Objective:To study the group noise exposure level of typical coal-fired power plants and explore the establishment of risk assessment methods for noise exposed posts.Methods:In April 2020, 295 typical workers in 11 coal-fired power plants were selected as the study subjects. The noise exposure dose of typical posts and the proportion of exposure groups under different exposure doses were analyzed, and the risk assessment based on the dose-response relationship was conducted.Results:The exposure level of typical noise posts in coal-fired power plants was (84.24±4.10) dB (A) , and the over-standard rate was 44.07% (130/295) . The highest noise over-standard rate in main posts were desulfurization inspectors (51.52%) , followed by steam turbine inspectors (47.92%) and belt inspectors (46.32%) . Taking 30 years as an example, the incidence rate of occupational noise deafness of noise-exposed posts in coal-fired power plants was 12.30%. The position with the highest incidence rate was belt inspector (13.21%) , followed by steam turbine inspector (12.97%) , desulfurization inspectors (12.42%) , boiler inspectors (11.59%) and chemical water inspectors (6.89%) .Conclusion:The risk of noise exposure in coal-fired power plants is relatively high. Comprehensive control measures are recommended to effectively reduce the risk of noise deafness.

Objective To compare the efficacy of percutaneous transforaminal approach and translaminar approach in the treatment of L5/S1 disc herniation(LDH)under endoscopic discectomy.Methods Adopted a retro-spective case-control study,and selected 62 cases of patients with L5/S1 LDH who were treated with percutaneous endoscopic surgery in the spine surgery department of our hospital from June 2020 to December 2022,and the transforaminal approach was used.(TELD)in 32 cases(TELD group),and interlaminar approach(IELD)in 30 cases(IELD group).The observation indicators included intraoperative fluoroscopy times,operation time,hospitaliza-tion days,hospitalization expenses,leg pain VAS score,ODI score,modified MacNab curative effect evaluation and complications.Results All 62 patients successfully completed the operation and follow-up,and no serious complications occurred.There were statistically significant differences in operation time,fluoroscopy times,and hospitalization expenses between the two groups(P<0.001),but there was no significant difference in hospitaliza-tion days between the two groups(P>0.05).The lower extremity VAS scores at the last follow-up and the last follow-up were significantly improved compared with those before operation(P<0.001),and the ODI scores of the two groups were significantly improved at 2 days,1 month and at the last follow-up(P<0.001).At the same time point,there was no statistical difference(P>0.05);there was no significant difference in the excellent and good rate of surgery between the two groups(P>0.05).11 patients with high iliac crest in the TELD group successfully completed the surgery.Conclusions Both the endoscopic surgery through the intervertebral foramen and the inter-laminar approach can achieve satisfactory results in the treatment of L5/S1 LDH.However,local anesthesia through the intervertebral foramen approach reduces hospitalization costs,and patients with high iliac crest can successfully complete the surgery by selecting a suitable puncture path.The translaminar approach has fewer fluoroscopy times and shorter surgical time,but there is a higher risk of dura mater and nerve damage,which requires careful opera-tion for beginners.

Objective:To explore the influencing factors of clinical pregnancy outcomes in patients with hydrosalpinx undergoing in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer(IVF-ET) after interventional embolization and whether residual hydrops has an adverse impact on pregnancy outcomes.Methods:Clinical data from 65 patients who underwent interventional embolization and IVF-ET for hydrosalpinx at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from March 2021 to October 2022 were collected retrospectively. The hydrops index was quantified by the ratio of the widest diameter to the pelvic transverse diameter of the intraoperative hydrops, and the patient′s age, body mass index(BMI), follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH), lutenizing hormine(LH), estradiol(E2), automated matetials hangling(AMH), endometrial thickness at the time of transplantation, the number of transplanted embryos, embryo type, and location of the hydrosalpinx were recorded. In addition, the clinical pregnancy outcomes of the first transplantation after embolization were followed. Two independent samples t-test, rank sum test and chi-square test were used to analyze the difference of the above indexes among different clinical pregnancy outcomes by SPSS 25.0. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and Youden index were used to calculate the cut-off value of the water accumulation index. Results:Among 65 patients, the clinical pregnancy rate was 63.1%(41/65), among the 45 patients who underwent embryo transfer before embolization without success, the clinical pregnancy rate after embolization was 62.2%(28/45). Based on data analysis, it showed that IVF-ET clinical pregnancy outcomes were not associated with age, BMI, FSH, LH, E2, AMH, endometrial thickness at the time of transplantation, the number of transplanted embryos, embryo type, as well as location of hydrosalpinx( P>0.05), but associated with hydrosalpinx index( P<0.001). ROC curve analysis showed that the hydrops index could be used as a predictor of pregnancy outcome, and the area under the curve was 0.825, and the optimal cut-off value of the hydrops index was 12.925% based on the Youden index analysis result. Conclusions:Interventional embolization of hydrosalpinx may improve clinical pregnancy rates. When the hydrosalpinx is large enough, it could adversely affected IVF-ET clinical pregnancy, and further aspiration of hydrosalpinx should be performed prior to transplantation.

Objective To characterise the alterations of serum autoantibodies for cyclinB1,p62,Koc-IMP1 and survivin in the subjects with esophgeal and gastric cardia carcinoma and precancerous lesion and their expres-sions in the esophageal and gastric cardia cancer tissue.Methods Enzyme-linked immunoassay and tumor-associated antigen mini-array (consisting of five full-length recombinant proteins,including eyefinB1-p62-Koc,IMP1 and Survivin)were applied to determine the serum level of the autoantibodies of these antigens on 376 subjects with e-sephageal and gastric cardia carcinoma and precancerous lesions.At the same time,the expression of these antigens was detected by immunohistochemical method(ABC)on 13 patients with esophageal cancer and 16 with gastric car-dia cancer.Results All of the 5 antigens determined,the linear correlation Was observed for the detection frequency of cyclinB1,IMPI and p62 in esophageal carcinogenesis,and for p62 in gastric cardia multi-stage progression from normal to precancerous and cancerous lesions(P<0.05).The detection rale with single positive antoantibody im-munoreactivity for both esophageal and gastric cardia cancers were low.However.the positive detection mte for both esophageal and gastric cardia cancer increased apparently when the multiple positive markers were combined together for analysis,which increased tO 3～5 and 3～4 folds respectively.Furthermore,the difference in autoantibody immu-noreactive rate was significant with the lesion progressed from mild tO severe precancerous lesions and to cancer both in esophageal and gastric cardia cancers(P<0.05).The positive immunoreactions of the 5 antigens were detected in cancer tissues.The positive immunostaining rates for cyclinB1,Koc,IMP1 and Survivin both in esophageal and gastric cardia cancers were higher compared to their serllin positive rate of autoantibodies I P<0.05).Of the pa-tients with positive immunostaining in the two cancer tissues,the autoantibodies in the serum for the corresponding antigens could be detected in the same patient.Conclusion The production of the tumor-associated autoantibodies is related tO antigens.The screening rate through serum tumor-associated antigen mini-array for the patients with e-sophageal and gastric cardia carcinoma and precancerous lesions has been increased apparently with combined analy-sis of multiple autoantibodies than with single one.

Objective To study the preoperative ultrasonographic parameters and their relationship with age in symptomatic CAS patients with different curative effects of stenting.Methods Fiftyseven symptomatic CAS patients admitted to our hospital for stenting were divided into young age group (n=7),middle age group (n=25),old age group (n=25) according to their age,and into very good curative effect group (n=18),good curative effect group (n=33) and no curative effect group (n=6) according to their postoperative NIHSS score.The carotid ultrasonographic parameters in different groups were compared and analyzed within 3 days before operation.Results A significant difference was found in the ratio of UPT,maximal ER of plaques,PV of stenosis,PI,resistance index (RI),carotid artery stiffness index (SI),distensibility coefficient (Dc) and compliance coefficient (Cc) in different curative effect groups (P＜0.01).The carotid artery SI was significantly higher in old age group than in young age group and middle age group (P＜0.01).A linear regression equation was established between carotid stiffness and age (y=0.075x-1.537,R2 =0.448,F=44.727,P =0.000).Conclusion The ratio of UPT,maximal ER of plaques,PV of stenosis,PI,RI,carotid artery SI,Dc and Cc are different in patients with different curative effects of stenting,and a linear relationship is found between carotid artery SI and age of patients.

The aim of this study is to determine the accuracy of RSI and RFS in the diagnosis of hypopharyngeal reflux （LPR）, the scores of RSI and RFS were compared in different age groups. To explore the RSI and RFS scoring thresholds for diagnosis of LPR in different age groups. From January 2017 to March 2019, 258 patients with suspected LPR in our hospital outpatient clinic completed the RSI and RFS scales. According to their age, 258 patients with RSI>13 and RFS>7 were selected. They were divided into group A （18-<40 years, =86）, group B （40-<60 years, =107） and group C （≥60 years, =65）. The diagnosis was confirmed by 24 h pH-metry. The diagnostic rate, RSI and RFS scores were compared among the three groups. ROC curve was used to analyze the optimal thresholds for the diagnosis of LPR by RSI and RFS scores. Among the three groups, group C had the highest diagnostic rate（93.85%）. There was no significant difference in RFS score among the three groups （>0.05）, RSI score was significantly different （<0.05）, RSI score of group A and group B was higher than that of group C （<0.05）. According to ROC analysis, the best RSI cutoffs for diagnosing LPR in group C was 11, and the area under the ROC curve was 0.866. The RSI score is a good criterion for the diagnosis of LPR. The diagnostic threshold of RSI in elderly patients is different from that in young patients. For elderly patients, the diagnostic threshold for the recommended RSI score is 11.
