China Occupational Medicine.2020;47(02):186-195. doi:10.11763/j.issn.2095-2619.2020.02.012

OBJECTIVE: To explore the correlation between the cognition on hearing protection and mental health status of noise-exposed workers. METHODS: A total of 499 noise-exposed workers from 3 enterprises of coal mine, steel and textile in Xinjiang region were selected as study subjects by stratified cluster random sampling method. The cognitive status of hearing protection and mental health status of each group were investigated by the Workplace Health Promotion Pilot Project Questionnaire. RESULTS: A total of 235 workers had abnormal mental health status.The abnormal rate of mental health status was 47.1%(235/499). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that female, age ≤40.0 years, unable to bear current noise hazards, worried about noise-induced-deafness and noise-induced discomfort were the risk factors of abnormality of mental health status(odds ratio values were 1.62, 1.87, 2.42, 2.20, 2.14, P<0.05). Using hearing protectors for ≥3.0 years was the protective factor of abnormality of mental health status(odds ratio value was 0.47, P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The subjective cognition on hearing protection has an impact on the mental health of noise-exposed workers.

China Occupational Medicine.2020;47(02):190-195. doi:10.11763/j.issn.2095-2619.2020.02.013

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the interventional effect of the Chinese herbal preparation Xi Fu Pai Chen(XFPC) on pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis in rats with silicosis. METHODS: A total of 144 adult specific pathogen free male SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups: blank control group, silicosis model group, drug administration control group and groups of low-dose,medium-dose and high-dose XFPC, with 24 rats in each group. Lung silicosis model was established by single inhalation tracheal instillation method, which was treated with 50.0 g/L silica suspension, in groups except in the blank control group. On the 7 th day of modeling, the rats in the drug administration control group were orally given tetrandrine(5 mg/kg body weight), while those in the low-, medium-and high-dose groups were given 43, 86 and 192 g/L of XFPC by atomization inhalation once a day for 20 minutes, 5 days a week for 4 weeks. At the end of drug administration, the histopathological changes of the lung were observed. The number and classification of cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)were examined, and the levels of malondialdehyde(MDA) and interferon-gamma(IFN-γ) in BALF were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS: On the 7 th day after modeling, the body weight in the drug administration control group and XFPC high-dose group decreased compared with the blank control group(P<0.05). On the 35 th day after modeling, the body weights of rats in the other 5 groups were lower than that in the blank control group(P<0.05). The pathological changes of lung tissue(infiltration of inflammatory cells, fibrosis and size of silicon nodule) in drug administration control group and XFPC low-dose group were better than those in silicosis model group by naked eyes and under light microscope. The lung coefficient, the proportion of neutrophils and the level of MDA and IFN-γ in BALF of the drug administration control group and XFPC low-dose group decreased(P<0.05), and the proportion of macrophages in BALF increased(P<0.05) compared with the silicosis model group. There was no significant difference in lung coefficients and the relevant indices of BALF between XFPC medium-, high-dose groups and silicosis model group(P>0.05). CONCLUSION: Low dosage XFPC can improve pulmonary fibrosis and inflammation in rats with silicosis, and its mechanism of action may be related to reducing the levels of IFN-γ and MDA in BALF.

Fujiang WANG ; Yidan DONG ; MAIMAITI NAZHAKAITI ; Xu JIN ; Zhongbin ZHANG ; Shanfa YU ; Lihua HE

China Occupational Medicine.2020;47(03):241-246. doi:10.11763/j.issn.2095-2619.2020.03.001

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prevalence of lower extremity work-related musculoskeletal disorders(WMSDs) among manufacturing workers, and to explore the association of lower extremity WMSDs and different types of working. METHODS: A total of 7 908 workers were selected as study subjects from four manufacturing factories in China using the cluster sampling method. The Musculoskeletal Disorders Investigating Questionnaire was adopted to investigate the prevalence of lower extremity WMSDs and the distribution of types of working. The prevalence ratio(PR) of WMSDs, calculated by log-binomial model, was used to estimate the correlation of WMSDs in different parts of lower extremity. The multi-factor logistic regression was used to analyze the association of lower extremity WMSDs and different types of working. RESULTS: The total annual prevalence of lower extremity WMSDs was 41.0%(3 241/7 908) among manufacturing workers. The annual prevalence of WMSDs of different parts in lower extremity from high to low were knee(29.5%), ankle/foot(23.9%) and hip/thigh(16.7%). The correlation of WMSDs of the three parts in lower extremity was close, and the range of PR values was 2.21-3.88. The result of logistic regression analysis showed that the workers who frequently sat for long periods had higher risk of lower extremity WMSDs than those who never/rarely sat for long periods(odds ratio=1.39, P<0.01). The higher the frequency of standing, kneeling/squatting for long periods, carrying heavy loads ≥5 kg and driving, the higher the risk of lower extremity WMSDs(the odds ratios were 1.33, 1.41, 1.16 and 1.12, respectively, P<0.01). CONCLUSION: The prevalence of lower extremity WMSDs was relatively high among manufacturing workers. There is a dose-effect relationship between the types of working and lower extremity WMSDs.

China Occupational Medicine.2020;47(03):247-252. doi:10.11763/j.issn.2095-2619.2020.03.002

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders(WMSDs) among dentists and explore its influencing factors. METHODS: A total of 455 dentists from 9 medical organizations of Beijing and Fuzhou cities were selected as study subjects. The disease occurrence and mental workload were investigated using China Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire and Subjective Workload Assessment Technique. The influencing factors of WMSDs were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS: The total prevalence of WMSDs was 58.9%(268/455) among dentists. The top three body parts of WMSDs were neck(41.5%), shoulder(33.6%) and lower back(28.1%). The median of mental workload score was 58. Multivariate logistic regression analysis results indicated that female dentists showed a higher risk than male dentists(P<0.01) after excluding the influence of confounding factors. The higher the length of service, the higher their risk for WMSDs(P<0.01). Dentists who hold their heads sideways for long time, bent frequently, and use vibrating tools had relatively high risks of developing WMSDs(P<0.01). Dentists who use armchairs had a relatively low risk of WMSDs(P<0.01). There was no correlation between the mental workload and the prevalence of WMSDs in dentists(P>0.05). CONCLUSION: The prevalence of WMSDs among dentists is high. Individual factors, awkward posture and using vibrating tools are risk factors of WMSDs among dentists.Armchair use can help reduce the risk of WMSDs.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of multi-site work-related musculoskeletal disorders(WMSDs) among workers in the industry of electronic equipment manufacturing. METHODS: A total of 815 workers in three factories of electronic equipment manufacturing in Guangdong Province were selected as study subjects by convenience sampling. The prevalence of multi-site WMSDs in the past year was investigated using Musculoskeletal Disorders Investigating Questionnaire and the influencing factors were analyzed. RESULTS: The total prevalence of WMSDs was 69.4%(566/815). The prevalence of multi-site WMSDs was 54.5%(444/815), and the prevalence of one-site WMSDs was 15.0%(122/815). Multiple logistic regression showed that female workers had higher prevalence of multi-site WMSDs than males [odds radio(OR) and 95% confidence interval(CI): 1.59(1.12-2.26), P<0.05]. The prevalence of multi-site WMSDs in left-handed workers was lower than that of right-handed workers [OR(95% CI): 0.42(0.19-0.91), P<0.05]. The longer service of current position and the more neck forward movement, the higher prevalence of multi-site WMSDs [OR(95% CI) were 1.33(1.09-1.63) and 1.62(1.23-2.15), P<0.01]. The workers who had long-time sitting at work, adopted uncomfortable working posture, could decide when to work on their own, kept head down for a long time, or often bending wrists up/down had higher prevalence of multi-site WMSDs [OR(95% CI) were 1.41(1.16-1.73), 1.82(1.40-2.38), 1.79(1.16-2.75), 1.92(1.38-2.69) and 1.60(1.14-2.24), respectively, P<0.01]. The workers who could take turns with colleagues to finish work or had enough rest time had lower prevalence of multi-site WMSDs [OR(95% CI): 0.57(0.41-0.78) and 0.67(0.48-0.92), P<0.05]. The workers who worked >10 h per day had lower prevalence of multi-site WMSDs than those who worked ≤8 h per day [OR(95% CI): 0.57(0.37-0.87), P<0.05]. CONCLUSION: Multi-site WMSDs were more common than one-site WMSDs among workers in the industry of electronic equipment manufacturing, and the prevalence of multi-site WMSDs was high.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of ergonomic factor load on work-related musculoskeletal disorders(WMSDs) in shipyard workers. METHODS: A total of 751 shipyard workers were selected as the research subjects using judgment sampling method. The exposure level of adverse ergonomic factors was assessed using the Quick Exposure Check method. The prevalence of WMSDs was investigated using the revised Musculoskeletal Disorders Investigating Questionnaire of our research group, and the relationship between them was analyzed. RESULTS: The proportions of high or very high level of work load exposure to the neck, back, shoulder and hand in shipyard workers from high to low were 66.4%, 63.5%, 59.8% and 43.7%(P<0.01) respectively. The proportions of occupational stress, driving, vibration and working rhythm at high or very high exposure level were 20.0%, 4.1%, 22.9% and 3.2%, respectively. The prevalence of WMSDs in four body parts of shipyard workers from high to low was the back, neck, hand and shoulder(the prevalence were 44.2%, 31.2%, 26.9% and 26.6%, respectively, P<0.01). After excluding the influence of confounding factors, multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the higher the labor load exposure level and longer of the vibration tool using, the higher the risk of shoulder WMSDs [odds ratio(OR) and 95% confidence interval(CI) were 1.25(1.04-1.51) and 1.33(1.05-1.69), respectively, P<0.05]. The higher the level of occupational stress, the higher the risk of back and neck WMSDs [OR(95%CI) was 1.29(1.05-1.58) and 1.42(1.15-1.77), respectively, P<0.05]. CONCLUSION: There was a dose-effect relationship between the exposure level of shoulder load, the time of using vibration tools and the shoulder WMSDs, and there was a dose-effect relationship between the occupational stress level and the WMSDs in the back and neck.

Description

China Occupational Medicine is a medical academic journal directed by the National Health and Family Planning Commission of the People’s Republic of China, sponsored by Chinese Preventive Medicine Association and South-China Prevention and Treatment Center for Industrial Hygiene & Occupational Diseases, and edited and published by editorial office of China Occupational Medicine. For now, the occupational disease problem is the major public health problem and social problem of the world. Occupational diseases have been breaking out around the world, especially in China. The question is mainly reflected that the total number of occupational disease patients has increased enormously with significant morbidity. The occupational disease group incidents occurred frequently with the irreversible economic loss and bad social influence. It has become a significant problem hampering social stability. The occupational disease prevention and treatment is always the bottleneck problem and difficulty of public health. Therefore, the medical journals in the field of occupational disease prevention and treatment play an important carrier on spreading relevant knowledge, and play an important role in the cause of occupational disease prevention and treatment in China and across the globe. China Occupational Medicine started its publication in 1974. It is one of the Core Journals of China and one of the Source Journals for Chinese Scientific and Technical Papers and Citations, which is issued domestically and externally (ISSN 2095-2619, CN 44-1484/R). Now, there are about 15 kinds of journals reported on the field of occupational disease prevention and treatment in China. China Occupational Medicine is one of the oldest and the most influential journals with the highest core impact factor. China Occupational Medicine, which is known for its scientific, innovative and practical characteristics, focuses on scientific research reports about new results, new progress, new technology and new experience about occupational medicine, occupational health, occupational disease prevention and treatment, and related disciplines. The columns include original articles, research & practice, occupational diseases clinic, methods of inspection & test, supervision & management, discussions about criteria, reviews, lectures, experience sharing, summaries, etc. The contents include the following six aspects: I. Research articles and experience summary about influence to people’s health by hazardous factors due to occupational diseases, labor protection and safety technology, monitoring and inspection, etc; II. Survey reports about occupational epidemiology; Study and develop criteria for occupational health and diagnosis of occupational diseases, lectures, opinions and suggestions about the current criteria; III. Study on clinical diagnosis, case analysis, emergency treatments or pathology of occupational diseases; Experimental study of toxicology about the hazardous factors of occupational diseases, e.g. dusts, chemical substances, physical factors; IV. Commentary articles which is of guiding significance, summaries, special lectures and lecture series about internal and foreign literature which are of reference value; Experience of disease investigation and disease prevention related to occupations in the factories and mines; V. Experience about supervision and management about occupational health and occupational diseases; VI.
