Background The quality of occupational health technical services is directly linked to the protection of workers' health rights and the efficacy of occupational disease prevention and control. However, the industry still faces critical challenges: sporadic instances of institutional non-compliance and persistent irregularities in professional practice continue to undermine overall service performance. Objective To assess the current quality status of occupational health technical services in Zhejiang Province and propose countermeasures for quality improvement, providing a scientific basis for policy optimization and service delivery quality enhancement. Methods A total of 69 occupational health technical service institutions in Zhejiang Province that obtained formal accreditation as of April 30, 2024, were sampled, including 3 public institutions and 66 private institutions (comprising 3 formerly Class-A, 28 formerly Class-B, 11 formerly Class-C, and 24 newly certified institutions). Following the Technical Protocol for Quality Monitoring of Occupational Health Technical Service in Zhejiang Province and the Technical Protocol for Proficiency Testing of Occupational Health Detection in Zhejiang Province, a quality assessment task force comprising national and provincial experts was established. Evaluation was conducted across four dimensions: qualification maintenance and compliance, standardization of technical services, authenticity of technical services, and proficiency testing, utilizing a combination of document review, on-site inspections, and technical skill assessments. Results The occupational health technical service institutions in Zhejiang Province were predominantly private entities (82.5%), with significant disparities in overall service quality. The pass rates for qualification maintenance and compliance, technical service standardization, technical service authenticity, and the excellence rate for laboratory proficiency testing were 81.5%, 80.7%, 97.3%, and 90.4%, respectively. Regarding qualification maintenance, the pass rates for "environmental conditions" (49.8%, 56.7%) and "instrumentation and equipment" (58.2%、65.6%) were significantly lower for formerly Class-C and newly certified institutions compared to other categories. In terms of technical standardization, "standardized on-site inspections" recorded the lowest pass rate (67.4%), with newly certified institutions at only 48.0%. Regarding technical service authenticity, formerly Class-C institutions exhibited issues such as missing raw chromatograms for blank samples (85.7% pass rate). In laboratory proficiency testing, public and formerly Class-A institutions achieved 100% excellence rates, but the performance of formerly Class-C and newly certified institutions was comparatively weak; specifically, the failure rate for organic analysis in formerly Class-C institutions reached 20%; the failure rate for dust testing items in newly certified institutions was 10.3%. Conclusion The overall quality of occupational health technical services in Zhejiang Province still requires significant improvement, particularly in basic institutional conditions, the standardization of on-site inspections, and laboratory proficiency in organic and dust analysis. Formerly Class-C and newly certified institutions should be the primary focus of quality management efforts. Differentiated regulatory strategies are recommended, alongside strengthening interim and ex-post supervision to gradually enhance the quality of occupational health technical services across all institutions.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence of human T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV) infection among blood donors in Hunan Province from 2022 to 2024. Methods: A total of 1 830 342 blood donors from 14 prefecture-level blood centers in Hunan Province over the past three years were screened for anti-HTLV-Ⅰ/Ⅱ using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Initially reactive samples were further tested with Line Immunoassay (LIA )/MP-Western blot and RT-PCR nucleic acid test for confirmation. Blood donors confirmed positive for HTLV were tracked and followed up. Results: From 2022 to 2024, the initial ELISA reactive rate for anti-HTLV-I/II among blood donors in Hunan Province was 1.36 per 10 000 (249/1 830 342). The confirmed positive rate was 0.20 per 10 000 (37/1 830 342), accounting for 14.86% of the initially reactive donors. The follow-up success rate for confirmed HTLV-positive blood donors was only 18.92%, while that for HTLV-indeterminate donors was 54.17%. Conclusion: The confirmed HTLV infection rates in Yueyang, Loudi, Shaoyang, Yiyang, and Zhuzhou cities were higher than the provincial (0.20 per 10 000). Chenzhou, Yongzhou, Zhangjiajie, and Xiangxi were identified as low prevalence areas, with an infection rate of 0. The overall follow-up success rate was low, indicating significant difficulties and bottlenecks in follow-up work. The comprehensive screening for HTLV and follow-up studies in Hunan provide valuable data to further improve blood safety testing strategies and risk warning mechanisms.

Aim To identify the underlying target of bullatine A(BA)against rheumatoid arthritis(RA)u-sing limited proteolysis-small molecule mapping(LiP-SMap)drug target proteomics and to provide a scientif-ic basis for clinical application of Aconiti brachypodi Radix in the treatment of RA.Methods LiP-SMap drug target proteomics was employed to perform bioin-formatics analysis for comparing and validating the dif-ferential protein expression after BA intervention.A collagen-induced arthritis(CIA)model was estab-lished in DBA/1 mice using bovine type Ⅱ collagen.The mice were then divided into the CIA model group,methotrexate-positive control group(MTX group),and BA groups(10 mg·kg-1 and 20 mg·kg-1)based on their clinical scores.After drug intervention,the thera-peutic efficacy against RA was assessed by joint index scores and foot thickness measurements.Histopatholog-ical changes in the arthritic joints of CIA mice were e-valuated using hematoxylin and eosin(HE)staining.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was employed to detect inflammatory cytokines interleukin-17(IL-17)and total IgG and IgG3 anti-collagen-spe-cific antibodies levels from the serum of CIA mice.Flow cytometry was used to detect the expression levels of intracellular Th17 cells(IL-17+CD4+T cells)and Th1 cells(IFN-γ+CD4+T cells).Fluorescent quanti-tative PCR was performed to detect the expression of genes related to differential proteins.Results The proteomic analysis identified Serpinb1a as a protein with strong binding affinity to BA,and KEGG enrich-ment analysis indicated IL-17 signaling pathway was a crucial pathway of BA in against RA.BA treatment significantly reduced clinical scores and foot thickness,improved local arthritis symptoms in CIA mice,and al-leviated inflammatory cell infiltration into arthritic joints(P＜0.05).Differential protein validation re-sults showed that BA had strong affinity with Serpinb1a(-5.92 kJ·mol-1)and downregulated the expres-sion of Serpinb1a mRNA.Furthermore,the administra-tion of BA markedly reduced serum IL-17 A levels from CIA mice,inhibited the expression of intracellular IL-17 A and IFN-γ cytokines in splenic CD4+T cells(P＜0.05),and significantly downregulated the transcrip-tional expression of IL-17F(P＜0.05).Conclusion BA exhibits therapeutic effects on collagen-induced arthritis,and its mechanism of action may involve the regulation of Serpinb1a and the IL-17 signaling path-way.

Granulocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells(G-MDSCs)are the principal subsets of myeloid-derived suppressor cells(MDSCs),which involved in development and progression of a variety of tumor and non-tumor diseases.G-MDSCs mediated disfunction of immune effector cells(such as T cells and NK cells)through producing Arg-1,ROS,iNOS,etc.is major cause of its immunosuppressive function.To date,a large number of studies have focused on tumor-promoting effects of G-MDSCs.However,their complex immunomodulatory functions,especially their positive effects in diseases such as autoimmune arthritis,are often overlooked.Besides,G-MDSCs share the same origin and phenotype with neutrophils,but their immune functions are heterogeneous.Therefore,precision of G-MDSCs targeted therapy will be largely improved if the two can be accurately distinguished,though this field is still under exploration.At present,there are abundant experimental studies on G-MDSCs at home and abroad,mainly in tumors,but there are no domestic reports on the immunomodulatory function of G-MDSCs in tumors and non-tumor diseases.Therefore,in this review,we summarizes the different roles played by G-MDSCs in tumor and non-tumor diseases,in order to reveal the important and complex functions of G-MDSCs in immune regulation.

Objective:To construct a competency-oriented assessment index system based on entrustable professional activities (EPAs) for 5-year undergraduate clinical medical students in oncology internship.Methods:From June to December 2023, the scoping review approach and Bicomb 2.0 were used to construct and manage an item pool. The draft of EPAs and competencies was designed based on truncated word frequency. SPSS 25.0 was used for cluster analysis and UCINET 6.0 was used for visualization. Combining the characteristics and consensus of oncology, a multi-center expert group used the KJ method to draft the framework of EPAs and competencies. Subsequently, the expert group defined milestones and mapped the milestones to the framework to establish the assessment system.Results:Based on 26 included studies, a draft was created containing 19 EPA indicators and 72 competency characteristic indicators. After cluster analysis, 13 experts from 6 medical institutions established a framework including 13 EPAs and 10 competencies as well as 50 milestones, leading to the construction of the "EPAs-competencies-milestones" assessment system.Conclusions:The "EPAs-competencies-milestones" assessment system aligns with the trend of reform, demonstrating universality, specificity, and scientificity. It provides a reference for the development and assessment of oncology internship courses in medical universities.

Objective To analyze the association between plasma circulating tumor DNA(ctDNA)TP53 mutation status and survival outcomes in breast cancer patients.Methods PubMed,Embase,and the Cochrane Library were searched for relevant literature published between 2000 and 2025,examining the impact of plasma ctDNA TP53 mutations on survival outcomes in breast cancer patients,including overall survival(OS),progression-free survival(PFS),or disease-free survival(DFS).Two researchers independently screened the literature according to predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria and extracted relevant data.The Newcastle-Ottawa scale and Cochrane Risk of Bias Assessment Tool were used to evaluate study quality.Meta-analysis,publication bias assessment,and sensitivity analysis were performed using Review Manager 5.3 and STATA 18.0 software.Results A total of 14 studies(13 cohort studies and 1 randomized controlled trial)in-volving 3521 breast cancer patients were included,among whom 921 had TP53 mutations.All studies were as-sessed as high-quality or low-risk.The random-effects model demonstrated that TP53 mutations were significantly associated with poorer OS(I2=77%,HR=1.82,95%CI:1.15-2.88,P=0.010),PFS(I2=63%,HR=1.68,95%CI:1.30-2.17,P＜0.001),and DFS(I2=85%,HR=1.98,95%CI:1.05-3.75,P=0.040).Funnel plots indicated no significant publication bias,and sensitivity analysis confirmed the stabil-ity and reliability of the results.Subgroup analyses based on study design,breast cancer stage and molecular subtype revealed that TP53 mutations were associated with worse prognosis in prospective studies(OS:HR=2.32,95%CI:1.84-2.92,P＜0.001;PFS:HR=1.83,95%CI:1.47-2.27,P＜0.001),metastatic/ad-vanced breast cancer(OS:HR=2.03,95%CI:1.44-2.87,P＜0.001;PFS:HR=1.90,95%CI:1.57-2.31,P＜0.001),and hormone receptor-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative(HR+HER2-)patients(OS:HR=2.11,95%CI:1.56-2.85,P＜0.001;PFS:HR=1.94,95%CI:1.62-2.33,P＜0.001).Among different treatment regimens,patients with TP53 mutations receiving trastuzumab combined with paclitaxel exhibited relatively better prognosis(PFS:HR=0.08,95%CI:0.02-0.30,P＜0.001).Conclusion Plasma ctDNA TP53 mutations are closely associated with survival outcomes in breast cancer patients and may serve as a potential predictor of poor prognosis,providing support for clinical manage-ment and prognostic assessment.

Objective To investigate the value of gemstone spectral CT multiparameter for risk assessment in acute pulmonary embolism(APE).Methods A total of 83 patients diagnosed with APE were categorized into three groups based on the European Society of Cardiology(ESC)guidelines:high-risk group(n=23),medium-high-risk group(n=29),and medium-low-risk group(n=31).The spectral CT multiparameters for each group were subsequently analyzed and compared.The predictive value of the region of interest perfusion defect iodine group value(ROI vPD),whole lung mean perfusion iodine group value(vMeanIP),and lung perfusion defect volume ratio(rPDvol)in high-risk APE patients were assessed using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves.Pearson correlation was employed to analyze the correlation of gemstone spectral CT multiparameter with pulmonary artery obstruction index(PAOI)and right ventricle/left ventricle diameter ratio(rRVD/LVD).Results Whole lung minimum perfusion iodine group value(vMinIP),whole lung maximum perfusion iodine group value(vMaxIP),vMeanIP,rPDvol and right ventricle/left ventricle volume ratio(rRVV/LVV)exhibited significant differences across all groups.The area under the curve(AUC)for ROI vPD,vMeanIP,and rPDvol in high-risk APE patients were 0.792,0.831,and 0.884,respectively.The sensitivity and specificity for ROI vPD(≤0.3),vMeanIP(≤1.1),and rPDvol(≥23.7％)were recorded at 95.7％and 60.0％,78.3％and 75.0％,as well as 91.3％and 75.0％,respectively.Simultaneously,the gemstone spectral CT multiparameter exhibited correlations with PAOI and rRVD/LVD.Conclusion The gemstone spectral CT multiparameter can be utilized to evaluate the severity and progression of patients with APE.

Patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms(MPNs)are at risk of developing solid tumors.Although the connection between MPN and solid tumors has been widely discussed,the cause remains to be explored.Some studies show that the MPN is considered to trigger a second cancer,but others suggest both diseases seem to share the same origin.In recent years,more and more studies have found that genetic susceptibility,drugs,chronic inflammation,immune function abnormalities and clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential are related to the development of second cancers.In this review,we try to summarize the new advances of biological characteristics and pathogenesis of second cancers in MPNs.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of complete pelvic floor peritoneal reconstruction in reducing postoperative ileus incidence and accelerating recovery following laparoscopic radical cystectomy with orthotopic neobladder construction.Methods A retrospective study was conducted to select 62 patients who underwent the operation in Qujing Hospital Affiliated to Kunming Medical University from January 2017 to September 2024.According to whether complete pelvic floor peritoneal reconstruction was performed during the operation,they were divided into the conventional group(n=25)and the reconstruction group(n=37).Postoperative ileus rates and recovery parameters were compared to assess the clinical value of complete pelvic floor peritoneal reconstruction.Results The reconstruction group showed better postoperative recovery compared to the routine group:gastrointestinal function recovery time[3(2,4)d vs 4(3,5)d,P=0.032],abdominal drainage time[12(10,13.5)d vs 14(12,15)d,P=0.006],pelvic drainage time[12(9,13.5)d vs 14(11,16)d,P=0.015],postoperative hospital stay[18(15.5,26)d vs 25(17,30.5)d,P=0.016],and hospital expenses[(53,695.67±10,182.43)yuan vs(60,803.73±14,449.24)yuan,P=0.027].Postoperative nutritional markers,including total protein[(64.49±6.82)g/L vs.(61.56±4.03)g/L,P=0.038]and albumin[(36.08±5.29)g/L vs.(33.40±3.57)g/L,P=0.020],were higher in the reconstruction group.No significant difference was found in ileus incidence(44.00%vs.32.43%,P=0.355).Other parameters—baseline characteristics,postoperative globulin and prealbumin levels,gastric tube retention,stent/catheter removal time,and complications(anastomotic leakage,urinary fistula,wound infection)—showed no intergroup differences(P>0.05).Conclusion The application of complete pelvic floor peritoneal reconstruction technique in laparoscopic radical cystectomy with orthotonic neobladder provides better protection for the intestine,reduces surgical area adhesions,promotes gastrointestinal function recovery,shortens abdominal and pelvic drainage times,accelerates patient rehabilitation,reduces hospital stay and expenses.However,whether it can effectively reduce postoperative intestinal obstruction rates still requires more data and experimental verification.

Objective: To investigate the current status and trends of depressive symptoms among middle school and college students in Hunan Province, and to explore the primary related factors of depressive symptoms, so as to provide a scientific basis for strengthening mental health among students. Methods: A total of 279 382 students in Hunan Province were selected through a stratified cluster random sampling method from 2021 to 2023. National Survey Questionnaire on Common Diseases and Health Influencing Factors among Students was adopted for the survey, and the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale was used to assess their depressive symptoms. The χ 2 test and trend χ 2 test were used to analyze depressive symptoms prevalence and trends, and multivariable Logistic regression was used to analyze the related factors of depressive symptoms. Results: The prevalence of depressive symptoms among students in Hunan Province from 2021 to 2023 were 19.66%, 20.17% and 21.47%, respectively, showing an upward trend ( χ 2 trend =9.07, P <0.01). In addition, the results of the multivariable Logistic regression analysis showed that students with healthy diet ( OR=0.43, 95%CI =0.40-0.45), adequate sleep ( OR=0.88, 95%CI =0.86-0.90), and acceptable screen time ( OR=0.61, 95%CI =0.60-0.62) had lower risks in depressive symptoms detection, while students with smoking ( OR= 1.95, 95%CI =1.88-2.02), secondhand smoke exposure ( OR=1.33, 95%CI =1.30-1.36) and Internet addiction ( OR= 4.19 , 95%CI =4.05-4.34) had higher risks in depressive symptoms detection, with differences in the degree of association among different genders, educational stages and urban rural groups ( OR=0.40-6.04, Z =-12.69-11.98) ( P <0.05). Conclusions There is an increasing trend of depressive symptoms among middle school and college students in Hunan Province from 2021 to 2023.Targeted depression prevention measures should be taken for students with different demographic characteristics to promote their mental health.
