Objective: To study the relationship between the whole blood zinc concentration and prostate carcinoma and to explore the diagnostic value of the whole blood zinc concentration combined with blood serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) for prostate cancer. Methods: A total of 95 patients with prostate carcinoma and 91 patients with benign prostate hyperplasia were selected between July 2005 and October 2008 in Zhongda Hospital of Southeast University and The Affiliated Drum Tower Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School. The whole blood zinc concentration was analyzed by atomic absorption spectometry. The serum PSA was analyzed by radioimmunoassay. Results: The volumes of the whole blood zinc concentration were 4.73±1.51 μg/mL in the prostate carcinoma group and 6.82±1.63 μg/mL in the benign prostate hyperplasia group, with a significant difference between the two groups (P<0.001). The serum PSA general distribution was significantly different between the two groups (P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the serum PSA of 4.0 to 10.0 ng/mL between the two groups (P=0.14). Compared with that in the benign prostate hyperplasia group, the area under ROC curve for the whole blood zinc concentration in the prostate carcinoma group was 0.82. The diagnostic accuracy was optimal with 5.24μg/mL set as the cut-off value of the whole blood zinc concentration and the Youden's index was 0.46 when it was combined with serum PSA 4.0 ng/mL (connection in series). The specificity was 75%, up to 2.34 times of serum PSA applied alone. Meanwhile, the Youden's index was 0.51, achieving 2.22 times. It was not helpful for the diagnosis of prostate carcinoma that the two diagnostic tools were in parallel by which the Youden's index was only 0.14. Conclusion: Detection of the whole blood zinc concentration is beneficial for differentiation of prostate carcinoma from benign prostate hyperplasia. Combined with serum PSA (connection in series), it can significantly impove diagnostic efficiency when PSA was 4.0~10.0ng/mL. Detection of the whole blood zinc concentration can provide valuable information for the diagnosis of prostate cancer and worths clincal application.

Objective To explore the influence of epithelial mesenchymal transition(EMT)in radiosensi-tivity of EGFR-mutant NSCLC cell with acquired resistance to EGFR-TKI. Methods In this study,EGFR-mutant human lung adenocarcinoma cell line PC-9 and Gefitinib acquired resistance cell line PC-9/AB were used. Western blot was used to assess EMT. Wound healing migration assay was tested. CCK8,colony formation and flow cytome-try were used to evaluate survival fraction ,as the sensitivity to irradiation. Results PC-9/AB displayed radioresis-tance(P<0.05). When EMT was reversed with CDH1,its radiosensitivity was significantly higher than PC-9/AB (P < 0.05). PC-9/TGF also displayed radioresistance (P < 0.05),as well as EMT phenotype presented. Conclusion EMT enhanced the radioresistance of EGFR-mutant NSCLC cell with acquired resistance to EGFR-TKI, possibly through TGF-βpathway.

Objective To investigate the relationships of hyperuricemia with clinical and Oxford classifications in children with IgA nephropathy.Methods Clinical data of 213 children with IgA nephropathy were retrospective analyzed. According to the levels of blood uric acid, these children were divided into two groups, hyperuricemia group (n?=?51) and normal uric acid group (n?=?162). Differences of clinical index and Oxford classiifcation between the two groups were observed. Results The 24 h urinary protein, level of serum creatinine, glomerular ifltration rate (eGFR) in hyperuricemia group were signiifcantly higher than those in normal group (P all?0.05). Oxford classiifcation showed that the degree of mesangial cell proliferation (M1) and renal tubular atrophy/interstitial ifbrosis (T1-2) in hyperuricemia group were more serious than in normal uric acid group (P all?0.01).Conclusions Children with IgA nephropathy combined with hyperuricemia were worse in clinical index and pathological manifestations. Increased serum uric acid may be one of the important factors that contribute to poor prognosis of children with IgA nephropathy.

Objective :
To investigate the current status of hearing loss in a fastener manufacturing enterprise, and to analyze its influencing factors, so as to provide insights into occupational disease prevention and control.
Methods:
The occupational health examination data of noise exposed workers and the workplace occupational disease hazard factors detection data in a fastener manufacturing enterprise in Jiaxing City in 2022 were collected through the Occupational Disease and Occupational Health Hazard Factors Detection System of China Disease Prevention and Control Information System, and factors affecting the development of high-frequency noise-induced hearing loss (HFNIHL) and speech-frequency noise-induced hearing loss (SFNIHL) were analyzed.
Results:
Totally 625 workers were investigated, with a median age of 44.00 (interquartile range, 13.00) years and a median length of service of 8.00 (interquartile range, 9.00) years, and including 519 men (83.04%) and 106 women (16.96%). There were 309 workers with single noise exposure (49.44%) and 316 workers with joint noise exposure (50.56%), and 518 workers exposed to noise with the normalized continuous A-weighted sound pressure level equivalent to a 40 h working week (LEX,40 h) that exceeded the national standard (82.88%). The detection rates of HFNIHL and SFNIHL were 49.12% and 35.04%, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis indicated that males (OR=10.528, 95%CI: 5.271-21.025), length of service of 10 years and longer (OR=2.451, 95%CI: 1.599-3.759), LEX,40 h of >85 dB (A) (OR=2.227, 95%CI: 1.318-3.764) and joint noise exposure (OR=3.002, 95%CI: 2.080-4.334) were associated with an increased risk of HFNIHL, and male (OR=9.400, 95%CI: 4.211-20.985), LEX,40 h of >85 dB (A) (OR=2.305, 95%CI: 1.345-3.951), and joint noise exposure (OR=3.880, 95%CI: 2.677-5.623) were associated with an increased risk of SFNIHL.
Conclusion
Gender, length of service, noise intensity and exposure mode are factors affecting the risk of HFNIHL, while gender, noise intensity and exposure mode are factors affecting the risk of SFNIHL.
