Objective To analyze the occupational health literacy (OHL) level and its influencing factors of workers in non-metallic mineral product industry in Yunfu City. Methods A total of 947 frontline workers from 24 non-metallic mineral products enterprises in Yunfu City were selected as the research subjects using the stratified random sampling method. The OHL level of the workers were assessed using the Occupational Health Literacy Questionnaire of National Key Populations. Results The overall OHL level of the research subjects was 58.3% (552/947). The OHL levels across four dimensions, from highest to lowest, were basic knowledge of occupational health protection (94.7%), healthy work practices and behaviors (81.8%), legal knowledge of occupational health (65.5%), and basic skills of occupational health protection (25.9%). The results of binary logistic regression analysis showed that workers with 2.0-<10.0 years and ≥10 years of work experience had higher OHL levels than those with <2.0 years of work experience (all P<0.01). Workers with a high school education or above had higher OHL levels than those with a junior high school education or below (all P<0.01). Workers in large- and medium-sized enterprises had higher OHL levels than those in small and micro-sized enterprises (both P<0.01). Conclusion The OHL levels of workers in Yunfu City's non-metallic mineral products industry can be further improved, particularly the occupational health protection skills and related legal knowledge. Workers with short seniority, low educational level, and in small and micro enterprises should be the key groups for improving OHL levels.

Sepsis is a fatal organ dysfunction caused by the uncontrolled inflammatory response of the host to infection. Excessive inflammatory reaction is the core factor in the occurrence and development of sepsis, the degree of organ dysfunction is directly related to the prognosis of sepsis. Timely intervention of excessive inflammatory response and alleviation of organ function damage are essential to improve the prognosis of sepsis. Maresin-1 (MaR-1) is a newly discovered endogenous specific pro-inflammatory resolution mediator, which plays a role of anti-inflammatory, pro-inflammatory regression and organ protection in sepsis, and may be a new target for the treatment of sepsis. This article reviews the research progress of the role of MaR-1 in the regulation of inflammation and organ protection in sepsis, in order to provide reference for the clinical development of new drugs for the treatment of sepsis.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of Shengmaisan combined with polymyxin B in the treatment of carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacillus infection with sepsis complicated with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome. MethodA total of 90 patients suffering from carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacillus infection with sepsis complicated with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group， with 45 cases in each group. The control group was treated with polymyxin B， and the observation group was treated with Shengmaisan combined with polymyxin B. The treatment course of both groups was seven days. The infection-related indicators ［white blood cell （WBC） count， procalcitonin （PCT）， neutrophil apolipoprotein （HNL）］， inflammatory factors ［interleukin-6 （IL-6）， serum chemokine ligand 2 （CXCL2）］， and T lymphocyte subpopulations （CD3⁺， CD4⁺， CD8⁺， and CD4⁺/ CD8⁺ value）， acute physiological and chronic health Ⅱ （APACHE Ⅱ） score before and after treatment， as well as bacterial clearance rate and 28-day survival rate after treatment were observed. Result① The experiment was completed， and 81 cases were included， including 41 cases in the observation group and 40 cases in the control group. The general data of the two groups were comparable. ② The bacterial clearance rate of the observation group and the control group was 75.6% （31/41） and 52.5% （21/40）， respectively， and the observation group was higher than the control group （χ²=4.7， P<0.05）. ③ The WBC count， PCT， HNL， IL-6， CXCL2， and APACHE Ⅱ scores of the observation group and the control group all decreased after treatment （P<0.05）. Except for the WBC count， the PCT， HNL， IL-6， CXCL2， and APACHE Ⅱ scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group （P<0.05）. ④ The values of CD3⁺， CD4⁺， and CD4⁺/CD8⁺ in the observation group were increased after treatment （P<0.05）， and CD8⁺ was decreased （P<0.05）. In the control group， only CD3⁺ value was increased （P<0.05）. The values of CD3⁺， CD4⁺， and CD4⁺/CD8⁺ in the observation group were higher than those in the control group， and the value of CD8⁺ was lower than that in the control group （P<0.05）. ⑤ The 28-day survival rate in the observation group was higher than that in the control group （χ²=4.3， P<0.05）. ConclusionShengmaisan combined with polymyxin B in the treatment of carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacillus infection with sepsis complicated with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome can better clear bacteria， control infection， reduce the level of inflammatory factors， regulate the immune state of the body， and improve the short-term prognosis.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) for radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) and the underlying mechanism. Methods Forty-five healthy adult male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control, model, and BMSCs groups. The model and BMSCs groups received a single irradiation dose of 20 Gy to the chest, while the control group did not receive X-ray irradiation. For the BMSCs group, an injection of 1 × 10⁶ BMSCs cells was administered via the tail vein within 6 h after irradiation. In the 5th week, the lung tissue was taken to observe pathological changes with HE staining; examine the expression of the inflammatory factors interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) with immunohistochemical staining; observe the polarization of macrophages with immunofluorescence staining; and measure the expression of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition markers E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and vimentin proteins by Western blot. Results After radiation, the model group developed pulmonary vasodilation and congestion with septal thickening and inflammatory cell infiltration, and these changes were markedly reduced in the BMSCs group. The model group showed significantly down-regulated expression of IL-6 and TNF-α compared with significantly increased levels in the model group (P < 0.01, P < 0.05). Treatment with BMSCs significantly increased the polarization of lung macrophages towards the M2 type, while significantly decreasing the abnormally increased N-cadherin and vimentin levels in RILI mice (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Conclusion BMSCs have therapeutic effects for RILI mice, which may be through promoting macrophage polarization from M1 to M2.

Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma(IVLBCL)is an aggressive extranodal large B-cell lymphoma,cocurrence in the same organ with other malignancies is very rare,especially in the lung.Here,we report a rare case of lung adenocarcinoma with IVLBCL.The patient was admitted to the hospital due to diarrhea associated with fever and cough.A computed tomography(CT)scan of the chest showed an irregular patchy high-density shadow in the upper lobe of the right lung with ground-glass opacity at the margin.After admission,the patient was given anti-infection treatment,but still had inter-mittent low fever(up to 37.5 oC).The pathological diagnosis of percutaneous lung biopsy(PLB)was lepidic-predominant ad-enocarcinoma with local infiltration,which was proved to be invasive nonmucinous adenocarcinoma of the lung with IVLBCL after surgery.This paper analyzed the clinicopathological characteristics and reviewed the relevant literature to improve the knowledge of clinicians and pathologists and avoid missed diagnosis or misdiagnosis.

Objective:To explore the psychological experiences of lung cancer patients during treatment based on the perspective of narrative medicine,and to provide references for targeted nursing interventions.Methods:Guided by the concept of narrative medicine,the phenomenological method of qualitative research was used to conduct in-depth interviews with 20 lung cancer patients.The interview data were analyzed,refined,and summarized by using the content analysis method.Results:From the perspective of the humanistic value of narrative medicine,four themes were extracted from the interview contents with 20 lung cancer patients,including the loss of patients'role identity,the experience of disease uncertainty,the fear and expectation of death,and the helplessness and perception of life.Conclusion:During the treatment process of lung cancer patients,there are negative psychological experiences,such as loss of role identity,uncertainty of disease,fear of death,and hope to leave with dignity.Meanwhile,there are positive perceptions,such as contemplation of the meaning of life and actively coping with it.

Objective To investigate the clinical features in children with invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) and early warning indicators of severe case.Methods The case data of 101 children inpatients with IPD isolated Streptococcus pneumoniae (Sp) at least once blood culture in this hospital from January 2007 to De-cember 2021 were collected retrospectively.The children patients were divided into the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) group (35 cases) and general ward group (66 cases) according to whether or not entering PICU during hospitalization.The general clinical data,infection types and results of drug sensitivity test and bacteri-al strain serotype identification were compared between the two groups and analyzed.Results Compared with the general ward group,the male proportion,proportions of complicating nervous system disease and iron-defi-ciency anemia,winter incidence rate,disturbance of consciousness,convulsion,dyspnea,heart rate increase,oc-currence rate of vomiting and diarrhea,proportion of peripheral blood neutrophilic granulocytes,C reactive protein (CRP),lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) level,Hb<90 g/L,LDH>700 U/L,creatine kinase isoenzyme-MB (CK-MB) abnomality,proportions of bacterial meningitis,sepsis and severe pneumonia in the PICU group were higher,the proportion of 3-97 percentile of body weight,bronchopneumonia and no-focus blood stream infection were lower,WBC,Hb and albumin level were lower,and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Eleven kinds of serotypes were identified in this study,ranking the top five in order were 6B,14,19F,23F and 19A.Pneumococcal 13-valent conjugate vaccine (PCV13) could cover 96.9％ of the IPD sero-types.The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that consciousness disturbance,convulsion,per-centage of neutrophils increase,Hb<90 g/L,LDH>700 U/L and CK-MB abnormality indicated the condition of IPD children patients was critical,which was the early-warning indicator of entering PICU (P<0.05).Con-clusion Severe IPD lacks the early specific early-warning indicator,and the cover rate of PCV13 is high.

Objective To analyze the cellular senescence pathways and their associated genes with bioinformatic analysis by screening differentially expressed genes(DEGs)during embryonic kidney development with aid of transcriptomics in order to explore the relationship between cellular senescence and embryonic kidney development.Methods After the kidney tissues from mice at embryonic age of 14.5 days(E14.5 group)and 18.5 days(E18.5 group)were collected,the kidney tissue structure was observed with periodic acid Schiff(PAS)staining,the expression profiles of the related genes during embryonic kidney development were analyzed by transcriptomics,and the changes in the genes related to cellular senescence were further analyzed with bioinformatics.The expression levels of target genes were verified by real-time quantitative fluorescence PCR and Western blotting.Results With the development of the embryonic kidney,the kidney structure gradually matured.The results of transcriptomic and bioinformatic analyses revealed that cellular senescence-related genes played an important role in the development of embryonic kidney.The mRNA and protein levels of Cdkn1a(P21),which was correlated with cellular senescence,were significantly higher(P＜0.05),while the mRNA levels of Skp2,Ccne1,Ccnd2,and Cdk4 were decreased in the E1 8.5 group than the E14.5 group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Obvious changes in the expression levels of cellular senescence-related genes are observed during embryonic kidney development,suggesting that cellular senescence plays an important role in the development.

Objective To investigate the effect of down-regulating adenosine deaminase acting on RNA-1(AD AR1)on the radiosensitivity of lung adenocarcinoma cells.Methods Lentiviral transfection was used to establish an ADAR1 knockdown cell line based on A549 cells.Then the cells were divided into negative control(shNC)and ADAR1 knockdown(shADAR1)groups,which were followed by a single-dose irradiation of 0 Gy and 6 Gy X-rays.Western blotting and RT-PCR were utilized to detect the expression of AD AR1 at protein and mRNA levels,respectively.CCK-8 assay,wound healing assay and Transwell migration assay were applied to measure cell proliferation and migration abilities.Meanwhile,clone formation assay was performed to detect the effect of down-regulating ADAR1 on the radiosensitivity of A549 cells.Flow cytometry and Western blotting were conducted to detect the expression levels of apoptosis and apoptosis-related proteins Bax and Bcl-2.Immunofluorescence assay and Western blotting were used to detect the expression level of γ-H2AX.Comet assay was performed to detect the level of cellular DNA damage.Twelve female nude mice(4～6 weeks old,weighing 16～18 g)were divided into shNC group,shADAR1 group,shNC+ionizing radiation(IR)group and shADAR1+IR group,with 3 mice in each group.The growth of tumor of different groups was observed with subcutaneous tumorigenesis assay.Results Western blotting and RT-qPCR showed that the protein and mRNA expression of ADAR1 were significantly reduced in A549 shADAR1 cells(P＜0.05).CCK-8 assay,wound healing assay and Transwell migration assay indicated that down-regulation of ADAR 1 inhibited the proliferation and migration abilities of A549 cells,and this inhibition trend became more obvious(P＜0.01)after IR.Cell clone formation assay showed that the clone formation rate of both groups was decreased,with the increase of radiation dose.But the number of formed clones was lower in the shADAR1 group than the shNC group.Flow cytometry and Western blotting displayed that down-regulation of AD AR1 increased the apoptotic rate and Bax expression in A549 cells(P＜0.01)and decreased Bcl-2 expression(P＜0.05),and the apoptotic rate and Bax protein level were further increased in A549 shADAR1 cells after IR(P＜0.01),and the Bcl-2 protein level was further decreased(P＜0.01).The number of γ-H2AX foci and protein level in A549 shADAR1 cells were significantly increased after IR(P＜0.05),and the results of comet assay showed that the DNA damage was more obvious in A549 shADAR1 cells after IR(P＜0.01).Subcutaneous tumorigenesis assay in nude mice showed that the growth of subcutaneous tumour of A549 shADAR1 cells was significantly inhibited after IR(P＜0.01).Conclusion Down-regulation of ADAR1 significantly inhibits the proliferation and migration of A549 cells after IR and promotes apoptosis and DNA damage,and thereby increases the radiosensitivity of lung adenocarcinoma cells.
