Objective:
To investigate the occupational health literacy (OHL) level and its influencing factors of key populations in Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide a basis for promoting occupational health.
Methods:
The front-line workers of 7 secondary industry enterprises (institutions) and 15 tertiary industry enterprises (institutions) in Jinhua City were selected from April to October 2023 using a stratified random cluster sampling method. Date of gender, age, length of service, and OHL were collected using the National Occupational Health Literacy Monitoring Survey for Key Population Personal Questionnaire. Factors affecting OHL level among key populations were identified using multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 3 305 people were investigated, including 1 750 males (52.95%) and 1 555 females (47.05%). The median age and the length of service were 37 (interquartile range, 17) and (interquartile range, 9) years, respectively. The level of OHL was 45.63%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified gender (female, OR=1.675, 95%CI: 1.428-1.964), educational level (junior high school, OR=1.499, 95%CI: 1.089-2.063; high school, OR=1.905, 95%CI: 1.361-2.667; junior college, OR=4.065, 95%CI: 2.858-5.782; bachelor degree and above, OR=5.087, 95%CI: 3.597-7.194), personal monthly income (3 000-< 5 000 yuan, OR=1.373, 95%CI: 1.035-1.821; 5 000-<7 000 yuan, OR=1.653, 95%CI: 1.230-2.220; ≥7 000 yuan, OR=1.798, 95%CI: 1.322-2.447) and length of service (2-<6 years, OR=1.265, 95%CI: 1.032-1.551; 6-<11 years, OR=1.517, 95%CI: 1.184-1.943; ≥11 years, OR=1.337, 95%CI: 1.040-1.719) as factors affecting OHL level among key populations.
Conclusions
The OHL level of the key populations in Jinhua City is related to gender, age, education level, personal monthly income, and length of service. It is necessary to strengthen the occupational health education and health promotion of the key populations.

ObjectiveTo investigate the possible mechanism of Shufeng Jiedu capsules (SFJD) in alleviating influenza A (H1N1) virus pneumonia and focus on its effect on Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling pathway in respiratory epithelial cells. MethodsA mouse model of viral pneumonia was established via the A/PR/8/34 (PR8) strain of influenza A virus. Mice were randomly divided into a normal group, a PR8 infection (PR8) group, and an SFJD group (8.4 g·kg-1), with 10 mice in each group. The day of infection was designated as day 1. The SFJD group was administered intragastrically at a volume of 20 mL·kg-1 daily, while the normal and PR8 groups were given an equal volume of deionized water. Micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT) was performed on day 5, and the mice were dissected to collect their lungs, after which the lung index was calculated to verify the therapeutic effect of SFJD. Single-cell sequencing was used to analyze the differentially expressed genes in respiratory epithelial cells. Multiplex fluorescence immunohistochemistry was employed to detect the expression of TLR, tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6), and myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) proteins in epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM)-positive cells, and the proportion of respiratory epithelial cells expressing TLR pathway proteins was calculated. Respiratory epithelial cells were then sorted by flow cytometry, and Western blot was used to detect the expression of TLR, MyD88, TRAF6, Toll-interleukin receptor domain-containing adaptor inducing interferon-β (TRIF), inhibitor of κB kinase α (IKKα), and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) in the sorted epithelial cells. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure the levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in lung tissue. ResultsAt the transcriptional level, SFJD reversed the expression of TLR signaling pathway genes in respiratory epithelial cells, downregulating multiple TLR signaling pathway-related genes (P<0.01). At the protein level, SFJD significantly reduced the proportion of respiratory epithelial cells expressing TLR3 (P<0.05), the expression levels of TLR2, TLR3, TLR4, TRIF, TRAF6, IKKα, and NF-κB in epithelial cells(P<0.05, P<0.01), as well as the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and TNF-α in lung tissue (P<0.01). ConclusionSFJD may alleviate viral pneumonia by suppressing the expression of TLR in respiratory epithelial cells and their subsequent signaling cascades.

Synovium is the target organ of rheumatoid arthritis.The excessive proliferation of synovial cells and insufficient apoptosis lead to synovial hyperplasia,which in turn causes damage to the surrounding tissues of the joint and bone destruction."Yang transforming qi and yin forming elements"is derived from Su Wen and is a highly summarized description of the functions of yin and yang,which runs through the entire course of the disease.This article elucidated the theoretical connotation of"yang transforming qi and yin forming elements"and its connection with synovial hyperplasia,proposing that the insufficiency of"yang transforming qi"is the root of synovial hyperplasia,while the excess of"yin forming elements"is the manifestation of synovial hyperplasia.Based on this,it put forward that"assisting yang qi as the priority,and according to the bias of pathogenic factors of yin,supplementing the method of reducing yin forming elements"is an important principle for treating this disease,which could provide new ideas for the treatment of the disease.

Objective To study the effects from varying stenosis degrees of the mesencephalic aqueduct on intracranial cerebrospinal fluid(CSF)flow field.Methods Based on the clinical magnetic resonance image sequences of a male volunteer,a complete normal CSF circulation model was reconstructed by using semi-automated image segmentation technique.Subsequently,eight ideal models representing different stenosis degrees of the mesencephalic aqueduct were manually created.Computational fluid dynamics(CFD)was then performed to simulate the CSF flow field in the nine models.Results The stenosis degree of the mesencephalic aqueduct was positively correlated with the maximum pressure difference between the aqueduct upstream and downstream and the maximum velocity of CSF within the stenosed aqueduct.In the normal model,the maximum pressure difference was 0.84 Pa and the maximum velocity was 11.4 mm/s.While in the maximum stenosed model,the maximum pressure difference and velocity were 21.36 Pa and 60.3 mm/s,respectively.Compared to the normal model,the maximum pressure difference and velocity were approximately increased by 25 times and 5 times,respectively.Moreover,the maximum pressure difference was inversely proportional to the stenosis area square of the aqueduct,and there was a linear relationship between the pressure difference and the quadratic of the maximun CSF velocity.Conclusions The pressure difference and velocity of the stenosed mesencephalic aqueduct was not apparently increased with mild stenosis with respect to the normal aqueduct,while the great aqueductal stenosis increased the risk of hydrocephalus.This study provides a theoretical framework which contributes to understanding the development of obstructive hydrocephalus and intracranial hypertension.

Objective:To investigate lymph node metastasis(LNM)in the prostatic anterior fat pad(PAFP)of PCa patients after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy(RARP),and analyze the clinicopathological features and prognosis of LNM in the PAFP.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathological data on 1 003 cases of PCa treated by RARP in the Department of Urolo-gy of PLA General Hospital from January 2017 to December 2022.All the patients underwent routine removal of the PAFP during RARP and pathological examination,with the results of all the specimens examined and reported by pathologists.Based on the pres-ence and locations of LNM,we grouped the patients for statistical analysis,compared the clinicopathological features between different groups using the Student's t,Mann-Whitney U and Chi-square tests,and conducted survival analyses using the Kaplan-Meier and Log-rank methods and survival curves generated by Rstudio.Results:Lymph nodes were detected in 77(7.7%)of the 1 003 PAFP samples,and LNM in 11(14.3%)of the 77 cases,with a positive rate of 1.1%(11/1 003).Of the 11 positive cases,9 were found in the upgraded pathological N stage,and the other 2 complicated by pelvic LNM.The patients with postoperative pathological stage≥T3 constituted a significantly higher proportion in the PAFP LNM than in the non-PAFP LNM group(81.8%[9/11]vs 36.2%[359/992],P=0.005),and so did the cases with Gleason score ≥8(87.5%[7/8]vs 35.5%[279/786],P=0.009).No statisti-cally significant differences were observed in the clinicopathological features and biochemical recurrence-free survival between the pa-tients with PAFP LNM only and those with pelvic LNM only.Conclusion:The PAFP is a potential route to LNM,and patients with LNM in the PAFP are characterized by poor pathological features.There is no statistically significant difference in biochemical recur-rence-free survival between the patients with PAFP LNM only and those with pelvic LNM only.Routine removal of the PAFP and inde-pendent pathological examination of the specimen during RARP is of great clinical significance.
