Objective:To explore the effects of the "group+individual" combined internet occupational health management model on the physiological indicators, pulmonary imaging changes and self-management ability of people with pneumoconiosis.Methods:In November 2022, patients diagnosed with pneumoconiosis in Baotou city from January 2012 to January 2022 were selected. Eighty cases exhibiting a decline in forcect expiratory volume in one second (FEV 1) and pulmonary imaging changes (primarily ground-glass opacity variations) were chosen as study subjects. These patients were randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group using the sealed envelope method, with 40 patients in each group. The control group received conventional outpatient follow-up and occupational health surveillance management, while the experimental group underwent a remote occupational health management model combining "group+individual" approaches over 12 months, with interventions administered once every 3 months. Comparative analysis was conducted on pre-and pos-management indicators between the two groups, including pulmonary function, pulmonary imaging changes, and self-management ability scores. Results:After occupational health management, the experimental group showed superior improvement in observed indicators (including pulmonary function and pulmonary imaging indicators) compared to the control group ( P<0.05). The self-management ability scores of the experimental group after occupational health management were also better than those of the control group (all P<0.05) . Conclusion:The remote occupational health management model combining group management and individualized guidance, when applied to patients with pneumoconiosis, is beneficial for improving their physiological indicators, pulmonary imaging indicators, and enhancing self-management abilities.

Objective:To explore the effect of neck muscle group exercise on setup errors in postoperative radiotherapy for head and neck cancers.Methods:A total of 126 head and neck cancer patients scheduled for radiotherapy at the First Affiliated Hospital, Air Force Medical University from February 2021 to October 2022 were prospectively enrolled. Among these patients, four patients discontinued treatment due to personal reasons, and the remaining 126 patients were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group, with 61 patients in each group. The experimental group received neck muscle group exercise, while the control group received routine treatment without intervention. Cone-beam CT (CBCT) scans were performed weekly to measure setup errors at the levels of the clivus and the 4 th and 7 th cervical vertebrae (C4 and C7, respectively). Three-dimensional displacement, systematic errors, and random errors were calculated for each level. The appropriate margins of planning target volumes (PTVs) were determined using the Van Herk formula. Results:Baseline characteristics were well-balanced between the two groups, with no statistically significant differences ( P > 0.05). Compared to the control group, the experimental group showed significantly smaller setup errors in the left-right ( x) and anterior-posterior ( z) directions at the clivus level, as well as in the z direction at the C4 and C7 vertebral levels ( t = 2.30, 5.29, 4.07, 2.40, P < 0.05). The required PTV margin in the z direction increased to 4.0 mm at C7 from 2.4 mm and 2.8 mm at the clivus in the experimental and control groups, respectively. Correlation analysis revealed a strong negative correlation between the x-direction at the clivus and C4 vertebral levels and the couch angle (RTN) among all patients ( r = -0.548, -0.452, P < 0.001). A moderate negative correlation was observed between the inferior-superior ( y) direction and the z-direction at the C4 and C7 vertebral levels ( r = -0.160, -0.222, P < 0.001). Conclusions:Neck muscle group exercise can reduce setup errors and PTV margins in the anterior-posterior direction in postoperative radiotherapy for head and neck cancer patients.

Objective:To analyze the gene mutation spectrum of children with T-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) using next generation sequencing technology and to evaluate the value of gene mutations in prognosis stratification.Methods:A case series analysis was made.The clinical data of newly diagnosed pediatric T-ALL patients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 1, 2019 to February 29, 2024 were analyzed retrospectively.T-ALL gene mutations were analyzed.The relationships of gene mutations with clinical features and induction of responses to therapy were studied.The effects of gene mutations on overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) were examined by the Kaplan-Meier method and COX regression model.Results:A total of 80 newly diagnosed pediatric T-ALL patients were enrolled in the study, with a male-to-female ratio of 3.4∶1.0 and a median age of 8 (range, 2-17) years.A total of 57 mutations were detected in 74 patients, 46.2% (37/74) of whom showed 3 or more gene mutations.The coexistence of mutated genes was obvious. PTEN mutations were more prevalent in male patients ( P=0.018).Initial leukocyte counts were higher in patients with PTEN mutations ( P=0.038) and lower in patients with JAK3 mutations ( P=0.002).Patients with NOTCH1 mutations had a higher positive rate of fusion genes ( P=0.043).Patients with PTEN mutations had a higher rate of minimal residual disease(MRD) remission after 15/19 d of treatment with induction therapy, respectively ( P=0.013).The rate of MRD remission after 33/46 d of treatment with induction therapy was higher in patients with the FBXW7 mutation ( P=0.004) and lower in patients with JAK3 mutations ( P=0.003).Multifactorial COX regression analysis showed that IL7R mutation and three or more gene mutations were independent risk factors for OS and EFS in T-ALL patients(OS: HR=3.252, 7.357, 95% CI: 1.020-10.372, 1.646-32.882; EFS: HR=3.372, 3.009, 95% CI: 1.234-9.214, 1.174-7.708; all P<0.05). Conclusions:Gene mutations are prevalent in T-ALL children and correlate with clinical manifestations and prognosis.The coexistence of mutated genes is obvious.Pediatric T-ALL patients with IL7R mutations and three or more gene mutations have a poorer prognosis.
