Objective To evaluated intra-articular injection of TNF-α inhibitors into the sacroiliac joint as an effective and viable alternative. Methods Sixteen patients with documented ankylosing spondylitis (AS), without steroids or disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) were performed CT-guided intra-articular injections of etanercept (TNF-α antagonist) at week 0, 4 and 8 (25 mg per dose). Similarly, 20 patients with AS in the control group received systemic etanercept therapy at a dose of 50 mg per week for 8 weeks. All patients were followed up clinically and evaluated periodically. Pathological features of sacroiliitis were observed with light microscopy and immunohistochemistry. Expression of cytokines in joint biopsy samples was estimated by RT-PCR. Image changes of sacroiliitis were observed by SPECT/CT and MRI. Ttest, t'tesr and χ2 Fisher's test were selected. Results All the 16 patients who received intra-articular etanercept, the mean value of radiological nuclide decrease of the SIJ ROI (region of interest) in the SPECT improved significantly after 8 weeks treatment [(1.38±0.16 vs 1.45±0.14) P<0.05] . Bone marrow edema and fat deposition in MRI were relieved significantly after 8 weeks (P<0.05). In 8 patients the expression of TNF-α and TGF-β mRNA in joint tissue decreased significantly after 8 weeks [(0.89±0.06, 0.84±0.05) vs (l.08± 0.19, 1.13±0.33) (P<0.05)]. The occurrence of gynonitis, enthesitis, chondritis, subehondral bony plate destruction, bone marrow inflammation and inflammatory cell index also decreased significantly (P<0.05). Participants given intra-articular injection showed significant clinical improvement after 8 weeks and 12 weeks treatment(P<0.01 ) in BASDAI score [(32±13) mm]. Conclusion This study has shown that intra-articular injection of etanercept in SIJ can improve joint function and quality of life. It has a satisfactory safety profile and is cost effective. This mode of treatment is most beneficial in local arthropathy of recent onset and in those patients who do not tolerate systemic etanercept therapy.

Objective To further strengthen the management of radiological health technical service institutions, standardize their technical service behaviors, and explore the supervision countermeasures for radiological health and technical service institutions. Methods The radiological health technical service institutions status questionnaires s were designed to survey the basic situation, professionals and technical personnel, the equipment configuration, testing items and workload of service institutions. Results By the end of 2019, there were 23 radiological health technical service institutions in Hebei province, including 8 disease control and occupational prevention institutions (accounting for 34.8%) and 15 third-party institutions (accounting for 65.2%); The distribution of regional agencies were unbalanced; There were 223 professional and technical personnel, of which 29.6% were senior technical professionals, 29.6% were intermediate technical professionals and 40.8% were other professionals.58.8% had a bachelor's degree or above, and 41.2% had a college degree or below; The majors of professionals were relatively scattered, with only 6.44% of radiological health, 5.15% of physics-related majors, and 51.07% of medical-related majors. Other majors involve chemical pharmacy, environmental engineering, public relations planning, food, English, accounting and other majors.The professional technical responsible person had no part-time job;. The institution were totally equipped with 308 sets of radiation protection detectors and 172 sets of phantoms, basically in line with the configuration requirements; All quality control system documents such as quality management manuals, procedural documents, operating procedures, and work instructions have been established; All test items applied by laboratory measurement certification have passed;Conclusion The CDC institutions were gradually shrinking, the private institutions were gradually increasing and the nature of the institutions was gradually diversified.The allocation of regional resources was unbalanced.It is suggestedto strengthen the training on the theoretical basis and professional skills of professionals in testing and evaluation. Increasing on-site practical training is a more important and effective way.It is recommended to strengthen the training of basic-level health administrative departments and supervisory agencies and improvethe sense of responsibility of supervisors.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of soybean isoflavones (SI) on the reproductive development of young mice. METHODS C57BL/6 young mice were randomly divided into control group, SI low-dose and high-dose groups (10, 100 mg/kg), with 10 mice in each group (half male and half female). The young mice in each group were given corresponding liquid intragastrically, once a day, for 2 consecutive weeks. After the last administration, the percentage of body weight increase was calculated; serum estradiol and testosterone levels, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities in the reproductive organs of the young mice were determined. The histopathological changes in the reproductive organs were observed. The cell apoptosis of reproductive organs was detected. RESULTS Compared with the control group, the percentage of body weight increase in female mice was increased significantly in the SI high-dose group, while that of male mice was decreased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Cystic follicles could be seen in the ovarian tissue in SI groups, a loose arrangement of spermatocytes could be seen in the testicular tissue, and partial epithelial cell shedding could be seen in epididymal tissue. The serum level of testosterone in female young mice and the serum levels of testosterone and estradiol in male young mice in SI groups, GSH-Px activity in the ovarian tissue of female young mice in the SI low-dose group, T-AOC activities in the ovarian tissue of female young mice in SI groups as well as the apoptotic rates of cells in testicular and epididymal tissue of male young mice in SI groups were increased significantly (P<0.05 or P< 0.01); the serum level of estradiol in female young mice in SI groups, SOD activity in the ovarian tissue of female young mice in the SI high-dose group, and MDA contents in the ovarian tissue of female young mice in SI groups as well as the apoptotic rates of cells in ovarian tissue of female mice in SI groups were decreased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS SI can enhance the antioxidant stress capacity of ovarian tissue in female young mice and reduce their oxidative stress damage, but it has certain toxicity to reproductive organs in male mice.

Objective:
To standardize the occupational health management of radiation workers and raise the management level and technical content for the supervision of occupational health of radiation workers.
Methods:
The information system for radiation worker passbook was established and applied in Hebei province for practice.
Results:
Until December 2018, 4 339 passbooks have been issued to radiation workers from 140 medical institutions. Through the establishment and operation of the radiation worker passbook information system, the basic information and distribution characteristics of the provincial registered medical institutions and their radiation workers in Hebei province were obtained. The efficiency of the examination and approval and issuance of radiation worker certificates by the health administrative departments was improved by reducing the intermediate procedure.
Conclusions
Data are obtained and provided for the discussion of electronic card management of occupational health of radiation workers, real-time query of information such as medical institutions of radiation workers, education and training, individual dose monitoring, occupational health examinations, and diagnosis and identification of occupational radiological diseases. Reference basis is provided for health administrative departments to carry out radiation worker supervision.
