The discussion covers the detection of internal contamination, general requirements for internal radionuclide contamination wards, and inpatient management. In addition, the study explores in depth the daily responsibilities, protective measures, and management protocols for both healthcare staff and patients within such wards. This article summarizes a framework for the construction of internal radionuclide contamination wards, along with specific plans and detailed role-based guidelines. These results provide a reference for the management of hospital wards for patients with internal radionuclide contamination.

Kupffer cells (KCs), as residents and sentinels of the liver, are involved in the formation of hepatic fibrosis (HF). However, the biological functions of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in KCs to HF have not been determined. In this study, the expression levels of circRNAs, microRNAs, and messenger RNAs (mRNAs) in KCs from a mouse model of HF mice were investigated using microarray and circRNA-Seq analyses. circDcbld2 was identified as a candidate circRNA in HF, as evidenced by its up-regulation in KCs. Silver staining and mass spectrometry showed that Wtap and Igf2bp2 bind to cirDcbld2. The suppression of circDcbld2 expression decreased the KC inflammatory response and oxidative stress and inhibited hepatic stellate cell (HSCs) activation, attenuating mouse liver fibrogenesis. Mechanistically, Wtap mediated the N ⁶-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation of circDcbld2, and Igf2bp2 recognized m6A-modified circDcbld2 and increased its stability. circDcbld2 contributes to the occurrence of HF by binding miR-144-3p/Et-1 to regulate the inflammatory response and oxidative stress. These findings indicate that circDcbld2 functions via the m6A/circDcbld2/miR-144-3p/Et-1 axis and may act as a potential biomarker for HF treatment.

Objective:To investigate the correlation of SERPINC1 and SERPINE1 gene polymorphisms with venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with malignant tumors.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted. A total of 227 patients with malignant tumors in the Cancer Hospital Affiliated to Xinjiang Medical University from November 2023 to February 2024 were selected, of which 47 cases developed VTE (VTE group) and 180 cases did not develop VTE (non-VTE group). The patients' venous blood was collected, and D-dimer level was analyzed by using fully automatic coagulation analyzer; fluorescence staining was performed by using digoxin staining solution, and SERPINC1 rs2227589 locus and SERPINE1 rs1799762 locus were used as candidate genes, and fluorescence sequencing was performed by using multichannel fluorescence quantitative analyzer, and the frequencies of C, T, 4G and 5G genes were calculated.Results:There were no statistically significant differences in the age, gender, smoking, alcohol consumption, anticoagulant use, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, coronary artery disease, surgical treatment, intravenous cannulae, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy between the 2 groups (all P > 0.05). The level of D-dimer in the VTE group was higher than that in the non-VTE group [(8.7±6.9) kg/m 2vs. (2.8±1.0) kg/m 2], and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 5.15, P < 0.001). The differences in C and T genotypes and gene frequencies at the SERPINC1 rs2227589 locus between the VTE group and the non-VTE group were not statistically significant (all P > 0.05). The differences in 4G and 5G genotypes and gene frequencies at the SERPINE1 rs1799762 locus between the VTE group and the non-VTE group were statistically significant (all P < 0.05), and 4G allele frequency in the VTE group was higher than that in the non-VTE group (52.13% vs. 39.72%), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 4.70, P = 0.030). Conclusions:The elevated expression of 4G allele at the SERPINE1 rs1799762 locus in patients with malignant tumors is associated with development of VTE.

Objective To study the oral health status of officers and soldiers in a certain unit,so as to provide a basis for the formulation and implementation of oral health support plans.Methods A total of 437 officers and soldiers in a certain unit were enrolled to assess their oral health status through questionnaire survey and clinical examination.Results The prevalences of dental caries and periodontal diseases were 87.6%(383/437)and 90.4%(395/437),respectively;the detection rates of impacted third molars,recurrent aphthous stomatitis,other mucosal diseases,and temporomandibular joint disorders were 12.6%(55/437),54.2%(237/437),29.5%(129/437),and 19.2%(84/437),respectively.In terms of oral medical needs,23.3%(102/437)patients did not need treatment,66.1%(289/437)required elective treatment,9.2%(40/437)required early treatment,and 1.4%(6/437)required urgent treatment.Conclusion Officers and soldiers in this study have a variety of oral diseases,with periodontal diseases having the highest prevalence.Supportting plans should be formulated based on the characteristics of the prevalence of oral diseases among them,and regular oral diagnosis and treatment should be carried out to prevent the development and progression of oral diseases.

Objective To discuss the application of bidirectional dual loop technique in retrieving Aegisy inferior vena cava filters.Methods The clinical data of 12 patients with deep vein thrombosis in the lower limbs complicated by pulmonary embolism,who received mechanical thrombectomy and Aegisy inferior vena cava(IVC)filter implantation at the Zhoukou Municipal Central Hospital of China from January 2016 to November 2023,were retrospectively analyzed.The retrieval of Aegisy IVC filters beyond the time window was tried by standard methods,guide wire stripping,balloon dilatation,unidirectional single loop technique,unidirectional dual loop technique,etc.However,because of the difficulty in retrieval of filter,bidirectional dual loop technique had to be used.The indwelling time of the IVC filters was 30-365 days,with an average time of 105 days.Results The IVC filter was completely removed in 11 patients.Angiography showed that IVC was unobstructed,no contrast extravasation was observed,and the average operation time was 126 minutes.The retrieval of filter failed in one patient,and the patient had to receive anticoagulation therapy lifelong.No surgery-related complications occurred.Conclusion For retrieving Aegisy IVC filters beyond the time window,bidirectional dual loop technique is clinically safe and effective,and this technology is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
