Background Occupational disease diagnosis appraisal is an appeal procedure initiated when a party disagrees with the occupational disease diagnosis conclusion. It is a legal procedure to safeguard the health rights of employees and the legitimate rights and interests of employers. Objective To analyze the data of occupational disease diagnosis appraisal in Shanghai, identify existing problems, and provide suggestions for improving. Methods Statistical analysis was conducted on basic situation, characteristics of workers and employers, disease classification, and consistency between diagnosis and appraisal conclusions of all occupational disease diagnosis appraisal cases from 2012 to 2024. All diagnosis conclusions were named in accordance with the Classified Catalogue of Occupational Diseases included employers were classified according to the Measures for the Statistical Classification of Large, Medium, Small and Micro Enterprises" and the Notice on Adjusting the Provisions for Classifying Enterprise Registration Types; industry classification followed the Industrial Classification for National Economic Activities (GB/T 4754-2017). Results From 2012 to 2024, a total of 260 cases of occupational diseases diagnosis appraisal were closed. The main diagnosis were 138 cases of ear, nose, throat, and oral diseases (53.1%), chemical poisoning (18.8%), and pneumoconiosis and other respiratory diseases (16.2%). The proportion of ear, nose, throat, and oral diseases gradually increased (2022 excluded). The incidence of annual municipal and provincial cases decreased by 76.3% and 85.0% respectively (2024 vs 2012). The consistency rate of conclusions between appraisal and diagnosis gradually increased. The total consistency rates between final appraisals and diagnostic conclusions were 81.5%, and 79.7%, 87.8%, 100.0%, 85.0% for ear, nose, throat, and oral diseases, chemical poisoning, and pneumoconiosis and other respiratory system diseases, respectively. Specifically, the consistency rates were 80.1% and 80.0% for noise-induced deafness and chronic benzene poisoning. In terms of inconsistency reasons, "inconsistent interpretation of standards and excessive discretion in standard application" accounted for 43.8%, followed by "failure to correctly apply standards" (31.3%) and and "discrepancies in occupational exposure history recognition" (15.6%). Conclusion The revisions and improvements of the legal system for occupational disease diagnosis appraisal have played a positive role in improving the consistency of conclusions between appraisal and diagnosis of occupational diseases in Shanghai. It is suggested to further strengthening the publicity and training of occupational disease diagnosis standards to improve the quality of occupational disease diagnosis.

Objective:To explore the role and mechanisms of action of human circular RNA 0001400 (hsa_circ_0001400) and its linear transcript RELL1 in the development of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) .Methods:KS-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) was induced and extracted from BCBL-1 cells by phorbol ester. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were then infected with KSHV, inverted microscopy and real-time fluorescence-based quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) were performed to observe cellular morphology and determine the expression of KSHV lytic gene ORF50 and latent gene LANA, respectively, so as to verify whether the infection was successful. HUVECs in the logarithmic growth phase were divided into 3 groups: HUVEC group (uninfected HUVECs), KSHV + HUVEC group (HUVECs infected with KSHV at a multiplicity of infection [MOI] of 0.5), and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitor group (HUVECs infected with KSHV at a MOI of 0.5 for 6 hours, followed by the treatment with 1 μmol/L MAPK inhibitor). Cell counting kit (CCK8) assay and flow cytometry were performed to assess the cellular proliferative ability and detect apoptosis in the above 3 groups, respectively. qRT-PCR and Western blot analysis were conducted to determine the transcription and protein expression levels of hsa_circ_0001400, its linear transcript RELL1, and rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (RAS) /MAPK signaling pathway-related genes in the HUVEC group and KSHV + HUVEC group. Five pairs of KS tissues and paraneoplastic tissues were collected, and mRNA expression of the above genes was verified by qRT-PCR in the KS tissue samples. Statistical analyses were performed using two-way analysis of variance, one-way analysis of variance, and t test. Results:Compared with the uninfected HUVECs, the infected HUVECs became rounder and grew more densely at 48 hours after the infection with KSHV. The mRNA expression of ORF50 and LANA genes could be detected in the KSHV-infected HUVECs, and their mRNA expression levels were significantly higher than those in the uninfected HUVECs (both P < 0.001), indicating successful infection of HUVEC by KSHV. The cellular proliferative rate in the KSHV + HUVEC group gradually increased over time during 24 to 72 hours after the infection, while that in the MAPK inhibitor group was markedly inhibited. The total apoptosis rate at 48 hours significantly differed among the 3 groups ( F = 673.98, P < 0.001), and was significantly higher in the MAPK inhibitor group than in the KSHV + HUVEC group and the HUVEC group (both P < 0.001), while there was no significant difference between the KSHV + HUVEC group and the HUVEC group ( P > 0.05). qRT-PCR showed that the mRNA expression of hsa_circ_0001400, RELL1, Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homologue (KRAS), MAPK11, and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) -2 was significantly higher in the KSHV + HUVEC group than in the HUVEC group (all P < 0.05), while ERK1 mRNA expression did not significantly differ between the 2 groups ( t = 0.92, P = 0.410). Western blot assay showed that the protein expression of RELL1, KRAS, MAPK11, ERK1, and ERK2 was significantly higher in the KSHV + HUVEC group than in the HUVEC group (all P < 0.01). The mRNA expression of RELL1, ERK1, and ERK2 was significantly higher in the KS tissues than in the paraneoplastic tissues (all P < 0.05) . Conclusion:KSHV infection may regulate the occurrence and development of KS by inducing the expression of hsa_circ_0001400 and its linear transcript RELL1, as well as activating the MAPK signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the practicality of TrueFidelity deep learning reconstruction algorithm in low-dose abdominal and pelvic CT angiography (CTA).Methods:The patients who required abdominal and pelvic CTA were prospectively included at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University from June 2020 to March 2021. All patients underwent low-dose CTA with a tube voltage of 80 kV and smart tube current modulation (100-720 mA). Images were reconstructed using the traditional FBP, adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction with a strength of 50% (ASIR-V 50%), TrueFidelity with medium (TF-M) and high (TF-H) strength. The CT value and standard deviation (SD value) of the abdominal aorta, psoas major muscle and subcutaneous fat in the same layer were measured, signal to noise ratio (SNR) and contrast to noise ratio (CNR) were calculated. We also introduced the measurement of skewness of CT value in psoas major muscle with uniform density. The above indexes of the four groups of reconstructed images were compared. A 5-point scoring method was used to evaluate the granularity, fuzziness and beam-hardening artifacts of all images. Objective measurement indicators, such as CT values, were tested by repeated measure ANOVA with the Bonferroni post hoc test.Results:There were forty-six patients in the study. The volume CT dose index of the scan was low at (1.09±0.31)mGy. There was no significant difference in CT values of vessels and muscles between the four groups ( P>0.05), but there was a significant difference in SD value( P<0.001). The SD value of the FBP group was the largest and that of the TF-H group was the smallest. The difference between SNR and CNR was statistically significant ( P<0.001), and the overall trend was opposite to that of the SD value. There was no significant difference in the skewness between the four groups. The granularity score of the FBP group was the largest, that of the TF-H group was the smallest, and there was a significant difference among the four groups. The score of fuzziness in the TF-H group was slightly higher than that in the other three groups, but there was no significant difference. The beam-hardening artifact score of FBP and ASIR-V 50% group was the worst, and the TF-H group was the best ( P<0.001). Conclusions:Compared with FBP and ASIR-V, TrueFidelity reconstruction algorithm provides better image quality (comprehensively considering image noise, fuzziness, uniformity, and hardening artifacts) in low-dose CT scanning of abdominal and pelvic vessels, and TF-H has the best image quality.

Da Chaihutang from the Treatise on Febrile Disease (Shanghanlun) has the function of harmonizing lesser Yang and discharging internal heat. It is formulated by ZHANG Zhongjing for the concurrent diseases of lesser Yang and Yang brightness and has been widely used in the treatment of digestive system diseases, especially malignant tumors. By review of the articles published in the last 20 years, this paper summarizes the application of Da Chaihutang in treating digestive system tumors from syndrome analysis, clinical research, and mechanism research. Da Chaihutang can treat the syndrome involving lesser Yang and Yang brightness in the digestive system, release interior and exterior to expel pathogen, and remove obstruction by conforming to the descending nature of the six fu-organs. In clinical practice, Da Chaihutang can directly treat digestive system malignant tumors such as liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, intestinal cancer, gastric cancer, and gallbladder cancer. In addition, it can relieve common complications of digestive system malignant tumors, such as cancerous fever, malignant obstructive jaundice, and constipation. Moreover, it can alleviate the adverse reactions caused by Western medical treatment, such as post-embolization syndrome, side effects of chemotherapy, and incomplete postoperative obstruction. Da Chaihutang is effective when used alone as it can relieve clinical symptoms, improve prognosis, and prolong survival of advanced patients and is safe and non-toxic, suitable for long-term use by tumor patients. Regarding the mechanism, Da Chaihutang can promote the apoptosis and inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells, reduce inflammation and inflammatory injury, and improve the liver function. The clear effect and mechanism confirms the anti-tumor effect of Da Chaihutang. This paper comprehensively describes the current research status of Da Chaihutang in the treatment of digestive system tumors and puts forward the deficiencies and improvement measures for the current research, aiming to provide reference for the application of this formula in treating digestive system tumors, the establishment of Chinese and Western medicine treatment schemes of tumors, and the research and development of anti-tumor drugs.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2024;45(1):25-29
Objective:
To describe the association of different sleep characteristics and cardiometabolic risk among college students, so as to provide reference for health promotion of college students.
Methods:
By random cluster sampling method, a questionnaire survey and physical examination including blood pressure, waist circumference and blood lipid indicators, which were conducted in April and May of 2019 among a total of 1 179 college students from the first grade in two universities in Hefei City of Anhui Province and Shangrao City of Jiangxi Province. A total of 729 college students with valid questionnaires were included into analysis. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) were used to investigate sleep behavior, and the Morning And Evening Questionnaire-5 (MEQ-5) was used to investigate sleep characteristics. The cardiometabolic risk score was derived using the sum of the standardized sex specific Z scores of waist circumference, mean arterial pressure, HDL cholesterol (multiplied by -1), triglycerides, and insulin resistance index. The rank sum tests were used to compare differences in cardiometabolic risk scores across demographic characteristics. Generalized linear models were used to compare the association of different sleep characteristics with cardiometabolic risk scores among college students.
Results:
The average cardiovascular metabolic risk score of college students was -0.32(-2.03, 1.58). There were statistically significant differences in cardiovascular metabolic risk scores among college students in variables such as smoking, health status, and physical activity levels ( t/F=-3.41, 12.88, 51.07, P <0.01). The results of the generalized linear model showed that nighttime preference ( B=1.89, 95%CI =1.02-3.49), insomnia symptoms ( B=3.25, 95%CI =1.79-5.90), and short or long sleep duration ( B=1.92, 95%CI =1.21-3.05) were positively correlated with the cardiovascular metabolic risk score of college students ( P <0.05).
Conclusions
Poor sleep patterns among college students are positively correlated with the risk of cardiovascular metabolism. The sleep behavior of college students should be actively changed to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Objective:To assess the effect of low-dose esketamine on postoperative cognitive function in elderly patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery.Methods:One hundred and twenty-four patients, aged 65-80 yr, regardless of gender, with a body mass index of 18-35 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ, were assigned to either esketamine group (group E, n=64) or control group (group C, n=60) using a random number table method. Group E received intravenous esketamine at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg, while group C received an equal volume of normal saline intravenously. Anesthesia was induced with intravenous fentanyl, propofol and rocuronium and maintained using combined intravenous-inhalational anesthesia in both groups. Patient-controlled analgesia was carried out postoperatively. Cognitive function tests including a simple mental state examination, auditory word learning test, tracking connection test A and B, number symbol replacement test, Boston naming test and complex graph test were performed at 1 day before surgery and 30 days after surgery, and postoperative cognitive dysfunction was determined using Z-score method. Delirium was assessed using Confusion Assessment Method from 1 to 7 days after operation. The operative hypotension, postoperative delayed emergence, nausea and vomiting, and hallucinations were recorded. The recovery time of spontaneous breathing, eye opening to verbal command and extubation time were recorded. Results:Compared with group C, the incidence of cognitive dysfunction at 30 days after surgery and intraoperative hypotension was significantly decreased ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the recovery time of spontaneous breathing, eye opening to verbal command, extubation time, incidence of postoperative delayed emergence, delirium, nausea and vomiting, and hallucinations in group E ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Low-dose esketamine can improve postoperative cognitive function in elderly patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery.
