forward (OR=1.671, 95%CI: 1.294-2.159), and slipping or falling down (OR=2.459, 95%CI: 1.908-3.168) were positively correlated with multi-site WMSDs; sufficient rest time (OR=0.718, 95%CI: 0.565-0.913) was negatively correlated with multi-site WMSDs. Conclusion Multi-site WMSDs is common among workers in coal mining enterprises, and the prevalence rate of multi-site WMSDs is higher than that of one-site WMSDs. Working experience, job burnout, frequent multiple repetitive operations per minute, often bending at larger angles, long-time bending the neck forward, slipping or falling down, and sufficient rest time are influencing factors of multi-site WMSDs in coal workers.

Objective Thermal injury causes pulmonary edema, which may lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome, sepsis, multiorgan failure and even death. The article aimed to study the mechanism of curcumin pretreatment on inflammatory factors in lung tissues and serum endotoxin of rats with dry-heat environment.Methods A total of 50 SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups (n=10): normal control group, dry heat control group, low concentraion group (50mg/kg curcumin pretreatment group), middle concentraion group (100mg/kg curcumin pretreatment group), and high concentration group (200mg/kg curcumin pretreatment group). Rats in normal control group and dry heat control group were given normal saline by gavage, while rats in 3 curcumin pretreatment groups were given curcumin of different concentrations (50 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg) by gavage once a day for 7 consecutive days. At 8d, all the other 4 groups except normal control group were transferred to the climate cabin (The Simulated Climate Cabin for Special Environment of Northwest of China) with the condition of (41±0.5)℃, (10±1)% relative humidity.The rats were put in the dry-heat environment for 150min, then they were anaesthetized and sacrificed at 150min to collect the blood, lung tissues for further analysis. Observation was made on the pathological changes of lung tissues of rats in each group and the changes of inflammatory factors such as IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and LPS.Results Compared with dry heat control group, the concentrations of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and LPS in normal control group, curcumin pretreatment groups with low concentration, middle concentration and high concentration were significantly higher(P<0.01). The concentrations of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and LPS in curcumin pretreatment group with low concentration were significantly lower than those curcumin pretreatment groups with middle concentration and high concentration(P<0.05). Compared with curcumin pretreatment group with middle concentration, LPS concentration of curcumin pretreatment group with high concentration decreased significantly (P<0.01). Pearson correlation analysis showed that there was a positive correlation between the plasma of LPS and inflammatory cytokines of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in lung tissues (correlation coefficient r=0.866, r=0.900, r=0.885, P=0.000).Conclusion Curcumin inhibits bacterial endotoxin in blood, reduces the expression of inflammatory factors, and plays an important role in alleviating secondary multiple organ damage, which means curcumin pretreatment can relieve lung damage caused by heatstroke and reduce the mortality of heatstroke.

Objective To analysis and compare the content differences of three effective components of taxanes of Taxus madia Rehd. from five different habitats and growth years by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Methods The mixed liquor of CH3OH and CHCl3 was used for the ultrasonic extraction of 10-deacetyl-bacratin III (10-DAB III), cephalomannine and taxol before being dissolved by CH3OH to obtain sample solution. By HPLC, the contents of three effective components were performed and compared. Results There were extremely significantly differences (P < 0.01) among the content of three effective components of taxanes of Taxus madia Rehd. from different habitats and growth years. Three different habitats and growth years of 10-DAB III, cephalomannine, taxol, and taxanes that have relative higher total content were HK4 > SM3 > SM2, ZL3 > HK4 > ZL4, ZL3 > SM2 > HK4, HK4 > ZL3 > ZL6, respectively. Except for the contents of 10-DAB III and cephalomannine, there were significant positive correlations among the contents of other components (P < 0.01). The contents of taxol would rise or decline when the total contents of three kinds of taxanes rised or declined among different habitats and growth years. The clustering analysis results showed that the contents of taxol have certain peculiarity. In Fuzhou of Fujian, while the total contents of three kinds of taxanes were different from others in Kaifen of Henan. Conclusion Habitants and growth years have a significant impact on the contents change of three effective components of taxanes from Taxus madia Rehd.. Therefore, regulation and control of biosynthetic pathway by choosing habitat conditions and harvest years should be considered, in order to obtain more crude drug of taxol in T. madia.

ObjectiveTo obtain the prevalence of sarcopenia in middle-aged and elderly people in Urumqi based on the 2020 updated based on the 2020 updated Consensus Report 2019 of Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS2019), and to further explore the association between sarcopenia and metabolic syndrome (MS). MethodsA total of 1 438 middle-aged and elderly people (aged≥50 years) in Urumqi from July 2018 to January 2019 were selected as the research subjects. Data were collected by questionnaire survey, physical examination and laboratory test. Skeletal muscle mass,grip strength and 4 m walking speed were used to represent muscle mass, muscle strength and body function, respectively. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) was used to measure human body components. Based on the diagnostic criteria of sarcopenia recommended by AWGS2019, the prevalence of sarcopenia in people over 50 years old was obtained. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to explore the correlation between sarcopenia and MS in middle-aged and elderly people of different genders. ResultsThere were 194 patients with sarcopenia, with a prevalence of 13.49%. The prevalence was 15.56% in males and 12.12% in females. There was no significant difference in the prevalence of MS between male sarcopenia group (40.45%) and non-sarcopenia group (38.92%), while the prevalence of MS in female sarcopenia group (39.04%) was higher than that in non-sarcopenia group (27.56%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that sarcopenia was a related factor of MS. Compared with non-sarcopenia, the risk of MS in male sarcopenia group was higher (OR=2.11,95%CI: 1.15‒3.88 ). ConclusionSarcopenia increases the risk of MS in middle-aged and elderly people, with a greater risk in men. Fully understanding of sarcopenia is helpful to early identify high-risk groups of MS and prevent the occurrence of MS.
