The main modifications are as follows: the occupational health surveillance for workers exposed to toluene (xylene may implement by reference), bromopropane, methyl iodide, ethylene oxide, chloroacetic acid, indium and its compounds, coal tar, coal tarasphalt, asphalt, β-naphthylamine, dust of metal and its compounds(tin, iron, antimony, barium and its compounds), hard metal dust, erionite dust, low temperature, laser, tick-borne encephalitis virus, Borrelia burgdorferi, and human immunodeficiency virus, for scraper or grind operators, and underground workers using squatting or kneeling position, crawling position, side-lying position, or shoulder position for a long period of time are included. The emergency health screening for workers exposed to arsenic, fluorine and its inorganic compounds, and acrylamide are included. The occupational medical examination (OME) for workers exposed to amino and nitro compounds of benzene, phosgene, monomethylamine, organic fluorine and dimethyl sulfate has been adjusted and made mandatory, with corresponding assessments required upon leaving the job. The special occupational health surveillance for workers exposed to mycobacterium tuberculosis and hepatitis virus is removed. The OME conclusion of reexamination is removed, and standardize recheck/additional inspection requirements. The optional items in OME performed before, during and after leaving post are removed, but the optional items in emergency medical examination are retained. Additional OME items are added. The Guideline for OME Summary Reports is added as informative appendix, and so on. The revised GBZ 188 Technical Specification for Occupational Health Surveillance is more scientific and practical.

Clinical data of 3 pregnant women with primary hyperparathyroidism admitted in Jinan Maternal and Child Health Hospital from 2013 to 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Hyperparathyroidism was diagnosed during pregnancy in all 3 cases. The clinical manifestations were non-specific, such as nausea, vomiting, anorexia, and fatigue. Patients also had gallbladder stones (1 case), gallbladder polyps (1 case), and renal parenchyma changes (2 cases). The hypercalcemia crisis occurred in all 3 cases, the blood Ca 2+ levels were 4.11 mmol/L, 2.92-3.82 mmol/L and 3.49-4.10 mmol/L, respectively; and preeclampsia developed in 2 cases. Sudden death occurred in case 1 who did not receive effective treatment during pregnancy; blood calcium was well controlled during pregnancy in case 2, and her neonate had hypocalcemia with good prognosis; case 3 underwent surgical treatment in early pregnancy, and then had missed abortion. Pathological examination revealed parathyroid tumors in all 3 cases.

Pancreatic cancer is a disease with a high fatality rate， with a five-year survival rate of no more than 10% and a significantly increasing annual mortality rate. The common pathogenesis factors of pancreatic cancer are family inheritance， diet， pancreatitis， obesity， etc.， among which， family inheritance of pancreatic cancer is the main reason， and about 7%-10% of patients have family inheritance. Surgery is an effective way to treat pancreatic cancer in patients and improve their survival， but most people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at intermediate and advanced stages and lose the opportunity for surgical treatment. Therefore， radiotherapy， interventional therapy， supportive treatment， immunotherapy， and other treatments are used clinically to relieve symptoms and prolong the survival of patients. The commonly used clinical drug is gemcitabine. Although it can inhibit tumor growth and improve the condition， it can bring side effects such as bone marrow suppression， rash， digestive tract side effects， and drug resistance. The damage of these side effects to the human body is systemic. Chinese medicine can be used alone or in combination with other treatment methods to reduce the toxic and side effects of chemotherapy， restore the physical energy of patients， and reduce its related complications. Chinese medicine contains a large number of active ingredients， including alkaloids， flavonoids， saponins， phenolic acids， and organic acids， with anti-inflammatory， anti-viral， anti-tumor， and other curative effects. Many clinical studies of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） on cancers have verified that TCM plays a positive role in tumor prevention and treatment， especially in improving and controlling clinical symptoms， and also plays a good detoxification effect on radiotherapy and chemotherapy， with good results achieved in improving bone marrow suppression， improving immunity， improving quality of life， and prolonging survival. This paper reviewed the anti-pancreatic cancer mechanism of Chinese medicine monomers based on literature in China and abroad， aiming to provide new potential drug candidates for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

【Objective】 To understand the current situation of blood components distribution in domestic prefecture-level blood stations through analyzing the components distribution data of 24 prefecture-level blood stations in China. 【Methods】 The data of components distribution of 24 blood stations from 2017 to 2020 as well as the data of blood deployment of 24 blood stations from 2019 to 2020 were collected and analyzed. 【Results】 From 2017 to 2020, positive annual growth in red blood cells, plasma and cryoprecipitate was observed in 22, 19 and 15 out of the 24 blood stations, and the annual growth median rate of above three components was 5.24%, 3.80% and 3.25%, respectively. Among the 24 prefecture-level blood stations, 23 carried out the preparation of cryoprecipitate. 【Conclusion】 The distribution of red blood cells, cryoprecipitate and plasma in prefecture-level blood stations is increasing year by year. However, there is a overstock of plasma, and most blood stations need blood employment.

Objective:To explore the effects of interpregnancy interval (IPI) on pregnancy outcomes of subsequent pregnancy.Methods:A multicenter retrospective study was conducted in 21 hospitals in China. Information of age, height, pre-pregnancy weight, IPI, history of diseases, complications of pregnancy, gestational age of delivery, delivery mode, and pregnancy outcomes of the participants were collected by consulting medical records of pregnant women who had two consecutive deliveries in the same hospital during 2011 to 2018. The participants were divided into 4 groups according to IPI:<18 months, 18-23 months, 24-59 months and ≥60 months. According to the WHO′s recommendation, with the IPI of 24-59 months group as a reference, to the effects of IPI on pregnancy outcomes of subsequent pregnancy were analyzed. Stratified analysis was further carried out based on age, history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), macrosomia, and premature delivery, to explore the differences in the effects of IPI on pregnancy outcomes among women with different characteristics.Results:A total of 8 026 women were included in this study. There were 423, 623, 5 512 and 1 468 participants in <18 months group, 18-23 months group, 24-59 months group and ≥60 months group, respectively. (1) The age, pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), history of cesarean section, GDM, gestational hypertension and cesarean section delivery rate of <18 months group, 18-23 months group, 24-59 months group and ≥60 months group were gradually increased, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). (2) After adjusting for potential confounding factors, compared with women in the IPI of 24-59 months group, the risk of premature delivery, premature rupture of membranes, and oligohydramnios were increased by 42% ( OR=1.42, 95% CI: 1.07-1.88, P=0.015), 46% ( OR=1.46, 95% CI: 1.13-1.88, P=0.004), and 64% ( OR=1.64, 95% CI: 1.13-2.38, P=0.009) respectively for women in the IPI≥60 months group. No effects of IPI on other pregnancy outcomes were found in this study ( P>0.05). (3) After stratified by age and adjusted for confounding factors, compared with women in the IPI of 24-59 months group, IPI≥60 months would significantly increase the risk of oligohydramnios for women with advanced age ( OR=2.87, 95% CI: 1.41-5.83, P=0.004); and <18 months could increase the risk of premature rupture of membranes for women under the age of 35 ( OR=1.59, 95% CI: 1.04-2.43, P=0.032). Both the risk of premature rupture of membranes ( OR=1.58, 95% CI: 1.18-2.13, P=0.002) and premature delivery ( OR=1.52, 95% CI: 1.07-2.17, P=0.020) were significantly increased in the IPI≥60 months group. After stratified by history of GDM and adjusted for confounding factors, compared with women in the IPI of 24-59 months group, IPI≥60 months would lead to an increased risk of postpartum hemorrhage for women with a history of GDM ( OR=5.34, 95% CI: 1.45-19.70, P=0.012) and an increased risk of premature rupture of membranes for women without a history of GDM ( OR=1.44, 95% CI: 1.10-1.90, P=0.009). After stratified by history of macrosomia and adjusted for confounding factors, compared with women in the IPI of 24-59 months group, IPI≥60 months could increase the proportion of cesarean section for women with a history of macrosomia ( OR=4.11, 95% CI: 1.18-14.27, P=0.026) and the risk of premature rupture of membranes for women without a history of macrosomia ( OR=1.46, 95% CI: 1.12-1.89, P=0.005). After stratified by history of premature delivery and adjusted for confounding factors, compared with women in the IPI of 24-59 months group, IPI≥60 months would significantly increase the risk of premature rupture of membranes for women without a history of premature delivery ( OR=1.47, 95% CI: 1.13-1.92, P=0.004). Conclusions:Both IPI≥60 months and <18 months would increase the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in the subsequent pregnancy. Healthcare education and consultation should be conducted for women of reproductive age to maintain an appropriate IPI when they plan to pregnant again, to reduce the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in the subsequent pregnancy.

Objective:To understand the profile type of serum Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) antibodies in children with infectious mononucleosis (IM), and to analyze the significance of viral capsid antigen (VCA) IgG antibody affinity in the diagnosis of IM.Methods:Retrospective analysis was performed on the results of the serum anti-EBV antibody profile and plasma EBV nucleic acid test of 150 hospitalized children with IM diagnosed in Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University, from May 2016 to May 2019.Anti-EBV antibody profiles, including anti-VCA-IgG, anti-VCA-IgM, anti-early antigen (EA) IgA, anti-EBV nuclear antigen (EBNA) IgG, and anti-VCA-IgG affinity, were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Plasma EBV nucleic acids were detected by real-time quantitative PCR.Results:There were mainly two types of anti-EBV antibody profiles in 150 children with IM: (1)130 cases who were positive for anti-VCA-IgM/IgG, negative for anti-EBNA-IgG and positive for anti-VCA-IgG antibodies with low affinity, accounting for 86.7% (130/150 cases), of which 50 cases were positive for anti-early antigen IgA; (2)18 cases who were negative for anti-VCA-IgM, positive for anti-VCA-IgG, negative for anti-EBNA-IgG and positive for anti-VCA-IgG antibody with low affinity, accounting for 12.0% (18/150 cases), of which 5 cases were positive for anti-EA IgA.EBV DNA was measured in 132 children, with a posi-tive rate of 37.9% (50/132 cases).Conclusions:There were several types of serum EBV antibody profiles in children with IM, 12.0% of patients with IM in this study were negative for anti-VCA-IgM, and the diagnosis of IM was confirmed by the affinity of anti-VCA IgG.

Objective:To explore the language characteristics of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) at different developmental levels.Methods:The clinical data of 103 children with ASD who attended the Children′s Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January 2018 to December 2020 was analyzed retrospectively. They were divided into typical development and abnormal development (including mild and moderate or severe) groups based on developmental diagnostic scale results, and also devided into 2-3, 4-6, and 7-8 years of age groups based on age. The language characteristics of children with ASD at different developmental levels and different ages were compared by Pearson′s chi-square or Fisher′s exact probabilty test, t test, analysis of variance, or Kruskal-Wallis H test. The relationship between language ability and core symptoms of ASD was analyzed by Pearson correlation test. Results:Among 103 children with ASD, 86 were males and 17 were females, with an age of (5.5±1.5) years. A total of 61 children were charactered as typical development and 42 as abnormal (32 mild and 10 moderate or severe). There were no significant differences in developmental scale, overall language, receptive, expressive, syntax, and semantics scores among the three different age groups (all P>0.05). The detection rate of abnormal language ability in the typical development group was significantly lower than that in the abnormal development group (49.2% (30/61) vs. 100.0% (42/42), P<0.01). Receptive, expressive, semantics, and syntax scores of the typical development groups were significantly higher than those of the mildly and moderately or severely abnormal group (89±13 vs. 76±11 vs.71±8, F=18.61, P<0.01; 80±12 vs. 66±8 vs. 58±7, F=29.69, P<0.01; 92±14 vs.78±14 vs. 71±11, F=17.26, P<0.01; 83±10 vs. 71±8 vs. 64±5, F=29.35, P<0.01). Within the abnormal development group, there were no significant correlations between language ability and the core symptoms of ASD ( r=-0.02-0.58, all P>0.05). Within the typical development group, there were no significant correlations between language ability and social interaction, repetitive stereotypes, and limited interests ( r=0--0.22, all P>0.05). However, overall language, receptive, semantics, and expressive language abilities were negatively correlated with communication ( r=-0.28--0.36, all P<0.05), and there was no significant correlation between syntax and communication ( r=-0.24, P>0.05) in typical developmental group. Conclusions:The majority of children with ASD manifest language development disorders, mainly in the aspects of expressive and syntax language. Children with ASD with more delayed developmental level have more severe language disorder. About half children with ASD with normal development have language development disorders. The language ability of children with ASD is minimally correlated with ASD core symptoms.

To explore the clinical characteristics, risk factors and factors affecting the severity of the disease in patients with diabetic foot at the current stage through a multi-center cross-sectional survey.
 Methods: Clinical data of 326 patients with diabetic foot (205 males and 121 females) from 13 general hospitals nationwide were collected from October to November 2017 using a unified clinical data collection table. The clinical characteristics were analyzed, and the influential factors for severe diabetic foot were analyzed by logistic regression analysis.
 Results: Among 326 patients with diabetic foot, 68.4% of the patients were more than 60 years old, and 60.1% of the patients received primary or junior high school education; 96.3% of the patients developed Type 2 diabetes; 80.1% of patients had glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c)≥7%; 60.1% of patients suffered dyslipidemia. Improper wearing of footwear (38.5%) is the main cause of diabetic foot. Diabetic neuropathy (76.7%), diabetic retinopathy (62.3%) and lower limb vascular disease (57.4%) were the most common complications. Logistic regression analysis showed that diabetic nephropathy, diabetic lower extremity vascular disease, and HbA1c levels were independent risk factors for severe diabetic foot, and receiving foot care education can be regarded as a protective factor.
 Conclusion: The diabetic foot occurs mostly in male patients, and Type 2 diabetes with older age, lower education level, poor glycemic control and dyslipidemia are the risk factors. Diabetic nephropathy, diabetic lower extremity vascular disease, HbA1c, and receiving foot care education are independent influential factors for the severity of diabetic foot.
