Objective To analyze the unexamined items and situations in occupational health examinations of radiation workers, and provide a reference for the revision of occupational health examination standards for radiation workers. Methods A total of 29 630 radiation workers who underwent occupational health examinations at The Third People’s Hospital of Henan Province in 2023 were selected, and the non-examination rates were statistically analyzed according to occupation, gender, and age. Results The overall non-examination rate of non-medical radiation workers was significantly lower than that of the medical radiation workers (P<0.05). The non-examination rate of chest X-rays among medical radiation workers was significantly higher than that of non-medical radiation workers (P<0.05), while no significant differences were found in other items (P>0.05). Gender-stratified analysis showed that the non-examination rate of routine urine tests was higher in females than in males in both medical and non-medical radiation workers (P<0.05). Age-stratified analysis revealed no significant differences in non-examination rates among different age groups in non-medical radiation workers (P>0.05), whereas the chest X-ray non-examination rate was relatively high in medical radiation workers under 30 years old (P<0.05). Conclusion Significant differences were observed in the non-examination rates of occupational health examinations among radiation workers based on occupation, gender, and age. The overall non-examination rate was relatively low in non-medical radiation workers.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy of acupuncture in the treatment of adolescent depression and to explore its potential mechanisms based on functional magnetic resonance imaging （fMRI） and serum proteomics. MethodsA randomized， double-blind， sham acupuncture-controlled trial design was conducted. A total of 100 adolescents with depression were enrolled and randomly assigned to an acupuncture group and a sham acupuncture group， with 50 participants in each group. In addition， 20 healthy subjects were recruited as healthy controls. Participants in the acupuncture group received acupuncture at Baihui （GV 20）， Yintang （GV 29）， Zhongwan （CV 12）， Qihai （CV 6）， bilateral Tianshu （ST 25）， bilateral Neiguan （PC 6）， bilateral Zusanli （ST 36）， and bilateral Taichong （LR3）. The sham acupuncture group received intervention using a blunt placebo needle without skin penetration. Both groups received 30-min treatments three times per week for 4 weeks. The primary outcome was the reduction rate of the 24-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale （HAMD-24） score. Secondary outcomes included changes in HAMD-24 scores before and after treatment， covering nine factors （anxiety/somatization， cognitive impairment， sleep disturbance， psychomotor retardation， hopelessness， fatigue， weight change， diurnal mood variation， and suicidal ideation）， response rate and remission rate after treatment， and symptom severity before and after treatment. Subgroup analyses of total HAMD-24 scores were performed according to concomitant medication use and the number of medications taken. During the study period， all adverse events were monitored and recorded to evaluate safety. Patients who volunteered and met the eligibility criteria for imaging examinations were selected to undergo brain fMRI scanning and serum proteomic analysis to investigate changes in functional connectivity among brain regions and differential proteins. ResultsA total of 49 participants in the acupuncture group and 50 participants in the sham acupuncture group were included in the efficacy analysis. Among them， 20 participants in the acupuncture group and 21 in the sham acupuncture group completed fMRI scans， while 19 participants in the acupuncture group and 21 in the sham acupuncture group completed serum proteomic analyses. After 4 weeks of treatment， the mean reduction rate of HAMD-24 score in the acupuncture group was significantly higher than that in the sham acupuncture group ［（58±24）% vs.（26±19）%， P＜0.01］. Compared to baseline， scores for anxiety/somatization， cognitive impairment， psychomotor retardation， and hopelessness， and the total HAMD-24 score significantly decreased in both groups. In addition， the acupuncture group showed significant reductions in sleep disturbance， fatigue， and suicidal ideation scores （P＜0.01）. After treatment， the response rate and remission rate were 67.35% （33/49） and 24.48% （12/49） in the acupuncture group， respectively， significantly higher than 6.00% （3/50） and 0 in the sham acupuncture group （P＜0.01）. The proportion of participants with moderate symptoms was lower， whereas the proportion with mild symptoms was higher in the acupuncture group than the sham acupuncture group （P＜0.01）. Among those receiving acupuncture alone， acupuncture combined with medication， or fewer than three medications， the total HAMD-24 scores decreased after treatment in both the acupuncture subgroup and the sham acupuncture subgroup， with significantly lower scores in the acupuncture subgroup （P＜0.01）. During the study period， four mild adverse events were reported， including one case in the acupuncture group and three cases in the sham acupuncture group； none of these events affected the continuation of treatment. fMRI results showed that acupuncture enhanced functional connectivity between the prefrontal cortex and cerebellar-limbic system-related brain regions. Proteomic analysis identified 24 differentially expressed proteins associated with acupuncture treatment， mainly enriched in pathways related to neuroinflammation and energy metabolism. ConclusionAcupuncture can significantly improve depressive symptoms in adolescents with depression. Its therapeutic effects may be achieved by modulating emotion-related brain networks and regulating pathways associated with neuroinflammation and energy metabolism.

Objective To analyze the predictive value of the combined application of triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) and triglyceride-glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) for the severity of coronary artery lesions in postmenopausal patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods Menopausal women who were diagnosed by coronary angiography and received treatment in the cardiovascular department were selected as the research subjects. According to the Gensini score, the patients were divided into a moderate group (n=151) and a severe group (n=203). The clinical indexes of the two groups were compared and ROC analysis was used to predict the efficacy. Results The BMI, age, hypertension rate, WBC, PLT, NEUT, TC, TG, LCI, TyG, and TyG‑BMI in the severe group were significantly higher than those in the moderate group, while ALB was significantly lower than that in the moderate group (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression showed that age, hypertension, WBC, TyG, and TyG‑BMI were independent risk factors for severe coronary artery disease in postmenopausal women (P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC of TyG was 0.745, the AUC of TyG‑BMI was 0.797, and the AUC of TyG combined with TyG‑BMI was 0.803, all showing good predictive performance. Conclusion TyG and TyG‑BMI are effective indicators for predicting the severity of coronary artery disease in postmenopausal CHD patients. The combination of the two can further improve predictive efficacy, providing a simple and economical reference for early clinical risk stratification.

Objective To investigate the risk factors and intervention measures for surgical site infec-tion following posterolateral approach lumbar fusion surgery.Methods A total of 1 078 patients who under-went posterolateral approach lumbar fusion surgery in the department of spine surgery from January 1,2022 to December 31,2023 were included.Patient related information was collected through the real-time nosocomi-al infection monitoring system,while medical visit information was obtained via the outpatient electronic med-ical record system.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors for surgical site infection.Results Among the 1 078 patients,34 cases(3.15%)developed surgical site infections,while 1 044 cases did not.Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that age,smoking,hypertension,diabetes,concurrent hospital stay,operative time,duration of postoperative antimicrobial use after initial surgery,and total antimicrobial use duration were significant risk factors for surgical site infection(P＜0.05).Among the 34 infected patients,the duration of antimicrobial use varied significantly across different infection sites(P＜0.05),with the longest duration observed in patients with deep space infections.Conclusion Targeted surveil-lance of surgical site infections should be reinforced based on these risk factors.Perioperative infection control measures must be strictly implemented to improve the scientific,precise,and standardized management of sur-gical-related nosocomial infections.

Objective:To construct a biosafety evaluation index system for major emergency public health events in medical institutions.Methods:Based on previous laboratory biosafety evaluation work, relevant regulations and standards on biosafety in China were collected through literature research and expert consultations. Candidate indicators for constructing the biosafety evaluation system for major emergency public health events in medical institutions were selected, and a framework was established. Two rounds of expert questionnaires were conducted to determine the content of the index system based on experts′ evaluation, and each indicator′s relevance and importance were scored. Finally, two rounds of Delphi consultations were carried out, and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was applied to calculate the weights of indicators.Results:The response rates for the total four rounds of questionnaire surveys were all 100%. The first two rounds focused on determining the framework, while the latter two focused on determining the weights for each indicator. The authority coefficients of the expert consultations for the two rounds of weights were 0.65 and 0.70, respectively, indicating the reliability of the research results. In the final round of survey, the Kendall′s coefficients of concordance at each level were all greater than 0.1. Through statistical testing, the P-values were all less than 0.05, indicating good coordination of expert opinions. Ultimately, we established an operational biosafety evaluation system for major emergency public health events in medical institutions, consisting of 4 primary indicators, 26 secondary indicators, and 119 tertiary indicators, with additional deduction items, bonus items, unacceptable items, and monitoring indicators.Conclusions:Based on scientific theory, a biosafety evaluation system for major emergency public health events in medical institutions was constructed, achieving the integration of routine and emergency measures. This system can be used for self-assessment of laboratory biosafety during emergency public health events, addressing the lack of unified standards in biosafety evaluation. Through regular self-assessment, it can enhance the level of biosafety management in medical institution laboratories, to realize the value of application and dissemination.

Objective:To investigate the differences in hippocampal subfield volumes and structural covariance network properties among patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) exhibiting different cognitive outcomes and normal controls (NCs), and to further evaluate the predictive value of these imaging indicators for cognitive deterioration in MCI patients.Methods:A total of 43 NCs, 65 stable MCI (sMCI), and 26 progressive MCI (pMCI) patients enrolled in the Alzheimer′s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) database between December 2012 and May 2016 were included in this study. Baseline demographic information and T 1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging scans were collected. Hippocampal subfield volumes were extracted using freesurfer software, and structural covariance networks of hippocampal subfields were constructed. Multivariate analysis of covariance was used to compare hippocampal subfield volumes among the 3 groups. A general linear model was applied to examine group differences in hippocampal subfield structural covariance network properties. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO)-Logistic regression was employed to identify imaging predictors associated with conversion to Alzheimer′s disease (AD), based on which structural, network-based, and combined predictive models were constructed. Model discrimination was evaluated using the area under the curve (AUC); internal validation was performed using Bootstrap resampling; model calibration was assessed with the Hosmer-Lemeshow test; and clinical utility was evaluated through decision curve analysis. Results:Significant differences in hippocampal subfield volumes (mm3) were observed among the 3 groups (all P<0.05, Bonferroni-corrected). Specifically, left parasubiculum (65.58±13.30, 61.96±17.56, 49.56±11.82, F=9.900), right parasubiculum (65.92±15.21, 59.45±16.65, 47.69±15.48, F=11.612), left presubiculum (277.09±39.85, 258.15±44.86, 224.05±45.05, F=14.513), right presubiculum (262.85±40.43, 247.41±43.27, 209.97±46.11, F=14.500), left subiculum (399.66±32.19, 374.25±55.83, 306.12±51.62, F=32.923), right subiculum (417.93±48.92, 376.59±51.01, 316.82±70.22, F=28.764), left cornu ammonis 1 (CA1) (592.10±83.87, 561.96±94.72, 490.06±86.89, F=13.352), right CA1 (632.15±100.09, 601.24±88.88, 531.05±110.29, F=10.579), left CA3 (191.58±30.08, 180.47±34.66, 155.08±37.82, F=12.182), right CA3 (210.42±28.92, 203.84±34.80, 176.69±41.47, F=9.597), left CA4 (224.61±28.94, 210.49±35.04, 183.98±36.89, F=16.521), right CA4 (238.49±28.14, 227.43±30.65, 200.23±42.74, F=13.702), left granule cell-molecular layer-dentate gyrus (GC-ML-DG) (259.96±36.76, 239.42±41.17, 207.61±41.84, F=19.831), right GC-ML-DG (273.98±35.12, 258.79±36.82, 227.81±49.07, F=14.204), left molecular layer (505.62±66.16, 468.58±75.17, 402.68±75.47, F=22.293), right molecular layer (527.39±72.39, 493.14±70.39, 423.81±88.09, F=19.588), left hippocampal amygdala transition area (HATA) (54.91±9.99, 49.52±9.93, 43.27±9.59, F=13.571), right HATA (58.43±9.83, 54.55±10.80, 47.12±12.54, F=10.037), left fimbria (69.94±25.04, 56.63±23.74, 40.58±19.83, F=14.846), right fimbria (68.61±26.24, 53.95±23.16, 45.25±17.04, F=10.424), left hippocampal tail (488.37±83.44, 463.54±80.33, 393.83±77.73, F=13.570), and right hippocampal tail (519.78±80.22, 498.84±81.68, 419.75±93.29, F=14.339) all showed significant group differences. Significant group differences were also observed in small-worldness metric γ (0.51±0.10, 0.51±0.08, 0.62±0.14, F=9.317), small-worldness metric λ (0.39±0.02, 0.39±0.02, 0.43±0.04, F=9.925), global efficiency (0.19±0.01, 0.20±0.01, 0.18±0.01, F=3.189), local efficiency (0.26±0.02, 0.26±0.01, 0.27±0.01, F=3.068), clustering coefficient (0.23±0.01, 0.23±0.01, 0.24±0.02, F=4.274), and characteristic path length (0.73±0.06, 0.72±0.06, 0.76±0.07, F=4.477) of the hippocampal subfield structural covariance network (all P<0.05). Specifically, the pMCI group exhibited higher γ ( t=3.773, P<0.001), λ ( t=4.060, P<0.001), local efficiency ( t=2.445, P=0.047), and clustering coefficient ( t=2.849, P=0.015) than the NCs group, and higher γ ( t=4.074, P<0.001), λ ( t=4.068, P<0.001), and characteristic path length ( t=2.986, P=0.010) but lower global efficiency ( t=-2.444, P=0.047) than the sMCI group. The AUC of the structural, network, and combined models based on LASSO-Logistic regression was 0.837, 0.861, and 0.899, respectively. After internal validation, the corrected AUC was 0.835, 0.855, and 0.889, respectively. All models demonstrated good calibration ( P>0.05), and decision curve analysis indicated favorable clinical net benefit across models. Conclusions:Both sMCI and pMCI patients exhibit widespread hippocampal subfield atrophy and altered global properties of hippocampal subfield structural covariance networks compared to NCs. The models constructed based on hippocampal subfield volumes and structural covariance networks show strong potential for predicting cognitive decline in MCI patients.
