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.

The c-Jun N-terminal kinase （JNK） signaling pathway， a key member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK） family， plays a central role in the pathogenesis and progression of central nervous system （CNS） diseases by regulating core biological processes such as apoptosis， inflammatory responses， synaptic plasticity， and autophagy. This article sorts out and analyzes relevant literature published domestically and internationally in recent years， summarizing the mechanisms of action of the JNK signaling pathway in common CNS diseases and the research progress in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） interventions in CNS diseases through the regulation of the JNK signaling pathway. Studies have shown that active components of TCM， such as berberine， paeoniflorin， and astragaloside Ⅳ， as well as compound formulations like Heixiaoyao san， Ditan tang， and Buyang huanwu tang， can exert neuroprotective effects in various CNS disorders， including Alzheimer’s disease， Parkinson’s disease， cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury， and epilepsy， by inhibiting the aberrant activation of the JNK signaling pathway， thereby alleviating neuroinflammation， oxidative stress， and neuronal apoptosis， while improving synaptic function and cognitive behavioral deficits， regulating autophagy， and maintaining blood-brain barrier integrity.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the prenatal and postnatal phenotypes of 22q11.2 microdeletion syndrome (22q11.2DS) and enhance clinical understanding of this condition. METHODS: Data were collected from 86 fetuses diagnosed with 22q11.2DS at four prenatal diagnostic centers across China between January 2014 and August 2025. Prenatal imaging findings, pregnancy outcomes, and postnatal conditions were analyzed. RESULTS: Among the 86 fetuses, complete ultrasound data were available for 65 cases. Cardiovascular abnormalities were observed in 42 cases, thymic hypoplasia or aplasia in 7 cases, urinary system anomalies in 6 cases, nuchal translucency (NT) thickening in 7 cases, butterfly vertebrae, clubfoot, omphalocele and diaphragmatic hernia in 1 case each, cleft lip and palate in 2 cases, and ultrasound soft markers in 13 cases. The parents of 9 fetuses opted to continue with the pregnancy. Among these, 6 showed no significant ultrasound abnormalities and no related phenotypes postnatally, while the remaining 3 exhibited ultrasound anomalies with postnatal manifestations including developmental delay, immunodeficiency, and cardiac defects. CONCLUSION Fetuses with 22q11.2DS may exhibit various ultrasound abnormalities in multiple systems before and after birth. In addition to cardiovascular anomalies, they may also present with thymic hypoplasia or aplasia, thickened NT, and urinary abnormalities. Fetuses with thickened NT or thymic anomalies should be closely monitored, and thymic assessment should be included in routine prenatal imaging evaluations. For fetuses with 22q11.2DS who show no ultrasound abnormalities, the risk of developing severe phenotypes after birth is relatively low, but occult palate clefts and psychiatric disorders cannot be ruled out. Due to limitations in sample size and follow-up duration, above conclusions require further validation through large-scale prospective studies.

Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors of male genitourinary system. Prostate cancer has the following characteristics： insidious onset， early asymptomatic or not obvious symptoms， complex etiology and pathogenesis， long incubation period and so on. Therefore， the realization of its early diagnosis and treatment is of great significance to the prognosis of patients. Prostate-specific membrane antigen （PSMA） is a type 2 transmembrane glycoprotein that is highly expressed on the membrane of almost all primary and metastatic prostate cancer cells， and is an ideal target for prostate cancer imaging and treatment. In recent years， with the approval of urea-containing small molecule PET （positron emission computed tomography） radiopharmaceutical based on PSMA （⁶⁸Ga-PSMA-11， ¹⁸F-PSMA-1007）， PET-CT （positron emission computed tomography/computed tomography） has shown new potential for early diagnosis and accurate staging of prostate cancer patients. This review mainly summarizes the research progress of urea-containing PSMA PET imaging agents and finds that they have defects such as uptake in non-target tissues like the kidneys， lacrimal glands， and salivary glands. Thus， further optimizing their structure to reduce the uptake in non-target tissues， providing provide convenience for the labeling of therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals， thereby achieving the goal of integrated diagnosis and treatment， is an important development direction in this field.

Objective To explore the application value of different Trocar layouts in retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for localized renal cell carcinoma, so as to provide reference for the layout of Trocar during operation. Methods The data of 137 patients with localized renal cell carcinoma who underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy in our hospital during Sep. 2021 and Sep. 2024 were retrospectively collected, including 68 patients with umbrella layout(umbrella group)and 69 with trapezoidal layout(trapezoidal group). The operation-related indexes, renal function(glomerular filtration rate, serum creatinine), traumatic stress indexes including C-reactive protein(CRP), cortisol, and interleukin-6(IL-6), complications and recurrence rate were compared between the two groups. Results There were no significant differences in pathological results, negative rate of surgical margins, hospitalization time, complications, 1-year recurrence rate, 6-month glomerular filtration rate and serum creatinine between the two groups(P＞0.05). Compared with the trapezoidal group, the umbrella group had less intraoperative blood loss [(72.11±18.30)mL vs.(87.59±20.63)mL], shorter operation time [(88.15±16.92)min vs.(99.40±20.78)min], renal warm ischemia time [(14.68±4.60)vs.(19.27±6.11)min], bowel sound recovery time [(21.00±5.75)h vs.(25.78±4.89)h] and ambulation time [(1.72±0.48)d vs.(2.04±0.55)d](P＜0.05). The umbrella group had lower CRP [(10.02±2.78)mg/ L vs.(12.00±3.15)mg/ L] on the first day after surgery, lower CRP [(7.89±0.76)vs.(8.77±1.25)mg/L] on the third day after surgery, lower cortisol [(0.67±0.20)μmol/L vs.(0.89±0.28)μmol/L] on the first day after surgery, lower cortisol [(0.58±0.15)μmol/L vs.(0.69±0.12)μmol/L] on the third day after surgery, lower IL-6 [(28.20±6.74)ng/L vs.(35.16±7.30)ng/L] on the first day after surgery, and lower IL-6[(21.25±5.39)ng/L vs.(29.78±4.26)ng/L] on the third day after surgery(P＜0.05). Conclusion Compared with the trapezoidal Trocar layout, the umbrella Trocar layout for retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy in patients with localized renal cell carcinoma offers advantages such as minimal surgical trauma, shorter operation and renal warm ischemia time, and faster postoperative recovery.

Morinda officinalis is one of the “Four Great Southern Medicines” and is commonly used in clinical practice to treat erectile dysfunction and nocturnal emissions caused by kidney yang deficiency， uterine cold infertility， menstrual disorders， low abdominal pain， rheumatism， and muscle and bone weakness. Based on the principle of “treating raw and cooked differently”， this article summarizes the effects of different processing methods on the chemical constituents and pharmacological effects of M. officinalis . Research has found that processing can affect the content and structure of sugars， iridoids， and anthraquinones in M. officinalis ， thereby regulating its pharmacological effects such as anti-osteoporosis， immune regulation， anti-fatigue， and anti-depression. Among them， salt M. officinalis shows outstanding performance in anti-osteoporosis and enhancing immunity. Although previous studies have preliminarily elucidated the major chemical constituents of M. officinalis and their pharmacological characteristics， the dynamic transformation paths of constituents during the processing remain to be further clarified， especially the es tablishment of a quality marker system associated with the processing technology， to achieve the precision and intelligent development of the processing.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of different pathogen detection methods in active tuberculosis (ATB) of kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) and analyze their diagnostic value in different types of clinical specimens. Methods A retrospective observational study was conducted, including adult KTRs with suspected ATB from the Eighth Medical Center of Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital from January 2020 to January 2025. Baseline data of the recipients were collected and analyzed, and the diagnostic criteria were based on a composite reference standard (including clinical diagnosis and bacteriological confirmation). The single-detection efficacy of acid-fast staining smear, mycobacterium tuberculosis culture, Xpert test for the detection of mycobacterium tuberculosis nucleic acid and resistance to rifampicin (Xpert MTB/RIF), as well as tuberculosis or non-tuberculosis mycobacterial DNA detection was compared. The differences in sensitivity among different methods were analyzed. Results A total of 95 KTRs with suspected ATB and 136 specimens were included. And 52 cases were diagnosed as ATB, among which 48 cases were confirmed by bacteriological means (92%). The sensitivity of Xpert MTB/RIF and DNA detection (0.55 and 0.52, respectively) was significantly higher than that of acid-fast staining smear (0.30) and mycobacterium tuberculosis culture (0.35) (P < 0.01). There was a statistically significant difference in the bacteriological diagnosis rate among different specimen types (P = 0.035). The detection sensitivity of each method was the highest in pus, puncture tissue and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, followed by sputum and pleural and abdominal effusions, and the lowest in cerebrospinal fluid. Conclusions The sensitivity of nucleic acid amplification technology for immunosuppressed KTRs is slightly reduced, but it should still be recommended as the preferred initial screening tool. The comprehensive strategy of "multi-site sampling (prior to obtaining high bacterial load specimens) combined with multiple method detection" may improve the diagnostic efficacy.

ObjectiveTo investigate the risk factors for rebleeding after endoscopic therapy for esophageal and gastric varices in liver cirrhosis patients， to construct a clinical predictive model， and to provide a reference for predicting rebleeding in the early stage， reducing the incidence rate of rebleeding， and improving the clinical outcome of patients. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 194 liver cirrhosis patients with gastroesophageal variceal bleeding who received initial endoscopic therapy at Department of Gastroenterology， The Second People’s Hospital of Lanzhou， from January 1， 2021 to May 31， 2025. According to whether rebleeding occurred within 1 year after endoscopic therapy， the patients were divided into rebleeding group and non-rebleeding group. The independent-samples t test or the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups， and the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. The patients enrolled were randomly divided into a training set and a validation set at a ratio of 7∶3. In the training set， the Lasso regression analysis was used to obtain optimal predictive variables， and the factors that might affect prognosis were included in the univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses to identify independent predictive factors for rebleeding after endoscopic therapy for esophageal and gastric varices in liver cirrhosis patients， which were used to construct a nomogram model. In both the training set and the validation set， the receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve and the calibration curve were used to assess the discriminatory ability and calibration of the model， and decision curve analysis and the clinical impact curve were used to assess the clinical practicability of the model. ResultsAmong the 194 liver cirrhosis patients with esophageal and gastric varices， 116 （59.79%） experienced rebleeding within 1 year after endoscopic therapy， with 76 patients in the training set and 40 patients in the validation set. In the training set， the Lasso regression analysis and the univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses showed that etiology of liver cirrhosis （odds ratio ［OR］=3.540， 95% confidence interval ［CI］： 1.520 — 7.150， P<0.001）， Child-Pugh class （OR=3.560， 95%CI： 1.380 — 9.500， P=0.019）， severity of esophageal and gastric varices （OR=8.190， 95%CI： 3.568 — 17.850， P=0.026）， and main portal vein diameter （OR=2.954， 95%CI： 1.349 — 15.030， P=0.044） were independent predictive factors for rebleeding of esophageal and gastric varices in liver cirrhosis patients. A nomogram model was constructed based on the above independent predictive factors. The ROC curve analysis showed that this model had an area under the ROC curve of 0.845 （95%CI： 0.778 — 0.912） in the training set and 0.801 （95%CI： 0.798 — 0.868） in the validation set. The model had an index of concordance of 0.832 in the training set and 0.820 in the validation set， suggesting that the model had a good discriminatory ability. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed P values of 0.320 and 0.550 in the training set and validation set， respectively， the calibration curve indicated that the predicted probabilities of the nomogram model were in good concordance with the actual observed probabilities， suggesting that the model had good calibration. The decision curve analysis and the clinical impact curve showed that the model had good clinical utility. ConclusionThe nomogram model based on etiology of liver cirrhosis， Child-Pugh class， severity of esophageal and gastric varices， and main portal vein diameter has a certain clinical value in predicting the risk of rebleeding from esophageal and gastric varices in liver cirrhosis.

ObjectiveTo systematically elucidate the accumulation characteristics of secondary metabolites in the stems and leaves of Panax ginseng with different stem colors. MethodsUltra-high-performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole-tandem mass spectrometry （UHPLC-QqQ-MS） was employed to determine the of 22 ginsenosides in the stems and leaves of 2- to 5-year-old P. ginseng plants with green and purple stems. Principal component analysis （PCA）， orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis （OPLS-DA）， and one-way analysis of variance （ANOVA） were performed to explore the distribution patterns of ginsenosides from three dimensions： tissue distribution， growth duration， and stem color. Results① Tissue distribution： Leaves served as the primary organ for ginsenoside accumulation， exhibiting significantly higher total ginsenoside content than stems， which indicated distinct tissue-specific distribution of ginsenosides. ② Growth duration： Ginsenoside levels in stems generally peaked in the 2-year-old plants before stabilizing， while those in leaves displayed a declining-rebounding pattern， indicating that the 2-year-old plants （harvest stage） was a critical time point for the resurgence of leaf ginsenosides. ③ Stem color： A stage-specific correlation was observed between stem color and ginsenoside accumulation. In stems， the early-growth stage （2-year-old） of purple-stemmed plants exhibited higher content of specific ginsenosides （e.g.， ginsenoside Rk₁ and notoginsenoside R₁）， which may be associated with its stronger early-stage stress resistance. In leaves， the content of core ginsenosides （e.g.， ginsenosides Re and Rd） in 5-year-old plants with green stems showed a surpassing trend， demonstrating higher potential of resource development. ConclusionThe accumulation of ginsenosides in P. ginseng stems and leaves is multidimensionally regulated by tissue type， growth duration， and stem color phenotypes. Purple-stemmed plants exhibit early-stage specific ginsenoside accumulation and stress resistance potential， whereas green-stemmed plants are more advantageous for core leaf ginsenoside development at the harvest stage. The findings confirm that aboveground stem color can serve as a biomarker for directed breeding and efficient resource utilization of P. ginseng.
