Objective To track and evaluate the implementation and application of the occupational health standard Radiation shielding requirements for radiotherapy room—Part 4: Radiotherapy room of ²⁵²Cf neutron afterloading (GBZ/T 201.4-2015) by radiation health technical service agencies, medical institutions, health supervision agencies, and radiotherapy facility design units, and to provide a scientific basis for the further revision and implementation of this standard. Methods Following the Guideline for health standards tracking evaluation (WS/T 536-2017) and the project implementation plan, relevant practitioners were randomly selected for a questionnaire survey. The survey primarily focused on their awareness, standard training, application, and revision suggestions of GBZ/T 201.4-2015. The results were summarized and analyzed. Results A total of 168 evaluation questionnaires were collected from relevant practitioners in 28 provinces. Only 31.6% of the respondents reported being “well familiar” or “ familiar” with the standard, 27.4% of the respondents believed that the standard was widely used, and 45.2% of the respondents believed that the standard could meet the needs of their work. Only 14.9% of the respondents had received relevant training on the standard, more than half of the respondents had not applied the standard within the past 10 years, and 45.2% of the respondents believed that the standard "needs to be revised". Conclusion Due to the small number of californium-252 neutron afterloading radiotherapy devices in operation on the market, the overall awareness of the standard is low, suggesting that relevant authorities need to strengthen training and publicity of the standard, and that certain sections of the standard need to be revised or merged.

【Objective】 To analyze the influence of plasma donation on human total protein level and the impact of different blood collection tubes on total protein level detection. 【Methods】 A total of 1 373 plasma donors from 11 apheresis plasma stations in 6 provinces/autonomous regions from March to April, 2021 were selected. Whole blood was collected by ordinary blood collection tube without anticoagulant, heparin anticoagulant tube and sodium citrate anticoagulant tube, and then respectively divided into serum group, heparin anticoagulant group, and sodium citrate anticoagulant group. After separating serum and plasma, the samples were subjected to total protein detection using the biuret method. Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare the total protein levels among different tubes. The plasma donors were divided into male group (n=597) and female group (n=776), and the total protein levels between different genders were compared by t test. The plasma donors were divided into Sichuan group, Hubei group and Gansu group according to the region, and the Games-Howell test was used for comparison. 【Results】 The median serum total protein level of 1 373 donors was 73.1g/L, which was consistent with the reference range of 65-85 g/L. The median total protein levels of the serum group, heparin anticoagulant group and sodium citrate anticoagulant group were 73.1g/L, 73.3g/L and 63.8g/L, respectively, with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). There was statistical significance in total protein level between sodium citrate anticoagulant group and serum group, sodium citrate anticoagulant group and heparin anticoagulant group(P<0.05), but no statistical significance was noticed between serum group and heparin anticoagulant group (P> 0.05). The serum total protein levels of male group and female group were (72.41±5.40)g/L and (73.67±4.95)g/L, reseectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The serum total protein level in Sichuan group, Hubei group and Gansu group was (73.91±4.29)g/L, (74.17±5.11)g/L and (67.09±3.65)g/L, respectively (P<0.05).The difference between Gansu group and Hubei group, Gansu group and Sichuan group was statistically significant (P<0.05), but no significant difference was noticed between Sichuan group and Hubei group (P>0.05). 【Conclusion】 Plasma donors who meet the donation criteria will not experience abnormal total protein levels due to regular plasma donation. There were differences in total protein levels among different blood collection tubes, different genders and different regions. The total protein level of females was higher than that of males. The total protein level was the highest in Hubei province, followed by Sichuan and Gansu.Heparin anticoagulant group was the highest, followed by serum group and sodium citrate anticoagulant group.

Objective : To analyze the expression and immune infiltration levels of the BMP7 gene ( BMP7) in e- sophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC) ． Methods : Initially，in 274 cases of ESCC and 242 cases of normal tissues，the level of BMP7 was verified by immunohistochemistry ，and the relationship between the expression difference and the survival cycle and clinical pathological characteristics of patients with ESCC was explored，and BMP7 overexpression plasmid transfection of ESCC cells was established，and the effect of BMP7 on the biological behavior of ESCC cells was examined by CCK-8，Clone，and Transwell. Results : BMP7 expression in normal e- sophageal tissues was higher than that of ESCC(P＜0. 001) ，the expression level of BMP7 was correlated with the degree of differentiation of patients(P = 0. 006) and TNM staging(P ＜0. 001) ，and the survival of patients with high expression of BMP7 exceeded that of patients with low BMP7 (P = 0. 041) ，and the experiments of CCK-8 and Clone showed that the proliferation effect of cells in the overexpressed BMP7 group was lower than that of the control group．Transwell experiments confirmed that the cell invasion migration capacity of the overexpressed BMP7 group was less than that of the control one．The immune infiltration results showed that BMP7 was positively correlated with macrophages(P = 0. 008) and negatively correlated with γ-δT cells(P = 0. 028) ． Conclusion BMP7 is low in ESCC and associated with poor prognosis and immune infiltration levels in patients.

Objective To evaluate biomechanical properties of the nickel-titanium (NiTi) memory alloy stent and its in vitro biomechanical properties for lumbar interbody fusion. Methods The mechanical properties of the NiTi memory alloy stent were tested on mechanical testing machine. Moreover, lumbar interbody fusion was simulated on fresh lumbar specimens, and biomechanical properties of the NiTi memory alloy stent with matching bone graft for used for lumbar interbody fusion were analyzed and compared with the traditional box-shape cage. Results The maximum compressive strength of the NiTi memory alloy stent was ( 12 964 ± 962) N. The maximum deformation within the effective range of memory characteristics was (4. 68±0. 03) mm. The recovery rate of the NiTi memory alloy stent was up to 99. 86% . Compared with the intact lumbar model, the stability of the operative segment after the simulated lumbar interbody fusion using NiTi memory alloy stent alone was increased in the direction of anterior flexion, posterior extension, lateral flexion and rotation, which was equivalent to the box shape cage group (P>0. 05). After the combined use of autogenous bone granule and absorbable bone cement the ROM of the operative segment was further reduced (P<0. 05), which was equivalent to the box-shape cage+ unilateral posterior fixation group (P>0. 05). The pull-out strength of the NiTi memory alloy stent with matching bone graft group was significantly stronger than that of the box-shape cage group (P<0. 05). Conclusions The NiTi memory alloy stent in this study was designed with a matched bone granule-absorbable bone cement graft,which provided a new idea for the further optimization and development of lumbar interbody fusion. With excellent support and deformation properties, this NiTi memory alloy stent is biomechanical equivalent to the traditional box shape cage for lumbar interbody fusion, and can greatly improve the stability of surgical segment and the pull-out strength of implants after the combined use of autogenous bone granule and absorbable bone cement.

Objective To investigate the expression of Specific protein1(SP1)in esophageal squamous cell carci-noma(ESCC)and adjacent normal tissues and its effect on the proliferation and apoptosis of ESCC cells.Methods The expression of SP1 protein in 121 ESCC tissues and 74 adjacent normal tissues was detected by immunohisto-chemistry.Chi-square test and Cox regression analysis were used to analyze the relationship between SP1 and clini-copathological parameters and survival prognosis of ESCC patients.SP1 siRNA(small interfering RNA)was con-structed and transfected into esophageal squamous cell carcinoma Eca1 09 and EC9706 cell lines.Western blot was used to detect the expression of SP1 after transfection.The effects of SP1 on the proliferation and apoptosis of e-sophageal squamous cell carcinoma cells were detected by cloning assay,CCK-8 cell proliferation assay and flow cytometry.Results SP1 protein was expressed in the nucleus of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma tissues,and the expression rate of SP1 protein in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma tissues was significantly higher than that in adjacent normal tissues(x2=20.568,P＜0.01).Comparison between groups showed that the high expression rate of SP1 was higher in female(P=0.041),moderately or poorly differentiated(P=0.038)and T3-T4 inva-sion depth(P=0.041)ESCC(esophageal squamous cell carcinoma)patients.Log-rank test showed that the sur-vival time of patients with high expression of SP1 was shorter than that of patients with low expression of SP1(P=0.048).Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that TNM(tumor node metastasis classification)stage(Ⅲ+Ⅳ)was a potential risk factor for shorter survival time in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(P＜0.001).Cell biological experiments showed that compared with the control group,the proliferation ability of esoph-ageal squamous cell carcinoma cell lines decreased(P＜0.05)and the apoptosis index increased(P＜0.05)after silencing SP1.Conclusion SP1 protein is highly expressed in human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma tissues and is associated with poor prognosis in patients.Silencing SP1 can inhibit the proliferation of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cells and promote their apoptosis.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between life events, cognitive emotional regulation strategies, neuroticism and depression in pregnant women and the internal mechanism of action.Methods:Short-term longitudinal follow-up design were used in this study.A total of 327 pregnant women in the third trimester of pregnancy were investigated with pregnant women's life events scale, cognitive emotion regulation strategy questionnaire, neuroticism subscale of Chinese big five personality questionaire-short form at T1 time point, and patient health questionnaire 9 were measured after 6 weeks(T2).SPSS 20.0 macro program PROCESS was used to examine the mediating effect of cognitive emotion and the moderating effect of neuroticism.Results:(1) The incidence of depression in the third trimester pregnant women was 12.23%.(2)There was significant positive correlation between the total score of life events in pregnant women(T1) and the total score of non-adaptive cognitive emotional regulation strategies(T1) ( r=0.25, P<0.01).Total neurotic personality(T1) and total depressive mood(T2) were significantly positively correlated ( r=0.46, P<0.01).The total scores of life events(T1) of pregnant women were significantly positively correlated with the total scores of depression(T2) ( r=0.36, P<0.01).(3) The non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategy (T1) played a partial mediating role between life events (T1) and depression (T2).The direct effect (effect size=0.29) and the mediating effect (effect size=0.07) accounted for 80.55% and 19.44% of the total effect (effect size=0.36).(4) Neuroticism regulates the second part of the mediating effect of the mediating model.Specifically, the higher the level of individual neuroticism, the stronger the positive predictive effect of non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies on maternal depression. Conclusion:Pregnant life events play a role in maternal depression through the mediating role of non-adaptive cognitive emotional regulation strategies and the moderating role of neuroticism.

To develop a quality control checklist for the prevention and control of coronavirus disease 2019 （COVID-19） in fever clinic and isolation ward of the general hospital and to assess its application. Based on the relevant prevention and control plans and technical guidelines for COVID-19，Delphi method was used to identity items for evaluation，and a quality control checklist for the prevention and control of COVID-19 in the fever clinic and isolation ward was developed in Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital. The checklists included 8 dimensions and 32 items for fever clinic，7 dimensions and 27 items for the isolation ward. The appointed inspectors conducted daily quality control for each shift with this checklist. The expert authority coefficient was 0.88，the mean of the importance of each index in the quality control table was not less than 4.8，and the coefficient of variation was not more than 0.07. During the entire February 2020，8 problems were found and rectified on-the-spot with the application of the checklist. Quality inspection rate was 100% in both isolation wards and fever clinic. The compliance rate and accuracy rate of hand hygiene were 100%; the correct rate of wearing and removing protective equipment increased from 96% to 100%. During the same period，a total of 1915 patients were admitted to the fever clinic，including 191 suspected patients （all were isolated in the hospital，3 were confirmed）. There were no medical staff infected with COVID-19，no cross infection of patients and their families in the hospital. A quality control checklist for the prevention and control of COVID-19 has been developed and applied in the isolation wards and fever clinic，which plays an important role in preventing nosocomial infection.

Objective:To investigate the regulatory effects of endogenous nitric oxide (NO) on the activity of superoxide dismutase-1 (SOD1) and apoptosis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs).Methods:HUVECs were taken as the research object.The endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) short hairpin RNA(shRNA) lentivirus was employed to transfect HUVECs to knock down eNOS.HUVECs were divided in 4 groups: the scramble group, the eNOS shRNA group, the eNOS shRNA + sodium nitroprusside(SNP) group and the eNOS shRNA+ SNP+ tris (2-carboxyethyl) phosphine hydrochloride (TCEP) group.The protein expressions of eNOS and SOD1 dimer/monomer in cells were detected by western blot.The activity of SOD was detected by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The NO content in cells was detected with NO fluorescence probe.The level of superoxide anion in HUVECs was detected with dihydropyridine (DHE). The terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) assay was adopted to detect the apoptosis of HUVECs in situ.Results:Compared with the scramble group, the endogenous NO content (2.690±0.420 vs.15.029±2.193, P<0.01), eNOS protein expression (1.000±0.778 vs.3.141±0.199, P<0.01), SOD1 dimer/monomer ratio (4.6±1.0 vs.7.6±2.0, P<0.05) and SOD activity [(0.432±0.254) Carmen′s unit/10 4 cell vs.(1.000±0.116) Carmen′s unit/10 4 cell, P<0.01] were significantly decreased, while the level of intracellular superoxide anion (11.180±1.560 vs.6.146±1.007, P<0.01) and HUVECs apoptosis [75.0 (55.0, 100.0)% vs.0 (0, 0)%, P<0.01] were significantly increased in the eNOS shRNA group.Compared with the eNOS shRNA group, the content of endogenous NO (16.705±0.116 vs.2.690±0.420, P<0.01), the ratio of SOD1 dimer/monomer (7.3±2.0 vs.4.6±1.0, P<0.05) and the activity of SOD [(0.737±0.060) Carmen′s unit/10 4 cell vs.(0.432±0.254) Carmen′s unit/10 4 cell, P<0.05] were significantly increased, while the level of superoxide anion (6.897±1.648 vs.11.180±1.560, P<0.01) and the HUVECs apoptosis [0 (0, 0)% vs.75.0 (55.0, 100.0)%, P<0.01] were significantly decreased in the eNOS shRNA+ SNP group.Compared with the eNOS shRNA + SNP group, the ratio of SOD1 dimer/monomer (4.4±0.9 vs.7.3±2.0, P<0.05) and the activity of SOD [(0.214±0.084) Carmen′s unit/10 4 cell vs.(0.737±0.060) Carmen′s unit/10 4 cell, P<0.01] were significantly decreased, while the level of superoxide anion (10.917±1.552 vs.6.897±1.640, P<0.01) and the apoptosis level of HUVECs[63.6 (55.0, 90.0)% vs.0 (0, 0)%, P<0.01] were significantly increased in the eNOS shRNA+ SNP+ TCEP group.However, there was no significant difference in the NO content (16.112±0.926 vs.16.705±0.116, P>0.05). Conclusions:Endogenous NO could effectively antagonize the apoptosis of endothelial cells by increasing the cysteine-dependent SOD1 dimer/monomer ratio, enhancing SOD activity and inhibiting the accumulation of reactive oxygen species.
