Objective: To investigate the occupational health status of medical radiation workers in Hangzhou City, so as to provide the basis for their occupational health risk assessment. Methods: Data on medical radiological workers who underwent occupational health examinations from 2021 to 2022 were collected through the Physical Examination Information Management System of the Hangzhou Occupational Disease Prevention and Control Hospital. The physical examination data including blood routine, eye lens, thyroid ultrasound, thyroid function, liver function, renal function and blood lipid were collected, and the abnormal rates of occupational health examinations among workers with different genders, working years and occupational exposure types were analyzed. Results: A total of 3 968 medical radiation workers were investigated, including 2 310 males (58.22%) and 1 658 females (41.78%). There were 2 039 (51.39%), 821 (20.69%) and 1 108 (27.92%) workers with 1-<6, 6-<10 years and 10 years and above of work, respectively. Diagnostic radiology was the predomenant type of exposure, with 2 240 workers accounting for 56.45%. The abnormal rates of thyroid ultrasound and blood lipid were 47.73% and 45.21%, respectively, which were relatively higher than other items. The abnormal rates of micronucleus rate, thyroid ultrasound, thyroid function and renal function were higher in females than in males, while the abnormal rates of lymphocyte count, liver function and blood lipid in males were higher in males than in females (all P<0.05). With the increase of working years, the abnormal rates of micronucleus rate and blood lipid showed upward trends (both P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the abnormal rates of thyroid ultrasound, liver function and blood lipid among different occupational exposure types (all P<0.05). Conclusion Long-term low-dose ionizing radiation environment affects the thyroid, micronucleus rate and blood lipid of medical radiation workers in Hangzhou City, with differences observed among workers with different genders and occupational exposure types.

Objective To determine the effect of knee extension constraint training on bilateral knee biomechanics and bilateral symmetry in running after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction(ACLR).Methods A total of 33 male patients with unilateral ACL injuries were randomly assigned to a BRACE group of 14 wearing a brace with limitation of knee extension,a PLACEBO group of 10 wear-ing a brace without limitation of knee extension,and a CONTROL group of 9,wearing no brace.All groups underwent unilateral hamstring-auto graft ACLR surgery,immediately followed by 12-week rou-tine rehabilitation.Between week 13 and 48,both the BRACE and PLACEBO groups wore braces for one hour on Mondays.Then,running biomechanical tests were performed at the ends of Week 12 and Week 48,and the bilateral knee extension/flexion angle,moment and inter-leg difference(ILD)were calculated.One-dimensional statistical parametric mapping(SPM1d)two-way ANOVA with repeated measures on one factor was used to identify differences in bilateral knee biomechanics and ILD among the three groups before and after the intervention.Results There was no significant interaction effect of group and time on bilateral knee flexion angle,knee extension moment,and ILD in running(P>0.05).Moreover,no significant effect of group was found on the bilateral knee biomechanics and ILD in running(P>0.05).Additionally,significant effects of time were observed on bilateral knee flexion angle and extension moment in running.However,bilateral knee flexion angle decreased during termi-nal stance(ACLR leg:89%～100%,P=0.036;non-ACLR leg:94%～100%,P=0.046),while the bi-lateral knee extension moment increased during mid-stance(ACLR leg:17%～59%,P<0.001;non-ACLR leg:38%～61%,P<0.001)between week 12 and 48.Conclusion In this study,no improvement was found in the abnormal knee biomechanics and symmetry during running in male patients after uni-lateral ACL reconstruction through long-term knee extension constraint training.Moreover,within one year after ACL reconstruction,the knee extension moment of the surgical limb increased gradually over time,with no changes in the knee flexion angle of the surgical limb and bilateral knee symme-try,suggesting that abnormal knee biomechanics and bilateral symmetry should be paid attention to in the post-surgery rehabilitation.

[Purpose]To analyze cancer incidence and mortality in Liaoning cancer registration areas from 2016 to 2020 and the trends from 2006 to 2020.[Methods]Cancer data in cancer registra-tion areas in Liaoning Province from 2016 to 2020 were collected.The incidence and mortality,age-standardized rate,cumulative rate(0～74 years old),and age-specific rate were calculated.Age-standardized incidence and mortality rate were calculated by the Chinese standard popula-tion(ASIRC,ASMRC)and Segi world standard population(ASIRW,ASMRW).Joinpoint software was applied to analyze the trends of incidence and mortality.[Results]From 2016 to 2020,the crude incidence rate of cancer in Liaoning cancer registration areas was 422.30/105,the ASIRC and ASIRW were 215.67/105 and 209.52/105.The ASIRC was higher in urban areas(225.00/105)than that in rural areas(190.15/105),and higher in male(221.47/105)than that in female(213.03/105).The crude mortality rate was 254.22/105,the ASMRC and ASMRW were 113.26/105 and 112.91/105.The ASMRC in urban areas(113.12/105)was the same as that in rural areas(113.01/105),and higher in male(146.86/105)than that in female(83.46/105).The ASIRW of lung cancer was 46.13/105,and the ASMRW was 32.04/105,both ranking the first of all cancers.From 2006 to 2020,the crude incidence,ASIRC and ASIRW in urban areas showed an increasing trend(AAPC=3.921％,t=16.222,P＜0.05;AAPC=0.823％,t=2.409,P＜0.05;AAPC=0.875％,t=2.933,P＜0.05).The crude incidence,ASIRC and ASIRW in urban female were all rising(AAPC=4.151％,t=15.888,P＜0.05;AAPC=1.597％,t=4.819,P＜0.05;AAPC=1.514％,t=4.752,P＜0.05).During the same period,the cancer mortality in urban areas showed an increasing trend(AAPC=3.175％,t=14.745,P＜0.05),and the ASMRW showed a decreasing trend(AAPC=-0.908％,t=-2.273,P＜0.05).The crude mor-tality of both men and women showed an increasing trend(AAPC=3.010％,t=6.032,P＜0.05;AAPC=2.820％,t=5.921,P＜0.05),while the crude mortality and ASMRW for female showed a significant downward trend(AAPC=-1.487％,t=-2.437,P＜0.05;AAPC=-2.680％,t=-2.246,P＜0.05).From 2016 to 2020,the crude incidence,ASIRC and ASIRW in rural areas showed no significant change;however,the crude incidence in male was increasing(AAPC=2.025％,t=3.853,P＜0.05).In the same period,the crude mortality rate in rural areas increased(AAPC=3.577％,t=9.377,P＜0.05),while there was no significant change in the ASMRC and ASMRW.The crude mortality of both men and women showed an increasing trend(AAPC=3.377％,t=10.615,P＜0.05;AAPC=3.978％,t=7.245,P＜0.05),while there was no significant change in ASMRC and ASMRW.[Conclusion]The cancer burden in Liaoning from 2016 to 2020 was higher than the average level in China,can-cer prevention and control should be further strengthened in the provice.

Objective : To explore the mechanism of isorhamnetin (Iso) in the treatment of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) using network pharmacology and molecular docking methods and to verify it in vitro. Methods : The key targets were obtained by constructing the PPI protein interaction network based on the common intersection targets of Iso-OSCC. At the same time, gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) were used to analyze the related signaling pathways of the intersection targets. Iso and core targets were also analyzed through molecular docking and visualization. Colony formation assay and Transwell assay were used to identify the effect of Iso on the proliferation and invasion of Cal-27 cells. Western blot was used to analyze the regulatory effects of different concentrations of Iso on estrogen receptor-1 (ESR1), phosphoinositide-3-kinase regulatory subunit-1 (PIK3R1), Src tyrosine kinase (SRC), and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) signaling pathway proteins. Results: A total of 269 potential intersection targets of Iso-regulated OSCC were obtained. According to the degree obtained by topological analysis, PIK3R1, AKT1, SRC, ESR1, and other core targets were screened out. KEGG analysis showed that 165 signaling pathways were enriched in the intersection targets of Iso-OSCC, among which the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway played an important role in the treatment of OSCC with Iso. Molecular docking results showed that the absolute value of binding energy between target proteins PIK3R1, AKT1, SRC, ESR1, and Iso was high. After Cal-27 cells were treated with Iso, the number of cell colony formations, the number of transmembrane cells, and the expression of PIK3R1, ESR1, SRC, p-PI3K, and p-AKT were negatively correlated with the increase in Iso concentration (P < 0.05). Conclusion Iso can inhibit PI3K/AKT signal transduction and influence the expression of PIK3R1, AKT1, SRC, and ESR1 proteins, thereby inhibiting the occurrence and development of OSCC.

Objective To explore the correlation between cardiac remodeling and the occurrence of contrast-associated acute kidney injury(CA-AKI)assessed by echocardiography.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 100 patients with coronary artery disease(CAD)who underwent coronary angiography(CAG)and percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)from March 2021 to March 2024.The patients were divided into CA-AKI group and non-CA-AKI group according to whether CA-AKI occurred.Baseline data and echocardiographic parameters,inclu-ding left ventricular end-diastolic internal diameter index(LVIDDI),left ventricular end-systolic in-ternal diameter index(LVIDSI),and left ventricular mass index(LVMI),were collected and com-pared between the two groups.Logistic regression analysis was used to screen for independent influen-cing factors of CA-AKI occurrence.Results The level of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP)in the CA-AKI group was higher than that in the non-CA-AKI group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.001).Compared with the non-CA-AKI group,the CA-AKI group had higher levels of C-reactive protein and glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c),as well as a higher proportion of patients with diabetes and anemia,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Echocardiographic data showed that LVMI,LVIDDI,and LVIDSI in the CA-AKI group were all higher than those in the non-CA-AKI group,and the differences were statistically sig-nificant(t=2.057,3.429,2.975;P＜0.05).The left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)level in the CA-AKI group was lower than that in the non-CA-AKI group,and the difference was statisti-cally significant(t=3.005,P=0.003).Univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that diabe-tes,anemia,inflammation,NT-proBNP,HbA1c,LVMI,LVIDDI,LVIDSI,LVEF,ventricular hy-pertrophy,and ventricular dilation were significantly associated with the occurrence of CA-AKI(P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis results showed that LVMI(OR=3.81;95％CI,1.04 to 8.50;P=0.045),LVIDDI(OR=4.21;95％CI,2.02 to 6.08;P＜0.001),LVIDSI(OR=1.61;95％CI,1.27 to 2.03;P=0.024),ventricular hypertrophy(OR=3.42;95％CI,1.83 to 4.44;P=0.001),and ventricular dilation(OR=2.93;95％CI,1.43 to 3.74;P=0.033)were independent influencing factors for the occurrence of CA-AKI.Conclusion Cardiac remodeling is significantly correlated with the risk of CA-AKI in CAD patients.Clinicians should take protective measures timely for patients with abnormal cardiac structure to prevent the occurrence of CA-AKI.

Objective: To investigate the role of murine double minute 2(MDM2) in dihydroartemisinin′s(DHA) inhibition of lung adenocarcinoma cell proliferation and migration. Methods: CCK8 assay was used to detect the inhibitory effect of gradient concentrations of DHA(0, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 μmol/L) and time gradients(0, 24, 48, and 72 h) on the proliferation of lung adenocarcinoma A549 and PC9 cells, and the half maximal inhibitory concentrate(IC50) were calculated respectively. Colony formation and scratch assays were used to detect the inhibitory effects of DHA on colony formation and migration of A549 and PC9 cells. Western blot was used to detect the inhibitory effects of DHA on MDM2 expression and epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)-related proteins E-cadherin and N-cadherin. The promoting effects of MDM2 on proliferation, migration and EMT of lung adenocarcinoma cells were verified by small interfering RNA-mediated knockdown of MDM2(si-MDM2). The reversal effects of MDM2 overexpression on DHA′s inhibition on the proliferation and migration of A549 and PC9 cells were observed. Results: DHA inhibited the proliferation of A549 and PC9 cells in a dose⁃ and time⁃dependent manner,with IC50 values of 30. 57 and 78. 61 μmol/L , respectively. Compared with the Control group , A549 and PC9 cells had significantly decreased colony formation (both P < 0. 01) and migration (both P < 0. 01) upon treatment with DHA. Moreover, DHA significantly inhibited the protein expression levels of MDM2 and N ⁃cadherin in A549 and PC9 cells , and upregulated the expression of E ⁃cadherin protein (both P < 0. 05) . Compared with si⁃Control ,si⁃MDM2 significantly inhibited the protein levels of MDM2 and N ⁃cadherin in A549 and PC9 cells , and upregulat⁃(both P < 0. 01) of both cells. After overexpression of MDM2 in A549 and PC9 cells , the proliferation and migra⁃ tion ability were significantly enhanced (both P < 0. 05) , and the inhibitory effects of DHA were partially reversed by MDM2 overexpression (both P < 0. 05) . Conclusion DHA effectively inhibits the proliferation and migration of lung adenocarcinoma cells , and its mechanism is associated with the suppression of MDM2.

Objective:To establish a dose-response curve of dicentric chromosomes and centromeric rings (dic+ r) in γ-ray irradiation-induced chromosomal aberrations in human peripheral blood lymphocytes through automated analysis.Methods:Peripheral blood samples from three healthy donors were irradiated in vitro at doses of 0, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, and 5 Gy and a dose rate of 0.80 Gy/min using a 137Cs γ-ray source. Post-irradiation, lymphocytes were cultured based on standard protocols, harvested using an automatic cell harvester, and prepared on slides using an automatic slide preparation system. dic+ r were analyzed fully automatically using the DCScore software, and a dose-response curve of dic+ r was established through fitting and then validated using the CABAS software. Results:The dose-response curve followed a linear-quadratic model, i. e., y = 0.093 65+ 0.030 21 D+ 0.025 31 D2 ( R2 = 0.999 2), where y was the quantity of dic+ r and D was the absorbed dose of γ-ray irradiation (Gy). Doses to samples for blind validation were estimated using this curve, yielding deviations of less than 24% from the actual irradiation doses. Conclusions:The fully automated analysis of dic+ r in 137Cs γ-ray irradiation-induced chromosomal aberrations, followed by the construction of the dose-response curve, holds significant potential for rapid, high-throughput biodosimetry in large-scale nuclear emergencies.

Objective:To explore the relationship between latent categories of meaning in life and aggression among male prisoners,and analyze the mediating role of negative emotions.Methods:Five hundred and thirty-seven male prisoners were selected and assessed with the Meaning in Life Questionnaire(MLQ),Chinese version of Buss& Perry Aggression Questionnaire(AQ-CV),and Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale(DASS-21).Latent profile anal-ysis was used to explore the potential categories of meaning in life,as well as to test the mediating role of negative emotions using relative mediation analysis.Results:Four categories of meaning in life were identified,namely nega-tive meaning in life(20.3％),low experiential-high seeking(28.3％),high experiential-low seeking(16.0％),and positive meaning in life(35.4％)types were present among the prisoners.The scores of aggression decreased sequentially from the negative meaning in life type to the low experiential-high seeking type,and then to the high experiential-low seeking type(Ps＜0.05).Compared to the negative meaning in life type,the mediating role of the high experiential-low seeking type(β=-0.59,95％CI=-0.75--0.43)and the positive meaning in life type in aggression through negative emotions was statistically significant(β=-0.56,95％CI=-0.71--0.42).Conclusion:The study suggests that male prisoners with a higher meaning in life tend to exhibit lower aggression,and that individuals with a higher experiential meaning in life have lower aggression through diminished negative e-motions,compared to those with a negative meaning in life type.

Objective:To investigate the effect of circular RNA bromodomain PHD finger transcription factor (circBPTF) targeting microRNA (miR)-224-3p on the damage of human retinal vascular endothelial cells (HRECs) induced by high glucose.Methods:HRECs were divided into control group and high glucose group, which were cultured with medium containing 5.5 mmol/L glucose and 30 mmol/L glucose for 48 hours, respectively.HRECs were transfected with siRNA negative control (si-NC), siRNA of circBPTF (si-circBPTF), miRNA mimic control (miR-NC), and miR-224-3p by Lipofectamine 2000, followed by cultured in 30 mmol/L glucose medium for 48 hours and were recorded as si-NC group, si-circBPTF group, miR-NC group and miR-224-3p group, respectively.HRECs were transfected with si-circBPTF and anti-miR-NC or si-circBPTF and anti-miR-224-3p by double transfection method, and then treated with 30 mmol/L glucose medium for 48 hours and were recorded as anti-miR-NC group and anti-miR-224-3p group, respectively.The expression of circBPTF and miR-224-3p was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.Cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry.Reactive oxygen species (ROS) level was determined by 2′, 7′-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate probe.Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) content were detected by colorimetric method.Expression of cleaved-caspase-3/caspase-3 and cleaved-caspase-9/caspase-9 proteins was detected by Western blot.The interaction between circBPTF and miR-224-3p was identified by the dual luciferase reporter method.Results:Compared with the control group, the apoptosis rate, cleaved-caspase-3/caspase-3 protein expression, cleaved-caspase-9/caspase-9 protein expression, ROS level, MDA content, and circBPTF relative expression were significantly increased and SOD activity and miR-224-3p expression were decreased in the high glucose group (all P<0.05).Compared with the si-NC group, circBPTF relative expression, ROS level, MDA content, cleaved-caspase-3/caspase-3 protein expression, cleaved-caspase-9/caspase-9 protein expression, and cell apoptosis rate were significantly reduced and SOD activity was significantly increased in the si-circBPTF group (all P<0.05).Compared with the miR-NC group, miR-224-3p relative expression and SOD activity were significantly enhanced and ROS level, MDA content, cleaved-caspase-3/caspase-3 protein expression, cleaved-caspase-9/caspase-9 protein expression and cell apoptosis rate were significantly reduced in the miR-224-3p group (all P<0.05).The relative luciferase activity of HRECs after co-transfection of wild type circBPTF and miR-224-3p mimic was 0.43±0.04, which was significantly decreased compared with 0.99±0.06 after co-transfection of wild type circBPTF and miR-NC ( t=23.297, P<0.05).Compared with anti-miR-NC group, the relative expression of miR-224-3p and SOD activity were significantly decreased and ROS level, MDA content, cell apoptosis rate, cleaved-caspase-3/caspase-3 protein expression, and cleaved-caspase-9/caspase-9 protein expression were significantly increased in the anti-miR-224-3p group (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Interfering with circBPTF can inhibit high glucose induced HRECs apoptosis and oxidative stress damage by targeting miR-224-3p.

Objective To develop a combined model integrating radiomics and 3D deep learning features for improving the predictive efficacy of overall survival in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)patients undergoing radiotherapy,thereby providing a foundation for optimizing individualized radiotherapy strategies.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 522 NSCLC patients from 3 centers.Radiomics features were extracted from the tumor region of interest on radiotherapy planning CT scans,and a 3D-SE-ResNet was constructed to extract deep learning features.Following feature extraction,features were selected via univariate Cox analysis and Lasso-Cox regression,and a combined model was established by fusing the two feature types through principal component analysis.The discriminative ability of the model was evaluated using the concordance index(C-index)and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC),while the risk stratification efficacy was verified by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis.Results The predictive performance of deep learning features was significantly superior to that of radiomics features(C-index:0.73 vs 0.65).The combined model achieved the highest predictive performance in the training set,internal test set,and external test set(C-index:0.74,0.69,0.72 respectively),with higher AUC values for predicting 1-year,2-year,and 3-year OS than either single model.Kaplan-Meier analysis showed significant differences in survival between the high-and low-risk groups(Log-rank test,P<0.001),and calibration curves indicated good consistency between predicted and actual survival outcomes.Conclusion The combined model integrating radiomics and 3D deep learning features can accurately predict survival outcomes in NSCLC patients undergoing radiotherapy.The multi-center validation results support its potential application in prognosis stratification for individualized radiotherapy.
