Background During urbanization, the passenger load on urban public transport systems continues to increase, exposing bus drivers to a high risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). This occupational health issue may also potentially compromise public transport safety. Objective To investigate the prevalence of MSDs among bus drivers in a first-tier city and to explore associated influencing factors. Methods A self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted from December 2024 to March 2025 among 1300 bus drivers in a bus company. Data were collected on general demographic information, occupational activities, and MSDs indicators. A total of 1268 valid questionnaires were returned, yielding a response rate of 97.5%. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the distribution characteristics of MSDs. Pearson χ² tests were employed to examine the association between MSDs prevalence and individual/occupational characteristics. Logistic regression was performed to identify the influencing factors of MSDs. Results The survey revealed that the prevalence of MSDs among the bus drivers was 28.5%, with the highest prevalence in the 41–50 years age group (30.5%). The conditions primarily affected the cervical spine (60.5%) and lumbar spine (61.9%), with some cases involving multiple sites. The logistic regression model indicated that the following factors were associated with a higher risk of MSDs: frequent smoking (OR=1.477), poor or moderate self-reported health status (OR=4.422), 11–20 years of service (OR=1.749), daily cumulative driving time ≥361 min (OR=1.616), frequent whole-body fatigue during driving (OR=2.077), occasional whole-body fatigue during driving (OR=1.873), feeling tense during driving (OR=1.518), fatigue after work (OR=2.485), work-related stress (OR=1.882), and prolonged smartphone use with head-down posture (OR=1.671). Conversely, occasional exercise (OR=0.713)/frequent exercise (OR=0.569), driving intervals ≥21 min per round (OR=0.645), and perceiving the driving seat comfortable (OR=0.429) were associated with a lower risk of MSDs. Conclusion Physical exercise, smoking, years of service, daily cumulative driving time, driving intervals per round, prolonged smartphone use with head-down posture, self-reported health status, and psychological factors such as work-related stress are influencing factors for MSDs among bus drivers. Drivers should increase physical exercise and change unhealthy living habits. Employers should optimize working conditions, arrange reasonable driving schedules, and foster a positive work environment to reduce MSDs prevalence.

ObjectiveTo understand the infection characteristics of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) in hospitalized patients in a tertiary sentinel hospital in Shanghai, so as to provide an evidence for the development of targeted prevention and control measures. MethodsData of MDROs strains and corresponding medical records of some hospitalized patients in a hospital in Shanghai from 2021 to 2023 were collected, together with an analysis of the basic information, clinical treatment, underlying diseases and sources of sample collection. ResultsA total of 134 strains of MDROs isolated from hospitalized patients in this hospital were collected from 2021 to 2023 , including 63 strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), 57 strains of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB), and 14 strains of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP). Of the 134 strains, 30 strains were found in 2021, 47 strains in 2022 and 57 strains in 2023. The male-to-female ratio of patients was 2.05∶1, with the highest percentage (70.90%) in the age group of 60‒<90 years. The primary diagnosis was mainly respiratory disease, with lung and respiratory tract as the cheif infection sites. There was no statistically significant difference in the distribution of strains between different genders and infection sites (P>0.05). However, the differences in the distribution of strains between different ages and primary diagnosis were statistically significant (P<0.05). Patients who were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), had urinary tract intubation, were not artery or vein intubated, were not on a ventilator, were not using immunosuppresants or hormones, and were not applying radiotherapy or chemotherapy were in the majority. There was no statistically significant difference in the distribution of strains for whether received radiotherapy or chemotherapy or not (P>0.05), while the differences in the distribution of strains with ICU admission history, urinary tract intubation, artery or vein intubation, ventilator use, and immunosuppresants or hormones use or not were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The type of specimen was mainly sputum, the hospitalized ward was mainly comprehensive ICU, the sampling time was mainly in the first quarter throughout the year, the number of underlying diseases was mainly between 1 to 2 kinds, the application of antibiotics ≥4 kinds, and those who didn’t receive any surgery recently accounted for the most. There were statistically significant differences in the distribution of strains between different specimen types, wards occupied and history of ICU stay (P<0.05), but no statistically significant difference in the distribution of strains between different sampling times, number of underlying diseases and types of antibiotics applied (P>0.05). ConclusionThe situation of prevention and control on MDROs in this hospital is still serious. Focus should be placed on high-risk factors’ and infection monitoring and preventive measures should be strengthened to reduce the incidence rate of MDROs infection.

Objective To establish the preliminary reference intervals for the percentage and fluorescence intensity ratio(FIR)for 12 platelet-leukocyte aggregates(PLAs)in peripheral blood circulation.Methods A total of 124 healthy individuals(61 males and 63 females)aged 18-90 years were selected from Beijing Jishuitan Hospital.Venous blood samples were collected in EDTA-K2 tubes for anticoagulation,and flow cytometry was used to measure the percentage and FIR of 12 types of PLAs.All the participants were grouped by gender for comparative analysis.Reference intervals for each parameter were calculated according to the WS/T 402-2024 standard.Results The percentages of platelet-T lymphocyte aggregates,platelet-CD4+T lymphocyte aggregates,and platelet-CD8+T lymphocyte aggregates in males were significantly lower than those in females(all P＜0.05).The FIRs of platelet-T lymphocyte aggregates,platelet CD8+T lymphocyte aggregates,platelet-B lymphocyte aggregates,and platelet-NK cell aggregates in males were significantly higher than those in females(all P＜0.05).Conclusion The preliminary reference intervals for the percentage and FIR of 12 types of PLAs in healthy adults have been established.Different gender may influence the detection results of platelet-leukocyte aggregates,especially platelet-lymphocyte aggregates,and the corresponding FIR values in healthy adults.Further large-scale studies should be necessary to confirm these findings.

Objective:To analyze the phenotypes and gene mutations of the three families with hereditary protein S (PS) deficiency caused by frameshift heterozygous variants.Methods:Case report and case series study. We investigate three probands and their family members (14 people from three generations) who registrated in Beijing Jishuitan Hospital of Capital Medical University from Feb 1st to 28th, 2025. The clinical data of the three probands and their family members were collected. The related coagulation tests of all members were detected. Protein S activity (PS:A) was determined using coagulation assay, and total protein S antigen (TPS:Ag) and free protein S antigen (FPS:Ag) were measured using ELISA. All exons and their flanking sequences of the probands were amplified using PCR technique, and gene analysis by direct sequencing, and variant genes were searched which were then verified by cloning sequencing, meanwhile, the corresponding variant loci of the family members were analyzed. A calibrated automated thrombin generation (CAT) method was used to study thrombin production. ClustalX-2.1-win software was used to analyze the conservatism of the mutant loci; Mutation Taster and Franklin.genoox online bioinformatics software were used to predict the pathogenicity of the mutant loci; PyMol software was used to analyze the changes in protein spatial structure before and after mutation.Results:The PS:A, TPS:Ag and FPS:Ag of the three probands with hereditary PS deficiency were decreased. Genetic sequencing identified a total of three PROS1 genetic variants, and all the three probands were heterozygous frameshift variants: p.Gln51Argfs*2 in Proband A; p.Met251Valfs*17 in Proband B; and Thr478tyrfs*21 in Proband C. Conservative analysis showed that p.Gln51, p.Met251 and p.Thr478 loci were not conserved among the homologous species; Mutation Taster and Franklin.genoox analysis showed that these variants were pathogenic; protein structure model analysis showed that p.Gln51Argfs*2, p.Met251Valfs*17 and p. Thr478Tyrfs*21 variants may result in altered protein spatial structure.Conclusion:The heterozygous frameshift variations of PS p.Gln51Arg fs*2, p.Met251Valfs*17 and p.Thr478Tyrfs*21 would alter the spatial structure of PS molecules, and reduce their structural stability, leading to PS deficiency.

Objective:To evaluate the quality and item characteristics of the Brief Job Stress Questionnaire (BJSQ) among employees in manufacturing and service industries.Methods:From December 2021 to December 2022, a total of 2077 employees from 4 manufacturing and service enterprises in Beijing were selected by the method of combining purpose sampling and convenience sampling. The Chinese version of BJSQ was used to carry out a survey on occupational stress from 57 items in 4 dimensions including job stress factors, stress response, social support factors and satisfaction. Classical test theory (CTT) was used to analyze the validity and reliability of the questionnaire. The Semejima hierarchical response model in item response theory (IRT) was used to analyze the differentiation a, difficulty coefficient b and information content of each item.Results:Among the 2077 subjects, the age M ( Q1, Q3) was 33 (28, 37) years old, and the working age M ( Q1, Q3) was 4 (2, 8) years. There were 723 (34.8%) people in manufacturing industry and 1354 (65.2%) people in service industry. Eleven common factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis, with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 62.823%, the variance of the common factors of each entry ranging from 0.451 to 0.865, and the range of factor loading values from 0.413 to 0.825, with 5 items having cross-loadings. The results of the validation factor analysis showed that the model fit indexes of root means square error of approximation was 0.055, comparative fit index was 0.950, Tucker Lewis index was 0.948, and standardized root mean square was 0.066. Content validity results showed that the total scores of the Chinese version of the BJSQ were positively correlated with the scores of the 4 dimensions ( rs=0.487-0.936, P<0.05) . The results of the reliability analysis showed that the Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the total questionnaire was 0.945, and the Cronbach's alpha coefficients of job stress factors, stress response and social support factors were 0.775, 0.957, and 0.830, respectively. The Spearman-Brown coefficient for the total questionnaire was 0.866, and for the 3 dimensions, it was 0.572, 0.882 and 0.772. The results of IRT analysis showed that only 1 of the 57 items had a differentiation a-value<0.30, the difficulty coefficient b-value of each item ranged from -12.02 to 11.09, of which 8 items had a difficulty coefficient that was too high, 3 items had a difficulty coefficient that was too low, and 3 items did not meet the requirements, and the average amount of information in each item ranged from 0.022 to 2.566, and there were 47 items with average amount of information>0.088 (5/57) . Conclusion:The Chinese version of BJSQ has good reliability and validity in the typical occupational groups of manufacturing and service industries in China, and most of the items have good performance, but some items still need to be further improved and optimized or deleted.
