Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) represent a significant occupational health challenge among healthcare professionals globally, posing substantial threats to physical and mental well-being as well as work sustainability. Adopting preventive behaviors—including ergonomic postural adjustments, optimized work-rest scheduling, proper use of protective and assistive equipment, and regular physical activity—is essential for mitigating the risk of WMSDs. Guided by the social ecological model, the review synthesized current evidence on the determinants of WMSDs preventive behaviors across four levels: intrapersonal characteristics, work environment conditions, interpersonal support, and policy/institutional factors. The findings suggest that higher educational attainment, favorable health-related behavioral patterns, optimized ergonomic work environments, adoption of supportive collaborative systems, strong organizational support, as well as policy safeguards facilitate preventive behavior adoption. Conversely, limited prevention-related knowledge, low risk perception, insufficient physical activity, excessive workload, lack of appropriate protective equipment, inadequate ergonomic training, a prevailing culture of presenteeism, and inadequate policy implementation constitute significant barriers. Multi-dimensional intervention strategies targeting these determinants are warranted to enhance preventive behaviors, reduce the risk of WMSDs, and strengthen occupational health protection for healthcare professionals.

It is believed that patients with cirrhotic ascites exhibit a pathological mechanism characterized by the decline of healthy qi and the accumulation of pathogenic factors. Clinically, treatment should be based on the theory of tonification and purging, with a staged approach distinguishing between the active phase and the remission phase. The balance between tonification and purging should be adjusted according to the progression of pathogenic and healthy actors. In the acute phase, purging should take precedence over tonification, using purging as a means of tonification to facilitate the flow of water and qi through the triple energizer. The severity of water retention, dampness, blood stasis, and heat should be carefully assessed to ensure thorough elimination of pathogenic factors while avoiding harm to healthy qi. Medication adjustments should be made once the pathogenic factors are significantly weakened. In the remission phase, an integrated approach combining both tonification and purging should be adopted, incorporating purging within tonification to clear residual pathogens and prevent recurrence. Concurrently, proactive treatment of the underlying disease is essential to achieve complete recovery and prevent the recurrence of ascites.

ObjectiveTo explore a rapid and accurate method for evaluating the quality of Prunus mandshurica (Maxim.) Koehne (P. mandshurica, Ku Xing Ren) during rancidity using machine vision and learning.MethodsSensory evaluation and chemometrics were used to classify P. mandshurica quality grades after rancidity. Chemical indicators of the P. mandshurica quality change were determined to verify the obtained grades and support the subsequent modeling. The International Commission on Illumination color space was used to extract the color features of the P. mandshurica. Discrimination and prediction models based on color features combined with multiple machine learning algorithms were established using 10-fold cross-validation and external test set validation.ResultsThe P. mandshurica rancidity samples were allocated to three quality grades. The Bayes net model based on powder color successfully identified the P. mandshurica at different grades with an accuracy of 88.89% and 100% using two validations, and the naive Bayes model based on section color achieved the same accuracy with an receiver operating characteristic area of 0.979. The instance-based k-nearest neighbors model based on powder color performed best in predicting the amygdalin content [R2 = 0.9801, mean absolute error (MAE) = 0.2071, root mean squared error (RMSE) = 0.4170], followed by the random committee model in predicting the acid value (R2 = 0.9580, MAE = 1.5121, RMSE = 1.9099) and the random forest model in predicting the peroxide value (R2 = 0.8857, MAE = 0.0027, RMSE = 0.0035).ConclusionThis study demonstrates that color digitization analysis is a potential method for rapidly evaluating the quality of P. mandshurica across the rancidity process, providing a new reference for the quality assessment of traditional Chinese medicines.

AIM: To observe the efficacy of intravitreal Conbercept injection(IVC)in diabetic neovascular glaucoma(NVG).METHODS:Retrospective study. Totally 57 patients(57 eyes)with NVG(stage II)secondary to proliferative diabetic retinopathy(PDR)treated in our hospital were collceted from January 2019 to December 2022. Among them, 30 patients(30 eyes)were treated by IVC and panretinal photocoagulation(PRP)in the observation group, and 27 patients(27 eyes)were treated by PRP in the control group. The best corrected visual acuity(BCVA, LogMAR), intraocular pressure, neovascularization of the iridocorneal angle(NVA), central macular thinkness(CMT)changes and disease progression were analyzed with a follow-up of 2 years.RESULTS: There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics between the two groups(P>0.05). At the last follow-up, the BCVA in the observation group was better than the control group(P<0.05). The intraocular pressure, CMT and progression of NVA in the observation group were less than the control group(all P<0.05). The patients with NVG developed from stage II to stage III in the observation group was less than the control group(P<0.05). In the observation group, the BCVA improved compared with preoperative at 6 mo(P<0.05). In the control group, the BCVA decreased compared with preoperative after 24 mo(P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that NVG progression and intraocular pressure were factors affecting BCVA(LogMAR)changes(β=0.511, 0.014; t=4.461, 2.092; P<0.01, 0.041, respectively). In the observation group, the IOP decreased at 1, 6 and 12 mo compared with preoperative(all P<0.05), while there were no significant differences at 18 and 24 mo compared with preoperative(all P>0.05). In the control group, the intraocular pressure decreased at 6 mo compared with preoperative(P<0.05), while there were no significant differences at 1, 12, 18 and 24 mo compared with preoperative(all P>0.05). There were no significant difference about the types of glaucoma drugs between the observation group and the control group(all P>0.05). There were no infectious endophthalmitis and other complications observed in both groups.CONCLUSION: IVC combined with PRP demonstrates superior efficacy over PRP monotherapy in treating NVG(stage II)secondary to PDR. IVC combined with PRP showed better outcomes in controlling iris neovascularization, slowing visual impairment progression, reducing intraocular pressure, and delaying disease advancement.

Objective To examine the significance of susceptible gene detection for hereditary cancer syndrome (HCS) among general population. Methods A total of 2 928 individuals undergoing routine health examinations in Healthcare Center of Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, from September 2021 to April 2024 were enrolled retrospectively. Next generation sequencing was employed to identify susceptible genes for HCS. American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) guideline was used to analyze the pathogenicity of variants. Clinical data, imagings, follow-up data were also collected. Results The overall mutation rate of HCS panel was 3.59% (105/2 928), with 0.61% (18/2 928) for MutY DNA glycosylase (MUTYH), 0.27% (8/2 928) for breast cancer susceptibility gene 1/2 (BRCA1/2) and 0.23% (7/2 928) for mismatch repair (MMR) genes. Conclusions Healthy individuals carrying tumor susceptible genes usually lack the relevant clinical phenotypes. Whether comprehensive testing needs to be carried out among healthy people remains to be further explored.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between clinicopathological features and germline mismatch repair (MMR) gene variants in endometrial cancer patients and to evaluate the clinical utility of germline multi-gene panel testing.Methods:This single-center, retrospective case series study included 100 endometrial cancer patients treated in Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University between July 2022 and February 2024. We collected clinicopathological data and tumor molecular testing results. 61 cancer susceptibility genes were tested using next-generation sequencing, and the associations between the detection rate of germline variants and the clinicopathological characteristics in endometrial cancer patients were explored.Results:Among 100 patients, 28% (28/100) were found to have pathogenic variants in cancer susceptibility genes, of which 20 patients carried germline MMR gene variants and the remaining 8 patients carried variants in other cancer susceptibility genes. Of the 20 patients diagnosed with Lynch syndrome, only 40% (8/20) met the Chinese family history criteria for Lynch syndrome. Among 53 patients with intact MMR protein expression, 1 patient was identified with a germline MMR gene variant. In the 14 Lynch syndrome patients with confirmed microsatellite status, 5/14 of those showed low microsatellite instability or microsatellite stability. Germline multi-gene panel testing in all endometrial cancer patients additionally identified 1 Lynch syndrome patient and 8 patients with non-Lynch hereditary cancers.Conclusion:Current clinical screening criteria may miss some endometrial cancer patients with Lynch syndrome. Compared with traditional screening pattern, germline multi-gene panel testing not only improves the detection rate of Lynch syndrome in endometrial cancer patients but also identifies other hereditary cancer predispositions.
