Under the backdrop of the "Healthy China 2030" strategy, running has become the most common form of exercise. Fitness running is a kind of endurance aerobic exercise. Compared with swimming, aerobics, and other sports with high activity and intensity, the risk of lower limb fatigue injury during fitness running is higher. In this review paper, the risk factors for running-related injuries were summarized by consulting and analyzing the database and focuses on discussing and analyzing the impact of running on joints. The results showed that hip adduction, knee bending, and ankle joint abnormalities are the three joint-related factors that cause the main injuries during running. Four rehabilitation intervention methods for running-related injuries were proposed, that can guide patients to generate personalized rehabilitation treatment plans through training.

Objective:To investigate the effect of irradiation on the expression of miR-150-5p and miR-23a-3p in human peripheral blood serum by collecting peripheral blood of tumor patients before and after radiotherapy, so as to provide scientific basis for finding radiation biomarkers.Methods:A total of 63 tumor patients treated with radiotherapy from October 2021 to March 2022 were enrolled in this study. The relative expression levels of miR-150-5p and miR-23a-3p in peripheral blood serum in these patients were detected using the real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qPCR) before and after radiotherapy. The differential changes in the expression levels of the two miRNAs in the peripheral blood serum of the patients before and after radiotherapy were compared, and their relationships with factors such as cancer types were analyzed.Results:The relative expression levels of miR-150-5p and miR-23a-3p in peripheral blood serum of the patients after radiotherapy were significantly lower than those before radiotherapy ( t = 4.97, Z = -2.77, P < 0.05). Among different cancer types, the relative expression level of miR-150-5p in the patients with breast cancer, esophageal cancer, or other digestive tract cancer decreased after radiotherapy ( t = 3.47, 2.47, 2.87, P < 0.05), and the relative expression level of miR-23a-3p in the patients with digestive tract cancer decreased after radiotherapy ( Z = -1.99, P < 0.05). The changes in the expression level of miR-150-5p before and after radiotherapy were not affected by gender, age, chemotherapy, and cancer type ( P > 0.05). By contrast, the changes in the expression level of miR-23a-3p before and after radiotherapy were significantly affected by gender, age, and chemotherapy ( t=2.04, -3.34, -2.29, P<0.05). Conclusions:The expression of miR-150-5p in the serum of tumor patients may be affected by radiotherapy, which has the potential to be used as a biological indicator of radiation.

Objective:To investigate chromosomal aberrations in peripheral blood lymphocytes of underground miners, in order to explore the influencing factors involved in chromosomal aberration levels of non-uranium metal mines.Methods:Totall 135 workers were recruited from an iron mine and a gold mine located in different cities of Henan province, where 69 workers worked aboveground and 66 miners worked underground in the metal mines. The radon concentration in the mines was measured by solid-state nuclear track detectors. Chromosomal aberrations in peripheral blood lymphocytes from the subjects were detected using conventional analysis method, and the influence factors of chromosomal aberrations were analyzed.Results:Radon concentration was 30-2 943 Bq/m 3 in the aboveground workplace of the mines, and 62-28 314 Bq/m 3 in underground. The age of the underground group was obviously lower than that of the aboveground group( t=2.12, P<0.05), but the frequencies of dicentrics, translocation, acentric fragment, and total chromosome-type aberrations in the underground group were significantly higher than those in the aboveground group ( χ2=10.49, 16.74, 8.15, 29.50, P<0.01). Consistent results were obtained when only male workers were regarded as object of observation ( χ2=8.44, 11.63, 4.94, 20.81, P<0.05). The frequency of translocation ( χ2=8.44, P<0.05) was dependent on the length of service in the underground group. Poisson regression analysis indicated that the aboveground and undergroud grouping partly affected the levels of dicentrics, translocation, acentric fragment, and total chromosome-type aberrations (the underground group IRR=3.25, 2.69, 1.97, 2.18, P<0.05). Conclusions:The radon exposure in the underground workplace of the metal mines may be the main factor resulting in the increase of chromosome-type aberrations of miners. The occupational health and safety of the miners who may be exposed to high radon levels are worthy of great attention.

The application of chromosome translocation to retrospective biodosimetry for A-bomb survivors, the victims previously exposed to nuclear/ radiation accident has experienced nearly 40 years of development. Retrospective biodosimetry was internationally paid close attention to radiation workers, exposed atomic veterans and medical exposure subjects, respectively, along with the development of molecular cytogenetic technology such as mFISH and cGH. And the remarkable breakthrough and progress have been made in recent years. This paper reviews the progress of translocation indicator as retrospective biodosimetry for the subjects, in order to provide a reference for retrospective dose estimation based on translocation analysis.

Parental exposure to ionizing radiation (IR) can induce mutation in germline that may lead to genome instability, chromosomal aberrations, sex ratio variations, increased cancer susceptibility, and even increased probability of birth defects among their offspring, which substantially increase the burden of hereditary diseases. Up to now, the hereditary effect of IR has been observed in a number of species, but there is lack of evidence in humans. With reference to related studies in China and globally, this article reviews the human epidemiological studies of the hereditary effect of IR and briefly discusses why the hereditary effect of IR is not obvious in humans, so as to provide a reference for future assessment of the hereditary effect of radiation in China.

Objective:To investigate the influence of low-dose ionizing radiation on the expression level of serum insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) in radiation workers in hospitals.Methods:183 radiation workers were randomly selected and grouped by work type including interventional radiology ( n=37), nuclear medicine ( n=43), radiotherapy ( n=48), and diagnostic radiology ( n=55). The content of IGFBP-3 in the serum of radiation workers was detected by ELISA assay. Results:It was observed that the expression level of serum IGFBP-3 in the four groups had significant differences ( F=6.056, P<0.05), and the content of serum IGFBP-3 in the interventional radiology group was significantly higher than that of nuclear medicine, radiotherapy, and diagnostic radiology groups ( t= 2.815, 3.611, 3.936, P<0.05). The concentration of IGFBP-3 in the serum of radiation workers among different annual effective dose groups was statistically different ( F=8.380, P<0.05), which gradually increased with the increase of annual effective dose and length of service ( rs=0.202, 0.151, P<0.05). Conclusions:The expression level of serum IGFBP-3 has the potential to be used as a biomarker to reflect the cumulative exposure of long-term chronic low-dose ionizing radiation.

Objective:To carry out investigation and analysis of an extensive skin radiation injury to the back accidentally caused by interventional procedure and to explore the problems faced in the event with emphasis on avoiding the reoccurance of similar events in the future.Methods:The data were collected by consulting the patient′s detailed medical history, collecting and analyzing clinical diagnosis and treatment data, tracking and observing their clinical manifestations and signs. The patient′s peripheral blood samples were also collected, together with the biological dose estimated and the equipment data collected on the site of the interventional treatment hospital.Results:The whole body dose to the patient was estimated to be 0.95 Gy. The typical values of kerma rate of radiation incident on the body surface due to fluoroscopic procedures were 373.5 mGy/min in subtraction modality and 47.8 mGy/min in fluoroscopy modality, respectively. The annual effective dose to the interventional radiologist was 20.51 mSv due to his operation in long-time radiation exposure conditions, higher than 3.09 mSv for other interventional radiologists with similar workload in the same department. The whole body and local clinical manifestations of the patients were in line with radiation injury. No clear diagnosis has been obtained in several hospitals, nor can obvious treatment outcomes be obsevered.Conclusion:Combined with the biological dose estimation result and clinical manifestations, the case was diagnosed as degree Ⅳ skin radiation injury. Radiation injury is closely related to whether the operation is conducted according to the standard and the output dose of X-ray machine. Non-specialized hospitals should strengthen clinical diagnosis and treatment of radiation injury.

Objective:To evaluate biological dose and retrospective biodosimetry of a case of large area back skin injury caused by suspected interventional procedure.Methods:Peripheral blood from the patient was collected at about 7 months after interventional procedure, and the chromosomal aberrations in peripheral blood cells were analyzed to evaluate the retrospective biodosimetry using the correction factor of dose estimation, Dolphin′s model and Qdr method, respectively. Results:Based on the amounts of semi-automated dic and manually detected dic plus ring, the whole-body average absorbed dose of the victim was estimated to be 0.68-0.95 Gy by four different dose response curves. Over dispersion of dic or dic plus ring was also detected, and the efficiency of dose assessment was obviously increased using dic semi-automatic detection. Based on three different retrospective biodosimetry models, the estimated average absorbed dose was further corrected to be between 1.80-2.86 Gy, which was consistent with clinical diagnosis of degree Ⅳ radiation skin injury.Conclusions:A case of suspected radiation skin injury was confirmed by chromosomal aberration analysis and it’s biodosimetry was reconstructed, suggesting that the unstable chromosomal aberration analysis may be applicable to assess the retrospective biodosimetry of non-uniform local radiation exposure.

Objective:To explore the influence factors of chromosomal aberration levels in radiation workers in hospitals.Methods:Two hundred and fourteen age- and sex- matched hospital radiation workers were recruited by stratified random sampling method. According to the job title, the individuals were divided into four groups including diagnostic radiology group ( n=57), radiotherapy group ( n=49), nuclear medicine group ( n=52) and interventional radiology group ( n=56). Chromosomal aberrations in peripheral blood lymphocytes from the subjects were measured using conventional cytogenetic analysis method, and the influence factors of chromosomal aberrations were analyzed. Results:There was significant difference in the frequencies of acentric fragment, translocation and total chromosome-type aberrations among the four groups ( χ2=9.906, 19.965, 32.824, P<0.05), and the rates of aberrations were significantly higher in the interventional radiology group and the nuclear medicine groups than those in the diagnostic radiology (interventional group: χ2=4.711, 10.798, 10.845, P<0.05; nuclear medicine group: χ2=3.853, 7.674, 7.708, P<0.05) and the radiotherapy groups (interventional group: χ2=9.209, 9.772, 21.330, P<0.05; nuclear medicine group: χ2=8.010, 6.969, 10.812, P<0.05). The rates of translocation and total aberrations ( χ2=7.706, 6.667, P<0.05) and the frequencies of acentric fragment, translocation and total aberrations ( χ2=12.263, 15.360, 21.478, P<0.01) were dependent on the length of service and the dose among different groups. The rates of translocation and total aberrations significantly increased along with exposure doses ( r=0.347, 0.263, P<0.01). Poisson regression analysis indicated that the job titles and annual effective dose partly affected the levels of chromosomal aberrations[ IRR=1.797 (nuclear medicine group), 2.136 (interventional group) and 1.422 (0.5-1 mSv group); P<0.05]. Conclusions:The frequencies of chromosomal aberrations in the radiation workers of interventional and nuclear medicine groups remain higher levels in hospital, thus it is necessary to strengthen the radiation protection on these radiation workers.
