Objective:To investigate the relationship between work fit, work stress, and occupational fatigue among medical staff, and to analyze the independent and interactive effects of work fit and work stress on occupational fatigue.Methods:A stratified random sampling method was employed to select 1162 employees from two top-tier hospitals as the research subjects. A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect information on basic demographics, work stress, work fit, and occupational fatigue. Chi-square test, analysis of variance, and logistic regression equations were used to evaluate the interactive effects of work fit and work stress on occupational fatigue.Results:This study included 1162 medical Homo sapiens personnel, among whom 884 were job-adapted and 362 were in a stressful state. Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of occupational fatigue significantly increased in the 40-49 age group ( OR=1.89) and the bachelor's degree group ( OR=2.52, P<0.01). Smoking and alcohol consumption were also associated with a significantly higher risk of occupational fatigue ( P<0.01). In terms of occupational characteristics, compared to clinical doctors, nurses and pharmaceutical/technical Homo sapiens personnel had lower risks ( OR=0.57, 0.43, P<0.05). Compared to high-ranking Homo sapiens personnel, those with no title or junior titles exhibited lower risks ( OR=0.51, 0.43, P<0.05). Working hours exceeding 55 hours per week and night shifts 3-4 times per week significantly increased fatigue risk ( OR=1.94, 1.90, P<0.05). Occupational stress and job discomfort were identified as risk factors for occupational fatigue ( OR=11.94, 3.26, P<0.05). Job adaptation and occupational stress exhibited a multiplicative interaction on physical fatigue after adjusting for confounders[ OR (95% CI) =0.43 (0.22, 0.84) ]. Additionally, job adaptation and occupational stress demonstrated an additive interaction on mental fatigue, with RERI (95% CI) =2.64 (0.11, 5.59), API (95% CI) =0.38 (0.08, 0.67), and SI (95% CI) =1.78 (1.01, 3.14). Medical Homo sapiens personnel in a stressful state had a 7.25-fold higher risk of fatigue compared to those not in a stressful state, while those with job discomfort had a 2.01-fold higher risk compared to those in an adapted state. Conclusion:Occupational stress and job fit have interactive effects on physical fatigue and mental fatigue in medical Homo sapiens personnel. A stressful state combined with job discomfort increases the risk of fatigue occurrence, providing a basis for developing intervention strategies for occupational fatigue among medical Homo sapiens personnel.

Objective:To investigate the impact of immunosuppressive therapy on the severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection and cytokine levels in pediatric patients with kidney diseases.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 40 hospitalized pediatric patients who were diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection at the 900th Hospital of PLA Joint Logistic Support Force from December 2022 to February 2023. Based on their immunosuppressive status prior to SARS-CoV-2 infection, these patients were categorized into immunosuppressive group and non-immunosuppressive group. Independent sample t-tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, and χ2 test were employed to compare the clinical baseline characteristics and laboratory data, the severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection, and the levels of cytokines between the 2 groups. Results:Among the 40 patients, 11 were in the immunosuppressive group (aged 13 (8, 14) years, 9 males and 2 females) and 29 in the non-immunosuppressive group (aged 2 (1, 4) years, 15 males and 14 females). In the immunosuppressive group, 2 were asymptomatic cases, 8 were mild cases, and 1 was moderate case, and there was no severe or critical cases. In the non-immunosuppressive group, 8 were mild cases, 5 were moderate, 15 were severe cases, 1 was critical case, and no asymptomatic cases. The underlying diseases in the immunosuppressive group included nephrotic syndrome (6 cases), IgA vasculitis nephritis (2 cases), lupus nephritis (1 case), post-renal transplantation (1 case), and renal failure (1 case), with a mean total immunosuppression score (TIS) of (3.6±1.4) points. In the non-immunosuppressive group, 2 patients had a history of epilepsy, and the remaining 27 cases had no underlying conditions, all with TIS scores of 0. Compared to the children in the non-immunosuppressive group, those in the immunosuppressive group were more likely to exhibit asymptomatic or mild infection, with lower risks of severe disease, cytokine storm, fever, and cough, but a higher risk of fatigue ( OR=1.22, 2.66, 0.48, 0.12, 0.12, 0.13, 1.22; 95% CI 0.93-1.62, 0.99-7.15, 0.33-0.70, 0.03-0.57, 0.03-0.57, 0.03-0.65, 0.93-1.62; all P<0.05). The levels of cytokine IL-6, interferon-α and interferon-γ in the immunosuppressive group were all lower than those in the non-immunosuppressive group ( Z=2.23, 2.51, 2.92, respectively; all P<0.05). Conclusion:Pediatric patients with kidney diseases receiving appropriate immunosuppressive therapy may mitigate the severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection by suppressing the expression of cytokines.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of a combination of programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1) inhibitor and multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor anlotinib in second-line treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods:A prospective randomized controlled study was conducted. Using the random number table method, 118 NSCLC patients who were admitted to Shaanxi Provincial Cancer Hospital from June 2021 to June 2023 were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group, with 59 patients in each group. The observation group was treated with PD-1 inhibitor combined with anlotinib, while the control group was treated with PD-1 inhibitor. There were 36 males and 23 females in the observation group, with an age of (56±5) years; there were 34 males and 25 females in the control group, with an age of (56±5) years. There was no statistically significant difference in general clinicopathological data between the two groups (all P > 0.05). The short-term clinical efficacy [objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR)], tumor-related factor levels [vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2), tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase (TIMP), and tumor necrosis factor β1 (TNF-β1)], inflammatory status [plasma fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio (FAR)], lung function [forced vital capacity (FVC) and peak expiratory flow (PEF)] before and after treatment, the European Organization for Research and Treatment on Cancer (EORTC) core questionnaire for quality of life assessment (QLQ-C30) score, and occurrence of adverse reactions were compared between two groups of patients. Results:The ORR and DCR of the observation group were 33.90% (20/59) and 69.49% (41/59), respectively; the ORR and DCR of the control group were 10.17% (6/59) and 44.07% (26/59), respectively; the comparison of ORR and DCR between the two groups showed statistically significant differences ( χ2 values were 9.67 and 7.77, both P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the levels of tumor-related factors between the observation group and the control group before treatment (all P > 0.05); after 4 cycles of treatment, the levels of VEGF and MMP-2 in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, while the levels of TIMP and TNF-β1 were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.001). The FAR of the observation group and the control group before treatment were (0.15±0.06) g/L and (0.16±0.06) g/L, respectively, with no statistically significant difference ( t = 0.90, P = 0.367); after 4 cycles of treatment, the FAR were (0.07±0.01) g/L and (0.11±0.04) g/L, respectively, with statistically significant difference ( t = 7.45, P < 0.001). Before treatment, there was no statistically significant difference in FVC and PEF between the observation group and the control group (both P > 0.05); after 4 cycles of treatment, the FVC and PEF in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (both P < 0.001). There were no statistically significant differences in the EORTC QLQ-C30 scores of functional dimension, symptom dimension and global health status/quality of life dimension between the observation group and the control group before treatment (all P > 0.05); after 4 cycles of treatment, the scores of functional dimension and global health status/quality of life dimension in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, while the symptom dimension score was lower than that in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.001). The incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was 6.78% (4/59), while in the control group it was 10.17% (6/59), and the difference was not statistically significant ( P = 0.741). Conclusions:The combination of PD-1 inhibitor and anlotinib in second-line treatment of NSCLC has good clinical efficacy, it can reduce the inflammatory response, improve the lung function and quality of life, and has good safety.

Background Coal workers' pneumoconiosis is a serious occupational disease in China. Exhaled volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can serve as the "breath fingerprint" of internal pathological processes, which provides a theoretical basis for exhaled VOCs to be used as potential non-invasive biomarkers for early diagnosis of coal workers' pneumoconiosis. Objective To screen out the characteristic VOCs and important characteristic VOCs of exhaled air in patients with coal workers' pneumoconiosis, and to explore the potential of these VOCs as biomarkers for early non-invasive diagnosis of the disease. Methods In this study, 27 VOCs in the exhaled breath of 22 patients with stage I coal workers' pneumoconiosis, 77 workers exposed to dust, and 92 healthy controls were quantitatively detected by thermal desorption gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (TD-GC-MS). Substances with P<0.05 in univariate analysis and variable importance projection (VIP) >1 in supervised orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) model were selected as the characteristic VOCs for early diagnosis of coal workers' pneumoconiosis. Age was included in the LASSO regression model as a covariate to screen out important characteristic VOCs, and the diagnostic performance was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Spearman correlation was further used to explore the correlation between important characteristic VOCs and clinical lung function indicators. Results Through univariate analysis and OPLS-DA modeling, 8 VOCs were selected, including 2-methylpentane, 3-methylpentane, n-hexane, methylcyclopentane, n-heptane, methylcyclohexane, 4-methyl-2-pentanone, and 2-hexanone, in exhaled breath of patients with coal workers' pneumoconiosis. The concentrations of 4 VOCs, including 3-methylpentane, n-hexane, 4-methyl-2-pentanone, and 2-hexanone, showed a decreasing trend with the increase of dust exposure years. By LASSO regression, the important characteristic VOCs of the coal workers' pneumoconiosis group and the dust exposure group were n-hexane, methylcyclohexane and 4-methyl-2-pentanone, and the important characteristic VOCs of the coal workers' pneumoconiosis group and the healthy group were 2-methyl-pentane and 4-methyl-2-pentanone. The ROC analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of n-hexane, methylcyclohexane, and 4-methyl-2-pentanone were 0.969, 0.909, and 0.956, respectively, and the AUC of combined diagnosis was 0.988 and its Youden index was 0.961, suggesting that these results can serve as a valuable reference for further research on early diagnosis. The Correlation analysis found that there was a positive correlation between n-hexane and lung function indicators in the important characteristic VOCs, indicating that it could indirectly reflect the obstruction of lung function ventilation, further proving that important characteristic VOCs have the potential to monitor lung function decline. Conclusion Three important characteristic VOCs selected in this study have the potential to be used as non-invasive biomarkers for early diagnosis and disease monitoring of coal workers' pneumoconiosis, and are worthy of further study and verification.
