Objective To analyze the unexamined items and situations in occupational health examinations of radiation workers, and provide a reference for the revision of occupational health examination standards for radiation workers. Methods A total of 29 630 radiation workers who underwent occupational health examinations at The Third People’s Hospital of Henan Province in 2023 were selected, and the non-examination rates were statistically analyzed according to occupation, gender, and age. Results The overall non-examination rate of non-medical radiation workers was significantly lower than that of the medical radiation workers (P<0.05). The non-examination rate of chest X-rays among medical radiation workers was significantly higher than that of non-medical radiation workers (P<0.05), while no significant differences were found in other items (P>0.05). Gender-stratified analysis showed that the non-examination rate of routine urine tests was higher in females than in males in both medical and non-medical radiation workers (P<0.05). Age-stratified analysis revealed no significant differences in non-examination rates among different age groups in non-medical radiation workers (P>0.05), whereas the chest X-ray non-examination rate was relatively high in medical radiation workers under 30 years old (P<0.05). Conclusion Significant differences were observed in the non-examination rates of occupational health examinations among radiation workers based on occupation, gender, and age. The overall non-examination rate was relatively low in non-medical radiation workers.

Objective:To summarize the clinical and imaging presentations of the pontine tegmental cap dysplasia (PTCD).Methods:The clinical, high resolution CT(HRCT) and MRI materials of 4 patients with PTCD between August 2007 to December 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Among these, there were 2 males and 2 females, their ages ranged from 10 months to 16 years.Results:Of 4 PTCD patients, severe or profound severe hearing loss ( n=8 ears), developmental delay, hypotonia and severe facioplegia ( n=3 cases) were found. On HRCT, all of 4 cases were associated with temporal anomalies [including a narrow bony cochlear nerve canal ( n=8 ears), duplicated (each n=4 ears) or narrow ( n=1 ear) internal auditory canal, enlarged vestibular aqueduct ( n=2 ears), enlarged vestibules and dysplastic lateral semicircular canals ( n=3 ears), ossicular deformation( n=2 ears). The stenosis of the labyrinthine segments of the facial nerve canal ( n=3 ears) and facial nerve canal ectopia(n=6 ears)], atrial or ventricular septal defect (each n=1 case), thoracic or lumbar vertebral anomalies and ribs fusion ( n=3 cases). On the brain MRI, the variable flattening of the ventral pons and dysmorphism of the dorsal upper pons cap-like bulging and protruding in the fourth ventricle were shown in all cases, the vermian and cerebellar peduncles hypoplasia gave rise to a molar tooth appearance. The dysplastic ( n=3 ears), aplastic( n=5 ears) cochlear nerves and dysplastic facial nerves ( n=3 ears) were found. Conclusion:The PTCD patients usually present severe hearing loss, developmental delay, hypotonia, and facioplegia. The flattening of the ventral pons and the dorsal upper pons cap-like bulging usually with duplicated internal auditory canal and severe facial and auditory nerves dysplasia are its imaging features.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of dupilumab in the treatment of elderly patients (≥ 60 years old) with atopic dermatitis (AD), with particular attention paid to rare adverse reactions.Methods:A single-center retrospective analysis was conducted on data collected from 281 elderly AD patients who received the standard regimen of dupilumab at the Department of Dermatology, Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from January 2020 to May 2024. Clinical characteristics such as gender, disease duration, skin lesion manifestations, and itch severity were analyzed. Changes in skin lesions and itch severity, as well as related adverse events were recorded during the follow-up period of 0 - 16 weeks. The efficacy and safety of dupilumab in the treatment of elderly AD patients were evaluated.Results:Among the 281 elderly AD patients, 214 were males (76.16%) and 67 were females (23.84%), with the age being 71.13 ± 7.91 years and the age at onset being 59.92 ± 15.72 years. The disease duration ( M[ IQR]) was 5.00 (13.00) years. After standard-regimen dupilumab treatment, the improvement rates of clinical outcome indicators SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) and pruritus numerical rating scale (NRS) scores gradually increased. At week 16, the improvement rates of SCORAD and NRS scores ( M[ IQR]) reached the maxima of 72.37% (23.89%) and 75.00% (29.72%), respectively. The overall incidence of adverse events was relatively low, with only 16 patients (6.05%) reporting adverse events. Common adverse reactions such as conjunctivitis (2 cases, 0.71%) and facial erythema (1 case, 0.36%) were mild and well-tolerated. Phenotype switching occurred in 10 cases (3.56%) . Conclusion:Dupilumab was an effective and safe treatment for elderly AD, but phenotype switching may occur.

Objective:To analyze the latent prevalence of hepatitis B and type 2 diabetes and their correlation through an observational study.Methods:This study used a case-control design. The cases with diabetes were recruited through the diabetes management system and village doctors, while the controls without diabetes were screened from volunteers recruited by village health clinics. Capillary blood samples were collected from the study participants for the measurement of real-time blood glucose level, and venous blood samples were taken from them for the detections of HBV serological markers. Firth logistic regression model was used to fit the relationship between HBsAg positive status and diabetes status.Results:The study included 1 218 diabetes patients, 62 patients with impaired fasting glucose and 491 cases without diabetes. In the cases without diagnosis of diabetes, 11.15% had impaired fasting blood glucose and 4.43% had diabetes. Among those who reported no or unknown diagnosis of hepatitis B, 1.73% were positive for HBsAg, while 18.80% were positive for both HBV core antibody and surface antibody, indicating latent infection of hepatitis B virus. In the non-diabetes group, 0.81% reported hepatitis B history, and in the diabetes group, 2.76% reported hepatitis B history. After adjustment, the HBsAg positive rate was higher in the diabetes group ( OR=2.90, 95% CI: 1.21-6.91). Conclusions:Both diabetes and hepatitis B exhibited a high degree of latent prevalence. The HBsAg positive rate was significantly higher in those with diabetes than in those without diabetes, indicating a potential correlation. These findings highlighted the importance of strengthened screening and management of comorbidities.
