Objective:To investigate the effects and related mechanisms of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) AC092295.2 expression on the proliferation and invasion abilities of endometrial cancer cells.Methods:The correlations between AC092295.2 expression level and overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) of endometrial cancer patients (180 cases) were analyzed by cBioPortal database (updated in 2022). The miRNA with complementary nucleotide sequences to AC092295.2 was predicted by DIANA Tools sequencing tool. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the relative expression of AC092295.2 in human immortalised endometrial epithelial cell line hEEC and human endometrial cancer cell lines (KLE, AN3CA, Ishikawa, HEC-1A). Ishikawa cells with the lowest expression level of AC092295.2 were selected and divided into AC092295.2 overexpression group and control group, which were transfected with pGEX-AC092295.2 plasmid and pGEX-NC plasmid, respectively. qRT-PCR was used to detect the relative expression levels of AC092295.2 and miRNA-200c-3p (miR-200c-3p) in the two groups of cells. Methyl thiazol tetrazolium (MTT) method was used to detect cell viability. Transwell assay was used to detect cell invasion ability. Western blotting was used to detect the expression of proteins related to PTEN-AKT pathway. The dual luciferase reporter gene assay was used to verify the targeting relationship between AC092295.2 and miR-200c-3p.Results:The analysis results of cBioPortal database showed that the OS and DFS of endometrial cancer patients with high expression of AC092295.2 were better than those of patients with low expression (both P < 0.001); the expression levels of AC092295.2 and miR-200c-3p in endometrial cancer tissues were negatively correlated ( r = -0.846, P < 0.001). The results of qRT-PCR detection showed that the relative expression levels of AC092295.2 in endometrial cancer cell lines KLE, AN3CA, Ishikawa, HEC-1A and immortalized endometrial epithelial cell line hEEC were 0.56±0.09, 0.68±0.06, 0.17±0.07, 0.49±0.12 and 0.99±0.11, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( F = 35.10, P < 0.001); the relative expression levels of AC092295.2 in Ishikawa cells in the AC092295.2 overexpression group and the control group were 8.92±1.78 and 1.06±0.39, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 4.31, P = 0.005). MTT assay results showed that the cell viability of Ishikawa cells in the AC092295.2 overexpression group was lower than that in the control group on days 2, 3, 4, and 5 (all P < 0.05). Transwell assay results showed that the number of invasive Ishikawa cells in the AC092295.2 overexpression group and the control group were 73±4 and 135±14, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 4.25, P = 0.005). Western blotting results showed that the relative expression level of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) protein in Ishikawa cells in the AC092295.2 overexpression group was higher than that in the control group, while the relative expression levels of phosphorylated protein kinase B (p-AKT), Yes associated protein (YAP), murine double mimute 2 (MDM2), and bcl-2-associated death-promoting factor (BAD) proteins were lower than those in the control group. Dual luciferase reporter gene assay and qRT-PCR verified that AC092295.2 targeted negative regulation of miR-200c-3p expression. Conclusions:AC092295.2 is lowly expressed in endometrial cancer cells. Overexpression of AC092295.2 can inhibit the proliferation and invasion abilities of endometrial cancer cells, and its mechanism may be related to the expression of miR-200c-3p-PTEN-AKT signaling pathway.

Journal of Preventive Medicine 2024;36(4):338-341,344
Abstract:
To investigate the main occupational hazards of sand casting process enterprises, so as to provide insights into occupational disease prevention and control.
Methods:
In 2021 and 2022, six typical ferrous metal casting enterprises using sand casting technology in Wenling City, Zhejiang Province were selected to investigate the production processes and equipment, the operation of occupational disease prevention facilities and personal protective equipment. Occupational hazards including silica dust, noise, high temperature and ultraviolet radiation were detected and analyzed.
Results:
Six sand casting enterprises had not effectively set up and use occupational disease prevention equipment, and some employees had not worn personal protective equipment as required. The participation rate of occupational health examination was 100.00%. Among the 54 silica dust sampling points at the sand mixing, molding, sand falling, shot blasting and mud core drilling positions, the overall dust concentration exceeding the standard rate was 100.00%, and the respiratory dust exceeding the standard rate was 44.44%. Among the 55 noise measurement points at the sand mixing, sand falling, shot blasting, mud core drilling, polishing and blowing positions, 51 exceeded the standard, with a rate of 92.73%. Among the 90 sampling points for melting, painting, polishing, blowing and welding positions, the concentrations of welding fumes, manganese and its compounds, ethyl acetate and other cahmical factors did not exceed the standard. Six ultraviolet radiation measurement points in the welding position and six heat stress measurement points in the melting position did not exceed the standard.
Conclusion
The main occupational hazards of sand casting process enterprises in Wenling City are silica dust and noise, and occupational disease prevention and control should be further strengthened.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of web-based mental health services.Methods Web-based mental health services were established in our hospital to offer continuing medical education on mental health and psychological assessments.The access of clinicians to psychiatric knowledge and consultation from psychiatry department was evaluated.Results A total of 803 medical staff took the continuing medical education,and 643 passed the examination.Five hundred and twenty-eight online psychological assessments were completed.The qualification rate of psychiatric examination was 83.3% vs.31.7% in educated and non-educated clinicians (x2=32.77,P<0.01).The common consultation from psychiatry department of the educated group involved anxiety,depression/mania and delirium,of which anxiety and medically unexplained symptoms were comparatively higher while delirium was lower than the non-educated group (x2 values were 4.80,4.59 and 5.16,respectively; all P<0.05).More use of online psychological assessments was found in the educated group (33.8% vs.7.6%) before asking for a consultation from psychiatry department (x2=30.04,P<0.01).Conclusions Online mental health continuing education and psychological assessment could improve psychiatric knowledge and recognition of anxiety and depression in clinicians.
