ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of modified Xiehuangsan in treating tic disorders (TD) based on microglial polarization and the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88)/nuclear factor (NF)-κB pathway. MethodsSeventy-two Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly assigned into six groups: control, model, tiapride (0.025 g·kg-1), and low-, medium-, and high-dose (12, 24, 48 g·kg-1, respectively) modified Xiehuangsan, with 12 rats in each group. Except the control group, the other groups received intraperitoneal injection of 3,3'-iminodipropionitrile (IDPN) for 7 consecutive days for the modeling of TD. After successful modeling, the control and model groups were given normal saline via gavage, and the other groups were administrated with corresponding drugs by gavage. After 28 days of continuous intervention, rat behaviors were observed, and the modified Xiehuangsan group showing the best anti-TD effect was selected for deciphering the treatment mechanism. Hematoxylin and eosin staining was conducted to observe morphological changes in the rat striatum. Immunohistochemistry was employed to detect the expression of CD16 and CD206 in the striatum. Real-time PCR was employed to measure the mRNA levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), IL-4, TLR4, MyD88, and NF-κB p65 in the striatum. Western blot was employed to determine the protein levels of ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (Iba1), Fc receptor family for immunoglobulin (Ig)G type Ⅲ (CD16), mannose receptor (CD206), TLR4, MyD88, and NF-κB p65 in the striatum. ResultsCompared with the control group, the model group showed increased stereotyped behaviors, locomotor activity, total movement distance, and movement speed, shortened resting time (P<0.01), and noticeable pathological changes in the striatum. Compared with the model group, the tiapride group and modified Xiehuangsan groups exhibited reduced stereotyped behavior, locomotor activity, total movement distance, and movement speed, prolonged resting time (P<0.05, P<0.01), and alleviated pathological changes in the striatum. Among the modified Xiehuangsan groups, the high-dose group had the best intervention effect and the mildest pathological changes. Therefore, the high-dose group was selected for further research. Compared with the control group, the modeling of TD increased Iba1 and CD16 expression (P<0.05, P<0.01), up-regulated the mRNA levels of IL-1β and TNF-α (P<0.05, P<0.01), down-regulated the mRNA level of IL-4 (P<0.05), up-regulated the mRNA and protein levels of TLR4 and MyD88 (P<0.05, P<0.01), and up-regulated the protein level of NF-κB p65 (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, modified Xiehuangsan reduced Iba1 and CD16 expression (P<0.05, P<0.01), up-regulated the protein level of CD206 (P<0.05, P<0.01), down-regulated the mRNA levels of IL-1β and TNF-α (P<0.05), up-regulated the mRNA level of IL-4 (P<0.01), and down-regulated the mRNA and protein levels of TLR4, MyD88, and NF-κB p65 (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionModified Xiehuangsan demonstrated a definite therapeutic effect on TD in rats. It may reduce neuroinflammation in TD rats by regulating the polarization of microglia in the striatum via the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Objective To understand the individual dose monitoring of occupational external exposure for radiation workers in Wuhan City and analyze the dose change trend, and to provide a scientific basis for radiation protection management of radiation workers. Methods The data on the monitoring results of occupational external exposure of radiation workers in Wuhan City from 2017 to 2021 were collected through the National Personal Dose Registration System, and the individual dose levels of different years, different occupational categories, and different levels of hospitals were analyzed. Results A total of 9 134 radiation workers were investigated, with an average annual effective dose per capita of 0.20 mSv/a. The overall personal annual effective dose from 2017 to 2021 showed a decreasing trend (P<0.001). The per capita annual effective dose in medical applications was higher than that in industrial applications (0.22 mSv vs 0.14 mSv; P<0.001). Among medical applications, diagnostic radiologists had the highest average annual effective dose (0.27 mSv), and among industrial applications, industrial irradiators had the highest average annual effective dose (0.29 mSv). The proportion of personnel with personal annual effective doses exceeding 1 mSv was higher in interventional radiology and industrial nondestructive testing (4.90% and 1.90%). The annual effective dose per capita in Class I and unrated hospitals was higher (0.35 mSv). Conclusion The average annual effective dose of radiation workers in Wuhan City has decreased year by year and has not exceeded the national standard limit (20 mSv). Radiation protection management still needs to focus on personnel with personal annual effective doses exceeding 1mSv in interventional radiology and industrial nondestructive testing, and supervision over primary healthcare institutions and industrial radiation should be strengthened.

Objective:To construct a prediction model for peripherally inserted central catheter-related upper extremity deep vein thrombosis (PICC-UEDVT) in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and validate its effectiveness.Methods:A case-control study was conducted on the clinical data of 222 TBI patients admitted to Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 2019 to December 2021, including 171 males and 51 females, aged 18-86 years [54.5(46.0, 65.0)years]. Glasgow coma scale (GCS) motor score was 4.0(3.0, 5.0)points on the day of catheterization. A total of 82 patients (36.9%) had PICC-UEDVT. The patients were randomly divided with a ratio of 7∶3 into training set ( n=156, including 58 with PICC-UEDVT) and validation set ( n=66, including 24 with PICC-UEDVT) using R programming language. The baseline data of general information, intravenous medication, catheterization, and laboratory indices were compared between the training set and the validation set. Lasso regression analysis was employed to identify those variables, with the diagnosis of PICC-UEDVT as the outcome variable. Variables with non-zero regression coefficients were included in a multifactorial Logistic regression model and independent variables were selected based on the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) of R programming language. The regression equation was constructed, based on which, the predictive nomogram model was constructed for PICC-UEDVT in TBI patients. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves for the training set and validation set were plotted and the discriminability of the model was assessed. The calibration of the model was evaluated using the Hosmer-Lemeshow (H-L) goodness-of-fit test and calibration curves and the clinical practicality of the model was assessed with decision curve analysis (DCA). Results:The baseline analysis of both the training set and the validation set demonstrated a well-balanced sample distribution. Through Lasso regression analysis, 5 prediction variables were identified: GCS motor score on the day of catheterization, Caprini score on the day of catheterization, use of glucocorticoids, tip position of the catheter, and D-dimer (D-D) level before catheterization. The multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that the Caprini score on the day of catheterization ( OR=1.20, 95% CI 1.08, 1.33), use of glucocorticoids ( OR=3.13, 95% CI 0.99, 10.46), and D-D level before catheterization ( OR=1.16, 95% CI 1.07, 1.33) were independent risk factors for PICC-UEDVT in TBI patients. The regression equation was developed as: Logit [ P/(1- P)]=-2.56+0.18×"Caprini score on the day of catheterization"+1.14×"use of glucocorticoids"+0.15×"D-D level before catheterization". In the prediction model which was constructed based on the equation, the AUC values for the training set and validation set were 0.73 (95% CI 0.65, 0.81) and 0.77 (95% CI 0.65, 0.87) respectively. The H-L goodness-of-fit test indicated χ2=3.28, P=0.950 for the training set and χ2=13.05, P=0.160 for the validation set. Calibration curves for both sets demonstrated alignment between the actual and predicted probabilities of PICC-UEDVT in TBI patients. DCA results showed that the net benefit rate of patients was optimal when the threshold probability ranged from 15% to 72% for the training set and from 10% to 81% for the validation set. Conclusion:The prediction model based on the Caprini score on the day of catheterization, use of glucocorticoids, and D-D level before catheterization demonstrates good predictive accuracy, calibration and clinical practicality in predicting PICC-UEDVT in TBI patients.

Objective:To attain comprehensive insight into the diagnostic X-ray equipment and examination frequency in radiological diagnosis and treatment institutions in Wuhan, with the purpose of assisting the health administration department in formulating medical exposure protection strategies and efficiently allocating radiological diagnosis and treatment resources.Methods:Using the census method, questionnaires on the basic information on diagnostic X-ray equipment and the annual number of examinations filled out in 2022 by the 1 030 radiological diagnosis and treatment institutions (excluding military and armed police hospitals) were collected through the Wuhan Prevention and Treatment Information Management Platform for Occupational Diseases. To obtain the data on number and frequency of diagnostic X-ray examinations, the different types of diagnostic X-ray examinations were divided by the total number of permanent residents by the end of 2021 in Wuhan.Results:In Wuhan, 1 030 radiological diagnosis and treatment institutions had 7 062 radiation workers and 2 540 diagnostic X-ray units of various types. 37.76% of units and 75.01% of radiation workers were concentrated in tertiary hospitals. The number of diagnostic X-ray units per million population was 186.10, with the top two being 48.65 DR machines per million population and 31.21 intraoral dental machines per million population. The total number of diagnostic X-ray examinations was 11 884 582, with plain radiographs and computed tomography (CT) examinations accounting for 43.61% and 43.59% of the total, respectively. The annual frequency of examinations was 379.75 and 379.52 per 1 000 population, respectively. Radiodiagnosis and treatment resources were higher in central urban areas than that in remote urban areas.Conclusions:The development of diagnostic X-ray equipment in Wuhan was experiencing rapid growth, with potential for further expansion, and the frequency has not yet recovered to the level before the COVID-19 pandemic. The allocation of radiodiagnosis and treatment resources between central urban areas and remote urban areas needs to be coordinated and the management of medical radiation protection should be continuously strengthened, so as to promote the sustainable development of inter-regional radiodiagnosis and treatment, and ensure the health and safety of examinaed patients and indivuduals.

Objective:To investigate the incidence of high-grade B-cell lymphoma with MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 rearrangement in Chinese diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) .Methods:From January 2013 to August 2020, 922 DLBCL cases were collected. C-MYC and BCL2 protein expression levels were analyzed by immunohistochemistry staining. Fluorescence in situ hybridization was used to detect the structural abnormalities of MYC, BCL2, and BCL6, including gene breaks and copy number changes.Results:MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 gene breaks were found in 29 out of 922 DLBCL cases (3.15%) , including 25 cases of double-hit lymphoma (DHL; 14 cases involving MYC and BCL2 rearrangements and 11 cases involving MYC and BCL6 rearrangements) and four cases involving MYC, BCL2, and BCL6 rearrangements, referring to triple-hit lymphoma. According to the threshold of C-MYC ≥40% and BCL2 ≥50%, 541 cases (58.68%) overexpressed C-MYC and BCL2 proteins, including 22 DHL cases. Moreover, according to the threshold of C-MYC ≥70% and BCL2 ≥50%, 52 cases (5.64%) overexpressed C-MYC and BCL2 proteins, including nine DHL cases. The P53 protein expression was detected by immunohistochemistry staining. The mutant P53 expression pattern was shown in 101 out of 709 cases (14.25%) , whereas 13 cases (1.83%) were negative, likely indicating P53 gene fragment deletion.Conclusion:The incidence of high-grade B-cell lymphoma with MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 rearrangements was low in DLBCLs, and no significant correlation between gene abnormality and protein overexpression was shown. The correct diagnosis of DHL depends on molecular genetic detection.

Objective:To compare the contracting status for combination medical service( "1+1+1" contract)between elderly residents in Shanghai urban and suburban communities and its influencing factors.Methods:Total 574 outpatients aged over 60 were selected with stratified sampling and convenient sampling method from 3 urban community health service centers and 3 suburban community health service centers in Shanghai. A questionnaire survey was conducted from July to September 2017, the survey included the general information, health status, health concern, purpose of this visit, satisfaction with the center, frequency of visit, choice of first contact, willingness of referral, understanding "1+1+1" contract and preferential policies, contract signing status and reasons.Results:Total 574 questionnaires were distributed and 564 valid questionnaires were retrieved with an effective rate of 98.25%. Of the 292 participants in urban areas, 167 (57.2%) had signed the contract; of the 272 participants in the suburbs, 133 (48.9%) had signed the contract. Univariate analysis showed that self-evaluated health status, visits to the community health service center, satisfaction with the center, concerning health knowledge, long-term medication, the choice of community health center as first contact, the willingness of referral, knowing the "1+1+1" contract policy were associated with the contract-signing in urban residents (χ 2=13.05, 8.51, 13.89, 10.76, 6.26, 12.98, 24.73, 76.77, respectively; all P<0.05); while age, self-evaluated health status, the purpose of this visit, medical examination, type of chronic disease, long-term medication, the choice of community health service center as first contact, the willingness of referral, knowing the "1+1+1" contract policy were associated with the contrct-signing in suburban residents (χ 2=9.56, 14.26, 13.83, 18.30, 18.65, 11.96, 5.99, 5.46 83.44, respectively all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that self-rated health status and awareness of "1+1+1" contract were independent influencing factors for contract-signing in urban residents ( P<0.05); while the awareness of "1+1+1" contract, the purpose of this visit and the frequency of physical examination were influencing factors for contract-signing in suburban residents ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The "1+1+1" signing rate in urban residents is higher than that in suburban residents due to more self health-concerns and higher awareness of the "1+1+1" contracts. It is suggested that the government attach importance to construction of the "1+1+1" contract system for suburb community health service institutions.
