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.

Debates persist regarding the efficacy and safety of azvudine, particularly its real-world outcomes. This study involved patients aged ≥60 years who were admitted to 25 hospitals in mainland China with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection between December 1, 2022, and February 28, 2023. Efficacy outcomes were all-cause mortality during hospitalization, the proportion of patients discharged with recovery, time to nucleic acid-negative conversion (T NANC), time to symptom improvement (T SI), and time of hospital stay (T HS). Safety was also assessed. Among the 5884 participants identified, 1999 received azvudine, and 1999 matched controls were included after exclusion and propensity score matching. Azvudine recipients exhibited lower all-cause mortality compared with controls in the overall population (13.3% vs. 17.1%, RR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.67-0.90; P = 0.001) and in the severe subgroup (25.7% vs. 33.7%; RR, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.66-0.88; P < 0.001). A higher proportion of patients discharged with recovery, and a shorter T NANC were associated with azvudine recipients, especially in the severe subgroup. The incidence of adverse events in azvudine recipients was comparable to that in the control group (2.3% vs. 1.7%, P = 0.170). In conclusion, azvudine showed efficacy and safety in older patients hospitalized with COVID-19 during the SARS-CoV-2 omicron wave in China.

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.

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.

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.

To provide a theoretical basis for different drug decision-making scenarios by conducting a comprehensive clinical evaluation of nusinersen. Based on the method of multi-criteria decision analysis, a comprehensive clinical evaluation index system of nusinersen was established. This system, including core criterion model and contextualized criterion model, covered multiple evaluation dimensions such as safety, effectiveness, economy, and social attributes. The evidence of nusinersen in various criteria was summarized and integrated through systematic reviews. Then, different stakeholders were assigned weights and scores in various criteria of the core criterion model. Finally, a holistic value of nusinersen was estimatedthrough standardizing and combining the results in contextualized criterion model. The criteria, type of therapeutic benefit disease severity (0.08±0.02), unmet needs (0.08±0.01), quality of evidence (0.08±0.01), effectiveness (0.08±0.01) and safety (0.08±0.02) received the greatest weights after standardization. The higher mean scores for nusinersen versus placebo for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy were disease severity (4.8±0.4), innovation of the drug (4.7±0.6), expert consensus or clinical practice guidelines (4.5±0.6), effectiveness (4.0±1.0) and quality of evidence (4.0±0.8).The holistic value of nusinersen was 0.41. The overall impact of the contextualized model on the evaluation of the drug was 0.26, indicating that it may overestimate the comprehensive value of nusinersen. The method of multi-criteria decision analysis proves the positive role that nusinersen plays in spinal muscular atrophy treatment.
