Objective To explore the factors affecting the quality of psychological assistance hotline connections in Shaanxi Province, and to provide a basis for optimizing services. Methods A total of 149 calls with suicidal tendencies were included from January to March 2022, and data were collected by 31 trained assessors through standardized questionnaires (general information, suicide risk, emotional intensity, and wiring characteristics). Results The results showed that 56.38% of the callers were female, with age groups concentrated between ≤ 18 years old (29.53%) and 19-34 years old (43.62%). The call duration was mainly between 31 and 45 minutes (50.34%). Operators conducted a suicide risk assessment on the callers, with 38.9% having a comprehensive assessment, 38.9% having an incomplete assessment, and 22.1% having no assessment. The main mental disorders of the callers were depression (48.32%), anxiety (15.44%), and bipolar disorder (14.77%), with 25.50% having comorbidities of ≥ 2 disorders. Emotional scores were as follows: depression (4.11 ± 0.76), sadness (3.97 ± 1.03), and despair (3.78 ± 1.05). There were significant differences in depression, anger, despair, and sadness among the callers with different levels of danger (t=4.79, 3.35, 15.79, 4.24, all P<0.05). Women had higher levels of fear than men (t=3.10, P<0.01). The longer the call duration, the higher the level of despair (t=5.66, P<0.01). Multiple regression analysis showed that incomplete suicide risk assessment by operators (B=-2.36), general procedures for operators' connections (B=5.44), and technical factors (B=2.01) significantly affected the quality of psychological assistance hotlines (all P<0.05). Conclusion Callers with suicidal tendencies generally have serious mental and psychological problems and prominent negative emotions. Strengthening the suicide risk assessment ability of operators and standardizing processes and service attitudes are key to improving the quality of psychological assistance hotlines.

ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the effect of intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) on lower extremity motor function and balance function in patients with stroke. MethodsA systematic literature search was conducted in the Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI, SinoMed, Wanfang data and VIP from inception to February 19, 2025. Randomized controlled trials comparing iTBS with conventional rehabilitation or sham iTBS in patients with post-stroke lower extremity motor and balance dysfunction were included. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 and Stata 14.0. ResultsA total of 16 articles involving 647 patients were included. Meta-analysis showed that iTBS improved the Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Lower Extremities score (MD = 2.58, 95%CI 1.61 to 3.55, P < 0.001), Berg Balance Scale score (MD = 4.11, 95%CI 2.43 to 5.79, P < 0.001), Barthel Index score (MD = 4.95, 95%CI 0.97 to 8.92, P = 0.010) and motor-evoked potential (MEP) latency (MD = -1.42, 95%CI -2.54 to -0.30, P = 0.010). Subgroup analyses suggested that at subacute stage, cerebellar iTBS, more than ten treatment sessions, and 1 200 pulses per day may be more effective. ConclusioniTBS may improve lower extremity motor function and activities of daily living in patients with stroke, and shorten MEP latency, and it may also confer potential benefits in improving balance function in these patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate a suspected outbreak of healthcare-associated infection with carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) in a geriatric emergency ward, and to provide references for the prevention and control of multidrug-resistant bacteria in a hospital in Shanghai. MethodsOn-site epidemiological investigation, combined with environmental hygiene monitoring and pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) molecular typing method, were adopted to investigate a suspected outbreak of CRKP infection in the geriatric emergency ward of a hospital from October to November 2022, aiming at finding out factors caused the outbreak before taking corresponding control measures. ResultsA total of 3 cases of healthcare-associated CRKP infection were identified, of which 2 cases were homologous to a previous case of community-associated CRKP infection. What’s more, the 2 cases lived in the same ward with the latter and with adjacent beds, but the third case was non-homologous to the community-associated infection case. A total of 46 samples were collected from the environmental surfaces and the hands of healthcare workers, of which 7 samples tested positive for CRKP and were identical to the strains from the 2 healthcare-associated infection cases and the 1 community-associated infection case, originating from the bedrails, bedside tables, surface of non-invasive ventilator, bed curtains and panels of monitoring equipment, with a detection rate of 15.22%. But none of the 11 samples from the hands of healthcare workers tested positive for CRKP. The outbreak was effectively controlled after taking specific prevention and control measures such as strengthening personnel management, intensifying environmental cleaning and disinfection and strictly enforcing hand hygiene among healthcare workers. Subsequently, no similar new cases were reported during the 14-day follow-up period. ConclusionIncomplete environmental cleaning and disinfection, as well as inadequate enforcement of hand hygiene among heatheare workers may have contributed to the suspected outbreak of CRKP in the geriatric emergency ward. Early warning and timely investigation of suspected outbreaks of multidrug-resistant bacteria are crucial for preventing and controlling such outbreaks in hospitals.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of comorbidity of post-traumatic stress disorder and depression symptoms among active firefighters, and explore its influencing factors.Methods:In November 2021, a cross-sectional study was conducted using a combination of convenience sampling and cluster sampling. Active firefighters were selected as the research subjects for a questionnaire survey. 1100 questionnaires were distributed, 1032 were collected, and 1021 were valid, with an effective response rate of 98.93%. The PTSD prevalence and characteristics of firefighters were assessed by using the PTSD Checklist Civilian Version (PCL-C) . The degree of depression was assessed by the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) . The coping style was assessed by the Trait Coping Style Questionnaire, and the Social Support Rate Scale was used to investigate the degree of social support. Combined with the general information, the influencing factors of comorbidity of PTSD and symptoms of depression in firefighters were analyzed with binary logistic regression based on single factor analysis.Results:Among 1021 firefighters, 379 had a PHQ-9 score of ≥5, and the prevalence rate of depression was 37.1% (379/1 021) . The prevalence rate of PTSD is 4.6% for 47 individuals with a total PCL-C score of ≥38, and the comorbidity rate of depressive symptoms among PTSD patients is 100%. Logistic regression analysis showed that injuries in the past six months, average/poor self-rated health status, and negative coping were all promoting factors for both the simple depression symptom group and the comorbidity group, while social support was the hindering factor ( P<0.05) . Two sets of OR values show that negative coping and social support have roughly the same degree of impact in both groups. The OR (95% CI) values of the two factors of being injured in the past six months and self-rated as average/poor health status have significantly increased in the comorbidity group. The OR (95% CI) values of being injured in the past six months has increased from 2.20 (1.24, 3.93) in the simple depression symptom group to 3.44 (1.30, 9.09) in the comorbidity group, and that of the self-rated as average and poor health status has increased from 4.91 (3.01, 8.00) to 6.56 (1.97, 21.87) and from 7.96 (2.25, 28.25) to 19.17 (4.75, 77.31) separately ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:The results indicate that firefighters with PTSD generally have comorbidity with depressive symptoms. The common influencing factor of being injured in the past six months is consistent with the pattern of PTSD symptoms triggered by depressive symptoms.

Objective:To explore the clinical effect of endoscopic radical thyroidectomy via three-port gasless intermuscular approach.Methods:This is a retrospective cohort study. The data of 148 patients who underwent radical thyroidectomy at the Fourth General Surgery Department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from January to June 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 31 males and 117 females,aging (43.5±9.6) years (range: 21 to 64 years). The surgical method was selected according to the needs and wishes of patients. Among them, 77 cases underwent endoscopic radical thyroidectomy via unilateral three-port gasless intermuscular approach (three-port gasless group),and 71 cases underwent unilateral conventional open radical thyroidectomy(open group). The surgical technique exploration curve of the three-port gasless group was drawn based on the operation time and the number of lymph node dissections,and the technical exploration period and the technical maturity period were divided. The clinical data of the cases in the three-port gasless group and the open group were compared during the technical maturity period. The independent sample t test was used to compare the quantitative data between the two groups, and the χ2 test or Fisher exact probability method was used to compare the categorical data, respectively. Results:According to the technical exploration curve,there were 11 cases in the technical exploration period of the three-port gasless group,and 66 cases in the technical maturity period. In the technical mature period,the injury rate of temporary recurrent laryngeal nerve in the three-port gasless group was 1.5% (1/65),and the number of lymph node dissections was 5.9±3.5(range:0 to 14),which was not statistically significant compared with 4.4% (3/68) and 5.8±3.7(range:0 to 16) in the open group (all P>0.05). In the technical mature period,the operation time of the three-port gasless group was (39.2±6.2)minutes(range:30 to 55 minutes) and the postoperative drainage volume was (57.6±11.8) ml(range:30 to 90 ml),which were lower than those of the open group((67.8±13.9) minutes (range: 30 to 105 minutes) and (82.9±22.4)ml(range:50 to 175 ml)),and the differences were statistically significant ( t=15.303, 8.177, both P>0.05). During the technical maturity period,the postoperative hospital stay in the three-port gasless group was (3.2±0.4)days(range:3 to 4 days), which was not statistically different from that of the open group((3.2±0.4)days(range:3 to 5 days))( P>0.05). The incision satisfaction of patients in the three-port gasless group one month after the operation was higher than that of the control group (100% vs. 62.0%) ( P<0.01). Conclusion:Compared with open surgery,endoscopic radical thyroidectomy via three-port gasless intermuscular approach has certain advantages in terms of operation time, postoperative drainage volume and patient cosmetic satisfaction.

Ergonomic Principle for the Prevention of Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders Part 1: General Principles (T/WSJD 14.1-2020) is the first guideline standard for the prevention of work-related musculoskeletal disorders provided to employers and occupational health technical service institutions in China, which covers ergonomic risk factors and their hazard definition, ergonomic prevention principles, risk assessment process, risk control process and risk evaluation principles. The standard specifically clarify the specific types of adverse ergonomic risk factors and control strategies and the standard process of systematic ergonomic risk assessment, providing implementation paths and practical guidance for eliminating/reducing adverse ergonomic risks and enhance workplace environments to prevent work-related musculoskeletal disorders. This paper interprets and analyzes the background of standard establishment, formulation process, fundamental basis, and main content, etc., to provide scientific and accurate technical support for enterprise managers, labours and technical personnel of occupational health institutions to optimize the use of this standard.

Objective:To investigate the incidence of shoulder work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among occupational population in China, and to explore their intrinsic association with personal and work-related factors.Methods:In April 2024, 73497 valid questionnaires of the Chinese version of the Musculoskeletal Disorders Electronic Questionnaire were retrospectively analyzed from June 2018 to December 2023 in 22 provinces and 29 key industries in China, and the general information, occurrence of WMSDs and related risk factors of key occupational populations in different regions in China were collected. By using Chi-square test and confirmatory factor analysis, the relationship between shoulder fatigue and pain in key occupational groups and individual factors, work type, work posture and work organization was discussed, and the internal relationship was analyzed based on structural equation model.Results:Higher incidence of shoulder fatigue and pain were associated with female, lack of physical exercise, uncomfortable working posture and neck leaning forward ( P<0.05). Structural equation model analysis showed that work type, work posture and work organization were strongly correlated ( r=0.58, 0.55). Work organization and work type were strongly correlated with shoulder fatigue ( r=0.65) and moderately correlated with shoulder fatigue ( r=0.21). Shoulder fatigue was moderately associated with shoulder pain ( r=0.40). Individual factors, work type, work posture and shoulder fatigue could directly affect shoulder pain ( OR=0.07, -0.09, 0.17 and 0.40), and work type and work posture could also indirectly affect shoulder pain through shoulder fatigue ( OR=0.08, 0.03). Work organization only indirectly affected shoulder pain through shoulder fatigue ( OR=0.26) . Conclusion:The main influencing factor of shoulder pain is shoulder fatigue, followed by work posture and individual factors. Structural equation model can better reflect the complex relationship between work type, work posture and work organization and shoulder WMSDs. Improving work posture and work organization may be an effective way to control the influence of shoulder fatigue on shoulder pain.

Objective:To explore the structural equation model to explore the levels of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) and various risk factors in the feet and ankle of China's occupational population, providing scientific basis for for preventing WMSDs in feet and ankles.Methods:Data of 73497 national occupational epidemiological cases were selected from June 2018 to December 2023 used the Chinese version of the Electronic Questionnaire on Musculoskeletal Disorders. The adverse ergonomic factors and their source classification standard and confirmatory factor analysis were used to investigate foot and ankle WMSDs and their related risk factors (including individual factors, work organization, work posture, work type, fatigue, etc.) in key occupational groups in China, and structural equation model hypothesis, fitting, verification, and path and intermediary effect analysis were carried out. The model fit evaluation indexes included Chi-square specific degrees of freedom ( χ2/ df), gauge fit index (NFI), Tucker Lewis index (TLI), goodness of Fit index (GFI), adjusted Goodness of Fit index (AGFI) and approximate root mean square error (RMSEA) . Results:A total of 73497 occupational workers were surveyed, with local muscle fatigue and WMSDs incidence rates in the feet and ankles being 17.17% and 12.06%, respectively. The fitting index of the adjusted structural equation model basically meets the standard (GFI=1, AGFI=1, RMESA=0.042, NFI=0.716, TLI=0.663). The top three factors affecting feet and ankle WMSDs are feet and ankle muscle fatigue, work type, and work organization, with standardized path coefficients of 0.221, 0.105, and 0.095, respectively. The top two factors affecting feet and ankle muscle fatigue are work organization and work type, with standardized path coefficients of 0.548 and 0.383, respectively. Feet and ankle muscle fatigue, work type, work organization, and work posture have a direct effect on feet and ankle WMSDs, with effect values of 0.221, 0.105, 0.095, and 0.077, respectively. The organization and type of work can also have indirect effects through feet and ankle muscle fatigue, with effect values of 0.121 and 0.084, respectively.Conclusion:Feet and ankle muscle fatigue has a direct impact on WMSDs, and plays a mediating role between ankle and ankle WMSDs caused by work organization and work type. Feet and ankle muscle fatigue is an important pathway leading to feet and ankle WMSDs. It is recommended that employers and managers detect job fatigue early and take corresponding prevention and intervention measures, which can play a key role in preventing feet and ankle WMSDs.

Objective:To explore the structural relationship between WMSDs in the upper limbs and various risk factors in the occupational population in China, based on a large sample epidemiological survey and structural equation analysis, and to establish a structural equation model, so as to lay a foundation for the prevention and control of such diseases.Methods:The Chinese version of the Musculoskeletal Disorders Electronic Questionnaire was used to conduct a nationwide survey on the prevalence of WMSDs in the upper extremity. Six factors related to WMSDs in the upper extremity were extracted by the classification standard of adverse ergonomic factors and their source and confirmatory factor analysis, including work organization, work type, upper extremity work posture, individual factors, upper extremity fatigue and upper extremity WMSDs. The structural equation analysis was carried out and the structural equation model was established.Results:The incidence of WMSDs and fatigue in the upper limbs was 24.44% and 43.76%, respectively. The adjusted structural equation model fitting indicators were generally up to the standard (GFI=1.000, AGFI=1.000, RMSEA=0.043, NFI=0.808, TLI=0.784) . The four exogenous latent variables of work organization, work type, upper limb work posture and individual factors were correlated. There was a strong positive correlation between job type and upper limb work posture ( r=0.865) , a moderate positive correlation between work organization and job type and upper limb work posture ( r=0.570, 0.490) , and a weak negative correlation between individual factors and the other three exogenous latent variables. Upper limb work posture and individual factors had direct effects on upper limb WMSDs, and the effect coefficients were 0.10 and 0.06, respectively. Upper limb fatigue played a mediating role between work organization, work type, upper limb work posture and upper limb WMSDs. The effect coefficient was 0.46, and the composition ratios of indirect effects were 100.0%, 100.0%, and 38.3%, respectively. The direct path effect of upper limb work posture, individual factors and upper limb WMSDs was weaker than the mediating path through upper limb fatigue. Conclusion:When carrying out the prevention and control of upper limbWMSDs, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the pathogenesis path of upper limb muscle fatigue and upper limb WMSDs caused by work organization, work type, and upper limb work posture, so as to provide theoretical reference for improving the prevention and control level of such diseases.
