Occupational disease diagnostician (ODD) is the core technology professional who is responsible for occupational disease diagnosis and identification and the main inspection work for occupational medical examination. The implementation of regular assessment management for ODDs is a key component of standardized workforce management, which facilitates dynamic evaluation of professional competence, regulation of medical practice, and assurance of medical safety. Since January 2025, Guangdong Province has implemented regular assessment management for ODDs within its administrative region. The assessment adopts an integrated model consisting of three components including professional competency evaluation, performance appraisal, and professional ethics evaluation, with each assessment cycle lasting three years. ODDs who passed all three components are classified as qualified ODD, whereas those who failed to pass any one of the three components result in an unqualified assessment outcome. In the implementation of ODD regular assessment management, Guangdong Province has emphasized integrating assessment with quality evaluation, strengthening full-cycle supervision of ODDs′ professional conduct, optimizing assessment strategies for special groups of ODDs, and reinforcing the primary management responsibility of medical institutions. Meanwhile, ODDs′ professional competence, service quality, and professional integrity have been continuously promoted by adopting human-computer interactive assessments, information-based assessment management, and "elimination" mechanism.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of accelerator-based boron neutron capture therapy (AB-BNCT) in the treatment of recurrent and refractory malignant tumors.Methods:The data of 14 patients admitted to Xiamen Humanity Hospital from September 2022 to April 2023 were prospectively collected, including 7 patients with primary brain malignancies and 7 patients with locally recurrent inoperable head and neck malignancies. All patients received intravenous infusion of boron drug (NBB-001, p-dihydroxyborylphe nylalanine, a patented freeze-dried formulation) at a total nominal dosage of 500 mg/kg (11 patients) or 750 mg/kg (3 patients), and were irradiated with neutrons (operating with NeuPex system). Adverse events after treatment were recorded and assessed. The primary efficacy endpoint was the 90 d objective response rate (ORR), while the secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS) and complete response rate (CRR). Data were compiled and analyzed by SAS 9.4 software. The rate and 95% CI were calculated using Clopper-Pearson method. Results:The median dose delivered to 80% of the target volume (D 80%) was 16.80 GyE (range: 8.93-23.79 GyE). The most common adverse reactions were hyperamylasemia, alopecia, and hyperprolactinemia. Five patients experienced 8 cases of grade 3 or above adverse events, including 1 case of grade 4 acute kidney injury and 7 cases of grade 3 adverse events. All adverse events were recovered after observation or treatment. At 90 d after treatment, the ORR of all patients was 9/14 (64%, 95% CI: 35%-87%), disease control rate (DCR) was 10/14 (71%, 95% CI: 42%-92%), CRR was 2/14 (14%, 95% CI: 2%-42%); and the best overall response during the entire course included an ORR of 10/14 (71% ,95% CI: 42%-92%), DCR of 13/14 (93%, 95% CI: 66%-100%), and CRR of 3/14 (21% ,95% CI: 5%-51%). The 1-year survival rate for head and neck malignancies was 71.4%, and the 2-year survival rate was 42.8%. The 1-year survival rate for recurrent brain malignancies was 42.8%. Conclusion:AB-BNCT demonstrates favorable safety and promising efficacy in treating primary brain malignancies and recurrent/refractory head and neck malignancies, representing a potential therapeutic option.

Objective To investigate the safety of totally thoracoscopic mitral valve reoperation with hypothermia-induced ventricular fibrillation arrest in elderly patients.Methods Clinical data of 108 elderly patients undergoing redo mitral valve surgery in our department from January 2008 to October 2024 were retrospectively collected,and according to surgical approach,they were di-vided into a totally thoracoscopic group(totally thoracoscopy with hypothermia-induced ventricu-lar fibrillation arrest,46 cases)and a median sternotomy group(cardiac arrest after median ster-notomy,62 cases).Their perioperative data were compared between the two groups.Results There were no statistical differences in baseline data between the two groups(P＞0.05).When compared with the median sternotomy group,the totally endoscopic group had significantly longer cardiopulmonary bypass time and higher mitral valvuloplasty rate and postoperative LVEF value,but obviously reduced lowest intraoperative temperature,lower blood transfusion rate,less vol-ume of suspended red blood cells transfused,decreased troponin T level 1 d postoperatively,shor-ter duration of mechanical ventilation and lengths of ICU stay and postoperative hospital stay,and less postoperative drainage volume(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).But there were no statistical differences between the two groups in terms of postoperative stroke(6.52％vs 3.23％,P=0.420)or in-hospital death(6.52％vs 6.45％,P=0.988).Conclusions Totally thoracoscopy with hypothermi-a-induced ventricular fibrillation arrest is safe and reliable for the elderly patients who need to receive mitral valve reoperation.

Objective:To apply artificial intelligence（AI）in classifying ovarian tumors on ultrasound images，and compare the diagnostic results of several sonographers with varying seniority levels.Methods:A total of 645 patients diagnosed with adnexal masses via gynecological ultrasound examination at Qilu Hospital of Shandong University from January 2021 to December 2024 were enrolled. Three deep learning architectures，i.e.，Alexnet，Densenet121，and Resnet50 were developed and used to internally test the classification effectiveness of ovarian tumors，while the optimal model was selected for external testing. Two junior sonographers and two senior sonographers were recruited to independently diagnose ovarian tumors in the external test dataset. Subsequently，the benign and malignant results of the model's predictions were disclosed to each sonographer，and their revised diagnoses on the same external test data in combination with the best AI model were recorded.Results:The optimal model achieved an accuracy of 0.941，sensitivity of 0.936，and specificity of 0.944 on the internal test dataset，and maintained robust performance on the external test dataset with accuracy of 0.891，sensitivity of 0.880，and specificity of 0.907. Compared to junior sonographers，the optimal model demonstrated significantly higher sensitivity in discriminating benign from malignant ovarian tumors（0.880 vs. 0.723，0.602；all P<0.05）. No statistically significant difference was observed in diagnostic accuracy between the optimal model and senior sonographer 1（ P=0.05）. With assistance from the optimal model，junior sonographers achieved significant improvements in both sensitivity and specificity（sensitivity：0.723 vs. 0.843，0.602 vs. 0.819；specificity：0.778 vs. 0.833，0.685 vs. 0.741；all P<0.05）. Conclusions:The optimal model achieves comparable performance to that of senior sonographers in ovarian tumor classification. With model assistance，the diagnostic performance of junior sonographers is significantly improved.

This article presents a case study of a patient who visited the Geriatric Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital due to "palpitations, shortness of breath for more than 2 years, limb weakness for 6 months, edema, and nocturnal dyspnea for 2 months". The patient exhibited decreased muscle strength in the limbs and involvement of swallowing and respiratory muscles, alongside complications of heart failure and various arrhythmias which were predominantly atrial. Laboratory tests revealed the presence of multiple autoantibodies and notably anti-mitochondrial antibodies. Following a comprehensive multidisciplinary evaluation, the patient was diagnosed with anti-mitochondrial antibody-associated inflammatory myopathy. Treatment involved a combination of glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants, along with resistance exercises for muscle strength and rehabilitation training for lung function, resulting in significant improvement of clinical symptoms. The case underscores the importance of collaborative multidisciplinary approaches in diagnosing and treating rare diseases in elderly patients, where careful consideration of clinical manifestations and subtle abnormal clinical data can lead to effective interventions.

Objective : To investigate the role of enhancer of zeste homolog 2(EZH2)-trimethylated lysine 27 of histone H3(H3K27me3) axis in the dedifferentiation of thyroid cancer and its clinical value as a potential target for the treatment of anaplastic thyroid cancer(ATC). Methods : Immunohistochemical SP method was used to detect the expression of EZH2, H3K27me3, paired box gene 8(PAX8), thyroglobulin(TG) and thyroid transcription factor 1(TTF1) in ATC and papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC) and their adjacent tissues. The relationship between EZH2 and thyroid differentiation markers(PAX8, TTF1, TG) was further analyzed by gene expression omnibus(GEO) database. ATC cell lines 8305C and BHT-101 were culturedin vitro. Real-time reverse transcription PCR(RT-qPCR) was used to detect the expression of thyroid differentiation markers(TTF1, PAX8) mRNA in ATC cell lines treated with EZH2 inhibitor(GSK126), and evaluate the potential therapeutic effect of GSK126in vitro. The effects of GSK126 and BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib on the proliferation of ATC cell lines were observed by cell proliferation assay. Results : The expression of EZH2 in ATC tissues was significantly higher than that in papillary thyroid carcinoma and adjacent tissues(P<0.05). The expression of H3K37me3 in ATC tissues was significantly lower than that in PTC tissues(P<0.05). EZH2 was negatively correlated with PAX8 and TG expression levels, but not with TTF1 expression level.In vitroexperiments, GSK126 could reverse the expression of thyroid differentiation markers PAX8 and TTF1 in ATC cell lines. GSK126 combined with BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib could significantly inhibit the growth of ATC cell lines. Conclusion The EZH2-H3K27me3 axis plays an important role in regulating thyroid specific markers, and the inhibition of EZH2 by small molecular compounds is a promising target for ATC treatment in the future.

Objective To analyze occupational exposure histories and clinical manifestations in three cases of occupational high altitude disease, and to identify key diagnostic points and prevention and treatment strategies. Methods The basic information, clinical characteristics, and occupational hazard exposure history of three patients with occupational high altitude disease were conducted using the retrospective analysis. Results The reason of these three pariticipants who visited high-altitude areas was work requirements. Case 1 experienced recurrent symptoms of altitude reactions during the prodromal stage and was clinically diagnosed with "high altitude sickness and cerebral edema". During transportation to a lower-altitude area, the patient passed through an area with a higher altitude (4 700 m), resulting in deterioration of the condition. Case 2 developed an upper respiratory tract infection and subsequently engaged in aerobic exercise, which aggravated the condition, eading to coughing up pink frothy sputum, followed by cerebral edema and bilateral pulmonary edema. Both cases developed acute cerebral edema and/or acute pulmonary edema due to severe hypobaric hypoxia and were diagnosed with occupational acute high altitude disease according to the GBZ 92-2008 Diagnostic Criteria of Occupational High Altitude Disease. Case 3 mainly presented with hearing loss, without clinical manifestations of high-altitude pulmonary edema or high-altitude cerebral edema, and thus could not be diagnosed with occupational acute high altitude disease. ConclusionThe key diagnostic criteria for occupational acute high altitude disease include a recent occupational history of working in high altitude environments and the presence of clinical manifestations of high altitude pulmonary edema or high altitude cerebral edema, with exclusion of other diseases presenting with similar symptoms. Preventive measures should be taken before workers enter high-altitude areas. Early symptoms of occupational high altitude disease are easily overlooked, so it is crucial to remain vigilant for warning signs and provide timely treatment.
