Objective To understand the instrument distribution and capacities of inter-laboratory comparisons among occupational medical examination (OME) institutions in Guangdong Province. Methods A total of 291 OME institutions in Guangdong Province that were within the validity period of filing in June 2024 and 101 OME institutions that participated in inter-laboratory comparisons in 2023 were selected as the study subjects. Their filing categories, instrument distribution and external quality assessment in laboratories were collected and analyzed. Results The location of 291 OME institutions distributed in 21 prefectural-level cities in the province, mainly in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region, accounting for 68.4% of the total. The public hospitals, private medical institutions, the center for disease control and prevention and occupational disease prevention and treatment institutions (hereinafter referred to as "occupational prevention institutions") accounted for 61.2%, 28.5% and 10.3%, respectively. The filing rates for physical factors, chemical factors, and dust categories among OME institutions were 91.1%, 86.9%, and 86.6%, respectively. The average number of institutional instruments, from high to low, was 53.8, 38.8 and 38.2 per unit in occupational prevention institutions, private medical institutions and public hospitals, respectively. The passing rates of inter-laboratory comparisons among OME institutions of external quality assessment in laboratories among OME institutes in Guangdong Province, from high to low were occupational prevention institutions, public hospitals and private medical institutions (96.2% vs 86.8% vs 73.0%, P<0.05). Conclusion The regional distribution of OME institutes in Guangdong Province is unbalanced, mainly concentrated in the PRD region. Low overall level of OME capacity is found in public hospitals and private medical institutions. Leading by the occupational prevention institutions, public hospitals and private medical institutions should strengthen the development and investment in OME hardware, in order to improve the OME level.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the most common serious microvascular complications of diabetes.Many studies have shown that DR is caused by damage to the retinal neurovascular unit.As our understanding of the pathogenesis of DR is still limited, existing treatment methods have not achieved the ideal effect of delaying progression and curing the disease at the fundamental level of pathogenesis.To further clarify the occurrence and development mechanism of DR and explore more effective prevention and treatment methods, researchers have developed and used various cell models targeting specific cells and signaling pathways.Most of these cell models can simulate part of the pathological changes of DR, but they cannot fully simulate the physiological and pathological environments in the body.Therefore, researchers must consider the research purpose and observation indicators comprehensively, select an appropriate cell model, and confirm it through animal experiments.This review provides a comprehensive discussion about the normal distribution, physiological functions, pathological changes of DR and the modeling methods, pathological manifestations and research applications of these models.

Objective To analyze a case of violations by an occupational medical examination (OME) institution and to explore the key control points for the supervision and management of OME institutions, as well as the core role of quality assessment in this context. Methods An OME institution suspected of illegal activities was used as the study subject. Retrospective analysis was conducted. Clues of suspected violations were identified by an on-site quality assessment. After investigation and verification by the local health authorities, legal action was taken against the institution for its violations. Results During an on-site quality assessment, the Guangdong Province OME quality control expert group discovered that the OME institution violated regulations, including unqualified personnel file, exceeding the scope of services category, issuing false reports, failing to report suspected occupational diseases on time, and failing to notify workers about suspected occupational diseases as required. The evidence was then submitted to the Guangdong Province OME Quality Control Center, which subsequently forwarded the case to local health administration department for filing and investigation. After the investigation, penalties were imposed on the OME institution for its illegal activities. Conclusion The key supervision and inspection points in the quality assessment of OME institutions include personnel file configuration, the quality control management system and its implementation, the quality of OME reports, and information reporting. Quality assessment plays a pivotal role in ensuring the legal and compliant practice of OME institutions, safeguarding the health rights and interests of workers, and enhancing the overall standard of the OME industry.

Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of 18F-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-1007 PET/CT in patients with prostate imaging reporting and data system (PI-RADS) 1-3 lesions on multi-parametric MRI (mpMRI) and pathologically confirmed prostate cancer. Methods:Clinical, pathological, and imaging data of 59 patients (age (67.8±7.6) years) with PI-RADS 1-3 lesions on mpMRI in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University between December 2021 and March 2024 were retrospectively collected. Those patients also underwent 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT and prostate biopsy during the same period due to an elevated prostate specific antigen (PSA) level. The diagnostic performances of 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT for PI-RADS 1-3 prostate cancer and clinically significant prostate cancer were evaluated by using pathological results as the standard. Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare differences in clinical characteristics and PET parameters between PET-positive and PET-negative groups, and logistic regression analysis was performed to select independent influencing factors for the PET/CT diagnosis of prostate cancer. Results:Of the included 59 patients, 7, 27, and 25 had PI-RADS scores of 1, 2, and 3 respectively. Benign prostate hyperplasia was pathologically confirmed in 8 patients, and prostate cancer was confirmed in 51 patients, of which 37 had clinically significant prostate cancer. The sensitivity of 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT in diagnosing prostate cancer was 86.3%(44/51), the specificity was 2/8, the accuracy was 78.0%(46/59), the positive predictive value was 88.0%(44/50), and the negative predictive value was 2/9. For patients with clinically significant prostate cancer, the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were 91.9%(34/37), 27.3%(6/22), 67.8%(40/59), 68.0%(34/50), and 6/9, respectively. SUV max was significantly higher in the PET-positive group ( n=44) than that in the PET-negative group ( n=7; 12.8(9.1, 23.5) vs 5.1(5.0, 6.2); Z=-4.16, P=0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that SUV max was an independent influencing factor for the diagnosis of prostate cancer by 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT (odds ratio ( OR)=6.01, 95% CI: 1.57-23.00, P=0.009). Conclusions:18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT has a high sensitivity and positive predictive value in prostate cancer patients with PI-RADS 1-3 on mpMRI. It can be used as a supplementary modality to mpMRI to guide clinical decision for patients with PI-RADS 1-3 and clinically suspected prostate cancer lesions.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of a family physician-integrated "Pulmonary Health Home" (PHH) grid management model for community-based prevention and management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods:A randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted in Machong Town of Dongguan City from October 1st 2021 to September 30th 2024. The PHH platform was established, screening high-risk populations using the COPD Screening Questionnaire (COPD-SQ). Individuals scoring ≥16 underwent confirmatory pulmonary function tests (post-bronchodilator FEV?/FVC<0.7). A total of 120 clinically stable COPD patients were randomized to either the intervention group (PHH platform management) or control group (routine care). Outcomes including smoking behavior, COPD Assessment Test (CAT) scores, modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnea scale scores, frequency of acute exacerbations, and other indicators were assessed before the preintervention and after one year of management.Results:Among 4 572 screened individuals, 345 COPD cases were confirmed (detection rate: 7.55%), representing a 259% increase from the pre-intervention baseline (96 cases). After one year, compared to controls, the intervention group showed: significantly lower annual cigarette consumption (165.8±61.3 vs. 321.3±70.2, t=12.856),greater reduction in CAT scores (16.06±5.92 vs. 19.25±5.24, t=3.182), fewer acute exacerbations (0.71±0.32 vs. 2.46±0.48 times/year, t=24.503), higher patient satisfaction (87.9%(51/58) vs. 62.5%(35/56), χ2=10.203), better mastery of inhalation technique (82.4% (48/58) vs. 48.2%(27/56), χ2=13.843), increased clinician-patient interactions (13.5±3.2 vs. 4.2±1.5 times/year, t=19.876) (all P<0.05). Conclusion:The family physician-integrated PHH grid management model significantly enhances community-based COPD outcomes.
