Objective:To investigate the effect of occupational factor exposures on carotid atherosclerosis (CAS) in steel workers.Methods:A frequency matched case-control study was conducted by age and factory proportion. A total of 1 033 workers with carotid atherosclerosis diagnosed by ultrasonography examination from February to June 2017 were selected as case group, and 1 033 workers without carotid atherosclerosis indicated by physical examination at the same time were selected as control group. The basic information of the workers, such as diet pattern, lifestyle, serum biochemical index and occupation history, were collected. The effects of occupational hazards on carotid atherosclerosis were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. The combined effects of various occupational hazards on carotid atherosclerosis were evaluated by environmental risk score (ERS).Results:High temperature, noise, occupational stress and night shift days increased the risk of CAS. With the increase of cumulative high temperature and noise exposure, occupational stress and night shift days, the risk of CAS increased (trend text: χ2=37.53, P<0.01; χ2=16.98, P<0.01; χ2=13.93, P<0.01; χ2=5.59, P<0.05). After adjustment of covariates, compared with P 20 group, the risk of carotid artery in P 40, P 60, P 80 and P 100 groups were as follows: high temperature 1.61 (1.19-2.18), 1.69 (1.25-2.30), 1.84 (1.36-2.49), 2.43 (1.77-3.34); noise 1.70 (1.15-2.52), 1.68 (1.20-2.35), 1.80 (1.34-2.42), 2.23 (1.53-3.26); occupational stress 1.39 (1.04- 1.86), 1.41 (1.06-1.89), 1.45(1.09-1.95), 1.48 (1.10-1.98); night shift days 1.58 (1.08-2.33), 1.66 (1.12-2.47), 1.55 (1.04-2.31), 1.76 (1.17-2.64). The results of the environmental risk score showed that the risk of carotid atherosclerosis increased with the increase of ERS (ERS trend text χ2=51.61, P<0.01); RCS results showed that there was a linear relationship between ERS and CAS in steel workers( P<0.01). Linear dose-response relationship existed between ERS and CAS (nonlinear test P>0.05). Conclusions:High temperature, noise, occupational stress and night shift days were related to carotid atherosclerosis. Linear dose-response relationship existed between ERS and CAS in steel workers.

Objective:To analyze the efficacy evaluation criteria of the existing TCM treatment for edema RCT research, and to provide reference for the construction of unified standards.Methods:The batabases CNKI, WanFang Data, VIP, CBM, Pubmed and Web of Science were retrieved. The randomized controlled trials for the treatment of edema of TCM research, from September 1, 1993 to July 31, 2022, were screened and included. The content of efficacy evaluation, performed statistics on evaluation standard, the curative effect evaluation indexes, as well as standard composition, usage were extracted. We analyzed the characteristics, application and problems of the existing efficacy evaluation criterion.Results:A total of 123 Chinese articles were included. The included literature involved nephrogenic edema, cardiogenic edema, idiopathic edema, apoplexy limb edema and other edema. In recent years, randomized controlled trials on the treatment of edema by TCM have mainly used four efficacy evaluation criteria. Of which the Guidelines for Clinical Research on New Chinese Medicines (Trial) in 2002 had the highest utilization rate of 29.27%. Secondly, the utilization rate of Standard for Diagnosis and Curative Effect of TCM Diseases and Syndromes was 21.14%. The rest of the criteria were used by less than 6%. While 39.02% of the literature did not use the standards or used self-designed standards. Among the composition of efficacy evaluation indices, the application rate of TCM syndrome or symptom efficacy index was the highest (91.87%), the utilization rate of the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire Indicators was only 4.88%; biochemical tests accounted for a large proportion of Western medical indicators, while the measurement of edema severity was rarely applied. Conclusions:At present, the evaluation criteria of edema curative effect are diversified and insufficiently popularized, which need to be further screened and improved. It is suggested to construct a TCM edema efficacy evaluation model based on the characteristics of edema syndrome, comprehensively evaluate the efficacy from multiple dimensions such as TCM syndromes, western medicine indicators, and quality of life, and improve the scientific indicators.

Objective : investigate the correlation between the ossification of the styloid hyoid ligament and Bell’s facial paralysis and provide a reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Methods: A case of ossification of the bilateral stylohyoid ligament with Bell's facial palsy caused by ossification of the bilateral stylohyoid ligament was diagnosed by clinical manifestations, differential diagnosis and imaging examination. The surgical plan was determined, and combined surgical resection of the ossified area of the styloid hyoid ligament and the greater horn of the hyoid was performed. Postoperative cefoxitin sodium anti-inflammatory treatment, methylprednisolone hormone treatment, acyclovir antiviral treatment, mecobalamin nutritional neurotherapy, and the relevant literature were analyzed. Results: The patient experienced pain when swallowing before surgery, disappearance of right frontal ridges, incomplete eyelid closure, and ptosis of mouth corners. An MRI scan of the brain excluded intracranial space-occupying lesions and resulted in the diagnosis of Bell’s facial paralysis. High-resolution CT of the styloid process confirmed ossification of the styloid hyoid ligament. Styloid process shortening and partial hyoid resection were performed under general anesthesia. Half a month after discharge, the symptoms of sore throat and pain in swallowing disappeared, facial nerve function recovered well, right eyelid closure function recovered well, and right mouth droop improved. The facial nerve function basically returned to normal after 1 month of follow-up. A review of the relevant literature showed that ossification of the stylohyoid ligament to form pseudojoint dilation can locally stimulate the peripheral facial nerve and lead to facial paralysis symptoms. Conclusion Ossification of the styloid hyoid ligament is usually characterized by pharyngeal pain, which can be confirmed by imaging examination. Ossification of the styloid hyoid ligament with facial paralysis is rare in the clinic, so it is necessary to make a clear diagnosis and treat the symptoms.

Objective : To investigate the clinical efficacy and application value of an improved 3D-printed guide plate for the treatment of primary trigeminal neuralgia (PTN) by percutaneous microballoon compression (PMC). Methods : This prospective study included 42 patients with primary trigeminal neuralgia treated at the Department of Stomatology, Xuzhou Central Hospital, from September 2019 to January 2022. The group was divided by the random number table method into the experimental group (adopting 3D printing technology to make guide plates to guide the puncture, 22 cases) and the control group (adopting the traditional Hartel anterior approach to position the puncture, 20 cases). The intraoperative success rate of the first puncture, puncture time, operative time, radiation exposure of patients and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. Postoperative Barrow Neurological Institute Scale (BNI) scores, facial numbness, diminished corneal reflexes and chewing weakness were recorded. The t-test, rank-sum test and chi-square test were used for statistical analysis, with P<0.05 indicating a statistically significant difference. Results : The experimental group was significantly better than the control group in terms of the success rate of the first puncture (χ2 = 21.51, P<0.001), puncture time (Z = -5.51, P<0.001), operative time (t = 9.37, P<0.001), and the number of C-arm scans (Z = -4.59, P<0.001). Postoperative BNI scores of the experimental group included 21 cases of grade Ⅰ (91.5%) and 1 case of grade Ⅱ, while the control group included 17 cases of grade Ⅰ (85.0%), 2 cases of grade Ⅱ (10.0%) and 1 case of grade Ⅲ (5.0%), with no statistical significance (P>0.05). In the experimental group, 16 patients had postoperative masseter weakness, 1 had keratitis and 10 had perilabial herpes, while in the control group, 18 patients had postoperative masseter weakness, 2 had keratitis, 11 had perilabial herpes and 1 had monocular blindness. There was no significant difference in postoperative complications between the two groups (P>0.05). At 12 months of follow-up, there was no recurrence in either the experimental or control group. Conclusions 3D digital guide plate-guided percutaneous microballoon compression for primary trigeminal neuralgia can improve the accuracy and safety of puncture to a certain extent, obviously shorten the operation time, reduce radiation exposure of the patients, improve the success rate of the operation, meaning it has a high clinical application value.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence of pre-diabetes mellitus (PDM) and the impact of occupation-related factors on PDM, among workers from a steel company in Tangshan city, Hebei province.Methods:Clustering sampling method was used to select a steel company and to carry out occupational health-related physical checkup programs for eligible workers who had working in this company for longer than one year. The study began in February and ended up in June, 2017. Workers who were with FPG level as ≤6.9 mmol/L, and free from diabetes, were selected as the subjects for this study. Questionnaires were used and physical examinations and FPG testing conducted.Results:The total number of subjects in this study was 4 173, of which 2 648 appeared as pre-diabetic, with the prevalence rate as 63.4 %. Increase of the PDM prevalence was in parallel with the length of service, among the workers. The risk for the pre-diabetes in those who worked more than 8 hours per day was 1.696 times higher than those who worked less than or equal to 8 h/d (95 %CI:1.517-1.937). Compared with those workers without exposures to heat, noise or carbon monoxides, the proportion of pre-diabetes appeared higher in workers exposed to heat, noise or CO with OR=1.782 (95 %CI: 1.205-2.636), 1.815 (95 %CI: 1.209-2.794) and 1.653 (95 %CI: 1.158-2.361), respectively. Risks for those who were exposed to heat or noise were higher than those who were free from exposure to any occupational hazards ( OR=2.098, 95 %CI: 1.296-3.397). Prevalence rates of pre-diabetes in those who were exposed to heat, noise or CO, were higher than that those who were not. Conclusion:Working hours and exposures to heat, noise or CO appeared as influential factors on PDM.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of cumulative noise exposure(CNE) on the intima-media thickness(IMT) of carotid artery in steel workers. METHODS: A cluster random sampling method was used to select 1 437 noise exposed workers in a steel company as study subjects. The CNE was calculated according to the noise intensity of the workplace, and the occupational health check was carried out to construct the structural equation model of noise to IMT. RESULTS: The detection rate of carotid atherosclerosis(CAS) in these 1 437 subjects was 38.3%. The CAS detection rates of steel workers increased with the increasing CNE(P<0.01). The structural equation model had good fitting effect. Path analysis showed CNE can indirectly affect IMT through blood pressure, triglycerides, fasting blood glucose, homocysteine, high-density lipoprotein & apolipoprotein A, low-density lipoprotein & apolipoprotein B. The total effects were-0.375, 0.337, 0.248, 0.117, 0.056, 0.056 and 0.018 respectively. CONCLUSION: CNE can indirectly increase the IMT of steel workers by acting on the proximal cause.
