Objective:To explore the effects of human-derived fibrin glue on prevention of postoperative complications of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in early esophageal squamous cancer and precancerous lesions.Methods:A total of 210 patients with early esophageal squamous cancer or precancerous lesions who underwent ESD at Department of Gastroenterology, Zhongda Hospital Affiliated to Southeast University from April 2017 to April 2020 were included in this retrospective study. Seventy-three cases (79 esophageal lesions) where human-derived fibrin glue was used before retrieving endoscope were included in the observation group, while 137 cases (156 esophageal lesions) where fibrin glue was not used were included in the control group. The postoperative complications and pain were compared between the two groups.Results:Clinical data including general information, longitudinal length, Paris type, pathological type, invasion depth, circumferential range, area of resection, duration of operation and local steroid used were similar between the two groups ( P>0.05). The incidences of perforation, delayed bleeding and esophageal stenosis in the observation group were 2.7% (2/73), 1.4% (1/73), and 16.4% (12/73), respectively, and were 2.9% (4/137), 1.5% (2/137), and 13.1% (18/137), respectively in the control group. There were no significant differences between the two groups ( P>0.05). The incidence of postoperative pain in the observation group was 53.4% (39/73), which was significantly lower than that in the control group of 70.8% (97/137) ( χ2=6.302, P=0.012). The incidences of mild, moderate and severe pain in observation group on the day of ESD were 9.6% (7/73), 6.8% (5/73) and 5.5% (4/73), respectively, and 27.0% (37/137, χ2=8.724, P=0.003), 17.5% (24/137, χ2=4.554, P=0.033) and 0.7% (1/137, χ2=2.805, P=0.094), respectively in the control group. The incidences of mild, moderate and severe pain in the observation group on the first day after the operation were 26.0% (19/73), 5.5% (4/73) and 6.8% (5/73), respectively, and 29.2% (40/137, χ2=0.237, P=0.626), 14.6% (20/137, χ2=3.912, P=0.048) and 4.4% (6/137, χ2=0.193, P=0.660), respectively in the control group. The corresponding incidences on the second day after the operation were 5.5% (4/73), 0 and 1.4% (1/73) in the observation group and 19.0% (26/137, χ2=7.087, P=0.008), 2.9% (4/137) and 0 in the control group, respectively. Conclusion:Human-derived fibrin glue shows no obvious preventive effect on post-ESD bleeding, perforation or stenosis in early esophageal cancer and precancerous lesions. However, it can significantly reduce the incidence of ESD-related postoperative pain, especially the incidences of mild and moderate pain.

Objective:To investigate the imaging characteristics of chest CT angiography in patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis complicated with pulmonary embolism, so as to improve the detection rate of active pulmonary tuberculosis complicated with pulmonary embolism.Methods:The clinical data of 103 patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis treated in Tianjin Haihe Hospital from January 2013 to January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, including general conditions, symptoms and complications. According to the occurrence of pulmonary embolism, the patients were divided into active pulmonary tuberculosis complicated with pulmonary embolism group (study group, n=43) and active pulmonary tuberculosis without pulmonary embolism group (control group, n=60). The time between the onset of pulmonary embolism and the onset of tuberculosis of the patients in the study group was collected. The chest CT imaging characteristics of the patients of two groups were analyzed. The imaging characteristics, embolism distribution and secondary changes of the patients in the study group were summarized. Results:Time from onset of tuberculosis to pulmonary embolism of the patients in the study group was about 60 days (14 days to 75 days). The incidence of chest tightness and dyspnea of the patients in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group (all P<0.05). The number of lung lobes involved in lung lesions of the patients in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( P<0.05). The incidence of lesions in the middle lobe of the right lung, the tongue lobe of the left lung and the lower lobes of both lungs of the patients in the study group was higher than that in the control group (all P<0.05). The incidence of peripheral pulmonary embolism was significantly higher than that of central pulmonary embolism ( P<0.05). However, the incidence of atelectasis, pulmonary artery widening, and right heart enlargement in the patients with central pulmonary embolism was significantly higher than that in the patients with central pulmonary embolism (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Multi-slice spiral CT chest angiography can show some important imaging manifestations of patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis and pulmonary embolism, which is helpful for the early detection of the disease and the improvement of its prognosis. Multi slice spiral CT chest angiography can show some important imaging manifestations of patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis complicated with pulmonary embolism, and timely detection is helpful to improve the prognosis of patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis complicated with pulmonary embolism.

Background Most of the studies on grading and classification of occupational health compre-hensive risks for specific employers still remain in the establishment and description of methodology, and practical application studies are rarely reported. Objective To explore the application of an occupational disease hazards comprehensive risk assessment method issued by the National Disease Control and Prevention Bureau in conjunction with the National Health Commission and a self-developed occupational health grading and classification method in petroleum refining enterprises, and to provide practical experience for the implementation of differentiated law enforcement by relevant regulatory authorities. Methods Two occupational health grading and classification methods were practiced in three petroleum refining enterprises in Guangdong Province. The occupational hazards comprehensive risk assessment method was provided by the Notice on Carrying out Pilot Work of Occupational Health Classification Supervision and Law Enforcement of the National Disease Control and Prevention Bureau and the National Health Commission. The principle was to derive the occupational health risk level according to nature of occupational hazards, exposure level, and number of workers exposed to them in an employer, and then to classify them into Class A, Class B, and Class C by combining with local occupational health management status level. The occupational health grading and classification method was self-developed according to available domestic and foreign occupational health risk assessment methods. Its principle was to calculate the risk level of each workstation in an employer based on published carcinogenicity classification or LD50/LC50 of chemical toxicants, level of noise, exposure parameters such as exposure level and exposure frequency, estimate the comprehensive risk Ro of the target employer by the Romanian comprehensive risk calculation method, and then calculate a comprehensive risk Ro' weighted by the occupational health management index of the target employer and classify it into class A, class B, and class C. Finally, assessment results, scope of application, inquired indicators, advantages,disadvantages and professional competence requirements of the two grading and classification methods were compared. Results The occupational hazards that were evaluated in three enterprises in this study were benzene, toluene, xylene, gasoline, hydrogen sulfide, and noise. The exposure levels of benzene, toluene, xylene, and gasoline were all below 10% OEL (occupational exposure limit), and hydrogen sulfide and noise were disqualified. Occupational hazards such as benzene and hydrogen sulfide were serious occupational hazards in the three enterprises, and the number of workers exposed was 461, 912, and 224, respectively; the HRs (hazard ratings) of benzene, toluene, xylene, gasoline, hydrogen sulfide, and noise were level 5, 3, 2, 3, 5, and 3 respectively. The occupational health management status of the three enterprises was graded as B, A, and B, respectively by the occupational disease hazards comprehensive risk assessment method. The occupational health management index of the three enterprises was graded as B, A, and A, respectively by the occupational health grading and classification method. The comprehensive risk assessment results showed that two enterprises classified into as the highest class C and one into class B by the occupational disease hazards comprehensive risk assessment method, while all three enterprises were classified into class B by the occupational health grading and classification method. Conclusion The two grading and classification methods are not consistent in the evaluation results of petroleum refining enterprises, and there are differences in the evaluation scope, indicators to be collected, and professionalism. It is recommended that occupational health regulators should fully consider the advantages and disadvantages of the two methods and choose the appropriate assessment method according to the actual regulatory purpose.
