{L-End}Objective To study the situation of occupational noise exposure and hearing loss in workers in petrochemical enterprises. {L-End}Methods A total of 2 052 workers from four large-scale petrochemical enterprises in China were selected as the research subjects using convenience sampling method. The noise-exposed level of job position was detected by individual noise dosimeters, and pure-tone audiometry of the workers was conducted. {L-End}Results The noise-exposed levels at various job positions in the workplace of the enterprises ranged from 83.2 to 86.7 dB(A), and 61.1% of the job positions had a cumulative noise exposure (CNE) > 95.0 dB(A) per year. The detection rate of high-frequency hearing loss was 12.6%(259/2 052) among the research subjects. The detection rate of speech frequency hearing loss was 5.5%(112/2 052) among the research subjects. The result of CNE stratified analysis showed that the detection rate of hearing loss at frequencies of 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, and 6.0 kHz, as well as high frequencies, gradually increased with increasing CNE (all P<0.05). {L-End}Conclusion The noise hazard in petrochemical enterprises is severe, and long-term occupational noise exposure can increase the risk of hearing loss among workers. Efforts should be made to strengthen noise control and hearing protection measures.

{L-End}Objective To estimate the number of workers with occupational noise-induced hearing loss (ONHL) in the manufacturing industry of China in 2020. {L-End}Methods Multiple data sources were integrated to collect information on workers in the manufacturing industry from the Occupational Diseases and Hazards Monitoring Information System under China Disease Prevention and Control Information System. The total number of workers was split based on age from the 2018 Fourth National Economic Census and the 2020 National Survey of Occupational Disease Hazards. Additionally, data on the prevalence of hearing loss in the general population was adjusted based on the age composition of Jilin Province, and noise prevalence was standardized based on the age composition of the employed population in the Seventh National Population Censu. Attribution fractions (AF) was estimated. The prevalence ratio (PR) was calculated by the prevalence of hearing loss in the occupational noise-exposed workers and general population. The proportion and attributable cases (AC) of ONHL cases in all hearing loss cases were estimated for occupational noise-exposed workers. The number of ONHL was estimated based on AF and the total number of workers with hearing loss. {L-End}Results In 2020, a total of 30 059 525 workers were exposed to occupational noise in the manufacturing industry in China, with noise-exposed prevalence and standardized noise-exposed prevalence of 28.94% and 28.52%, respectively. The prevalence of hearing loss among occupational noise-exposed workers increased with age, and a total of 8 054 789 workers suffered from hearing loss. Most of the cases were at the age between 45-<55 years old. The total PR and 95% uncertainty interval (UI) was 2.83 (2.58-3.06) and the total AF and 95%UI was 64.63% (61.22%-67.30%), and both peaks were in the age of 30-<45 years. The AC and 95%UI was 5 205 980 (4 930 620-5 420 345) persons, and most of the cases were at the age between 40-<55 years. {L-End}Conclusion Occupational noise poses a serious threat to the hearing health of workers in the manufacturing industry of China, especially among middle-aged and young adults.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the risks of prescription drugs sold online by drug retail enterprises， and to provide countermeasures and suggestions for risk prevention and control of prescription drugs sold online. METHODS The risk hierarchy structure model of prescription drugs sold online by drug retail enterprises was constructed by using analytic hierarchy process. Multiple rounds of risk research and judgment were carried out on 123 pairs of evaluation indicators by using Delphi expert survey method. The normalized weight calculation and consistency test of risk judgment matrix were carried out to perform fuzzy quantitative research. RESULTS The risk of prescription dispensing and review （6.48%）， the risk of drug first and prescription later （5.48%）， the risk of rational drug use guidance （4.99%）， the risk of buying drugs by abnormal channel （4.97%）， the risk of “first diagnosis， non-chronic disease and non-common disease” （4.43%）， and the quality and safety risk of returned drugs （4.34%） and the application risk of regulatory technology （4.06%） were high risks； the overall risk of drug retail enterprises （chain） selling prescription drugs online was 38.67%， and the overall risk of drug retail enterprises （individual） selling prescription drugs online was 61.33%， with a difference of 22.66% between them. CONCLUSIONS There were 7 high-risk indicators for prescription drugs sold online by drug retail enterprises. Among them， the risk of prescription dispensing and review， the risk of drug first and prescription later， and the risk of rational drug use guidance are the top three high-risk points. The risk of prescription drugs sold online by drug retail enterprises （individual） is higher than that of drug retail enterprises （chain）. It is recommended that regulatory authorities focus on and regulate the prescription drugs sold online by drug retail enterprises （individual）， and encourage drug retail enterprises （chain） to establish a systematic online sales process for prescription drugs； for high-risk points of prescription drugs sold online， it is recommended that regulatory authorities and drug retail enterprises focus on it and take effective risk prevention and control measures to ensure the safe use of prescription drugs by the general public.

Under the regulation of various cytokines and different concentrations of cytokines, primary CD4⁺ T cells can differentiate into different Th subgroups. T helper cells 17 (Th17) and regulatory T cells (Treg cells) are research hotspots in recent years. They play diverse immunomodulatory roles by secreting various target cytokines. Th17 and Treg cells are different from each other but connect with each other, their regulatory mechanism is complex, and they play important roles in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This paper reviews the progress of the differentiation, the development and the immunological function of Th17 and Treg cells and their immunomodulatory effect on the NSCLC.

Objective: To investigate the characteristics of asymmetric hearing loss in automobile manufacturing workers and the effect of occupational noise exposure on asymmetric hearing loss. Methods: A cross-sectional approach was used in this study. From March 2017 to February 2018, Subjects (7066) from four complete vehicle factories were given a pure tone audiometry (Hearing thresholds were measured at frequencies of 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 kHz in each ear) and were required to complete a health-related information questionnaire. According to the inclusion criteria, a total of 6339 workers were selected. The mean hearing thresholds for the left and right ears at overall frequencies were compared using the repeated means analysis of variance (ANOVA) test. The threshold differences at each frequency were compared using paired t tests. Results: The overall mean left minus right threshold difference across all frequencies was determined to be 0.58 dB, which met statistical significance (P<0.01) . Hearing threshold in the left ear was statistically significantly higher compared with the right ear at each frequency. The differences between binaural threshold shifts at each frequency among subjects with a asymmetry in terms of worse left ear and worse right ear were at the range of 6.17-9.87 dB and 6.39-10.92 dB, respectively. Hearing threshold in the left ear was statistically significantly higher compared with the right ear at only 2, 3 kHz of subjects with high-frequency hearing threshold shifts (HFHTs) more than 25 dB. Hearing threshold in the left ear was statistically significantly higher compared with the right ear at only 3 kHz of subjects with high-frequency hearing threshold shifts (HFHTs) more than 30 dB. With the increase of HFHTs, the proportion of subjects with a asymmetry at 2 and 3 kHz of more than 10 dB in terms of worse left ear and worse right ear increased. Conclusion The average hearing threshold of the left ear across overall frequencies is higher compared with the right ear, the proportion of the cases with a higher left ear hearing threshold is higher that that of the cases with a higher right ear hearing threshold. As hearing loss caused by occupational noise exposure getting worse, the proportion of the cases with a higher left ear hearing threshold and the cases with a higher right ear hearing threshold may tent to be the same.

Objective The basic biological, echocardiography and gene sequencing parameters of mice overexpressing Slit2 gene (Slit2-Tg mice) were collected and evaluated, and to provide a reference for the application of Slit2-Tg mice in biomedical research. Methods Slit2-Tg and C57BL/6 J mice were inbred. The genotypes of the mice were determined by a PCR assay. The blood samples were collected for blood routine and biochemical tests. The tissues of main organs were collected for protein expression and pathological analysis. Echocardiography and transcriptome sequencing was carried out for analyzing the heart function and gene expression, respectively. Results The litter size was significantly higher in the Slit2-Tg mice than in C57BL/6 J mice. Human Slit2 gene and protein expressions were detected in the main organs of Slit2-Tg mice. Organ coefficient of spleen was significantly increased in Slit2-Tg mice, but the tissue structure appeared normal. There were significant changes in the counts of erythrocytes, platelets, eosinophils, and biochemistry of glucose, globulin, urea nitrogen, triglycerides, HDL, and atherosclerosis index. Echocardiography showed no significant differences in the morphology and function of the Slit2-Tg hearts except in the left ventricular anterior wall thickness at the end-diastolic state. Compared with the C57BL/6 J mice, 535 genes out of 17513 genes in the Slit2-Tg hearts were increased or decreased, mainly involving 15 biological process or signal transduction pathways. Conclusions This study has collected the biological parameters of Slit2-Tg mice and suggests that this model animal is suitable for the studies of cardiovascular diseases.

Objective To investigate the changes and clinical significance of neck-shaft angle in the treatment of proximal humerus fractures with locking plate.Methods A retrospective case-control study was done on 214 cases of proximal humerus fractures treated with locking plate in our hospital from January 2008 to June 2016.According to the presence of medial bone defects,the cases were divided into medial bone defect group (85 cases) and non-medial bone defect group (129 cases).In medial bone defect group,there were 35 males and 50 females,with an average age of 63.3 years old.In this group,the cases of Neer three-part fractures and Neer four-part fractures were 47 and 38,respectively.In non-medial bone defect group,there were 51 males and 78 females,with an average age of 65.9 years old.In this group,the cases of Neer three-part fractures and Neer four-part fractures were 57 and 72,respectively.The preoperative humeral neck-shaft angle of contralateral humerus,and the humeral neck-shaft angle with its changes on the second postoperative day as well as 1,3,6 and 12 months after surgery were evaluated by the X-ray film.The Constant scores of the shoulder function were also assessed.Results The follow-up time for the patients ranged from 12 to 42 months (mean 24.2 months).In medial bone defect group,the preoperative neck-shaft angle of contralateral humerus,as well as neck-shaft angles of fractured side at five follow-up visits were (133.4±4.0) °,(134.7 ±11.5) °,(120.8±4.0) °,(118.5 ±3.5) °,(117.9 ±10.4) °and (114.7 ±4.4)°,respectively.While in the other group,the corresponding parameters were (134.0±2.4)°,(133.8± 17.1)°,(135.6± 2.9)°,(132.7± 2.8) °,(131.5 ± 13.5) °,(135.2 ± 2.8) °,respectively.There were significant differences between the two groups of the neck-shaft angle at 1,3,6 and 12 months (P ＜ 0.05).In the medial bone defect group,there were no significant differences between neck-shaft angle of contralateral humerus and the second postoperative day (P ＞0.05),but both of them are significantly greater than others(P ＜0.05).In the other group,except for the neck-shaft angles of postoperative 1 month and 6 months (P ＜ 0.05),there was no statistically significant difference between the angles in different time points(P ＞ 0.05).The mean Constant scores of medial bone defect group and no medial bone defect group were (69.3 ± 14.6) and (75.2 ± 12.6),respectively.Conclusions After the recovery of neck shaft angle,there is still a need of attention to the losses of neck shaft angle after surgery.Neck-shaft angle could be a reference for the treatment strategy of proximal humerus fractures with locking plate,which could guide the anatomical reduction as well as be used to evaluate the effects after surgery.It could also be a reference for function exercise.Moreover,the losses of neck shaft angle will be influenced by supporting from internal side,which could have effects on the function recovery after surgery.
