Chinese Journal of Industrial Hygiene and Occupational Diseases 2025;43(3):175-179
Objective:To develop an individual noise exposure dose estimation model based on spatial distribution of noise in order to provide reference for occupational health management and hearing loss risk assessment caused by noise in workplace.Methods:From July 2018 to October 2019, 10 noise-exposed positions and 48 employees in 3 high-noise workplaces of a manufacturing enterprise in Sichuan Province were selected as the research objects. Occupational health survey, fixed-point measurement of workplace noise and individual noise measurement were used to obtain noise intensity and employee exposure information. The mean noise intensity and the corresponding exposure time were weighted to estimate the individual noise exposure dose estimation model based on the spatial distribution of workplace noise, and the paired t-test was used to evaluate the accuracy of the individual noise exposure dose estimate (8 h equivalent sound level, L EX, 8h) based on the spatial distribution of workplace noise and the measured value of individual noise exposure dose. And the least square regression model was used to correct it. Results:The daily noise exposure dose of 44 (91.7%) of 48 workers in 10 types of work in 3 sites of the manufacturing enterprise exceeded the standard, and the maximum noise exposure intensity was up to 108.3 dB (A). The measured value of individual noise exposure dose was higher than L EX, 8h, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001). The noise difference distribution was mostly positive and symmetrical ( P=0.958). The measured noise exposure dose of 6 out of 10 work types in 3 sites was higher than L EX, 8h (all P<0.05), and there was a linear correlation between the measured dose and L EX, 8h ( r=0.373, P<0.05). Considering the influence of systematic error and the construction, diagnosis and screening of adaptive assessment model, an individual noise exposure dose estimation model based on the spatial distribution of workplace noise was finally obtained: y=0.574 x+45.250, where y was the measured value of individual noise exposure dose, x was L EX, 8h value. Conclusion:The high noise hazard in manufacturing industry is more serious, and the noise exposure assessment of single fixed-point detection is relatively rough. The individual noise exposure dose estimation model based on the spatial distribution of workplace noise has a certain role in the occupational health management of workplace noise hazard in manufacturing industry.

Severe open tibiofibular fractures account for approximately 28.1% of all open fractures. Among them, Gustilo-Anderson type IIIB/C fractures present significant clinical challenges due to associated bone and soft tissue defects, high infection rates, and risk of amputation. Inadequate preoperative assessment may lead to suboptimal emergency surgical planning or intraoperative complications. Historically, external fixation was often preferred, but this approach has been associated with limitations such as restricted joint mobility, delayed bone union, joint stiffness, and disuse osteoporosis, resulting in poor functional recovery. With advancements of debridement techniques, standardization of antibiotic use, and popularization of early soft tissue coverage, early internal fixation has gained broader acceptance. Nevertheless, controversies persist regarding the choice of fixation method, timing of definitive fixation, use of reamed versus unreamed intramedullary nailing, and necessity of fibular fixation. To standardize the diagnosis and early management of severe open tibiofibular fractures, reduce complication rates, and improve functional recovery, the Society of Microsurgery of the Chinese Medical Association organized a panel of domestic experts to develop the Evidence-based guideline for the diagnosis and early fixation of severe open tibiofibular fractures ( version 2025), using evidence-based methodology. The guidelines provided 12 recommendations covering diagnostic and early fixation strategies of severe open tibiofibular fractures, aiming to provide clinicians with scientifically grounded and standardized guidance.

Objective:To discuss the risk factors for postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients undergoing pancreatic surgery.Methods:The clinical data of 488 patients who underwent pancreatectomy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from Jan 2016 to Sep 2024 was retrospectively analyzed.Results:One hundred and sixteen patients (23.8%) developed VTE after pancreatic surgery. Logistic analysis showed that advanced age, abdominal surgery history, high preoperative white blood cell count, high platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR), distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy, open surgery, conversion to open surgery, and long surgery duration were risk factors.Nomogram prediction model based on the above risk factors was constructed and the area under the ROC curve was subsequently measured to be 0.781 (95% CI: 0.731-0.830). Conclusion:The prevention and control of VTE should be strengthened for patients undergoing pancreatic surgery with advanced age, abdominal surgery history, high preoperative white blood cell count, high PLR, distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy, open surgery, conversion to open surgery, and long surgery duration.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics of biliary system diseases complicated by severe acute pancreatitis(SAP) and the risk factors.Methods:This is a retrospective cohort study. A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 159 SAP patients admitted to the Department of Pancreatic and Biliary Surgery,the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from January 2019 to October 2024. There were 105 male cases, 54 female cases;aged (42.3±10.8)years (range:20 to 71 years). Grouping was performed according to the presence or absence of concurrent acute acalculous cholecystitis (AAC) and biliary stricture. There were 58 cases in the AAC group,including 40 males and 18 females;aged (43.8±10.6) years (range:28 to 71 years);101 cases in the non-AAC group,including 64 males and 37 females;aged (41.5±10.8) years (range:20 to 64 years);there were statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of admission total bilirubin,Balthazar-CTSI score,fasting time,and the proportions of concurrent shock and sepsis (all P<0.05);the time from onset of SAP to diagnosis of AAC( M (IQR)) was 10.5 (13.3) days (range: 3 to 34 days). There were 15 cases in the biliary stricture group,including 13 males and 2 females;age (46.5±10.0) years (range:33 to 63 years);141 cases in the non-biliary stricture group,including 89 males and 52 females;age (41.9±10.8) years (range: 20 to 71 years); there were statistically significant differences between the two groups in the proportions of infected pancreatic necrosis,pancreatic head necrosis,and lower extremity venous thrombosis (all P<0.05);the time from the onset of SAP to the diagnosis of biliary stenosis in patients with biliary stenosis was 2.0 (3.0) months (range: 1 to 19 months). Univariate analysis was performed using independent sample t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, χ 2 test,or Fisher′s exact probability method,and variables with P<0.05 in univariate analysis were included in multivariate logistic regression analysis. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the diagnostic and predictive value of the multivariate logistic regression model for AAC and biliary stricture. Results:There were statistically significant differences in fasting time,Balthazar-CTSI score,admission total bilirubin,and the proportions of concurrent shock and sepsis between the AAC group and non-AAC group ( P<0.05). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that admission total bilirubin ( OR=1.033,95% CI: 1.010 to 1.058, P=0.004),Balthazar-CTSI score ( OR=1.276,95% CI: 1.036 to 1.572, P=0.022),fasting time ( OR=1.127,95% CI: 1.044 to 1.216, P=0.002), and sepsis ( OR=4.033, 95% CI: 1.419 to 11.462, P=0.009) were independent risk factors for AAC complicated by SAP. The area under the curve (AUC) of the ROC curve was 0.820 (95% CI: 0.752 to 0.888). There were statistically significant differences in the proportions of infected pancreatic necrosis,pancreatic head necrosis,and lower extremity venous thrombosis between the biliary stricture group and non-biliary stricture group ( P<0.05). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that infected pancreatic necrosis ( OR=7.376,95% CI:1.566 to 37.750, P=0.012) and pancreatic head necrosis ( OR=3.898,95% CI:1.180 to 12.877, P=0.026) were independent risk factors for biliary stricture complicated by SAP. The AUC of the ROC curve was 0.806 (95% CI:0.715 to 0.898). Conclusions:AAC typically occurs in the early stage of SAP,and biliary stricture usually occurs in the late stage of SAP. Admission total bilirubin,Balthazar-CTSI score,fasting duration,and concurrent sepsis are independent risk factors for AAC complicating SAP. Infected pancreatic necrosis and pancreatic head necrosis are independent risk factors for biliary stricture complicating SAP.

Elemene is widely recognized as an effective anti-cancer compound and is routinely administered in Chinese clinical settings for the management of several solid tumors,including non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).However,its detailed molecular mechanism has not been adequately demonstrated.In this research,it was demonstrated that elemene effectively curtailed NSCLC growth in the patient-derived xenograft(PDX)model.Mechanistically,employing high-throughput screening techniques and subsequent biochemical validations such as microscale thermophoresis(MST),microRNA-145-5p(miR-145-5p)was pinpointed as a critical target through which elemene exerts its anti-tumor effects.Inter-estingly,elemene serves as a binding stabilizer for miR-145-5p,demonstrating a strong binding affinity(dissociation constant(KD)=0.39±0.17 μg/mL)and preventing its degradation both in vitro and in vivo,while not interfering with the synthesis of the primary microRNA transcripts(pri-miRNAs)and precursor miRNAs(pre-miRNAs).The stabilization of miR-145-5p by elemene resulted in an increased level of this miRNA,subsequently suppressing NSCLC progression through the miR-145-5p/mitogen-activated pro-tein kinase kinase kinase 3(MAP3K3)/nuclear factor kappaB(NF-κB)pathway.Our findings provide a new perspective on revealing the interaction patterns between clinical anti-tumor drugs and miRNAs.

Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) has a unique structure that makes monoclonal antibody (mAb) preparation challenging. This study aims to develop a method for preparing HbA1c mAbs and establish a fluorescent immunochromatographic assay (FICA) for rapid detection of HbA1c. Three glycosylated peptides were synthesized and used to prepare complete antigens, which were identified by dot enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (Dot-ELISA) and ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy. The complete antigens and natural HbA1c were used for cross-immunization of mice, and the optimal complete antigen was selected. The mouse with the highest serum titer was chosen for mAb preparation. The purity and specificity of the mAbs were verified, and a FICA method was developed. The optimal complete antigen, with a titer of 1:512 000, was successfully prepared and selected. Fusion with splenocytes resulted in four specific HbA1c antibodies (purity > 90%). The best antibody exhibited a binding constant (Ka) of 1.67×1010 L/mol with the antigen. Based on this antibody, a FICA method was successfully established, capable of producing results within 15 min. The method demonstrated a good linear range (3%-13% HbA1c, y=0.071 3x+0.005 6, R2=0.993 7), recovery rates of 98%-102%, precision < 10.00%, and no nonspecific reactions. Clinical testing of 210 samples showed positive agreement of 96.36%, negative agreement of 97.00%, and overall agreement of 96.68%. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis yielded an area under curve (AUC) of 0.980 9 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.961 0-1.000 0], with high consistency verified in multicenter studies. We successfully developed a key technique for preparing HbA1c monoclonal antibodies and established a FICA method for rapid detection of HbA1c. It will provide an efficient and convenient detection method for the early diagnosis and long-term management of diabetes and its complications.

Objective To investigate the effects and mechanism of Ferrostatin-1(Fer-1),a ferroptosis inhibitor,on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury(MIRI).Methods Rat H9c2 cardiomyocytes were ran-domly divided into five groups:Control group,H/R medium group,H/R medium+Fer-1 group,H/R medium+Nec-1 group,and H/R medium+emricasan group.Cell morphology was observed using electron mi-croscopy.Cell proliferation activity was assessed via CCK-8 assay and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)release.I-ron ion levels were measured using an iron detection kit.Reactive oxygen species(ROS)and mitochondrial su-peroxide levels were detected by flow cytometry and MitoSOXTM fluorescence staining,respectively.Western blot was employed to analyze the expression of glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4),acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4(ACSL4),nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase(NOX1),and cycloox-ygenase 2(COX2).Results Compared to the Control group,the H/R medium group exhibited significantly increased cytotoxicity(LDH levels)and reduced cell viability,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Treatment with Fer-1,Nec-1,or emricasan in the H/R medium group increased cell adherence,reduced vacuolization,enhanced cell viability,and decreased cytotoxicity(LDH relative releasing rate)compared to the H/R medium group.Intracellular ferrous iron and total iron levels were elevated in the H/R medium group compared to the Control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05),while Fer-1 treatment sig-nificantly reduced these levels(P<0.05).ROS levels were higher in the H/R medium group than in the Con-trol group,and Fer-1 treatment attenuated this increase(P<0.05).Western blot analysis revealed elevated ACSL4,NOX1,and COX2 levels,alongside reduced GPX4 levels,in the H/R medium group compared to the Control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Fer-1 treatment reversed these trends,de-creasing ACSL4,NOX1,and COX2 levels while increasing GPX4 expression,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Conclusion Ferroptosis plays a critical role in MIRI.Fer-1 mitigates oxidative stress injury and alleviates MIRI by inhibiting ferroptosis.
