Background Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are a major occupational health concern, particularly among workers exposed to adverse ergonomic conditions. Manganese production involves heavy physical demands, yet research on WMSDs among manganese workers remains limited. Objective To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of WMSDs among manganese workers in a manganese enterprise in Guangxi. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted from May to June 2024 on workers at a manganese factory in Guangxi. The Chinese Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire was used to collect information on demographic characteristics, distribution of musculoskeletal symptoms, and work-related exposures. χ2 test was applied to compare differences in positive WMSDs rates across groups, and logistic regression analysis was performed to identify associated factors. Results A total of 1476 workers were enrolled in the study after pre-determined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The overall prevalence of WMSDs was 34.15%. The most commonly affected body regions were the lower back (17.28%), neck (16.67%), and shoulders (13.82%). The results of logistic regression analysis indicated that female, older age, and education level of college or above were associated with a higher risk of WMSDs (P<0.05). Awkward working postures were significantly associated with WMSDs in corresponding body regions; in particular, awkward postures of the neck, upper limbs, trunk, and lower limbs were related to an increased risk of WMSDs in multiple body sites (P<0.05). In addition, poor lighting conditions, high workplace temperature, frequent or sustained arm support during work, and high job demands were associated with an increased risk of overall or site-specific WMSDs (P<0.05). Conclusion The high prevalence of WMSDs among manganese workers is closely associated with demographic characteristics, working postures, and work environment and organizational factors. Targeted ergonomic interventions focusing on high-risk body regions and key ergonomic exposures are warranted to reduce the risk of WMSDs among manganese workers.

The strategy of pelvic lymph node dissection in patients with localized intermediate- and high-risk prostate cancer(PCa)has been one of the research hotspots in recent years. This review synthesizes recent progress in clinical,diagnostic imaging and immunological aspects of pelvic lymph node dissection.It is found that the detection rate of metastatic lymph nodes in patients with localized intermediate-risk PCa is relatively low,and the survival benefit after dissection is not significant. PSMA PET/CT examination can be used instead of lymph node dissection for staging. Extended lymph node dissection in patients with localized high-risk PCa can achieve a higher detection rate of metastatic lymph nodes and possible survival benefits. However,excessive lymph node dissection can weaken the response ability to immunotherapy. The strategy for pelvic lymph node dissection in patients with localized intermediate-high-risk PCa needs further study.

Objective:To study the inhibitory effects and mechanism of Armeniacae Semen Amarum alcohol extract in melanogenesis in zebrafish embryos.Methods:48 HPF healthy zebrafish embryos were randomly divided into blank control group, arbutin group, high-, medium- and low-dosage groups. The blank control group was added with 6 ml embryo culture medium, the arbutin group was added with 8 000 μg/ml arbutin solution 6 ml, and the high-, medium- and low-dosage groups were added with 2 925, 1 950 and 1 300 μg/ml Armeniacae Semen Amarum alcohol extract, respectively. After 24 hours of intervention, the melanin area of zebrafish embryos was observed by stereomicroscope, and the inhibition rate of ethanol extract of bitter almond on tyrosinase (TYR) activity and melanin content in zebrafish embryos were detected by spectrophotometry; the antioxidant activity was evaluated by DPPH radical scavenging capacity, ABTS radical scavenging capacity and CAT activity. RT-qPCR was used to detect the mRNA levels of MITF, Tyr and TYRP2 in zebrafish embryos.Results:Compared with the arbutin group, the low-, medium-, and high-dosage groups showed an increase in melanin area ( P<0.01 or P<0.05), a decrease in TYR activity and melanin content inhibition rate ( P<0.01), and IC50 values for DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging rates of 23.636 and 3.195 mg/ml, respectively. The CAT activity increased in the medium- and high-dosage groups ( P<0.05 or P<0.01), while the mRNA levels of TYR and MITF decreased in the low-, medium-, and high-dosage groups ( P<0.01). Conclusion:Armeniacae Semen Amarum alcohol extract can effectively inhibit the production of melanin in zebrafish embryos, and its mechanism may be closely related to TYR activity and MITF related signaling pathway.

JMJD1C (Jumonji Domain Containing 1C), a member of the lysine demethylase 3 (KDM3) family, is universally required for the survival of several types of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells with different genetic mutations, representing a therapeutic opportunity with broad application. Yet how JMJD1C regulates the leukemic programs of various AML cells is largely unexplored. Here we show that JMJD1C interacts with the master hematopoietic transcription factor RUNX1, which thereby recruits JMJD1C to the genome to facilitate a RUNX1-driven transcriptional program that supports leukemic cell survival. The underlying mechanism hinges on the long N-terminal disordered region of JMJD1C, which harbors two inseparable abilities: condensate formation and direct interaction with RUNX1. This dual capability of JMJD1C may influence enhancer-promoter contacts crucial for the expression of key leukemic genes regulated by RUNX1. Our findings demonstrate a previously unappreciated role for the non-catalytic function of JMJD1C in transcriptional regulation, underlying a mechanism shared by different types of leukemias.
