Objective:To investigate the incidence of shoulder work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among occupational population in China, and to explore their intrinsic association with personal and work-related factors.Methods:In April 2024, 73497 valid questionnaires of the Chinese version of the Musculoskeletal Disorders Electronic Questionnaire were retrospectively analyzed from June 2018 to December 2023 in 22 provinces and 29 key industries in China, and the general information, occurrence of WMSDs and related risk factors of key occupational populations in different regions in China were collected. By using Chi-square test and confirmatory factor analysis, the relationship between shoulder fatigue and pain in key occupational groups and individual factors, work type, work posture and work organization was discussed, and the internal relationship was analyzed based on structural equation model.Results:Higher incidence of shoulder fatigue and pain were associated with female, lack of physical exercise, uncomfortable working posture and neck leaning forward ( P<0.05). Structural equation model analysis showed that work type, work posture and work organization were strongly correlated ( r=0.58, 0.55). Work organization and work type were strongly correlated with shoulder fatigue ( r=0.65) and moderately correlated with shoulder fatigue ( r=0.21). Shoulder fatigue was moderately associated with shoulder pain ( r=0.40). Individual factors, work type, work posture and shoulder fatigue could directly affect shoulder pain ( OR=0.07, -0.09, 0.17 and 0.40), and work type and work posture could also indirectly affect shoulder pain through shoulder fatigue ( OR=0.08, 0.03). Work organization only indirectly affected shoulder pain through shoulder fatigue ( OR=0.26) . Conclusion:The main influencing factor of shoulder pain is shoulder fatigue, followed by work posture and individual factors. Structural equation model can better reflect the complex relationship between work type, work posture and work organization and shoulder WMSDs. Improving work posture and work organization may be an effective way to control the influence of shoulder fatigue on shoulder pain.

Objective:To explore the structural equation model to explore the levels of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) and various risk factors in the feet and ankle of China's occupational population, providing scientific basis for for preventing WMSDs in feet and ankles.Methods:Data of 73497 national occupational epidemiological cases were selected from June 2018 to December 2023 used the Chinese version of the Electronic Questionnaire on Musculoskeletal Disorders. The adverse ergonomic factors and their source classification standard and confirmatory factor analysis were used to investigate foot and ankle WMSDs and their related risk factors (including individual factors, work organization, work posture, work type, fatigue, etc.) in key occupational groups in China, and structural equation model hypothesis, fitting, verification, and path and intermediary effect analysis were carried out. The model fit evaluation indexes included Chi-square specific degrees of freedom ( χ2/ df), gauge fit index (NFI), Tucker Lewis index (TLI), goodness of Fit index (GFI), adjusted Goodness of Fit index (AGFI) and approximate root mean square error (RMSEA) . Results:A total of 73497 occupational workers were surveyed, with local muscle fatigue and WMSDs incidence rates in the feet and ankles being 17.17% and 12.06%, respectively. The fitting index of the adjusted structural equation model basically meets the standard (GFI=1, AGFI=1, RMESA=0.042, NFI=0.716, TLI=0.663). The top three factors affecting feet and ankle WMSDs are feet and ankle muscle fatigue, work type, and work organization, with standardized path coefficients of 0.221, 0.105, and 0.095, respectively. The top two factors affecting feet and ankle muscle fatigue are work organization and work type, with standardized path coefficients of 0.548 and 0.383, respectively. Feet and ankle muscle fatigue, work type, work organization, and work posture have a direct effect on feet and ankle WMSDs, with effect values of 0.221, 0.105, 0.095, and 0.077, respectively. The organization and type of work can also have indirect effects through feet and ankle muscle fatigue, with effect values of 0.121 and 0.084, respectively.Conclusion:Feet and ankle muscle fatigue has a direct impact on WMSDs, and plays a mediating role between ankle and ankle WMSDs caused by work organization and work type. Feet and ankle muscle fatigue is an important pathway leading to feet and ankle WMSDs. It is recommended that employers and managers detect job fatigue early and take corresponding prevention and intervention measures, which can play a key role in preventing feet and ankle WMSDs.

Objective:To explore the structural relationship between WMSDs in the upper limbs and various risk factors in the occupational population in China, based on a large sample epidemiological survey and structural equation analysis, and to establish a structural equation model, so as to lay a foundation for the prevention and control of such diseases.Methods:The Chinese version of the Musculoskeletal Disorders Electronic Questionnaire was used to conduct a nationwide survey on the prevalence of WMSDs in the upper extremity. Six factors related to WMSDs in the upper extremity were extracted by the classification standard of adverse ergonomic factors and their source and confirmatory factor analysis, including work organization, work type, upper extremity work posture, individual factors, upper extremity fatigue and upper extremity WMSDs. The structural equation analysis was carried out and the structural equation model was established.Results:The incidence of WMSDs and fatigue in the upper limbs was 24.44% and 43.76%, respectively. The adjusted structural equation model fitting indicators were generally up to the standard (GFI=1.000, AGFI=1.000, RMSEA=0.043, NFI=0.808, TLI=0.784) . The four exogenous latent variables of work organization, work type, upper limb work posture and individual factors were correlated. There was a strong positive correlation between job type and upper limb work posture ( r=0.865) , a moderate positive correlation between work organization and job type and upper limb work posture ( r=0.570, 0.490) , and a weak negative correlation between individual factors and the other three exogenous latent variables. Upper limb work posture and individual factors had direct effects on upper limb WMSDs, and the effect coefficients were 0.10 and 0.06, respectively. Upper limb fatigue played a mediating role between work organization, work type, upper limb work posture and upper limb WMSDs. The effect coefficient was 0.46, and the composition ratios of indirect effects were 100.0%, 100.0%, and 38.3%, respectively. The direct path effect of upper limb work posture, individual factors and upper limb WMSDs was weaker than the mediating path through upper limb fatigue. Conclusion:When carrying out the prevention and control of upper limbWMSDs, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the pathogenesis path of upper limb muscle fatigue and upper limb WMSDs caused by work organization, work type, and upper limb work posture, so as to provide theoretical reference for improving the prevention and control level of such diseases.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between the expression level of glypican-6 (GPC6) in gliomas and the prognosis of patients, as well as the effect of GPC6 on the proliferation of glioma cells in vitro.Methods:The transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) data of GPC6 gene and clinical data of glioma patients were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. A total of 667 patients were enrolled, and the median FPKM value of GPC6 RNA-seq was used to distinguish the low and high expression of GPC6 gene. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the overall survival (OS) of GPC6 high and low expression groups in 664 patients with survival data, and log-rank test was used for inter group comparison. The postoperative tumor tissue chips were retrospectively collected from glioma patients who underwent surgery from February 2008 to October 2011, immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to detect the expression of GPC6 protein in 147 samples, and semi-quantitative scoring ≥ 4 points or not was used to distinguish the high and low expression of GPC6 protein based on the proportion of positive cells and staining intensity. The distributions of patients with high and low expression of GPC6 protein in tumor tissues were compared between different clinical pathological features in 147 patients, and Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the overall survival and disease-free survival (DFS) of patients in the GPC6 protein high and low expression groups; the risk factors that affect poor OS and DFS in patients were analyzed using univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models. The human glioma U251 cells were infected with lentivirus packaged with GPC6 small interfering RNA and lentivirus packaged with unrelated control sequences, namely ShGPC6 group and ShCtrl group, respectively; green fluorescent cells were counted daily and the cell proliferation fold was calculated for 5 days, and the cell proliferation curve was plotted.Results:In TCGA database, the median FPKM value of 667 glioma patients was 225.66. The median FPKM value of GPC6 gene in 515 World Health Organization (WHO) classification low-grade glioma patients was lower than that in 152 high-grade glioma patients (201.10 vs. 347.92), and the difference was statistically significant ( Z = 5.36, P < 0.001); the OS of patients in GPC6 low expression group (332 cases) was better than that in GPC6 high expression group (332 cases), and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.001). IHC staining of the tissue chip showed that GPC6 protein was mainly expressed in the cytoplasm and nucleus of glioma cells; high expression of GPC6 protein accounted for 31.3% (46/147) of patients. Among patients who died, relapsed, had high grading, had survival time ≤ 84 months, and had positive epidermal growth factor receptor, the proportion of patients with GPC6 protein high expression was relatively higher, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the proportions of GPC6 protein high expression patients among patients with different genders, age ≤ 43 years old, Ki-67 positivity, and programmed death receptor ligand 1 positivity (all P > 0.05); compared to the GPC6 low expression group (101 cases), the GPC6 protein high expression group (46 cases) had worse overall survival (median OS time: 57.0 months vs. not reached) and DFS (median DFS time: 33.0 months vs. not reached), and the differences were statistically significant (both P < 0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that high expression of GPC6 protein (high expression vs. low expression, HR = 1.86, 95% CI: 1.04-3.31, P = 0.036) was the independent risk factor for poor OS in glioma patients, but the expression level of GPC6 protein was not the independent influencing factor for DFS (high expression vs. low expression, HR = 1.55, 95% CI: 0.95-2.53, P = 0.077). After infecting U251 cells with recombinant lentivirus for 3 days, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction detection showed that the relative expression level of GPC6 mRNA in the ShGPC6 group was lower than that in the ShCtrl group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.001), the knockdown efficiency of GPC6 reached 79.32%; under the fluorescence microscope, the number and intensity of fluorescence positive U251 cells in the ShCtrl group increased day by day after infection with recombinant lentivirus, while there was no significant change in the ShGPC6 group; starting from the second day, the proliferation rate of U251 cells in the ShCtrl group was higher than that in the ShGPC6 group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.01). Conclusions:High GPC6 expression level may associate with the high risk of death in glioma patients, and high GPC6 expression may promote the proliferation of glioma cells.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management.
