ObjectiveTo evaluate the measurement capability of laboratories of radiological health technical service institutions in Shanghai for determining gross alpha and gross beta radioactivity in water. MethodsAll local laboratories with operational scope covering gross alpha and gross beta radioactivity measurement (hereinafter referred to as "participating laboratories") were organized to undertake a proficiency test. Each participating laboratory measured the gross α and gross β radioactivity concentrations in the proficiency testing water samples using the thick source method specified in GB/T 5750.13‒2023 Standard Examination Methods for Drinking Water—Part 13: Radioactive Indicators. Based on GB/T 28043‒2019 Statistical Methods for Proficiency Testing Using Interlaboratory Comparisons, the measurement results of all participating laboratories were statistically evaluated. The inter-laboratory comparison results for 2023‒2024 were uniformly assessed using z-scores: laboratories with |z| ≤2.00 for both gross α and gross β were rated as satisfactory (pass), and those with |z| ≤0.50 for both gross α and gross β and with the sum of the comprehensive score and the Q value ≥95 points were rated as excellent. ResultsIn 2023, 15 laboratories participated in the provincial inter-laboratory comparison, with a pass rate of 86.67% and none rated as excellent. In 2024, 19 laboratories participated, with a pass rate of 100% and 21.05% rated as excellent. ConclusionCompared with 2023, both the pass rate and the excellence rate in 2024 improved significantly, indicating that the measurement capability of the participating laboratories for gross alpha and gross beta radioactivity in water has been effectively enhanced. Improving the testing capabilities of laboratories in technical service institutions strengthens preparedness for future public health emergencies.

The 577 nm subthreshold micropulse laser(577 nm SML)is a non-invasive retinal laser treatment technique that selectively acts on the retinal pigment epithelium(RPE), induces heat shock protein expression, regulates inflammatory response, promotes blood retinal barrier repair, downregulates vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)levels, improves Müller cell function, promotes retinal metabolism and functional recovery, and avoids thermal damage caused by traditional threshold lasers. In recent years, 577 nm SML has been widely used in the treatment of various fundus diseases, including central serous chorioretinopathy(CSC), diabetes macular edema(DME), macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion(RVO-ME), age-related macular degeneration(ARMD), type 2 macular telangiectasia(MacTel2), persistent subretinal fluid after retinal detachment repair, and Irvine-Gass syndrome. Characterized by favorable safety and repeatability, 577 nm SML possesses high clinical application value and serves as a vital adjuvant and complementary strategy for anti-VEGF therapy. This review aims to summarize the therapeutic mechanisms and clinical applications of 577 nm SML in common fundus diseases, and provide a theoretical basis for its further clinical application.

Background With the widespread application of ionizing radiation technology in non-medical fields, the number of non-medical radiation workers has steadily increased over the years. Individual dose monitoring serves as a crucial measure to safeguard the occupational health of non-medical radiation workers, as it can accurately identify occupational health risks and optimize radiation protection strategies. Objective To analyze the individual monitoring data of radiation workers from partial non-medical sectors in Shanghai from 2016 to 2023, to obtain the status of occupational radiation exposure and to provide a reference basis for non-medical radiation hygiene supervision and protection management. Methods The study subjects consisted of radiation workers from non-medical institutions in Shanghai who recieved individual dose monitoring at a Class-A radiation health technical service institution between 2016 and 2023. Under the Specifications for individual monitoring of occupational external exposure (GBZ 128-2019), thermoluminescence dosimetry was used for measuring personal dose equivalent, H_p(10), of various occupations encompassing industrial irradiation, industrial radiography, radioisotope production, accelerator operation, other industrial applications, education, and veterinary medicine. Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison among multiple groups, Bonferroni method was adopted for pairwise comparison, and Mann-Kendall test was conducted for trend analysis to analyze the per-capita annual effective dose and its variation over time across different occupational categories of radiation workers. Results A total of 13728 person-times of non-medical radiation workers were monitored from 2016 to 2023, accumulating a collective effective dose of 3025.69 person-mSv. The per-capita annual effective dose M(P₂₅, P₇₅) was 0.14(0.08, 0.25) mSv. There were statistically significant differences in the per-capita annual effective dose of radiation workers in different years (H=874.826, P< 0.05). Similarly, significant variations were identified among various occupational categories (H=115.569, P< 0.05). Among them, the per-capita annual effective dose of radiological workers engaged in the production of radioactive isotopes was the highest, at 0.21(0.14, 0.32) mSv, followed by those in veterinary medicine, at 0.17 (0.11, 0.61) mSv; the difference between these two groups was not statistically significant (Z=1.231, P > 0.05), but both were significantly higher than those in other occupational categories (Z=3.913, 9.761, P<0.05). The veterinary medicine category had the highest proportion of monitored individuals with annual effective dose exceeding 1 mSv to the total number of monitored individuals(NR₁), reaching 17.12%, and the industrial radiography category showed the highest proportion of workers exposed to more than the annual investigation level 5 mSv to the total number of monitored individuals (NR₅), at 0.16%. Conclusion From 2016 to 2023, the overall individual doses of some non-medical radiation workers in Shanghai remain low, indicating well-controlled radiation levels in workplaces and low exposure risks. It is necessary to focus on radiation workers engaged in radioisotope production, veterinary medicine and industrial radiography.

The reversal rates of chronic inflammation at the corpus lesser curvature and corpus greater curvature (5.2%, 12/231 vs. 0, 0/123; 4.7%, 8/170 vs. 0, 0/88), the reversal rates of atrophy at the antrum lesser curvature, antrum greater curvature, corpus lesser curvature, and the corpus greater curvature (6.8%, 22/323 vs. 1.3%, 2/151; 9.2%, 29/315 vs. 1.4%, 2/144; 14.2%, 38/267 vs. 2.5%, 3/121; 20.8%, 35/168 vs. 5.8%, 4/69), and the reversal rates of intestinal metaplasia at the antrum lesser curvature, antrum greater curvature, gastric angle, and the corpus lesser curvature (29.8%, 39/131 vs. 9.1%, 4/44; 41.0%, 32/78 vs. 12.5%, 3/24; 33.3%, 44/132 vs. 4.8%, 3/63; 50.0%, 37/74 vs. 8.7%, 2/23) of the LTEVB 12C group were all higher than those of the placebo group, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=6.58, 5.12, 5.60, 8.61, 11.43, 6.59, 7.30, 4.95, 15.92, 7.62; all P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the effective rates and reversal rates of active inflammation at different locations between the LTEVB 12C group and the placebo group (all P>0.05). The results of logistic regression analysis (taking the antrum lesser curvature as the reference) further confirmed that the reversal rates of chronic inflammation ( OR=0.22, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 0.07 to 0.67; OR=0.24, 95% CI: 0.07 to 0.80), atrophy ( OR=0.28, 95% CI: 0.16 to 0.49; OR=0.28, 95% CI: 0.16 to 0.49), and intestinal metaplasia ( OR=0.42, 95% CI: 0.24 to 0.77; OR=0.20, 95% CI: 0.08 to 0.52) at the corpus lesser curvature and corpus greater curvature were all higher than those at the antrum lesser curvature, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05).

Conclusion:LTEVB 12C can achieve good efficacy in the treatment of CAG, and the chronic inflammation, atrophy, and intestinal metaplasia at multiple locations are improved, especially at the corpus lesser curvature and the corpus greater curvature.

Objective:To explore the value of serum soluble E-cadherin (sEC) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) levels in predicting postoperative recurrence and metastasis of breast cancer.Methods:198 female breast cancer patients who underwent surgical treatment in Huai’an Hospital Affiliated to Xuzhou Medical University (Huai’an Second People’s Hospital) From Mar. 2023 to Mar. 2025 were selected and followed up for 3 years. The recurrence and metastasis were counted. Patients with recurrence and metastasis were included in the poor prognosis group, and patients without recurrence and metastasis were included in the good prognosis group. The general data, preoperative serum sEC and COX-2 levels were compared between the two groups. The influencing factors of recurrence and metastasis of breast cancer after operation were analyzed. The dose-response relationship and predictive value of serum sEC and COX-2 levels with recurrence and metastasis were analyzed. Logistic regression equation (LR) model 1 was constructed according to conventional influencing factors, and LR model 2 was constructed according to conventional influencing factors combined with serum sEC and COX-2. The predictive efficacy and accuracy of the two models were analyzed by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and calibration curve. According to the ratio of 7∶3, another 85 female breast cancer patients who underwent surgical treatment in Huai’an Hospital Affiliated to Xuzhou Medical University (Huai’an Second People’s Hospital) from May. 2023 to May. 2025 were selected for external validation (validation set) .Results:Among 198 breast cancer patients who underwent postoperative follow-up for 3 years, 3 cases were lost to follow-up, and the recurrence and metastasis rate among the 195 patients who completed the 3-year postoperative follow-up was 26.15% (51/195). In the good prognosis group, the proportion of TNM stage III was 20.14%, the proportion of lymph node metastasis was 11.81%, the preoperative serum carbohydrate antigen 153 (CA153) level was (54.19±10.84) U/mL, the carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) level was (46.03±10.27) U/mL, the sEC level was (1987.65±191.37) ng/mL, and the COX-2 level was (17.85±5.21) ng/mL. In the poor prognosis group, the proportion of TNM stage III was 45.10%, the proportion of lymph node metastasis was 35.29%, the preoperative serum CA153 level was (65.87±12.23) U/mL, the CA125 level was (57.76±11.51) U/mL, the sEC level was (2 295.37±261.48) ng/mL, and the COX-2 level was (10.42±3.16) ng/mL.

There were no statistically siginificant differences in the reversal rates of the aforementioned pathological features between the antrum greater curvature, gastric angle, and the antrum lesser curvature (all P>0.05). Conclusion:LTEVB 12C can achieve good efficacy in the treatment of CAG, and the chronic inflammation, atrophy, and intestinal metaplasia at multiple locations are improved, especially at the corpus lesser curvature and the corpus greater curvature.

ObjectiveThe purpose was to understand the background level of environmental radioactivity in the surrounding area of Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant and accumulate historical monitoring data of radioactivity in the environment， in order to detect and deal with radioactive risk in water sources earlier. MethodsAccording to the requirements of the "Shanghai environmental radioactivity background monitoring plan"， the area 1 closest to the Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant was selected as the monitoring point， and the area 2 far from the nuclear power plant was selected as the blank control point. Considering the seasonal characteristics of high water， low water， and normal water periods， the establishment of sampling points， and population density and other comprehensive factors， a model of sampling from the disease control centers in these two regions was established， with the supervision and quality control by Shanghai disease control center. The water samples were collected once a quarter， with a sampling volume of 5 L each time， and the samples were sent to Shanghai Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention for processing and measurement. Since 2012， water samples from the two sources have been collected for more than ten years for the total α and total β monitoring of radioactive levels.

Objective:To explore the talent cultivation model of nursing professional group under the 1+X certificate system, to build a talent cultivation system for nursing professional groups with "three progressions, four integrations, and five cocultivation"Methods:From 1 July 2021 to 31 December 2023, built a professional group course system of "mutual sharing of foundations, mutual generation of majors, mutual selection of positions, and progressive improvement of abilities". Aligned course content with X certificate content. Deepen the reform of the three education systems, create a "dual teacher" teaching team that combines full-time and part-time work, and build teaching resources that connect the cloud and the ground. The application effect of this model was evaluated in 2021 nursing majors in Cangzhou Medical College by cluster sampling.Results:There were 748 students majoring in nursing in class of 2021, 150 boys aged 19-22(20.00 ± 1.23), 598 girls, aged 19-21(19.00 ± 2.57). There were 118 students majoring in midwifery in class of 2021, all of them were girls, aged 18-20(18.00 ± 2.11). There were 128 students majoring in rehabilitation therapy technology in class of 2021, 66 boys aged 19-21(19.00 ± 2.11), 62 girls aged 19-21(19.00 ± 2.54). Nursing professional group completed the "Basic Nursing Technology Training Guidance", "Elderly Care" and other 5 self-compiled textbooks, 730 students had participated in the X certificate assessment, 729 students e passed the assessment, the passing rate was 99.9%.Conclusions:The talent cultivation model of "three progressions, four integrations, and five co cultivation" in the nursing professional group can cultivate students′ professional abilities, and cultivate a composite technical and skilled talent with multiple abilities and interconnections in one job.

Background The monitoring of external radiation individual doses for radiation workers is a statutory task and serves as an important basis for the diagnosis of occupational diseases in this occupational group. Ensuring the accuracy and reliability of monitoring data is crucial for safeguarding the health of radiation workers. Objective To evaluate and compare the capabilities and levels of external radiation individual dose monitoring conducted by radiation hygiene service institutions in Shanghai, to standardize relevant workflows, and to improve the accuracy and reliability of the monitoring service. Methods From 2021 to 2023, annual intercomparisons of external radiation individual dose monitoring capabilities were organized for radiation hygiene service institutions in Shanghai. The study subjects were 19 to 21 radiation hygiene service institutions registered in Shanghai for each year and they all participated in the intercomparisons. The monitoring subjects included 16 district-level centers for disease control and prevention (CDCs) and 13 third-party testing agencies. Monitoring capabilities were analyzed based on single-group performance, comprehensive performance, and Q-value. In the intercomparison, a thermoluminescent dosimetry system was used to perform irradiation tests on thermoluminescence dosimeter [made of lithium fluoride (magnesium, copper, phosphorus), LiF (Mg, Cu, P)], and monitoring data for X-rays and γ-rays at different doses and radiation conditions were analyzed following a standard procedure specified by GBZ 207−2016. Statistical methods included t-test and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, with statistical significance set at P<0.05. Results From 2021 to 2023, the number of participating institutions was 19, 21, and 19, respectively, with an overall pass rate of 94.9% (56/59). Two institutions failed in 2022 and one in 2023. The number of institutions meeting the excellent standard in single-group and comprehensive performance was 9, 12, and 13, respectively, and the number of institutions ultimately rated as excellent was 3, 7, and 8,respectively, with an overall excellence rate of 30.5% (18/59) and an excellence conversion rate of 52.9%. The pass rates for single-group and comprehensive performance were both 98.3%. The number of groups with negative deviation was 1.86 times that of groups with positive deviation for X-rays, and 1.10 times for γ-rays. For X-rays, there was a statistically significant deviation between doses of less than 1.0 mSv and more than 1.0 mSv (P=0.01), while there was no significant difference in the single-group performance deviation between X-rays and γ-rays at the same dose. There was a statistically significant difference between the reported and reference values for X-rays in 2021 and 2022 (P<0.05), but no significant difference in 2023 (P>0.05); there was no significant difference between the reported and reference values for γ-rays over the three years (P>0.05). Conclusion Over the past three years, the external radiation individual dose monitoring capability intercomparison results of radiation hygiene service institutions in Shanghai have shown that the pass rate remains at a high level, with the excellence rate increasing year by year. However, some institutions still need to improve their monitoring capabilities, and further cooperation among institutions and training for technical staff are needed to enhance the capabilities and standardization of external radiation individual dose monitoring in Shanghai.
