As a safety culture placed between a culture of punishment and that of exemption, just culture can effectively improve the reporting rate of medical adverse events, promote medical staff to learn from events, and continuously improve patient safety management. The authors searched for literature on the study of just culture in medical institutions both domestically and internationally, including such databases as CNKI, Wanfang Data, and PubMed from 2001 to January 2023. They reviewed the concept of just culture and its connotation in the field of patient safety management, as well as the current research status of just culture in medical institutions both domestically and internationally. On such basis, they proposed for the construction of just culture in medical institutions in China, for reference in the construction and evaluation of a just culture in such institutions.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological distribution of new occupational pneumoconiosis (hereinafter referred to as "pneumoconiosis") in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from 2013 to 2022. Methods Data of newly diagnosed pneumoconiosis cases reported in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from 2013 to 2022 were collected, and epidemiological characteristics were analyzed using descriptive analysis method. Results A total of 972 newly diagnosed pneumoconiosis cases were reported in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from 2013 to 2022. Except for mica pneumoconiosis, 12 other types of pneumoconiosis were reported. Most of the cases were males, accounting for 97.0%. The diagnosis age of the cases of 40-<60 years old accounted for 77.4%, and the dust exposure age<30 years of the cases accounted for 96.4%. Silicosis was the most common type of pneumoconiosis, followed by coal workers' pneumoconiosis, accounting for 64.6% and 27.9%, respectively. The cases of stage Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ pneumoconiosis accounted for 77.7%, 14.9% and 7.4%, respectively. The regional distribution was mostly in Hechi City, accounting for 51.9%. Industry distribution was more common in non-ferrous metal mining, coal mining and washing industry, accounting for 64.9% in total. Most cases were reported in private enterprises and small to medium-sized enterprises, accounting for 53.7% and 76.6% respectively. The most common occupations were coal miners and drillers, accounting for 47.7% in total. Conclusion Newly diagnosed pneumoconiosis cases in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region show certain clustering characteristics in terms of disease type, region, enterprise characteristics, and occupation distribution. The prevention and treatment of pneumoconiosis in small and medium-sized private enterprises in key areas and key industries should be strengthened, especially for workers over 40 years old and with less than 30 years of dust exposure.

Objective To evaluate the clinical outcomes of hemodialysis patients after superficial femoral artery - superficial femoral vein arteriovenous graft (AVG). Methods Hemodialysis patients with mid - thigh superficial femoral artery - superficial femoral vein AVG from August 2015 to March 2018 in department of vascular surgery, Longhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were enrolled. Their clinical outcomes and complications after operation were analyzed retrospectively. Patency rates were measured by Kaplan - Meier survival curve. Results A total of 18 cases were enrolled. The success rate of the operation was 100%without complication. Follow - up time was (22.00 ± 11.77) months with 100% follow - up rate. The 6 months -, 12 months -, 24 months - primary patency rates were 83.3%±8.8%, 48.5%±12.1%, 24.2%± 13.5%, respectively; secondly patency rates were 100.0%, 100.0%, 87.5%±11.7%. There were 1 case of seroma, 1 case of puncture site infection, 11 cases of stenosis and 5 cases thrombosis during follow-up, while no heart failure, ischemia or pseudoaneurysm. Conclusion Mid - thigh AVG has low infection rate and high patency rate, so it can be as the first choice for the lower extremity AVG in hemodialysis patients.

Objective: To investigate the correlation between peripheral blood CD4
T lymphocyte subsets and delayed graft function (DGF) and short-term prognosis in kidney transplant recipients, so as to help optimize preoperative assessment for kidney transplantation and provide insights into the immune mechanisms of DGF. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 103 kidney transplant recipients at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University during Jun.2022 and Oct.2023. A total of 61 recipients were finally included in this study, and were categorized into two groups based on postoperative renal function recovery:the DGF group (n=20) and the immediate graft function (IGF) group (n=41).Flow cytometry was used to detect the proportions and absolute counts of various CD4
T lymphocyte subsets in the peripheral blood on postoperative day 7.The clinical data and peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets between the two groups were compared.For the subsets that exhibited significant differences, the correlation between their proportions and absolute counts and serum creatinine (Scr) levels on postoperative day 7 was further analyzed in the DGF group.Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted, and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated to evaluate the predictive performance of the most strongly correlated CD4
T lymphocyte subset in terms of proportion and absolute count for short-term renal function. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in the proportions and absolute counts of Th1, Th2, Th17, and regulatory T cells (Treg) between the DGF and IGF groups (P>0.05).The proportions and absolute counts of follicular helper T cells (Tfh) and PD-1
Tfh cells were significantly higher in the DGF group than in the IGF group (P<0.000 1). The Scr levels at 1 month and 1 year postoperatively were significantly higher in the DGF group than in the IGF group (P<0.01), while the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was significantly lower in the DGF group compared with the IGF group (P<0.01, P=0.02).Spearman correlation analysis showed that the proportions and absolute counts of Tfh and PD-1
Tfh cell subsets were positively correlated with the Scr level on post-operative day 7 in the DGF group (P<0.05).The ROC curve demonstrated that the AUC for the proportion of PD-1
Tfh cells in predicting Scr and eGFR at 1 month after surgery was 0.73(95%CI:0.61-0.86) and 0.75 (95%CI:0.62-0.88), respectively.Additionally, the AUC for predicting Scr and eGFR at 1 year was 0.72(95%CI:0.59-0.86) and 0.70(95%CI:0.58-0.83), respectively. Conclusion: The increase in the proportions and absolute counts of Tfh and PD-1
Tfh cells is associated with postoperative DGF of renal transplant recipients, and the proportion of PD-1
Tfh cells may help predict the short-term renal function of recipients.

Primary bile acids were reported to augment secretion of chemokine (C‒X‒C motif) ligand 16 (CXCL16) from liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) and trigger natural killer T (NKT) cell-based immunotherapy for liver cancer. However, abundant expression of receptors for primary bile acids across the gastrointestinal tract overwhelms the possibility of using agonists against these receptors for liver cancer control. Taking advantage of the intrinsic property of LSECs in capturing circulating nanoparticles in the circulation, we proposed a strategy using nanoemulsion-loaded obeticholic acid (OCA), a clinically approved selective farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonist, for precisely manipulating LSECs for triggering NKT cell-mediated liver cancer immunotherapy. The OCA-nanoemulsion (OCA-NE) was prepared
