Objective:To explore the effects of workload factors and social psychological factors on work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) , construct a preventive decision-assisted ensemble learning model, and propose screening methods with clinical significance.Methods:In October 2022, 1071 workers from optoelectronic enterprises were selected as the research subjects by cluster sampling method. The general situation of workers, workload factors, social psychological factors and the occurrence of WMSDs were collected by using questionnaires. logistic regression, Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) , ensemble learning and classification chain model were adopted to explore the key factors influencing WMSDs, and the area under curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the model performance.Results:The incidence of WMSDs among workers in optoelectronic enterprises in the past year was 47.7% (511/1071) , among which the incidence of multi-site WMSDs was 54.4% (278/511) . logistic regression analysis showed that prolonged sitting, personnel shortage and forward neck tilt were risk factors for the occurrence of WMSDs in workers ( P<0.05) . XGBoost identified the key social psychological factors influencing WMSDs as low mood, mental tension, perceived happiness level, psychological calmness and tranquility. The integrated classification chain model based on the ordered label order had certain efficacy (AUC>0.7) when analyzing WMSDs at the neck, waist, shoulder, back, elbow and hip positions. Conclusion:Workload factors are the main risk factors for the occurrence of WMSDs among workers in optoelectronic enterprises, and social psychological factors also have potential influences. The construction of a classification chain model can accurately identify the occurrence of WMSDs in multiple parts. The alternating prevention strategy of workload factors and social psychological factors has important public health significance.

Objective:To investigate the occurrence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) in bus drivers in Zhuhai City, analyze the ergonomic factors, and explore the prevention and control measures of WMSDs.Methods:From March to May 2023, 1675 active bus drivers from 5 branches of a bus group in Zhuhai were selected by stratified sampling method. The incidence of WMSDs among bus drivers in the past 12 months was investigated by using the modified Chinese Version of Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire. The influencing factors of WMSDs were analyzed by χ2 test and generalized linear model. Results:The total incidence of WMSDs in bus drivers in the past 12 months was 47.2% (790/1675) , and the incidence of WMSDs in neck and shoulder and lower back was 36.9% (618/1675) and 31.7% (531/1675) , respectively. The χ2 test showed that there were statistically significant differences in the incidence of WMSDs among bus drivers with different individual factors such as body mass index (BMI) , physical exercise and looking down at mobile phones ( P<0.05) . There were significant differences in the incidence of WMSDs in the neck and shoulder of bus drivers with different years of service and number of stops on their routes ( P<0.05) . There were statistically significant differences in the incidence of WMSDs in the lower back of bus drivers with different one-way driving time, shift patterns, and rest breaks during work ( P<0.05) . Abnormal BMI, professional working years >12 years, uncomfortable working posture, frequent turning, slightly forward neck posture, large forward neck posture and long shoulder posture were the risk factors for WMSDs of bus drivers ( P<0.05) , and comfortable seat was the protective factor ( P<0.05) . One-way driving time >70 min, shift work schedules, uncomfortable working posture, slightly forward back posture, and frequent turning were the risk factors leading to lower back WMSDs ( P<0.05) , and physical exercise, comfortable driving cabin space, and seat comfort were the protective factors ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:The total incidence of WMSDs in bus drivers is higher, and ergonomic factors are related to the occurrence of WMSDs. In the implementation of bus driving space comfort, human-computer interaction interface friendliness and seat comfort, employers should be reasonable allocation of fitness facilities, regular training, reasonable shift organization and other measures to prevent and control the occurrence of bus drivers WMSDs.

Thiamethoxam belongs to the second-generation neonicotinoid insecticides, mainly acting on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) . Severe poisoning cases can lead to respiratory failure, shock, and even death. There are relatively few reports on thiamethoxam poisoning, and few literature reports on concurrent rhabdomyolysis cases have been found so far. This article reviews the treatment process of a case of oral thiamethoxam poisoning. The patient developed mild rhabdomyolysis (CK: 1581 U/l) and renal dysfunction (creatinine: 127 μmol/L) immediately after taking the medication, reaching its peak on the second day (CK: 16329 U/l) . After active treatment (such as Blood purification, drainage, gastrointestinal decompression and organ support) , the symptoms of rhabdosis gradually improved and the patient was discharged. It is suggested that when treating thiamethoxam poisoning, the occurrence of rhabdomyolysis syndrome should be concerned.

Objective:To evaluate the current situation of the protective effect of hearing protection device (HPD) worn by manufacturing workers and discuss their possible influencing factors.Methods:A total of 3634 noisy workers were surveyed and tested. The study conducted surveys of workers on the use of HPD. The 3M TM E-A-R Fit TM binaural verification system was used to measure the personal attenuation device (PAR) of workers wearing HPD. Results:The M ( Q1, Q3) of baseline PAR obtained by 3634 workers was 12 (2, 19) dB. There was a statistically significant difference in baseline PAR among the three types of HPDs ( H=336.39, P<0.01) . After pairwise comparison, it was found that the baseline PAR of workers wearing foam earplugs and earmuffs was higher than that of pre-molded earplugs ( P<0.01) . There were differences in baseline PAR among workers in different industries ( Z=359.73, P<0.01) . Education level, age of using HPD, types of HPDs, noise exposure intensity, with or without knowledge of correct methods, and comfort evaluation were the main factors affecting baseline PAR ( P<0.05) . There were 1536 workers (43.4%) failed the baseline PAR test. After the intervention, the median PAR increased significantly from 1 (0, 6) dB (baseline) to 18 (14, 22) dB (after the intervention) ( P<0.01) . The follow-up test found that the follow-up PAR of 328 workers was higher than the baseline PAR of the initial test, and the follow-up PAR was higher than the post-intervention PAR of the initial test ( P<0.01) . Conclusion:Under the conditions of this study, the protective effect of HPD was affected by factors such as incorrect understanding of wearing methods, exposure to high-intensity noise, low education level, a short period of time of HPD use and low comfort of hearing protectors. The protective effect could be improved through training, optimizing the wearing of hearing protector models, and follow-up interventions. Enterprises should use suitability verification to ensure the correct selection and wearing of noisy workers.

Objective:To investigate the occurrence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among underground coal mine workers, identify the risk factors for WMSDs, and provide a scientific evidence for the prevention and treatment of WMSDs.Methods:In March 2024, through cluster sampling, the on-the-job workers who underwent questionnaire surveys and health examinations at a certain coal mine from July to August 2018 were selected as the research subjects. Basic information of employees, ergonomics-related characteristics, and the occurrence status of WMSDs in each part were collected, and multivariate logistic regression was used for analysis.Results:The incidence rate of WMSDs in at least one site among underground coal mine workers within the past year was 62.22% (219/352). The top three sites in sequence were the lower back (44.32%, 156/352), neck (26.14%, 92/352), and knee (26.14%, 92/352). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that frequently exerting great force with arms or hands during work ( OR=2.223, 95% CI: 1.022-4.836), prolonged static forward bending ( OR=1.544, 95% CI: 1.305-1.972), and frequently exerting great effort to operate tools or machines ( OR=2.206, 95% CI: 1.011-4.813), absence of external support systems ( OR=1.589, 95% CI: 1.349-1.996), and repetitive full-body twisting ( OR=1.523, 95% CI: 1.298-1.916) were all risk factors for the occurrence of WMSDs in the lower back ( P<0.05). Both night shift work ( OR=1.564, 95% CI: 1.339-1.939) and frequent forward neck flexion ( OR=1.532, 95% CI: 1.312-1.907) were all risk factors for the occurrence of WMSDs in the neck ( P<0.05). Lifting heavy objects above the shoulder ( OR=1.333, 95% CI: 1.142-1.782), uncomfortable posture and inability to exert force ( OR=1.873, 95% CI: 1.104-2.712), the use of vibration tools ( OR=2.958, 95% CI: 1.255-6.972), and length of service >10 years ( OR=1.525, 95% CI: 1.105-1.967) were all risk factors for the occurrence of WMSDs in the knee ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:The incidence of WMSDs among underground coal miners is relatively high, mainly concentrated in the lower back, neck and knee, and is related to factors such as poor working postures, and work organization. Coal mining enterprises should strengthen work organization, provide appropriate working equipment, and ensure reasonable distribution of workloads.

Objective:To explore the impact of noise and dust exposure in the mechanical manufacturing industry on the risk of hypertension and abnormal electrocardiogram in workers, and their combined effects, in order to provide support for the prevention and treatment of occupational related diseases among workers.Methods:In January 2024, A convenience sampling method was used to study 2802 on-the-job workers who underwent occupational health check-ups from January 2023 to December 2023 at a machinery manufacturing enterprise in Baotou, Inner Mongolia. Blood pressure and electrocardiogram results were analyzed in the noise group, dust group, dust noise group and control group according to the exposure factors. For count data, the chi-square test was employed to analyze differences among groups. Additionally, a binary logistic regression model was utilized to assess the impact of dust and noise exposure on the prevalence of hypertension and electrocardiogram abnormalities.Results:The stratified analysis results showed that the differences in hypertension prevalence among the four groups were statistically significant ( P<0.001) in males, age groups >30-40 years, >40-50 years, >50 years, different exposure durations, and different enterprise sizes. For ECG abnormalities, significant differences were observed among the four groups ( P<0.001) in males, the age group >30-40 years, different enterprise sizes, and those with exposure durations ≤15 years. The trend test for hypertension prevalence across different age groups revealed that as age increased, the prevalence of hypertension showed an upward trend in the noise-exposed group, dust-exposed group, and combined dust-noise-exposed group ( χ2=10.76, 4.25, 6.60, P<0.001, 0.039, 0.010) . Binary regression model analyses revealed that the the risk of hypertension in the noise group, dust group and dust noise group was 2.63 times ( OR=2.63, 95% CI: 1.89~3.67, P<0.001) , 2.36 times ( OR=2.36, 95% CI: 1.76~3.16, P<0.001) and 2.69 times ( OR=2.69, 95% CI: 2.14~3.38, P<0.001) . Using ECG abnormalities as the dependent variable and incorporating the statistically significant variables from Table 1 as independent variables into the binary logistic regression model, the results showed no statistically significant differences in the risk of ECG abnormalities in the dust-exposed, noise-exposed, and combined dust-noise-exposed groups compared to the control group ( P> 0.05) . Conclusion:Combined exposure to dust and noise increases the risk of hypertension in workers and has a combined effect.

Objective:To analysis the current utilization of nuclear medicine diagnosis and treatment equipments in Gansu province, evaluate the fairness of its distribution and provide a theoretical basis for government decision-making and the allocation of nuclear medicine diagnosis and treatment resources.Methods:In May 2023, Basic data were collected through questionnaires from the "Occupational Radiation Disease Monitoring" and "Radiation Protection Monitoring in Medical and Health Institutions" projects undertaken by Gansu Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention.The Gini coefficient and Theil index were calculated using STATA SE software to evaluate the equity of clinical nuclear medicine diagnosis and treatment resource allocation. Simultaneously, personal dose monitoring was conducted for nuclear medicine personnel. The fairness of clinical nuclear medicine diagnosis and treatment resource allocation was evaluated using the Gini coefficient and Theil index.Results:As of December 31, 2023, a total of 12 medical institutions in Gansu Province engaged in nuclear medicine diagnosis and treatment, employing 137 nuclear medicine radiation workers. Throughout the province, there were a total of 3 PET/CT scanners, 13 SPECT scanners and 3 medical cyclotrons available. In addition, 33712 nuclear medicine diagnostic procedures and 9365 various types of nuclear medicine treatments were administered over the year, resulting in a diagnostic frequency of 1.35 procedures per thousand population and a treatment frequency of 0.37 procedures per thousand population. The Gini coefficients for nuclear medicine personnel, equipment and diagnostic and treatment applications calculated per capita were 0.50, 0.53 and 0.61, respectively. The corresponding Theil indices were 0.0672, 0.0669 and 0.1277. In 2023, the average annual effective dose from external exposure for nuclear medicine workers was 0.37 mSv per person, while the average annual effective dose from internal exposure to thyroid 131I for nuclear medicine workers was 1.41 mSv. Conclusion:The distribution of nuclear medicine health resources and applications in Gansu Province is uneven. Greater emphasis should be placed on strengthening the adjustment of nuclear medicine resource allocation between regions, continuously promoting coordinated development within regions, and improving dose monitoring for nuclear medicine personnel.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the incidence of low back pain (LBP) and analyze its main influencing factors among automobile manufacturing workers in China.Methods:In March 2024, literatures related to LBP of workers in the automotive manufacturing industry were retrieved from China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) , VIP China Science and Technology Journal Database, Wanfang Database, PubMed, and Web of Science Database. The search time range was from the establishment of the database to March 2024, and the literature was screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. After evaluating the quality of the article using the quality evaluation criteria recommended by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality in the United States, Stata 17.0 software was used for analysis. Random effects models or fixed effects models were selected based on the degree of heterogeneity to calculate the combined effect size, and subgroup analysis and analysis of influencing factors of LBP were conducted.Results:A total of 16 articles were included, with a total sample size of 22245 people. The literature quality score ranged from 6 to 8 points. The results of the Meta-analysis showed that the incidence of LBP among automobile manufacturing workers in China was 32% (95% CI: 22%, 42%) . The results of subgroup analysis showed that the incidence of LBP among automotive manufacturing workers aged ≥30 years was 39% (95% CI: 22%, 57%) , which was higher than that among automotive manufacturing workers aged <30 years (24%, 95% CI: 17%, 32%) . The incidence of LBP among automotive manufacturing workers with a length of service of ≥5 years was 40% (95% CI: 23%, 56%) , which was higher than that among automotive manufacturing workers with a length of service of <5 years (24%, 95% CI: 16%, 33%) . The incidence of LBP reported from 2011 to 2017 (39%, 95% CI: 18%, 60%) was higher than that from 2018 to 2023 (28%, 95% CI: 20%, 36%) . Working in an uncomfortable posture ( OR=3.72, 95% CI: 2.05, 6.77) , standing for a long time while working ( OR=1.97, 95% CI: 1.61, 2.42) , carrying heavy objects ( OR=1.93, 95% CI: 1.63, 2.30) , bending over while working ( OR=1.86, 95% CI: 1.60, 2.17) and frequent overtime work ( OR=2.38, 95% CI: 1.44, 3.92) were both risk factors for LBP among workers in the automotive manufacturing industry ( P<0.05) , while sufficient rest time ( OR=0.55, 95% CI: 0.48, 0.63) was a protective factor ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:The incidence of LBP among workers in China's automotive manufacturing industry is relatively high. Working in an uncomfortable posture, standing for a long time, carrying heavy objects, bending over for work, frequent overtime work and sufficient rest time are the influencing factors of LBP among workers in the automotive manufacturing industry. Preventive measures should be actively taken in response to the above influencing factors to effectively reduce the incidence of LBP among workers in China's automotive manufacturing industry.

Objective:To study the subacute oral toxic effect of p-chloro-m-xylphenol on rats and provide a basis for its safety evaluation.Methods:SPF-grade Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups according to body weight stratification randomization, with 20 rats in each group, half male and half female. The set concentrations of the p-chloro-m-xylphenol dose groups were 11.25, 22.50, and 45.00 mg/kg·BW respectively, with an intragastric volume of 10 ml/kg·BW. The blank control group was given the same amount of distilled water. The rats were treated with intragastric administration for 30 days. After intraperitoneal injection of 50 mg/kg·BW pentobarbital sodium for anesthesia, bloodletting and death, the organs were separated and weighed. Blood was collected from the abdominal aorta to determine the hematological and serum biochemical indicators of the whole blood of rats. Multiple groups comparison was performed by one-way analysis of variance, and pairwise comparison between groups was performed by the least significant difference test or Dunnett-t3 test.Results:The kidney weight in the 45.00 mg/kg·BW dose group of female rats [ (1.59±0.11) g] was lower than that in the blank control group [ (1.71±0.12) g], and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The percentage of monocytes in the 11.25 mg/kg·BW dose group of male rats [ (4.81±0.74) %] was lower than that in the blank control group [ (5.86±0.58) %], the red blood cell count [ (6.93±0.26) ×10 12/L] and hemoglobin [ (134.30±4.95) g/L] in the 22.50 mg/kg·BW dose group of female rats were both lower than those in the blank control group[ (7.48±0.26) ×10 12/L, (146.20±4.42) g/L], the percentage of eosinophils in the 11.25 mg/kg·BW dose group of female rats [ (2.46±0.86) %] was higher than that in the blank control group [ (1.66±0.41) %], and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:P-chloro-m-xylphenol may have toxic effects on the blood system of rats, and the kidneys may be the potential target organs for its toxicity.
