Objective To construct a prediction model for the population with hypertension and diabetes to assess the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD), and to provide a scientific basis for formulating targeted CKD prevention and control measures. Methods Based on physical examination data from community residents aged 60 years and above in Nanjing in 2022, 10 221 patients with hypertension and diabetes were selected as the study subjects. Variables associated with CKD prevalence were screened using univariate analysis, and further variable selection was performed using LASSO regression. Finally, a CKD risk prediction model was constructed based on logistic regression. The model's performance was evaluated using the ROC curve and calibration curve. Results The prevalence rate of CKD in the study population was 22.71%, with a mean age of 71.66 years. LASSO regression identified seven variables associated with CKD: age, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), hemoglobin, uric acid, triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPCR), and medical insurance type. The final logistic regression model incorporated six variables: age [OR=1.067 (95% CI: 1.058-1.076)], BUN [OR=1.377 (95% CI: 1.338-1.418)], hemoglobin [OR=0.992 (95% CI: 0.989-0.995)], uric acid [OR=1.004 (95% CI: 1.003-1.004)], TyG index [OR=1.445 (95% CI: 1.324-1.577)], and self-payment medical insurance [OR=1.732 (95% CI: 1.542-1.945)]. The model had an AUC of 0.759 (95% CI: 0.747-0.770) and a Brier score of 0.140 (95% CI: 0.136-0.145), indicating good predictive performance. The calibration curve showed good agreement between the predicted risk and the observed value. Conclusion The constructed LASSO-logistic regression risk prediction model in this study can effectively assess the risk of CKD in elderly individuals aged 60 years and above with hypertension and diabetes, providing a basis for early identification of high-risk individuals and the formulation of targeted CKD prevention and control measures.

Objective To report the first case of renal calculi in a patient with horseshoe kidney (HSK) treated with simultaneous bilateral minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy (SB-mPCNL) combined with antegrade flexible ureteroscopy lithotripsy (A-FURS), and to analyze the feasibility of the surgical approach. Case Report A 57-year-old male patient was admitted due to “right lumbago and abdominal pain for 10 days”.Computed tomography urography (CTU) revealed bilateral nephrolithiasis with HSK.The patient underwent SB-mPCNL combined with A-FURS.The operation time was 185 min, with the lithotripsy and stone clearance time accounting for 80 min, and the estimated blood loss being approximately 30 mL.A plain abdominal radiograph conducted on the 4th postoperative day showed complete clearance of stones.Bilateral nephrostomy tubes were removed on the 6th postoperative day.The patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged on the 7th postoperative day.The safety and feasibility of this combined surgical modality were analyzed based on relevant literature. Conclusion SB-mPCNL combined with A-FURS is a safe, effective and feasible therapeutic option for bilateral nephrolithiasis in patients with HSK, which is worthy of further clinical verification.

Objective To analyze the factors influencing occupational health literacy (OHL), work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), and occupational stress in medical staff, and to investigate the potential associations between OHL and WMSDs as well as occupational stress. Methods A total of 880 medical staff members from 18 medical institutions were selected as the study subjects using a probability proportional method. Data on OHL, WMSDs, and occupational stress were investigated using the National Key Populations Occupational Health Literacy Surveillance Individual Questionnaire (including the Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire and the Core Occupational Stress Scale), and the influencing factors and potential relationships were analyzed. Results The OHL level was 63.1%, the prevalence of WMSDs was 88.1%, and the detection rate of occupational stress was 24.0% in the study subjects. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that female medical staff had lower OHL levels than males (P<0.05). Medical staff with higher education levels and those working in higher-level medical institutions had higher OHL levels (all P<0.05). Medical staff working >40-<49 hours per week and those working ≥49 hours per week had higher OHL levels than those working ≤40 hours per week (all P<0.01). Medical staff with higher education levels or longer working hours had a higher risk of WMSDs (all P<0.05). Medical staff with lower monthly personal income, longer weekly working hours, and lower OHL levels had a higher risk of occupational stress (all P<0.05), and those working night shifts had a higher risk of occupational stress than those who did not (P<0.01). Conclusion The study participants had a relatively high level of OHL, a high prevalence of WMSDs, and a low detection rate of occupational stress. It is recommended that medical institutions effectively implement occupational health promotion and support measures to improve the OHL level of medical staff, to reduce the risk of WMSDs and occupational stress.

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of treatment of intramural ureteral tumors via transurethral resection. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 26 patients with ureteral cancer who underwent transurethral resection of intramural ureteral tumors at the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University from May 2020 to May 2023. All patients were treated using the “outer-wedge, inner-rotation” resection technique, with ureteral stents placed intraoperatively. Clinical indicators including operation time, intraoperative blood loss, length of postoperative hospital stay, ureteral stent indwelling duration, intraoperative and postoperative complications, postoperative pathological results, and bladder tumor recurrence rate were analyzed. Results All surgeries were successfully completed. The operation time was 45(35, 60) min, intraoperative blood loss was 5(3, 10) mL, length of postoperative hospital stay was 4(3, 5) d, and the ureteral stent indwelling duration was (33.8±9.7) d. All patients did not experience intraoperative complications, the postoperative hydronephrosis rate was 3.8%. Postoperative pathology confirmed urothelial carcinoma in all cases, including 6 cases of stage pT_a, 16 cases of pT₁, and 4 cases of pT_2a. The follow-up period ranged from 12 to 48 months. Intravesical recurrence occurred in 2 patients, and recurrence rate was 7.7%. There were no tumor-related deaths during the follow-up period. Conclusions Transurethral resection of intramural ureteral tumors is minimally invasive, resulting in less blood loss, and has low rates of postoperative complications such as hydronephrosis and hydroureter. It achieves favorable surgical outcomes while better preserving renal function.

Objective To analyze the occupational health literacy (OHL) level and its influencing factors of workers in non-metallic mineral product industry in Yunfu City. Methods A total of 947 frontline workers from 24 non-metallic mineral products enterprises in Yunfu City were selected as the research subjects using the stratified random sampling method. The OHL level of the workers were assessed using the Occupational Health Literacy Questionnaire of National Key Populations. Results The overall OHL level of the research subjects was 58.3% (552/947). The OHL levels across four dimensions, from highest to lowest, were basic knowledge of occupational health protection (94.7%), healthy work practices and behaviors (81.8%), legal knowledge of occupational health (65.5%), and basic skills of occupational health protection (25.9%). The results of binary logistic regression analysis showed that workers with 2.0-<10.0 years and ≥10 years of work experience had higher OHL levels than those with <2.0 years of work experience (all P<0.01). Workers with a high school education or above had higher OHL levels than those with a junior high school education or below (all P<0.01). Workers in large- and medium-sized enterprises had higher OHL levels than those in small and micro-sized enterprises (both P<0.01). Conclusion The OHL levels of workers in Yunfu City's non-metallic mineral products industry can be further improved, particularly the occupational health protection skills and related legal knowledge. Workers with short seniority, low educational level, and in small and micro enterprises should be the key groups for improving OHL levels.

Objective To develop a refined printer management system based on the PDCA cycle,aiming to improve both operational cost efficiency and medical service quality through full-process management.Methods A total of 400 printers in use at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University(Zhaoqing Hospital)were included from June 2024 to May 2025.The period from June to November 2024 was designated as the pre-refinement phase(under conventional management),while December 2024 to May 2025 served as the post-refinement phase(under PDCA-based refined management).A fishbone diagram was used to identify root causes of previous management inefficiencies,and targeted measures were developed and implemented.Outcomes were compared between the two phases.Results After implementing the PDCA cycle,the average equipment utiliza-tion rate increased by 5.41％,indicating optimized resource allocation.The average page yield per drum increased by 3.51％,reflecting improved consumable efficiency and reduced operational costs.The incidence of driver failures decreased by 34.71％,and operational issues dropped by 7.25％,demonstrating enhanced device reliability and system stability.Consultation-related work orders increased by 78.68％,and routine maintenance tasks rose by 30.62％,signaling a shift from reactive repairs to pro-active preventive maintenance.Conclusion The PDCA-based refined management model effectively enhances printer operational efficiency,reduces resource waste,and improves device reliability.This approach reinforces a patient-centered service philosophy by increasing the accuracy and efficiency of medical documentation output,thereby supporting safer and more efficient healthcare delivery.

Objective:To investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of the hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) agonist Roxadustat in alleviating pulmonary ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) in mice.Method:This study consisted of both in vivo and in vitro experiments. Thirty-six male C57/BL6 mice (6~8 weeks old) were used. In the animal experiments, 20 mice underwent left pulmonary artery ligation to establish the IRI model and were divided into reperfusion groups of 0, 1, 2, or 4 hours (IR-0/1/2/4 h, n=4 each), with a sham group ( n=4) as control. Temporal and spatial changes in pulmonary HIF-1α expression were analyzed. Another 16 mice were randomized into four groups: sham ( n=4), I/R+vehicle (DMSO, n=4), and I/R+Roxadustat treatment at 25 mg/kg or 50 mg/kg (I/R+ROX-LD, I/R+ROX-HD, n=4 each). Roxadustat or DMSO was administered intraperitoneally once daily for 5 days before surgery. Lung injury, inflammation, and endothelial apoptosis were subsequently assessed. In the cell experiments, human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) was subjected to hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) to determine the time course of HIF-1α expression. Cells pretreated with Roxadustat (25 μmol) were then exposed to H/R, and HIF-1α expression and apoptosis were analyzed. To verify the role of HIF-1α, siRNA knockdown of HIF-1α mRNA was performed before Roxadustat pretreatment and H/R exposure. Result:In vivo, pulmonary HIF-1α mRNA expression increased progressively after reperfusion, while protein expression peaked early and subsequently declined ( P<0.05). Immunofluorescence staining revealed HIF-1α predominantly localized to pulmonary endothelial cells following I/R. Compared with the I/R+DMSO group, Roxadustat (both doses) upregulated HIF-1α expression in lung tissue. In vitro, HIF-1α mRNA expression increased continuously after H/R, while protein levels first rose and then decreased ( P<0.05). Roxadustat pretreatment upregulated Bcl-2 and downregulated Bax and cleaved caspase-3 compared with the H/R group ( P<0.05). HIF-1α knockdown reversed these effects, resulting in decreased Bcl-2 and increased Bax and cleaved caspase-3 expression relative to the Roxadustat-treated group. Conclusion:The HIF-1α agonist Roxadustat inhibits vascular endothelial apoptosis, alleviates endothelial injury, reduces inflammatory cell infiltration in lung tissue, and lowers inflammatory responses in mice with pulmonary ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Objective To explore the impact of early discharge guidance,based on an intelligent education system,on postoperative pain management,functional recovery,and discharge readiness in lung cancer patients.Methods A total of 170 lung cancer patients were selected from Jinhua Municipal Central Hospital from July 2022 to June 2023.According to the time of admission,patients admitted between July to November 2022 were assigned to control group(n=82),while patients admitted between December 2022 to June 2023 were assigned to observation group(n=88).Control group received routine perioperative health education,while observation group received additional intelligent education system.Following outcomes were compared between two groups:Time to first ambulation after surgery,pain numeric rating scale(NRS)scores on postoperative 1 to 3 days and on day of discharge,performance on 2-minute step test on day of discharge,and readiness for hospital discharge scale(RHDS).Results Time to first ambulation post operative in observation group was shorter than that in control group.NRS scores at 72 hours post operative and on day of discharge were lower in observation group compared to control group.Number of steps completed in 2-minute step test in observation group was higher than that in control group.Additionally,RHDS scores in observation group was higher than that in control group,and all differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion The discharge planning advancement driven by the intelligent education system significantly improved early postoperative ambulation,reduced postoperative pain,enhanced physical function,and increased discharge readiness in lung cancer patients,thereby effectively promoting postoperative recovery.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) in passenger drivers and its influencing factors. Methods A total of 951 passenger drivers in Guangdong Province were selected as the research subjects using the judgmental sampling method. A Musculoskeletal Injury Questionnaire was employed to assess the prevalence of WMSDs in the past year. Results The prevalence of WMSDs in passenger drivers was 41.11%. The result of multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that married drivers had a higher risk of WMSDs than single drivers (P<0.05). The lower the frequency of physical exercise, the longer the driving time per week, the longer the continuous driving time, the more restricted the driving working space, the poorer the foot comfort during driving, and the more affected the normal meal, the higher the risk of WMSDs (all P<0.05). The risk of WMSDs in drivers with sleep time ≤ 8.0 h/d was higher than that in drivers with sleep time > 8.0 h/d (P<0.01), and the risk of WMSDs in drivers with the same posture for a long time on the shoulder was higher than that in drivers without this poor working posture (P<0.01). Conclusion WMSDs were prevalent among passenger drivers, which was associated with demographic and adverse ergonomic factors. Intervention on lifestyle and adverse ergonomic factors could further reduce the risk of WMSDs of passenger drivers.

Objective To analyze the factors influencing the occupational health literacy (OHL) level among workers in key industries from the perspectives of both individual workers and enterprises. Methods A total of 32 336 front-line workers from 12 key industries in the secondary industry in Guangdong Province were selected as the research subjects by a stratified cluster random sampling method. Their OHL level was investigated using Occupational Health Literacy Questionnaire of National Key Populations, and the influencing factors were analyzed. Results The OHL level of the research subjects was 48.5%. The OHL level of the research subjects in four dimensions from high to low was basic knowledge of occupational health protection, occupational health practice and behavior, legal knowledge of occupational health, and basic skills of occupational health protection (80.7%, 61.2%, 48.3% and 29.5%, respectively). The multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that the OHL level of female workers was lower than that of males (P<0.05). Lower OHL was also associated with older age, lower education level, lower personal monthly income of workers (all P<0.01). The workers with length of service < 3 years and ≥ 20 years had lower OHL level than those with length of service 3-<10 years and 10-<20 years, respectively (all P<0.05). Workers in larger enterprises had higher OHL levels (all P<0.01). The OHL level of workers in the sixth category of industries with occupational injuries had higher occupational injury risks than those in the third and fourth categories (all P<0.05). The OHL levels of workers in state-owned enterprises, private enterprises, foreign-funded enterprises, and other enterprises were higher than that of workers in public institutions (all P<0.05). Conclusion The influencing factors of workers′ OHL in key industries of the secondary industry include individual factors (gender, age, education level, personal monthly income, length of service) and enterprise factors (enterprise size, enterprise nature and industry injury risk category). Female, older workers, those with lower education or income, and those with short length of service represent priority groups for OHL interventions, while small and micro enterprises are priority units for future workplace health promotion intervention.
